Horoscopes

Why do I even believe in horoscopes?
But the weird thing is, it matches to a great extent of my character and those around me.
I guess there must be some sense in it, it is just that I don't know yet.
I don't know so many things. But it's ok, I don't have to know them all. I just need to believe in what I believe in.

The world is flat

It is an interesting book. Maybe I should have read it in college. But I was too immersed at literatures back then. Now I still like philosophy & literature more than economics, but I find economics more appealing as it plays such an important role in shaping our world. Supply chain, outsourcing, offshore manufacturing, those are terms that I don't know much about. A world with all mixed thoughts faiths realities and possibilities - fantastic

Oh Lily

Lily
Do you feel lonely?
Please - Just please
Don't run to me.

Sorry
I don't want to lie
But I'm sad
Sad
when watching you in the eye

They say you are a clown
They say you are a cutie

They say you are good and bad -
Girl or Doggy

Don't cry
And don't watch me like that
Maybe you don't want to trade your freedom
Just like me.

Do you have a choice?

You made me sad, girl - or should I say - doggy

I feel tired

Today as usual I feel tired. I played piano for a while to keep myself being peaceful. I tried my best to understand my mom but sometimes she is driving me crazy. I understand that there is a huge gap between us and sadly I realized that at some point it's actually better to keep a distance, not to irritate her. I know that I inherited the stubbornness from her, but still it makes me feel uneasy to try convince her that- the world is larger than she thinks. She would say something to make me feel guilty but I know she didn't mean it. It drives me crazy when she doesn't admit her wrong doings. There is some absolute correctness in things I believe, but she just refuses to give it a thought. Ah, stubbornness. I feel so helpless. Maybe I should try let her read.
