My Valentine's Day of 2009

Surprisingly this year I got two bunches of beautiful roses, yellow and red. My hubby let me guess the price. Hopefully my sharp price sensitivity based upon the weekly grocery shopping insight did not scare away the lovers' romantic moment.

If red rose tells ebullient, zealous and long lasting love, yellow rose says implicit dignity. That glow reflects the cherished friendship and the delight of the moment being together between lovers.

In our marriage and friendship, we appreciate the past journey walking side by side and embrace passion and respect moving towards future.

Happy Chinese Ox Year to Everyone!

In 2009, Chinese celebrated Lunar New Year on January 26 to February 9. Hope the Ox Year brings us the bull market. Many friends of mine are the expecting parents in this prosperous year.

These are pictures I took in Manhattan Chinatown of New York on January 26 and February 9.

One Comes, One Goes

I had not blogged for a long time since my NYS bar exam got closer to last summer. After bar exam, I went back to Taiwan and visited my parents, brother and good friends right there in October and November. At the last week in Taiwan, I became so busy because of my grandmother's funeral and my young brother's wedding plan. After being together for ten years, my brother and his girl friend finally decided to have their own family and got ready to welcome a new baby arrival.

To live and to die which happens to one's life is just like making a turn at a corner. "One comes, one goes." My mother-in-law told me that it seemed like some kind of mysterious rule of the Nature and that happened couple times around us without a strong explanation. However, how a emotionally involved person can swing between such deeply delight and sorrow.
