piles of stories

The heater still doesn't work in the apartment. According to my dad, the technician literally just came, took a look at the heat system, and then left without a word. so the problem of heater... remains unsolved...

I came back from work, and my dad was home already. With a smile on his face, he invited me for a dad-daughter talk as I put down my bag. so we sat on the sofa and had a heartfelt talk. Our conversations touched upon various topics. Overall it was about one word, "respect."

Yes, respect. People live their lives in billion different ways; and their lives are generally wrapped or piled upon by layers of layers of layers of stories, hidden, distorted, faded... One day, when a person comes to me and reveals one of his/her stories to me; how can I judge the essence of him/her by simply reading their one single story......

peaceful day overall

i started to record my valentine's day by refreshing my memory. :)

I signed up for my very first CPR course finally. I've been thinking of taking the course for years. But without a spontaneous act yesterday, the plan would never be fulfilled. So here I go, I registered and will take the class next Tuesday. From 9am to 4pm, we are going to have an intensive training at 49th Street. The first thing I need to make sure is to review the related materials online in case the course is difficult. Overall I need to pass the course in order to get the certificate.

The AC in the apartment is off today. As I woke up in the morning, i could feel the coldness on my forehead, my body ached as well. so as I got up, the first thing I did was to boil water, so I could make a cup of tea for myself.

Since Max is not here, there is no point for me to celebrate. So as usual, we called and talked over the phone for a while, and then I set to go out to work.

on the way home, I stopped at Starbuck for a while. sitting there, I did a little reading. A young couple in front of me (I bet they are younger than 18) had been sweet to each other from the first moment they had sat down. A bit of silly, but in a sweet way, reminded me of my long-faded-away youth... :D
