    Last Day being a Vegetarian

     
              
    Finally, i finish one month of being a vegetarian.
    Is it hard!? yes...  Especially, during the third week.
    It was so tough, look back, it was difficult;
    look front, still have half way to go...  so struggling!
     
    Today is last day to go, 3 hour ago, i had my dinner.
    Now I feel so released, another half hour I am free.
    and not just like that...
     
    I won !!  Win my self, a toughest enemy you have to deal with.
    No wonder Kob said this is also a part of practice of mind.
    a practice of self-control, now i understand.
    After all, self-esteem is growning, too.
     
    I am really happy for my self though!!

    Suffering together, Happy together

     
    At early 5am picked you up,6am we arrived Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve.  Weather is much colder than I thought, but already too hot to find any dew at this early morning.  Even though I can't find anything I was looking for, i did find many interesting objects instead -- snails, ladybugs, bees...
     
        
    3 bad things happened today:
    1. my Nikkor VR Micro lens appears difficult to focus automatically;
    2. you accidently steped into the marshland...
    3. i was feeling colder and more colder; tired and more tired.
    but 3 good things happened following:
    1. San Jose Camera Store is sending my lens to Nikon store.  4-6 weeks, it will return under a perfect condition.
    2. I was scared when I saw you standing in the marshland. Thanks God! You were back on land rapidly.
    3. We canceled following trip to Stanford again and went back your home directly. You got a warm bath, and I could sleep from 11am to 1pm, and again from 4pm-9pm. 
    What a day we spent together 
     
    I was feeling terrible laterly. However, your porridge tasts so good, thank you for your cooking!
    Today may not be a wonderful day, but with you, definitely, is a happy day after all.
     
    Aiden, i still can't believe that you recognize me because of my walking style.
    hehe, but it's ok as long as you like it, even though you mention I walk like a man...
    One more day to go, no more veg only, and by the time you are here, we can go any kind of meal.
    Can't wait your coming back this weekend!

    天气热热

     
     热!热!热!
    怎么会那么热,受不了,都懒得出去了,本来说好今天去 Stanford Museum,懒得只能明天去了。
     
    Just as long as you are beside me, I am happy!
    Because there are always something sweet I can receive from you...
    a sweet story from past... a sweet future tale... ... a sweet ice cream... a sweet candy...
     
    Happy always when you appear!
     
     
        
     
     现在看到镜子就拍,好像都成习惯了。
    这次 through the mirror,还拍到你,这样笑我,难道我看上去那么好笑吗?
    你说“好玩!” ... 
    呵呵

    Losting Love is Heartrending; Being Jealoused is Disturbing

     
    世上最伤心的事,莫过于失恋;
    最烦人的事,莫过于被人嫉妒;
    不一样的经历,可一样的无奈;
    遭遇了,更是一样的不幸。
     
    今天居然还是被一个 gay 嫉妒,实在是无言。更冤的是还是为了一个朋友被嫉妒,好无奈的。
    也不知道该做什么才好了...
    平时看到那种娘娘腔的男孩子,其实是很讨厌的,现在无缘无故还被这种人嫉妒,好惨的、好无聊的。
     
    那种嫉妒时所表现出来的行为到是和女孩子没啥两样,无故耍脾气、给脸色看、冷嘲热讽就不用说了...
    居然还会时不时地说些醋话,真是受不了了。咳,一个男孩子这样,要不是知道是因为爱一个人,还真瞧不起他了呢!
     
    咳,知道同性恋在旧金山很普遍,自己也有好多同性恋朋友结婚了,也为他们高兴呢。
    从来都没想到有一天会被一个 gay 嫉妒的,况且他喜欢的人只不过是一个很依赖我的好朋友。
    好朋友知道后,更是不知所措,难以置信外... 谁都不知道该如何才好...
    看来,他也是一样的无奈...  也许这就是人生!
     
     
        
     
    回到家,把从前 cambodia、
    中国旅游的照片都看了一遍,
    想找点照片convert to 黑白,
    然后再 Invert 成了 negative,
    打印到 Jetink Film paper。
    那明天就可以去photo lab放大到传统的照相纸上,
    下个星期二的课也就不用愁没有照片带去了。
     
    咳,自己都觉得自己投机取巧的无话讲,
    可又实在不想去借个传统照相机拍了,
    拍完了,还要先把底片冲出来,
    再把... 都不敢去想,烦...  不投机怎么行。
     
    找照片的时候,发现这张在柬埔寨机场拍的照片,
    那只大象我好喜欢的,也把它带来美国陪我呢。

    总是要到上课了,才想起还有一堆功课没做

     
              
    星期天的晚上总是最忙的,因为总会想起很多功课没做完,PHTG 58B 星期三要交第一份作业了,可都还没有开始动起来来呢。PHTG 54 得更麻烦,从前的那些黑白老胶卷也不知道都跑哪里去了,现在说一定要用胶卷到暗室放大照片的,可是还不知道用什么放呢...  现在都是数码的了.
     
    ... 晕!

    Full Schedule

     
    Bookstore 的 Rush Hour 终于过去了,一切恢复平静。
    今天也拿到了接下来整个学期的固定 Schedule。
    不会再像上个学期那么傻给个早上的 schedule 了,没得懒觉睡 :)
     
    课程和打工的时间配合得相当好,星期四还可以一起和你打工,好得很呢!
    星期五可以做做功课等你下班,周末还可以和你一起到处拍拍照,不错呢。
     
     
    原以为很简单的 Photography History 原来也有很多功课呢,
    两个 exhibitions 和 papers to due,不过我相信没什么大问题的。

    糖果、热水澡

     
              
    突然发现,洗个热水澡也是如此享受的事情。
    只是静静地站在淋下的水中,感觉着水流过每一寸肌肤,暖暖的,好舒服,真不想出来了。
     
    今天打工我吃了很多很多糖果,把新同事都吓倒了
    明天没有课、也不用去打工 ,自在的日子呢!

    Academy USA

     
         
    就在我学校对面拍的
    Dance Academy USA
    一个给小朋友学跳舞的地方。
     
    我们今天来,却是买书的。书店就在这后面,因为你的书在学校找不到。

    Half Moon Bay Downtown

     
        
     
    先来到 Half Moon Bay 的 Downtown。一个很有特色,艺术氛围很浓厚的小镇。
    到处是鲜花、Gallery、布置得很有异域风情的小店... 你说很喜欢逛这样的店,因为其他地方看不到。
     
     
        
     
    不经意的一面墙、一个座位、一个角落,都会时不时找到一些点缀,透露出一股与众不同的艺术氛围。
    的确是很久没有来了,可还是记忆中那个能让人神闲气定,悠然自得的 Half Moon Bay!

    Half Moon Bay

     
    Spring Quarter finally started, today is our first weekend.
    After you finish all your homework, we step on our trip to Half Moon Bay.
     
        
     
    这里的海滩总好像是来不厌的,每次来,每次都有新的心境。
    听着你说小时候的故事,还真是挺有趣的。
     
     
        
     
    虽然每次都很喜欢站着瞭望这片无边无际的海洋,好像一个不小心能看到海的那头,where I came from;
    可还是经受不起这阵阵的刺骨寒风,早早躲回车里,不停的叮嘱自己下次一定要多带些能防寒的衣服来。
    旧金山的 bay area 就是这样的,哪怕是到夏日炎炎,太阳当头照的时候,海风阵阵吹来还是刺骨寒冷的。
    已经不知道几次被这样的假象所蒙骗了,可还是没学乖,总是到了,才想起,真是的!

    戴墨镜的日子

     
        
     
    难怪今天 edit 照片时,总觉得怪怪的,怎么改都觉得不对劲。
    原来是这副大大的墨镜,难怪你们都说看了不习惯,我自己看了都不习惯。
    不知道为什么,和你在一起,总会伤到自己,从ice-kating脸上划到疤开始。
    好像留疤已经是家常便饭的事了...  ... 疤痕还真没停过!

    First Weedend of Spring Break

     
        
     
    今天陪你去买书,真是的,总是等到用的时候,才想起买书了。 真是的,亏你也在 bookstore 打工呢!
     
     
        
     
    眼睛上因为XXX的原因,成了 black eye,活像一只熊猫,所以一整天都带着大大的墨镜。
    虽然不痛不痒,可是很难看,还情愿颠倒一下呢!希望能早早褪下去,时时刻刻带着墨镜也挺不习惯的。

    4 节摄影课

     
    这个学期拿了4节摄影课:
    Digital Photography, Experimental Photography,
    History of Early Photography, and Special Projects in Photography.
     
    数码摄影和摄影历史课应该不难。
     
    那个Experimental Photography好像挺烦的,所有作业都要在暗室里完成,我挺不喜欢的。
    dark room 的操作太繁琐,一点都没有电脑来的简便快速;还有那些化学品,味道可重了。
     
        
    Special Project in photography,总算顺利拿到表格,因为一个学期老师一共就招2-3个学生,所以想拿这节课,不容易的。
     
    星期二,和老师讨论,决定做 self-portrait as a photographer 为题的数码作品。期末交上6-8个作品就好。
     
    说难不难,说容易也不容易的一门课。
    也就这节课最具挑战性了。
     
    希望这个学期也能顺顺利利全拿A。希望你也一样全拿A。

    First Day of the Spring Quarter

     
    和你玩玩闹闹度过了这短暂的一星期,
    加深的是两人对彼此的了解,感觉挺幸福的。
     
     
    今天是开学的第一天,第一节就是数码摄影课。
    老师让介绍我们自己,我想也没想就说了喜欢摄影,
    准备拿个数码摄影的学历,所以才选这门课。
     
    呵呵,不知道自己到底行不行的。
    不过有一点我是知道的,当拿起相机的时候,
    不快乐的事都能抛到脑后,手里拿的、心里想的
     
    全是摄影!

    Spring Break at Santa Cruz

     
    It just doesn't feel like spring break since both of us have to work at Bookstore.
     
    Last week is more like spring break with Aiden you were here.
     
    However, today I decided give my self a break and we went to Santa Cruz to enjoy a srping trip!
     
    After we visited Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and played as much rides as we can, we drove around and enjoyed the rest of day over there.
        
     
    You said you love here a lot and like to visit here often
     
     
        
     
    So, we made a season pass to Broadwalk, and got two one-day passes for your bro and sis,
    so next time we can come back together play at broadwalk, and having a B.B.Q. here!
