relation-ship

it always makes me feels happy to hear

someone and someone is together, finally!

somehow, i think, love's cupid has finally decided to bless us,

almost all, this year, with someone special.

and i like it, to share this joy of yours.

a friend of mine used to tell me this;

getting into a relationship - that's easy, just find one,

but getting out of a relationship - that's tough.

such words of wisdom,

for me, and for you (who is reading my blog).

love's not just about the sweetness and lovey dovey-ness of it,

but its a journey of molding and sculpturing each other.

everyone is a unique self, but in a relationship,

its about how we each learn to give and take,

and thus slowly becoming the best fit for each other.

there bound to be ups and downs - that's life,

but don't be disheartened, believe in each other,

there is always a rainbow awaiting the rain to end.

i wish all those in love,

love deeply.

and of course,

i must say,

Thank God for the special you in my life.

you are my sunshine!

valentine's

bouquet of flowers delivered right at my door steps in my Moscow dormitory.

because its -15deg outside, so they wore think plastic coat all the way here.

such lovely flowers from my dearest baby!

this lovely bouquet must have a name,

and its called - JULIET

'you are my Juliet'

'i want to be your Romeo, may i?'

although i always say,

i prefer chocolates to flowers,

but seriously, this is the first bouquet

someone so special has ever given me.

and because its given to me by my most beloved boy,

i love it so much to bits!

i'm you most 幸福小女人！

5227.15 miles

this day, i used to say,

is for the business man to make a fortune,

this day, i used to say,

if 2 people are deeply in love,

everyday can be valentine's day.

then, i was free soul,

searching in the widest ocean for my missing puzzle piece.

today,

i say now, is for couples,

today, i say now,

is for you and me,

today, i say now,

is for me to say 'i love you' once again.

now,

i have found a place to anchor my heart,

and, thats in the deepest ocean of your love.

***

although we are 5227.15 miles apart,

the distance doesnt matters,

because you always live in my heart,

thats where we are the closest to each other,

your heartbeat, my heartbeat,

thats the symphony of our love.

if i were a sheet of canvas,

then you are the colours,

that painted the most beautiful rainbow in my life.

i love you dearest one.

thank you for your kind understanding.

快乐天堂

<快乐天堂>

大象长长的鼻子正昂扬
全世界都举起了希望
孔雀旋转着碧丽辉煌
没有人能够永远沮丧
河马张开口吞掉了水草
烦恼都装进它的大肚量
老鹰带领着我们飞翔
更高更远更需要梦想
告诉你一个神秘的地方
一个孩子们的快乐天堂
跟人间一样的忙碌扰攘
有哭有笑 当然也会有悲伤
我们拥有同样的阳光

hello 2011

its almost 10 days into 2011,

and i have yet said a thing about this new year,

so i'm here.

i've never began a year like this before,

for the first time in my 21 years of life,

01.01.2011 - was just another new day to me.

it held little significance to marking the start of a brand new chapter.

this feeling is weird,

maybe its a sign of aging.

anyway, in this new year,

i dont expect much,

i just want to have renewed passion in :

learning,

studying,

teaching,

serving,

loving.

its not easy, but thats my resolution for the year.
