Trust is not what you say but what you do

Today there is a report from newspaper that a famous female movie star once was angry and flight with his movie star boy friend for his affairs with other actresses.

“Why don’t you trust me anymore? Why do you believe those paparazzi?” He asked.

“Trust is not saying by month! If you are approaching the other actresses with a clear, firmed and decent attitude, it will be my fault for not trusting you. But if you want me to trust you, just show you are worthy to trust!” She answered.

So, indeed, the real trust is not just words but the actual actions.

Good Intention Connects People

“Good intentions” is the most important factor to connect friends and lovers together. If there is not, then just walk out the relationship happily.

Our relationship is over, coz I don’t feel there is any good intention back from you. We both have the new people to meet and new life to go on. Nothing to regret or be pity for. Here just let me say thank you and goodbye with my best wishes for all the happiness and pain you've brought to me. They shall be parts of my life forever.

All my life is want to be a housewife

Whenever I told friends “All my life is to be a housewife.” And life just doesn’t lead me to that position. Seems no one believes it.

I had lunch with Leslie today and I told her this idea and she just can’t help to laugh and said “You don’t look like at all!” Ok, I had enough that klinda laugh.
“I do! Just check all my diaries from very little kid to now! I always wanna get married and be a decent housewife to take care the family all the time! It’s the biggest dream in my entire life! So that’s why I scare men away every time coz they all sense that while we’re just dating in starting few days!” I started to explain.
“You just look like a super career woman!” Leslie said.
”I know! That’s the problem! I always attract the wrong guys! They thought I should be very tough and independent in my career and it turns out I am such a little woman who wants nothing but get married and to be a housewife! So my appearance doesn’t really tell, does it?” I said.
“Alright! Alright!” She keeps laughing, and said.

After she knew that my boss gonna detach my department as an independent-run sub company which means I gonna be a “boss” in some way. She just reacted as everyone else and said “Congratulations!” Who knows I feel more frustrated and feel that my biggest dream is a bit far away more. All I just can say what you want more in life is always more far away from you.

But Leslie, in the end, brought up a very good idea to me. I told her:
“You know what’s my most idea life? I dream to be a housewife to take care of family and if I have the extra time from it, I really would devote myself to write columns and books. And you know one of my biggest dreams is to write a book in English! How nice it would be if I could do that!”
“Yeah, and I believe you will, honey. And when the day comes, you are just retired from some kinda position like a CEO of multiple-national company. Then you write a book with the title ‘All My Life is Want to Be a Housewife!’, that gonna make the greatest hit and be the best seller ever! See how big the contrast it is!” Leslie said and laughed.
I can’t help to laugh too now and replied “Yeah! And subtitle with ‘With the heart of a housewife to run business’ which gonna make a big hit in business book category!”

We just laughed and laughed even after we walked out the restaurant on the way back to office, this idea is hilarious but also definitely a brilliant one! I love this idea! Thanks to Leslie, it’s a goal ahead anyway. I like working with a goal and dream ahead! Ha ha!

Be Happy to Get Older

I met Hope, my very good old college classmate who’s far away in Holland online tonight.

We haven’t talked like this for a long time, thanks to the hi-tech nowadays. Just randomly talked about everything, what’s up here in Taipei and Holland both sides. When we talked about one old school classmate got married and another old classmate’s old story came along. I told Hope we broke up for years and she was surprised as all the other old friends since her and I were the best friends ever for known in the class. I don’t wanna explain to much about the details of the story and all I said is “I finally learn to choose friends after being hurt many times, I am just so afraid to get hurt again.” I have this realization all thanks to Anita.

Hope said she was shame that she seldom contact old classmates in Taiwan. I replied “Of course you can’t coz you’re in Holland, don’t blame that on yourself.” But she answered “No, coz I know not everyone could be your friend and not everyone you can talk through things and trustable.” What an answer! Just the right answer to my decision now! I told her “I should learn it from you coz I never know how to protect myself and always trust in people and now there are scars all over my body everywhere and now I learn!” Hope said she’s luckily she has never been hurt badly as I have. She realized it early so she doesn’t get hurt. I am almost 30 and now I learn it. I know how to choose friends and evaluate friends into different levels so I would not trust everyone with the same faith which helps me to avoid getting hurt in some way somehow. It’s like exams to friends to test if they really have good intentions to be true friends, you have to exam it again and again all the time and renew the records. And it really takes time, coz trust is so hard to build up but it could be ruined in any second. It’s like the nails on the fence even you remove all of them, the marks stay there still forever.

I told Hope recently I suddenly realized how angry I am that I really waste 2 years on this unworthy man. I told Amber too and she answered “but you have to admit not because of him, you would not learn so much and change instantly instead.” Yes, she is absolutely right. Hope answered me that “but the same time you can’t deny that you had a great time too.” She explained “There is a Dutch slang called ‘Be Happy to Get Older’, now I tend to keep that way.” Yes, I should really learn from Hope, we all have to learn to think positive, forget the unhappy things for life goes on. Just let go of yourself and be happy to get older!

Tonight, I do learn…

Being sick all the time

So many people are getting cold these days, and I try so hard not to get involved but always be involving.

They said the flu is nothing to do with the weather getting cold or not, it’s because people tend to close windows when the weather is getting cold so the virus keep circulating indoors.

I slept and slept over the weekend, finally got better but when it comes to be in office on Monday morning, I just got the flu again and feel so awful. I really hate to get sick, not because the physical uncomfort but the mental effected that keeps me thinking passive.

I told Amber how depressed I am, and all the bad thoughts in my mind. Amber said coz you’re sick so you becomes so passive, when you get better then you won’t think that way. So just temperately lar! “You will be fine!” Amber said.
