Just You and Me and One Golden Retriever, Hon !!!

Angus asked me when I would post my love for him on my blog! I laughed hard about it when he mentioned that!! There were times when he asked me "What I love about him?" Which I didn't have an asnwer for!! I think, I love him! I know I do, or I am not sure that I don't.

Love seems like an ethereal and intagible abstraction that makes you happy and confused! When the two of you are happy at some moment, love is all around you and you are sure it is there. But when you start thinking hard on the future life that you gonna build base on the love you thought you already had, then you aren't so sure love is there and how much you have in your heart anymore!

We have been discussing every possible change in our future life. There are topics like-----Where to live? It is obvious we can't live apart, though I love Taichung so much, he gets better income in Taoyuan. Also, we've decided to pay more visits to each other's family before they meet up! And, my dream on my PH.D that becomes not just my personal goal to reach anymore, he is now involved in my consideration! However, it leaves an end that somehow grows an insecure feeling in my Angus that he is afraid that it might drift us apart because I might run into and fall for someone who is academic intelligent and brilliant and that happends to my kind of Mr. dreamy. Since, Angus and I are vaired in many levels!

So, here it is...The more we talk, the bigger the question mark appears and flutters in my head, hovers my brain with questions over and over again!! Do I really love this man? Is he the right one? Is he my meant-to-be? What am I thinking about? What was in my mind when I made up my mind about this marriage plan? How sure am I to this? How many married women had once had second thoughts on their choices on the papers?

I've told myself a thousand time, even before my decision on this, that I will never get married with a tiny sense of hesitation in it! But now, I am not so positive and certain about the promise I made for me. I think, to entrust one's happiness on another isn't a simple 'yes' or 'no' question. It is a pretty intricate analysis!

I haven't mentioned what exactly did the Shaman said about me. This famous shaman that my mom went to for family matters fortold a wonderful marriage in me and Angus. For that, I took it as a good sign to our relationship and thought that I should give it a try! Superstitious or not? Maybe, maybe not!

I have my reason for what I've dicided!

Originally, my thought in this relationship was to be together for about a year or two before considering the possibility of marriage without kids in it! Because I am medical-proven possible reproductive-challenged. I just wanted to be loved and enjoyed the love feelings. I didn't think too much in this realtionship!

Then..........He said:" I want to settle down earlier and my mom likes you. " Which is very importantto me. Besides, his family seems merrier and more harmonious than mine. And, there came that prediction of the Shaman.

I just want to grasp this chance which I don't know if I missed it, how long will I need to wait for the next one to come. I know the pressure that I am about to face is to have babies and for that I have no power in control. It is his obligation as the elder son in traditional Taiwanese family, though he is being very supportive and asks me not to worry too much about it!

Marriage, as I believe, will enrich and fulfill a woman's life that might bring her extensive life experience even though, the enternal marriage isn't expectable these days. I have this postive outlook on marriage's benefit to women nomatter what the consequence might be.

That's it! I have come to one turning point in my life path and I am giving it a try! Take my chance !

And Honey! I love you!

Walking down to the "Possible" Aisle---Prologue

For the past few weekends, whenever Angus and I were out for dinner, we would stop by the jewelry stores to check on the diamond rings and asked for the prices. (It was a delightful thing to try those beautiful rings on. We aren't that rich to afford a carat, but half a carat is my goal to reach. Hahahah~~)

Weddings cost a lots! So many things to buy and so little money to spend!


When he first took me to the jewlery store, I was so surprised and, for the first time, felt the authencity of this upcoming event!

There was no proposal of this whole event actually!
It was, when he mentioned to me in February of how much his family would like him to settle down earlier. My internal reaction was ---" Are you insane? We are only together for like less than a month? How can I possibily think of that?"

Of course, he wasn't giving me the position to fill in, but was telling me his aim for our relationship. I was repeating "How could I just entrust someone with my life happiness so easily?" in my heart.

And I didn't make up my mind until this Shaman from a temple fortelling her oracles.

Now, you might think Ginger is a silly person to believe in something with no scientific statistics!

Well..... it isn't easy to express myself well enough to the point of the ambiguous conceptions I have over life values and women.

I was a student in English literature for 7 years and the years before that I was a hard-working studnet who had worked my ass off in learning English.

In my studnet life, I was a person who had this dream to wish to be different somehow at some points from the girls that all Taiwanese parents would want thier daughters to be!
I didn't like much of my traditions and customs because their conceptions for women were so limited that I thought no souls should be confined in the bodies of the genders and no one would know for sure on woman's possible achievement!
By learning English, I felt closer to those who have more freedom in building their dreams. I mean, women from advanced Western countries.
I don't think that now~~~~
Anyway, part of me, with the education I received, I am deeply influenced by women liberation in Western countries. But, most in heart, I guess, I am never but a conventional Taiwanese woman who still tries to seek an outlet for those who don't wish to be too traditional.

"Shaman" in Taiwanese culture is believed to be someone who has carried God's mission on helping those who suffer in life matters and need directions for better futures.

In Taiwanese culture, we are totally toaism. Of course, Taiwan is a place with multi-religions.
But, Toaism is more like life practice here than religions. I was raised with such kind of background and in some ways, I am superstitious and believes in some taboos.
Angus thinks it is rediculous to someone like me who has received a master degree but to believe in a shaman who might not even have a high school diploma!

--stay tune---

Lack of Posting

I got my friend, Miget's email not long ago concerning my lack of posting lately! It is really delightful to know that this blog is read. I should have known better that an open blog online for communication is a responsibility. The ignorance is irrecoverable, I should try to amend it by coming here more often.

But to tell the truth, which is a bit embarrassing to admit, Love has stupefied my brain for the past 4 months. I have lost my insipiration completely! Everything makes me feel so contented and nothing brews in my heart for venting!

One day afternoon, I was enjoying buffet with an old coworker of mine, listening to her nostaligic memory searching of her younger life, which she intended to put down in words on her blog.
Suddendly she mentioned that how her lover now (to whom she met on line) had lost his misogynous ability in wriing (this man had been hurt badly by a woman in his younger life).
This striking point has brought me to realize that how greatly LOVE could be to fill out the empty hearts who had once been considered the most opinionated of all kinds!

Since I fell in love with my boyfriend. Everything has become so chaotic without its routine but no complaint.

Because Angus (My BF) lives in northern part of Taiwan while I am living in the middle part. We only see each other on the weekends. Our weekends together were all about outings, eating-out and visitings friends.


Before, the weekendtime was my time for book reading, TV and sitcoms watching and constant visits to my uncle's house or get-together with cousins and friends.

On the weekdays, which I used to go out with coworkers and friends for relaxing tea time in the afternoon and comforing late night pig out have been replaced with constant phone calls during the day time and long good night talk at night.


I couldn't recall much of the last time being alone by myself staying in bed for my diary!!
Let alone the time to log in Blogger for posting.

Today, after reading Miget's email, I've decided to come up here to put down some words about my forthcoming potential life alteration. I've been thinking about writing it since I got my fortune told. I'd like to put this whole process in record to build up a mirror for a retrospective reflection.
The thing is--------if everything goes well and smooth enough, I will be wedded before the end of 2007.
Angus and I have consented on this future possibility.
However, to get married isn't all about two of us, but the matter between two families~~~~
And that's how I should begin my recording~~~ (to be continued)

Well......

I love you and that's why I bug you
I bug those I care and to you I love.
I bug cause I care, I bug cause I love.
Suffocation to you and to me the same, too.

If a distance could be kept, a better tension can attain~

When Love is on the boat, the wind, the storm to conquer~
The Breeze, the sun to comfort~~

How could we enjoy the warmly sun with the lovely breeze if there was no wind, no storm to suffer?

This was the second year of cousin reunion. Of course, there are male cousins in the family, but this reunion is only for females. Besides, my first aunt's children who are much older than the rest of us and live without connection. There are only 5 females of us! We decided to get together whenever Joyce is back from Germany. She is married with German and live there now and would only come home for New Year.

Lament Loss of the Aerial Love

It has been just a few weeks from my last post, though, I feel like it has been forever to feel the mood to sit down at my laptop posting. I have been busy about adjusting my life with not only me in it but also a significant one gets involved. Being single for too long has crippled my ability to dare to say that I am in LOVE now~~

Thinking back to 2006, I was having this huge crush on someone who wasn't just academic brilliant but also artisitic talented. He is so talented that I believe whosever meets him would have this illusionary adoration over him whatsoever; for such an irrational crush, I was able to print down words in peotic forms to express my feelings for him. It was a bizzare but incredible experience. Thinking of someone with a full heart, filled the possibility into an impossible scenario milieu, an unrealistic fantasy over somebody you hardly knew of.
Such an unrequited admiration left an unbearable lightness of melancholia to the end of 2006.

But, agnostic as life is, I am suddenly in a relationship with someone I met a few months ago in Chinese teaching class. From all my past experience, "click-on at the first sight" had taken a great part in forming a relationship. Even when I discussed "Attraction" with a friend, I remembered how I insisted on putting "love at the first sight" as the enssential element in attraction. However, me and Angus didn't click on like that and it is very difficult (I would say, unable to tell) how we get together and why??? Perhaps, there was this invisible hand which maneuvered the subtle shifing in the process and put us together....Ha~

This is a whole new experience to me, with a man who is 2 years younger than me. But I guess what's more important is how your souls connect than appearance.

He has arrived in a blink!

The blissful moment with you is-----
How you've perceived what other people have not!
Took in the subtle action I tried to impress with a whole heart.
Print down a promise that the previous had never tried to commit~

Forget Not Yet and Feel in Vain, Yet again in Depair~~

Forget Not Yet
*****************
Thomas Wyatt

Forget not yet the tried intent
Of such a truth as I have meant.
My great travail so gladly spent
Forget not yet.

Forget not yet when first began
The weary life ye know since whan
The suit, the service none tell can
Forget not yet

Forget not yet the great assays,
The cruel wrong, the sconrnful ways,
The painful patience in denays.
Forget not yet

Forget not yet, forget not this.
How long ago hath been and is
The mind that never meant amiss,
Forget not yet.

Forget not then thine own approved,
The which so long hath thee so loved,
Whose steadfast faith yet never moved,
Fortgot not this!!

What shoul I say?

What should I say
**************************
by Thomas Wyatt

What should I say
Since faith is dead,
And truth is away
From you is fled?
Should I be led
With doubleness?
Nay, Nay, __________!


I promised you
And you promised me,
To be as true
As I would be;
But since I see
Your double heart,
Farewell my part!


Though for to take
It is not my mind
But to forsake---
I am not blind----
And as I find
So will I trust.
Farewell, unjust!


Can you say nay?
But you said
That I alway
Should be obeyed
And thus betrayed
Or that I wist---
Farewell, unkist!

We can't please Everyone (done)

Over the past 4 months, I was taking the Chinese Language Teaching course in my alma mater, Providence University, since its program is by far the most well-known in the middle Taiwan.

Frankly speaking, I would say, the course wasn't as rich as I expected! The course syllabus wasn't so organized! The most useful skill I learned from the course was the Pinyin System, the phonetic system that helps to teach Chinese. But to the grammatical part, it was quite blur and unclear.

The other ONLY benefit I got, was the teaching experience from the teacher who shared most of her teaching experience for over 30 years regarding the cultural parts.----"The techniques of dealing with the foreigners!" She told a bunch of stories regarding her pesonal experience on getting along with foreigners or the in-class management on how to manage the attitude of the foreign students. (To this aspect, I would totally stand by my teacher side, and nod my head hard!!)

Last night, she told us an example and led us to think about the values differences, also a word " Ethnocentrism!"

I've mentioned before on this blog that how friendly Taiwanese are to foreigners!
And to foreigner, I only refer to those who have white skin!
To this fact, it relates to the story she told!!!!

Her story was, an ABC (American born Chinese) came to Taiwan to study his mother tongue and told our teacher, how happy he was to be here that he didn't have to please people around and was able to be more like himself! The thing was, his traditional Chinese mother always taught him to be nice and kind to people and never being impolite or rude. (That's Taiwanese or Chinese' typical moral lesson!)

So, in a place where ethonocentrism and individulaism are highly appreciated and practiced, he was often time, finding himself pleased others when he didn't know how to tackle with the attitudes of the people around him! However, studying here in Taiwan, with the same race around him and who also share the same moral domestic lesson. He felt much more comfortable to be himself because his politeness and kindness are rewarded with the kindly response! So, he liked people here better.

Back to the top, I am NOT trying to criticize anything! All I am trying to is, to pinpoint the Value Differences and the idea of Ethonocentrism among cultures.

We, Taiwaneses always believe, Kindness will bring us good rewards and nice reponses! So, it is some kind of motto that always contains in either the ethic study from schools or the moral lesson parents teach their kids with.

Before, there were not so many scam events or criminal schemes, parents always told children to tolerate the unfairness or the social, interpersonal awkwarness.
Now, people are more aware of their rights and become more self-consicous and so, when they run into something that deprives their rights or jurisdictions, they know how to fight back or speak up!

But, I think, somewhere, somepart, the traditional ethic values still roots in everyone of us, that when we are handling something infamiliar, such as the foreign affairs, we tend to turn inward to the old ways. This subliminal consciousness is inherited in every generation and passes on for ages, even the emigrants from Taiwan can't escape from its influence.

On the other hand, Westerners, due to their histories and cultures, they incline to be more self-centered, and the family values and stuctures are much different from us, too.
Somehow, they don't feel that much an obligation to put up with something that agaist her/is will or idea.

Therefore, when two cultures clap, the differences in between, may, and frankly speaking, often cause lots of misunderstandings and cultural misconceptions.

According to the developmental modes above, the often-heard pattern of the relationship between the two cultures would be---Westerners being self-centered and maintain the ways they want with people, while Taiwanese are following the doctrine of the tradition to treat people with kindness when it comes to the infamiliar situations. So, this kind of interaction in the eye of the Third Party might seem to be that we are buttering up the White skin and please them for nothing but coldness.

This pattern leads to explain the result of the story our teacher told us. It, then, wouldn't be hard to figure why the ABC said, he could be more like himself here than America!

Compare to other Taiwanese, I am more like a third party person in this "dealing-with-foreign-affar" thing!

I grew up receiving the traditional values and doctrines! I was on the same path as others when it came to the foreign issue!

Fortunately, unlike the others, I am surrounded with foreign affairs and have more chances for the closer contacts; to which, it inspires and arouses the awareness of my identity and dignity of being who I am to prevent myself from losing in the misconception on buttering someone up and whose value is to cherish more of himself/ herself!

Here is another question just occured to me, if we are deeply affected by the education and values that given to us! (Even the emigrants who already move to other places, can't escape the influence of it) Then how about those places where people have been colonized?????

When a place is taken and occupied, the colonizer's first step is to destroy the language and the culture of its origin. That is how every colony has been through! First the language, then the religion power to input the different moality sense, then the system strucuture to take over the education and politics.

If one place is ruled by some other for a long time, will people might unconsicously think and act the way like its colonizer without realizing it?????? Even though, they have learned to be more aware of their identities and origins due to the self-oriented education the colonizer provides???Mm........

Good-hearted = Charity??

Ginger's Story Time----What would you do if something like this happened to you?


An old lady over 80 years old, 82 years old actually! She carries a big bag of guavas and 3 little boxes of Strawberries, selling them around in a noodle shop. While she is walking from one table to another, she keeps repeating that she is 82 years old, promises that she won't lie about the quality of fruit, and asks people to help her out. Scenario like this, always associates with someone who is so old that might have a hunchback. Fortunately, this old lady is healthy enough to walk, though slow but steady. Her elder age doesn't get any sympathy from others and at last, she walks out of the shop, continues her selling at next stop!

Running into a situation like this, always put me to a state of awkwardness! The parodoxical good and evil angels would take all over my mind. The question revolves around me continues non-stoppingly "Should I or should I not?"

Most of the time, seeing the scene like this would just freeze me stiffly and the result would turn out to be nagative!

Here is my reason !! Conventionally, it is our family values to support our elders and let them stay home doing whatever they please without working outside. Due to the incredibly medical technology, we no longer regarding 60 year-old person an "Elder" because s/he might look too young and energetic to be taken as one. An 82 year-old lady still working outside selling stuff could be concluded with only certain possiblities!

One, she is forced to work by her children! (We've seen that all the time!) If she was able to bring home some money, she would be forced to work out again for more. So, to ease the deed from her children who neglect the age of their mother, we shouldn't help her???

Or, she hasn't been a good mother to her children, so they abandoned her and now, at the old age, she needs to work again to support herself. If in this case, it is too cruel not to help her out a little, right?

Last, she has a sad story and is forced by the unspeakable reason, so she needs to help out the household. So, it would again be my fault not to help out, right?

The above possibilities didn't let me to take side on the weaker part of the possibility and I turned the lady down with the worst possibility!

I, always feel guilty about that (Because my domestic education was all about being nice to people and others) ~~~ but because of the often-heard charity scam in Taiwan. We're trained to be extra cautious about the situation like this!

There are times, we'd rather donate our money to the well-known charity organization than someone who claims to be poor! (That's how I do!)

I think, I can never overcome the ambivalence of the situation like this, ever!!!
Still, I think, my decision will always turn to the more sensible and careful one!

Don't End up Living in the Ivory Tower with Only Imaginary Friends

Tonight, I heard a story from the instructor in school. She told us that, one day, a worker in our school restaurant asked her about a man in white shirt. When our instructor asked her why she asked. She replied, "The man seems a bit quarky and always talks to himself!"

Continually, our instructor told us about his story that ----this man is a math professor. When he first came to our school to teach, he was only a Master degree teacher. After a few years, he decided to go to Germany for the Ph.D and broke up with his GF at that time. Because his GF thought it would be too difficult to get the Ph.D in Germany. It took him many years to get his degree and finally he was back again in campus to teach, but he was never as normal as before. Sometimes, according to our instructor, he would sit alone in the restaurant having his lunch or dinner, laughs or talks happily to himself.

Our instructor explained that, perhaps, he was too involved in his mathematic world that he forgot how to get along with people. If he could have paused a little bit more and looked around, he wouldn't have disconnected to the world around him and ended up alone all by himself in his middle age.

This is not just a sad story, but also a very retrospective one! Maybe I've mentioned before on my blog, how I am scared of the academic world with all fascinating things but might have forced people to sacrifice the youth and time and might end up alone without a family!

The academic paths for us here are quite different from the ones people have in Western countries! At least, from the part I've observed.

There are many people nowadays in Taiwan having Master degrees. Some of them got theirs abroad, some studied in Taiwan. But the qualities vary greatly from the reputation of schools and majors!

However, getting a Ph.D isn't an option for everyone who has a Master. Because it is difficult and many who get them will wait until they are older with a better finance! This only shows how poorly our government is to support the academic study! They would spend tons of money on the high speed train that isn't safe at all or the corrupted national health insurance, but wouldn't willing to help out those who are academic talented. Those who want to get Ph.D need, either to have rich parents or have to wait later on thier lean saving!

Their goals, then, will consume their energy on busing making money and when they finally able to realize their dreams, they would be too old to settle down.

You might wonder why they can't get married first, have families and then continue their studies?

It has something to do with our traditional conventions! Taiwanese conventional values are all about having better lives and making money!

Until now, many parents or either young people themselves would think that it is irresponsible to not making money, leaving your family aside and pursuing your dream in study. They don't find that realistic! They don't see the values of the academic studies, especially on Humanism and Art subjects. The ones that don't make profits.

Therefore, if someone is a Ph.D in Science, Bi0-Tech or Electronics. People would give off the admiration. But if you mentioned, you study in art history or history or like me, literature.

They wouldn't even have a clue about what your major is and how that could help you make more money!

So, the whole cultural background we're facing in Taiwan leave many who are pursuing their higher educations alone facing themselves with their studies and ended up either single forever or psychological mal-funcitoned!

Of course, they are fortunate ones that they have their partners by their sides to understand them and support them spiritually! But I would say, those are fewer and far between!

I, sometimes, asked myself, why I always fancy a life surrounded by books and academic study?

There was one story to this question!
When I was in high school, I had a classmate ( I studed in Catholic Girl's school.) Her parents were both professors in the same Univeristy teaching Geography! When she told me how her parents would do research together or how they've devoted in their studies. I was like, "Wow, that is the life I want!"

I really do, seriously! My parents were like many other else. Mom is a housewife, and Dad is a hard-working worker who works all his life in a rountine way!
I told myself, I ain't going to live myself like myself working on something that never gonna change. It is like a brain-dead functioning on something!

But, seeing a case like the math teacher in our school. I wonder how I would have the courage to continue my dream without a spiritual one around?

Merry Chrismas Everyone, and to ME TOO~~~

Viola~Viola~ I got myself a X'mas gift---A digital Camera!
Well....that is just an excuse to shop around! It isn't even our custom to shop at the Christmas time!!
Anyway, I took a few photos of "this-silly-me!"
It is fun to play on different functions.

Moving on to 2007

Year has arrived

without the timing comes in sight.

Thus, I decided to pack you up and

place somewhere inside (me).

No regret for the loss of the time and

neither will I feel a stupid act to cite.

I will be carrying you in my heart as

a part in my life.

(Perhaps) one day, the timing will come and

everything will be right or other way around to

continue my life in a monologizing line.

Either way would be fine!

For I've tasted the bitterness with sweet buds

called,

Artistic Kind of Sense

Yesterday afternoon, I enjoyed a brief moment in Taching Wine Factory. They owned many forsaken barns, for which they allowed artists to exibit their artworks. Some barns are for free, some charge for the better facilities.

There, I took a short tour in appreciating a famous interior designer, Verner Panton's exhibition while waiting for Nick to open up their barn. Panton is an amazing designer who is bold and audacious about colors. The way he used color impressed me a lot. I really like vivid and warm colors and that's how he used them in the geometry patterns. I don't know much about him, but I learned that he designed funuture and space. He created this remarkable room with stripes in rainbow colors, like a facility that people would put in the arcade for children to explore and have fun. I didn't really know if the room was designed for the purpose to play in. But, I did enjoy myself jumping around in the space for the curved chairs and slanted curved sofa. That was so much fun!!!

The downside was that I didn't have a camera and the friend who went with me forgot to bring hers. So.........(This made me more determined to save some money to get one camera myself!)

Then.....there he was,



Name: Nick Chong
Age: 36 years old
Star Sign: Scorpio
Chinese Year: Pig

An amateur artist specializes in acrylic paiting and digital software.

(Don't know what acrylic really is, actually! Though I was the one to translate his biography)



Mindy took this photo, Nick tried to play cool in the way he was (which he never was) and I followed along, but failed to pretend to be cool and ended up with that constrained smile in me.

The paiting at the left was Nick's favorite. I couldn't remember how he named it. But I called it "Barbie." It was totally his imagination in the lucid figuration. A blode naked woman hung up in the crucified position. A prey in Nick's almighty altar!! (I've already told him about this!)
At the right, which he had sold out 4 copies was very mysterious and hallucinating. Not my favoite, but I like the warm colors.




Amateur photographer Nick had his own peculiar sense of angle. With my nostrils showing~~??? This one piece was interesting! Two hands are holding close for an eye pupil. It was very delicate, if people could take a closer look.







**There are other artists works showing in the same barn too. However, we were there for Nick, so we only took pictures with his works to show him respect.

One of the artists who is from England, he had this strange, and yet very post-modern idea putting lips on an orb. He cut hundreds or thousands of lips from fashion magazine and stuck them on the orb. Very cool, but I couldn't understand why? Also, another orb he made, he stuck hundreds of hands, also cut from the magazines I guess.
He had this extreme characteristic that his pencil sketch was
in a balanced symmetry, but the thing he put together was with the sharpe edges and pointed tips.
I mean, don't people usually consider something round or smooth to be the element for harmonious hues?
So, anyway, his work left a great impression! I liked the sketch he draw very much!

I think, everybody has her/is own artistic sense in her/is particular way and can express her/is idea uniquely. The only thing, I was wondering was; "How do people define plagiarism in art?"
People with ideas cherish their intelletual property! Words are put down become the best evidence to prevent the plagiarism, but artwork? I've seen some well-known artists in Taiwan share the similiar senses in their artworks. Even in this United Exhibition of Nick's, some other artists' works were so eye-familiar to me.
I don't know! If people could provide their reasons, or interpreted thier works in new senses, then perhaps, no such a problem would exist.

Alas ! Attraction !!

I am sleeping with him tonight, but he doesn't know it yet!

I am so into you, but you don't know it yet! ------Ginger
