I LOVE MY LIFE!!

Wait and See...

Maggie_Guo — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 05:45:03 GMT

Wait and See...

I feel very depressed and lost, for my business recently has been falling down.

I don't know whether it has something to do with the financial crisis nowadays. This is awful.

And it's much worse than awful that I have nothing to do except wait and see.

Anyway, good luck for me!!

The Pig

The Pig

It was an evening in November,
As I very well remember,

I was strolling down the street in drunken pride,
But my knees were all aflutter,
And I landed in the gutter
And a pig came up and lay down by my side.

Yes, I lay there in the gutter
Thinking thoughts I could not utter,
When a colleen passing by did softly say,
"You can tell a man who boozes
By the company he chooses."
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

I'm sorry, but I love you!

I'm sorry, but I love you!

Yesterday I hurt someone that's a nice guy. I feel extremely depressing and ashamed, but no regretful. Since the hurt will certainly be coming sooner or later, I'd rather to face it as early as possible.

What I've done is right, also good for both of us. But why do I feel so lost and big headache? Am I suffering from it as much as he is now?

"All of it is not important any more" I said to myself," It is important that I have made my decision, and I deserve all of the pain caused by it." I'll be okay, although he is so hard to get over.

Now I only hope that everything will be fine for him,also he can forgive and forget about me. I get down on my knees and beg...

I'm sorry, but I love you.

I love you, so I leave you.

Understand?

Hello, 2008!

Maggie_Guo — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 13:21:09 GMT

Hello, 2008!

1. Good for my new-built business, I'm gonna work hard for it!!

2. Two long-distance travels. Will go to Thailand on the 11th of this month.

3.Keep practicing to keep my shape. Run and swim once in a week!

My misery will be over soon!

Maggie_Guo — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 01:31:23 GMT

My misery will be over soon!

Oct. 1st is the National Day of China, and I'm on the holiday till Oct. 7th to have a break from my work.

Just as I said in the last diary I've been quite busy this last couple of months,even little time for my blog here.

Fortunately, my boss told me the other day that he just hired a man as my assistant who's gonna come up from like Oct. 10th.

Thanks God, my misery is gonna over soon. Then I'd be able to have some more time available to do something of myself, like my business and my friends at Ebaby.

I'm quite busy recently

Maggie_Guo — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 10:09:07 GMT

I'm quite busy recently

No updated recently, because I've been really tied up by my work.

But please remember I'd be right back once I'm free of time.

Missing you, my dearest friends!

My chance is coming!

Maggie_Guo — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 09:03:29 GMT

My chance is coming!

Hi readers, let me talk about my current work. There are totally 8 employees in my department. But now 3 of them are quitting. So work among the rest of us is gonna have to be redistributed.

As for me, probably I could be a salesperson who's in charge of developing the business, because the unique salesperson of us is leaving for another city.

So I suppose this would be a kind of opportunity for my future career. As a salesperson, you know, many quality is necessary like communication, some expertise and patience and so on. Most importantly, it would be possible for me to meet many clients. Above all, accordingly, would help me when my own company is built.

Ha, good luck for myself, I'm gonna be an excellent salesperson, then an excellent boss!

It's too hot in China

Maggie_Guo — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 08:43:47 GMT

It's too hot in China

Now it's summer in China, and it's unbelievably hot, nearly 37 centigrade, in my city. Beijing, a city I’ve lived for almost 6 years, is the capital of China with too many people.
I have to line up to wait for my turn whatever I want to do. Maybe when I’m growing older, it would be a good choice to move into a small and silent village where dogs and chicken could be raised.

About Tibetan people

Maggie_Guo — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 06:47:48 GMT

About Tibetan people

When I was in Yunnan, a province in China, I have met many Tibetan people who are with strong body and healthy skin.

When they were dancing in the bar in their traditional suits, all I wanna say was just " Oh, man!" They are so different with us, making me believe that they are not the same species with me although we are in the same country.

That is what travelling for, going to many places and meeting various people. Cool

Love is FOREVER!

Maggie_Guo — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 02:13:27 GMT

Love is FOREVER!

The other day I saw a TV show that an old man, about more than seventy years old, was asked to say something to his wife who had married him for like fifty year. He’s holding her hand saying to her “ Please believe me that I will love you for my whole life.”

Right then I was welling up and almost touched to cry. If a man who’s run out the most of his life would still be willing to say that to you, like the time when he proposed to you, you could tell him “ I marry you without any regret”

Oh God, I don’t know how to express my feeling for this, like all of the words and sentences are worthless and unnecessary in front of such a great love.

At that time, in a word, I understood that love is forever and you’d be willing to do anything for your lover just because of love.

I'm gonna move into a new apartment!

Maggie_Guo — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 07:03:33 GMT

I'm gonna move into a new apartment!

This weekend I'm gonna move into a new apartment. It's so excited!

I'm having my own home where I can cook my favorite dishes, watch the movie then be touched to tears, ask for my friends to have a party, and bla bla bla.... Do whatever I want. It's my territory controlled by myself!

My Career

Maggie_Guo — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 05:05:33 GMT

My Career

A few years ago, I graduated from university and worked in a government office. I felt boring and tedious, although it was such a stable and well-paid work. Right then all I wanted was just to do something related to my major, you know, international trade. I’m really really a stubborn guy.

Then as I wished, I left it for a very small trading company. Actually during that time, I’ve transferred like three companies making me have a quite tough time. I asked myself like one-million times “Is this what I wanted? Are you happy now?”

At last I arrived at current company which is stable and large. Now I could do the daily work well even without any attention.

Recently I’m considering to build a trading company by myself, although I’ve no idea how to make money. Anyway if I could really be the boss of myself, then that’s when I could answer that question “Yes, of course this is all I wanted, and I’m very happy right now!”

Tomorrow would be Dragon Boat Festival in China!

Maggie_Guo — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 07:08:26 GMT

Tomorrow would be Dragon Boat Festival in China!

It's the traditional Dragon Boat Festival in May 5th every year according to Chinese calendar, and it would be the next day in this year.

It’s said that the festival has begun from like more than two thousands of years before when a famous poet, named Yuan Qu, who rather jump into a river to die than see his motherland to be invaded.

To memorize this patriotic poet, every year people put some food, mainly rice dumpling (a typical Chinese food), to river in the day of he suicided when is May 5th according to Chinese calendar. And also people would have a match of dragon boat as another memory form.

It’s my pleasure to introduce a delicious food, rice dumpling, to all of you. It’s made of rice and some other ingredient, like Chinese dates, beans, or meat and something like that. It tastes a little sweet and sticky, like a kind of dessert. I promise it's great and special.

Girl, you'll be a woman soon.

Maggie_Guo — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 05:15:25 GMT

Girl, you'll be a woman soon.

It's one of my favorite songs.

I love you so much, can't count all the ways
I'd die for you girl, and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"
They never get tired of puttin' me down
And I never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man

I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're sayin', girl, just cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"
Well, I finally found what I've been looking for
But if they get the chance, they'll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby, I've done all I could
Now it's up to you
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, but soon you'll need a man

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand

I love talk to him just because of his charming voice

Maggie_Guo — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 08:55:33 GMT

I love talk to him just because of his charming voice

Just now I received a call from A. He's one of my clients. It's a very brief call which has nothing to do with working, just saying hi.

Sometimes I've no idea what to say when he calls me besides work stuff, although I love to talk to him.

With all my heart, he's not my type. So I guess it's mystery resulting from distance between us and his voice, which sounds like a real man, that make me love to talk to him.

Happy weekend!!

Happy weekend!!

Today is Friday, so happy weekend to everyone visiting my blog!

Something I figured out last night

Maggie_Guo — Thu, 07 Jun 2007 02:51:19 GMT

Something I figured out last night

A few weeks ago I was waiting for two guys’ response. Checking the email box was my first thing to do in the every early morning. However I was disappointed to find nothing inside.

Then I made myself forget it little by little. Email box wasn’t checked for some days. I didn’t look forward to receiving any response any more. But yesterday, one guy sent me an email and the other gave me a call at night. I’m happy at this.

So something I figured out is, if you want to grab something too much, you can’t have it. On the contrary, when you stop focusing on it, transferring your attention to something else, you’d find, surprisingly, that something you want has come to you. That’s when you know it belongs to you after all.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, please relax whatever you want to do, just be yourself. You are supposed to get what you should get. Am I right?

The Secret of True Happiness--Digest

Maggie_Guo — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 09:56:55 GMT

The Secret of True Happiness--Digest

Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.

Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.

The way people cling to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equals happiness actually diminishes their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.

As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civic or charitable work, self-improvement.

Couples who choose not have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want, travel wherever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three-day vacation. I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.

But couples who decide not to have children never experience the pleasure of hugging them or tucking them into bed at night. They never know the joys of watching a child grow up of playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

The moment we understand that fun does not bring happiness, we begin to lead our lives differently. The effect can be, quite literally, life-transforming.

Decorating the apartment is really a hard work!

Maggie_Guo — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 06:15:16 GMT

Decorating the apartment is really a hard work!

Rencently I've been busy at decorating my new apartment. From April of this year, every weekend was devoted to this work which made me more tired than during workday.

Fortunately, now the work is closing to the end. And I'm supposed to move into it in the middle of July. I'm so happy for this.

Recommend a beautiful place in China

Recommend a beautiful place in China

I've been to a beautiful place, Dali, which is a small and silent town in Yunnan Province of China. Actually there are many foreigners love it and live there.

It's a place where you can just stay, without anything in your mind, to enjoy the clouds and mountains around you all the time. Right then you are indeed stay with yourself and no others.

What a pity I don't know how to insert a image, or I'll share those amazing pictures with you guys.
