One of my friends asked me about what 人生不如意十常八九 should be in English, I replied, shit (always) happens.

English phrase - more than you can shake a stick at

The modern use of the phrase always exists as part of the extended and fixed phrase "more than you can shake a stick at", meaning an abundance, plenty.

What's zip ties, see the pic below.

Events that challenge our attention. Here challenge = call for.

Silly or wise, terrible or delightful, it is a further helping of experience, an additional joy after dark, another slice of life cut differently for which, it seems to me, we are never sufficiently grateful.

192.168.1.1 is the way to set router. Learned it today from one of Zoe's elder roommates.

Road to Matureness

We sorted out all the messes in a single night. In my last day as a 26, my sky was encroached by pitch darkness; my mind was covered by complete sadness. We were in a fearful storm characterized by grief, dismay and remorse.

It was bitter, but we managed to ride out the storm and came out more united and trusted.

Our binding was consolidated, in an unprecedented scenario that beyond our wildest expectation. But fortunately, the premarital disaster didn't overturn our relationship thanks to two sincere hearts towards each other.

I don't mind whether it's a bumpy road ahead, as long as I will be down the road along with my darling Zoe.

Revive My Writing Hands

My darling Zoe is a wordsmith on Chinese words, though she reiterated on various occasions that her prowess in Chinese was knowingly overrated and flattered by me.

In stark contrast, I was a wordmonger who used Chinese pretentiously and carelessly, and no wonder I was dwafted whenever we were engaged in activities involving Chinese.

However, to make things worst, I've recently noticed that my English supremacy was starting to lose stream. This finding appalled me to half death as I realized my holy grail would soon go into thin air, if the situation keeps worsening.

At this remarkable point when I would soon turn 27, I'd like to make yet another resolution - to revive my writing passion that withered day by day in an inconspicuous way.

I will hold my battleground, at all costs.

cross myself.

What Is Life

Far from my darling, I miss her so much with every minute ticking away. I think now I'm in what they called "menstrual flow," but instead of being uneasy, I feel kinda depressed. I know clearly that my depression came mainly from a sense of self-criticism.

I criticized myself for not living up to some promises.

I criticized myself for not keeping some resolutions up.

I criticized myself for not being truly a man, even at the age of 27.

I criticized myself for not having a cozy home to house my darling.

I criticized myself for not working hard enough to study, especially the math

I criticized myself for induging in some meaningless web games, like Kaixin001.com.

I criticized myself for not being able to recognize the threat ahead.

I criticized myself for not addressing some issues in proper ways.

I criticized myself for knowing only ways to complain but not ways to solve.

I criticized myself.

I confessed.

I repented.

But

I've stopped complaining, criticizing and repenting, once and for all.

With my darling deep in my heart, I'm now a man fearing nothing.

Take a deep breath.

And say,

I come, I conquer.
