a lifetime of secrets

i'm reading "A LIFETIME OF SECRETS" now.. borrowed it from the school library. It's a really nice book that i strongly recommend. it's made up of many postcards that people have sent in about their secrets. Some made me laugh, others made me want to cry. All in all it tugs at your heartstrings (is there such a phrase?) and makes you think about what life really is...
i'd love to quote all of them but that's impossible, so go read the book yourself!!!

• "I am almost 40. I have average hair, an average body and average looks. As a result, I am invisible. No one ever notice me. Everytime I go shopping, I steal something. (...) I just pick what I want, put it in my pocket and walk on. Because I am invisible, no one sees me or what I take. I live in fear that I will be caught. And that I won't."
• "I eat spicy foods so that it will hurt on the way back up."
• "I write home telling everyone what a great time I'm having... Secretly I've never felt so ALONE in my life."
• "i am afraid to meet people from the internet in person because i photoshop my pics and think they will be disappointed."
• "I am terrified of becoming the Crazy Old Cat Lady. I'm 22 years old, I've never had a real boyfriend, and I have 3 cats. I don't think my fears are unfounded."
• "I haven't believed in God since you told me you were divorcing dad."
• "You tried to find the key to my heart. I was scared, so I left you for someone who I knew would never look for it. I guess it will stay locked up forever."
• I only allow myself to read your letters once a year (9/17). Then, I let myself fantasize how my life would be different if you were still around. Sometimes I find myself hating you because it’s easier than missing you.
• I wanted to be a spy. I try not to tell many people this. I would hate to go to my 25th reunion and have to introduce myself as an accountant and have my former classmates ask, “What happened to you wanting to be a spy?” And I’d have to just smile and nod. And then leave early to go on a dangerous mission to save their lives from a threat they never knew existed.
• I’m eighteen and I’m catching myself living in the past.
• Sometimes I sit alone in the cafeteria… I have conversations with myself on the phone so people don’t think I have no friends.
• Someday, I want to go for a walk, and come home years later, having found myself.
• I still can’t believe you died. So I pretend you are away on a very long vacation having the best time ever.
  
• I wonder if my dad ever thinks “I’m home” when he pulls in the driveway to get me, here at my mom’s.
  
• I save every card, note, letter, picture, drawing, and email my friends send me so that when I am old and alone I will remember how much I was loved.
  
• I didn’t really have a “work emergency”. I just didn’t want to face our old classmates at your wedding.
  
• I wish I could interview your ex-wife and find out why she left. And see if they are the same reasons why I have considered leaving…
  
• I’m glad he isn’t alive to see me as a lesbian. I’m not ashamed… but HE would be.
  
• I lost all my friends because I spent too much time at work. Now I spend too much time at work because I lost all my friends.
  
• I’ve given up hope that my shrink will ever find the right dosage or combination of meds.
  
• My hairdresser of 6 years has no idea I’ve been divorced for almost a year. We still talk like I’m happily married!
  
• I aborted the baby you never knew about. Sometimes I want to tell you. But I doubt you would care.
  
• My biggest fear is not death, but of by chance running into the family of the boy whose heart beats inside my body.
  
• On 10/28/1977 I had open heart surgery at 11 months old. When I am depressed and think I want to die, I think of the doctors that worked to save my life. Thank you for the gift of life, so many times over.
  
• I don’t take my medication… Because it makes my illness real
  
• Retirement: The great thing about getting out of bed…you get to go back in.

I've also scanned some of the pictures..but won't post them here..i hate uploading pictures on blogger it's kind of complicated so i'm posting the link here:

The Jet Age

Villagers have been lining the road to Sanjiang, awaiting the convoy's arrival, and now they slip and surge down muddy paths in the hope of getting closer to its head. A vehicle door finally swings open and Donatella Versace — of all people — shyly emerges from her sanctum of tinted windows and tobacco smoke. Standing in blonde tresses and heels, she is a fabulously incongruous sight here in the mountains. But the good villagers of Sichuan have no idea who she is. They are here, instead, to see her companion for the day — Li Lianjie, otherwise known as Jet Li. And when he appears before them, a great roar erupts.

Established in April 2007, the One Foundation is Li's contribution toward that balance, and for its sake he has taken time out from films, becoming a full-time relief worker and traveling tirelessly on foundation business... It is difficult to name any other A-list celebrity, not even Bono, who has made such a total commitment. There are plenty who touch down in Africa between albums or movies, but none has actually walked off the job as Li has done, at the top of his game.

At the age of 11, he was part of a troupe sent on a goodwill tour of America and performed in front of U.S. President Richard Nixon, who jokingly asked the young fighter to become his bodyguard. Li's precocious reply — "I don't want to protect an individual; I want to defend my 1 billion Chinese countrymen!" — was regarded as a great propaganda coup by Chinese apparatchiks, whose darling he became... You can see those sorts of sentiments running through Li's film corpus. In Bruce Lee's action movies, the Eurasian outsider fought for no greater cause than himself (the sole exception is 1972's Fist of Fury, in which he battled the cocksure Japanese). Jackie Chan made the action-comedy subgenre his own, reducing martial arts to a form of slapstick. Li, however, has most often played the sober upholder of national pride.

示情

心有所系，魂也有所牵，寂寞染不上我心田。

回忆说著万语千言，未来原是碧海蓝天。

苦涩酸甜都化做缠绵，悠悠盘旋成寓言。

你的呼吸，你的眉眼，裹住我的冰心一片。

我的祝福你会了解，你是我最想还的愿。

月有盈有缺而爱自成圆，终有一天再相见。

我的依恋你该了解，灵犀相同心相连。

千山万水如千丝万线，一张相思网，织得好密延。

思念

想要写封信给你，点点滴滴，
沿著回忆，凭著感觉执笔。
总是闭上了眼睛，思念却漫溢，
不著边际的想你。

恨不能，一辈子贴在你怀里，
穿梭时空也如一。
你亲吻了我，绵绵的呼吸，
连空气都充满欢喜。

好想为你唱首歌，熟悉的旋律，
将思念慢慢累积。
