It is unbelievable that people are indeed crazy of rushing out shopping on the Black Friday. Last night when I was in the party, at
I was in awe. I’ve never known that the Black Friday can be that crazy.
When I wake up, I turn my TV to CNBC. The picture of all shoppers rushing inside Wal-Mart is scary. A lot of people fell on the floor. A lot of people are stepping on each other. One injures her back. One loses her wig. In
I have never tried to shopping on the Black Friday. I remembered when I was still in
I am not sure if it’s really cheap. Or it’s just the tradition that people have to rush out and grab everything they can. I don’t think it is worth of those pisses that might occur during the rush hours. I think there are many ways nowadays to find a good deal buy.
Sometimes we might get something we do not even need it because we think it’s cheap.

Thanksgiving is the time for us to be thankful for everything in our life.
It’s the time to pause and appreciate for what we have.
There are a lot of things we always take for granted. We do not value when we have it because we always chase the next best thing that is vanishing at the horizon.
Sometimes when we are in the eyes of the storm, we forget about the beauty of life. We walk down this winding road without admiring the flowers on the sidewalk. Sometimes we are so caught up with the bumping road and forget that every obstacle is a challenge to drive us grows.
Sometimes we forget to be thankful because we always pity ourselves as the unluckiest person on earth. However, if we look outside our own self-pity, we will see the reality of other unfortunate people who are much worse than us. We should be thankful for what we have or situation we are in.
Thanksgiving is also the time to show our appreciation in life by sharing our fortune to other people around us from our family and friends to the society. It’s time to help people who do not have a chance to have food on the table to celebrate this holiday. There are several things we can do. We can donate money to the charity that helps feeding the poor or homeless. We can join our community to help the seniors who live by themselves.
There are a lot of things to be thankful and there are many things that we can show our thankfulness in our life.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
It has been 5 days that I have been traumatized by the nuisances that someone who I do not even know cause me. I do not understand why this person put a great and concerted effort to hurt my reputation. I try to think if I have offended anyone, but I cannot think of.
The only thing I did was to report someone using my pictures in his profile twice a month ago.
A lot of friends have sent me the emails and asked me for what happened. Some people who I have not talked for a while message me. Some friends keep mum until I ask them.
My faked profile and nasty pictures are all over the internet and websites right now. Most of them are sent directly to my friends from my online profile.
I was angry and frustrated at first but now I totally let it go.
In my life, I always treat people with respect and am very careful not to hurt anyone’s feeling. When this incident first happened, I was discouraged. It gives rise to a doubt in my head if my respect to other people is worth a price I am paying.
How can this incident happen to me?
However, since that incident happens, it has made me realize that in fact those good things I have done to other people do not go anywhere but it manifests itself by having all good friends around me.
I have received a lot of sincere encouragement from people around me. It really helps pulling myself back together.
This incident and what that person has done is not significant. The most important thing is I know everyone around me uniting behind me. I believe there are reasons behind every incident in my life. So is this one. I have to look deep inside it and harvest whatever I can.
I am not seeking revenge or wishing him an ill consequence. I do believe the matter and energy will never disappear from this universe. His evil spirit, one day, will go right back to him. I might be swayed by those storms he makes but I am standing firmly with all my friends who are standing behind me.
His mean intention fails. His action does not even scratch our friendship because no one is judgmental.
He has hit the wall. The only thing that is hurt is his fist. One day, he will realize what he has done to other people when something unpleasant happen to him.
His ill action is a cause of his own future suffering. I wish he has a great life and I hope one day he will grow up and become a better person.

It’s the 11th year anniversary for her first album – Jagged Little Pill. If you remember, Alanis was huge back then. Her image was like a rebellious girl. Her music was great and her music VDO was amazing- if you remember- You’ll Learn and Ironic.
It’s been 11 years but her music still rides along with time and trend. Yeah it’s been 11 year, now I feel like an old man.
Her concert is held at the Roseland Theater in the Mid Town. It is a cold night. The line for the concert wraps around the block but my friend and I are so excited to see her concert. It takes us around 30 minutes to get into the theater and another 30 minutes for her to start the concert.
She still has her hardcore fans like us. The Roseland Theater is packed.
Her voice is very unique and it’s not different from the CD at all. However, I think her dress is a little bit off the concert and her music. I mean her dress should be a little bit more casual than her red girly shirt. I tell my friend that within 10 years Alanis has grown up from a wild girl to a gentler woman. Or maybe she gets the hottest boyfriend right now so she has to be more like a sweet woman than a rebellious girl.
Most of the songs she sings are from the first album. I stand right close to the stage so I can see every move of her performance. She is great. Everyone on the stage seems to enjoy the performance. We sing and jump along the music particularly when my favorite song- You’ll Learn starts.
The energy in the concert is amazing.
I am so happy to have a chance to see her concert finally. Thanks to my friend Oates.
But I wish she sang – That I would be good. I really love this song. In particular, when I am in the middle of the storm like right now, it just reminds me that I would be good no matter what happen.
The version I am playing here is an acoustic one. It is so beautiful.
