I love getting my nails done. It’s not about showing off or pleasing others, but about making myself feel great.

However, I don’t like to do all my nails. My preferred choice is getting only the two index fingers done. As you can imagine, I wasn’t the most popular customer at the nail salon.

Recently, I found a better way to decorate my nails. 继续阅读“Press-on Nails”

I brought a branch of a peach tree home from the hiking trail two weeks ago.

The farmer pruned it from a tree and tossed it on the ridge. I guess he was trying to help the tree maintain more energy for the flowers that would grow into peaches.

Anyway, the peach branch is growing some leaves and has a bud this morning.

I’m so happy that there’s a branch of spring at my apartment now.

There’s a saying that you should avoid saying you’re not busy in the working world. By the way, how can I express this in English? A myth? A superstition?

Anyway, it might be true.

Last week, I told you guys that I was not as busy as last year. This week, however, a new project has taken up almost all my free time. As of now, I have completed the first phase of preparation and can finally take a break.

If everything goes as expected, I should be able to continue helping people and being helped here every day. I’ll try my best, even if this new project took more time than I expected. 继续阅读“A Myth or Something”

如果没有规则，我们很快就会成为自己情绪的奴隶，而这种情况是毫无自由可言的。

当不受约束地用未经训练的本能做判断时，我们不仅会缺乏追求还会崇拜那些不值得我们崇拜的品质。

培养区分善恶的能力是获取智慧的第一步。

矛盾：我需要为矛盾负哪些责任？我做错了什么？现在我如何才能让事情变好一点？

当下已知并非绝对的真理。

Last Sunday, I had a terrible experience when my iPhone’s battery malfunctioned while I was hiking. So, I decided to carry a spare phone with me on future hikes. It had to be as small and light as possible. So I picked my iPhone 6s from among my old phones.

As I prepared this spare phone, I found some pictures and videos from a hike I had gone on almost eight years ago.

It was on one of the easternmost islands of mainland China, about 338 kilometers away from Shanghai. I remember I got really seasick on the boat and the weather was not very good.

But the view and the color of the sea were so beautiful. I think it could be in my top 2 favorite sea views in China. The other one is in Lingshui, Hainan, by the way.

I edited a short video with these pictures and videos last night. You can watch it here.

Maybe you will enjoy the views too.
