| 2.26.2001 (Mon) Talk to my friend this afternoon, he said I will probably get a "yes man" as my husband since my dad is a "yes man". Well..I dunno.. Actually, I don't even know what exactly I want to have. But I'm so sure that I don't want a "yes man". I want my husband listen to me sometimes, but not always say yes. I need someone who can talk to me when I am happy or depressed, weak or even angry. I need someone to share the most important moments* with me. I need someone who will give me supports and advices, I need someone who will conclude my points or ideas and clear up my mind. ( I am quite stupid and slow-minded sometimes) ... I don't want to be an invisible woman.. sometimes I know I don't have any good suggestions, though I want to be involved. I'm only human... I'm not always right...maybe I have so many ideas or plans that sound really good... but it has no mean to just give me a "yes". I need "you" to discuss with me..I need "you" to plan with me. Since "you" are already part of my life... so don't just give me a "yes". Marriage, for me, is like a game of giving and receiving. It has to be a 2-way road... not a 1-way. * Important moments such as .....hmm.. When I get my degree...( probably I won't get marry that early) ok....when I am pregnant, when I give born to my baby, (If my husband brings me to the Sistine Chapel and see the "creation of man"... I will hug and kiss him...I consider this is one of the most important moments) ..When I eventually and hopefully open my restaurant, and perhaps one day when I have a serious disease and lying on the bed waiting for the last moment. That's what I am pretty much looking forward to... OOO not the disease one.. I mean I look forward to have not a b/f but a husband to share those important moments with me. 2.27.2001 (Tue) To: All my friends..... :) From: Helen Date: 2.27.2001 Subject: I like you! OK.. I am the sticky rice, I am the Octopus, I am the Honey if you are the bean!! so? I like you! My friends like me just because I am the hot Sticky rice, cute Octopus, and the sweet Honey. You know...... I feel so good to eventually realize that.... :D ..... I like you, I know I like you, You may not know but I know I like you ..... :D ... Everything seems so perfect now. 2.28.2001 (Wed) I am so envy that people have a nickname. I mean an abbreviation?? of your own name. Such as: Benjamin ----> Ben Julia ---> Juli Alexander ---> Alex Patricia ---> Pat Christopher ---> Chris Kimmy ---> Kim Michael ---> Mike Veronica ---> Ron...etc...etc I do have a nickname, in fact, I have a lot of nicknames...but none of them I like.... E.g. Rosanne calls me "8 por". It's Chinese, and it means bitch... :P .....I call her "48 por", it's even worst than "8por"... anyway.. we were just kidding. I do want an abbreviation of my name.......ok. Benjamin ---> Ben ... Then Helen ---> Hel?? ..lol...what the hel .... lol oh forget it... Helen is not my original name... My original name was Vivian. I remember when I studied at high school. We got 3 "Vivian" in our class. The teacher didn't want to call us Vivian a, b, c, or Vivian 1, 2, 3. So the teacher gave me an English names' book and asked me to choose another English name. So I read that book and tried to find a "perfect and cute" name. Unfortunately, I didn't know how to pronounce all of the names, but "Helen". So I chose it. Though, I like my name.. I mean I like "Helen". I am used to this name....My classmate, Olena, told me that Helen means beautiful...lol hopefully I didn't uglify the name....lol ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Reporter1, Reporter2, Me. This is CBC Radio News from Vancouver. Good afternnon, I'm Allison Brottle. A powerful earthquake hit Seattle this morning at 10:55. In most of the BC's area, people felt the earthquake. Brian Dance reports: A powerful earthquake hit Olympia, Seattle this morning. No demages were reported yet in the BC's area, but there were 298 people called E.comm after the earthquake. "Miss, did you feel the earthquake this morning?" "Yes, I did. But it wasn't very serious. It's just like a vibration for 5 or 6 seconds.. and...." "Did you call the E.comm service after the earthquake?" "Ammm....no...actually..I ....I didn't know it was an earthquake. I was in the clinic during the earthquake, and I thought it was a big truck passed by and made the vibration......but then..." "So how did you know it was actually an earthquake?" "Yeesss...., then the nurse came out and told us it was an earthquake................" "Thank you very much. Brain Dance, CBC News, Downtown." The lastest report of the earthquake, it was an 6.8 Magnitude earthquake. 1 fatality and 250 injuries in Seattle. I'm Allison Brottle and you're listening to CBC Radio. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* So this is the first time I feel an earthquake. It's not very scary or exciting since I really didn't know it was an earthquake. I told you I'm not a sharp person. Well...I heard of that for so long, but I haven't been in this situation before. People always say when you are in a dangerous or deathly situation..like earthquake or plane accident, you will think of the one you are really love and care......I asked myself a stupid question this afternoon. " Who was the "person" in my mind during the earthquake?" well....to be honest...no one was in my mind, I was reading magazine and was thinking about the school work..did I finish all my homework yet? I got to renew my reference book tomorrow... something like that ... lol .. anyway. It is a good experience.. I mean at least now I know what is earthquake and how does it feel like.... so next time I will know how to protect myself. I will say a little pray for all the people in Seattle, It may not help them a lot, but .............better than nothing.....this is the only thing I can do for them ...I suppose...
