Soul Steps Out of Desire
When soul steps out of desire,
the body is empty.
Desire is going wild,
losing its grip,
and eating itself at last.
“Stay indoors!” was what I heard.
I did the same as told.
Who would know what I was thinking if I didn’t tell?
Yes! It’s the power of desire
that corrodes my body.
Plus it turns the colorful world into a monochromatic cave.
However, whatever
I’m told not to do
will be the evidence that explains
why I am anything but ordinary.
After College
October 17, 2009 – 90th B’day of my alma mater
I should have been happy that day.
However, I found myself indifferent to it.
Like you love someone and will probably gain nothing.
You love your alma mater and will probably lose something.
It’s horrible to show blind love.
I won’t, not ever.
I’m still thinking what I gotta do after college.
At this moment, my alma mater won’t help.
And nor will these temporary friends.
All is up to myself.
It’s good to make decisions of my own, all alone, though.
Mom Stands Up
Mom stands up and walks. It’s October 12, 2009. Factually she could yesterday.
[September 24] Admission
[September 28] Operation (7:30 – 13:30)
[September 28 14:00 - September 29 14:00] ICU
[October 11] Mom stands up and walks
Thanks to all my friends and co-workers who have ever blessed her and visited her.
I’m happy at what I have seen, too, though there’ll be a lot to do in the next few months.
Mom isn’t suffering, and will never be.
* I didn’t take the camera with me to the ward but I used my cell phone camera. It’s once in a blue moon. She didn’t even forget to treat me to an orange when standing on crutches.

Happy 60th Birthday to PRC
Flags are everywhere.
His voice cracked, but won a round of applause.
Are you happy now?
I stayed behind for 10 plus minutes, no one lending a hand.
I stuffed some money in the can; he thanked me before I left.
Happy 60th birthday to PRC.
Sorry but I see flags again.
When you celebrate, remember there are still some who can’t.
When you eat and drink, remember there are still a lot who can’t.
When you dress yourself in fashion, remember there are still more who can’t.
But who else would care?
Only help helps, not only the poor but yourself.
So why not have a try?
Don’t pretend to be cool when you leave your shit beside the poor.
You are damn retarded.
