I am in Osaka but no time for Sakura！ I broken up few month ago. I feel so bad and stoped coming italki. I accepted abroad work, so I am working in Osaka new office. I am alone in the new office, everything is on my own. Fortunately the busy time makes me forgot the sadness. Now is the most beautifull season in Japan, but unfortuantely I am too busy to enjoy the flowers. I also want to go to watch the 3D TITANIC very much! I have to make it! Even though going to watch this movie alone by a big box of tissues seems a kind of pity....

Some Funny Things About Chinese Given Names You always chose a given name, like Jone, Michael, Jack, Lisa etc. But we Chinese create a given name by single Chinnes word. For example, you can chose a word "智zhi" witch means cleaver and a word “勇yong” witch means brave to create a Chinese given name “智勇zhiyong”. Because Chinese is a kind of hieroglyph, a good Chinese name should be not only good sound and good meaning but also good looking. I think creating a Chinese name is a kind of art. But the family names are not able to be created, so many people who have a strange family name baffled as how to created a good name for their kid. You always can see a post on BBS witch is a new father asking for help abou this. Like "Who can help me to create a good name for my daughter，my family name is Cao操" （Cao sunds like Chinese "F**k"） or *******my family name is Shi史" (witch sounds like death) I have a customer, his company name sounds very strong: God Dragon Tools... His own name is Yang Wei witch sounds like impotence in Chinese. I think he is very upset at his own name so he gave his company such a strong name. One of my friends said that he would like change his parents if they done something like to me...

I Review <TITANIC> Once A Year <TITANIC> is my favourite movie. When it was on show, I was in primary school. I still remember that school organized us to watched the movie. Several classes students walked to cinema in a long line for the greates movie of 20th century. That's pretty grand. Of couse the nudity part was cut in China version. I didn't watch the movie carefully the first time since everytime the school organized watching movie we never focused, just played ourselves like we are the tigers witch run out from the zoo. I fallen love with this movie was 5 years later when I reviewed it on my computer. It's still my favourite movie till now and I review it once a year. My favourite parts are 1, When Rose jumped back to Titanic from the lifeboat then hugged Jack on the Titanic again said "You jump I jump". This is promise between two people who love each other, never leave the other alone. 2, At the last in Rose's mind jack didn't die, he was standing on the step of the dinner hall and offering his hand to Rose, then they hand in hand together. This is the biggest dream of Rose I think. I think this is also many girls' dream, hand in hand forever with their lover. Is there anyone loves this movie so much as I do？

Why Men Always More Successful Than Women? I think I was a feminist. I was trying to approve that what men can do well I can do that too. The more I grow up the more I doubt it. Now I think equality of men and women is impossible since we got different foundations. What I should do is not find the way how to be the same success as a man but how to be success as a woman. But still I wondering that why men always more successful than women. For example, more women in charge of cook job at home, but successful cooker always men. Even in Italki, I found that the Top 5 of the correctors all men. Why? What a interesting question. If it's because women are lazier? Like me, I can sleep whole day if I have nothing to do at the weekend, and it's not rare in my female friends, but never happend in my male firends.

Anyone Here In International Relationship With Chinese People? I heard a special song today, because it's the first dialogue song witch is singing in English and Chinese. "Jet Lag"--Simple Plan & Kelly Cha. It's a story of an international couple. The jet lag made them feel crazy, not only in their bodies but also in their hearts. Are you missing eatch other in different time zone just like the song？ Specially in holiday season like now. I guess someone in Italki are going through this. It must be difficult. But no pain no gain, I think the more difficult you got the more you will treasure it. I wish you all will have happy ending just fighting with the jet lag!
