    Over the Hill

    flatfish 2017-05-22 17:57
    Once upon a time, there was a 13-year-old girl who was frustrated with her life. She wanted to wear makeup,   have great hair, and wear beautiful high heels like the women on the cover of the magazines. She hated her  parents for nagging her all the time. She wanted to get rid off th
  • Many things in our lives are seasonal: snow, lilies, cherries, popsicles, shortie-shorts, etc. Nowadays, however, things have changed. We can eat rice dumplings or ice creams whenever we feel like it instead of only on the  Lantern Festival or in winter. Thanks to the heating and AC, I can wea

    My friend Oli was just complaining to me about how busy he will be today right after returning from a  vacation to Chongqing during the Labor Day. Apparently, he arrived home during the wee hours in the  morning yet still has to go to work today.   I am sure he enjoys his job

    Last night, Sharapova was ousted by the surging yet volatile Meladenovic, upsetting plenty of fans. A friend  said that it might be a good thing for Maria to lose, so that some difficult MS fans cannot be that cocky.  To be honest, I do not care for the petty verbal brawls among the so ca

    In the Chinese language, there is a phrase called 可遇而不可求,  which can be loosely translated as something  or someone that can only happen by chance, like a rainbow, a unicorn, or the jackpot.  If you think about it,   the phrase refers to all the things that are wonder

    There is a scar on both of my hands. The one on the right hand is shaped like  a  small caterpillar; the one on the left looks like a cresent. Every time I look at the scars, I am immediately brought back to my teenage years  when I used to fight with a very tomboy-type girl who

    Lately, I have been watching a new sitcom, One Day at a Time , produced by Netflix.  It is a show about a family of immigrants from Cuba. In one episode, the daughter  came out to her mother. Before doing it, she was quited nervous because her mother  used to be in the army and c
