thankful for 2009

“I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all year.”
- Charles Dickens

sheepish

i often find myself reading magazines from back to front
this may have something to do with 12 years of chinese schooling
i don't speak or read the language, but at least i still know how to read that way

thankful i can read inside a mobile vehicle now

so

short stories or films or animation
make one feel exhilaration and dejection
but only to end as soon as they begun
oft without resolution

can't get enough of them

mad about madness

i grew up in a small town
where technology took some time to reach
maybe that explains why after having adapted to sydney's cold winds
i still can't stand cold air from air-conditioners

thankful for long train rides, despite
make me savor the book i am reading
thankful even more, for not missing my stops

kokoro

i enjoy listening to young artists perform.
today, i watched satsuki and tim performed at chatswood mall.
al fresco music is a delight to bask in.
thankful i have time to stop and listen
on my 2 feet, leaning on a post

it's the 3rd already

changed bed sheets
laundered winter jackets
kept winter boots
made chicken meatballs
a packed domestic day
