[E] Rollback


At work, I use Oracle Database - - I make some changes and if I don't like it, I just need to run the rollback command.  However, in real life, no one can just simply rollback to the time in the past.

For me, my life continues moving forward. If I had tried hard being friend with someone and the person clearly did not want to be my friend, it's O-V-E-R...especially for someone who I had tried being friend over 1+ year until I couldn't take it anymore. WE ARE DONE! WE ARE NOT FRIENDS. WHY YOU ALL THE SUDDEN WANTS THE RELATIONSHIP BACK?! I want to spend time with people who has been there for me, who actually care about me, and who always respect me as a human being.

[E] Mr. Dachshund



I was chatting with my friend who just broke up not long ago...and I am thankful that when I broke up with my ex, I had Mr. Dachshund with me...and then I thought about it more...I don't think Mr. Dachshund was really patient with me during that time period. 

I remembered that I was really busy being a full-time graduate student, an adjunct instructor, and a graduate research assistant, and I once in a while still had time to cry. Mr. Dachshund would watch me when I cried - - - pretty much there's no such a thing calls sympathy from his eyes...the messages sent out from his eyes were more like "Get done with your crying since it's time to take me on a walk" or "Again...she's crying again" or "I am just going to sit here and stare at her"...even that, I am so lucky to have him...I think his condescending attitude did shorten my grieving of the breakup.

Anyway, I love Mr. Dachshund; in a little bit over a month, we've been together for 10 years! Time for sure flies!


When I first met Mr. Dachshund, he was super skinny...not anymore :D 
He's now normal size and usually a little bit chunky in winter lol

[E] Zzzzzzzz

I feel like I haven't been sleeping well since I've got the basset hound in 2012. Not that she's barking I'm the middle of the night, but she for sure likes pacing around the house sometimes. This photo was taken in 3am.

[E] You know you're Asian when...





You know you're Asian when...
(the X mark means it's true in my life)

Your mother has a short-haired, curly perm (My mom has naturally curly hair! No need for perm)

Your dad is some sort of engineer (Does vet count as some sort of engineer?!)

Your parents still tried to get you into places half-price saying you were 12 when you were really 15 (I'm always look like 15)

You ask your parents help on one math problem and 2 hours later they're still lecturing 

You have a 40 lb. bag of rice in your pantry (Eventually the amount of rice decrease, so I actually don't have 40 lb. bag of rice :P)

You shop 99 ranch (I don't, since 99 ranch only exists in WA, CA, TX, but I shop at local Asian Market)

Everyone thinks you're "Chinese" no matter what part of Asia your ancestors were from or you are from (so far I don't have this problem...last week, one of my coworkers that I've known for months was asking me how's my family in Japan lol I have to explain I'm from Taiwan...but I do have relatives live in Japan :D)

You've had a bowl haircut at one point in your life (Mom, why did you do this to me?!)

X Your parents enjoy comparing you to their friends' kids (they always think other people's kids are better lol)

X You drive mostly Japanese cars.  (Yup...Toyota...I am thinking about getting a Subaru next time)

X You've learned to keep bargaining even if the prices are rock bottom (l've learned it, but still can't really do it)

X You've had to eat parts of animals they don't even put in hot dogs (It's yummy, what can I say?!)

X At least once, you've started a joke with "Confucius say...." 

[E|C] Tonight's Dinner


My boss was asking whether my husband likes what I cook - I was like...ugh...he has two choices, he either accepts the food or he can cook his own food...hahahahaha
ok...I was just joking (but not really lol)

One USA Unit and I both like to EAT :D and to his credit, he is willing to try many many different dishes. When we were dating, he's been trying my crazy Asian fusion dishes, and he seems enjoying most of the food. I am lucky to have a husband that's not super picky :)

Tonight's dinner - 
  • Stir-fried Marinated Tofu 
  • Stir-fried Pork
  • Stir-fried Water Spinach with Garlic

[E] Nothing Special

What happened recently?!
Theres only one thing changed - hubby got a new job!!!! Yay for him, new challenge, new environment, and new people!! Fun!!!!
I'm pretty much doing the same things - working, playing piano, and trying learn different things here and there. In the past 10 days, I got to catch up some old friends/coworkers. It's always nice to see people once in a while for some updates :-)
Weather is weird. It was 70 something one day and the next day was 30 something. I feel bad for the flowers :-S

A Month Without You

Dear Torison, It's been a month without you. I think of you a lot, especially when I do things in the kitchen. No one helps me pick up ...
