The great Holiday


stay long........






So different from Taipei living,
In Yilan,
Everything is great.
^^

This holiday,
Stayed at the coffee shop all day-
Writing,
Thinking,
Drinking,
Nothing......
Just ~"being".



So much people came and went all the time,
They moved on my face,
talked,laughed,walked,
I did not so care about them-
ME IS ME.

Thanks for the lovely beach life,
I could stay at the beach all day long,
don't need to come and go so hurry.

One day,is ONE.
Good enough,right?

What's the focus of your life?
make money?
keep healthy?
kids?
family?
parents?
lover(a relationship)?


In my oppinion,
Wherever you forcus on,
You need to find one.


Find it,
interest at it,
love it,
move on it,
and
you will find the way to go for,
and feel joy some day.



Take care

In 2011,
Lots of things are so different-
Moved to the beach,

The most important thing is,

Not sure the new way is the perfect way to go,

SUNSHINE HOUSE

Moved to the beach,
is a hug change for me.

Not so sure everything is gonna be ok when I decide to leave Taipei life,
and drop on the beach,
But,
never try it,who knows?

The first month,
It's a little bit hard for me-
Is it right enough to do so?I am not sure exactly.
But-I won't come back is my strong mind to do so.

For me,
for the studio,
it must be.


The second month,
I was so amazing for the sunshine everyday-
(the first month always be cold,
and couldn't leave my bed all the time.
Who cares the sun?!!)
The sunlight always full of my house,
and make me so warm.
YES,I like the sunshine VERY.


The third month,
Enjoy on my beautiful beach life so much-
biking,jogging,cooking,surfing(for beginner~at least I bought the surf board ^^)......
and make some friendship with local freinds,
I adapted more.


Now,is the fourth month,
it's the time to forcus on "future"-
Who am I?
Why I came here?
Where I like to go?
What should I do for the future?
Could not just soak in the beauty beach life,
I need to get up and go.



Whatever how long will I stay at the beach,
I will always thanks for.
Thanks for sunshine,wake me up everyday;
Thanks for the wave sound,make a nice melody every night;
Thanks for the widely sky,hug my heart so warm every working day off;
Thanks for me,never forget a dream and keep move on;
Thanks for you,be my partner let me involve in your life.

Thanks GOD.
I LIKE THE SUNSHINE HOUSE SO MUCH.

Research the sea and surf

Long time no see.
^^


Recently I had not any calligraphy & taichi class at all in Taiwan,
I have the time to do what i like-
organize my stuff in my house,
and
go to the beach as possible as i could.



Enjoyed the relax moment when i saw the sea,
and took my eyes all the surfers.


That's really let me feel so cheerful,
and learn how to do my bodywork if i like to surf someday.


That's what i done these couple months when i backed to Taiwan in Aug.
And i will do it - last long.



p.s.
Taichi & calligraphy is my favorite and my life-basiced,
but when they become my work for,
i need to take a break from them and really love myself - off duty.


Please take care,my dear
Annie

Calligraphy in Japan(2)



Tokyo is a most expensive city all over the world as you knew,

very luxury,

very incredible.


Not only owned the forward vision in the famousest city,

but also held the traditioanl stuffs around the corner.


More than 5 calligraphy museums in Tokyo and 200 calligraphy book stores there.

Even I didn't have much time to go everywhere,

but I remembered the words all the time-

the Newest is coming from the oldest.


Talk to you more later......

Calligraphy in Japan

When I was a little girl,
have ever joined the calligraphy competition in Japan-
My teacher sent my piece there,
and I won the first place.

How honor for me.

But not usual has the chance for Taiwanese now,
why?

I need to know more for the reason why,
and ask them give us the chance to come again in the future-
for our kids in Taiwan.


Besides this reason,
I need to learn more from Japan.
The calligraphy is also the center of Japan traditional art,
They eagered to create more latest 20 years,
and we only stood here to watch all the time.
It's not good for us.= =
(I just wandering-
So many kids they are just by my side to compete with me all the time when we are young,
but now,how about they?
they are good enough over me?
I wouldn't behind them so far. ><")


Finally,
I need to go to some gorgoeus calligraphy equipment stores,
just like 二玄社,有朋堂
to see what I could not have seen before in Taiwan.


The Tokyo day is coming soon.......

Out of routine life

Yesterday I practiced some TaiChi forms which I mightbe show off in my Japan tour-
2/8-2/17/2010.
Some of that I don't do much recently,
but actually I did worry about nothing,
because I just need to show "ME",
whatever I am.
Never over.

I like taichi a lot,
because it let my every day so meaning for-
not just routine life always,
every minute,every hour,every day,every week,
I fight with myself all the time-
my body's ability,
my mind concentrated,
fighting with my own.

Time is passed,
I need to contain something as usual,
and make myself more consecious in so many way,
how to be borning?
Time is my friend,
and my enemy,too.

It makes me good at something,
but distroy me a lot too.

How can I do nothing just let the routine life go on?

Nice cuisine is our culture's way

Taiwan,
you know,
multi-culture,
multi cuisine.
^^

Taiwan's cuisine is so famous around the world-
Ancient Chinese style,Japan style,Korea style,Thailand style,
American style,Europe style,and so on.

Forget about this-
Taiwan style. ^____^

Multi-culture people came to Taiwan in different period of time,
and mixed together,
to create a compelicate food culture in this small island.
Whatever rice main food,flour main food;easten,westen;southern,northern;
original,transplant,
they are all "Taiwan style".


But,
actually,
we still love the overseas style a lot-
look!
the packing




is all over the English characters.
(The American style food is very popular in Taiwan .Especial for young people they do.)
It's really gorgeous to present by this way and the price will be higher.

In my New York tour,2008,
my New York friends told me,
asked me didn't threw away the calligraphy I wrote,
she said it must be so cool to take that being the outside paper for gifts,
I agreeed with her.

The cuisine way is always the culture way to go,
isn't it?

[AVATAR effects] Ecological Balance

The War comes from the Human being all the time,
not from the trees.

someone likes to destroy them for getting the benefit from the underground,
someone protect them,
so,the war is coming around the corner.

Jack prayed before the war front the spirit of the tree,
prayed for the win.
Nalia said,
The tree,they do not quarantee the winner who must be,
they only do one thing-
Econogical balance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes,
the trees outstanding for so long not for "GETTING",
they are always "GIVING" and "SHARING",
even "PROTECTING" the one who comes close to them-
whatever their age or sexual or where they come from.
that's the reason why they lives~not for specific reason to do so.

Nothing to do with them about the "war",
they live what they need to be live,
if someone really know how to love them,
they survive.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are conscious more,
the trees live longlife more,
the planet is the same way to go.

My family history

Recently I post my family history in my chinese blog-
http://tw.yahoo.myblog.com/TaioCalo-yougogirl
This is the right thing I eager to do for a couple years.

It's from my dad's oral language history in his memory at his 70s.
He was a soldier and joined lots of wars before the 1949 in Mainland China.
After that,
he came to Taiwan with the goverment but alone-
no family,
no money.

He liked to tell lots of story when I was a little girl,
and he always love to be a good father,
and take care of us very much.

After I recorded the whole story he told me one year,
he dead.

Now,
I love to tell you the whole story about my father,
it's the only way I could show how much love I have.

Thank you father,
give me a lot........

[Jack & Nalia]Who has inspired you?

Good morning.^^

Opened my mailbox and saw a mail on-
"Who has inspired you?"what is the titlie is.
(from the white house mail system)

Yes,
who has inspired me?
(thinking......)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a lot-I always be a lucky guy.
So many teachers and friends ,even students,inspired me all the time in my whole life.

Back to the subject-AVATAR,
who inspired who?

Jack and Nalia(sorry,i don't really sure for this.),
so different world person to meet-
a guy from earth,a girl live in Avatar.
Jack lost in the strange jungle,
she saved him.(looks like her compatriot,but she knew he wasn't.)
and she took him to her country,
not for love,
just for good faith-
a killing monster from earth to meet a girl who considering the inside feeling from all kind of lives-whatever is plant or wild animal.
SHE has INSPIRED HIM.

Till knew he need to come out himself to rescue the Nami people,
he was a whole new person far from the earth guy he used to be.

Nalia,
the Nami princess,
she saved Jack just like she saved everyone-she has the good ability to save anyone.
But she is so different from her fellow citizens-
she like to challenge herself a lot-
likes a man,not just being a little girl,a princess was.
She love to explore something new,
she is not an old style women-
yes,she has the leadership of the country in the future,
all came from her best education her father and mother gave it to her-
she knew the dangerous come to her fellow citizens closer and closer form the outside,
so,
she met Jack,
a new guy from strange outside,
he is humble to learn,
they felt in love.

Whatever Jack was a spy and broken her heart,
she inspired him already,
and,
he came back.


Who inspired you?
Must be humble,
and
learn hard,


the AVATAR has inspired me-very.

YES,Trees have the network~AVATAR(1)

Saw the greatest movie-AVATAR last night,
is my honor so.

Still so shocked me when I saw the 3D imax at the largest cinema in Taipei,
not only the newly technology so cool but also the love story so touched-
a real No.1 movie in my heart,
in the world.^^

Lots of subjects we could discuss by this movie,
it's a so compelicate movie ever than I've seen.
But,
at the first,
i love to talk about the "tree network".

Very original and natural world in the LA-MEI,
so different from the earth had.
They respect the living,
however the monster,or tree.

Especial the "tree network",
I could understand what they said-
yes,
the tree could healing the people,
connecting the feeing,
pass the "chi"(electric current)
share the love,
they are so incredible "something real",
but,
the earth plunderers couldn't see.

I love the trees a lot,
within the forest,
among the mountain.

Believing the "chi" is inside,
healing and taking care the living all the time,
we need to respect them,
and protect them-try so hard.
Don't be so self-satisfied.

I wandering to come to close the trees later,
they are my best friends,
my teachers,
my buddies.

REAL MOVIE.
^^

Next essay-
Ecological Balance.

Japan tour

2010
February
I have a Japan tour.
A part of Aisa tour for TaiChi and Calligraphy
before i go to New York-
my plan.

Why Japan?
First,
I've ever been gotten the calligarphy gold medal from Japan when i was a little girl.
Wish to connect something again.
Second,
they combined the traditional stuffs and the modern one all the time,
and balanced so well.
Third,
in New York time,
i always saw lots of gorgerous things by Japanese done,
they always did the excellent things to hold the old and expend the new one.
The last one is,
i need to know more Japanese culture-
That's a real door opened to the west.

I'm looking forward to.^^

H1N1~from New York to Taiwan

In Spril,
I was besieged in New York City for a couple weeks,
in 2009.
Back to Taiwan,
H1N1 is coming soon.
(Not lived with my body.^^)

Now I leaded my students everyday to have the defence with the virus all day long,
after two next classes had to stop the class-learning last month.

We still just be fine,
but more and more students caught the cold among our school,
and the work seems to be so hard.

The goal is,
if we could get the target ~ before the end of 2009 we could be the non stopping-learning class,
I will take the cash gift for every students in my class-
I really mean that.

Wish the H1N1 virus will haul down its flag........^^

養身在動 養心在靜 養靈在空

This is a ancient saying in China.

養身在動
The body you might let her keeping move all the time.
Another saying~
能站就不要坐
能坐就不要躺
To stand up rather than sit down,
to sit down rather than lay down.
^^


養心在靜
To keep the mind calm down with a simple way is good for us.
Don't put ourselves in the busy and compelicate way at our routine life,
try to keep simple,easy way to live is more healthy.



養靈在空
Try to find the way to let ourselves separate with the outsider.
Me is the world,
whatever the world all against you or beat you.
Ego is still alive and active.
Inside seeking is more important than outside.

That's what I try so hard to do so~everyday. ^^

Intelligence

Recently I spent lots of time to read the book~
"The Art of Learning",
Josh's publishing.

He mentioned about the different kinds of intelligence-
fixed and unfixed.(with my words-easier.^^)

Some people might be smart enough,
but they are hard to have the strong self-confidence and learning something from the challenge and failure-they can not be the successful person.

On the contrary,someone who could endure the uncomfortable and uncertain situation,even the frustration beating him(her) so hard and will not let him or her down.
It will really come closer to the target about the success life.

I don't afraid of the failure and frustration,
they always made me learn more,
calm down and deep thinking what's the wrong with,
after that,
keep on going.......
