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.^^

Calligraphy Museum in Japan more than five.....

Wandering to go to Japan this winter time in 2009,
to visit some of the nice Calligraphy Museums.

In Taiwan,no one we could have,
for Calligraphy art.
You might ask "why" like me did,
I don't know.

That's the reason why I need to go to Japan to learn something different.

Wish I could come.

Look inside

How's today?



What I have done now?

What I have not done now?

Do I take care my body carefully today?

Do I intemperate my heart so far today?

May I take that better tomorrow?



Really busy day.
Looking Inside everyday.

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.......

The balance

The balance

A professional specialty

Everybody has his(her) own specialty,

depend on what you done more in the time river.

What's yours?


You might say,
I don't know exactly what is my speciaty.
Sun rise sun set,
spring cool summer hot,
day by day,
nothing special.


Sure,
it's not easy to find out,
the keypoint is,
find what you are and what you want first.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As you know,
Nicker
is my TaiChi friend,
I knew he had the perfect fighting in New York City recently,
How proud to be his friend!!

He is a good fighter,
as you konw,
but I will not be the fighter too,
that's awesome,
not mine.
I'm me,
I have my own specialty.
Whatever we are both the Taiwan TaiChi lover and practitioner.

Even Josh,
the eight times first place owner at Chess competition in USA,
and the great TaiChi Master in New York City too,
we all love TaiChi so much,
but he own his professional specialty,
to combine the chess and taichi area make a new way to see how to be an excellent guy.
That's new,and good to people.

I don't know pushing hands and chess at all,

but I have some calligraphy image in my mind,

so I tried to make them different from before,

that's what I done,

and love to do more in the future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How about you?

TaiChi is a huge concept,

you could translate the old become new what you like to be.

That will be yours.

Time to make tree grow up,to make flower blossom,
also to make some technics become a perfect specialty,
depend on what you like to do,
and what kind of person you like to be.

Even I need to come back to be a normal teacher in school,
a office worker,
but it's fine,
still me.

My muscle,my blood,my breath,
all among the atmosphere what I like to be in the future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wish you be the one you like to be.
Own the perfect specialty.

Happy Chinese Valentine's Day,
tomorrow.......is...........the lovers' favorite day.^^

Chinese KongFu made in ?

Chinese KongFu made in where?

China?

HongKong?

or

Taiwan?

New York City?

Jordon Liu(劉家輝)

A HongKong famousest Martial Artist.

He said

he's ever come to Taiwan to do his HongFu better,

when he became a great kongfu movie star.

In HongKong,

KongFu is the meaning for "movie","star",

but in Taiwan,

it's mean "everyday", "routine","life",

not for something,

just for

"doing".

Good for the body and mind.

Mightbe not enough for Taiwanese to do KongFu just for a better school degree,

it's not enough also for HongKong"ese" just for entertainment and being a star

to do Chinese KongFu a lot.

Mix,

and

go together

to the western land.

For the better life every martial artist could be.

and

Let the beauty go long.......

Culture(1)

Culture is routine life,

is everything.

What's mean "culture"?

It's really hard to define.

Racial?skin color?cuisine?language?area?



We need to face the truth,

culture and breath are alike,

all among your and my body around.

Just like reflect-acting,

no thinking ahead,you did it already.





When I took a walk at the street or avenue on New York City,

saw lots of different style and gorgeous stuffs all around the city,

I always think about that-

Who am I?

Where am I from?

What do I like to catch?

Do I konw-what's my culture?



Do I really understand who I am?

I doubted that.



Knowing more,

I could present more......

What do you think?

He said

It would be tuff,

a very mental thing....

for the "Running the Sahara" everything,

How amazing NYC(1)

Being to stay in New York for twenty-first days,

I felt so good,

and enjoyed a lot.

The image was so different from before I had.

Remembered the first time I came to NYC,

lots of fear beat me so,

didn't know where to go and how to find a nice place to eat.

(Even can't have a conversation with someone else.= =)

But now,

I could take the subway by myself to anywhere,

(must be in Manhatten island is safe enough for some stranger like me )

taking a bike at the Hudson river park bikeway,

shopping in the gorgeous 5th Avenue stores,

(always just window shopping is good for my wallet ^^)

go to the New York Public Library to read some nice papers,

and,

have a relax walk in the SOHO,

wow!!!!!

What amazing it must be.

It is NEW YORK CITY.

where I lived now,

so different from Taiwan what I did.

It's still cold whatever the spring is coming,

but,

did not reduce the love at all what I hold tighten being with New York.^^

How long will I stay in?

One month.^^

It must be the coolest part in my life!!!!

See you soon.

Still cold in New York

Bonnie told me,

it's still cold in New York.



I knew it,

not so warm as the nice place we lived on.



Today I made sure my tour in the spring time to New York,

one month is fine.

Staying longer is my really hope for,

but I still have to figure out everything in Taiwan what we done.

At the beginning everything must be very careful to face on,right?



It's not really my wish to be so hurry for setting up everything,

but I don't have the choice.

Time is money,

always be.





Wish the day to go to New York coming earlier,

I can't help myself to dream of the cold day there.

and the cold day morning in the Spring Street to take a walk......

What a day,what a New York!!!!!!

How to join the online calligraphy exchange by O'house?

Hello!!!
My dear friends,
I knew,
you eager to know more about the online calligraphy exchange what we created.

Actually it's a whole new style coming for the calligraphy competition what we done in 2008,
compete only one character one time
(just pick one piece up among the competed paper what we like you to write down all ),
and online voted,
(not only for the authority did it like before they did but also every websiter could do that too.)
and we will have the check for the first place to get,
up 1,000 NTD.
(It's for 1,200 NTD at the first time we held in 2009.)

Basicly this time is the second time we took for the online calligraphy exchange till 2008,
mightbe it's not so popular now,
but we wish it will be the future life style not only in Taiwan but also across the countryland to make more people could join the online exchange and feel lots of fun in calligaphy and taichi learning process.^^

This time the exchange is just for Taiwanese to join in,
next time,
you are the one with us,
absolutely.

Silence

beautiful silence

Sometimes we just need to hold more silence when the unbalance was coming .
For me is true.

Every time when I felt chaos in my life,
all I have to do is-be silence.
Go to the big mountain to hide,
stay in house by alone,
after that,
getting better and better.

Mom ever told me,
she didn't like to be alone,and afraided slience.
Women are alike,
but it's not the same with me.
I enjoy by myself all the time,
and the "lonely" always make me became a full energy woman then before.^^

Don't be afraid of the silence moment,
listen to yourself,
talk to yourself,
it will be the best magic hour in your life to own.


Do calligraphy,and do taichi,
is the same way to go.
