our 4th anniversary
September 9th, 2004
bubo is our little model today. he modeled in his new sweater for us. what an anniversary surprise ^_^ i have been swamped in school since it started, i almost forgot about our anniversary. i guess we did not do anything too special for our anniversay. i didn’t even have time to make a page for it. that does not make it any less special for us. everyday is special for us. we are going to have a short trip to Wolfsboro, New Hampshire for andy’s bro’s wedding from 24-26 this month. that should be a good break for us.
we took bubo to petco in a city nearby on labor day. it must have been the pet day. there were so many dogs in petco, he got totally overwhelmed. we stated for an hour. the funniest moment is when bubo barked at two dogs 5 times his size to show off his toughness. LMAO. bubo acted so weird. he was scared of smaller dogs and was brave meeting larger dogs. i was preplexed. until elizabeth (andy’s bro’s gf) mentioned since bubo got “bullied” by spot, andy’s old cat, he must thought the smaller dogs are cats and was fearful for their slaps.
andy’s birthday
March 5th, 2004
forgot to mention that my bf andy turned 23 last week and i gave the most perfect card ever 
inside the card it said “Hope you receive the universal sign for happy on your birthday”. everyone at the party loved the card. i still can’t believe shoebox portrayed him so well. i was speechless.
地上走的爱
February 28th, 2004
我想每个人一生中或多或少都会有些对爱的梦想。尤其那年少时的纯洁与真心。我最近在吴淡如《爱的幽默》里读到：
“对於爱，我们越来越小心，从前的那种勇气，大声说我爱你的勇气，已经消失得没有痕迹。甜蜜十七岁的爱情，那种没有你，我活不下去的真情，如今只活在我们的回忆里。”
我想人在成长中不可能不改变。想要活的快乐，就得想方设法地忘记过去的伤心事。一生中我们会遇见许多五花八门的人，有些萍水相逢，淡淡的不留太多记忆。有些曾深藏你的心可留给你只是今生不愈的伤痕。有些则让你永生难忘。也许他做的并不惊天动地，可对你的影响却很大。
最近许多人说我变了，更成熟了。我有时也觉好笑。不知是对是错。常常也有如墨水般渲开的忧郁。可在这样的忧郁里，我也快乐着，曾经那么生嫩却生气勃勃的活过。
不久的将来我会正式地给过去画上一个句号，重新开始一段属於自己的生命。也该和爱的梦想告别一下，去为自己的未来奋斗了。如果你是我的朋友就该明白，我已经做了决定，不再需要太多意见了。
如今的我似乎早已做到的我所说的了。荣荣最近来信说我不再在天上飞而是在地上走了。其实也只是一眨眼的功夫。我生活的重心改变了很多。我并不想说”没有你，我活不下去的真情”?已离我而去。但我确实知道了人的感情生活是很难十全十美的。由其像我这样想象过於充分，相信琼瑶那句”怎一个爱字了得”的人。我想爱情的惊险和感伤是紧紧相连的。出生的牛犊喜爱惊险，对爱也是一样。经历过的人有时会觉得日夜相守的爱过於平静，其实之中的真情不亚于前者。平淡而不厌烦，还常有幸福的感觉应该更是难能可贵的吧。而我也庆幸找到一个爱我比爱他自己更多的男人。天上飞的爱也许浩荡，地上走的爱因长久，不是吗？
refreshing monday
October 6th, 2003
i think it was extremely refreshing for me to see the blue sky and beautiful sunshine and feel the breeze this morning. you have no idea how cold it was last week. today it is more like a reasonable autumn day and it makes me happy ^_^
yesterday i spent 3 hours scrubbing the stove, the kitchen floor, the toliet, the bathtub and the bathroom floor. scrubbing the toliet is definitely the bomb. a little poo stain here and there only added more excitement right? LOL ok i’m gross. but pure physical tasks help to clear things off your mind.
this morning when i woke up, i turned over. i found myself hugging my carebear on the other side of the bed. it seems andy had replaced himself with the carebear again when he left this morning. hehe he’s always so cute. he’s done this before. and when i asked him, he said: well, when your bear is not around, at least you’ve got another bear to hug. it’s just so sweet when i think about it. the other day i was crying about something. so i woke him up at 3am. he didn’t get any more sleep before going to work at 8am. i apologized to him later for keeping him up and he said: well if i am not there for my poopoo, i don’t know what i’m good for. ^_^ life is just so beautiful when you have someone like andy by your side.

3yr anniversary!!
September 9th, 2003
@____________@ in love is the sweetest. today is OUR THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! check out our anniversary page hehe.. i made it today.. i rushed the layout but i think it turned out ok. i’ve been on major layout block lately. i guess love finally gave me some inspiration we are going to eat at the amana colonies tonight after andy gets home. it’s kinda funny that we have the same anniversary date as google (look ^_^)
our anniversary is coming
August 26th, 2003
OMG, i just came up with the most creative idea to celebrate our anniversary! since both of us love to cook and since Sept 9th (our anniversary) is a Tuesday. That means both of us will be in school. so we are gonna make each other lunch box for that day. but the lunch box must contains a message to show love. i.e. i can make a lunch box that spells “i love you, andy” or something. we can both plan this ahead. and if either one of us need to use the kitchen, the other can not peek until the final result is done. how does that sound? i’m sure andy will love it i already have an idea what i’m going to do hehe.. but of course i still have plenty of time to think about. WOOHOO i’m excited.
oh yea we also got our new camera (Canon Powershot G5) yesterday. it’s so awesome. it was too late to take good pictures after the battery was done charging. so we made a video *hehe* i posted it on my private board for a few people’ eyes. the camera comes with this awesome software video impression which allows you to edit your video. you can add begining themes, two background sounds, captions on the video etc. it’s awesome. it looks so easy to use too. i played with it a little last nite. it gave me so many ideas. i will have to make a good video sometime
hope you are jumping again

I was browsing around my old cards and found this one sitting there. So I picked it up and read it. It almost brought me to tears again. I must felt awful when he gave me this card. I remember there was a period I was rather depressed. Glad we went through it together The card said:
Ying, I know it’s hard for you every day with so much to do and no chance to say the important things that are on your mind. But look at me and you will find, the man that loves you heart and soul, even when weariness from labor takes its toll, the words that never reach my ears, my heart has a special sense to hear, for you are there inside of me.
With so much time of mine spent doing work, it must feel like there’s none left for you. These are indeed the hardest years of my life, thank God school’s only for two. I’m trying to lay the path for a life that will be bright and full of cheer. I understand how unbelievable it sounds when we are still right here. But trust me when I say, that the sacrifices I make today, and the seeds I sow will one day grow, for a better future for us both.
I’m sorry it’s been so long since I’ve written you something from my heart. It seems like every day I try to urge myself to start, but know that you are always on my heart and on my mind, my feelings may not reach the paper, but they fill me all the time, with the love and joy and pride I to be your loving man. I hope that you will feel as happy as I am.
I want so much to stay with you, until the end of time, and the silver moon wakes us from our mortal lives, and brings our souls to forever climb, to the infinite beauty beyong our dreams, where the love in my heart forever gleams, for you my darling because you mean so very, very much to me.
I love you,
Andy
andy will be away today
July 3rd, 2003
andy told me that he would be hanging out with his colleague after the work. he won’t be back until later at nite since he doesn’t have to work tomorrow. his colleague’s gf left to visit her parents, that gave them a chance to watch david bowie and nine inch nails dvds and listen to loud music etc. i suppose it’s somewhat a party for them?! LOL i don’t like him listening to loud music at home when i’m home coz well i hate it. and he’s caring enough to take my feelings into consideration. now that he’s gone, i already start to miss him. for some reason knowing that he won’t be home after work makes me a bit sad.
i guess slowly i start to get used to have someone to have dinner with every nite. it makes you feel like you actually own a home. it’s so difficult from living by yourself. not only because of the companionship but also the feeling. seeing him after work is something i always look forward to everyday. seeing his face gives me security. whether i’m in a good or bad mood, i feel someone would care to share. maybe that’s the basic dependency between husband and wife?
This morning he woke up early and we had a long chat about cats and dogs. among all the pets, we both like cats and dogs the most. they are just the ideal pets for us and we were discussing about which kind we should have when we could have one.
andy recently had seen a customer brought a cute pomeranian along to his dealer. he said that was a perfect dog. I found some pictures of them, they ARE extremely adorable. then we went on and shared funny pet stories. his colleague told him one time when he visited his boss. his colleague and his boss were sitting on the couch watching TV. all of a sudden his boss’ cat jumped up on his boss’ laps. by the time his boss realized what happened, that cat had already ran away and hid. that cat peed all over his boss’ laps! LOL i’ve never heard a cat would do that. but go KITTY LOL
I also had a funny story to share.
our family don’t know much about dogs because we never had one. one time my mom brought home a colleague’s puppy for an hour so we could pet him. when we had roman noodle, the puppy barked at us. so we gave him a little bit of the noodle to try. surprisingly the puppy seemed addicted to the roman noodle soup. he couldn’t stop drinking it. we gave him extra after he was done with the first bowl. well that was a huge mistake (please don’t do this to your puppy). later when my mom picked the puppy up to return it, it regurgitated the roman noodle soup all over her shirt. LOL I couldn’t believe it hahahahah.. my mom was so pissed. I laughed my head off.
last nite *faint*
June 16th, 2003
andy did it again! it’s almost exactly like what happened more than a year ago. he was so sick to his stomach last nite that he was overly dehydrated. only this time we didn’t have go to the emergency room because his condition was finally under control around 5 in the morning.
i’m really not sure what exactly he had eaten that made him so sick. because i ate the exact same thing he did yesterday and i am just fine. maybe he’s allergic to certain things in the food that he doesn’t know. he doesn’t have any health insurance to see a doctor about it right now. i’m so worried. we had dinner at his dad yesterday to celebrate father’s day. his dad grilled turkey breasts and brots. they were fully cooked. andy’s bro, sister, dad, step mom, and step grandparents were all there. i’m pretty sure nobody got sick besides andy.
(more…)
