What If

       If I turned ugly, would you still be madly in love with me?
       If I aged, would you still kiss me on the cheek?
       If I ran away from you, would you catch my arm on time and hold me tight?
       If I got lost, would you keep looking for me until my face reflected in your eyes again?
       If I told you I still loved you, would you tell me you missed me?
       I failed to let go of my last relationship. He is not the best of all, but he stole my heart.

Oklahoma

     

       I never noticed the moon in Oklahoma could be so bright and the sun so breathtaking. Oklahoma is not quite a good choice of place for living to many people.

"Tornadoes are coming. Seek shelter in the interior of your home. 
Earthquakes are coming. Avoid the interior of your home. Go outside if possible. 
There's light night outside. Avoid high ground. 
There's a flash flood warning. Avoid low ground.
Hail is present. Avoid open areas. 
Parts of the state have received 5" of rain in the past three hours. 
However, a burn ban is in effect..." 

       Ah, from feeling strange to accepting the fact, to falling in love with this place, I think I am accustomed to the severe weather here. Six years, a quarter of my to date life.
       Winds continue to blow, birds continue to sing.
       Life goes on.

I Will Miss This And That

       I finally gave the final byes to my professors who I have known for almost five years, and one of them is actually retiring this coming May. How interesting it is that someone is stepping out of a business and I am going in. I am so gonna miss the things that I went through here in the past few years. The University of Oklahoma, the College of Engineering, the Department of Industrial Engineering, Class of 2012, Dean's Leadership Program, TRIO Program, International Student Leadership Program, Bizzell Library, Engineering Library, Lloyd Noble Center, etc. Oh tears. I have to come back some time again in my life. >,<

My Life Train

       Life is like a train with multiple stops on the way.
       Twenty-three years ago, I started my train to adventure, to explore, to experience, and to challenge.  Everything went well. People jumped on board, and some dropped out. I may not remember every single piece of events, but they are certainly kept in a safe corner.
       Six years ago, I decided to stop by Oklahoma. People here are very different from the ones at home, but I met a lot of friends. Soaking in an English-only environment, eating steaks and spaghetti for dinner, falling in love with foreigners, and completing education. From forming relationships to heart breaking. From feeling uncomfortable to enjoying satisfaction and achievements. Everything, everyone decorates my train with their color pencils. I occasionally jumped on others' trains to gift as well. Some people have a picture of my smile on their wall, and some have a drop of my tear. I once thought I would park my train here for the rest of my life.
        The next stop is Chengdu, China. It's another place far from home, but closer. I don't know what will happen in the future, but I will collect all my gifts and get ready for the new journey.

New Challenge

       I need to announce that I have accepted an offer in China and will be moving back home soon. It is a great company with things I love, clothing fashion, industrial engineering, great people and working environment, and a bright future. I am thankful finally getting something to satisfy my passion and build up a path to success. I gave up many opportunities and relationships in the past few months since graduation, but everything is paid off and worth it. As Steve Jobs said, keep looking for what you love because working is a large part of life and only good work satisfies your heart.
       I have found my click. What about you?

Remembrance

       At some moments in life, we realize lots of old friends' contacts are lost. People were once so close, chatting days and nights and gossiping hours after hours, but then at some point, they felt apart and stopped talking to each other. We wonder why and seek out reasons. hatred is not always the case, and I am sure most of us are still emotionally linked. Well, physical distance indeed plays a big role.
       I am glad Yaya and I still enjoy each other's company so much, just like time hasn't gone by too far. Laughing at each other's goofy behaviors, discussing each others' boyfriends and exes, and taking funny videos together build up the pieces of our memories. True love of life.
