I'm happy that I have set up my first blog. I want to share it with people I know, people I'm about to know, and people I don't know. Welcome and enjoy!

4 months

Shame on me, the last post was 4 months ago...
A lot have happened in those 4 months: an exam that's perhaps the last I've got to take in my life, a new computer I bought in place of the broken notebook, a month in which I traversed 3 countries, a friend suffering from lovesickness, ...and more.

How many 4-months have I got?Will they be all as full as the last one?who knows, but hopefully they will be more pleasant than the last one.

"orz"

"orz" is a good word. It describes exactly what I feel recently.
Don't know its meaning yet? No, it's not any obscure language, just a picture. "o" is the head falling humbly down, "r" is the arms touching the groud, and "z" shows the legs of a kneeling down, helpless individual. "Oh! Why should all these happen to me!" is the unspoken line. Got it right? Tricky, but not very, only a little imagination needed.
orz
Now, it's easy to understand the following examples:

OTZ (orz of a better grown-up)
OTL (totally orz, legs laying strengthless)
or2 (a round bottom)
or2=3 (a round bottom...releasing some gas...)
Or2 (large head, small body, and round bottom)
orZ (this one has a larger hip)
OTz (a weight-lifter?)
○rz (must have something in that head)
●rz (Will Smith? Michael Jordan? Also very handsome)
Xrz (happened to be shot on the head, just one second ago)
6rz (with ponytail)
On (a baby)
crz (a motorcycler)
囧rz (with face turned left...a few showcases of the power of Chinese characters will follow -- but the characters' meaning have nothing to do with their role in these pictures, only for visual effect)
崮rz (the king )
莔rz (the queen)
商rz (pretty girl in a nice cute hat)
st冏 (facing right)
sto (the same orz, viewed from right)
曾rz (The Mask of Zorro )
益r2 (eyes shut, teeth ground, with pain, don't forget the roung bottom)
★rz (nice hairstyle)
口rz (hitting books too hard?)
__Drz (a few minutes after Xrz, some sticky biological substance running on the floor -- what a brutal thing to imagine!)
prz (long hair touching the ground)
@rz (dumbed, perhaps by facing comupter too long)
srQ (stretching the neck, licking the ground, too bored to be viewed from left again)

Why all this highly difficult facial expession? Not my innovation so don't ask me. There is one entry for orz in Chinese Wikipedia and I took most symbols there, translating or changing the comments only.

Then I guess if I improvise a little, "orzzzzzzzz" should be a movie showing the crawling all the way forward in the gesture of orz. Yes, that's it! Even I'm already orzing on the ground, should still struggle ahead!

Winter is coming.

Almost the most famous sentence in A Song of Ice and Fire, by George R.R Martin. I did not sense it when I read it. Now I do...

Winter is coming, together with the overwhelming pressure, spreading grey cloud under the ominous dark sky, as a prelude of misfortune.

-- Well, to put it in simpler form, my umbrella is broken...

Geist~~~

It's not that I'm getting more philosophical as the physical world gets more disappointing, but that I participate in the Iaido program. According to that theory, concentration is very much needed for using one's power in a swordstrike. (I strongly believe that the Japanese people get the word "Do" from Chinese "Dao"(Taoism)...)

Respect,
concentrate,
calm down,
and
FIGHT!!!!(I admit that the last word sounds more tempting...)
