Just browsing through G+ feed and saw some good love quotes. Also added a picture of Clover in his new batman outfit that I picked up in Jiufen. It’s hilarious- whenever I put Clover in some clothes, he thinks he can’t move and he just stands still. Only if Steven coaxes him by jumping around does he realize that he can actually move in an outfit.

I’m waiting in the Taoyuan International airport and I hear and see a group of Dutch people loitering around. It makes me feel sad to hear Dutch, but it’s also funny. I will never get over the fact that Dutch sounds like gay German. I really want to laugh sometimes when I just hear them speak.

I learned a lesson in Taipei after speaking to my aunt. I realize that life is, as Elaine S. has pointed out before, too short to waste your time being bitter. When I saw how bitter and somehow angry my once vibrant aunt has become, I decided that I didn’t want to end up like her. I want to do things now that will make me happy in the future. Maybe I am not totally happy right now, but I can’t waste time being bitter and regretful. It is also sad and depressing to be around someone like that. Obviously, I hardly ever talk about my past with my friends, but I also have to work on silencing the internal discontent I have within myself in order to move forward.

About 24 hours before I leave Taipei and head home. I miss my friends, pets, and my house. Can’t wait to go home!
