please take care

(starbucks in Shanghai, somewhere...this winter vacation)

I can't believe this is happening again.
Thanks for the monster, I really needed something to munch on my worries.

Keeping a blog was not only to keep the ones I care about updated about my life but as a place to reflect. But I've been trying so hard to keep it a happy and interesting one, not one of those blogs I keep writing about my troubles and problems. That's not the kind of blog I want.

I know you can lose your stuff anywhere in the world, but I've never really thought about it when I'm in starbucks in Taiwan. I'm not saying the crime rate is higher in Shanghai or anything, I was once pickpocketed my cell phone when I was in Vietnam, it's just that we seem to never notice some things before we actually lose them. Hmm, don't we hear this a lot?

So maybe I should have something just like this notice here to remind me everyday that I should take care of anything I have already. I do remind myself time to time, but sometimes we're just too stupid to realize what life would be if something was missing. I read on this design book saying the best designs are the stuff we never notice, such as the trees that give us air, and we only realize a bad design when something goes wrong. So "please take care" has a different meaning when a friend say this the next time, it means that you could lose them or they could lose you too. Just like how my notebook has once again abandoned me, it's still here, but it won't react to anything I do to it anymore. Please come back to me. PLEASE.

And now they're playing AKON's (sorry blame it on me) on the speakers. Yeah, I'll just blame it on you, too.

Wonder if I'll ever have the time to throw a party now.
