Today, I felt that I am a totally changed person. As you know, I am finding a job, but I didn't do very well on sending resumes because I limited myself in many perspectives, such as job title, content, if I am totally matched the conditions or not. I suddenly thought these ideas are so stupid because there isn't a job can find a perfect match. There must be something both employer and employee will compromise, and the only difference between them is how much they will compromise. Because of this thought, I finally try some different job to apply, and I will try some more in the next few days.

I really hope that I can find a job before Chinese New Year, and start to to work in March at least.

By the way, I start to clean the room I stay in Taipei for the Chinese New Year, and I now I not just feel changed but also refreshing :D.

【Miss English】From Soup to Nuts

is an American English idiom conveying the meaning of "from beginning to end". It is derived from the description of a full course dinner, in which courses progress from soup to a dessert of nuts. It is comparable to expressions in other languages, such as the Latin phrase ab ovo usque ad mala ("from the egg to the apples"), describing the typical Roman meal.



"Soup to nuts" is often used in I.T. and Project Management to refer to "the complete process" from original idea to completion. It is also commonly used in the internal inspection process in CPA firms to identify the comprehensive beginning to end approach.

Tom Hands was so young and thin to recognize!

Few days ago, I saw the movie, Philadelphia, whose leading actors are Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington, which is about a homosexual layer with AIDS, Andrew Beckett, got fire by his firm, so Andrew and his attorney, Joe Miller,sued his firm to fight for this working right. The background is in 90s and people at that time believed that the homosexuals were the carriers of AIDS and were also very conservative about homosexual. So this background made Andrew and Joe had lots of difficulties to fight with the strong and conservative firm and society in and off the court.

Actually I just saw the later half part of the movie, which is about cross-examining on the court. You can see the director is trying so hare to let people know that how conservative and stubborn people were, no matter the owner or bosses of the firm or the people in the society or even Joe himself. This part reminds that if I am a conservative and stubborn person as they of the movie. I ain't just talking about the issue of homosexual or AIDS, there are lot more issues which may not be acceptable for most of people at this time, but there issues might be more acceptable after ten or twenty years. Just like homosexual was not acceptable thirty years ago, now more and more people try to accept , understand or even approve this group.

I am writing this not to discuss the changing of society, because I am not a social scientist. I just want to remind myself that always be open minded about new things which may not be easy understand now, but try hard and be in their shoes which will help me to accept more in somehow.

By the way the movie is really good, so next time I will finish the movie from beginning to end.

Ryan and I went to Takashi Murakami 's exhibition, I Love Print, So I made them, this afternoon. Takashi is a very creative artist, and he try to use some cute or interesting characters, such as KaiKai and Kiki, to show his ideas of art. Before seeing this show, I thought him as a successful artist who can also manages business very well. After seeing his works and some footage of his working process of his famous works, I finally found that he is not just creative but also very good at execution with attention to details, which make he a very successful artist who can earns lots of money. It's not just his luck, is his work to make him achieve his goal.

After the show, we went to the Shilin night market. We try to have the food which has many people line up for, and I even felt sick on the way home. We tried about 5 different food and 3 kinds of drink, and all of them were pretty delicious. I will put some pictures to show what we had this evening.


Yesterday, I successfully booked the tickets for CNY holidays, and I also found that one of my friend, I don't know if she see me as a friend anymore, couldn't access the web at all. I left her a private message on plurk to tell her that I can help her to book her tickets, and I didn't go to bed until 2am. She didn't say a word even a thank you. I am pretty disappointed about her, even though I told myself that do not expect too much on her when I left the message. Maybe I am just too ardent, I still think that she should let me know if she need my help or not. Anyway, I just lose another friend, or maybe I had already lost her for very long time. I hope I can get rid of this very soon!
