First weekend after the lunar new year
Hot 1 |
Friday again. Yes. Exciting again. When it comes to this moment people are longing for the time going back home after work. Whatever they are with family or remain single alone doing some others. When we get used to something familiar, we just find time goes as fast as a train and as invisible as the wind. The former left us the feeling of a gale against us harshly, the latter blows over face with no sign of its trace but being gifted a grey hair and wrinkles.
We may desire some time for resting up, some others are still working hard either for dreams or living. That is the reality everybody has to face. A friend just met today online told me she was on the tough time by staying home. The reason is that she still find it hard to find a job. Whenever she submit her resume she is afraid of being rejected and denied to be back. Such a feeling is not that good just like an item being to choose on the shelf in the supermarket. What's worse, she found many positions, and they said no because they want a girl who is under 28. Therefore age reveals her is not young anymore and becomes the barricade to stop her job hunting.
I told her that everyone has such an uncomfortable feeling and do not want to be vetoed. But we have no choice. Since we have to work for the purpose of getting the resource to support life and realize self-value. We are gregarious not isolated. We have to work. Whatever we work for some others or work as a boss. And if we choose to work for a company, we have to swallow up those bitterness since the boss pays the money. Surely we can freely to choose some other better position when we are offered to another nicer position. Unless we have already realized self sufficiency, then we can choose to do some others of meaningful activities. While for those ordinary ones, we have to do admit we need work to proceed with life.
After work, I found the picture of marriage certificate posted from a friend of mine who exclaimed that he successfully proposed his girlfriend. They did the vow and now become lawful couple after marriage registration. I felt good to see his happiness. It really flies. A month ago, I was asked to write a proposal recommendation for his girl to marry him. Now he got it. He used to tell me that he does not inherit a good look appearance and finds it tough to seek a girl who will be with him in the rest of life. Fortunately, now he has earned the happiness.
Things changed, which I always believe it. We do not know what it might be like in the future. Difficulties and obstacles are just right there, we can not skirt and shortcut it. Even we can escape from the reality for the time being, we will live in the shadow and regretful memory forever.
Stretch out arms and hand the pen brush to color the blueprint. It could be the outline you draw right now, after that, it becomes a picture of watercolor by adding ingredients of kinds of colors.
Have a good weekend.

- Everybody is excited at the weekend because we have the weekend entirely for our own to use. Some prefer to enjoy the time in the comfort of his own home, accompany parents, loved ones, enjoy homely meals or pass it leisurely. Some would prefer outdoor activities or refresh contacts with friends. Everyone has their own preferences and interests. Our present generation is more fortunate than our parents. Our parents had to work hard for a living sacrificing their time for their children. They can't enjoy the weekends like we do now. They have to worry about day to day living and feed the young ones. Some younger people believe that their aged parents would be able to care for themselves and just neglect them. Aged parents need the concern and care from their own children but would seldom say it. Wherever possible, we should take care of our parents and let them pass their old age in good health respectfully.
With the advent of the internet, we are able to easily keep in contact with friends and have a chat in times convenient to us and talk about our recent developments. We can also share the news, pictures and movies with our parents and they are normally delighted. We are also able to maintain friendship with friends in foreign countries across the world. Through the news, we can know instantly whatever that is happening in our home countries or distant lands. The notion of being able to communicate with friends far away fascinates me and I am able to learn and know a lot through those contacts.
We receive a lot of information and news from our relatives and friends. Some are happy and some are sad information. Sometimes, we are able to give some information or ideas to help to help them meet challenges in life and overcome all sorts of difficulties.
Sorry to hear about the situation of your friend who have problems finding a job and employers have discriminated her because of age. Try to comfort her and let her know that all employers are different. Some employers need useful staff for work while some only need a pretty vase to decorate the offices. Sooner or later, she would find a suitable job for herself. However, the present situation is not so good and bosses are choosy when employing people. The situation could become worse as other nearby countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia are also developing fast and are competing with China for business and investments. China has enjoyed several years of high growth without competition and perhaps the good days are gone. We should make the best use of the present situation, work hard, upgrade ourselves and prepare for rainy days.
Glad to know that your friend is finally legally married. Although he is not blessed with good looks but looks are not important for men. It is the earning power, capability and resource which counts. There are lots of challenges that newly weds have to face. After the novelty and freshness of marriage, reality would surface and they would have to deal with the challenges of two people living together. The seven year itch of marriage is now reduced to three years according to information from people who married in recent years. Some couples are able to be together through tough times and hope that they would be able to live together happily hereafter.
The water color drawing you included is quite nice. I wonder if there are so nice places in our world. The two houses on the top of the hill is so serene and pleasant. Those who can draw have the satisfaction of being able to draw whether scenes they can imagine.
The Spring is in the air and we all should enjoy the freshness and beauty of Spring nature has given to us. Indeed, the land has returned to the beauty of Spring.

In the peaceful time, we can work and live with no worry of suffering wars and conflicts. When I think of this, I appreciate I am fortunate in comparison with those who are now still facing starvation, diseases and wars.
I think this kind of moment being with family. This weekend, I am home with parents. In daytime, we had small talk and made tea t spare warm afternoon. Though it is still a little bit cold in the evening and morning, actually, it is all fine. I see some girls and boys, and younglings are wearing fashionable clothes. More like the spring with the colorful dressing.
Sometimes, I do spend time to encourage friends who have met some problems and confusions. I try best to let them feel there is still hope as long as we hang in there.
As the marriage, which is something like a trip of cooperation and mutual trustworthiness from each other's support and understanding. It goes under the test of tough times and ups and downs. It never ends until death parts. I am moved by this kind of a relation between the two who can last their loyal love. I think that one day I can own that relation.
In the current moment, the weak performance of economy does give us a warming that the winter of development still exists and we should be aware of it. Therefore, everyone, including me, myself, should learn and study to equip well for the potential risk that we may meet. Then we feel no problem to cope with difficulties without being bothered too much.
I like that kind of drawing in the style of traditional style. Everyone has his pursuit for a better future. We also share something via the internet. Thanks to the technology brings us convenience. Greatly, it helps us to be more easy to connect everywhere over the world.
Recently Mom has changed style by drawing some cartoon characters and also some others, trees, waters, and all of those interesting things. She is really great. I am surprised by her amazing sketching. She only takes no more twenty minutes to finish a outline of a picture. Then She would spend some time, like one and two hours to apply colors. Finally, a vivid drawing done by her hand. An old lady can do something and grab something back which was a long time ago left in her childhood. And now she is coming back to realize another rebirth. I do feel good.
You have a nice simple personality, family orientated, plus sufficient foresight.
