World cup and the sun

Walking out from the bar, I found the sky became blue and the sun came out. Everything shined in golden and bright color. Before I came to Santa Monica, I dreamed that I am able to watch sunset and sunrise whenever I want. Although I find out it might not be possible for the sunrise, for the bus service is not provided before 5am, the sunset would be possible. Don't need to beg for anyone to drive me to any place for just 10 minutes miracle or worry about my time schedule conflicted with others.

After coming back from "Cyrus" yesterday, I had a conversation with my roommate about the movies -- "before sunrise" and "before sunset". First, I want to talk about that special theater, it is located opposite to my office on the 2nd street. It is a small theater but only puts on independent movies and art house, not like normal commercial ones. I got this information from Nick on the first day of work. I guess we might like the same type of movie. For those two movies, they are two of my favorite movies in my life, which might be scorned by other people for greedy about romance or not real life. For me, they are real life, just like the movie itself from dream, novel to real life takes nice years.

I need to learn how to finding the center of my life in myself, the sun of my sky in my heart. Then there will be sunshine everyday even those I can't see the sun which is just there on the other side of the cloud or 10 miles away from my location.

love is ....

Those cute pictures were love letters from a cute couple, which are widely spread to express what is love. Thanks for sharing with me. It made me smile as the sunshine in life in this cloudy day.

Need sunshine

This is the second week at Santa Monica, a city supposed to be full of sunshine and sea view.
This is the second week that I did not stay in the sunshine in this city.
This is the second week of actually real work.
This is the second week began to receive friends' phone call from South Africa and China.
This is the second week left kaixin001.
This is the second week kept missing sending out the invitation letter to professors.
This is the second week ....
Talked with googler, began to understand their life status and understood what is the meaning between life and work. We could talk about economic statistical model, psychology test, agile programming, all the new technologies, families, cookings. Everyone seems to know what they want in life, which is a quite positive influence.

Miss sunshine and the favor of sun. Before I came here, I thought I could watch sunset and sunrise whenever I want. However, current situation made me homesick....
