in the deep
if i could, i will dye the world with deep blue.
it's a little triste but also a little cheerful.
it's the colour of enternal summer
that stands for freedom, youth, sweetness, and sourness....
though finally we're getting old like paper photos inevitably fading,
thousand times of bright moments won't dim.
'cause it's the memory--the flash of time,
albeit tempus fugit.

bookishness
To be "gay," I think, is not to identify with the psychological traits and the visible masks of the homosexual, but to try to define and develop a way of life. (207)

Footnotes:
In the very beginning of every new year I am always ambitious to make new plans. Though most of plans are made in vain and I rarely reach the goal…. Well, it's just some kind of encouragement for me. Again, après, nous ne savons jamais..., but I believe if there are few parts in life that can be controlled, I should seize them.
For last year I thank my aunt, cousins, Flora, Zide, Kai, Zu, Chi, Chu, Bobo, and Ivy. My aunt never understands what I study, but she always supports me. Cousins share their feelings to me. Flora is my school sibling in high school, university, and right now in graduate school. I know her nothing. She doesn’t decide to show me her inner side; neither do I. But she does save me two times in the turning points. Zide is my teacher in university. He is busy, but he is always willing to give me some time and encourage me in writing. Kai is ex-bf; he loved me though it passed. Zu, Chi, and Chu are my teachers right now. I am not so good at presenting myself, but they give me the chance I need. Bobo is a new friend. I cherish the time we go swimming together; on the way to "frog" pool, I like the small talk from nonsense to art stuff…. Ivy was a teacher and now is my classmate. I like her consideration and enthusiasm though I have to turn down her interest in me.
This year I have to switch into high gear.
