labor day

"it's labor day??" - (if there were no facebook, i'd totally be lost about american holidays)

"yea man.  summer's over.  what'd you do all summer?"

"i have no clue.  u?  hamptons?"

"last weekend.  i dunno what i did.  i got engaged"

...and just like that...2012 summer's over.  一眨眼就四十歲了。  不能繼續這樣玩下去。  要定下來了。  我不是跟你講， 我不隨便。 （只是方便）。 i don't know what i did all summer.  just soundbytes and pictures here and there to remind me.  i know that for the past 3 months, i haven't had that stable routine to really put me in front of a computer day dreaming and blogging out of boredom.  rather, it's been another unstable transition towards the inevitable next stage of life.  and transition usually equates xanga neglect.  

"it's better to have your own business.  i do hope you will do your best.  do you need any support. let me know.  but not like in the past like quick sand.   i bet you are more mature.  you're your own boss so do it good.  you will success.  every penny count.  where will your head office.  good luck and best wishes"  - dad

the absolutely most heart warming and inspiring text.  considering 7 years ago, he was my biggest non-believer.
