My Favorite Song

This has been my favorite song since I heard it at KTV one night with the girls. Stephanie found the lyrics in Chinese and English.

Here are the lyrics. They are directly translated from Chinese so the grammer is not correct. You will get the idea though.

Watching you walked away stubbornly and you are not (even) turning your head (to look at me)
Should I chase you back?
It's like this every time that I have to run after you and chase after you (after a fight).
Are you tired yet?
Why does love has to become some kind of a punishment?
Still, if I give it up I would regret (my decision)
If you feel that it doesn't matter
Please let me take back all my love.
Julia, Julia, (please) don't mess things up (again)
Whether it's wrong or right, whether it's yes or no, (please) face it.
Julia, Julia, (please) don't let (our) love wither away.
Whether it is laughter or tears, don't regret it and go and feel the experience.
It's only when you understand that you need to cherish a relationship then our love is perfect.

The song keeps going, but says the same thing over again.

Take a look at the video:

Concert

So guess what? I am going to a concert. Not just any kind of concert, a Backstreet Boys concert! There will only be the four of them, not all five but who cares. I am half excited and half embarassed. I will take pictures if I can.

TV Star

I was told by a couple of my students today that I was on TV Sunday. I have no idea why (the language barrier was quite difficult to get through), but I was on there. I was probably walking by something important with my earphones in not paying any attention.

Moving

Update on the moving to a new office:

We are now going to be on the third floor with the elementary co-teachers. This should be interesting.

Dorcas, David, Rachel, and Kerry are going to be in the office next door.

I will take pictures once I have settled in. Life just got a bit more insane.

Julia has Fallen Hard for Concrete and Pasta

I am accident prone here. Everyone reading this knows that and now everyone at the Fuhsing/Minquan intersection knows that too. I took a major spill yesterday trying to just walk across the street. I must put the blame on my computer because if it wasn't so heavy I would have caught my balance (maybe). Now my left leg is missing lots of skin and my right leg has more bruises that a football player. But wait, thats not all. Today I burnt one of my fingers almost of my hand at Pasta Frolla (pronounced Frollo because I have no idea why). It is a wonder I can type.

I have less then two weeks until vacation time. I am so excited that I don't have to go to school for three weeks. Bed here I come! Bed here I stay!

The school is finally finished. The new "wing" (as I call it) is done, the construction people are gone, and the noise that gave us all headaches last year has gone with them. I am going to video tape it tomorrow and put it on here so past teachers can take a look at it. It is now handicap accessible (now that I don't need it, knock on wood).

I am working on putting my pictures online. I have decided to use shutterfly. I wanted to use myphotoalbum.com, but they do not allow signups from Taiwan.

I have though put videos on youtube. I am silent in most of them because I don't like my voice.
Here is the site. All you have to do to see more of my videos is to click on "More from: jsterling0". You will be able to see all of them.
