Mt. Rainier in Summer

Seattle Aquarium

A Poem

Love's Secret
by William Blake

Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.

I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart;
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears,
Ah! she did depart!

Soon as she was gone from me,
A traveler came by,
Silently, invisibly
He took her with a sigh.

爱的秘密
威廉.布莱克
Translated by Maylord

永远不要向你心爱的人坦明，
能坦明的不是爱情；
看那轻风走动
无声、无形。

我向心爱的人坦明，坦明，
倒出心里的所有，
手脚颤抖、发冷，骇人得惊恐。
哎，她竟抽身而走。

她从我这儿走后不久，
过来一个路人，
无声、无形；
一声叹息，他携她而走。

It was 36 degree Celsius

It was 36 degree Celsius today! It felt like summer! Usually, the summer of Seattle is just warm. I rarely feel hot. Most of the time, I would bring a light jacket with me. However, I even sweat today! I did enjoy the weather today.^_^.

Am I getting old?

I have back pain! I couldn't stand still on Thursday! I have to take pain killer pills!

I got the back pain from playing tennis for an hour on Thursday morning. Am I getting old?

Furniture

I have always lived in furnished house. I am not keen on owning furniture. To me, furniture is associated with home. Home is where loved ones are. Even though I have lived in Seattle for 6 years, I refer Seattle as "school". "Home" is always where my parents live. When I talk to my parents on the phone, I'd tell them when I would go home and if I have got back to school from my travels.

However, I have accumulated furniture. Last year, I bought a bookcase and a study chair. I got a floor lamp from a friend. This year, I bought another bookcase and a file cabinet. I also got a desk from another friend. Today, another friend who is leaving Seattle soon has some furniture to sell. I might get a dresser and another floor lamp from her.......

Is Seattle going to become my home?

Traveler's dream

I really envy this guy who gets pay to travel around the world.

You know what I mean when you watch his videos.
