Saturday, October 31
Today we were both lousy-drowsy and woozy. Well it is explainable after a night out.
Last night we went out to a five star hotel for Wijb’s Birthday and had an exclusive dinner in Buffet.
We have been there for couple of times in different occasions, actually I do love grills and sea food ecepecially.The fact is we had couple of glasses of wine in ages and the result is the next day been lame and tired, at least not hangover.
Moreover, we had a funny accident as passing from the small gate of our place my poor knees were slammed and smashed to the wall cause of sudden stop of scooter. Well Wijb was a bit dizzy though.
Anyhow, I managed just to play tennis, study Chinese and play game for hours which is not too bad for a day rest and be at home.

Swearing?!
Who does like and appreciate swearing.
I don’t think anybody go for that.
Well, In fact we are not talking about a daily life talking and chatting with friends and acquaintance and start yanking and scolding them and then ratified as having sense of humor and it was just kidding.
Is it important in a language to use swearing words?
How much swearing is necessary?
A lot of linguistics believe in swears are part of language which make it more colorful and realistic and ear-blowing.
True or not, if you draw more attention to TV shows, talk shows, any comedy channels and theater or drams, you realize how much they might use it and in that way doesn’t seem awkward or clumsy in language, on the contrary seems necessary and it is like seasoning a language though.
In dramas, acting on stage and performances I bet it is necessary. It could consider using in drama because it is part of language and help you to get close to audiences.
In daily life, some people think swearing is a kind of relief form pain, stress, and ignorance. According to psychologist when your mind is blocked and tired and think of any words to say all swear words are still active on your unconscious mind. That’s amazing isn’t it?
But the point is if we have kids around should we control ourselves or not?
Some people say well they will earn it some day themseleves,but the fact is they pretty much copy and imitate what parents do and say and this privilege sometimes cost really hard though.

October 27, 2009,Tuesday:
Today I was a bit lame and hardly could get out of bed.
My bones are painful and seems like being in a wind mill squeezing them, stiff and feel fidget to move.
That is just because of dancing and sweating for an hour and then sitting on scooter enjoy fresh air and nice breeze at 9.30 P.M last night.
You might wonder what was going on last night though.
Me and Wijb went to see the dance class and decided what to do. Actually we did a great job understanding what the registration desk say sand sort out about the class, all in Chinese.
In fact we realized the time for Latin dance is not that much flexible nor so many days per week, so far we have to choose between the last hour of the day, which starts 8.30 P.M and another 6 P.M,a and secessions are three times per week.
Anyhow we registered and paid .That’s the way it goes in China. Sounds pranky!.
They come and talk to you a dn stick to you like lichees.But to be frank we wanted and I do love to go back to much better shape and more exercise.
I felt during the first session wijb is acting a bit awkward.
It was his first dance class and I told him when I started going to proper dance class 4 years ago ,my steps were horrible and out of chronological order as well.
Presumably, he was the only tall foreigner in the class and the only man!
We checked and they told us there are men in other classes and other times and I am hoping for next time as we switched the time ,we meet more people instead of just 5 teeny -tiny ,giggly Chinese girls.
Dance teacher was a small ,awkwardly skinny girl. when she was bending and moving I was thinking her bones going to break. God I have been long enough to see so many short and slim or skinny girls in China ,but what I don’t get is how they survive without food ,in order to be thin!. Such an issue…
I am happy we both do things together and I know Wijb is doing this for me and I would appreciate it.
Hoping one day soon be able together have a great dancing secession.

October 26, 2009 Monday:
Yesterday, Sunday we hopped on the scooter and found out about a dance class in Xian.
Wijbren know how much I am missing and loving dancing.
Before me and Wijb met, couple of year before I found a Latin dance class in Chngsha and I spent 5 months learning 5different Latin dances, which after that due to lack of practice I forgot most ,but practiced one more often.
Possibly everyone is familiar with Salsa dance.
In meantime I was teaching in Hang Zhou there were couple of bars where every weekend was crowded by dance groups and the atmosphere was so hustle and bustle with a mind tempting Latin music and nice cheerful good-looking dancers and couple of nice brandy’s everything goes well.
To be honest, I was so surprised that wjib mentioned about dancing class and got the address from one of his students. Surprised not in matter of why and how, because I know wijb can be cheerful, complusive and obsessive person when the time comes, but I was not sure I can hear that from him.
We had couple of lessons, having practiced Salsa together and he was unsure and a bit stiff and act like a robot, but I think it is just lack of sense confidence or might feel uncomfortable because of his height.
Anyhow, this afternoon we are going to have a dance test’s class and see how that works and I am hopping we sign for a 2 months practice and make us a bit more busy, in a matter of doing different things and especially outside activities.

October 25, Sunday:
What is going on recently is pretty tough and strange to express.
Wijb has always been conscious of eating properly and not too much.
Well, for instance when we came back from Europe trip end of summer we went trough this discussion how many dishes we should order per day.
In fact, I am too conservative about food in matter of being healthy, not too rich in ingredients, especially for summer time, and particularly after coming back from Europe trip, which I as thinking Dutch food and cheese (kaas) are pretty rich and heavy food.
Truly, anywhere you live according to weather and your physical activities you need a certain amount of calories.
Anyhow, we went on kind of diet, or in fact have less food for a month, because I felt always full and heavy to get more dishes .We succeeded to have more exercise by the end of summer.
The point is nowadays as school has started and people are back on business and back to Xian you can find so many vendors everywhere, which are good to get any type of snacks (Xiao chi) which are healthy, but heavy though.
Wijb has started hanging with crisps of sweet potatoes, chunks of red, dried tomatoes and chest nuts and dried bananas which I do like though, but I control not to eat a lot cause have not that much exercise.
In china you can get any type of these kind of snacks even farther you can get kidney, neck, foot, mouth, tongue,…of chicken, duck, buffalo.
Sound to some disgusting or weird and to some people treffic.

October first, Thursday;
Today is the first official day of National holiday in China and especially this year has more effective owing to it is the 60th anniversary of republic of china.
It is great to see the ambience of city and streets during the holidays, as everywhere is kind of idle, tranquil and peaceful you can breathe easier and not that much traffic and honking horn and noise pollution hit your face.
Hu Jin tau, The Chinese president has made a big, foppish speech on Tiananmen Square in the center of Beijing, Having talked about opening- up policy and socialism. The development and the progress during these 60 years in china, in which is a truth in fact.
But actually, if we go back before opening doors to thee world and making free trade, China was almost around 30 years was struggling after referendum of Chairman Mao who is the symbol of freedom from capitalism and bring republic to china.
As a matter of fact you can feel how fundamentally china has been changing, particularly during the last decade.
This is the sixth year that I have been living in China and this year as last October me and Wijb decided not to go on trip anywhere and save the money for January, as winter holiday possibly go to Europe again and plans for marriage eventually and hopefully.
Anyhow, we have a-7 more day holiday and I have to go back to work earlier than Wijb as I presume from the news which I have heard.
Recently, I am using my time to do something especial with painting .In fact, from picture and memories of Germany and Holland creating character and making them alive by drawing on the paper and add colors. So I am luckily in mood of painting, besides I am so delighted about it.
Today I was in middle of a sketch from Wijb’’s face and then have decided to add some color to my preliminary well-done sketch.
It is a good feeling for an art follower, whenever trying to transfer her/his mind and feeling in the paper and communicate with audiences, but not this feeling is elusive. As far as I know myself maybe others similar to me, as in a period of time that I am so impulsive and obsessive to do something what ever it could be and it needed to be done, it must be ended, otherwise my days turn hell and monotonous.
It doesn’t need to be very foppish masterpiece, it can be some idyllic black and white charcoal style sketches, but it talks to me and gives me motivation how to expose inside of myself.

Friday October 30,
Today is Wijb’s Brithday. It is his second Birthday from the time we met and start our relationship.
In fact, last year it was just a month we knew each other and by that time we moved on to live together and I would thinking that’s the best could happened by that time, still I had got him a nice wall paper paintings he told me he loves these things so much.
For this year as we are engaged and I do care for him so much and still I don’t have too much money to get exclusive things for him.
So far, I was thinking to treat him to an exclusive restaurant and had a Birthday cake and songs from the whole staff for him there include a wooden special photo frame which he can put my picture there in his work desk for ever hopefully.
Moreover, I sent him in early morning an E- Birthday card as he turn on his laptop he could see it and wrote some special things for him.
The first things worked so well and he loved it.
