『轉載』晚結婚並不可恥，沒有結婚也不丟人，結錯婚才是.......
I read this from Angela's blog.
晚結婚並不可恥，沒有結婚也不丟人，結錯婚才是........
套句邱議瑩的話：我沒結婚，但身心健全！
二十八、九歲那年，很想結婚，只是苦無合適的對象，你問我：什麼叫「合適」?
我想，或者說，自己真正想要的是什麼。
我認為，不太需要把擇偶條件1234......列張單子，貼在浴室的鏡子上，
每天照本宣科一番。選擇對象的標準並非放諸四海皆準，而是因人而異的。
曾有人問我：假如有一天，真有一位這麼好的弟兄站在你面前，妳小姐可配得上他？
驚聞此語，嚇得我全身冒汗！是呀，上帝為什麼要派一個好弟兄來受我的折磨呢？
所以諸君，預備自己成為一個合適的人，這是很重要的，我們挑別人，別人同樣也挑我們哪。
[成為合適的人] 如何預備自己？
學習做一個快樂的單身族。曾有高人指點我：你要能做一個快樂的小姐，
將來才有可能成為快樂的妻子（小姐、妻子換成單身漢、丈夫，同樣成立）。
HOW？
我個人的淺見和做法是：
(1)在工作上，專心致力，享受其中的愉悅，但別養成加班的習慣。
(2)在生活上，獨立自主，可以把自己照顧好。
(3)在經濟上，有計劃地存錢，有計劃地用錢。
(4)在情感上，與家人保持良好的關係，若有高堂老父老母，更要學習好好與他相處。相信我，這對你日後的婚姻生活大有助益。
家人之外，不要忘記朋友。要有能一起禱告的同伴，也要有可以一同吃喝玩樂的朋友，若能二合一，當然最好啦！
(5)每天打扮整齊，保持容光煥發。小姐們最好上點淡妝，不但使你快樂，也會增添你的自信。
(6)培養可持續一生之久的興趣和嗜好。我個人喜歡逛街、看書、聽古典音樂、種花、看電影、看話劇、旅行。
(7)健身。別誤會，我不是要你練成一身蟠龍糾結的肌肉，然後擦滿油，亮光光油滋滋地展示自己，而是請你保持健康的身體。
其實這是我近日的心得，年紀大了，才發現健康真的很重要，沒有健康，一切免談。
談到這裡，大概有人要說：既然單身可以如此快樂，那就不必結婚了，何苦多找麻煩？
我結婚至今五年四個月零五天，個人的感受是：
單身有單身的好，結婚有結婚的妙，兩者是人生不同的階段，如果上帝都賞賜給你，何不好好享受呢！
但如果沒有婚姻，一生都做個快樂的單身貴族，也是美事！ 那麼，幾歲結婚最好呢？
我有個姐姐廿六歲結婚，咱家我結婚時已卅六歲，我們都嫁得很好，過得很快活。所以我認為，幾歲結婚不太重要，重要的是嫁對人（或娶對人)。
寧可找對人，快快活活的過十年，也不要被愛情沖昏頭，或在各種強大的壓力下，隨便抓一個就步上紅毯，卻悽悽慘慘的捱卅年。
晚結婚並不可恥，沒有結婚也不丟人，結錯婚才是萬劫不復。

RIP unhappy haircut.. well, it will grow back, not soon enough!!
I thought about getting a haircut on 6.13.07, tested the water on the 4th with the girls, and made a too-bold decision on 7.14.07, now I am missing the old days with the very unmanageable tangling mess. Check out Miss J's unhappy entry.
Funny, I just spotted silver L from space-needle-town in the pic as well. I will be working with him in the next several month on a capital project, I am hoping to learn a bunch from this WE expert!!!

I want to buy...
Pal Richard is giving me some advise about real estate investment, check out this article about housing bubble. Frankly, he is not the only one having factual concerns about the housing markets, I came across several discussions with various folks about buying my next home. Selling and buying houses has been quite a learning experience for me and it's the right time for that to happen.

Noodles Fever
Did we do that? Why?
Hot Fuzz at LaurelHurst on Friday nite!
Pinki, Miss J and BoringFish got crazy & were determined to save $ on shampoo, so we set out to have a road trip to hippie town, just so that we could donate $$$$ to the haircut fund of Hakumi. The result: all 3 of us vowed not to go there again, you can figure that out! The flip side of the trip, well we had very yummy ramen for lunch.
Curry Katsu and Chang-Pong Katsu Ramen
Miss J and I went to WA.SQ afterward, we got cheese cake and some very sexy clothes before we headed back to mom's to get dinner and have mama's beauty hair treatment. She has this very unique recipe to color her hair, which uses olive oil, tea, coffee, vinegar and other secret super ingredients!
Oil change today. My civic was begging for one.

Chopping board
Shock wave just came thru as we had another round of organizational changes. Wouldn’t be a good sign if they kept on changing their minds? The mills unique identity has been what I was worry about the most since my transfer. I thought being reshuffle within the organization for the 4th time in May was the last change for the year. Not so quick!
People are definitely shaken by the retirement news of Bill. Folks are all worry about being named on the chopping board as the company looking at ways to reduce head count.

Transformers
Transformers was a good movie with lots of actions and I felt for the robots when their arms or body got ripped off. I think the 5 of us really enjoyed it. Overall, the animation was very good. I tried very hard to recall my childhood with this cartoon, I seemed to have no distinct memory of that, but Miss J and D, even little Andrew and Brian have a working knowledge of Transformers.

Fantastic work week 28
U can't deny that we already have a best quarter even if PM1 did not win the best of the quarter award. June 's # came out and congraulation to us, we broke the speed record again, 3 months straight, can't wait to see the 45 and get my free lunch/dinner! My cost and chemical optimization were slightly improved in June. I still have some work to do but I really think July is a great start already. My biocide trial is online and running well, so far. The bugs were in trouble and that's how I roll. KILL KILL KILL all biomass!
Overall, I have a lot to be happy for at work. I got reassign and now I am more involved on PM2 as well as my regular responsibilities at PM1. I am working closely with THE KILLER Bs (Husky Biridi, Brian & Perry B), things are really on the up side for me, if u knew me a year ago, I was just a baby in the formen leauge and working my behind off for some wishful, dreamy promotion that I would never got.
Great news, in May we got the bronze SMT award, in August, NP will be presented by SMT, the Gold award, the highest safety recognition in Big-W. I am so proud to be part of this. well. I did my part for the last 9 months! I can't tell u enough of how happy I am professionally!
I still have lots of trials to run for the rest of the year. Next week I will be learning about "turd" in chemcial terms.....it will be so exciting to study about the inferior product and gel ball! Can't wait to see why runnabilities were crap from the gel balls on 2 and not on 1.
On the teaching side, I failed. Tommy did not do exceptionally in AP, but his parents reassured me that I am the reason why he passed the class, well, the report was NOT in yet. We shall see.

Fashion spread
In my quest to shop for a computer, I did managed to replace my stolen stereo and come to a decision of how to proceed.
After lunch, shopping was terminated and I got a beauty treatment instead.
J had her knife out and practice her cutting skills on S and BoringFish's hair. Then BoringFish received a makeover where she was painted for the holiday. Following the makeover, we had a glamor shot secton.
Firework was mostly out of sight but there were many locals who had invested in impressive fire power.

常識分享
ITs are cutting me off so I am cleaning my inbox. Have some junks to share!
一、不吃早餐:不吃早餐不僅會傷害腸胃，使人感到疲倦、胃部不適和頭痛，還特別 容易產生膽結石，同時又極易催人老化。
二、空腹跑步：空腹跑步會增加心臟和肝臟的負擔，而且極易引發心律不整，甚至導致猝死。五十歲 以上的人，由於利用機體內游離脂肪酸的能力與年輕人相比要低得多，因此其發生意外的危險性更大。
三、用滾開水泡茶:用滾開水泡茶會破壞茶葉中的維生素Ｃ。泡茶最好用７０－８０攝氏度的白開水，這種水溫泡制出來的茶水最有益於人體健康。
四、睡前不刷牙：睡前不刷牙危害很大。國外防疫專家研究認為晚上睡前經常不刷牙者，特別容易患感冒和肺炎，也特別容易造成牙齒腐壞、牙齦出血、牙周病，乃至牙齒脫落。
五、睡前不洗臉:睡前不洗臉面部皮膚上的化妝品和污垢會刺激皮膚、堵塞腺體或毛孔，損害皮膚健康。
六、用油漆筷子吃飯：油漆含多種對人有害的化學物質，其中的硝基成分被吸收後，會與含氯乙胺的物質合成具有強力致癌作用的亞硝胺。
七、魚刺卡喉後喝醋：醋非但不能的排除魚刺，相反還會引起粘膜蝕傷、食管水腫。
八、藥片掰開服用：藥片掰開後會出現棱角而不利於吞嚥，易損傷食管和腸胃。
九、餐桌上鋪塑料布：塑料布是由含毒的游離體聚氯乙烯樹脂制成的，餐具經常接觸這種有毒物質會使人慢性中毒。
十、醉酒後飲濃茶：茶中的咖啡鹼與酒精反應產生不良作用，加重醉酒人的痛苦。
男女都該看的健康常識MP
常吃香雞排和麻辣鍋容易掉頭髮?
你相信常吃香雞排和麻辣鍋容易掉頭髮嗎？許多人逛街時常常嘴饞，或者因為趕時間而喜歡吃雞排，聞到雞排香味就忍不住掏腰包買一份來吃；而寒流的來臨吹得人冷颼颼，再加上現代人飲食口味重，因此麻辣火鍋於雨後春筍般地成立，愈來愈多人愛上吃麻辣鍋，偶爾吃這些是不打緊，但常常吃的人最好有個心理準備，吃多了很容易掉頭髮喔！
吃多了這些刺激性強的食物，再加上過於油膩對於頭髮的生長會產生不良的影響，甚至會直接造成落髮。許多人非常注意保養髮質，甚至喜歡買昂貴的洗髮和護髮用品，卻沒想到飲食和生活習慣對頭髮的影響也很大！許多人因為工作和生活壓力大，又喜歡通宵達旦地熬夜，而偏重口味的飲食就使得維生素的攝取量減少了很多。雖說頭髮會新陳代謝，每天梳頭時掉一點是正常的，但是當你的生活與飲食習慣過於偏差時, 會因攝取過量的油脂性食物，使得皮脂腺分泌過於旺盛而阻塞，此時頭髮不掉也難囉！除此之外，吃太辣的東西會造成髮質乾枯，而菸酒過多則會讓流經頭皮微血管的血液循環不良。要是你嫌頭髮太多、髮質太好，那就儘量放縱自己吧，只是過沒多久，你可能會悔不當初喔！
身體太累易招蚊引蟲
每當你和一群朋友在一起聚餐聊天時；或是在任何地方，常常莫名其妙的，蚊子特別喜歡咬你，而不去攻擊別人。其實，那是因為你的身體已經非常疲勞，血液變成酸性，且鼻中所呼出去的二氧化碳的濃度非常高，此二氧化碳在你的頭上約四呎的地方，形成一股潮濕溫暖的氣流，吸引蚊子來襲擊你。這表示你的身體已不堪負荷，應該馬上回家休息了，不要再透支體力，以免造成更大的問題。美國科學家的實驗，當捕蚊器放在屋外的庭院，平均每個晚上可以捕捉殺死八萬雙蟲子，但其中卻只有少數幾隻蚊子，換句話說補蚊器對蚊子是沒有什麼用的。至於普通的煙蚊香及電蚊香，僅能稍稍驅趕蚊子，仍然有被咬的可能，並沒有廣告說的那麼神奇。而噴防蚊液在身體上，由於其中所含的化學成份，反而是防止蚊子叮咬較有效的方法。
多吃梅子可殺菌兼改善體質喔!
你一定不知道有百分之八十五的痛風、高血壓、癌症、高脂血症患者，都是酸性血液體質吧？！正常人的血液反應應是呈現弱鹼性，要想讓酸性血液淨化，使它回復成弱鹼性，除了多吃鹼性反應的食物之外，還可以多吃梅子來改善體質！有專家指出，多吃梅子除了可以殺菌之外，還可以淨化酸性體質的血液喔！像砂糖、肉、米和酒等都酸性食品，宜少吃。要不然就要多喝鮮奶乳，多吃海藻類、蔬菜類和酸梅等鹼性食品來中和體質。比方說：你要是吃進100克的蛋黃(酸性食品)，那就得吃上1200克的洋蔥或400克的甘藍菜才能達中和的效果！但若以吃酸梅來改善時，卻只要吃5克就行了，因為酸梅含有充分的鈣、鈉、磷和鐵等成分，由此可見它是具有強效的鹼性食品，想要改善體質，一點也不難喔！
喝熱牛奶真能治失眠?
人老了，就容易失眠！過去一般人多以為喝杯熱牛奶的可助眠，事實上，這反而會讓頭腦更清醒，醫師指出，想要助眠，不妨適量補充一些甜食，如甜糕餅、八寶粥或喝杯蜂蜜、果汁等，但是糖尿病者並不適合食用醣類，可適量食用澱粉類食物。另外保持規律性睡眠、少用咖啡和茶、睡張好床、不抽菸、少喝酒、卸下煩憂、不要太餓和經常運動，也都是助眠良方。不過，在早上為了讓頭腦保持清醒，除了多呼吸新鮮空氣，則可以吃些雞蛋、低脂牛奶、全麥麵包等食物。隨年齡增加，人的身體也跟著逐漸老化，老年人無論在生理或心理上，都應該多加注意，擁有健康的觀念，若要做好「健康促進」工作，生理方面應注意營養、運動、睡眠和自我照顧；尤其是較肥胖者，營養與日常飲食方面應稍做控制，防止罹病或疾病惡化、並且常作運動，如氣功、太極拳、快走或游泳等都很適合。所以，要身體健康，運動還是很重要的啦！
絕對不要將衛生棉放在浴室裡
婦產科醫生說：絕對不要將衛生棉放在浴室裡，即使你沒將包裝打開，因為所有的包裝不是真空密封，所以浴室裡的水汽會進入單片包裝裡，即使放個二三天都會因為浴室裡的潮濕熱氣，使衛生棉容易有黴菌的滋生。
巧克力入口情緒就變好了
每次月經來的前幾天，林小姐變得情緒不穩、焦慮緊張、胸部腫脹、頭痛、睡不好，注意力也沒辦法集中。可是月經一來，這些症狀就消失無蹤了，這就是PMS（經前症候群）。PMS通常在二十多歲後半或三十歲出頭開始，四十歲是高峰期，然後持續到更年期為止。截至目前的研究，PMS總是出現在月經來潮前四至十四天之間，與月經週期血液中的荷爾蒙有關。另外，據美國貝勒醫學院內分泌教授鍾正芳的研究，PMS可能與血液內鋁太高、硒太低有關。種族、婚姻狀況教育程度與PMS無關，倒是朝九晚五的上班族、飲酒、生過小孩的婦女是好發族群！
當PMS來襲時，女人通常會很想吃甜食，尤其是巧克力。說也奇怪，巧克力入口，她們的情緒就變好了。為什麼巧克力可以緩解PMS呢？麻省裡工學院的研究人員指出，巧克力可以提高腦內血清素(Serotonin)的濃度，而血清素愈多，就愈快樂。除巧克力外，梅子、番茄、鳳梨、胡桃、也可增加血清素，達到控制PMS的目的，熱量又不太高。但一次大量吃巧克力，可能會因巧克力中的大量單糖進入體內，刺激胰島素大量分泌，使血糖驟降，不妨改吃慕斯、冰淇淋、奶昔、優格、脫脂牛奶。而麵食、全麥麵包、麥片、烤蕃薯，因為造成高血糖的速度比單糖（巧克力）慢，不致使胰島素大量分泌，亦可一試。維他命B6是血清素合成所需之輔助因子，富含維他命B6之食物，有鮭魚、牛肉、豬肉鮪魚、鱷梨等。罹患PMS的女人想必都曾有經歷身體浮腫、腳腫、乳房腫脹疼痛之經驗，這是因為身體無法把多餘鹽分排出體外，連帶的把水分囤積在體內，這時妳必須戒鹽，如醃黃瓜、醬油、煙燻食物、醃製品，盡量不要碰。
一、不吃早餐:不吃早餐不僅會傷害腸胃，使人感到疲倦、胃部不適和頭痛，還特別 容易產生膽結石，同時又極易催人老化。
二、空腹跑步：空腹跑步會增加心臟和肝臟的負擔，而且極易引發心律不整，甚至導致猝死。五十歲 以上的人，由於利用機體內游離脂肪酸的能力與年輕人相比要低得多，因此其發生意外的危險性更大。

九、餐桌上鋪塑料布：塑料布是由含毒的游離體聚氯乙烯樹脂制成的，餐具經常接觸這種有毒物質會使人慢性中毒。
十、醉酒後飲濃茶：茶中的咖啡鹼與酒精反應產生不良作用，加重醉酒人的痛苦。

常吃香雞排和麻辣鍋容易掉頭髮?
你相信常吃香雞排和麻辣鍋容易掉頭髮嗎？許多人逛街時常常嘴饞，或者因為趕時間而喜歡吃雞排，聞到雞排香味就忍不住掏腰包買一份來吃；而寒流的來臨吹得人冷颼颼，再加上現代人飲食口味重，因此麻辣火鍋於雨後春筍般地成立，愈來愈多人愛上吃麻辣鍋，偶爾吃這些是不打緊，但常常吃的人最好有個心理準備，吃多了很容易掉頭髮喔！
吃多了這些刺激性強的食物，再加上過於油膩對於頭髮的生長會產生不良的影響，甚至會直接造成落髮。許多人非常注意保養髮質，甚至喜歡買昂貴的洗髮和護髮用品，卻沒想到飲食和生活習慣對頭髮的影響也很大！許多人因為工作和生活壓力大，又喜歡通宵達旦地熬夜，而偏重口味的飲食就使得維生素的攝取量減少了很多。雖說頭髮會新陳代謝，每天梳頭時掉一點是正常的，但是當你的生活與飲食習慣過於偏差時, 會因攝取過量的油脂性食物，使得皮脂腺分泌過於旺盛而阻塞，此時頭髮不掉也難囉！除此之外，吃太辣的東西會造成髮質乾枯，而菸酒過多則會讓流經頭皮微血管的血液循環不良。要是你嫌頭髮太多、髮質太好，那就儘量放縱自己吧，只是過沒多久，你可能會悔不當初喔！
身體太累易招蚊引蟲
每當你和一群朋友在一起聚餐聊天時；或是在任何地方，常常莫名其妙的，蚊子特別喜歡咬你，而不去攻擊別人。其實，那是因為你的身體已經非常疲勞，血液變成酸性，且鼻中所呼出去的二氧化碳的濃度非常高，此二氧化碳在你的頭上約四呎的地方，形成一股潮濕溫暖的氣流，吸引蚊子來襲擊你。這表示你的身體已不堪負荷，應該馬上回家休息了，不要再透支體力，以免造成更大的問題。美國科學家的實驗，當捕蚊器放在屋外的庭院，平均每個晚上可以捕捉殺死八萬雙蟲子，但其中卻只有少數幾隻蚊子，換句話說補蚊器對蚊子是沒有什麼用的。至於普通的煙蚊香及電蚊香，僅能稍稍驅趕蚊子，仍然有被咬的可能，並沒有廣告說的那麼神奇。而噴防蚊液在身體上，由於其中所含的化學成份，反而是防止蚊子叮咬較有效的方法。
多吃梅子可殺菌兼改善體質喔!
你一定不知道有百分之八十五的痛風、高血壓、癌症、高脂血症患者，都是酸性血液體質吧？！正常人的血液反應應是呈現弱鹼性，要想讓酸性血液淨化，使它回復成弱鹼性，除了多吃鹼性反應的食物之外，還可以多吃梅子來改善體質！有專家指出，多吃梅子除了可以殺菌之外，還可以淨化酸性體質的血液喔！像砂糖、肉、米和酒等都酸性食品，宜少吃。要不然就要多喝鮮奶乳，多吃海藻類、蔬菜類和酸梅等鹼性食品來中和體質。比方說：你要是吃進100克的蛋黃(酸性食品)，那就得吃上1200克的洋蔥或400克的甘藍菜才能達中和的效果！但若以吃酸梅來改善時，卻只要吃5克就行了，因為酸梅含有充分的鈣、鈉、磷和鐵等成分，由此可見它是具有強效的鹼性食品，想要改善體質，一點也不難喔！
喝熱牛奶真能治失眠?
人老了，就容易失眠！過去一般人多以為喝杯熱牛奶的可助眠，事實上，這反而會讓頭腦更清醒，醫師指出，想要助眠，不妨適量補充一些甜食，如甜糕餅、八寶粥或喝杯蜂蜜、果汁等，但是糖尿病者並不適合食用醣類，可適量食用澱粉類食物。另外保持規律性睡眠、少用咖啡和茶、睡張好床、不抽菸、少喝酒、卸下煩憂、不要太餓和經常運動，也都是助眠良方。不過，在早上為了讓頭腦保持清醒，除了多呼吸新鮮空氣，則可以吃些雞蛋、低脂牛奶、全麥麵包等食物。隨年齡增加，人的身體也跟著逐漸老化，老年人無論在生理或心理上，都應該多加注意，擁有健康的觀念，若要做好「健康促進」工作，生理方面應注意營養、運動、睡眠和自我照顧；尤其是較肥胖者，營養與日常飲食方面應稍做控制，防止罹病或疾病惡化、並且常作運動，如氣功、太極拳、快走或游泳等都很適合。所以，要身體健康，運動還是很重要的啦！
絕對不要將衛生棉放在浴室裡
婦產科醫生說：絕對不要將衛生棉放在浴室裡，即使你沒將包裝打開，因為所有的包裝不是真空密封，所以浴室裡的水汽會進入單片包裝裡，即使放個二三天都會因為浴室裡的潮濕熱氣，使衛生棉容易有黴菌的滋生。
巧克力入口情緒就變好了
每次月經來的前幾天，林小姐變得情緒不穩、焦慮緊張、胸部腫脹、頭痛、睡不好，注意力也沒辦法集中。可是月經一來，這些症狀就消失無蹤了，這就是PMS（經前症候群）。PMS通常在二十多歲後半或三十歲出頭開始，四十歲是高峰期，然後持續到更年期為止。截至目前的研究，PMS總是出現在月經來潮前四至十四天之間，與月經週期血液中的荷爾蒙有關。另外，據美國貝勒醫學院內分泌教授鍾正芳的研究，PMS可能與血液內鋁太高、硒太低有關。種族、婚姻狀況教育程度與PMS無關，倒是朝九晚五的上班族、飲酒、生過小孩的婦女是好發族群！
當PMS來襲時，女人通常會很想吃甜食，尤其是巧克力。說也奇怪，巧克力入口，她們的情緒就變好了。為什麼巧克力可以緩解PMS呢？麻省裡工學院的研究人員指出，巧克力可以提高腦內血清素(Serotonin)的濃度，而血清素愈多，就愈快樂。除巧克力外，梅子、番茄、鳳梨、胡桃、也可增加血清素，達到控制PMS的目的，熱量又不太高。但一次大量吃巧克力，可能會因巧克力中的大量單糖進入體內，刺激胰島素大量分泌，使血糖驟降，不妨改吃慕斯、冰淇淋、奶昔、優格、脫脂牛奶。而麵食、全麥麵包、麥片、烤蕃薯，因為造成高血糖的速度比單糖（巧克力）慢，不致使胰島素大量分泌，亦可一試。維他命B6是血清素合成所需之輔助因子，富含維他命B6之食物，有鮭魚、牛肉、豬肉鮪魚、鱷梨等。罹患PMS的女人想必都曾有經歷身體浮腫、腳腫、乳房腫脹疼痛之經驗，這是因為身體無法把多餘鹽分排出體外，連帶的把水分囤積在體內，這時妳必須戒鹽，如醃黃瓜、醬油、煙燻食物、醃製品，盡量不要碰。
