the Odd call at Midnight

It happened at a few minutes past 0 o’clock today. I fell asleep at eleven these days, but I had the dharma course at the temple yesterday, and went home late, and slept late, so I could answer the call at 0, or I might have turned off the phone.

It really astounded me that the call was from my ex-manager. I answered the call soon because I was afraid the ring woke up my roommate.

She was crying! She said she was in the railway station and wanted to take the train to Guangzhou but it was too late for the last train, so she wanted to go to my home and slept for one night. Why not go she own home? –But I didn’t ask. I accepted that and asked her to take taxi here.

Changed my clothes, took the lift down. I have never been outside this late. The wind was a little cold. Later she appeared, not crying but I saw some tear. I took her home because she wanted to go toilet. After that, I said my bed was small and upper, so it was better for her to go to hotel. She agreed.

The first hotel we asked was full, the second I wanted to take her to was a little far away and she didn’t want. So we had to go the the hotel just in the building I live. I asked the price some days ago for another friend who might come to shenzhen, so I knew the price was a little high, so we didn’t ask it first. But she was willing to spend that money.

The problem was she didn’t take the ID card, without which she could not check in the hotel. I asked could it just use my ID card. The lady said no. Later she asked if I had the ID card with me. I said mine was upstairs in the building. She said oh you were the resident, so we could give you an exception. Then I took my ID card, and she checked in and stayed for one night.

This morning she called me, she took back the clothes which she took to my home to wash. Then she said she went home and tidied, then went back to her hometown, might not come here for a long time.

I still didn’t ask what happened…

Changed Her Nickname

I had written a post about her in the Chinese blog, there’s no need to talk again here. As named as Nazo in that post, which means mystery in Japanese.

When I was in Nepal, I said to the French girl that Nazo might be the only of my friends who remembered my birthday. After that I thought of another friend Bakamon must remember too. And after three days, one more friend Sammi said she strongly remembered that my birthday was 28! Oh, how happy I heart that!

1128 came three days ago. I received many Happy Birthday message from many friends who I didn’t think they remember! Of course Sammi did send to me. But Bakamon didn’t. Her birthday is quite similar with mine, which is 1218, so I had no doubt that she remembered 1128, but forgot that day was 1128. When I saw she was online in QQ in 1129, I chatted to her that “Hey! You forgot my birthday!” If not really friendly, I won’t said that. And as I thought, she was very busy that day…

Talk back to Nazo. I didn’t received her message. Well, disappointed but I should not care. But, she sent sms to me in 1129, saying didn’t I receive her sms yesterday? Oh, she remembered my birthday, just something wrong with the sms system so I didn’t get the sms. I was happy knowing that.

But before her sms came, I had changed her nickname to her real name…

Her nickname was named by me, and was used by me only. I had much much happy memory with her with this nickname. But day by day she changed. When I thought she didn’t remember my birthday, it was time for me to change the nickname to the real name in my mobile.

Even she finally said happy birthday to me, I didn’t change the real name back to the nickname…

Yeah! Took Another Friend to the Temple

I go to the temple every weekend. As a buddhist, I want more people know the Buddha Dharma. So I would be very happy if one of my friends ask me to take her to the temple. So far I just took three friends there in total.

Yesterday Yo-chan, one of my roommates, wanted to go to the temple to take the dharma course with me. So I took her there.

It was lucky that when we arrived the bus stop, the bus we were going to take arrived too.

We had dinner in the temple. After that we took the course. She was listening carefully. I explained some main dharma to her in the break time. On the bus back she asked for a dharma book to read.

It need quite a lot of LUCK to meet Buddha Dharma in this life. Now Yo-chan started to have the luck.

Just now she said to me that she may want to know more about the Buddhism. Yeah!

Scotch Tape and Lighter

Memo two lucky slight matters.

[1] That day I opened the big carton of my bike. It was sealed with scotch tape, which I cut to open. After that I had to seal the carton again, but I didn’t have any scotch tape. It happened that Lucy was leaving on a business trip, she present the induction cooker to one friend, and the friend came to take it. The friend took scotch tape with him to pack the carton of the induction cooker. So I was very lucky at the very moment that I could lend his!

[2] I am doing some moxibustion these days. When I got the moxa roll I didn’t have lighter to light it. And I asked my roommate whether she had one, surprisingly she had! The lighter was not the most normal one which could buy easily on the street, which I could not light well, but one very easy for me to light. LUCKY!

Be Invited (10/11~24/11)

[その一] Some days ago, a auntie phoned to me and asked whether I traveled back. Of course I did. I live near with her. I wanted to send her a postcard in Lhasa but she didn’t tell me the address. She would go out 2 hours later, but I took this chance to meet her. She was happy to meet me. We had some snack and talked about my trip…

[その二] At the same day, just after I came back from the auntie’s home and changed the clothes, a phone came, which was from an uncle, whom I sent a postcard to some days ago. He said  he received it, and by the way invited me to the Hi-Tech Fair. Changing clothes and combing the hairs, going out is a little trouble to me. So I was so happy that I could go out at the same day. The uncle lives near with me too. So I said I could go out at once, and he drove the car at once too and would arrive some minutes later.

The ticket was worth 50 yuan, someone presented some tickets to him. He usually went there for two or three times. The night he invited me to dinner.

[その 三] I am a little friend of some elders. Sometimes I went to their club-weekend-activity. And it was their XXth anniversary a week ago, I took my camera there and acted as the second cameraman. They were happy and invited me to their lunch. This lunch was different from the others they invited me before, because this time it was paid by their club funds, and I was not one of the members.

[その四] One auntie of the club, I am acquainted with her. Yesterday I went to the vacation villa, which she invited me to, with some of her friends, and stayed for one night. I went their once before, for my job. It is not a commercial villa, not anyone can just pay to go there. I was quite lucky to have this experience. And I acted as the cameraman again!

Wearing long sleeve blouse

Maybe it is the first time for me  wearing long sleeve blouse in September 3rd, such an early autumn day. I know that I must wear long sleeve when riding on the G318, but it may be hot on long sleeve when I am in ShenZhen and Chengdu. But I don’t want to take so much luggage with me since I am going to ride more than 2000km…

Luckily it was cool in ShenZhen yesterday, and it was not that uncomfortable wearing long sleeve. So I put on the blouse. What’s more, the air-conditioner is quite cool in the train even wearing on long sleeve. Thank Buddha! Give me luck and let me make a smart choice!

the Buddha help me to save money?

I am going to spend a lot of money in the new travel, which I am on the train to. My ticket is for a lower berth. The compartment neighbor is a mother with her child. Her ticket is for the upper berth which is not  convenient for them. She asked whether I would willing to change the berth with her, she would then pay me the price difference, which is some 30 yuan. I dealt it, “earned” a little money…

It was the second time today I spent less money than I should. Is the Buddha helping me to save money?

Oh, the first time to publish blog on the mobile. Let me see how the app works…

One Year Since I Confessed Myself

January 12th, 2010, which is a year ago today. I wrote a, say love letter?…, to that person at 10th and 11th, and sent it at 12th.

That person received that express letter at 14th. Well, that person has a exam tomorrow, maybe free at 14th and I can do something to commemorate the day?

The thing worth celebrating is that person will come to visit me in a week.

But it seems that I fall in like to two other persons now…? That person is still the first.
