I for one don't like very much the fact that the U.S. society condones extreme competition at workplaces.

On a related note, google "逃离北上广" (a new phenomenon in China) if you like.

The works by the marketing and PR arms of Google Inc. are so understatedly elegant and enrapturing.

One of my friends once said I am a Google fan.

In order to compete in and contribute to this globalized world in this era which is post the democratization of computing, English fluency is no longer sufficient,

and a measure of real proficiency in informational apparatus (a.k.a. IT, if you will) is mandatory too, for average Joes and Janes.

The rapid advances or changes of the society can feel nipping sometimes.

That is a piteous conundrum that most of us are put in, I am afraid, my friend.

So far, the lyrics of The Shins are the hardest ones for me to understand, in the pop music of the English world.

But, man, they're such an excellent band. And the music and lyrics created and performed by them are really substantially poetic.

In some of her music videos, the apparitional Lady Gaga seems to be difficult to appreciate.

半島有事
大亂舞。
部署。
撲。

It has gradually been revealed that being with myself brings more than being myself does.
