Employment is consensual.

How many harpies are there in the world?

Dimwits disrespect others for nothing.

Unto the end of our life each one of us goes.

A mature man gets less deceived than a green one.

This modern society has become almost unable to fit marriage.

How many percentage of men are housebroken in Canada? :-)

As years pass by, things that I never conceived are happening.

A lot is said about one's future by his embrace and exploration of new things and ideas.

Well, it's said that Demi Moore likes toyboys.

I would say it takes at least 10 years for a Mainland Chinese immigrant to acquaint himself with the Western society.

Unfortunately, the Western society has increasingly become a sadder one.

Memory is like a laundry hamper.

You put your life's mistakes in it, and then take them out and wash them.

One's available time usually doesn't consent to his ambitions and goals.

Sometimes music really chimes in with life.

Life is short. If one has conceit, then his world is deemed to be small.

The world seems to be always in the embrace of crises.

Doesn't every man want to try a stepford wife? :-)

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stepford_Wives .

Dumb animals cannot communicate and develop their needs, thoughts, and feelings through language.

How unfortunate they are.

Women who are dressed to the nines know what they are doing and after. Men should know that, too.

It seems that knowing to be feminine is a gift.

J wants to impart so many words to L.

What's in the Muslim world over yonder?

I for one really don't know how China, after its emergence as a global economic superpower, if you will, can really chime in with its values in the international dialogue.

You can sense if a girl has conceit and vanity.

There's no perfect country in this world which suits every need of every person.

I like Canada, in part.

Wow, Southeast Asia's population embraces 600 million people.

刘备 is a gracious figure in ancient Chinese history, isn't he?

Probably unprecedented happiness awaits J down the road, after all those somewhat dark and struggling years.

The hallowed English language is the universal language across the world. But it isn't the prettiest.

Taking on extra work needs a lot of time.

Do the Chinese, as a people, know how to live a wholesome life?

I don't think that in the society at large, men and women chime well together nowadays.

One must always be prepared to brace himself for yet another disappointment in life.

If a country makes its own citizens feel many of their rights reduced or taken away, then they probably would flee abroad.

Life will have unprecedented chapters.

"A mote it is to trouble the mind's eye."

In almost every excellent movie, their music chimes well with their stories and emotions.

Western politicians must be almost always prepared to be braced and grilled in their parliaments.

People had better ignore the crowing of some economists in China.

Some of them don't have a clue, and some others are bought off, I'm afraid.

Across the Middle East and North Africa, Muslim sovereignties get chided for lack of democracy, by their own people.

Will this new wave of democratization in the Islam world unleash new economic gains for the whole world?

Compared to traditional Mainland Chinese, Americans and Canadians are apt to be extravagant consumers.

One of their fundamental assumptions seems to be that happiness can be bought with money.

Outside the confines of China, there are things unimaginable for many Chinese.

With ballpoint pens so cheap and convenient, I don't know why people should use fountain pens.

"With freedom comes responsibility."

Individuals are unprecedentedly free nowadays, so their life is unprecedentedly complex.

Is the world mostly a vagrant always pursuing material satisfaction?

It's wise to plan and brace oneself for the Winter.

Woh, Ms. Melissa Ann Shepard, the famous Canadian "Internet black widow", has pleaded guilty.

See http://www.cbc.ca/news/story/2013/06/10/ns-internet-black-widow-trial.html .

J tries to hie home before the dusk falls.

G. X. is erring.

Rational people look at precedents.

With each night and then the daybreak, there comes new freedom to act.

In the past, summonses were issued by feudal authorities. Now they're by courts and judges.

Google and Amazon are braced by the flourishing of Linux. Microsoft is not.

Some securities analysts

Roosters crew, the sun didn't move.

"Alas, my love, you do me wrong". How elegantly written.

Who doesn't like majestic trees?

Now I know that "pike" is the name of one of the ancient weapons which I often saw in movies.

Here goes a very warlike picture of pikemen:

Everyone has his own moments of feeling powerless and helpless.

The trifecta of desktop OS, web, and mobile OS has grown complex.

I vote for open source.

Canada and the U.S. must be more forestal than Europe, I guess?

J arrived in Canada. And J embraces the freedom to do what he wants to.

Life gets stricken by misfortunes. It's inevitable.

But one becomes better with ill fortunes.

There are many extortive forces working against civilians in undemocratic countries.

The hand towels sold at Dollarama aren't bad nowadays.

There must be myriad of companies, large and small, which will waylay Google.

Microsoft and Amazon probably are the two most formidable ones among them.

By contrast, the tiniest among them are DuckDuckGo (2 employees), and even smaller, Newsblur (1 person, see the "Who" section at http://www.newsblur.com/about ). :-)

Apple Inc. is such a gigantic hoarder of money.

Scratch pads are always needed by people.

They are made of paper in the past, while they are digital nowadays.

Things in the mobile computing sphere are clearer nowadays than several years ago.

I think that even for average consumers, it's probably a mistake for them to brace their own mobile life in the walled garden of Apple's ecosystem.

Now more and more people must have foreknown that Microsoft will be in big trouble.

The mammoth trouble for the Redmond giant doesn't come from Apple, IMHO, it comes from Linux, as well as cheap DIY hardware.

I'm not privy to the licenses of open source software programs, but I rely on those applications much more than on proprietary ones.

Well, I used to think Fila is an American brand name.

But in fact it had been an Italian one, and now it's a Korean company headquartered in Seoul, Korea. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fila_(company).

There's a lot of corporate flimflam in this world.

"The credits have been added to your account," the girl at Domino's Pizza said.

"How much credit?" J asked.

Well, I'm surprised by the fact that Montreal's metropolitan area has a larger population than Cincinnati's.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal.

IT has always been in a state of flux.

I've always been fond of the RSS segment of internet browsing.

Many people say that Twitter and other social media replace RSS/Atom feeds. I beg to disagree.

Due to the increasingly omnipresent food chain pollution and food safety problems, will China be blasted by cancers and diseases?

Lo and behold, it's almost midnight again.

Taking care of a toddler is very time-consuming.

What makes the whole Japanese nation not to sully their own streets and to keep them almost squeaky-clean all the time?

J's apt to gag when a dental professional opens his mouth with a tool.

Not a year has passed by with ease in my life.

It's a good thing.

Some souls embrace freedom because they embrace life.

When I fire up an incantatory Unix-like command-line, I feel excited.

Oh, those commands as magic words.

The cooking segment of life is crucial, especially in today's world full of junk food.

Shouldn't students get taught some culinary skills in school?

Is Google still blasting forward as in the good old days?

The French part of Canada is always different.

Behold, France is considered to be a representative democratic republic.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_France.

Strictly speaking, the U.S.A. is a republic, not just a democracy.

Particularly tedious is taking care of the RSS segment of information consumption.

GNU/Linux screams out to be the primary computing platform.

Our microwave oven shrieks many times every single day.

I hope the particular kitchen appliance is really safe.

I think that every young person should watch some good movies.

Because there are no harbingers of what living a life is in textbooks.

Web applications are never like native client software programs.

I used to prefer the former to the latter, but now the contrary is true since Google Inc. consecutively pulled the plug on its multiple web applications, including Google Reader.

The web's dominant pioneer, Google, has changed significantly. That means the web has changed, for now.

Michael Jackson's singing voice tends to be a little squeaky.

I'm sorry. But I personally think that it will take China till doomsday to eclipse the U.S.A.

Anger can make people, both men and women, roar with words.

Almost all the computing gadgets and associated accessories, whose colour is sheer white, scream out to remind people that the products are Apple wannabes.

Personally I prefer ale to lager, most of the time.

However, it's alleged that lager, instead of ale, its precursor, dominates the world in terms of beer consumption.

To my surprise, Boréale is a microbrewery little known outside Quebec. I used to think it's a well known big brewery.

Its red beer is called Rousse.

Personally I find some violin music quite soothing.
