This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

Personally I dismiss conlanging as a waste of time.
I'd rather expend my precious time on acquiring real-world languages such as French, or Japanese. Or Javascript, so to speak. :-)

It seems that Valentine's Day has got only some sentimental value, thanks to consumerism.
And, the particular modern Western secular tradition makes many people unnecessarily poignant. Isn't it so?

The world loads nearly everyone of us with a lot of information, almost compulsorily.
Besides, nearly everyone of us streams or downloads a lot of videos and audio clips.
That's a lot of traffic on the internet altogether.

It seems that many female pop singers take advantage of suggestive dancing movements to engage, stimulate, and mesmerize the audience.
Well, do you think that's sad or something?

Chillax, slow is cool.
I for one hope that slow medicine, as well as slow parenting, will take over.
My LG Nexus 5 phone faceplanted on the floor the other week.
Thanks to the rugged Ballistic brand phone case, the phone screen remained intact. That's called hardware investment.
My laptop's optical drive seems to be not capable to play the Blu-ray thingummy.
Well, I guess I'll shop around for a new one next year.

Stuffocation causes people stress from time to time, it seems.
Uncontrolled consumerism boosts greed among people's hearts. Isn't that right?
This website, stuffocation.org , urges you to de-stuffocate your life and your home.

There's a 'tomcat'. And there's a 'bobcat'.
There's a 'tomboy'. But there's no such a word as 'bobboy'.

Let's all hope that China's humongous economy is not going to become a debacle, seriously.
I for one have grown increasingly concerned.
The root cause is its distorted capital allocation schemes system, I suppose.

Man, nowadays so many young people simply abjure computing devices that are not made by Apple Inc.
On the other hand, is Apple sheerly a consumer computing Goliath?

Chromebook vs. Windows laptop may look like a David and Goliath comparison.
But the former has got significant potential to eventually win over the latter and dominate personal desktop computing for the mass, down the road.

You, as a boy or man, build, adjust, and titivate your hair style in front of the mirror.
That's your necessary grain of vanity.

The last name part of Mr. Desmond Tutu, 'Tutu', has nothing to do with the tutu worn by ballerinas at all.
According to http://www.ourbabynamer.com/meaning-of-Tutu.html , the name Tutu is of African origin and its meaning is 'cliff dweller'.

'Drunk', 'befuddled', 'intoxicated', ...
There are so many words to describe drunkenness in English.

What's the point of clamoring for a newer Android phone every two years?
Ah, the toxic consumeristic culture in North America.

Normally I feel more like coming in from the cold at a café than at a cafeteria.
Tim Horton's is a notable exception, though.
A 'smock' is a totally different thing than a 'smog'.
But it's not so much distinct from an 'apron'.

The English combining form 'nano-' is slightly larger than 'pico-'.
Now I know where the little text editor Nano stands in UNIX-like systems. Anyway, the somewhat venerable and light Pico text editor has ceased development long time ago.
I'm about to comb through a text tutorial on the Nano editor.

Snazzy OS X, formidably penetrating Windows, and deeply powerful Linux.
I choose the latter two for serious desktop computing. Which ones do you pick?

Personally I don't like the information deluge exacerbated by Facebook.
Unfortunately, Facebook has become the bridgehead for many businesses and people.
