Great quote

"If a person is not pretty at 20, not healthy at 30, not wealthy at 40, and not wise at 50, he will loose them forever."

一個人如果二十歲時不美麗, 三十歲時不健壯, 四十歲時不富有, 五十歲時不聰明, 就永遠失去這些了

劉墉

Translation #2:

"If a person has no beauty at 20, no health at 30, no wealth at 40, and no wisdom at 50, he will loose them forever."

被寵壞的人是不會對你好
"A Spoiled man/woman is never going to treat you right"

A woman’s difficult life is usually her own fault.
A sales lady, June, once told me this.

June was 28 years old, the time to think about marriage.
But she instead broke up with her engineer boyfriend after a visit to his house.

When she entered his house, his grandmother said her boyfriend’s backpack was too dirty so she washed it clean.

At that time, her gentle boyfriend turned to his grandmother and said angrily, “Next time don’t touch my stuff!”

In order to cool the situation, she said to the loving grandmother whom she was meeting for the first time, “Aw, next time he can do it himself.”

Not only did the grandmother not appreciate it, she scolded her (softly), “Let a man do the washing? This is a woman’s work!”

June later met her boyfriend’s mother. She was extremely smart and capable as a housewife, and also a great cook. Her house was spotless, so my friend complimented her. Immediately, her boyfriend replied, “Learn from my mom so you can cook delicious food for me.”

June smiled but didn’t respond. She was feeling uneasy as she remember what her boyfriend had told her before: “My dad has a mistress. Only my mom doesn’t know.”

After dinner, June helped do the dishes. Her boyfriend naturally smiled with satisfaction. He complimented her, “A hardworking woman is the most beautiful woman.”
And then sat down in the living room to watch NBA.

At this time, his mother came into the kitchen and sighed, “Our lives as a woman are difficult. Socially, we need to be a lady. In the house, we need to be a housewife, we need to know how to do everything. You must know this: in order to capture your husband’s heart, you need to first have his stomach!”

Naturally, she doesn’t know her husband’s heart is not with her.

“It’s not that I don’t have what it takes to be a lady and a housewife” June said. “But can’t men be responsible for their lives too? Why do they need to be spoiled like that?”

Because of all these, she refused her boyfriend’s marriage proposal three times.
Right after they broke up, her boyfriend immediately got married.

Although she is sad, in her heart she understands that it’s better to end it.
May be he found a girl who is more capable than she is.
She is sure, that woman certainly has a tough life.


「女人的辛苦,很多是自己找的。」
曾在一家電子公司擔任採購專員的秀君這麼說。

秀君二十八歲。正是考慮婚姻的年紀,
卻因為到工程師男友家拜訪而頭痛不已,考慮分手。

她一進門,男友的祖母就說,
男友有個布背包太髒,已經幫他洗乾淨了。

這時對她很溫柔的男友,竟然很兇的對祖母說:
「以後不要亂翻我的東西!」

秀君為了打圓場,對這第一次見面的慈祥祖母說:
「以後讓他自己洗就好了嘛。」

祖母不但不領情,還很溫和的教訓了她一句:
「怎麼可以讓男人洗東西?查某人該做的就要做。」

秀君發現男友的媽精明能幹,又是烹飪高手,
把家中弄得一塵不染,才讚美伯母一句,
男友馬上高興的接口說:
「妳以後要跟我媽好好學,煮好東西給我吃。」

秀君笑而不答,但心中已經有點發毛,
她想到男友曾經告訴她:
「我爸爸有外遇,就剩我媽不知道。」

吃完飯後,秀君幫忙洗碗,男友理所當然的對她投以滿意的微笑,
稱讚她「認真的女人最美麗」,
然後自己坐到客廳看NBA比賽。

這時男友的媽擠進了廚房,跟秀君感嘆:
「我們女人很辛苦,出外要當貴婦,在家要當主婦,
什麼都要會才行——
妳! 要知道,
要抓住丈夫的胃,才能抓住他的心哦。」

她果然不知道丈夫的心已經不在的事實。

「我不是沒有成為主婦加貴婦的條件,」
秀君說:
「可是男人難道不能人生責任自負嗎?一定要這樣被寵壞嗎?」

由於心結難解,顧慮太多,
男友向她求婚三次後,秀君一直沒有答應。

男友在一分手後閃電結婚了。

她雖然難過,但心中卻明白,就此緣盡沒什麼不好。

這位男友也許找到了一個比她更賢慧的女人吧。

她很確定,那個女人,一定很辛苦。

Eat Less Chicken!!

不論已婚或是未婚的女性同胞都要小心注意喔

最近朋友的朋友剛於子宮位置長了 (巧克力囊腫 ) ~就是最近藝人夏禕 / 胡晴雯開刀
割除的病 , 即是瘤內積滿血,血呈深黑色. 滿以為割 了之後會完全康復,殊不知短短幾個月間又再返發,
於是即往向婦科醫生求診. 醫生隨 即問她是否常吃雞翅,朋友的朋友感到十分愕然....
為何醫生會知道...... 原來雞的激素注射部位通常在雞翅/雞頸位,故此常吃雞翅
再加上女性荷爾蒙分泌 影響, 令到愛吃雞翅的女士們特別容易患上子宮部位的腫瘤,
故此奉勸大家少吃雞翅為妙.現今社會女性有80%都容易得到子宮肌留及巧克力囊腫,
真是可怕ㄚ

同時請各位朋友收到這個email時,請儘量轉寄給你們身邊所有男性及女性朋友,
謝謝!

Crime!

Allen's whole family went to Grand Canyon last week. They came back on Sunday and we found out that Allen's mom's office was flooded, so it stunk. We stayed up til 11 cleaning the carpet. The next day she went to the office and it still stunk, and more, the drain was clogged so the toilet doesn't work and over flowed.
so there were the plumbers, the carpet cleaners, the landlord and patients going in and out of the office, what a hectic day.

but on top of this, a thieve also came into the store. She pretended to be a customer, bought a couple of herbs. Now that I think of it, it was fishy. She was black, not dressed very nice, but made no fuss about spending $70 on two bottles of herbs when she has never had acupuncture before. So she was all asking us and patients about acupuncture and said her friend was on her way to get acupuncture and she wants to look. I'm not sure what she told Allen's mom, I was busy filing paper work.

Anyway, she hung around for about 2 hours. When she bought the herbs, she saw where Allen's mom put her purse since she had to take it out to give her change. Then she went to the bathroom like 4 times and everytime she said the toilet overflowed and wanted me to check. I did the first time, but then it wasn't wet. So I just ignored her when she told me the other times. and then I had to go next door to return something, took only about 30 seconds, and there she committed the crime. When I came back, she said "I'll come back to make an appointment." I was like oook... weird, why didn't she just make appointment now.. and where is her friend? but I didn't want to say something thinking that she's the customer and everything. But as soon as I turn into the office, I saw Allen's mom's purse hanging a little out of the 1/4 open drawer, and I thought, hm did Allen's mom leave the drawer open? I went to the room where she was working on a patient and asked her if she's got her wallet, and she said no. so we immediately rushed out to find the black woman. she was gone.

In the wallet was $300+ cash, 2 credit cards, DL, SScard, etc. I feel so freaking stupid being fooled by the black woman. It makes me think very badly of blacks now. Not being racist and all, but the last theft a couple months ago was also committed by a black man. After these 2 times, although Allen's mom needs to keep her purse locked, I can't help it but just watch out for black people who come into the office and have to ask myself if he/she could be another thieve.

Have ya'll seen Crash? Where Sandra Bullock saw the 2 black man on the street immediately held on to her husband's arm, and the black guys made a fuss about how white people always react to them because they're black. and then they turned out to be robbers.
