Start of my blogging life

Maybe March 4th is just an ordinary day to most people, but to me
I happened to find my lost blogger identity back today. What a surprise, I mean, in the oceans of web sites to have something lost back. I have been reading a lot, and NOW I decide to do my own blogging and make it part of my life.

Yesterday I got a call from my college classmate Wu. He works in a small town about 3 hours away from my city of Hangzhou, China. We havn't met for almost 11 years. And we do make phone calls, but very randomly. And the it goes all like," hello, how's going" stuff. But this call almost lasted an hour. Some very secret life of him it was. He was in the beginning of 30s, which can't be a problem at all in other countries not to get married yet at this OLD age. But in China, except some big cities, this has become a very embarrassing condition really. Whoever you meet, after some questions about your career and health, usually this question follows, when are you going to find your bride. How harsh it is to stop their friendly smiles and caring eyes.
Wu, as he said, was arranged to meet a girl by his own parents wishing to have grandchild eagerly. They were good friends of her parents. So they voluteered to work as marrymaker.( My god! I thought China has lost this tradition for a long,long time. And I am completely wrong.) Pressed so hard, my friend had to make good contacts, but he shyly admitted, he kind of thought of her like a baby sister. He didn't even feel like holding hands with her, let alone other intimate gestures, like, haha. He is more crushed on another girl, who sadly wouldn't become 'the extra third-party'. It's Sophie's choice, chinese version.
I comforted him and welcomed him to run away to my place for some relaxation out of this love dilemma. And do you guess what? He, in a very pleasant tone, wanted to introduce his real love to me. Why, " because you are my best friend and you are still available"

Thank you, Wu.

Another good friend of me, Dong, is similarly OLD. But he is a firm no-marriagism. Today he confessed during MSN conversation, 99% because of the fact he's converted to Buddhism. He has PhD and works as Computer teacher. And Dong continued' how about you, then?'

Yes, how about me?
