炒了一大锅蛋炒饭，眼看着可以吃好几顿，可今天实在不想再吃蛋炒饭了。于是千辛万苦地走去一家韩国餐馆，点了一个beef, rice and mixed vegetables. 满心欢喜地等他上菜。结果，天呢，就是蛋炒饭，仅比我炒的多了几粒牛肉。想哭啊！勉强吃了几口，打包回来，剩下的有可以再多吃2顿。看着一共可以吃5顿的蛋炒饭，我真的什么胃口也没有了。

 

By the way，终于攀上75斤，向下一个目标努力。可是这蛋炒饭。。。要知道，如果我不努力，体重就会下降，非常努力，才能有所上升。看看明天的形式，不想吃了，要学会“放弃”。

The tree outside my window suddenly changes its color. The fall already occupies Philly, and made me put on my sweater today. I love this season, late summer and early fall. It is comfortable, not to mention that my sweet birthday is in this season (I really had the most unforgetable birthday this year, and the mid-autumn festival). I think I really love Philadelphia. It is not as exciting as NYC, not comfortable as California, but it is also not overwhelming. It is plain, but has everything I want for a lovely life, except xxxxxs size clothes and shoes:)

 

This evening, I went to a concert given by the Philadelphia Orchetra. The Philadelphia Orchestra is really one of the best Orchestra in the world! And the music Hall is great. You will never need to worry about overdressing there. Good news for my pretty dresses my mum bought for me:) The Haydn episode was beautiful. "Concerto for Orchestra" by a 20th century composer was very interesting. The idea was to give every instrument a solo, so as its name, it is really "for orchestra". With the help of the screen, I began to recognize some beautiful sound. Well, I am not a fan of classical music, but I can also feel its beauty.

 

After the intermission, the director gave a speech about why we need to go to the live concert. He said, it is different for you to come alone or with your friends. After such a concert, your relationship will become different, because you share such great experience. Kind of make me sad. Yeah, people around me came with their friends, but I came alone. Well, I tried to invite people with me, for three times. Maybe I should have tried harder. The only good thing for me was that I could find a good seat very easily.

 

There is one more thing that Philly lacks, you, my dear old friends. If you were here, you definitely would have accompanied me, defintely. And we do not need to wait in the queue outside the auditorium for more than half an hour. And the expense is surprisingly low, $25 a year unlimited concerts for college students! See what I am doing? I am trying to lure you to Penn:) Add oil, my friends, let's see what will happen next March or April.

 

 

I feel myself more and more like a kid, especially now. Although this special day just started, I think I have already tasted the sweetest part of it. For a kid, the happiest time is not the new year itself, but the moments before it. Looking forward to wear beautiful new clothes, nice food, homework-free play time... The moment for waiting something nice to happen, is the happiest one. And these days, I have already experienced that.

 

I ate the mooncakes sent by my dear friends from HK two days ago. I really felt warm and almost cried when I got the package. I received best wishes from my parents, my sister and my friends. My "fake Daddy" planned some outdoor activities seriously to celebrate this day -- even if we did not really go out, I would still feel happy just  like in heaven.

 

Oh these old feelings... New Year's Eve, I fell asleep with the joy that I would see my dear sister when I woke up next day. Before re-uion with my friends, I could not help smiling at the thought of seeing them again. It seems to me that the best part of life is waiting for such moments, with the belief that such things will happen, just like a kid, waiting for the new year day. So what will happen in the next 24 hours is really not important anymore, I got all what I cherish.

 

I will always remember my mood now, first 30 minutes of my age 24, although I still look like exactly half of that. And what a nice coincidence, Mid Autumn Festival.

 

Remembering one's birthday besides his or her own year after year is really difficult. At least, I can hardly do that, but I am trying to. So that's why, my dear friends, you have already given me the best presents. Thanks.
