[Phone Reading] Self Love and Appreciation

2009-03-04T08:36:00.001-08:00

Someone very dear to me came to me recently with some troubled thoughts and I spoke to her at length about her situation and possible underlying reasons for her problems. As with many others these days, I asked her if she would like me to pull a card for her. The card below is what came out (after a mistrial caused by my own cards showing up >_<) when I spoke her name to my deck - The Queen of

Question: How do I become the person I was meant to be?This is a spread I did for a friend of mine who is currently contemplating his next steps in life. Because of the broad nature of this question, I decided to do a Celtic Cross spread, which has 10 cards. I didn't want to clog up my post with cards, so I'll just put down the names of the cards.1) Situation-as-is: Hierophant (R)2) Obstacle/

This was a request from a friend of mine regarding the following:Whether the guy I am currently with is THE ONE - should i continue?I decided to do a three card drawing just to see the general situation. The cards that I drew for her were:Interestingly enough, none of the cards were about emotions. They were mostly major arcana cards that hinted to far reaching circumstances. Money seems to be a

Some things we know clearly are wrong, but we persist because we are unwilling to let go; some people we know clearly that we love, but we must give up because we know it will come to naught; sometimes, we know clearly that there is no more future, but we continue to walk the same path because we are

Some classic phrases (unknown origins, Translated by Aka)1. We were too young, so young that we didn’t realize we still had such a long time ahead of us, long enough for me to forget you, long enough for me to fall in love with someone else, just like how I fell in love with you.2. If a person wants to do something he likes, then he must do many more things he does not like.3. In the past, I

These days, there are two cards that have consistently showed up during my readings, regardless of whether it’s my daily diary readings or my regular readings for myself.I do not like to do readings for myself. First off, my cards and I have a long and complicated love/hate relationship. I don’t like to know the outcome of something that I care so much about it may hurt me to face the truth –

What about the Happiness Promised? (Translated by Aka)Your replies are in disarrayat this time, on this day.I remember the doves by the fountain sidescattering happiness on their way.Struggling emotions are trying to conveythat: Hey, I still love you.But you sing in broken strings and pretendthat everything’s the same.As time goes by, runs away, love has choices to make.You grow so distant, and

Harmony of December (Translated by Aka)The dry north wind gathers fallen leavesIn a voice that seems happy, “looks like it’ll snow tonight”.In the same park as always, a quiet night comes today.Our fingers ever so gently locked…the warmth of just the two of us.Suddenly I realize, that flower blooming in my heartalways smiling by me….I want to see you, I want to see you now, even if we were apart

Silence – Jay Chou (TR: Aka)Only the piano remains with meto play through the day.The cello sleeps, quietly, aged.I guess you have made it very clear.I understand, and I know,you have no reluctance to let go.You said you feel sad too -but I don’t believe you.Holding your hand to keep me company,that was only in the past.I hope that he trulyloves you more than I,so that I mayforce myself to say

The ones we keep on missing – Eileen Chang (Translated by: Aka)There are people who never had the chance to meet; when the chance came, they hesitate, and decide that it would be better not to meet.There are things that you never had the opportunity to do; when the opportunity came, you no longer want to do them.There are words long hidden in your heart, with no time to say them; but when the

Aka’s Travelogue (10/10-10/31)

2008-12-19T07:18:00.000-08:00

This trip was made possible and perfect through the love and support of many friends, all of whom either aided me in some way or accompanied (got dragged along by) me on my reckless travels. I also thank everyone for their emotional/moral support through my many difficult periods, before and after the trip. It’s in the darkest of times that you really can feel the light that others so willingly

等待果陀

2008-07-24T14:10:00.000-07:00

果然是一個讓人看不懂的題目。（死）充滿著等待的人生才能讓人保留對生活的熱情。我不知道在等待什麽。我希望在轉角時會有一個驚喜在等待著我，但我會努力用自己的力量來實現我所想要的一切。最近在學詠春和太極。兩樣都是我想學了很久的功夫，今年莫名其妙地兩樣都學起來了。越學越覺得有趣，有點後悔怎麽那麽那麽老了才開始。不過，每個人都有自己的時間，我很慶幸找到了兩個很好的師傅（帥帥的師傅和可愛的師傅仔~心）教導我，或許我等了那麽久就是爲了等待他們的出現。就算我不能成爲武林高手（噗），起碼可以防身。另外當然生活裡面也有很多料想不到的改變，更有很多計劃中的變動。我的日本臺灣之旅也打算今年進行了。成功與否......就看我有沒有那個毅力堅持下去！

This feels more like a continuation than a beginning... oh well. I never bid a proper farewell to my livejournal anyway.Lately, I've been back on a familiar balancing act.There are things in my life that have always made me feel like I'm hanging by a thin thread.
