For some strange reason , I feel Qing's very close ?

As this is a Sunday and I did most of my Errands yesterday , I have all day to relax and ... yes ... just do nothing but to hang around the Forum . Even answering Post's , my Mind alway's get's sidetracked in Qing's direction . After Lunch and talking to my Neighbor ( brother Glenn ) as I like to call him , even though he is not my real brother . He invited me for Dinner again , which him and his Girlfriend do quite often . Waiting for his phone call later this afternoon , to join them at their Home . When we get together , we alway's drink some of his favorite Wine , that he never runs out off . This having wine served in a wine-glass remind's me alway's of Qing's photo she send me a long time ago , with this special Heart on it . Matter of fact everytime I see any kind of wine-glass , it remind's me of this photo . Which in turn show's to me , that her Love is alway's with me and surrounding me at any-time .

But that does not mean to forget your Friends , which are special in their own way's . Me and Josh S. and his lovely Girlfriend were talking earlier today on Facebook and I happen to come up with a saying , that even surprised me . Josh thought that I was a reincarnated Poet from another time , if that was possible of course . I also told him , that I also must of been a chinese Poet then .

" Friends are like Flower's in the Garden of Life " then ,

" To be in LOVE .... is the Water to make them grow "

Sometimes , I really don't know where it comes from , but it's just there ? If somebody is shocked it's me . After all never was into Poem's ( well reading them ) , leave alone writing them . But as of now I have written 11 or 12 Poem's so far . Who know's where it will end ? Actually hope it never does ! I think as long as I have my beautiful " Lao Po " it will never come to an end of being inspired to put down my feeling's in such a manner . Many thing's to be thankful for toward's my Sweetheart , this is certainly one of them .

*** ONE OF HUNDRED REASON'S , I LOVE MY LAO PO SO MUCH ***

A Blog , that is only half hearted !

As it happened .. Friday .. I was alone at the Workplace , as my Uncle went to Las Vegas again to move his Daughter into her new House . As he will stay for a few day's , to make sure his daughter's ( still Husband ) wont give her any trouble , going through this divorce proceeding's . Anyway , skipping my Lunch break , I wanted to close early this day and since I needed to go Foodshopping still and come home and Cook . As you can see , this sign , I put up when my late Wife got sick and I took over the Kitchen duty's . Of course that sign makes perfect sence , with me being in the Kitchen doing my stuff . Talking about me , if I have more than two pot's going at the same time , one thing will burn for sure . The reason is , because I'm alway's sidetracked by so many things and bingo ... their you have it . Anybody likes blackened Cajun whatever ? So after Eating my none chinese dish , it was time to write my Lao Po a letter . I wanted to tell her , how she could come back and view my Blog again . All , seems not to work , and that makes me feel ... like writing half-hearted Post's , knowing that my sweetheart can not go in and read them . I really do hope it will clear up soon , because it is really effecting me in a big way .

Being Saturday today , I had to get up early to be over at the Carwash today , to get this Bumper thing taken care of . Ones and for all . I make myself Breakfast , which in a way , is my specialty , when it comes to cooking anything . At 09:00 o-clock , I did meet the Bodyman and he got right on it . With the Owner there , all of a sudden , there was talk of only doing half my Bumper , not as originally planned , the whole darn thing . After much talk , I agreed to pay $ 40 to do the whole thing , specially the right side that had scratch marks let by some A- hole in the parking lot . So that sounded fair enough and agreed to have it done this way . To my surprise , it only took this Guy one and a half hour's to finish and it was up to me now to let it dry for some two hours , before driving it home .

It looks good , and glad it's over and done with .

So now back home , and I was telling myself to write on my Blog , that I have been putting off now for day's . After all , I am busy with our China Love Forum and all the friends I need to either call or write to . There really are not enough hours in a day .

But most of all , I want my Baby back . I miss her enough already , don't need to make it worse for both of us .

Going on 15:30 and time to think about what's for Dinner , think I will have a good Steak , some Salad and Asparagus with that . Or I will make the one and a half pound fillet of Salmon ? Either way , this is the weekend and I shall have something better to eat , than on weekday's with little time on hand for big Meals .

A busy , but relaxing Weekend .

As the three day weekend comes to a close , I must say ... I did get some things done and now enjoying all that I have accomplished . When sitting out on my side patio under the Umbrella with my Parrot " Columbus " and a Book that I got of the Simatai Great Wall . What can be better , than to look at all you've done and get to kick back with a nice cold Beer and a Book that I have only glanced through so far . This part of the Wall is actully the best preserved Wall of all of the Great Wall and some of the most difficult to climb . It was build during the Ming ( sorry Qing ) Dynasty . It really brings me right back to when I got to be so lucky , to have the chance to actully get not only to see it , but to climb it too . It really is something to see , there is no equal in the World .

I was outside relaxing for some two hours and it was very nice , no wind to speak of and not too Hot either ... perfect eve of a wonderful Holiday weekend .

I also was waiting for my Sweetheart to except my invitation to be a second Author on my Blog , which I send out to Qing on Saturday and again on Sunday . I really don't know , if she ever received them ? As we been having trouble with Blogspot site on the chinese side . So , need to call and find out , if it went through . Hope so , of course .

The other thing on my mind , is Chong going soon on his Trip to China . As he is excited as can be ... I'm sure ... I myself wish him all the best and may it be the True Love that we all seek . Well , by his own word's , he is 99.99% sure ... Diana is theee one and that makes for pretty good odd's .

And not to forget , my other friend Martin ( Mading ) hide your Dumpling's ... Lao Gong of Zhifang ... Queen of Guangzhou . He will also be going in July for his second Trip in three weeks ??? or was it three months ? There seems to be a flood of our Brotherhood Forum going to China now , hope this will not raise any suspicion with the chinese Government , but the ones that have to worry ... are all those bad Agencies from Chnlove . I recommend , they close and lock all their door's for the Summer . Hehe

Anyhow , actually looking forward going back to work , which of course is a very short week for most of us .

Start of a long weekend !

Long week-end ....

and lot's to do !!!

As the long weekend started , so first thing you do , is sleep in . I did not get out of the House , till almost 13:00 . First one the list of errands was go to the Carwash and see the Owner face to face and tell him about last weekend's waste of time . I showed him an Estimate of another Bodyshop to fix my Car . I was not as uasual , in a bad mood , just wanted this thing done and over with . I gave him one more chance to do it right or I will take it in my own Hands and get it done and give him the Bill . So next Saturday it will happen for sure , he promised and apologized for my inconvinence . I can live with this , one more time .

My second stop was the Home improvement store , for some Plants and a new in-Sink Food Disposer .

So coming home I got to play Gardener , which I alway's enjoy very much . A new Plant for my front Door and a Money Tree for my Fireplace . Oh ... yes , a money Tree that grows " Yuan's ( RMB's ) and not Dollar's . So naturally , this is a chinese Money Tree . That will solve my Economical problems , for future Trip's to China . The only downfall with this Tree , is you don't know or can tell what kind of denomination's it will produce ? Not till the first Harvest , which should be a few month's time . ( see photo on top left )

Then , after eating Dinner , I got to play Plumber and Electrician . First order of Job , take the old worn-out Unit out of the Sink and out of it's misery . Making sure I have all part's and Tools needed to do this Job , I was more than ready to do this . One does not realize how much we use them , till they don't work anymore . So after installing the electrcial cord from the old unit , which I thought was odd , no new cord on the new disposal ? Oh well , this took me about one and a half hour's and it works great . Much better then the original one , the one that came with the House . You know about a tract home , cheapest Appliance's they can find . Which I have fixed or replaced many over the nine year's , I owned this House .

Tomorrow , it's back to my Yard for much needed trim on all three sides of the house , except the front that I finished on Friday after work already .

I am so thankful , for having lived in Upstate New York ( Blauvelt , Slate Hill , Cornwall ) . Because , if I would have come to California straight from Germany in 1969 , I would not have had the chance to work as a Construction contractor for the four year's , to learn all , that need's to be done around a Home . After all , who want's to be a Auto Mechanic with all those rusted out Car's ? Not Me !!! So when the opportunity opened in Calif . , heck ... why not ? California here I come !

So now we get to kick back and enjoy the Evening and think of my Sweetheart . What better way to relax is there ?

My Sweetheart is better !

First thing , when I got home today .. I went to my backyard to check on all my Plant's and Flower's . That of course reminded me of my Sweetheart right away . I also are starting to drain my Spa , to replace the water in it and give a good twice a year cleaning . That 's what I like about a Hot Spring Spa , it has four huge filter's and it filter's itself all day long and keeps the Temp . wherever I set it . I could change it only ones a year , it stays so clean . But the best is , without many Chemicals and only uses power of a 75 Watt bulb as it does this . The jet's of course use more power . Anyway , how I'm looking forward for the day my Lao Po and I get to use it together under the Star's , especially on a cold winter night , that is the best , I think .



So after I was done , I decided to give my Lady a call and see what she is up to ?


I should have known , she was feeling better and already at work , for her new Insurance Co. , instead of working for her brother Ming . He has been a little slow , but who is not ? So we talk for some time . I am alway's in Heaven , listening to my Qing talking , music to my Ear's , warmth for my Heart and Love for my Brain . Ha ... yes I have one of those too !



Talking about , how it would be like if she was here at this moment and all the things we do , and have her see here in America . I also told her , that it is customary for Me to carry Her into the house for good luck , ones she get's here . Qing like that a lot , as much as me carrying her from the Airport to the Car , that I promised her , I will do when she comes to Los Angeles . But I also told her not to eat too much and become like her brother , I would not be able to do it then . Hehehe.

See , this was sooo much Fun at the Wedding Ceremony , that I just had to promise to carry her , ones she get's here . In a way , that was practise for the long haul . That makes me think of Chong and running Marathon's . Do they have a Race , where everybody carries their Wife on their backs ? Would that not be interesting ? A 1kilometer race , after all , I'm not crazy .

So , it is good to see that my Tai Tai is better , that makes us both happier for sure .

Happy , but worried !

It is such a hard time , to wait for your Sweetheart be by your side forever . As the month's go by , and the memories of my last trip are further behind , but not forgotten of course . It seem's , that there is no end to it . We are at the mercy of father Time and mother Government .

What makes it really hard , is knowing that your Lao Po is not well . I called my Qing on Friday ( Sat . their time ) and I caught her in the Hospital for a Mainline , which I think is an IV or some kind of shot for her Flu / Cough , she has had now for three weeks or so . As I called her yesterday ( Mon. their time ) , she again was at the Hospital , for the same thing .

This of course has me alarmed and worried . Not being by her side as a Husband is bad enough , but not be by her side when my poor Tai Tai is not well / sick ? That is to cry out loud ! How can I concentrate on anything else but my Sweetheart ? How I wish it was me instead , to carry her pain . I myself been through this many times , when I had two Job's , to save up to be able to buy a House . Had a Paper route , seven day's a week , rain or shine , in cold morning hour's . Having a Cold then , was no fun and hard to get rid off . So , I know what it's like , having a Cough for such a long time . It's hard , because it's alway's the worst in the evening when trying to go to sleep and the darn Cough keep's not only you , but your spouse awake too .

The other thing , on my Mind ? Is .. Qing not being able to log-on to my Blog for some strange reason ? It made us feel even closer , as I was telling her exactly how I felt from Post to Post .

Not that she doesn't know , how much I Love her already , but it's nice to show it too .

Another thing , that just got me by surprise this morning , was Chad's post . How I feel for this Man ? It is so sad to see two People in Love and loose it because of a Medical problem , that could have been overcome , but it was not to be . It's a shame , how Life deals out Card's , to show you ... this was not meant to be . I myself , hate to see LOVE wasted , in such a short time . Suck's !!

Some day's ?

This was supposed to be the day , that I get my Car's bumper fixed and painted . I was to meet the Bodyman today at 09:00 at the Carwash where I had the bad luck last week of getting pushed out of the brush area by somebody's else's bumper . So I was there on time after having Breakfast at a local Coffee Shop . But nobody to take my Car , so I waited till 09:30 and left . The Carwash owner was not going to be there till after 11:00 , and I was not going to hang around till then . They had there chance , now I will get an Estimate from somewhere and they going to pay for it , one way or the other .

This is not how I had my Saturday planned , I was going to write Qing a letter while waiting for the Car to be done , along with practising my character's .
But just as well , as I was thinking of my poor Qing . I called her last night after talking to Martin on the Phone and she was at the Hospital when she answered . She still has that bad cough , that she has now ... going on three weeks . She was there to get a Shot for it , the second time in as many weeks . Of course my Sweetheart tell's me not to worry , but I am worried , especially now . Three weeks is a long time for a cough to hang around , after seeing a Doctor .

The only good news was that she did receive the three card's , I had send for Mother's day and for our Anniversary . Two day's late (14 day's all together ) , but they got there and Qings Mom was very happy to receive this from her new Son in-law and all in Character's of course . The flower part of that weekend did go well after all . Qing bought her Mom some flower's and then she took her to have a Dinner celebration in her honor . So that worked out okay , as hoped .

One new problem did come up for both of us . Qing can't not get in to read my Blog for some reason . Gave her two URL's to try for her to get in , i'm not sure they will work though ? Then , to my surprise , wanting to post here on my Blog , my Address Bar on my Computer is not there anymore and it had all the addresses of the sites I visit the most . Gone ... and I have no idea where it went and how to get it back . Even went to Barnes & Noble's to check out the Window 's XP dummies book to see how , but nothing of help that I could see . Everybody I try to get a hold of is not answering their phone or are out of town ? The only way I got to my Blog , was pure luck . I used a send message to my Sister in-law , that I send a month ago , along with the URL for my Blog . A good thing I had not deleted it yet , which I do often , only keep Qing's letter's in my Inbox . I will try again to find somebody tomorrow to help me with this .

Right now , I wish I could be with my Sweetheart , a time she is not well . That is even harder not to have your Spouse by your side .

*** WO AI NONG , WO DE SHANGHAI TAI TAI ( LAO PO ) ***

Please get well soon , drink lot's of Tea and get lot's of rest !

I don't know what to think ?

Even though , it was a very nice Mother's Day with my In-law's , there is now and it has been on my Mind since Friday last week .
As I do most of the time , I use Chnlove's Gift department to send Qing things for special occasion's . Well this being our first year Anniversary ( 09 May ) , I send her a Crystal Cube , which takes about twenty day's to receive .. from the day I ordered it . It comes with engravings that mark our special day . But instead of sending it as I requested on the 09 May , they call Qing a couple of day's after ordering and tell her of it , that she will receive it in about two weeks time . Well there goes the surprise as starter's . So after this was ruined surprise wise , I send three Card's off in the Mail . One "Anniversary Card" for Qing , one "Mother's Day" Card also for Qing and one "Mother's Day" Card for Qing's Mom . All of which have not arrived yet on Friday , talking to Qing . It's been eleven day's already , that I send them off . Anyhow , a couple of day's before Mother's Day , I send Qing some Lily's for Mother's Day . Which of course Chnlove called her again in advance ( On Friday there ) . Since Qing has received the Cube already for the Anni. , now she thought that the Flower's were for her Mom ? She hasn't seen the attached Card yet , mind you ?
So , Qing told her Mom , that I send Flower's for Her , so now Qing of course feels bad , I feel aweful , because the Card states clearly they are for my Sweetheart . This is where it get's me feeling the way I do . Besides , Qing has not written me yet , that the Card's got there . to make this matter even worse . So , my Mother in-law , standing there with no Flower's after all , no Card to speak of yet , so you can see , why I'm not in a very good mood to write the last couple of day's . Also did not call my Sweetheart either since Friday evening . I know , my Baby feels the same I'm sure . I think we both LOST our "FACE" in front of our Mma . I really don't know what to say ? To think , I was alway's one to have at least something to say . But this does have my Stomach in knot's .
I hope it is not received as a bad thing by anybody , happening this way ?

Today was a special day for all the Mother's , for what they have done for their Children throughout their Life . So for me , since I am not in Shanghai , to celecrate this day with Qing's Mom and my Mother in-law there and also couldn't be in Germany with my Mom , so I decided to spend it with my other Mother in-law ( Nancy's Mom ) and two of her seven Sister's .

We were to meet for Lunch about 13:00 at their House in Moreno Valley .
It was good to see my Mother in-law out of Bed for a change and feeling pretty alert and happy to see us all , she is after all 84 year's old . As one can see , my two Sister in-law are busy preparing Lunch in the Kitchen . Of course their Cooking is as good as my late Wife's was , all love to cook and have many Cookbook's . But , I think Nancy beat them all , by having about 300 all together . I myself , never Cook out of a Book , leave alone from a Recipe . That is just not me . I cook from Memory watching her do her stuff in the Kitchen . Dinner is usually done at home , don't like to eat out by myself in a Restaurant . Eat fast-foods as little as possible , but sometimes you just crave a Hamburger or Hotdog with all the fixing's .

Anyway , had a wonderful time among Family member's , that are as loving as my Nancy was and we do concider us still in-law's , why wouldn't we ? Just because one looses a loved one , does not mean we have to say goodbye and I'm not part of this Family anymore . They are going to be part of my Family forever , of course I feel , that they think the same of me too . But I'm not worried . Qing is going to like them alot , they will like Qing the same , after meeting her . Thinking about this , I know Nancy's sister's will compare Qing with their older sister at the beginning , but that is natural and I can not blame them for doing that . I think all sister's and brother's would do that , because they still miss her very much . On the other hand , they will gain a new sister in-law for them , that is not replacing Nancy in their Heart's , but pretty close right next to it .

Through all this very nice day , there are very few moment's though , that I don't think of my Sweetheart . What is she doing for Mother's day ? How is her Mom going to spend it ? How is my Mom spending it , with no Children to see there , only phone calls . Deep down , I feel they all had a wonderful and relaxing day .

I can not be in three places at the same time , so we do the best we can .

FOR ALL THE MOM'S OUT THERE , HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY !!!!

Good thing , I left Home with a Smile !

As my last Post ended that I was going to wear my Smile today , well it's a good thing I did .
After leaving my Home , I was going to get my Car washed and go to the Market for some thing's for tomorrow's Lunch at my Mother in-law's house . I was to bring some Chip's and Salsa , but I decided to make Guacamole instead . Well , at the Car Wash , I was waiting in some shaded area for my Car to come out of the Tunnel of Brushes and Blower's , when I see my Car stop at the end and nobody pay's any attention and as I walk over there to check it out , some other Car ( SUV ) comes along and just pushes my Car out of this area with it's bumper which is chrome and my painted Fibreglass bumper . Well you know who won this duel . Scratches all over my poor Bumper of course . But I kept my cool , because that is what I went out of the house with , a Smile . Accident's do happen , but why to my Car , I thought ? After seeing the Manager , which by the way was very nice and offered immediate Repair of the damage . Which I thought , could of been worse , so I waited for a Bodyman that He knew , come and take a look and to make an Appointment for next Saturday to get it fixed and Painted . Since I had some scratches from other people's parking habit's already on one side of the Bumper , they agreed to Paint the whole Bumper at no cost to me , along with some free Car washes . I guess , I can live with this arrangement after all . It could have been worse , I kept telling myself , to stay positive through this . So really , I learned from this . Leaving the House in a good mood , can carry you through the day happier and I still got to do my Guacamole and my Dinner for tonight , with not much fuzz .

This story , does show two different character's in People . I was okay with the whole Idea to get my Car fixed and back to normal . BUT , the other Guy , who's Car hit mine , had a damaged Grill from it all and right away he told the Owner , that this Grill was just renewed not to long ago and cost me almost two hundred Dollar's . Well , after this statement , the Car-wash owner call the Dealer himself and found out the Grill goes for $ 69 plus Tax . So , this is one Lie . Number two Lie followed . by him claiming his Chrome Bumper also was damaged from the impact , which of course was to high up , for my Car to have done this . After moving the two Car's close to each other and checking the height , two things made this impossible . 1st : my Bumper is Fibre glass and his is Chrome and Metal , 2nd : the height did not match . Anyway , how can a Fibre glass bumper make a dent into a Metal bumper ? He was lying to gain Money from the Accident . I don't like People that alway's want to turn a misfortune into money for themself's . Beside all this , we were talking about China out of the blue and He had nothing but negative things to say , bad this bad that and he never ones stepped a foot into China . Again , I could of just slapped him right there , but not with my Smile on my Face . This beheavor was nothing new to me at all , see many People do that , without really haven been there . Well , I hope tomorrow will be a nice Mother's day Lunch , need at least one good , nothing happening day , on the weekend .

How time fly's , even though it seems forever ?

May 09 2009 , happens to be Our first Anniversary . Would much rather say together , but this first year was pretty much spend , with each one of us on opposite sides of this Globe we call Earth . But alway's connected by Our love and the will to overcome any hurdle , placed in our path to finally be together and have a Marriage the way it should be ... next to one another .
As I was preparing to leave Work yesterday , at about 18:00 my time , I called Qing ( 09:00 Sat. 09-05 there ) just as she was getting ready to go to Work . To wish her of course a Happy Anni. and a time to reflect back and realize , that we know each other for a year and a half already . That really shows how little time we all do have on this Earth , as the years just fly by like month's and before you know it you're an old Man . But that is a great lesson , to be learned ? Enjoy Life to it's fullest , no matter if hard or easy , on a day to day bases . Because a wasted day , one can not have back ... ever . I know being young one does not think much of that , but after you reach the half century mark , it will be on / play with you Mind , if you want it to or not .

So what do I do next ? You guess it , finish here , wash up , get dressed and go out and do the things that need to be done . But alway's with a happy smile , because knowing someone on that other side of the World LOVES YOU .

May 06 '09 , would have been the 31st. Anniversary .

This day was very special for me , my late wife Nancy , but also for my Tai Tai . After work today , the first thing on my way home , I stopped by Nancy's grave . Not only to commemorate which would have been our 31th Anniversary , but also to pay my respect to her . From May 06 1978 to her passing away , every year we toast with a bottle of Asti Spumanti . Actually , this photo was taken last year , a day before departing on my way to Shanghai , to meet my Sweetheart for the very first time . So , I had a couple of glasses of this bottle and poured a couple into the ground for my Nancy . This is an old Mexican tradition , that I picked up some years ago , from seeing it at other gravesites being done this way .

This is a special day not just because of this , it also is the very reason I was going on a Trip anywhere in the world , to be in the Air all of that day , to be as close as I can get to my Nancy . The 12 Girls Band than showed me , where to go , Shanghai it was to be . By June , I had ticket's to go to Shanghai . On Oct. 09 '07 , I got to see the Girls live at the Anaheim Grove . Like a Dream . By Nov. 27 I received the first letter from my Qing and than of course our first time waiting , for May to arrive has begun .

This is why , it is also very special for Qing and Myself , this date . Now Qing and I married by Registry on May 09 '08 , also just take the number 6 and turn it over and it becomes a 9 . Yes , the only number you can do that to . This is why I truly believe my late wife is in on this , me finding Qing and marrying her by Fate on our 30th Anni . with the number turned around , so not to be the same date . Add the Crystal Cube to that and what can I say ? Was that meant to be or not ?

Well , this Saturday is Qing's and My first Anniversary coming up and of course it has to be a Full Moon , to really make it special for us . Hey , I can't help it , when things just fall our way , with so many things . We both know , this is Fate having a hand in it , not just coincidence or luck . If you ask me now , when is Qing's interview date , I would not be surprised if that date would fall on August 07th this year , so we can celebrate on the 08-08-09 our first Anni. of the Wedding Ceremony , her getting the Visa approofed .

Anyhow , this was the day , last year , that was not only going to be our first meeting , but also a Dream come true . Standing under the Oriental Pearl Tower with my Sweetheart , my favorite Lady , my favorite landmark , my favorite City , I'd say ... I am a happy Fellow , to receive all this on my very first Trip to China .

Haha , to think of it , our Love is as big as Qing's purse in the Photo and as pure as the Color of it .

Love , does come in different way's !

Love is a wonderful and most precious gift one can ever be given ! Yes , it is very special between two People in Love . Whoever been in Love before know's , what it feels like to Love another Person ( Woman / Man ) , there is no other feeling that strong in this World . How does one find such Love ? One would never guess , how simple it is ? All , one has to do is open his / her Heart and follow it . It really knows the way , you might not think so or come up with excuses , self-doubt , your Mind may not want to follow where your Heart want's to go . This is where your Heart must take charge or you will ( well actually ) your Mind will be sorry . So why is the Mind sorry , for something it did not want to do anyway , in the first place ? Because , the Mind control's the Eyes and it will see what it missed , not following the Heart . This is where the Heart is at it's best , to find True Love . you must trust it , or you'll never find that kind of Love , nowhere .
Now as the Titel suggest's , there is different Love , that has nothing to do with ones Sweetheart . This Love is for other People , that find this same Love over time and you are being lucky enough to be sharing this with that other Person . It might be a total stranger , a Neighbor , a Friend , a Family member or even one you dislike for some reason , it would still make you happy to see any of the ones I mentioned , to find his or her happiness , that can not be measured by anything but by the Heart of the ones involved , in such Love relationship .
That brings me to my Friends here on our China Love Forum . These are People , that I have never met in my Life , like my Lao Po at some point , but I feel so strongly about them being happy . Why is that ? Is it because I'm so happy or is it because I'm a kindhearted Person ? The answer I think is very simple , it's because we are all Human Being's and we all want the same from Life . That being ... to be Loved , as a Child , as an Adult , as an old and tired Person , that has had it's share of Love and not so loving moment's in Life .

LOVE IS THE MOST PRECIOUS THING , WE WILL EVER FIND IN THIS WORLD ! Everything else just has no meaning , unless you found somebody to share it with .

Love that came to my Door , one day !

We started to write to each other ,

Nov. '07 , so for a month and a half , we been getting to know each other , fairly quick . As I had my first Shirt done already , it was getting close to Christmas here in Palmdale . I ask Qing ,

if there celebrate Christmas in China as well ? She wrote back with the answer , yes of course , window's are decorated with Santa's and the Shopping Store employee's , well were wearing Santa suit's and festive clothing otherwise . That surprised me , I did not think Christmas was that important there , because of what I have hear'd about the Catholic Religion being surpressed there . Along with that letter , Qing pointed out , that she has send me a Christmas Gift as well . This of course was for me the most wonderful thing , that happened so far . Knowing , that I was about to receive my first Gift from my Sweetheart . Something coming from not just from her Heart , but something special from her with a X-mas Card with her handwriting . I could not wait till this Gift arrived at my Door , you can imagine ? It arrived by DHL , but I was not at home at the time , was at work . So all I got was a piece of paper , where to pick it up . Of course it was after hour's , oh ... how upset I was , that he did not leave it at my Door . Knowing it's here , but not here , killed me all night . Picked it up the next day , and took it home to open it . I must of shaken and my Heart beat went up some notches . It was the Gift you see on the Photo on top , I really thought this is the most beautiful gift , that I ever received . Finding the Card next and what beautiful handwriting I saw , as beautiful as her Picture's . This made me half chinese , right there on the spot . I pictured ourself's in those kind of outfit's and had to wipe away tear's . When I realized , that this Box not only contain'd the Gift's , but this Box was filled with Qing's LOVE and to the top and overflowing . There they sit on top of a Table in the Diningroom , with two of my favorite Wines , which I will not even open now . What I also kept , was the wonderful Bow , that was on the Package . It is still hanging there on my Refrigerator as I write this , to remind me of this special Gift and our first Christmas together , as the relationship blossomed to what it is today .

I could put up photo after photo here , that she has send me over the month's that followed , it would make a whole Album . I do want to show one more that I received for Christmas last year , from my Lao Po , that time . Again

waiting for it patiently as patient I can get , to receive this , which I knew it was on it's way . Now this one Package was left at the door , not knowing what my Sweetheart has send me this time . She did hint that it was something for our Home . Well it was just that , and it does change our Home into the chinese look more and more , with all the Photo's of Qing and Myself and the Family on my walls already . I really think , she will feel comfortable here , besides ... I live here too , you know . So looking at that Christmas Card from Qing ( the white one in front ) and holding it in my Hand , does make me feel like I'm holding her at that moment . Those are things , that a Lao Gong will alway's treasure physically but also in the Heart as well .

I thank my Lao Po , whenever I think of those special Gift's , Card's , Letter's ,Call's ... because , their are filled and about LOVE at it's best .

I have one " SPECIAL " Person , and that is my LAO PO ... QING !!!

Things , I did out of LOVE for Qing !

To make this Shirt , it only took about one month worth of writing to my Sweetheart . I felt so strongly about our relationship , that I wanted to express my LOVE toward's her , anyway I could . These are some of my first Character's that I learned and of course this is my handwriting . I wore this Shirt in May '08 when I first met Qing on many day's after and still wear it proudly , to show our LOVE to everybody . So as time got us closer and deeper in LOVE , on came the next Shirt . This is after I became the Shanghai MiFeng and Qing was already my Flower for a longer time . This is my favorite Shirt of the three that I had made .
" Arnold and CHER ...FOREVER "

I especially like the look of the very happy Bee , ready for some sweet nectar from my Qing's favorite flower the Lily . Which was my late Wife's favorite and of course one of my Sister's had to have the name Lily also . Matter of fact , I wore this Shirt today , running Errands and doing Food shopping . It is really amazing what one will do , if falling in LOVE , to a beautiful and lovely Woman . A Woman , that just seemed to come right out of a Dream , that any Man can only cherish and treasure , all his Life .
Of course , making those Shirt's was not the only thing , to express my LOVE toward's Qing . I started to do something , I have never in my Life have done before . That is start writing Poem's , which caught me by surprise , having never done that . I think it is a good place now to post my first ever Poem here . The Titel is naturally

" My Shanghai Flower "

Some of you might have seen this Poem already . After this Poem , I would alway's be the MiFeng and Qing alway's my Shanghai Hua .

Now , I am up to ten Poem's already , pretty much for every occasion , where I felt really close and needed to express it . Since writing is the only way to do that , being apart for now , from my Love .


To mention a couple more special thing's I have done for my Qing is , send her for Christmas '07 a Crystal Cube , with what was to be our first day meeting

09 May '08 . But as Fate would have it , my original Flight got canceled ( over Singapore ) . So , I first met her on the 07 May '08 instead . Here is the strange thing that happened , that I did not realized till I was back home for a couple of weeks . Now anybody that doesn't believe in Fate / Destiny , will have to think twice about this one . Well , it happen's that we got Married at the Registry , because it was Raining that day ( the only day raining on my stay in May ) , so we decided this would be the perfect day , to do that . On that very date on the Cube . We both could not believe our Eyes or what has happened to us there . This very Cube , as you have noticed ... I use
as my Logo for my Post's .

" Two Heart's meet , 09 May '08 "

This Love is really given to us both to take care off !!

So , this will tell you some of the thing's , that I have done for my Lao Po over time . There is so much more of course . I can't give everything of my Book away , or nobody would buy it .

Next Blog post will be about some of the thing's Qing has done for me out of her LOVE toward's me .



*** Two People know how much I love her ***

No new Post today !

This is after all , " LABOR DAY " in China , so hope to get it off , at least at my Computer . I do honor chinese Holiday's , if this doesn't get me a free day , then I will use the German " LABOR DAY " instead . Also today . So it's a win-win situation .
