This is my 5th Spring in the United States, and because of that, there are enough allergy stuff build up in my body system. I start feeling uncomfortable last Spring, and this year, it just hit the high note. Although I have allergy since I was in Taiwan, put it is from difference sources. Now, I am start allergic to POLLEN. This is really terrible! Not only me, my co-worker and the computer guy also got it this year...I an not alone, ha!! But I think I am the worst one, because I am also allergic to artificial fragrance, dust, humid air.......sooooo many!! How do I finally figure out my allergy recently is from pollen? Because I went to Boston last weekend, and I felt much better there. The weather up North still cold, and raining, so not have many pollen out yet. I don't what kind of pollen I am allergic to, but I am afraid to see the doctor. I am afraid that she will find out I am allergic to MORE stuff...:P Today, I found a good allergy medicent, it works for me, and hope I can survive this allergy season.

11:00AM, there in Taiwan, is 90F degree.12 Hours and 40 F distance.
Chien-Ming Wang (#40) is Yankees' New Pitcher, and he did GREAT on his MLB dabut!If you are my classmates from ESF, you know I am not Yankees fan. But this year, Yankees trade in Randy Johnson. I start to follow some Yankees game. Then on April 29, Yankees vs. BlueJays is also the date they to bring Chien-Ming Wang from AAA to major league. Which also means that I am going to follow more Yankees game, EVER. But I am still not a Yankees fan, haha!Why do I support Chien-Ming Wang? Because he is from Taiwan, I like baseball, and I support players from my country. Although Wang is the 3rd player from Taiwan able play in the MLB, Yankees is one of the most popular and famous team in the world. Through Wang, we maybe able to let more people know things about Taiwan. And if you want to know how he did, you can google search news about him...can't wait for his 2nd game on May 5.I was so moved when I watch the game. Not only Wang did a good job, but also heard the cheer up in Chinese through the broadcast (YES network)! According to friends who when to the stadium, people also bring our flag to the game!GOGO TAIWANESE!
GAKI is the nickname of National Taiwanese Chung-Hsing University Chorus. According to older gakis (member of our chorus all called GAKI), it is a Japanese expression for the "hungry ghosts". Besides singing, we also love to eat, and we always try to come up some special events just for us able to get together and EAT! I was a member, now is a alumni. We have total 53 generation at this moment, and this summer, they we will have a East Cost reunion in New York City. We like a big extended family. When I move down to New Jersey, Gloria (she graduated 20+ years ago, tool care of me - BIG TIME).Today, I went to another alumni's house for a meeting and practice for the coming event. It is really fun to sing, although we didn't really "practice" a lot of songs...more like get together and EAT!! It feels good to sing with people, and I can't wait to see my old friends come visit from Taiwan (don't know how many people will be here).GAKI also means "BRAT" in Japanese. Yes! I am a brat! Co'z my grandpa used call me "gaki "and call my youngest sister "otoko" (in Japanese means BOY). Why my grandpa knows Japanese? Because Taiwan was a colony of Japan for a while. Grandpa die in my 1st year in college, and after that, my e-mail accounts, screen name and BBS nickname is "GAKI".
What a duck ...
Just because she lay her eggs (9 total) outside the White House, she is on the DC area news and have special protection around her. Almost everybody pass that day (April 10, 2005) will stop and see what is going on. There are also kids around the fence don't want to leave. Why? Because they want to see the ducks hatch.I don't know if this duck nest in other place will treat the same way?
