Dairy - September 10, 2019 updates on The power of Gossip Way and Ning are also friends of me and my husband Freddy. Recently we both did not keep in touch with Kuan and Pau until Sunday evening my husband was invited to chat in front yard of Kuan’s house. Freddy told me that Kuan and Pau wish Way apologize to them, and Way should return money borrowed before (which is around USD 700). Freddy and me feels sad for them. If you have read my previous dairy, you would know the unexist scandal between Kuan and Ning was spread from someone else. Why Way shoud apologize to Kuan and Pau? To compensate Kuan’s loss of good reputation in this neighborhood? How about the reputation of Ning? Who can compensate the loss of Ning? She was misunderstood that she got close to another man. However, it never happen and her reputation became worse; some people did not know the truth beforehand while exaggerating the thing and made it a serious problem. If nothing happen, why Way and Ning need to apologize? We should condemn the person who spread the incorrect information rather than let Way and Ning to apologize for someone who loses face. To me, I have no idea why the self-esteem and face are such important things that Kuan and Pau break their friendship with Way. These three people have known each other for more than thirty years. The scandal is not terrible, the terrible thing is person’s evil attitude and mouth toward to others.

Dairy - August 10, 2019 The power of Gossip Gossip, which is the thing I always do not like to do, while recently I heard a terrible thing from my newly-met friends. Below is what it is. My friend Way and Ning who are a couple, were told that Ning(the wife) kept meeting Kuan(another male who already married over seven years) several times. After Kuan knew this, he was as mad as hell. He then rushed to Pau’s(another friend who is divorced and living with his two daughters) home who he thought is the person who spread out the disinformation. When Kuan arrived Pau’s home, he broke the door and frightened Pau’s two daughters. Pau clarified that he was not the person who spread out the disinformation, there must be someone else. Pau became furious because Kuan behave rude and he scared Pau’s daughters. After hard work, Pau found Hung(another person they know) was the person who had spread out disinformation on purpose. Hung did not like Pau and Kuan. It is lucky that they found the truth with no time. If not, Way and Ning may feel despair or hopeless to these friendship and would not willing to contact them anymore. I feel the power of gossip is very strong. It makes related people get hurt. Communication between people is interesting. We all wish to make friends who we trust and have honesty to each other, but not wish to be hurt by others on purpose. Being clever to this espect is important. We can avoid the harm which actually is not necessary.

Diary - July 01, 2019: Moving to Ilan I just moved to Ilan for two weeks. I had been working in Taipei City for around three years. I moved to Taipei since I worked there. Living in Taipei is so-so for me. Some people like to stay in Taipei because it is very convenient to go shopping, visit museums, and go to see a movie, etc. However I only do these things when I really need to do, I do not do these things to kill the time. Therefore moving to Ilan is not a very big event for me. While there are things I really need to get used to. First, the air is fresher than Taipei because the size of Ilan is bigger than Taipei and the air pollution is not as serious as Taipei; second, the neighbors are passionate, people live nearby are closer than in Taipei; third, the public transportation is not as convenient as Taipei, to go out I have to ride my scooter or drive a car; fourth, to me, the job opportunities in Ilan are less than in Taipei and the job style I can look for are relatively limited because I am an office lady. Ilan is located in Northeast of Taiwan and is famous for tourist places for relaxing. It is called Taiwan’s backyard because Ilan is beautiful and it only takes around one hour to drive from Taipei through Taipei County to Ilan County via Xueshan Tunnel. If you are interested in this do not hesitate google related information. Welcome to Taiwan, welcome to Ilan.

At first I felt shaking, and I thought it will be stopped soon. After 10 seconds I began nervous. It shook longer than normal earthquake. I was ready to evacuate myself but I was at the 9th floor.
