Western world is probably getting back from Easter holidays, while the Chinese part of it is starting Qing Ming Holidays 清明節 tomorrow (also called Tomb Sweeping Day, something we do in Poland on the 1st November). Obviously, like most local holidays, it doesn't mean much to me (sorry, I have no childhood memories about it, no tombs to sweep - which I am thankful for!, no I am a Taoist/Buddhist). That is also why I am trying to get over the fact no one cared for Easter in here, and people were asking me why it is called "復活節" (Fu Huo Jie - Revival Holiday), since they have no idea it's about Jesus, and learning that they have felt bunnies and eggs are misleading (I agree!).
"Karpatka" cake I've made for Easter :)
My Polish friend's Easter eggs
Celebrating or not, everyone enjoy free time! And that is why I am looking very much forward to this holiday, and quite unusually it is a long weekend holiday! Even my boss decided to give us (the office peeps at least) a day of on Saturday. Heh!
Anyways, that means tonight I am making muffins in my new silicon heart shaped muffin cast, packing myself and Oscar, and the three of us (+ D.) are going north to D's home. Now you know why muffins are required, I continue my "through the stomach to heart" strategy with his family ;) Although it seems they already love Oscar, and that is much in my favor.
After the first storm about me quitting my job for a new job, now it's all settled and I calmly await the end of May, when the change will actually happen. Oh, I'm pretty sure I will s*it my pants then from stress over new responsibilities. But I think it will be good, I am already loosing myself into e-commerce, SEO and coding articles, undertaking a HTML5+CSS course on
codeacademy.com (great site!).
So yet again - life is good! My swing is up!
