Yah, love is of FATE, nothing else.  After my former girlfriend found
another boyfriend(I even can not tell who he is because it is too painful
for me to even think about!), I had been depressed for three years, and
though I feel a little better, I still miss her a lot.  However, I try
not to think of her too often.  Every year's 7/12, I celebrate out first
dating, and this year, i sent a letter to her through my best friend(a
girl).  She did not reply, and I did not expect and did not want her to
reply either.  I know that she has already forgotten me, I know that.
She is the kind of girl that likes a lot of guys accompanying around her,
but I do not mind because I only know I love her.  Maybe she has never
loved me, maybe she just wanted to have fun.  But how can I ever forget
those beautiful days and nights that we spent together? Not in this life!
Love is really painful after all the sweetness has gone as time passes
by.  Sorry for saying so many irrelavent words, but I really can help
myself.
Btw, as I mentioned before, my best friend happens to be a girl.  We had
been out several times, usually with other friends, but sometimes just
two of us alone.  I know she likes me, but I am trying to convince
myself just treating her as a friend, not girlfriend('cause falling in
love again is really scary).  We are now separate by the Pacific ocean,
but we write letters and call each others very frequently.  Can any one
tell me what should I do?  I am kind of lost.

1. Dragon Inn is a "old-clothes" film.
2. Maggie acts like a bad-girl this time. 
3. Special effects are pretty good, just like Tong-Fong-But-Bai.
4. It contains some funny conversations.

This story is about the process which a man, Chow Wai On, wants to 
save 2 children of his master but he and his friends(including Lam
Ching Ha) were unable to get out of the Dragon Inn because of the
bad weather.  They wanted to leave there but their enemy, the 
"East Factory" (Tai-Karm), tried delaying them until the head
of the East Factory came.  Fortunately, inside the Dragon Inn there
was a secret way out.  Maggie also wouldn't let them go because
she wants Mr. Chow as her husband...  Most of the scenes are inside
the inn, and funny things happens when so many different people
interact inside the small place.

I think the end of the story is cruel...  (Any comments?)

I also think it is good.  If you like the style of Tong-Fong-But-Bai,
you will like this film, too.

It won't work.  If you have try to write lyrics before, you would
notice it.  If you have lyrics first, you need to fit words on to
notes, and very likely, you would have problems in the melody.
And besides, writing lyrics to melody has existed in thousands of
years in China.

Yes, this is the trouble, Specially worst in Chinese community. First of all,
you don't know how strong is their relationship. May be her "boyfriend" don't
care at all. Who know? I really know someone wants other boys to "take over"
his girlfriend. So that he can leave her without too big trouble. You will be
hated more if you drop your girl friend.

The trouble is, after you found that you marked the wrong one, all others have
been marked already.

First, Teresa (shui@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu) says:

> Love is two ways. Give and take. ...

I see nothing wrong about it.

Then Raymond (rchoy@clarify.com) says:

> ... Love is not two ways but a one way direction call "Give". ...

And Chris (chris@iastate.edu) obviously agrees:

> In conclusion, love is only one-way. If you expect to get back something, do
> you really love him/her?

I think that you two guys' perception of one-way love is only a special case
of Teresa's model (for lack of a better word), i.e., with take=0. (Obviously, 
there is another version of this one-way special case, right? :-) And if you 
allow "Give" to take on a negative value, then it is in effect the sum of 
"Give and take" in Teresa's model, right? 

As to Chris's last question, it seems to imply that if you expect to get back 
something (anything?) from a relationship, then you do not really love the
other party in the relationship. This sounds strange to me. If you ask people 
around whether they [expect to] say, derive satisfaction from their loving 
relationship, then I would say most would say so. What's wrong with that? Now
if you say that you don't expect anything from your relationship, nothing wrong 
either. But from your own experience to generalize into saying that it is not 
a love relationship if one party in the relationship expects to get back 
something from it, then I think you are imposing your narrow viewpoint (the 
special case of the two-way model) on others, especially when considering the
fact that the so-called two-way model doesn't really reject yours.

Actually, you two's sensitivity/insistence on this perception of one-way love
gives a hint of the real issue in a relationship: the [mis]matching perception
of the "Give and take" on both sides, i.e., the issue of matching perceptions
on both sides is as important as the issue of the concept/model of "love" itself.

I think most participants in this net are academic/technical people, and as
such, I'm quite surprised that we actually allowed ourselves to engage in 
discussions of this highly important subject in such an undisplinary manner.
Alas, how low can we go? Alright, I'll work hard this weekend to come up
with a model/architecture/system/whatever about this hitherto seemingly 
evasive concept of "love," 'coz continue to argue in this way is not only 
incompatible with our great profession, but also might hinder our mission
of extending real world love into virtual reality (VR).

How about Yu Mo Lin? I remember there was a midnight show on TVB 7-8 years
ago called Ng Yeah Lip Kay (hunting strange things at midnight), which 
is made up of funny short stories translated from some English shows (in a
style similar to American Funniest people or Super Dave), with
some local style of humors added from the Cantonese translators.  

One of the "translator" was Yu Mo Lin. She had a section of solo translation
(other sections usually requires more than one character). Every night, before
her section "Yu Mo Lin See Gan" (Yu Mo Lin's time) began, there would be a still
picture showing her in heavy make-up trying to hold down her waving dress like
a shy girl. At the same time, Yu Mo Lin would cry out  "Yu Mo Lin See Gan" in
a shrieky, high voice.

I'm not trying to make fun of Yu Mo Lin. I think she did a good job on the
show.  I wonder if any one watched it before.
