Hello and welcome! It’s been so long. Half a year. I’m not sure what I want to do with Annacircles right now – I’m growing out of designing and blogging, but this is a part of my past that is very hard to let go. For now though, enjoy the new theme, and maybe I’ll update once in a while :)

I have found my most recent obsession – Jay Chou’s Qing Hua Ci. The lyrics are very poetic and the song is well composed. For those of you who can’t read Chinese, Qing Hua Ci (青花瓷) is basically the name of a porcelain vase with flowers imprinted on it.

What I found interesting was the fact that behind a lot of Jay Chou’s so-called genius compositions and music is a lyricist whose work pushed Jay Chou to his status now. The lyricist’s name is Fang Wen Shan (方文山) and he composed most of Jay Chou’s best works, such as Qi Li Xiang (七里香), Broken String (断了的弦), Sonata (夜曲), I’m Not Worth (我不配), and etc.

Ever since college started, I’ve been trying to run regularly, but I somehow never quite got to it. But starting last week, I’m starting again. My plan is to run at least three times a week for more than 20 minutes, and possibly more once I get back into it. So far so good, ran 3 times last week, and after every run I do feel a lot more awake and energized!

Now I’m off to studying for Calculus. Test tonight at 6:30pm. Wish me luck! P.S. Silly me forgot to turn on Askimet, resulting in massive amount of spam flooding the comments, but it should be all good from now on!
