My sweetheart
No. It is not you, honey. I am not complaining and you shouldn’t be either. So, who is it? I don’t know if other families are like ours. Everything changes after we have kids. Our eyes no longer rest on each other, but on the little people we have.

How to be politically correct?
If you ask me, you are asking the wrong person. As someone who hides nothing on her face, who says almost everything on her mind, who sucks at communication, I am the last person who knows how to be politically correct.
I hate office politics. I don’t know how to shield myself from harm’s way, so I try to stay away from it. However, I do occasionally get drag into it. This time, I was tasked to manage a high profile project with significant impact to the company. The owner wants it delivered in no time. However, operational procedures and approaches weren’t defined and finalized. It is impossible to manage a moving target. Usually we will have the luxury to keep exploring different options if we have the time. However, with a tight deadline, we should be moving into design and build now, rather than exploring alternatives.
Similes (明喻) vs. Metaphor (暗喻)
(A) Similes (明喻) are figures of speech, explicit comparisons between two unlike things, using “like” or “as” and the like, to suggest the resemblance.
When “this” appears in front of an adjective, it is used as an adverb to modify the adjective, meaning: “to the extent or degree indicated, 如此的”
For example:
(1) Ogle
= to look flirtatiously, to stare at (someone) lustfully,
to look at (someone) with obvious sexual interest.
拋媚眼, 送秋波
She has been ogling the man for some time.
