I am running on empty! Need food for thoughts!
Today, I am running on empty on what to write for ParkSihooSsi.com. It is not that I don’t have my stash of headlines…in fact I have like close to a hundred of them in my stable. They “inspired” me at one time or another! Yet, I am running on empty!
Some of these headlines have been written into articles already, waiting for me to review and amend. If you have ever been an editor, you will know how anal one can be! Each and every time you review something, it is inevitable that you will make changes. One is never satisfied..ever! I am the kind who just can’t close one eye and let it go type!
Park Sihoo-ssi, I need some fresh inspiration!
As I am better versed in English, my articles are always written in English first. Only when I am happy with what I have written, then I will do the Chinese translation. My Chinese is half past six, so barely passable. Chinese is more courtesy translation, nothing poetic or clever, just functional. But translation does take a fair bit of my time. So there, many articles among my stash are in this sorry state, waiting for me to have time to translate them!
Others are just headlines or news flashes, but with empty bodies. In other words, I got inspired by something but that inspiration got lost in translating them into an actual article! I will need to rekindle the inspirations behind these headlines and get myself going again! Don’t want to lose a good headline!
Please give us something new to mull over!
Still others, the articles are completed but I haven’t found the right photos to complement what have been written. I am rather particular with photos I use for my articles. They have to be just right to get the story across or they would detract from what I really want to say and come across bland. By the way, other than looking at the photos I post, do you ever read the captions on them? Try reading these sometimes…you might find them interesting, and maybe even humorous!
So, there you have it. My glass is either half full or half empty, however you want to look at it. To me, for today, I am running on empty…tomorrow, is another day!
Sorry, Park Sihoo-ssi, it is everything about you, but nothing on you today!
It’s all about you and yet nothing about you today! But we love you lots!
空空如也！
今天，我没劲儿为ParkSihooSsi.com写文章，太忙了，也没什么灵感。并不是说我没有任何的文章主题在“仓库”里…其实我有将近一百个正准备中的主题！在某个时候，他们“启发”了我的灵感！然而，我今天可是空空如也！
一些主题已经篇写成文章了，等着我再次检讨及修改。如果妳曾经当过编辑，就会知道，每次复习一篇文章时，难免会做修改，永远不满足！我是个看到事情要调整时，不能闭一只眼就算的那种人！
Some refreshing new ideas will be great!
因为我对英文更精通，所以所有的文章都是以英文起稿的。当我满意所写的，才会翻成中文。我的中文是半桶水，因此尚可。只能做礼貌上的翻译，没有什么诗意或经典有趣的，只是派上作用而已。但翻译确实需要花好长的时间。所以，“仓库”里还有文章等着我有时间才翻译！
其他的只有主题，但还未写稿。当时，可能灵感启发。但，要写实际内容时，失去了灵感！需要重新点燃主题的灵感，再次让自己完成文章！不想浪费了想出来的主题！
Some sugar boost for the energy!
还有一些文章写完了，但还没有找到合适的照片来补充文章的内容。我特别注重照片的使用，一定要对文章搭配，才能带出故事更深的了解，不然就会损于我真正想分享的内容。顺便说一句，当姐妹们看着照片时，是否也阅读照片的字幕？请偶尔也看看呗……可能会更欣赏照片的幽默！
所以，就这样。我的杯子或许是半满，或许是半空，妳们来判断呗。对我来说，今天，我是空空如也……明天是新的一天！
对不起，施厚君，所有的都和你有关，但今天就没有啦！
Gorgeous shot! Now for renewed inspiration! Tomorrow!

Nance though you titled today running on empty, yet the photos you shared are all that I have not seen before, and I love them! So is not empty at all. Those whose interest are in writing will fully agree and share your today article. One word one phrase all makes every perspective slightly different or totally different, how can one afford not to be anal, especially public page. And YES, I always look at all your photos and the captions. Back to the same matter I have always said, IF NOT because of your high standard and authenticity of your writings and your page, I will not be a PSH fan today.
“Running on empty?” it’s not true, because , as Chai Hua mentions , only some photos with PSH you share are the best proof that , as always , you have PSH in your mind, writing wonderful articles, posting gorgeous photos , bringing up-to-date news, a.s.o. And I think , because you love PSH, you want to be as Paulo Coelho says:” When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
Readers, each day to share, is relaxed! The author’s pay, is hard! The real world of busy, the article is scheduled to produce, is more difficult! Although the author, absolutely empty state, their love is still! Take a break, don’t take it too seriously! The theme of the inventory, as far as possible in accordance with the hearts of the thought, to express, is a beautiful ha! It is not in a hurry, half full or half empty or articles, after translation, Chinese is able to clearly express the meaning of! Every detail, photo, and language of the article are carefully read, and that is the most basic respect for the author! Focus, complete, do anything, no regrets!
