Merry Christmas Day, but Blue Frank


24th Dec, Its a Happy day to European and American, Merry Christmas Eve. even in Beijing, You can see that many local peoples are crazy for it.  since shopping malls, restaurants, bars, close later than usual, Malls and Restaurants are still busy around 10PM, even its 12 midnight now, you can still see many people heading home from little party with friends. as I work for an International chained hotel, its big day in our Hotel too.  in our ball rooms, we hold a Christmas eve party, all ticket sold out to Chinese(280 Tickets), and our foreigners went out for nice dinner, but also we have few guests who stayed in hotel for easy evening. 

Even most of the hotel guests head out for nice dinner with family or friends, but we still have few guests who kept me so busy, one gentleman was very nice to me and appreciated my work very much, but rest several guests, they requested many extra help from me at work, but it seems they did not really appreciate my work. I worked off my ass, but nothing in return, so I feel blue from my day, and honestly, I do not like to work during the winter time, because you meet more demanding people than nice people at work. 

And one more bad thing happened today, it was busy in the city, many people went to shopping and eat in restaurants, it was hard to find taxi from my hotel area(center of the town), so I took subway to north 4th ring road, then I got off the subway which I had to switch to taxi, but even that place, many people were waiting for taxi, so I tried to get myself luck to find a taxi, then I walked around the traffic light cross, big cross, it seemed hopeless since every side of the cross, you can see people waiting for the cab, but I gave third try to walked to another side of the road. after five minuets,  there was a cab heading to me from my left side, but one white girl was running to me from my right side and she did her best to stop me, my hand almost reached the cab door, but she stopped my hand, and opened the door, said, its her cab, then I said BITCH.. at same time, I was talking to my friend on the phone, and one second later, her sister jumped in cab already, and she is almost in cab too,  then it seemed she did not care what I said, but insisted to jump into taxi, so I said BITCH loudly, then she was shocked and looked at me, at that time,  her mom just walked to cab and waving to someone, then I notice young girl's dad was trying to get taxi from the other side of the road, then he run to them, got on cab too, I thought maybe he would be mad and may want to have a fight with me, but it did not happen, and after he jumped in taxi, there was another cab in front of me, so I jumped in too. its my first time to be so RUDE to foreigners, but she was the real bitch, two young girls both in their 16s I think, I am sure she told her mom what I said to her, but the mom was quiet, and the young bitch was shocked by my WORD.. for god sake, do not be rude next time, then there will be no one to call her bitch.... so its my story...

But I am glad I am home now, and just had several phone calls with good friends, and some email communication, now I smile again.

Merry Christmas to my friends.. I feel lucky to have you guys in my life.

Cheers
