i don't know what to do

hey, you, what are you doing?
actually, i have no idea what i was doing in this afternoon.
i have no case to report, no translation to do, well, it's a very easy afternoon. and believe me, i don't feel guilty of doing nothing. what happen to me? i want to be actively in work, but since this is not what i had thought. everyone says if you had nothing to do, just msn or hang around. but i know they might rat on you. so maybe it's better to keep on pretending. seems nobody cares. that's pathetic.
it's raining, how sad. what a gloomy friday to live.

the loneliness among people

what is the beauty of being alone?
for my current situation, i think the beautiful point about being alone is do anything i want, without any obligation and duties. going to lunch alone, hanging in the night market alone, traveling alone and always taking photos without myself. that's the beauty of loneliness. i have cats but i can't talk to them. how is that possible to think that cats (or pets) can be one's companions after thinking that these cats might just eat your corpse if you had a sudden death. you flesh is their companion, the best canned food they can find.
do i resent being alone? no, it's been a while that i enjoy the total solitude, to myself only, and accept it. drinking coffee alone in the cafe and enjoy the happiness of being neglected, enjoy the crowd, and imagine the scent of a pretty woman that has arousing legs. that's the essence of being alone. living alone is not that you hate others or vice versa, it's an attitude inside you.

what does it take to be a good translator?

i love doing translation work, and i have studied in this field for almost a decade. and sometimes i still don't think my learning is sufficient for me to be a worthy translator. while i am doing my translation job in the company, i keep thinking are there other possibilities that i can refine my translation skills? the answer might be fuzzy, since the only way i can think of is practice. and practice makes perfect, isn't it? no so, after i reflect all these years in the field.
what does it take to be a good translator? personality does matter.and the most important thing is not to consider myself as a translator, rather i should pretend as a students in the university of society. yes, learning is the key to be a better translator, but keep learning is what it takes to be good at playing with words.
