I found a car identical to mine in the parking lot and decided to take a picture and sent it to my dad, who had bought the car for me. This was his response:

Dear Elaine,

These two cars are very similar in general. However, I find three difference (1) you car is two door for more sporty look, (2) your car has spoil at the back for aerodynamic, (3) your car has V6 powerful engine.

So, you car is more unique and this car is originally from either California or Arizona.

I like the pictures. It is very amusing.

Love,
Dad

Dear Elaine,

In addition, you car has sun roof, two exhaustive pipes and you car antenna can go up and down.

Love,
Dad

My dad was telling me over MSN Messenger about our upcoming vacation to China. He highlighted a couple places we would be visiting:

(04:35:42 PM) Dad: We’re going to 桂林 and 黄果树瀑布 (Asia’s biggest fall)
(04:36:19 PM) Dad: There will be a lot of good “sideseen” (I hope I spell it correctly).

He meant “sightseeing” :).

Here’s an email from my dad addressed to two 30+ year-old children…

Dearest Aaron and Audrey:

Good to hear from you both. Health is most important. I want you to take good care of yourself.

I have started to eat slowly and spend more time to chew the food to get its flavors. Sit straight and bring the food up to your mouth. Don’t eat too full. Reserve room for fruit after a meal to get the right vitamins.

Next, you want to find time to exercise. Even stretching all your limbs, bending your knees and doing sitting ups slowly are effective. Make an effort every day and do more during the weekends.

Love from Dad

My dad sent me a really sweet and quirky e-mail one day during the first few weeks that I had started grad school away from home, to show me what he appreciated about me. The subject was, “An Ode to those special daughters”:

Good daughters don’t mind when you mumble your outdated “insights” and philosophy for an hour.
Good daughters let you win the argument no matter how wrong you are.
Good daughters forgive you after you make them upset.
Good daughters make delicious cup cakes.
Good daughters wash the dishes, clean the house and even swipe the hot-tub.
Good daughters never afraid of spiders.
Good daughters play guitar for their dads not minding whether they have enough musical talent to appreciate.
Good daughters study hard and obtain high GPA.
Good daughters share their facebook.
Good daughters are good and save drivers on the road.
Good daughters are so flexible, they do restaurant, retail and medicine.
Good daughters always call back no matter how busy they are.
Good daughters always present themselves beautifully even their rooms are messy behind closed doors.
Good daughters can survive bed bugs and share rooms with others for years.
Good daughters seek advice from you even on their romantic relationships.
Good daughters manage wisely their spending.
Good daughters get away from trouble and leave you no worry.
Good daughters know it’s all right to screw up, but just pick yourselves up and keep going.
Good daughters make wise choice on their schools, their friends and their careers.
Good daughters have dreams and know how to reach them.
Good daughters walk closely with God.

Praise God, I HAVE A REALLY GOOD DAUGHTER.

My neighbors have 5 Pomeranians that never shut up, so one day, my dad got fed up. I came home to find our fence beautifully decorated with: “NO BARKING DOGS ALLOWED” with the bright pink paint leftover from my room. I found it funny that there was a “beware of dog” sign next to it. :)
