Lollipop


It is a new band called Lollipop. It is in Taiwan and it just set up for 2 years. I like it very much. The reason is not only their songs, but also the process of their growth. Their nisus really moved me. They are quite young and one of them just a few months older than me (the third one from the left). His name is Prince. I like him best. He is very handsome and his smile is very lovely. Coincidentally, he has the same birthday as my best friend in the high school. He made a song - I’m sorry. I listen it every day and never be dreary.

sad movie weekend

This weekend, I have watched many sad stories. I cried again and again, and I couldn't stop until I was difficult to breathe. I think I am a sensitive person. I am easily to cry if there is something affecting.
The film which I like most is Koizora(sky of love). It is said about a girl's first love. The girl and the boy get together difficult. And after they got all the people's wishes, the boy found he had cancer. Finally, the boy died and left the girl alone.
Here is a MV for the film. Now I still want to cry while I am watching it. It brings me too much felling.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Today, we talked about Roald Dahl in the class. He is a famous writer. He has written many stories for children. There is a film named Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It is based on one story of Roald Dahl’s. I have never watched the film, but it sound great. So I decided to watch it at night.
Now I have watched it. I think it is so interesting and the factory is so miraculous. I like that place that all the things are made of chocolate. It’s wonderful. If I can live there, I’d never left.
At the end, I found one thing that the family is the most important thing in your life.

Black Beauty

This week I have finished the book – Black Beauty. It is a good story about a black horse. Firstly he is very luckily. He lived in a family and has the best training. He saved his master several times. Hid master loved him very much. But some things happened. The master has to sell the horse and then the horse experienced great difficulty. At last, the horse can’t work anymore and no one wants him. He became old and weak. Fortunately, the master found his horse at the end. Black Beauty went back to his home.

Yesterday

Yesterday Emma and I were absent for the class. Actually, we really regret it. But I can’t control this situation. Yesterday morning, I was keeping awake to do the homework. At last, I have to write an essay. But I have no idea about the topic. I was thinking for a long time. After I finished it, it was nearly 5am. Emma was an hour earlier than I. She asked me to give her a morning call. But I was very tired and had a slight headache at that time. So I went to bed and fall asleep immediately. I think I slept like a log, and I forgot the time to wake up. Of course, I forgot to call Emma. When Emma called me, it was nearly 2pm. It was too late to go to school and we haven’t eaten anything. Then we decide to go to the library after a late lunch. We do the self-study until 7pm.

What couldn't I live without

Haha...Conan and InuYasha! Who drew the picture? I have to admit that you're so talented!
In fact, I love these two animes very much. When I was 15 years old, I started to watch the anime. I loved it very much. And I watched them more and more. Later I began to learn the Japanese by myself because all the great anime says Japanese. So I can say that I couldn’t live without it. Although it isn’t the most important things of my life, I’d like to watch them at all time. It just likes the dinner or water for me, I need them every day.

This comic is Death Note. It is the first English comic I've bought!

Adrenalin

Last October, I was lost in the city center because I didn’t know the way well. It was a Sunday. I got up at 10am. Then I went to city center to buy some food for cooking. I knew the way to the market very well, but after I bought all the things, I couldn’t find the back. The market was big, but I just been to the other side of it. I thought it would be easy to get back to the way which I came. However, I was wrong. The roads in England are so hard to go. They always are tortuous. When you walk on it you will never find that you have already changed the direction. I went forward and then I found all the buildings around me were strange. At this time, I realized that I have lost my way! I was a little afraid. But there were many people also walked on this road. So I followed them and thought it would be another way. After few minutes, these people who walked in front of me got into a bar! Then I became alone on this road. I was more and more afraid. I want to turn round but I didn’t know the way too! It was near 3pm and the things which I bought were very heavy. I have no time to be afraid. Then I decided to keep going forward. Fortunately, I found the main road which surrounds the city center. I walked along it and I found the university which beside my accommodation. Finally, I went back to my room.

All the traditional festivals are kept with the lunar calendar. In the past, the Qixi was an important festival for girls. It was also called daughters’ day. In the evening of that day, the girls got together and sat in the courtyards. They put many snacks and fruits on the table, such as peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, watermelons and so on. Then they did the needlework and prayed to Qijie reverently. They believe that the fairy would gives them intelligent mind and dexterous hands. It is said that looked up to the sky at the night of Qixi, you can see the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid meet at the galaxy. Therefore, girls also prayed for good love. It was a very romantic day in ancient China. Nowadays, the Qixi festival becomes the Chinese Valentine's Day. At night, all the young lovers stay with each other and enjoy the sweet time.
