I can't stop crying........

For so long time, I never be here.
My life has been changed so much.
I am especially sad today, for my work experience and my boyfriend.
I just came back from Washington. It seemed my back is nothing to him. I cann't hear any exciting words from his call.
Also, I was blamed to cry when I work at the aircraft. The purser blamed me for many reasons that actually not true.
Bad day...
Hope I will have a good rest this night.
Then I can face everything tomorrow....

For a long time I haven't been here.
Sorry, Pam, if you come to read my words, wish you don't blame me for not visiting your blog.
And sorry, Saad, of course I remember you. How could I forget you?
You are my first and my only friend in foreign country. Wish you good luck.
I also miss you. I just don't have the habit of usually visiting opera community.
The pictures are taken in the park near my family. Wish you like!

Just Me

From the time I was little, I knew I was great
'cause the people would tell me, "You'll make it --- just wait."
But they never did tell me how great I would be
If I ever played someone who was greater than me.

When I'm in the back yard, I'm king with the ball.
To swish all those baskets is no sweat at all.
But all of a sudden there's a man in my face
Who doesn't seem to realize that I'm king of this place.

So the pressure gets to me; I rush with the ball.
My passes to teammates could go throught the wall.
My jumpers not falling, my dribbles not sure.
My hand is not steady, my eye is not pure.

The fault is my teammates --- they don't understand
The fault is my coaches --- what a terrible plan.
The fault is the call by that blind referee.
But the fault is not mine; I'm the greatest, you see.

Then finally it hit me when I started to see
That the face in the mirror looked exactly like me.
It wasn't my teammates who were dropping the ball,
and it wasn't my coach shooting bricks at the wall.

That face in the mirror that was always so great
had some room for improvement instead of just hate.
So I stopped blaming others and I started to grow.
My play got much better and it started to show.

And all of my teammates didn't seem quite so bad.
I learned to depend on the good friedns I had.
Now I like myself better since I started to see
that I was lousy being great --- I'm much better being me.

What Is Success?


What is success?
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Why

For almost a month, he has been disappear
Never say a word
Just one time
I saw him
He went away
Without any expression
It seems that I am the one
Who should be sorry
Why?
I just want to ask why
You never explain it to me
Leaving me waiting, thinking, and expecting
What are you thinking at this moment?

Now listen to the conversation.
M: Hello.
W: Hello,Sam. This is Paula Handson. Sorry to bother you. But I'm having a small problem I thought you might be able to help me with.
M: Sure, Paula. What's up?
W: Well, you know Sarah and I moved into an off-campus apartment in the fall, over on the west side of town? Anyway we've been happy with it until the past couple of months.
M:Yeah. What happed?
W: Well, the dishwasher broke down. So we report it to Ms Connors, the owner, she said she'd take care of it. But a month went by and nothing happened.
M: Did you get back in touch with her?
W: I got a repairperson to give me an estimate, then I sent it to her. When I didn't hear from her, I had the repair done. And I deducted the cost from the rent check.
M: So what's the problem?
W: She called here mad as a hornet. She said she could have gotten the repair done for less money. Now she's threatening to evict us for not paying the full rent.
M: Hold on, Paula. It does sound pretty serious. But I'm sure you can all sit down and work this out.
W: Well, you are over at the law school. So I wondered if you would mind coming with Sarah and me when we go to talk to Ms. Connors. We're supposed to meet with her tomorrow night at eight.
M: Sure. I haben't studied a lot about contracts yet. But I'd be glad to help you straighten things out. Why don't I stop by at about 7:30?
W: Thanks, Sam.. You're a lifesaver.
