Awww we did our best (?) and were pulled over by another class. Thus the game's over. Seeing my dear students felt down...I...urm...I didn't feel too bad tho. :P Since a parent gave me 500 NT and said she would like me to get some soft drink for kids, I then got apple juice for my class. They soon got better and started kidding again--good to look forward and think bright, just like their homeroom teacher. LOL~
This afternoon I had to take over a PE teacher's duty. So it's time to stay on the court and run after my students...NOT. :P I don't get the habit to 'chase' you know. *smiles* But fun to bring my digi cam and take pics while some of them were playing basketball, others were resting under the trees. Yeah it's quite relaxing and comfortable for all of us. :D

One contest Done
So it's time to perform on the stage, my dear teen-aged students,
facing the three judges and playing the flute. I could hear your hearts
beating hard because of nervousness... :P and some of you still tried
to keep smiling on there! *sobs...me so proud of you all!* :P Being a
homeroom teacher, I certainly remembered to bring my digi cam and took
pics and even recorded the second song they did. Well, I must say it's
their best performance since they practiced these 2 songs a month ago!
:D
Then we went back to our classroom and enjoy our 'Movie Club' time.
Belphegor-Le Fantome Du Louvre was not too bad, altho not scary enough.
Sorry to say so, you know...we Taiwanese has more than enough scary
topics in our TV shows or movies. That's why all the students sat there
watching and having pearl milk tea, which costs 10 NT each, my treat...
:P without a single screaming in the classroom. Now then you know we
have been 'pampered' in some way. *winks*
If it's fine tomorrow, we'll have the Ba He contest with another class
on the court. Hmm...what drink shall we get this time. :D

Minus 3
So I did feel excited bout my new toys--the TV and DVD burner, and certainly it's a must to try its function! The thing is I have to do a 'minus 3' while doing the recording. For example, if I wanna record the program on channel 33, I will set it on 30 otherwise the program recorded won't be what I want. :P The kind-hearted sales person didn't set my machine well enough I guess...but, I shouldn't call to bother him again I guess. :P Way too troublesome for him to come over! :D I think I have do rely on myself now and try to manipulate them!
As for anime...getting Prince of Tennis, and have fun burning them on the cheapest CDs I ever got--50 pcs for 159 NT. *thankful tears falling* :P I hope the quality can be good enough tho--can still watch them 10 years later, I pray... LOL~ :P Another anime I watched recently is Air. Well I don't think it's interesting like what the forum said, so far. Pretty dull...and only one guy surrounded by other females, from old to young. *sighs* no idea what the main idea is. Maybe I'll get a clear pic later on tho. Let's wait and see.

A very expensive Sat
Ho I guess I was crazy again! Today's fine and I couldn't help going
out to have lunch and look around at a shopping centre. Then...did a
big purchase! A flatscreen TV and a DVD recorder... *sighs* :) Well
what can I say? LCD TVs now still cost a bomb--a 36" looks good but the
price doesn't worth it. Maybe a couple of years later when the price
gets reasonable...I will get one. We used to record TV programs with
our VHS machine--it's more than 20000 NT 10 years ago! Yeah you can say
it was the highest model that time ( and brand name it is--Panasonic!)
But nowadays it's the trend to use DVD RW; thus I bore the pain in my
heart caused by thinking of the flying away money and ordered what I
would like. :D The best was that salesperson was real good. He came
over to teach me how to use them step by step, and even asked me to
operate the procedures in case I didn't understand. *shedding some
thankful tears* Finally I learned and then I asked him how much I
should pay him. He didn't want a penny from me. Oh dear Lord...bless
this kind-hearted young man please! :D He will surely be a great sales
person and hope he can make a tremendous fortune!! ^_^

Ba He (a tug of war)
Like what I mentioned earlier...this is the competition season. :P We
had this kind of sport (?) *wondering if it can be described as a sport
tho...* called 'ba he'. Two groups of students go pull a long thick
cord made of flax and see which end are weak and then get pulled over.
Usually their weight counts, of course. I took a look at my dear
students, who are in grade 8 and some of them still look like
elementary school students...*sighs* I decided to buy them soy milk
after they finished the game. Therefore, I was standing there, using my
digi cam to record their strugging and shouting meanwhile, 'jai you!
Lower your body! Stay backwards! Pull! Pull!' ( like a crazy woman but
lucky nobody was shooting me LOL~ )
Urm...ended up we won the game. -_- *sighs* How come? The Lord must
think 'hmm this homeroom teacher's so nice that we can't let her class
lose!' But...dear Lord I don't really wanna shout like mad on the court
again! *sobs...me and my elegant image's ruined* :P

Snoopy Case
Lovely visitors
Got Daniel's phone call this early morning, said he's to pay me a visit with Pony, who is one of my favorite gal students and now his schoolmate. They were classmates and graduated from this school. I was happy to meet them! ( I don't really wanna see most of my students again once they are gone you know. :P But I don't mind meeting those who are so cute! )
So we were all in my office, having milk tea and some snack I prepared earlier. Daniel is now the president of students committee at their school, and Pony quitted the Guitar Club and joins the Dactylology Club. @_@ I asked her how come...thought she's interested in playing the guitar. She didn't feel comfortable there she said...and couldn't really get along. Okay...maybe it's fun to learn some sign language too. Daniel told me bout his 'love story', which happened a few years ago. ( woo~ so young! ) He said they had the same interest--drawing pictures, and they often stayed together doing some painting or such for school. He thought the gal's nice, but the only problem was that gal was a few years older. awww :P That's why he didn't think they were good match. ( LOL~ No wonder he's my good student...the same thought! ) Pony was surprised to listen to his story and went, 'Hey you didn't tell me about this before!' :P Ohh~
And they gave me lovely present--some candy and cookies in an Iron box with Snoopy on the case. :P I took a pic and maybe will upload here later on. Nice to see you, my sweet students! :D

School of Rock
Ahh...this week is supposed to be another peaceful and pleasant week
for me, and things just turned so unexpectedly...fun...NOT. I got
allergy yesterday morning, and all of a sudden I couldn't stop
sneezing, and felt very tired. Some gal students came to my office to
have a talk around 11 a.m. and went, 'whoa! Teacher you cried? Ain't
you ok earlier at the first class??' I swear I really didn't wanna make
students worried bout me. :P hahaha and like what I used to say, I soon
got well after drinking more water and sleeping enough. :D
By the way it's the contest season for us. We need to perform on the
stage playing the flute, all the classes in grade 8. So that's why I
have to use some spare time in class to make them practice more! Well I
ain't someone who's crave for the championship, but hope my students
won't fall off from the stage and are able to play the 2 songs well. In
a word, don't they lose face will do. *grins* Too bad I can't play with
them on there, so my responsibility will be take some photos for those
lovely boys and gals. :P
This time we had School of Rock for our Movie Club on Wed afternoon. I
remember I watched it on the plane last winter break when I was coming
back to Taiwan. But the dub was German with Chinese sub, quite weird I
know. And today we had English dub and Chinese sub--much better for me,
and students too. LOL~ It's a funny one and Wendy told me she likes
this kind of topic. No wonder, you know...she plays the piano too.
I started to watch the anime Air, and done ep. 1 this evening. Guess
they are ripped off DVDs? The quality's very good, but the only flaw is
dub and sub couldn't match well. Some I watched before had this problem
also. Hmm maybe it's my machine or what? I don't know...and the OP ED
songs for Yakitate Japan changed on ep. 13--both are nice! I listened
to Soul'd Out-Flyte Time and found I pretty much enjoy such music, fun
and relaxing. :D

Not a tiring week but still tired
It's Tomb Sweeping Day this Tue, a national holiday, no work no school.
Then We had a quite relaxing Wed--I keyed in students' marks they got
from the first periodical test in the morning, and watched Taxi 2 for
our Movie Club. My boy student Jerry brought a digi cam and took some
photos of classmates and teachers. His is a brand name stuff, Sony,
which is better than my Texon. ( I know I know...I never heard that
brand before either. ) So the photos taken look sharp--Jerry looked
happy and proud after I told him so. :P I should go get a better digi
cam too, but *sighs* now I gotta save up money for my trip to Japan
this summer break. It'll cost a bomb since ppl who have been there
informed me stuff in Tokyo are real expensive. My $...is to fly away!
*sobs* :P
On Thur a gal student was to leave for another school to study. Daisy
is very nice and she gave me a hand in class for the past 6 months. I
pretty much relied on her and of course it's sad to see her leave.
Therefore I prepared a little gift, a bracelet made of pink crystal,
which means good luck in 'tao hua'. But since she's still a junior high
student, I'd say it can bring her good luck in making good friends in
her new class. ( And it's written in the card I wrote to her. :D ) Her
eyes were full of tears when she came up to me...so were my eyes. Wish
you all the best for your brand new school life, Daisy. :)
Fri we had our grade 9 students take photos for their year book. They
are going to graduate from this junior high school. That's why I was
there on campus sitting with this class and their homeroom teacher and
other subject teachers. The photographer 'complained' our faces were so
'stiffed' and our smiles looked very unnatural. LOL~ Hearing that we
all laughed and then it started going well. It will bring back the
happy memories when students grow old and one day they open up the year
book...'wow we looked so young and pure (?) that time! erm no idea if
this evil teacher ( they used to address me so, but they're so wrong
you know I am such an innocent person :D ) is still alive...' Ain't it
fun! :P

A day off
Today's a national holiday so we have no school. I have got 3 packages
of potato chips since the concert ended...like what I planned earlier.
LOL~ no need to avoid eating heaty snacks anymore! I never worry about
keeping fit you know maybe for my being a vegatarian ( not a good
reason but, I don't mind. :D )
What else did I enjoy except munching chips...let me think. I finished
reading the novel 'The Da Vinci Code' by an American writer Dan Brown,
quite a big volumn. A Chinese teacher, who is also a colleague sitting
next to me, lent this book to me, 'hey you might be interested in this
story.' And yes it's fabulous and I did get attracted to the mysterious
plots and felt impressed by the numberous witty lines inside. ( I am
not to recite any from this book tho. *winks* )
Moreover, I watched some anime...and got :O oh my the female president
I mentioned on my last blog is a, *stunned* les. Well it's ok, just
didn't expect that previously. :P ( and what can I expect from an
anime? some entertainment that is. :D ) I wander what will happen in
the end--maybe Mai will marry the Reito Lord and become the Queen of
Darkness. LOL~ ( way too impossible I know. :P ) *yawning* I feel
sleepy during day time...

Rainy...Relaxing...it's Sat
*Yawns* didn't do much today. Why? Because it's Sat! But I should have
had more fun if it was not raining. *sobs* Lucky I am always the one
who keep thinking bright... 'no going out' = 'no wasting money' :D
That's why I stayed home most of the day. Beside mopping the floor, I
also watched some anime--Teacher's Time ep 9, My-Hime ep 21. The former is funny for it's quite opposite the situation is for me and my students. :P ( well come to think of my height that is. ) The latter one is interesting also...the president of students' committee is a Hime too! :O She's my favorite character in this anime, you know, smart, gentle, strong-minded...and able to make good tea. hehehe :P Finally I went out for a misosilu hot pot at dinner time, yummy~ woo :D

The concert & April Fools Day
Finally it's time to stand on the stage...light's very bright and I could even feel the heat ( what kind of lights they are I wonder...definitely unlike the lights we use at home. ) In fact I was not satisfied with my performace on the second song...but the others were fine. hehe The best is I could enjoy other musicans' performance...really enjoyed listening to the nocturnes of Chopin. But too bad he didn't play my favorite part of it. The music 'Peopel always pursue the rainbow' impressed me a lot. Yeah...I would never stop pursuing the most beautiful rainbow all of my life. After the concert we were about to leave, and happened to meet the prof in Music Department who played the cello. She told us her cello was more than 200 yrs old. Woo~ I felt very lucky that I got the chance to see such an antique musical instrument last night.
Then it's the April Fools Day. Guess there is this line printed on my face 'I'm so easy to get tricked' and they had a good laugh in class. So far I was fooled for 3 times. ( School hasn't ended for today while I am typing this blog. ) In the morning I went to class 803 and saw a boy student writing something about Math on the blackboard. The class leader asked me 'Why are you here? Our first class is Math.' I was really getting ... :O for a short while. That I forgot about my schedule and went to a wrong class happened before. So...err of course I finally entered the classroom and did my job. Then the second class was 804, where I am the homeroom teacher and they didn't seem interested in tricking me. But in the middle of the class, my cell phone rang. Sure I answered it and to my surprise it was from the Grade Coordinator. He went, 'Hurry to the class 803. You should be there teaching now.' I went really... @_@ what the. The second class today IS 804! So I told him, 'No, I am teaching 804. There must be something wrong.' Back to class I told my students that I thought today is really full of tricks! Fortunately I had a break...and nothing 'exciting' happened until 2 boy students came to my office and reported, 'Teacher, Sean and Joe are fighting in the classroom now!' Oh no...the 2 fought over something trifle only last week and got told off by me. Again! I went out of the office, proceeding to the classroom...and found the 2 boys were laughing hard behind me. -_- Erm... still got a couple of hours left for April 1st. *sobs in a dark corner* poor me... :P

Roses without thorns?
So life goes on. Being asked to attend a concert by our choir master, I had to practice with them on Tue evening again. And sure it's lots of fun walking in the rain...NOT. :P However, after the practice I sat in a friend's car since he lives near my place and he's kind enough to give me a ride. He seemed to be in a good mood and was humming some music from the musical Carmen. Heh I said if I should go get a rose then. That brought up the topic if some species of roses have no thorns. I don't think so, and neither does another friend of mine. The thing is I turned down his offer nicely when he suggested he would get me some roses without thorns. LOL~ Roses are beautiful for sure and they are my favorite flowers, you know. But the meaning this flower bears makes me hesitate to accept a bouquet of roses from a guy. :D
Students had their first periodical test these 2 days--yesterday and today. So we only had school for half a day...yay! :D I went have a nice hot pot for lunch yesterday, and today a science teacher who just retired not long ago ( very rich...) will treat me veggie steak for lunch. :D~ hehehe thanks a lot ( and I think one day I will find some chance to return the favor. ) One more thing, a student in grade 7 came give me some gifts which were bought by his bro. His bro was my student and graduated from this middle school in 2003. He couldn't study well because of some damage to his brain...but he's been good and glad to help after I kept encouraging him that time. Now he's working in a shopping centre ( he called me and told me so ) and I am happy to know things are getting well. I told the younger bro, 'Thanks so much, but tell your bro don't buy me gifts anymore. I would like him to save up his money. If he keeps wasting money like this I will get angry ok.' :P He just smiled and left my office.
The performance is this evening...I hope it won't be raining again. Since I will have to wear a long skirt tonight. :P

He couldn't study well because of some damage to his brain...but he's been good and glad to help after I kept encouraging him that time. Now he's working in a shopping centre ( he called me and told me so ) and I am happy to know things are getting well. I told the younger bro, 'Thanks so much, but tell your bro don't buy me gifts anymore. I would like him to save up his money. If he keeps wasting money like this I will get angry ok.' :P He just smiled and left my office.
The performance is this evening...I hope it won't be raining again. Since I will have to wear a long skirt tonight. :P

No EB...no more.
Recently I read some novel whose title is Winds With Voice. In fact there are 5 vols and I read them all...guess it's not that true when I said work's been hectic right. There was a part in vol. 4 impressed me most--it's the moment the leader of all the priests was to give a welcome ceremony to the priests-to-be in the big temple. He sang a song instead of giving any other sacrifice at the altar, and here are some parts of the lyrics:
When I glanced back,
I was the only one left here.
The long waiting
would not bring back the happiness in the past.
What's buried in my mind,
I don't know
if it's missing or something else.
I can't tell you that I live well.
If one can be strong,
then what can you call the feelings
beside sadness.
You are only left in my heart,
so I closed my eyes
and saw you
I don't know whether in the dream or memory
is eternity.
I open my eyes,
I don't know whether in the dream or memory
and you are alive.
Even if you don't come back anymore...
Let me catch your existence in the wind...
Can I...?
Something happened and I was at fault. Like what I used to say to my students, when we make mistakes, it's better to admit and try our best to amend what went wrong. Thus, I am sorry for what I did ( the EB stuff...didn't mean to but seems it's done for ages ) and some step must be taken to prevent some further harm. Hmm...too bad I have been so immature in some way, and the slang 'old habits die hard' applies perfectly. -_- Well...what else can I do? I apologize sincerely...and then move on. It's a...Fin.

Turning so cold
No wonder it's easy to get a cold recently. It started to rain heavily yesterday evening and moreover, we had continuous lightenings for quite a while! I was...wah :O...listening to the thunders while walking on the street and prayed I was not to be hit by any of them. :P Ended up the temperature dropped from 28 C (yesterday) to 13-18 C (today.) *trembling in the freezing spring wind* I am wrong to wear a short skirt today I guess. :D
Students won't have fun at Movie Club until they have their mid-term next week. *chuckles* But I am not to be limited for sure. I just watched some Gigli, which some said it's lame ( on newspaper or magazines you can always see comments bout movies. :P ) I think it's ok since Ben and Jennifer look not too bad, both looks and figures I mean. I will finish it when I have some more free time later during break. But have to grade year 9 students' tests first--sort of boring work lucky I am used to that. :D

To or not to
I got a phone call from choir master a few days ago and was asked to attend a performance at the end of this month. Well...the reason I didn't go there singing is our practicing on Thur evening kind of disturb my schedule--it always ends around 10 p.m. and then my bed time will be surely delayed. Worse, when my bed time's shortened I'd become grumpy too ( the number one factor to make me grumpy is my being hungry...) That's why I hesitated at first while talking with the choir master. She explained to me what an important occasion that will be so she needs me to help with the choir; I finally got urm...ok then. It must be the dark side of my personality: although I agree to help, that doesn't mean I would stop complaining. Thus, last night when I was finding the scripts needed for the performance, my family had a good time listening to my mumbling: I'm gonna regret, yes...I am gonna regret that I promised I would help... :P
And another bad news. Really didn't expect I would get sms from that martin guy after telling him I have been in a stable relationship. ( altho I don't have any serious relationship with any guy but the Lord :D ) Astounded enough to find there's a message received in my lovely degree 3 cell phone! *blinks* Tell me what I shall do if I just can't slap that sucker in the face ( since I wouldn't like to waste my precious time and energy on him. ) The final solution was switch it off and pity...let it expire this June. *sobs* The # is good...but I got to give it up ( previously I thought I could keep it if the mushy sms would not come anymore. ) See? Being too optimistic is never good. :P
The sun shines...I have no OT since this Mon. *yawns* I brought my little NB and enjoys my break time typing this blog, chatting, and soon it's lunch time. *yawnsssssssss* LOL~ I have 2 classes this afternoon. guess I'd better stop right here. :D

Done
Heh this week is almost over ( so we call it 'weekend' ah bu hao xiao
:P ) and I finally have the feeling that I can relax for a bit.
Normally we homeroom teachers don't have as many classes as subject
teachers, for we got to deal with not only students' problems but also
parents'. Sometimes it's just a cinch but somehow you might have to
cope with very troublesome ones. Like the homeroom teacher sitting on
my right in the office. There's a hyperactive boy in her class and she
has to talk with his dad from time to time. It seemed that the single
dad would like to chase the beautiful and kind-hearted teacher--how
convenient if he was successful; the boy could have a nice homeroom
teacher at school and a good step mom after school. LOL~ too bad I must
say nothing is perfect, ended up she must tell them she's already
married and the boy told her how disappointed his dad got. :P
I really think Taiwanese guys are much smarter...or most guys are? :D
They know clearly they should pursue females who had better get a good
career ( to support family ) and good personality ( to take care of
family, won't run away when others are sick or in need. ) Of course if
the famales have pretty looks and figures, woo~ wonderful isn't it. Big
bonus! So I wish the single dad good luck. :P
This Wed I took students to Bei Tou for a field trip, visited some
scenic spots which are well-known for hot springs. The guide in Bei Tou
Hot Spring Museum gave us a lecture and now then I know we have 3 kinds
of hot spring in TW. Sorry I am too lazy to check the English terms for
them. Students were amazed when we went to a lake by the mountains and
saw the hot water under...no more chance to enjoy your life on earth if
you fall into the water like a dumpling. By the way I must say I am
grateful for the 2 moms' help. They went along with us and gave me a
hand when students got naughty--yeah we always have to discipline kids.
:P Furthermore I told my students if they dared to complain they would
NEVER have to go for their graduation trip with me in the future ( this
Sep prolly.) They can save up their 4000 NT and stay home for 3 days
since I don't want kids ( in fact they are teens in year 9 ) who don't
listen to me. LOL~ Poor students right? So bad the homeroom teacher
is! :P Let me tell you...every time when I held them an activity, no
one was absent, so far. :P
Ok here comes the weekend. I hope to rest more and have enough free
time for myself. You know I didn't stop working OT since the beginning
of this new school term until this Fri ( yesterday.) If they didn't
stop it I would be the next who had to take a medical leave!
Anyway...wish you guys, and myself...a happy and peaceful weekend!

Got a gift :P
Yeah I was teaching in a year 9 class. This week is supposed to be the
final countdown heh. :P The boy who sits near the platform the most
gave me a card in class. It's from Fullmetal Alchemist--on that card is
the main character, Edward Elric. LOL~ I can never forget his facial
expression when I mentioned this anime once... :P He could never have a
thought that the teachers here would know bout manga and anime. *sighs*
I started to read manga since my childhood ok. Why? Because my grandma owned a store which sold some candy and cookies to kids, and also there
were comic books for kids to rent. Yeah yeah I know I was lucky--free
snacks and never need to pay for reading right. :P
A colleague asked me to go looking around in the market nearby during
our break. I said ok ( ignored the pile of students' homework to be
graded :D ) and had some fun. Not really shopping tho, for I don't
wanna spend money for useless items. Well it ended up getting some
bananas ( 25 NT for 600 g ) and bell fruit ( more expensive--70 NT. )
Hmm not a waste if they are good for health. :P Tomorrow will be
busier! 2 classes for OT...and take students to Bei Tou for a field
trip. I know it's more hardworking than staying in the classroom
lecturing, but...they have done something good and I promised that they
will be rewarded a 'trip'. So...had better sleep enough, and must
remember to bring the better digi cam! :P

A not blue but busy Mondy
Some events for today. *yawns* Ah my shoulders are sore again. It's
Sammie's birthday and he asked me for candy couple of days ago. So...in
class I went over and gave him the bday candy--woo a happy boy's
smiling face's so cute! ^^ I had 4 classes this morning, and in the
afternoon I went attend a funeral with some colleagues. Our principal
went too. Now they use powerpoint to show the person's photos in the
'farewell hall' ( not sure what to call such a situation tho. ) I
didn't cry but felt tears in my eyes...then, I went back to school to
have the 8th class. And saw the gal student,who ran away from home and
didn't come to school for a few weeks, and her mom. Well well...I must
say it's not so easy to get my approval that easily. Once a student
decided to leave school without a second thought...he/she had better
prepare to see my 'bad face colour' and listen to some 'wise ( I doubt)
but not-so-cheerful ( that I have no doubt )' words from me when he/she
would like to beg me to let him/her study in my class again. *smiles
coldly* Why I don't let it go easily? Since the other students are
watching--woo teacher's so kind that she wouldn't mind our leaving
school anytime; she'll always let us in anytime we wanna come back so
we don't need to worry and just skip classes as much as we'd like to
heh! Sorry I am not this kind of easy-going person in my field. :D I
work hard enough and then get what I want in life. So I am nice to
kids...but not that nice in some way. ( In fact I never let any ex of
mine come back to my life again either...MY BAD! :P )

The third week's coming :D
Woo and now I finished 2 weeks big OT! hehehe It's getting smoother
in class since students are used to my style--they have known me
better and both parties, the teacher and the students, can have a
good time together. When we are joking, I used to say, 'oh it's my
pleasure to hurt an innocent student's heart!' And they pretty much
have the feedback, 'how come time doesn't fly...she's still teaching
in our class!' LOL~ Then I praise them like, 'wow good you guys did
learn from my talent oh I am such a successful teacher...*claps*' :P
In fact English is never an easy subject for Taiwanese students (
including the me before...*sighs* ) so it's necessary to creat a
happy circumstance to boost the learning. ( How come my English
teachers were not like me tho :/ )
Something 'bad' happened as well. ( Life is never perfect right. ) I
switched on the degree 3 cell phone to check if the battery's run
out. And not long after that I got that Martin's sms! @_@ I must say
he's more 'never give up' than me?? :P Let me translate the content:
' I told you I love you so many times, but you still keep quiet.
It's just like one-way loving...I have no idea when I can get your
passionate reply? I wish you happiness on White Lovers' Day.' Urm...
*chuckles* Too bad isn't it. I did have good impression for him when
we chatted on the phone last year the first few times. The thing is
he's dumb enough to do something nasty on the 'dates' ( I really
don't wanna call the going out watch a movie and have a meal 'dates'
tho! ) One's chances can be easily ruined by one's carelessness may
I say so? :P I don't mind staying single and, to be honest, it's
fine with me--I am able to enjoy my loneliness. :) Walking on the
street alone, I would look at the azure sky when the weather is
nice, or I would feel the coldness of rain on my cheeks when the
weather god's moody. Then I feel all's good and quiet, altho there
are other passengers and vehicles around...heh.
And of course interesting events come to me from time to time but,
but I am too lazy to record them all. :P Like a boy student's 60 NT
request after class... LOL~ well NO GOOD to say it I guess. OK it's
Sunday morning, cold and cloudy! Got so much to do...( to turn off
the celly is the first! :P ) Happy weekend hehe :D
