A song

Big, big world　　　　Emilia

I'm a big, big girl
In a big, big world
It's not a big, big thing
If you leave me

But I do, do feel
That I do, do will
Miss you much
Miss you so much

I can see the first leaf falling
It's all so yellow and nice
It's so very cold outside
Like the way I'm feeling inside

Outside it's now raining
And tears are falling from my eyes
Why did it have to happen
Why did it all have to end

I have your arms around me
Warm like fire
But when I open my eyes
You're gone

It’s a song that I heard recently. When I first time listens to this song, I love the melody and the lyric. It’s talked about a girl’s feeling. The girl is missing someone who she loves. Although she told herself that it’s not a big thing if the one leaves her, she still very misses him. The feeling is ambivalence. I think the girl really loves him, so she has very impressing memory. I am intoxicated with the dulcet melody.

Independence

Everyone will grow up and learn to become independence. Sometimes I confuse whether growing up is a good thing or not. Now I still don’t know this answer clearly. I am still finding this answer. When I was a child, my parents would take care of me. They attend to my diet and clothing. They also concerned about my future and my life.. I can feel their full love. They brought me a lot of happiness and a sense of safety.However, now I am 20 years old, I need to take care myself. One is I am far from my parents. Two is I am adult. I need to learn independence. I can't always dependence on my parents. They will become old. When that time, it will return me to support them and concern about their life and their health. I love them forever~

Experiment

In all subject I like experiments best of all. I think doing experiments can learn more than just listening to teacher teaching. I can know the principle of the biology and the basic element through the experiment. Every time I walk into the laboratory. I feel I am professional and like an expert. I feel very happy. In the laboratory I can use special apparatus such as microscope, piptman and cuvette. In recently, I dissect a frog. That is a special experience. I can look its bowels clearly. I need to rebuild the frog’s bone in the end. I spent a lot of time on it. Finally, I am satisfied at my frog. I look forward to the life in the laboratory in my future. I think that will be very interesting. I can't wait that day coming!

Hakka culture

My mom is a Hakka which was born in Pingtung. She told me something about Hakka culture. "Liouduei Martyrs Shrine(六堆忠烈祠) and Hakka Culture Museum(客家文物館).”are two good places to know Hakka culture.

Liouduei Martyrs Shrine located in Chutien(竹田) Township. That is the spiritual center for Hakka people. Liouduei Martyrs Shrine is built to commemorate the Hakka ancestor who protected the homeland. The design is based on traditional Hakka architecture, so you can observe some of the Hakka culture in its design.

Hakka Culture Museum sits behind the Liouduei Martyrs Shrine. There are exhibits of history and culture artifacts of Pingtung's Hakka people such as blue shirts. The architecture of the Hakka Culture Museum is also unique. The design of the building is based on the traditional Hakka living compound that was built in semicircle. Activities such as Hakka culture exhibitions and folk song classes are held here.

Go Home~

I live in Pingtung, but I came to here to study. Because of the distance I can't often go home. Last week I was homesick, so I decided to go home. I took an airplane to Pingtung. When I saw my parents and younger brother, I was so happy that I can't say any words. I don't know I miss them very much until I saw them. That night we talked a lot about my recent life, including my friends, my teachers and my problems. My parents listened to me and helped me solve my problems. They are so nice that I don't want to leave them, but I still have to go to CGU to be responsible for myself. Although now they are far from me, I know they love me as before.

Birthday!!

I had a special birthday this year!! My friends sang a birthday song and bought a big and delicious cake for me. I was delight. After I finish the cake, I thought everything was finished. However, the matter was diffe rent from my thought. They gave me a map. I was confused. I didn’t know what happen until they told me that I had to find the presents by myself. I was excited. I followed the clews to find and find. I spent a lot of time and energy searching the campus. Sometimes I felt disappointed but sometimes I felt surprised. Finally, I found my presents. I was very happy because they bought me the presents which I wanted. I am extremely pleasure to make a company with them, my best friends. I love you!!

Tawian's passion for baseball

The Olympic Qualifying Tournamaent begin recently. Baseball arouse Taiwan’s passion again. A blogger said, she love the game! The qualifier was getting everybody together. This was what life should be about: joy, tears and passion. The reason why baseball is so alluring is that baseball has provided a healing and unifying force that could not be found elsewhere in the nation. The profile of Taiwan was still an unknown member of the international community is the other reason so people in Taiwan value performances in international games, above all things.

Just as researcher Hsieh Shih-yuan says the game is a healing force in country. Baseball game in Taiwan has been an important exercise since the Taiwan won over the Japanese in 1931. Because the profile of Taiwan was still an unknown member of the international community, baseball game can represent our country in the stage of world. Baseball game also can get everyone together and show joy, tears and passion in life.
