Jamaican runner shoks me

It's hard to believe that just a few days ago, the 21-years old runner Usain Bolt was an unknown among Olympic elite. by the time I got home, I already knew Usian Bolt, had broken the gold medal. I leaned forward my seat when the runner capturing the world record by 9.72 seconds in the night telecasdt.

on the eve of his 22nd birthday, he's done it again. in the 200m, he captured the race. but this time was different. he didnt let up and end up the record set by American's Michael johnson in 1996.

so, he broke the 100 and 200 in one Olympics, and broke both world records at the same time, which has never been done before.

I just heard this super runner won three medals and leave his love to China. he donate 50.000 dollars to the Sichuan earthquake children of victim,

awesome athletes!!!

What can let you be addicted to?

What can let you be addicted to?

What’s the feeling of addict?

When you are addicted to something, whether it’s a substance, an activity or a person. It seems as if nothing can be replaced it. You go to sleep at night thinking about it, you wake up in the morning thinking about it. If you don’t have it for a day, it feels as if the whole world could fall apart.Yeah, for people, at least me, have this feeling.

For better or worse, I’m addicted to something, even cannot get rid of the feeling of it. It's more like a philosophy of addiction in my life or urs. My dad want oil and cant do without it, and I need a car sometimes, ppl want Croce shoes and coffee, and American want Hannah Montana or McDonald’s. Everything we want, we should get.

and, and the most attactive thing is... It's definietely...I think it's chocolate, however, might be the one addiction we will never be able to escape!

Memory my Summer

Here, In Ebaby, I know I will have few and few time to log on this lovely website from now on, yeah, One day you will be also leave me away like I leave you. As God is my witness, I cannot bear to see you leave, how lingering I am. But how could I do, life is always changeable, we stop and go. Sometimes I have to go. That’s like something like that. I can’t localize here forever. Just as some one told me , if you get away, you ain’t belong here. You would be replaced by others. But the most important point is that I cherish you, my Dear Ebaby pal!

_____________________________________
I don’t know when will you pass by my profile here Sis, I know you are always very busy, I told you I’m writing here. but I still wanna say thank you. Thanks for giving me so awesome summer days. I appreciate so much. From that I really study more practical experience and have lots of fun. During that days I felt I just like a sponge, everyday I can absorb fresh ample water. I think it’s much better than just travelling from here to there.

________________________________________

I’m back home, I haven’t been home for a long while. I suppose, well, yeah, Choose sitting on the couch, watching mind-numbing,spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing junk food , and, of course, Watching Olympic games, saying “Go go China”, maybe that’a the very staff of life!

Oh, I've wrote three parts, I wrote what I think randomly, it's really tough to read, damn, I write too much, I need goooo!

Hurry, child, hold Mummy's hand

ciciel — Sun, 25 May 2008 15:47:32 GMT

Hurry, child, hold Mummy's hand

Hurry, child, hold Mummy’s hand

- For the children passed away in the earthquake

(Mom of the child)

Here, my Child

Grasp mom’s hand. The road to heaven

Is too dark

Mom is afraid

you will hit your head

Hurry up!

Hold mom’s hand.

Mom will guide you

With your hands in mine.

I am scared

the road to heaven

Is too dark

I can’t find your hand

Since The collapsed walls

Stole the sun

I can’t see

Your tender eyes either

My child,

Get going on

the road ahead

No sorrow,

No more endless textbooks

No more of Daddy’s scolds

Just remember

The appearance of Daddy and I

We’ll be together again forever, and forever

(The Boy)

Mom,

Don’t worry.

The road is a little crowed

with many classmates and friends,

on the dark way.

we all say

Smile. And no cry!

Anyone’s mom is our mother

Any kid is a child of Mom

The days without me Give your love to those alive

My dear mom!

Smile. And no cry!

As tears can’t illuminate My road.

Let me walk slowly on my own

Mom I keep your face and Daddy's In my heart.

Remember our promise

We will be family again!

YOu can listen to it in my profile, it's simply touching me. I find it impossible to resist my sentiment to cry when I read this peom.

this is Chinese version:

《孩子，快！抓紧妈妈的手》 ——为地震死去的孩子们而作（感谢作者）

孩子，

快抓紧妈妈的手

去天堂的路

太黑了

妈妈怕你

碰了头

快

抓紧妈妈的手让妈妈陪你走

妈妈

怕

天堂的路

太黑

我看不见你的手

自从

倒塌的墙

把阳光夺走

我再也看不见

你柔情的眸

孩子你走吧

前面的路

再也没有忧愁

没有读不完的课本

和爸爸的拳头

你要记住

我和爸爸的模样

来生还要一起走

妈妈

别担忧

天堂的路有些挤

有很多同学朋友

我们说

不哭

哪一个人的妈妈都是我们的妈妈

妈妈

哪一个孩子都是妈妈的孩子

没有我的日子

你把爱给活的孩子吧

妈妈

妈妈你别哭

泪光照亮不了

我们的路

让我们自己

慢慢地走

妈妈

我会记住你和爸爸的模样

记住我们的约定

来生一起走！

fish and water

Fish and Water

Fish said to water

"You couldn’t see my tears cause I am in the water,”

“but I could feel your tears cause you are in me”

Answered water.

when I read this short talking between fish and water fitst time,i was moved deeply about it.but whether fish can believe water or not?

apart from tears,only time can certify everything ,only time could wear everyting away. While feeling is being reconcile as time gose be,just like compared water to time everything continuously diluted...

1st step is to clean the hawthorns,and then remove the stone.Then use a slender pointed piece of bamboo and string the howthrons togeter.

The 2nd step is to put water and sugar in a pot and boil it for 20 minutes until it's a liquid.

3rd step is to put the hawthorns in the pot,coating them in the sugar.

the last step is to wait until the sugar cools off

and then you're done

Being Honest and Open

Being Honest and Open

Life is like a field of newly simple snow.Where I choose to walk every step will show...

^ __Simple saying_^

You''re awesome!

ciciel — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 13:57:44 GMT

You''re awesome!

Consider...YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion... 　　You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity! 　　You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process. 　　Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today. 　　Paint a Masterpiece. 　　

Say something in my own way

ciciel — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 15:49:58 GMT

Say something in my own way

I guess most of people in the world are not native speaker,every person although may have different aim during their english learning,but it's quite similar. Apparentlu,learning english is a inexact progress,you know,very few people learn to use a foreign language as well as a native speaker does,Foryunately,very few people need to learn a foreign language like a netive speaker in every skill area.but i am sure everybody has own opinion about the feeling,you mey be so tired of instant memory.you may have a poor imitation...instead what is pure-hearted will be memorable,ahthough it's not completed and immaculate,I think.

These days i study in Ebaby,gradually.my feeling of english learning is different form before.i reallzed It's true language is a form of behaviour involving the human need to communicate and to be understood.language learning involves motivation,emotion,a sense of self,and a set of culture beliefs,language is much more than sounds,words and grammar,As i learn a new language,i will produce a series of successive approximations,meaning that each attempt at a new language will bring closer to effective communication.

sometimes,there is a process called a beauty of heart's expression. you should judge by yourself whehter you are happy everyday,It's so luck for me to study english and see my trivial progress.I never feel worried about...anymore.if I really could achieve my original aim,i would be so happy

A stroy, i had ever read,it occurred to me that 50cm is an emotional height,Someone's eyesight is just that lenghth when she finds somebody else,just needs the quest,not the result

Yeah,just needs the quest,not the result...

我想对大多数人来说，他们都并非都是说英语的本土人。学习英语的目的，每个人可能不尽相同.显然，学习外语是一个很模糊的过程。很少有人能和外国人一样使用英语。所幸的是，也很少有人需要向外国本土人一样学习英语的每一种技能。但是毫无疑问我们的目的大致相同。
但是，在学习的过程会有怎样的一番体会，每个人心里都有自己的答案，你可能在对我们对瞬间的记忆感到疲惫，你可能正在拙劣的模范，但那些都是用真诚走出来的足迹，即使那也许未尽可能，即使它并不完美，但是一切执着的努力依然令人动容。
这些日子在Ebaby，学习英语,渐渐地，对英语学习有了新的感受。我想语言本质上是是人类用来交流和表达自己的行为形式。语言学习包括动机、情感、自我感觉和文化理念。语言的意义远不止于声音、词汇、和语法。当我学习一门新的语言的时候，我会产生一系列的共鸣，也就是说，对一种语言的每一次尝试，都会让你感觉离有效交流又进了一步。
我想，有那么一种过程，放映的是心的表情，每一天过得快乐与否应该由自己的内心需求做出判断，对于我来说，英语学习，给我的正是我想要的。如果我真的能实现我最初的目标，那无疑是我的幸运。

突然想到，很久前的一个故事，50cm的惆怅。50cm是一种情绪的高度，在无尽的寻找中，他们只需要，寻找本身，她们不在乎是否找到
Just need the quest,not the result...

The littlest thing

Well you can hear this song in my profile,it's really a coffee music,I think.

Ciciel

what a nice song

ciciel — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 10:36:12 GMT

what a nice song

Have you seen the MV in my profile?Today I find the traslation of the "Qing-Hua-ci"...It's full of chinese style,There are not so much a pop song in china as almost abstract equivalent of its atmosphere:huge,sheer,seductive, beautiful, tinged with dolorous.it's really awesome:).., hope you will have the same feeling as me,how do you think about it?
Following is the lyric:
《青花瓷》
Blue and White Porcelain

素胚勾勒出青花笔锋浓转淡
The hue grades bleached lightly on the ivory base to sketch a pattern
瓶身描绘的牡丹一如你初妆
And the peony drawn on its body is just as delicate as when you are at your best
冉冉檀香透过窗心事我了然
Perfume from sandalwood penetrates the window and easily unbosoms my heart
宣纸上走笔至此搁一半
I might as well stop my brush, leaving it half-done on the Xuan paper.

釉色渲染仕女图韵味被私藏
The charm of the Ladies rendered by its bright glaze is kept as a private collection
而你嫣然的一笑如含苞待放
But, your radiant and tender smile is like the flower in bud
你的美一缕飘散去到我去不了的地方
And is so beautiful as to spread and suffuse all over, and beyond my collection.

天青色等烟雨而我在等你
The clear heaven dims its light to the verge of the horizon expecting the vast blur of mist and rain, and I am longing for you.
炊烟袅袅升起隔江千万里
Smoke of kitchen fires rises up high, and we are far apart on either side of the torrential waters.
在瓶底书汉隶仿前朝的飘逸
I could only imitate the elegance of the ancient calligraphy at the bottom of the bottle
就当我为遇见你伏笔

To pound the pavement leading to your world.
天青色等烟雨而我在等你
The heaven is expecting the mist and rain, and I am longing for you.
月色被打捞起晕开了结局
Moonlight is dip up, making ripples radiating out and the story come to an end
如传世的青花瓷自顾自美丽你眼带笑意
Just like the beautiful porcelain handed down from one generation to another, there lie your smiling eyes all through with me.

2.
色白花青的锦鲤跃然於碗底
Blue carp leaps vigorously onto the bottom of the porcelain bowl
临摹宋体落款时却惦记著你
And, you leap into my mind while I was signing it.
你隐藏在窑烧里千年的秘密
You are like the art of making porcelainwares, remaining as a mystery in the kilns for thousands of years
极细腻犹如绣花针落地
And are extreme smooth and exquisite as the fine embroidery.

帘外芭蕉惹骤雨门环惹铜绿
Outside the curtain, the plantain leaves have aroused a fit of rain while the knocker is arousing the copper green
而我路过那江南小镇惹了你
And I have aroused your attention while the way is leading me through the small town of Jiang Nan
在泼墨山水画里你从墨色深处被隐去
And now, your face fades in and out every now and then in my splash-ink painting.

ciciel — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 13:24:22 GMT

Random..

I used to write my journarl in chinese.but now I try to write in different way.Maybe it's a little hard for me to express myself in good clear English.but a well-kept journal will be interesting reading long after you've forgotten the cultural conflict and confusion that you experienced when you first arrived.
Every new experience--new responsibilities, new contacts--changes your perspective.so I try a new world.Though many of them will lead nowhere and I have to try something different,but sometimes an experiment does work and tells me something new and that it really exciting.
Every morning I tell myself:"There is so much more in store, greater things to see, new heights to reach, new depths to hollow."when I wake up.

History of love

History of love

If I had a camera," I said, "I'd take a picture of you every day. That way I'd remember how you looked every single day of your life."
"I look exactly the same."
"No, you don't. You aer changing all the time. Every day a tiny bit. If i could, I'd keep a record of it all."
"If you are so smart, how did I change today?"
"You got a fraction of a millimeter taller, for one thing. Your hair grew a fraction of a millimeter longer. An your breasts grew a fraction of a -"
"They did not!"
"Yes, they did."
"Did NOT."
"Did too."
"What else, you big pig?"
"You got a little happier and also a little sadder."
"Meaning they cancel each other out, leaving me exactly the same."
"Not at all. The fact that you got a little happier today doesn't change the fact that you also became a little sadder. Every day you become a little more of both, which means that right now, at this exact moment, you're the happiest and the saddest you've ever been in your whole lift."
"How do you know?"
"Think about i. Have you ever been happier than right now, lying here in the grass?'
"I guess not. No."
"And have you ever been sadder?"
"No."
"It isn't like that for everyone, you know. Some people, like your sister, just get happier and happier everyday. And some people, like Beyla Asch, just get sadder and sadder. And some people, like you, get both."
"What about you? Are you the happiest and saddest right now that you've ever been?"
"Of course I am."
"Why?"
"Because nothing makes me happier and nothing makes me sadder than you."

Hi

Welcome to my blog.I'm looking to learn, to make friends and reconnect with lost ones. Life is something else. You've just got to enjoy it all. The good, the bad, all of it. I'm striving to be a better person, a better friend to those who love me and a better daughter to my parents. I'm looking to make some new friends, to expand my horizons. Learn new things experience life more, just get out there and mix it up. Hopefully I can share some of my own experiences with others, be a good friend, and make a difference.
