Where.....will

Where can I stay???

I always try to find the answer.

But I usually failed.

The answer changes as I grow up.

I have many different choices during thhe past times.

It always changes when my dreams are broken.

Can I say that it never appears.

My high school roommate

I lived in the dorm when studying in senior high school.

In the dorm, I met many people and became good friends with them, especially my roommates.

In my sleeping quarter, including me, lived six people, all of them were nice guys.

In this picture, each of them was my roommate and I was included in the picture.

It was me in the upper right corner.

In the lower right corner was Vicky, who liked to hit Tai fist.

She was very tall and thin. Vicky was a pretty girl but liked to dress in neuter.

So I used to call her ”Gentleman.”

We shared secrets with each other, because we had known one another for more than ten years.

In the upper left corner was “Watermelon,” its her nickname.

She was the team leader of school team of women’s baseball.

She helped me to move the heavy objects and rode me on bike to merchandise.

This guy was really a good helper.

In the lower left corner is not only my roommate but also my classmate, Gill.

Gill was my class leader and she was good at schoolwork, sports, etc.

After school, you could see her jogging at the playground everyday.

She really liked to eat fruits. The fruit have been piled in her book cases.

It was really spectacular.

In the room, we had many unforgettable memories, such as drinking wines on the Eve night, having a birthday party for each star, etc.

We shared our joy, sorrow, worries, and tears with each other.

Even though we have graduated from school, all of us still remember the past sweet times.

Town And Country

Growing up in a small village, I was eager to live in a big city.

After graduating from a senior high school, I now study in a university which is situated in downtown.

In the beginning few days, I was very excited to accept a totally different life that I had never had before.

But few weeks passed, I became much tried than ever before.

I have asked myself why I would become so.

It has been my dream to live in such a big city, why I would be so low-spirited.

Among many reasons, I find that the differences between town and country affect me most.

And I try my best to get used to my new life here.

However, many events still confused me.

Though I am in the same place, Taiwan, I have met many culture shocks between town and country, such as the lifestyle in daily life, the people, the social values, the natural environments, etc.

And these reasons also explain well why I cannot get used to my new life in town.

Just like the ordinary people living in the village, I had lived in a regular way and always early to bed and early to rise. Even in my weekend time.

But when I was in town, everything was not the same.

They got up when I had finished my breakfast.

They ate breakfast when I had my lunch.

They started to prepare dinner when I had just thinking what I wanted to eat for a late night snack.

The moment I went to bed, they may ready to have fun. In country, we used to be slow-footed.
But in town, the much fast you are, the much opportunities you will get. So everyone has fast pace.

They walk fast, write fast and even eat fast.

For a person like me who is usually in a slow pace, it is really hard to get used to.

In the village, you could know almost every member of your neighbors.

Everyone was so energetic to say “Hello” to the people who passed by.

But in this big city, I never see the one who lives next to me.

It just likes that you live in an empty island.

Sometimes we saw each other, no hello, and no smile, I only saw cold and detached in their eyes.

I was really feeling down. How I miss the passion in country, the energy and the smile.

I miss the people who have unsophisticated soul in the country. I have seen so many business people who have emotionless and lifeless faces and morale.

They have totally different social values with me.

Compared with them, I am not easy to show others how I feel.

I used to hide my really emotions rather than show it.

But they let the people who around them know how they really appreciate and thank to them.

Take the way they show their emotions for example, they do not feel shy to say “I love you” to others.

Especially on festival days, not like us villagers showing passions in a blate way, they hung and kiss on the streets.

I used to stand on the top of my house, and looked through my village.

I could see a lot of green fields, watched birds flying in the sky, feeling the wind swaying and breathing the fresh air.

I remembered that I usually played with my brothers and sisters at the wide grasslands.

I have seldom seen wide green lands, since I came to this big city.

What I see everyday are skyscrapers. Even you stand on the top of one building, you still can not see the mountains far away.

Everyday I have smelled the dirty and polluted air.

The pasture lands may be situated on the one small part of a park which is located at your neighbor.

I seldom hear the birds singing in the morning.

Feeling that I am the role of "泰山” who can not get used to the life of city.

Compared with the life in town, living in country seems a lifestyle of elder people.

But it makes me feel relaxed, free and easy, not feeling tired and fatigued when I live in town.

To be used to the enthusiastic greeting between neighbors, I am eager to talk to the people who live around me.

I really miss the group, my neighbors in my hometown, who sit together, chat with each other, and have a lot of fun everyday.

Growing up in different ways and circumstances, we people who come from country can not identify with the thoughts and opinions of them, the people who are grew up in town, instantly.

Being a rustic child, I usually played and ran at a large field.

I still remembered how I was vibrated to the green lands which had the lease of life and abundant crops.

The gold ear of rice swayed in the breeze with the jade green leaves.

But standing in the downtown area, the scene around you is skyscrapers.

The hand you raise could cover the small blue sky on your head.

Living in the city is a hard and tough journey for me.

Since I decide to live in the city, I have to try my best to follow their steps.

Trying to find the balance between town and country will help me to live better.

nobody

Ｉ'm Nobody!
Who are you?
Are you-Nobody-Too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell they'd advertise-you know!
How dreary-to be-Somebody!
How public-like a Frog
-To tell one's name
- the livelong June
-To an admiring Bog!


This is one of my favorite pomes.
Its auther is Emily Dickinson.
She was a fascinated woman.
I read this pome from my senior English book.

Thousands of hundreds of English pomes, I especially love this one.

I wnat to be a nobody rather than a somebody.

Be a nobody, I could do many things that I wnat to do.

I do not have to take care how people look at me.

I do not have to worry about whether the paparazzi pry into my everyday life.

I can be myself and laugh exaggeratedly, not the people who smile all the day on th TV but never feel the real happy.

I love the way I live as a nobody.

The raining day

It has rained for several days.

Sometimes in the night, I can see brume.

I think that situated in this place where my college is may be the main reason.

Chang Gung University situated at the north Taiwan in a high latitude.

In the winter, it is really cold and has strong wind.

But it never snows because the latitude is not high enough.

Oh~raining day .

Oh~not a happy day.

I don't like the raining day.

I can't do things.

I don't have the feeling to go out with my friends.

Almost of my plans can't on the schedule.

Lord~~~please end this kind of raining days.

Oh~~~please!!!!!!!!
