Happy Birthday, my love
Happy Birthday, my love. Yesterday is your birthday. We went to "Holiday" to sing all night with our friends. You seemed very tired in the morning. At night, we went to have the dinner "sukiyaki". I love to eat it. I gave you the gift. It took me many days to accomplish it. I hope you love it. And then we went to eat the cake I insisted to eat. But the place we chose is windy. Our candle was always blew out. Finally, we still had our cake. I wish you will have a good time this year. Happy birthday!

Internet Addiction
Internet Addiction
Many people have known the words “Internet Addiction” before, but some people do not realize that they have this psychological problem. Bratter and Forest (2008) define addictions as “a behavior pattern of compulsive drug use characterized by overwhelming involvement …… with the use of a drug use of adrug and the securing of the supply, as well as the tendency to relapse after completion of withdrawal.” That is a person can not live without the Internet. If he/ she has to be away from it, he/ she will shake or be in chaos. People can buy things, chatting, relaxing on the Internet at home. They can do anything by using their fingers to type or click. Because of this, people create a new word “home boy” to describe such people.
Socialization contributes to the Internet Addiction. And this is the most important cause of it. Formerly, people interact with others by calling, meeting, or dating. We do not say they are addicting. But now, people waste their time to chat, to exchange information, to support what they like on the Internet. Chatting on the Internet, actually , is a very addicted behavior. Another big cause is the progress of the technology. With the multi-function of the Internet, people can do anything on the Internet. If you want to shop, to see a game, to watch a movie, you do not have to go out. The only thing you have to do is to turn on your computer and surf the Internet. Human beings are lazy, if they can sit down, they do not stand up.
The solution to cure the Internet Addiction is to stay away from the Internet. Those who are addicted to the Internet can plan to go to have some outdoor activities, such as having a picnic or just jogging. The main purpose is to make these people leave computers, just like formal people. We hope finally they do not rely om the Internet anymore.
Internet Addiction can cause many problems. For examples, there was a 43-year-old woman who was addicted by the Internet. She stopped working, and even gave up attending any social activities. She kept her children and her husband at a distance. This is only one of the incidents. However, it would be a tragedy by Internet Addiction. I think this would not be the beginning, and would not be the end, too. Internet Addiction can cause sociological problems. Maybe it seems crummy, but it still can form many difficulties. We should put emphasis on the Internet Addiction problems. If we ignore how important it is, we will regret some day.

The night market
Today I went to the night market beside the university for the teacher in the future with my boyfriend. I have only been there for once. It is very strange that I live in Taipei for nearly 20 years, but I only went there for once. So I asked my boyfriend to take me there. I love there food very much. We had steak, red beans cookies, takoyaki, and ice shavings. I was satisfied. In fact, my boyfriend and I wanted to eat the most famous beef noodles in Taipei when we passed by it. I tell him that he should taste once.(Because his home is not in Taipei.) Unfortunately, it did not open. I hopenext time we can eat it.

Basketball game
Yesterday It was the basketball game. I am the maneger of the team so I went to cheer up and to take down the record for each teamplayer. I love to watch them to have a game because It is so exciting. In fact, when they have a training usually, I always feel bored. I can only sit at the side of the ground and watch. I can not do anything. Oh! I should stop complaining. I think the old boys are very kind and every one treats me well. Every time when I watch their game, I always feel nervous. I want them to play well and win the compaign. The compaign yesterday played well at first. But the opponent came up with us quickly. In the end, we still won.
