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.
Free writing

The Incredibles
Today I went to the library to see the movie with my boyfriend again. This time we saw "The Incredibles". In fact, I have seen this movie twice. But I think this movie is very classical, I recommanded my boyfriend to see it. I love this movie very much. It turned the old impression of the super man into a new style. Although this is the third times I saw it, I still think it is very funny and interesting.
Dj Vu
Last Tuesday, the Enlish teacher let us watch a movie, Dj Vu, featured by Denzel Washington. Denzel Washington is one of my favorite acter. The movie is telling a story that a cruise ship was bombed by a terrorist. A police, played by Denzel Washington, started to check up the reason. They found a girll dead not because of the bomb. He began to know the girl, even, I think, fell in love with her. In the end, he went back to save the girl and finally he did it. But I think the movie the most special place is the arrangement of the movie. Although it played all in English, I can stll catch the summary. I think it is a good movie. If I have a chance to see it again, I will be glad.

Bali
I went to Bali with my boyfriend last Saturday. The reason we went there is that we went to Tamsui so many times, so we decided to go to the other side of the river, Bali. We got there at about 11. Unfortunately, the weather that day was very well. We changed our plan to go to the Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology first because of the air conditioner. We stayed there until about three o'clock. Then we took the bus back to the dusk to ride the bike. I had not ridden a bike for over five years; in case that I would hit other people, we decided to ride the bike to work in concert(協力車). That was a very interesting experience. In the end, we stopped at a bridge to see the sea to watch the sun set. Although the sun was covered by the clouds when it reached the ground, that I could see with him made me happy. Finally, we went back to Tamsui. It was a pity that we did not fire the fireworks. Maybe next time we can go to another side to have fun.

Greenray
This Monday I went to see the performance of Greenray(綠光劇團) with my classmates. The name of their performance is Little Prince, which is one of the most popular novels in the world. Before seeing their show, I have read this book in my elementary school. At that time, I did not realize what the author wants to tell us at all. However, after seeing their show, I understand what it wants us to know. It lets us to know that if you want to know the true value of all the things, you should tell them apart by your heart, not by your eyes. In reality, sometimes we will see something in external. Therefore, we should learn how to distinguish thing by heart. This show is educational. I recommand every one to see it.

ZOO
Last Sunday I went to the Taipei city zoo with my boyfriend. Because we decided hurriedly, we both had many things on our hands. Therefore, we put them in the locker in the zoo. After I was in the first grade of the senior high, I have not been the zoo. We saw many andimal. We loved to observe the babies and children playing in the zoo. They are so cute. Sometimes when I laughed to them, they would laugh to me, too. After went to the zoo, we went to ride the Maokong gondola. We waited in line about 1.5 hours. I think it is very even when we sat on it. And it is cheap because from the stop of Taipei city zoo to Maokong stop requires almost half an hour. We went up onlt to have our late lunch. Next time maybe we can go there to see the night of Taipei. We both had a good time at that day.
SBL
Two weeks ago I went to the gym in Sinjhuang to see the SBL contest. Sinjhuang is near our school so we went there soon. We have already gone there several hours before the game started but there were so many people waiting in line when we got there. This is the second time I went to see a basketball game. I was so excied. After waiting for an hour, we went into the gym. The team we support is Yulong(裕隆). When the players practiced, we thought they are smart that they didn't miss any ball. However, when the game began, their act was not as perfect as they practice. In the end, Yulong lose. It is veryunfortunate that we can not see Yulong wins that game.

Comedians Workshop
I went to see the show of Comedians Workshop(相聲瓦舍) on Tuesday with my friends. We waited in line from about five p.m. because this show attracted many peple. When we were waiting, we chatted, even saw a fashion magazine. An hour later, we could go into the place. Because we went in line early, we got good seats. But some people could only sit on the stairs. This is the first time I went to appreciate the performance of Comedians Workshop. I like it very much. Some of words made me laugh out. After we saw the performance, we were very happy and thought it is worthy of waiting long. I hope I can have the chance to see their performance again in the future.

Forgetful
Recently, I am always forgetful. For example, I went home two weeks ago, but I forgot to bring my eye-glasses to school. Therefore, my father brought it to me on Monday. Similarly, I forgot my USB in the computer classroom. Because of this, I went to that classroom to search my USB. Fortunately, I found it. Good time don't last long. After I went down the stairs of school, and was about to the dorm, I found I forgot my report in the laboratory. Oh my god!! So I asked my boyfriend help me to find it. However, the laboratory was locked. I should go to find it tomorrow in case that someone takes it. How forgetful I am recently!!

Music and Lyrics
From:http://wwws.warnerbros.co.uk/musicandlyrics/
Today I went to the library to see the movie, Music and Lyrics, with my boyfriend. It is a movie telling about a man, featuring by Hugh Grant, who was a superstar before, and he tries to become popular again by writing a love song for a pop singer at that time. He wants a
brilliant lyricist to match him, so he chooses the girl, featuring by Drew Barrymore, to help him. After they work with each other, they find they fall in love. Actually, it's a traditional happy ending, even a simple love story. Why am I interested in this film? It is because of its theme song, Way Back into Love. I think the movie is very plain but the song is very good. There are the lyrics under the paragraph. So I introduce people to see this movie because of its song.
Way back into love
lyrics：Bob Crewe, Kenny Nolan
song：Bob Crewe, Kenny Nolan
singer：Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mya & Pink
I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into loveOh oh oh
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere
I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me throught the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end

Leann Rimes--We Can
They'll try to stop the dream we're dreamin

They will fill your head with doubt
But that won't stop us now
So let them say we can't do it
Put up a road block
We'll just run right through it.. Cause...
We can, do the impossible
We have the power in our hands
And we won't stop 'cause we've got
To make a difference in this life
With one voice, one heart, two hands, we can
They say the odds are stacked against us
But that can't hold us back, we will be relentless
There's a voice they're gonna hear
A voice so loud and clear
So let them say we can't do it, give us a mountain,
and we're gonna move it.. cause..
We can, do the impossible
We have the power in our hands, and we won't stop
Cause we've got to make a difference in this life
With one voice, one heart, Two hands, we can
We're gonna make a change today (make a change today)
Because we've got the faith it takes
To win this race, so let them say we can't do it

This is the song of the movie"Legally Blonde 1".
I love this song very much because of its lyrics and the voice of Leann Rimes .
The lyrics say that people can achieve everything if they don't give up and this is what I believe.
No matter the thing is so difficult, it always has the chance to be better.
Therefore, I think this is an inspiring song.
Leann Rimes is one of my favorite singers in America.
Furthermore, her voice is very powerful and she has a large range of her voice.
Due to these two reasons, I want to introduce it for everyone.
