Image
                   We all know that Woody and Buzz Lightyear are good friends in the movie ─ Toy Story .  However, there is another type of story to testify their friendship .       In Toy Town, there was a cow boy named Woody.  He always had a pistol taken by his side.  He was also a selfish and greedy guy.  But Woody’s friend, Buzz Lightyear, was a man with sense of justice and kindness.  Sometimes Woody and Buzz had quarrels, but they were still good friends.        One day they took a walk at the coast.  Woody saw a mermaid sitting on a huge stone and thought the mermaid’s beautiful tail was precious, so he decided to  shoot the mermaid by his pistol.  Unluckily, the mermaid died at once.  And then Woody soon took a scale from mermaid’s beautiful tail.  Buzz was so angry about Woody’s way of doing because of his greed.  But...

My Reflection of Discovery in the Science Museum

Image
     This time we went to the Taichung Science Museum to discover something special and interesting.  We chose one of the themes called Life Science.  As a matter of fact, I had been to Taichung Science Museum  since there was a great deal of exhibition for wonders of science.  This time, however, I have some different thoughts while I was operating the devices which can teach us about the natural phenomena.    In Science Museum , there were various devices of science which captivate me.  For instance, I was attracted by a device which can cause tornado intriguingly.  Through this device, it can gradually form a mini tornado if you just blow one small breath inside the device beforehand.  By observing the direction of airflow which was drawn by the fan at the top, to my surprise, there was a real mini tornado which was come into being for a while.  Certainly, this phenomenon was caused by natural principals ...

Extramarital Relations

Everybody knows the principal of getting married. Marriage is a promise for husbands and wives to   get together and   live happiness   forever. So it’s the time that you should   both   have mutual understanding and show consideration with each other, right? And, as you mentioned that men are tend to be a womanizer, which means   men who likes many women and have   short sexual relationships with them, lots of people blame men for their flirty character. However, you have to understand that not every man is inclined to flirt with women. Actually, if this situation occurred, it must have problem in marriage. But you know that whenever the problem comes up, you cannot always blame men for their character.   Besides, we somehow take in a stereotype which affected by soap operas and movies, and novels so on. Mostly, husbands are shown for bad side in having an affair with other women. But this time is not the problem of men. I think the problem migh...

Friendship in "With You All the Time"

Image
           Friendship is quite important for  me I think. In this song, Gareth Gates uses his clear and sincere vocal to interpret what a friend can do some ways:  a truly friend can help you at all times, a honest friend can trust you at all times, a faithful friend can endure at all times. Such a good friend lasts forever, for life.        Nowadays people who desire to get along with their true friends is so hard to find. Sometimes you might make a friend cheating you or even betraying you. In this song, the beautiful melody and lyrics show the sentimental expression for it.          The song With You All the Time, maybe you just hear its name, and t his song is not so popular in demand. So  you feel not so unique and nothing special. For me, h owever,  it means a  lot since it occurs to me a movie illustrating some special friendship. In addition, if there are no bea...

Thanks for Mr. Ruan

     Today I went to the singing class as usual. And I noticed I had made a good progress than before. Originally, I was stuck because my breath ran out of smoothness in singing. So I had tried many times to improve my breathing problem. Mr. Ruan was so kind and even gave me more chances to sing in front of everyone. Therefore, I felt full of gratitude to him for his teaching.      For me, I consider Mr. Ruan is the best musical teacher and singer so far. He encourages me to try again and again even though I might fail at the moment. Furthermore, I'm impressed that he never feels exhausted while teaching us how to sing. Sometimes I thought maybe he just owned his enthusiam in singing and teaching. However, it occurs to me that he owns something more than I've expected. That thing is the Love , which he treats students by dedicating himself to teaching a...

What Makes You Happy?

     What makes me happy? For me, t o be happy can be many ways actually . Sometimes our feeling and emotion can be transient or permanent. However, I like the happiness that can be everlasting. For me, my habits occupy the most part of my life mak ing me happy. For example, reading the novel and watching movies are my favorite things to do. I love it because the great meanings inside influence me a lot. It gives me the plot or foreshadows, inspiring me to contemplate . The spiritual soul inside also makes me feel mysterious. They are not a principle or sense merely teaches you how to do or what you should behave like something else.     In addition, s port also makes me happy all the time. When I feel sad or need to face the difficulties, I usually go playing the badminton. And I enjoy sweating on my whole body. During the process, that feeling makes me entirely free from worry. For me, it i s really a happy time to play!    Another thing mak...

Notes on Richardo Pau-Llosa's "The Unlikely Origin of Metaphor"

Image
Richardo Pau-Llosa,  The Unlikely Origin of Metaphor       One morning day, there was a crowd of people waiting for Jesus and listening to his explanation of the parable which people had asked. Jesus applied the whale connecting to the sinners as a metaphor. As listeners became thrilled, Jesus had disappeared without a trace, leaving a faint image for people to figure out.                   For me, I would like to question at first, how  many authentic metaphors d oes the Bible hold? Actually, i t is pretty interesting for reading " T he U nlikely O rigin of M etaphor ."  At the beginning, Jesus came into a crowd of people very naturally. And later Jesus was welcomed by a crowd of people. It was a pretty peculiar phenomenon for the situation since everybody did not react to the coming of Jesus, yet it was Jesus felt surprised for everybody was waiting for him. Further...
