My Best Friend

Jenny Yang is one of my best friends who I have known for ages. We were the classmates in the senior high school. We were randomly arranged to sit next to each other when we got in the school. That was why we became close to each other. She lived in TianMui area and seemed like having a wonderful life and family. But, she never showed off. She has a tough personality. She never let others take her down and protect me all the time.

After graduating from the school, she went to Australia for studying. I used to go there and took the English course with her. She took good care of me since I had never left home so far and so long. I came back to Taiwan when I finished the short course. She kept studying her university for a while. After a few years, she graduated and stayed there for applying PR. Then she met a Malaysian in love. Now, she is ready to get married this year.

Looking back these years, I have been seeing how she grown and got matured. I used to saw her in love or even tearing. I know she is a girl who never gives up. I am so proud of her and glad that she finally met her Mr. Right. I know she will be happily ever after because she deserves it.

World News - Skinny Model Banned

It is been ages that people consider thin represents pretty of a woman, especially in fashion industry. The models who appear on runway are skinny. Therefore, people think that they can be beautiful as them if they are thin enough. However, this issue has become serious health problem as there are a few models died because of anorexia.

The young girls try to reduce their weight by not having food in order to get more jobs from fashion industry. However, complaints come from everywhere that telling health official it is a problem has to be concerned. Spain is the first nation that bans too skinny models appear on runway. It is a warning that has brought everyone’s attention. Moreover, some models have even filmed themselves as a wrong example since they have lost their health from the eating disorder.

To be thin is a good thing. It is pretty and health. However, we should control our weight in a healthy way. For example, we can exercise or eat more vegetable or not to eat junk foods. If trying to be pretty by not eating food, we would damage our body and never be healthy.

Local News – Reopened Debate

Few weeks ago, there was an issue reopened because of wrongful execution 15 years ago. It was a case that a five years old girl who was raped and murdered in air-force private. This case has been investigated and been found that the suspect of Chian Kuo-ching was wrongly judged and seen as a crime.

It was horrible news threaten the society. Even worst that it has been discovered that a young man executed without conducting the crime but a truly suspect has still not been caught for a long time. This case reminds the public that there is a risk of death penalty as if a person is wrongly executed; the mistake has never been corrected.

Somehow, even the death penalty has been argued for a long time and the case of Chian Kuo-ching has been raised again. I still do not agree to cancel death penalty. I think the government should focus on a fair justice instead of just get the crime case done.

Movie Review: The Social Network

Facebook is a social network that almost everyone is accessing. It has been expanded worldwide now. Many people obsess with it because it connects people closely. There are actives happened such as games, advertisements, or friends’ current status and so on which make us know more and bring everyone closer.

The movie, The Social Network, is talking about how the founder creates the network and found facebook. I was not interested in this movie while it was showing on the cinema. However, after I saw the movie, I really liked it. Mark Zuckerberg who was a university student dumped by his girl friend. Then he started to write the blog and create a little game to insult her. He found the network drew other students’ attention. Then he came out an idea to form a social network. His best friend supported him financially. However, in the end, he sued him for taking away his stock proportion.

Mark Zuckerberg’s ability and genius were so impressing. How he founded the network which has been gathered the world close is definitely a good job done. Yet, he won himself reputation and wealth but his best friends. That was a part that I felt pity for him.

My 2011 Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is a very important festival to the Chinese around the world. It means a fresh start in the year and hope for the best ahead. Everyone is ready for a long break and meeting the relatives who are busy to catch up during the whole year. Children like to purchase new clothes, shoes and getting red packs while adults like to play cards or Mahjong. In the Chinese New Year Eve, there will be fish, long life vegetables and meats in the dining table for wishing a great year.

Normally, I spend my time with my own family during Chinese New Year. We have dinner and watch TV together afterward. However, I not only stay with my own family but also visit my boy friend’s family this year. It is really special for me since I am getting married this year. It means a lot to me. In the Eve, I went to visit them after dinner. We played cards together and went to a temple for blessing next day. His relatives were there too. Everyone had a good time.

We had only six days off in Chinese New Year. So it seems we just had break then we needed to go to work next day. However, I believe that it will be a great year for all of us.
