A biRThdAy paRtY

Today is Chopper's, my roommate, birthday.

And then, my friends and I decide to make a little birthday party for him.

But we don't have present to give Chopper, and he doesn't come back the dormitory,yet.

So all of us worry about this party and Chopper.

After have a phone call, we know he goes to Taipei with his family and he will come back dormitory tonight.

And there is an only question, the present.

Finally, we decide to buy some foods and beers and have fun.

Although it is a very simple party, it still a happy and friendly party.

Bed-wetting

Some children, particularly boys, may wet their beds at night(a condition called nocturnal enuresis) up to their teenager years. For years, parents have tried everything from humiliation, restricting fluids, and waking children in tje middle of the night, to some sort of shock therapy, such as awakening with a loud cound when wetting occurs. Most of these methods have not worked. Usually the problem resolves by itself by the teenage years or earlier. In most cases, the childern are found to have immature development of the urinary tract, allergies, or such sound sleep habits that they are unable to awaken.

A mOviNg PoEtrY

[To a Daughter Leaving Home]
When I taught you

at eight to ride

a bicycle, loping along

beside you

as you wobbled away

on two round wheels,

my own mouth rounding

in surprise when you pulled

ahead down the curved

path of the park,

I kept wating

for the thud

of your crash as I

sprinted to catch up,

while you grew

smaller, more breakable

with distance,

pumping, pumping

for your life, screaming

with laughter,

the hair flapping

behind you like a

handkerchief waving

goodbye.



This poetry I read in an English study group is very moving.

"Pumping, pumping for your life." This is my favorite sentence in this poetry.

All of the parent are love their children and protect, support them.

When children grew up and wanted to lefd, their parent just smiled and looked at the sight of their back.

It is time to show consideration for your Dad and Mom, isn't it?

The Sore Feet Song




I walked ten thousands miles, ten thousands miles to see you.
And every gasp of breath, I grabbed it just to find you.
I climbed up every hill to get to you.
I wandered ancient lands to hold just you.


And every single step of the way, I paid.
Every single night and day I searched for you.
Through sand storms and hazy dawns I reached for you.


I stole ten thousands pounds, ten thousands pounds to see you.
I robbed convenience stores I thought they'd make it easier.
I live off rats and toads and I starved for you.
I fought off giant bears and I killed them too.


And every single step of the way, I paid.
Every single night and day I searched for you.
Through sand storms and hazy dawns I reached for you.
I'm tired and I'm weak but I'm strong for you.
I want to go home but my love gets me through.
