Dodgers Tour in Taiwan

Dodgers Tour in Taiwan, Eye-Opener for Fans...
The MLB Los Angeles Dodgers had a 4-day visit to Taiwan a few days ago, and played three exhibition games with the Taiwanese All-Star Professional Baseball Team.

My husband enjoy watching baseball normally, so when he know the Dodgers have come to Taiwan and the two will definitely not miss this chance to see MLB. Than, he spent ten thusand and we wnet to Tienmu baseball stadium to see the first game.

Most of fans came here and just wanted to see Ramirez...included my husband. Tell the truth, I didn't think Ramirez played great on this baseball game, I was a little disappointed.
Someone said due to jet-lag, the Dodgers' batters didn't realize their full batting potential which resulted in a loss in the first game.

Although this game was not very excited...my husband had a good time...becaues he saw his idol....ha!

Proud of you!

To everyone, there will be at least a proud moment in their lives...and I am really happy today!
I am so happy because my son selu is a Taoyuan County's model student of his primary school.
Selu....I am so proud of you. I know you are so smart and you are learning fast. I have to say....you are always give mom a lot of glory!

Many famous person are surprisingly humble...so you have to learn it!
Other thing you have to know that you are the most important person to me. Maybe you think I love your younger brother more than you....I am so sorry about it! I want to say I will always be your side and support you. I love you!

Today you and your father are on the stage together...I think that's a specially experience to us.
You are the idol of your younger brother. We are all proud of you!!!

Diary in English

I like to writer something every day.
When I was a junior high school student, I started to keep a diary every day. At that time I always felt a little presure so I kept a diary to talk to myself.
Now I always keep a diary but I try to do it in English. I think if I practice writing in English every day, my Englisg ability may improve.

At first, it was hard for me to expres my feelings in English, because my vocabulary was limited. So during this time, my diary was so short. I thought I didn't write over ten sentences.
Sometimes, it took me about 2 hours to keep a diary....ha ha...because I had to find the vocabulary in English dictionary. But....it worthy to spend time to keep a diary in English.


I like to write everything that happened in my life, no matter what I feel happy or sad. To keep a diary in Engilsh is good start...maybe I will write a short esssay someday.

First, finding a comfortable place and getting into a comfortable position are important steps to doing yoga. Loosen my clothing, take off my shoes, and get comfortable. Sometime, music can be a powerful tool in relieving stress. So I am listening to the soothe music while doing yoga. Yoga exercises can help improve strength and flexibility, reduce stress and increase circulation in several muscle groups.
Next, breathing is also another important part of yoga. My vital energies can be controlled using various breathing techniques. I can gain control over both my body and mind using the meditative techniques of yoga along with controlled breathing. Just close eyes and focus my attention on my breathing. Do this for ten or twenty minutes then I can more fully relax.

In short, some stress is good but too much stress will let you mentally and physically ill. Try to do some relaxed activities to cope with stressful situations. If you are looking for a way to relax, try to do Yoga. There are many things that you can do in yoga. The breathing, meditative, and physical poses of yoga help in various ways to quiet your mind and bring peace from within.

Hong Kong Disneyland---2009/11/15

Our family went to Hong Kong Disneyland from Nov. 15th to 17th. Why did I choose these days? Because my sons and I all finished our mid-tern exam, besides I didn’t like crowded places during the holidays. When I stepped into the magical world of Disneyland, it’s mad the dreams of my childhood came true. That was an unforgettable experience in my life.

There are four parts at Disneyland.

First part, Fantasyland…
I was like kids when I stepped through the castle doors and immerse myself in the place where Disney stories came to life.
Here, you can meet a lot of Disney characters, like Mickey, Miney, snow white, goofy…
Here, you can also watch famous characters perform in Broadway-style musical shows.

Second part, Tomorrowland…
Oh…this was my sons’ favorite place, especially stitch encounter and autopia.
Stitch encounter is guests talk to the mischievous alien stitch. I thought this show really very funny. Because stitch just choose two persons to talk to, my son, selu, was very lucky that he had a chance to talk to stitch.
Talk about autopia… to be an autopia driver was very easy and my little son love it very much. He drove this car four times and I had to line up for the long lines four times too.

Next, Advnetureland…
I thought the jungle river cruise was very exciting. The funny skipper took us on a boat to explore the waters of the jungle and we would experience the primeval forests of the breathtaking trip.
At this land we also watched the festival show of the lion king. Amazing show! It’s worth watching.

Fourth part….Main street, u.s.a.
Disney’s main street is based on a typical American town and there are many store here. Told the truth, this was my favorite place. I love those souvenirs very much. They are really really very cute.
The scenes were beautiful so we stopped anywhere and took a lot of photos. This trip was very exciting and interesting. We bought lots of souvenirs and had a great time.

Ok…talk about food…

I want to introduce three foods.

First….snakes.
There are many kinds of delicious and famous snacks in Hong Kong. Such as Shrimp dumplings, steamed rice rolls, steamed pork ribs and pastries. A restaurant for snakes, we call it “tea”. To eat snakes in the morning or lunch time is Hong Kong people’s daily routine habits. I love these foods very much whatever I was in Taiwan or Hong Kong.

Second, Roast food

Most people have tasted roast duck or goose included me. One new thing I got to try was the roast pigeon which is a popular food in HK. If you have never tried it, you’re really missing out some greasy food.

Third..soup
Soup can be said to mark HK ‘s traditional food culture. People drink different soups in different seasons and these soups are good for beauty and health. I ate a lot of soups there for beauty and my husband ate just for his health! I hope it worked.
To sum up, I ate a lot of food in HK and I guessed I have gained weight. That’s too bad!

My New Year’s resolution…

We will say goodbye to the year of 2009 and the New Year will come soon. A new year means a new chance to make changes and work on various aspects of life. New Year's Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. My new year’s resolution is very simple.
First, Get healthy. This should be on the top of my list and everybody’s list. Because I have to work and study at the same time, I always stay up late every day, I think my immune system is not very well. So, it is my goal next year to take care of my body .To eat healthy, to get as much good sleep as I can, to exercise like parking at the far end of the parking lot and walk; take the stairs instead of the elevator. To know when to relax and when to push myself a little bit further.

Next, my new year’s resolution is to further improve my English and practice it as much as I possibly can. To be a good writer, I have to practice a lot although I have more than 70 pieces of writing on my English blog. Then, Read English newspapers and follow on current events. The last is to speak English as much as possible---with my friends, on Internet forums, or to myself. I wish that I could score 800 or higher on TOEIC before I graduate from Lunghwa.
