Two against the World !

"Two against the World." the 28 years old somewhat handsome groom said to the 25 years old quite beautiful bride in the movie I saw last time. It impressd me, and I think it's the best age for both women and men to get married. In my opinion, it's just right; it's not too young, nor it is too old. It means to take responsibility for the marriage, children, and spouse once getting married. Marriage is the most important thing in our lives. People in this age have experienced a lot of thing, so they are strong enough to build a strong marriage. If people are too young and get married early, they would probably get divorce. The percentage of getting divorce over the world is increasing, and it's because of people are too young to get married. Also, of course, it's not good for people who are too old to get married. They are too old to take that heavy responsibility for their children. All in all, it's the best for men around 28 and women around 25 to get married.

Education First

Is it better to be a full-time student or to work part-time and go to school part-time? I strongly disagree. Book is where the money and knowledge is. In my opinion, students are studying with joy and no pressure. It is hard to study and work in the same time. If students work hard, and they have pressure. Pressure is the biggest enemy for all of the students. One the other hand, full-time students shouldn't cut the time for being part-time students to work. Too mch working could ruin students' lives. Actually, I am a part-time student and worker in a Chinese restaurant as a waiter, and it's really killing me. Sometimes I can't focus on my study, but I have no choice that I have to study and need money for my living in the same time. I'm busy all the time. I'm like I'm put in in process without any stops. As a result, I'm not a good student, at least I think. Full-time students should take their time to study, not to work for money, but perhaps a day a week is fine for life experience.

My all in all

Here he is. He is my best friend, who has been with me for three years; who has always stayed with me when I feel alone; who I can't live without. His first name is Trouble and last name is Maker. Yeah, he is my computer. I can't do my homework without it. I need him for watching movies online or download songs. He's my escape from all the pressure of mine. However, he has been getting older and older day after day. Now, he's almost retired. He's making more and more broubles for me. He's very slow and sometimes gets stuck, just like crashed. I have been keeping formatting him lately. I'm really tired and sick to do my homework or something when he suddenly crashs, and I lose everything! I do need him, but I think it's time to say goodbye to him. In fact, it's really expensive to buy a new one. One of the biggest hollidays, Thanksgiving is coming soon, and my friend asked me to go shopping with him in Thanksgiving. He said I could buy a new one with fifty-percent-off or even lower, but I don't think I will wait for like hours standing outside in a cold weather to buy it. What a waste of time, and actually, I'm not that short of money. Time is also my everything. Sigh...... Life is difficult, and it is more difficult without a computer.

the Power of Family Love

"Home is where the heart is." Exactly! I strongly agree. I have always thought that I'm one of the most happy poeple living in the world. I love my family and my family does the same. I have a merciful mother, who worries about me when I go home late at night; who takes a good care of me when I am sick; who always cooks no MSG food for me. My father is the one I respect the most. He gets things done without all his hearts. He looks straight into eyes when he has a conversation with someone. I'm always taught to be a man by him. It's good to have a older sister. My sister is five years older than me. She always looks after me. She solves all the problems and difficulties for me just like a general holding a sword and standing in front of me. We are holding in a small warm house. It's full of joyness. Here's the power of family love.

Identity

People in the United States are surrounding by rules. My ID card have turned into blue since I passed my Divers Exam last year. I was so glad that I had my driver's license. Actually it's a card that proves I can do anything. I used to go to club and drink often when I was 16 years old in China. It really doesn't matter how old you are to drink. That is what my country is, but i don't know if it's good for people. Since I came here, I have never gone to a bar or club until I was 21 years old. With the blue ID card, people call me ADULT. I just couldn't believe that. When I was without a blue ID card, it was just like a Lockdown in the prison. I went to casino as soon as I got it. I am not a gamble man, but I wanted to lose some money and experience how the world looks like. In fact, I hate gambling. I'm not addicted to liquor. Clubs and bars are the place for grow men to escape. I'm just one of them. With this ID card, I can go wherever and do whatever I want. What a powerful card, isn't it? Now I can feel what life is. Free at last.

Funny in Farsi and me

A person desn't like to read like me finally finish this book after two weeks. Actually I had been interested in reading this book before I got started because I had thought that it was the book for immigrants. I really enjoyed reading it. I thought it would be difficult for me. In fact, I could understand almost all of it. I loved sharing it with my classmates after reading the assigned chapters although we had different opinions sometimes. The activities for this book I loved the most were the Chapter Poster and Personal Memoir. I designedly went to Walgreens and bought glue and poster board to do the Chapter Poster. I found many Iranian characters on the internet for my poster. One of them was the president of Iran. That was funny. I cut the president of Iran out and used him to do my assignment. I made a nice poster I thought. On the other hand, almost all of the chapters reminded me of something that I have experienced, so I very loved the Personal Memoir which I did it for the chapter of Leffingwell Elementary School. I will strongly recommend this book for my friends especially immigrants.

My Fancy Chocolate.


Here's my favorite cellphone LG chocolate.It's the novel design of the KG800 that sets the it apart from anything we've seen before. It has an innovative touch-sensitive navigation keypad, which is inactive when the phone is closed and locked, but glows vibrantly red when you slide the screen up. Alternatively you can access these keys by unlocking the phone with two presses of the volume key when slid shut. When you slide it down, it's just like a Ipod. It doesn't look like a cellphone. In fact, it is a Mp3 player also. I can use it to listen to songs. I bought it one year ago, and it cost four hundred dollars. That was expensive. I bought two more and gave them to two of my best friends too since I really love it. It's the shame that its price has been decreasing. Now it's only two hundred dollars to buy one. It looks like a black chocolate. When I first time saw it, I loved it. I fell in love with it. It's very thin that I can easily put it in my pocket. It had broken once five moths ago. Fortunately it was fixed. I was so afraid that I would lose it. I was so happy that it was fixed. So, here's my favorite cellphone LG chocolate, the perfect sensitive cellphone.

Check it out. It's my cell.


Here we go. Here is my place where I study, sleep and enjoy my life. I couldn't take all of my bedroom. It's knid of huge. As you enter my room, you will see two desks. One is for me to study and do my homework, and the other one is for me to enjoy my life. There's a fancy computer, which is filled with a lot of annoying virus. I'm just too busy to kill them all. However my conputer is very important to me. I use it to watch movies and listen music. I can't live without it. I have two important things in my bedroom. It's one of them, and the other one is my bed. I have had a sleep problem. I can't fall asleep easily. I don't know why. Some people say that smart people can't sleep well because they are smart! They just can't help thinking. Maybe that's true. Every time I close my eyes, I will think about everything. Pictures come out from my mind automatically. Here's a proble for smart people just like me. As you can see, the bed is very important to me. I bought a set of cartoon blanket. I love animals and I hoped it could help me fall asleep easily. In fact, it doesn't help much. Perhaps I'm too smart. There is also a half bathroom on ther right hand side. You will see many of you when you enter because there are a lot of mirrors are hanging on the wall. I'm a person who loves to look at the mirror sometimes. So...... Yes, that's my bedroom, the most comfortable room in the world.

Sunny


My Chinese name is Xinyu Li. Xin means new, and Yu means sunshine in English, so combine them together is the new sunshine. Isn't it meaningful? This cool name was given by my grandfather. When I came to the United States four years ago, I decided to get a English name, so people could call me in a easy way. So I did. I chose Sunny as my English name. It has the same meaning as my Chinese name. I was satisfied with it. Since I came to a new country, I had to work and study hard. I never gave up and kept overcoming all the obstacles. People could see the confidence in my eyes. I got a mandarin girl friend after about two years. She loved the way I faced things with all my hearts. Everything was over in a sudden. The world had changed. My passion to face everything was getting weaker and weaker day by day. She no longer loved me and went out with other guys. She said I had changed. She said I wasn't the Sunny, who she loved in the beginning. Maybe she was right. I did change. We broke up. The pain was almost more than I could bear. I decided to change my name. I didn't really love the sound of NY in the end of my name. It sounded like a female's mane. I got Philip instead. One of the reasons was it was easy to sign. I can write my name without stop at once. I survived. 2007, I'm philip. I'm back. The picture represents me. I'm the one who is going to shine. Yeah, that's me, coming out from the dark.
