Happy Mother's Day!
Today is Mother's Day. I just called my mom and expressed my gratitude. But I think most chinese people are not good at expressing emotions, particularly love. We don't often say "I love you," or "I miss you" like foreigners. I think it's hard for chinese to say "我爱你" (I love you) even if it's just to their parents. Well, I remember one thing that my roommate told me yesterday, she called her mother on her birthday and said "Mom, I love you." Her mother was so scared, she hung up the phone for a moment then call back. :D it's true! I am not kidding! This is Chinese culture. We don't all know how to express love for each other by using language. Chinese mothers/wives do many chores for her family, but silently. Today,I was going to tell my mother I love her but I didn't. Hmm... I just told her to "take care of herself" instead of "I love you." I don't how to express my complex moods, but God knows that I love her - I will always love her. Happy Mother's Day! :D
"I will always be loving her" indicates that there will be many more times that you love her, not that you will never stop love her.

I did not have any trouble understanding you. Keep it up!

It is the end of December in 2012, and there are just 3 days left this year. It began to snow this afternoon, which is the first snow in winter. It was cold outside.
Not every city in China has snow in the winter. It is very warm in southern China and seldom snows. On the contrary, it is very cold in northern China and almost always has heavy snow in winter. People may stay inside where it is warm and comfortable.
Ice sculpting is an amazing exhibition that attracts many tourists. Skiing is also great option if you go there. As a matter of fact, Many winter activities are held in the north, and some people choose to go north if they are big fans of skiing or just looking at the snow.
There is another option if they don't like cold weather. People may go south in winter to places such as Sanyan or Hainan province. It is pretty warm there. they can go to beach and enjoy the sea and sunshine even in the winter.
Anyway, just enjoy the weather no matter where you are.0 votedDecember 30, 20121Doomsday
Tomorrow is 21st December, which is doomsday based on Mayan calendar. But it seems like that will not happen. Only God knows when doomsday will come.
Don't worry about it. Doomsday is inevitable. What can you do even if you know it is true?
As a matter of fact. People are afraid of death though they know it will come some day, but at least not today. Life is short and should be cherished, but why do some people still choose suicide and give up their life? Maybe they cant' bear pressure around them any more. Death is probably the only way to solve these problems, and also a kind of avioding reality.
It is not rational for most people who want to kill themself to make the final decison at that moment. They probably think it is worthless after they calm down.
It is nothing after death. What else can be worse than this?
Cherish your life, make the most of each day, and be a happy person with smile.0 votedDecember 22, 20120cell phone
It is more convenient to communicate with each other with the help of IT products. A lot of advanced tecnology products have been invented. The cell phone is one of them.
What is your priority when buying a cellphone or other electronic product? The main factors in buying a phone are cost, versatility, fasion, and utility.
Those who buy for fasion think it's a symbol of status if you have the latest advanced tecnology products, just as rich people may want to buy the luxury or limited edition products. Wealth is not granted to all, so there are also choices which cater to smaller wallets. Cost is the inverse of the others. A phone with many features will cost more, but if it isn't used much, then it isn't worth any more than another phone that has "enough" features. Its only utility above that becomes fasion.Utility is the limiting factor that will decide which phone to buy. Your priority should always be utility. Utility is commonly a combination of both versatility and fasion. A man of simple means may be able to use a versatile piece of technology and would like to be fasionable, but the money required to purchase the item may have more utility to him elsewhere. The decision should never be about what you want, or how much it costs, it is about which one will give you the best value.
I decided to reply to your question while I was correcting, and it just kinda kept going... :)

I like the NIKE commercial, just do it.
Time waits for no man, just do it when you have good plan.
Be a man with a little bit of agressiveness sometimes, not always easy-going. Everyone should have this as a principle. I can be easy-going for non-principle issues. Speak up for priniciple issues and never make concessions.
You are probably considered as a weak man if you don't fight for something.
If you don't push for what you believe, others will push what they believe.
So be a man with your own point of view and fight for something that you believe in.A man who will not stand for anything will fall for anything.

What do you ( or "on your spare time")? Do you like activities such as singing, dancing, hiking, reading, etc.?
A bad habit is kind of an addiction, which is hard to get rid of, so do something that is good for you and force yourself to do it everyday, and it will become a good habit. This will turn the power of a strong habit into something that will benefit your life.
Once you make a decision to do something, never think of finding any excuses to postpone or give up. Do it rain or shine. It also can improve your willpower to do other things.0 votedNovember 7, 20120Picking Oranges
One reason to eat oranges is that you can have fun by picking the oranges when they are ripe, and then buy what you picked.
Local people make a living off of what the land provides. There seem to be more people who know where they can go to pick fruit now.There are many who are picking there own fruit.
There are many reports about food safety issues. The organic foods are very popular. Some grocers sell fruit which doesn't match what the label says. In other words, the fruit that they sell is not authentic.
Some people rent a plot on a farm, take care of the crops from planting to harvest, and try to grow the best fruit that they possibly can.
I tried to post this a little while ago, but my internet connection went down while I was typing it. :(
