Tandem Story

This assignment was actually turned in by two of my English students:

Rebecca ... and Gary ...
English 44A, SMU
Creative Writing
Professor Miller In-class Assignment for Wednesday: One of you will then write the first paragraph of a short story. The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back and forth. Remember to reread what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached.


At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question.

Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S. Harris to Geostation 17," he said into his transgalactic communicator. "Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far..." But before he could sign off a bluish partical beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.

He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. "Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel." Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth - when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspapers to read, no television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. "Why must one lose one's innocence to become a woman?" she pondered wistfully.

Little did she know, but she has less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Anu'udrian mothership launched the first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy peaceniks who pushed the Unilateral Aerospace Disarmament Treaty through Congress had left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion which vaporized Laurie and 85 million other Americans. The President slammed his fist on the conference table. "We can't allow this! I'm going to veto that treaty! Let's blow 'em out of the sky!"

This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic, semi-literate adolescent.

Yeah? Well, you're a self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium.

Asshole.

Bitch.

Love thy Parents ❤

Parents, sometimes, they are harsh to us...
They scold and hit us
when we waste our foods...
when we are naughty...
when we didn't hear their advice...
when we break the cups...
or the plates...
when we spill the drink...
when we done something wrong...
fighting..
stealing...
bullying...
swearing...
stubborn...
lazy...
didn't do homeworks...
and many more...

But! Remember...
Their Love and Care for us....
when we sick, they are the one who stay up all night and take care of us at our side...
when we're injured, they are the one who find those medicines or rush us to the hospital...
when we haven't learn to stand nor walk, they are the one who support us...
when we're in danger, they are the one who step out trying to protect us...

They are....they are...they are the one who give us all of this...
They gave us love...
They gave us money...
They gave us happiness...
They gave us pain...
But, the best thing they have given us is.....LIFE...
yes, they gave us life...
Thru life,
we felt what we feel now...
we experienced happiness,
sorrow...
tears...
laughter...
pain...
heartbroken...
happy...
And thru them, we get to know this World...
Without them, we are nothing...

Remember! They both are the only parents in our life...
And they too someday will pass away...
So, love thy parents before it's too late

Not So Dumb Blonde

A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from Los Angeles to New York.

The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer
persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.

He says, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me five dollars, and vice versa."

Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep.

The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500."

This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment, agrees to the game.

The lawyer asks the first question: "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?"

The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill, and hands it to the lawyer.

"Okay," says the lawyer, "your turn."

She asks, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?"

The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references ... no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the Internet and the Library of Congress ... no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers but to no avail.

After an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500.

The blonde thanks him and turns back to get some more sleep.

The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, stirs the blonde and asks, "Well, what's the answer?"

Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.


Time for a Rush

考试要到了...还有很多很多的温习需要赶...我知道这一切都怪我,是我不好好努力读书,懒惰做功课... 所以,现在我需要好好的用我的时间来温习...哈哈

For all the students who will face exams soon, i wish you all good luck and all the best!

The best way to live is to appreciate each minute as an unrepeatable miracle. Work at your work and play at your play. Don't try to borrow from your future. Accept that now is the best time of your life.

Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it.

The most painful thing to experience is not defeat but regret.

Doubt whom you will, but never doubt yourself.

Doing your best is more important than being the best.

If we did all the things we were capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.

天秤座~



哈哈...真的很像我...每次要做选择的时候都很难做决定x_X...不管是吃的,喝的还是什么东东, 我都会说"随便"或 "都可以"...哈哈

我有想过要改的, 可是,当要做选择是,真的是很难做决定!!!

每次要买食物时,都是想很久~ 要吃什么呢?这个好像很好吃,eh~那个也像很好吃==...到最后,站着在那里,想了很久才做决定~~~ 那就是.................................全都买!!!! ==

所以,如果你们有天秤座的朋友,请你们别让他们做决定哦~

如果你们想要看看或了解自己还是朋友的星座,你们可以去这个网站看~

The most important decisions are
not to be made with the mind;
they are to be made with the heart.


好久没写了

已经很久没有动我的blog了。也没有什么好写的。xD...i'm learning to write in chinese, hope you don't mind my broken chinese~

今天早上9.20起床,本来8.30am有上课的。我没去,因为那个老师每次都没在班的。直到最后的15mins他才会进班。

我下一个课是在11.30am,一大早起床没事做。看到我哥女友的blog,全都是写着他的好,他对她付出的东西。发现我哥也是个好男人吧。哈哈,希望有一天我也能像他一样,能好好的珍惜和为自己的女友付出xD。

这几个月没有心要读书!!!haiz...不知道为什么没有feel想动书==...今天,set好一个rule给自己。每天只能玩一场或一个钟的game和只能看一部戏。还是希望有motivation来给我读书吧。哈哈...


=)

It's been a long time since i wrote the last post xP... Yea, last few days, a dog suddenly came into my back and bite me ==, the wound is not that serious thou... lolz...i dunno what things have i done to that dog to make it bite me... Haiz..speaking of yesterday, i had the last and difficult exam for this week! man!~, the exam paper(electronics) was really tough, damn...i count all the possible marks i could get was only 18...WTH?? only 18 in 80 marks?? T_T... Nvm on that, what pass is pass...xP... There is another test next week, hope i can do well in the test xD...
It's been i long time i didn't do any sport...miss basketball so much~

I, me and myself.

Life suck being single...at least that how i feel right now. But, lots of my friends said being single is the most happy moment... Well, i don't know...cause for me single is lonely...because you have no one to truly express your feelings to, no place for you to become your true self, no arms to hold you when you can't stand on your own, no one truly understands you... I don't know... But, i don't care anymore. I just want to be happy. Well, i'm happy...Happiness is in the eyes of the beholder~

Inevitable is best accepted with serenity

There are times when you absolutely see no solution. When you've thought and thought and prayed and prayed; when you've sat still in meditation listening for an answer and still no answer comes. There are times when it's okay to just surrender.

Assignments!!!

Lots of things need to be done including programming, electronics and materials assignments. I have done none of them. Lolz, ~T_T~...

Wonder why this semester i feel so lazy to do anything. If i keep this on, passing this sem would be impossible... Damn it!

Feeling depressed~ >.<

Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.

played by Patrick Stewart, from the film "Star Trek: Generations"

One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching.

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!



Life

This time...i'm going through a hard time...I really wan to give it up. But, i can't. I have no choice. Life is never mean easy. I'm not someone clever nor hardworking, so, i've to put much more effort than others, do more than others. I only hope for a peaceful, happy and ordinary life. I was a miserable person who never really strife to live. For me, life is short, so why do we want to suffer so much? Better not we live our life happily? I've learn my lessons. That is, to be happy, we need to struggle for it. So basically, rightnow, i going through a change of lifestyle. This is the time where i need to struggle and suffer. I'm stress, i'm pressured. Hoping this time would pass soon. God, save me.

DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
LONELINESS, YOUR SILENT WHISPER
FILLS A RIVER OF TEARS THROUGH THE NIGHT
MEMORY, YOU NEVER LET ME CRY
AND YOU, YOU NEVER SAID GOODBYE
SOMETIMES OUR TEARS BLINDED THE LOVE
WE LOST OUT DREAMS ALONG THE WAY
BUT I NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D TRADE YOUR SOUL TO THE FATES
NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D LEAVE ME ALONE
TIME THROUGH THE RAIN HAS SET ME FREE
SANDS OF TIME WILL KEEP YOUR MEMORY
LOVE EVERLASTING FADES AWAY
ALIVE WITHIN YOUR BEATLESS HEART
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
nagareru namida wo toki no kaze ni kasanete
owaranai kanashimi wo aoi-bara ni kaete
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
* repeat
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
if you could have told me everything
you would have found what love is
if you could have told me what was on your mind
I would have shown you the way
someday I'm gonna be older than you
I've never thought beyond that time
I've never imagined the pictures of that life
for now I will try to live for you and for me
I will try to live with love, with dreams
and forever with Tears

Making decision

It's good if that time stay there for a while longer, everyday we have to make decisions. And sometime, we may happy of the results, sometime, we regretted it. That was what life abouts. It's bout' making decisions. For me, its really hard to make decisions. Even for the smallest things i couldn't decide. For example what to eat, what to drink ...Sometime, i regretted for the things that i've done. There's no turning back after you made a decision. Sometime, a correct decision bring a great joy. It is 50/50. So, think wise before making decisions. =)

Its been a long time since i have wrote something here.

Life is a Journey

Birth is a beginning
and death a destination
And life is a journey:
From childhood to maturity
and youth to age;
From innocence to awareness
and ignorance to knowing;
From foolishness to desecration
and then perhaps to wisdom.
From weakness to strength or
from strength to weakness
and often back again;
From health to sickness
and we pray to health again.
From offense to forgiveness
from loneliness to love
from joy to gratitude
from pain to compassion
from grief to understanding
from fear to faith.
From defeat to defeat to defeat
until looking backwards or ahead
We see that victory lies not
at some high point along the way
but in having made the journey
step by step
a sacred pilgrimage.
Birth is a beginning
and death a destination
And life is a journey;
A sacred journey to life everlasting.

Guardian Angel
The walls close in around me.
I feel myself slipping,
The line between reality and sanity
blending, fading.

I walk on the rim
carefully balancing.
Taunting, teasing, risking
dangerously near falling.

Below me a beckoning abyss.
Calling me
Welcoming me
Spirits cry out,
"Join us. Let us free your suffering."

The battle has waged too long.
I am done.
Unable to fight anymore
I give in.

The ropes surround me
like weights
pull me under.
The abyss consumes me
enveloping, surrounding me.

A Hand appears out of the light.
Strong arms
to pull me from the darkness.
To save me from myself
and impending sleep.

I am brought back from the edge.
I return to the world
into the light and the truth.

Released from my chains
as a butterfly
I fly free and strong
to greet the new dawn.
Awake.
Alive.

No longer do I fear the edge.
It has retreated.
I stand on solid ground.
Not alone, but with you.

Friend.
Rescuer.
Guardian Angel.

A Blessing for Happiness
May everyone be happy and safe,
and may their hearts be filled with joy.
May all living beings live in Security and in Peace--
beings who are frail or strong,
tall or short, big or small,
visible or not visible, near or far away,
already born or yet to be born.
may all of them dwell in perfect tranquility.
Let no one do harm to anyone.
Let no one put the life of anyone in danger.
Let no one, out of anger or ill will,
wish anyone any harm.
