Adulthood

I finally grow up today. Recalled the Marigolds, the protagonist Lizabeth suffered in the great need for her mother but she was never there, and the bewilderment between child and woman. She was confused and lost her way in neither-child-nor-woman predicament. Therefore, Lizabeth destroyed and trampled the only beauty in Ms. Lottie's garden-- warm, passionate, and sun-golden marigolds. Compared to me, I'm glad that I wasn't confused in the plight. When I was surprised by the difficulty, my friends were always there and supported, encouraged me. My mother is always there and accompanies me through difficulties. Although it's too late for me to grow up (compared to other girls), I am so excited that I finally become a little closer to adult. However, my heart will always stay in childhood, and remains happy-go-lucky attitude forever.

Golden-brown Car

Since my mom has driven Volvo car for more than ten years, my father decided to change a new car for her in order to drive mischievous children to school. The new car can ensure our safety and accompany us for the next ten years (at least that's what I think) I love our new golden-brown car so much because it's shiny-shiny and bling-bling under sunshine. Though the car is sort of dark brown, I would like to name it as golden-brown. Golden-brown sounds more elegant and exquisite. I support to select this color because it's more special and rare compares to other cars on the freeways. I disagree to buy a silver car although it looks more graceful because tons of cars are silver. I wish that our car is more outstanding. My parents take my advice in heart and back up my idea. The car is Tiguan, a brand under Volkswagen. My parents like to buy cars from different car companies so they can compare each one. The sale is cheap right now since Tiguan has sales promotion, which gives customers lots of presents, such as a TV and tickets of LCM baseball game. (Though I didn't have a chance to see Wang Jianmi) When my parents are bargaining, I help to persuade the seller and manager to sell the car cheaper. It was a great experience for shopping and bargaining.

HAPPY!!!

As the title announces in advance, I'm so cheerful today. There are different reasons. First of all, my midterm score isn't as terrible as what I thought before. I thought that I would fail the exam, especially English, but I was so surprised. Just want to let you know, I spent merely one minute per essay question with messy handwriting. (I've never written in such untidy words) I was so amazed that I only got one deducted point out of 15 points. Furthermore, I wake up from procrastination and  addiction to romantic dramas, in which I only skimmed through ISS. Half of my points was lost in the story, ISS. I was regretful yet glad that I finally realized the importance of midterm. Second, I am joyful today since helping people made me extremely pleasing~ I found a watch and returned to the owner. I secretly helped my friend to answer grammar questions correctly. I stayed in a cooperative group in PE. I learned to love playing basketball. I learned to love my school. I learned to go to school with a positive attitude. Every "thank you" and "you're welcome" resulted in my good mood and created a more colorful, wonderful life for me.

New Quarter

I am a bag which loads great amount of stories. They are stories about my life. I just ended my first quarter in freshman year. I have to admit that I didn't try hard enough in my first quarter. I simply distracted by unuseful information on the Internet and tricked my parents that I was working hard. I could finish projects and homework much more earlier if I didn't procrastinate a lot. Therefore, I felt guilty and regretful when I heard my mother's warm encouragement and looked at my father's pleasant smile. I was wasting my time again. I have to CHANGE. RIGHT NOW. I regret that I didn't study hard enough for midterm. I have to spend my precious time on studying or improving vocabularies. I will show improvement in my next quarter. However, I have treasured memories in my mind, such as Halloween and my birthday. They are the memories that will haunt me forever, because they are the best of mine. (At least I don't have to be contrite~) I decide to change a bag and carry more beautiful, memorable stories in my bag. New quarter. New bag. New story. New life. 

In Time With You- New Enemy

When Ariel suffered in the betrayal of her boyfriend, Bolin accompanied her for 5 years and Ariel eventually (seemed to) walked out from the shadows. However, the big bad demon is coming back. He is David. David has encountered difficulties and understood the snobbery in society. Therefore, he's back for Ariel. He found out that he couldn't leave her, because she's always a book that worth to read over and over again. Although David once betrayed and left Ariel behind, he decided to treat her with true love right now. Through five years of training, Ariel is now an excellent and confident modern girl. She has prepared for five years in order to prove that she has become a butterfly, instead of the caterpillar who was beguiled and bewildered by David. Anyhow, the moment she knows that David is coming back, her heartbeat becomes irregular and sporadic. She pretends that it doesn't matter but her daily life is strongly messed up because she's waiting for David's call every single day. Bolin understands Ariel's true feeling and observes every unusual action deeply in his eyes. He feels anxious and concerns that Ariel will hurt by David again. This time, Bolin is going to confront David and protect his love.

In Time with You-Escape

When Ariel is disappointed in love, Bolin accompanies her through difficulties and surmounts the obstacles. When Bolin wants to hug Ariel and comforts her, she crouches, collapses, and cries. Whenever Bolin wants to tell her the truth and say "I love you", she branches off the topic. Although Ariel is curious and wonders why does Bolin say "I would never fall in love with you", she restrains and holds back the true feeling because she doesn't want to cross the boundary between friendship and love. Once when Bolin was about to explain the reason in which he declares such negative words, Ariel felt something was wrong and prohibited him to continue. Bolin would break their friendship and Ariel would lose the most important friend if he told the truth. (sigh~) Whenever Bolin has a girlfriend, Ariel criticizes the girlfriend. On the other hand, whenever Ariel has a boyfriend, Bolin is eager to expel and drive him away. haha. Bolin feels that the person who accompanies Ariel throughout the rest of her life time should be he since he's the one who understands her the most. Both Ariel and Bolin are escaping. They are evading from the love of each other. They are suppressing the fondness with each other.

In Time with You-Birthday

It's Ariel's 30-year-old birthday. She plans to celebrate with her best and forever friend, Bolin. Bolin prepares a secret gift for Ariel, but she doesn't like it. It's a lion with a necklacelike-square-black hair, but Ariel thinks it's a cat stuck in a stinky tofu. haha. Ariel has a particular interpretation and a special taste. Bolin explains that Ariel is confident and prideful, so she always restricts herself in her own principles and rules, such as the square necklace of the lion. (that's Ariel's defect) But the lion proves that Ariel is special since nobody is similar to the square hair lion. However, Ariel always gets the wrong point, thinks about the imperfection Bolin described, and blames Bolin. Bolin is disappointed. He worries that Ariel doesn't like the present. He explains that how much efforts he has spent to convince the boss to sell the lion, because it's not for sale. Ariel replies," Since it's Bolin who spent so much time and efforts to prepare the present, I think I am going to love this cute lion." Therefore, Bolin smiles like an optimistic, cheerful sunflower as if the true love is blooming splendidly.
