Two poems

I'm only a cat,
and I stay in my place...
Up there on your chair,
on your bed or your face!

I'm only a cat,
and I don't finick much...
I'm happy with creamand anchovies and such!

I'm only a cat,
and we'll get along fine...
As long as you knowI'm not yours...
you're all mine!


---------------------------------------


The things I have seen,
The places I have been,
The feelings I have felt,

My cards are all dealt.
Are these just for me to know,
Or has it always been so.

I'll never let them Go.

==============================

These are my favorite two poems.

The reason I like the former one is that many friends of mine think that I looked like cat , and I appreciate the poet , who is good at writing with the first person.

I like the second one because I felt assured and more confident after reading the poem.I am a dillydally girl , everytime I make decision , I felt nervous. Using this poem as a reminder to encourage myself and be better in the future.

table tennis

We had the game in December 17th. Every grade of ELE can have the game by forming a team.
That day, there has four teams, ELE98 first class, ELE98 second class, ELE99 first class, ELE99 second class. At first, we game with ELE99second class . But we get lost as 3:4.Second, we game with ELE98 first class, we also get lost as 1:6. We didn't win the game. However, the price is not the key point, but the feelings to our class is the most important thing we have!

The Legend of 1900

I saw the movie" The Legend of 1900" at the library yesterday.
The music of the movie was touched to me. I love it!
This is the story of it
The Legend of 1900 is an interesting new fable from legendary Italian filmmaker Guiseppe Tornatore, maker of Cinema Paradiso and The Star Maker. Based on a monologue by Alessandro Baricco, The Legend of 1900 tells the story of a unique man who never set foot upon dry land. On January 1, 1900, a small baby boy was found abandoned on the Virginian, a transatlantic ship. The crewman who found him names the boy Danny Boodman T.D. Lemon 1900; 1900 for short. 1900 is a true orphan. He knows nothing about his parents or his past. The Virginian is the only thing he knows.
The story unfolds as a series of flashbacks told by a man named Max (Pruitt Taylor Vance, Nobody's Fool, Mumford). In a series of events that seem awkward to the viewer, Max tells various people he meets about his experiences aboard the Virginian with 1900 (Tim Roth, No Way Home, Gridlock'd). The transitions are clunky, causing the story to frequently halt for further exposition before continuing. At a young age, 1900 became a piano prodigy. He entranced people with his ability to play the piano, and dumbfounded people with his refusal to leave the ship. 1900 helped Max ease his transition onto the ocean, and the two became friends, playing together in the band. Max details 1900's experiences with love (in a very Titanic-like meeting), and his encounter with Jelly Roll Morton . Morton is irrationally jealous of 1900 and challenges him to a piano duel to determine the better player. Williams glowers through his role, which is interesting but one-dimensional.
Roth plays 1900 as an enigma. He shows emotion only when he is playing the piano. Vance's character is much more annoying. His only purpose is the narrator. Tornatore gives no reason as to why the two become friends, or remain friends for such a long time. 1900 is well liked by the crew, so why is Max the person 1900 confides in the most? The music of The Legend of 1900 was composed by another legend, Ennio Morricone. Morricone composed more than 400 scores over his career, garnering numerous nominations in the process. Morricone's music permeates the movie, rising and falling with the moods of the characters. The production on The Legend of 1900 is gorgeous. The special effects are great, but here it is a good thing. Long shots of the Virginian do not look quite real, instead it looks almost magical. This is Tornatore's first English film, and although it isn't outstanding, it is a nice effort.

Horsehead Nebula

Horsehead Nebula, the most famous nebulae in the sky. It looks like horse's head.It is one of my favorite nebulae!"One of the most identifiable nebulae in the sky, the Horsehead Nebula in Orion, is part of a large, dark, molecular cloud. Also known as Barnard 33, the unusual shape was first discovered on a photographic plate in the late 1800s. The red glow originates from hydrogen gas predominantly behind the nebula, ionized by the nearby bright star Sigma Orionis. The darkness of the Horsehead is caused mostly by thick dust, although the lower part of the Horsehead's neck casts a shadow to the left. Streams of gas leaving the nebula are funneled by a strong magnetic field. Bright spots in the Horsehead Nebula base are young stars just in the process of forming . Light takes about 1500 years to reach us from the Horsehead Nebula. The above image was taken with the 0.9-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory."

Raining days

The weather is so bad for this week . It have been raining all these days. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning , I can not tell the differences about day or night , since sky always looked dark . My mood is easy to be affected by weather , just like a huge , black cloud upon my head recently . My friends asked me what happend , but even myself can not find the answer . I think maybe my heart lose direction , and don't know how to go on . I hope the bad feelings will not linger for too much time . I want to be happy , always smilling , and bring joys to the people around me.

More words

Today I Will Make a Differenceby Max LucadoToday I will make a difference. I will begin by controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of his thoughts. I want to be happy and hopeful.Therefore, I will have thoughts that are happy and hopeful. I refuse to be victimized by my circumstances. I will not let petty inconveniences such as stoplights, long lines, and traffic jams be my masters. I will avoidnegativism and gossip. Optimism will be my companion, and victory will be my hallmark. Today I will make a difference.I will be grateful for the twenty-four hours that are before me. Time is a precious commodity. I refuse to allow what little time I have to be contaminated by self-pity, anxiety, or boredom. I will face this day with the joy of a child and the courage of a giant. I will drink each minute as though it is my last. When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever.While it is here, I will use it for loving and giving. Today I will make a difference.

puncky

My poor Punky is sick. She started throwing up the other day and having diarreah. Now there's blood in it and she'll barely move.
I was hoping by now that'd she get better but, she hasn't. I wish vets didn't charge because if they didn't i would have brought her to one in a heartbeat! I wish i could fucking afford to take her to the vet!
I pray she gets better because without my Punky i would be lost. I love her more than i do my own life and to have to sit here and watch her suffer kills me. I wish i was the one to have to endure her pain.
Right now i have her wrapped in a blanket on the floor. Poor thing can only look at me because she's too sick to move. My heart is breaking right now. I told her to get better so she can celebrate her mommy's birthday with me tomorrow.
There's been so much pain this year and i know there'll be more. Why can't something good happen about now? I don't need anymore bad shit. I really don't.
Get better Punky so we can have many more good times together. I love you with all of my heart. I'll never let you go.

Annoyed

I just wrote an entry and lost it again!?It pisses me off when that happens....

In a nutshell... doing fine, feeling good...?some ruminating about the life changes a child will bring but I'm still happy about my pregnancy.?We've told pretty much everyone in our lives now and everyone seems very happy for us....?I'm happy for us too... I just need a little more time to let the reality of this to set in.?Still feel a little stunned - like it's not real.

No mail

Feeling sad, and alone tonight.

Being an ocean away from all friends and family brings me down quite often. When I rush home to turn on my laptop, and therere no new emails in my inbox...something inside me dies.

I am the girl everyone has forgotten.

Hey I miss you.
Can you hear that?

Words

I found this and liked it.?I think I should read it often......
"After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security.?You begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. You begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. You learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. You learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong, and you really do have worth."

I've realised that writing really does help me de-stress. all those times my dad has told me, 'Natalie, write your feelings down, good or bad, write what you're thinking,write hat you might want to tell someone but you can't say it to their face..it'll help, trust me.'
I think maybe i never thought it would really help, i just kinda thought he was talkin nothing...but its true, it does help me. for some strange reason though, I can't keep a written diary. I've tried writing my thoughts down, but I always get bored , and then I discovered MDD..and its helped me loads. sometimes i dont write in it for ages, and then I miss it. I have so much going on in my head. sometimes i start to type, and so much fills my thoughts that I didnt even know I was thinking about, and I just wanna get it all down on the screen.Fall into my own small world .

4/12

Yesterday I said I wasn't gonna sleep until late at night but I couldn't make it and got knocked out at 5 pm . I woke up this morning at 8 am with a horrible headache but I still managed to go eat breakfast and shoot some hoops after .hile I was shoot hoops with my sister the ball that he brought was over pumped and in the end the ball was in his handed and just exploded . The ball blew up before I even had a chance to tell him to drop it . It was very dangerous but he didn't even freak out and we just left because we didn't have a ball to shoot with . Around 4:30 pm my friends came over to play cards and we ended up in a tie because me and Peter ran out of luck which cost us the game . Well its was a fun day for me just hanging with my friends playing cards and having lots of fun . I am going to visit my dad tomorrow around 10 am and probably take my mom to the mall to buy some lotions and supplements for my aunties . I also wrote the checks for ALL the payments today which I dislike very much but I still finished it . Its sprinkling outside right now and its seems like its gonna rain overnight . Well I am gonna head to bed and get my much needed rest for tomorrow.

Photos review

I like to take pictures . Whenever I go out , I always remember my keys , cell phone , wallet , except for these items , my camera is one of the most important things for me . When I was a little girl , my father used to took photos and my sister . Actually , I didn't like the feeling to be taken photos . Afteryears , I grew up . When the day I was 16 years old , my father gave me a digital camera as my gift . I made it a rule to take pictures from that time . One day , when I was using the computer , I found all of my photos in the C disk . I reveiwed the photos , in the same time , I reviewed my memory . Suddenly I realized that why my Dad gave me the camera . He hopes that I can record the process of my growth .

My sister's keeper

"My sister's keeper", a book I just finished reading recently.The author-Jodi Picoult , who is acclaimed as a bestselling author , and famous for her writing technique.

This story is about a girl , Anna , who is borned to cure her older sister. Anna has to bear kinds of painful treat even she is not sick . She is the most important role in her family,since she is the only hope to save her sister's life . Oppositely , Anna is also the most miserable person . She almost doesn't have right to deny or against any unfair treat . The argument is going on by every character's telling in this book . Reading the story , maybe we regard that people is always selfish at first , everyone do everything often think themselves ; but in the end we will find that the motivation to do things always begin to love actually.

The author is good at describing the connection with families , lovers , and friends ."My sister's keeper"is the book inspiring me a lot this year, and I recommend it to everyone around me!
