Happy New Year, everyone.

I hope you’d had a nice holiday. For Chinese, the main New Year is actually our lunar New Year, which is going to start from Feb. 2 until Feb. 7 or even more than that. So, we usually can celebrate twice for New Year. Last week, I spent two days of my holiday going to Taipei, which is our capital city, is located in the north part of Taiwan. Hundred of photos I took when I was there, and I picked some from them to share with you here. If you are interested in taking a lo

Small Winter

I have seen in the Internet a picture from my childhood unexpectedly. I remember, the first class and the first winter at school. As all was interesting. Now behind a window again winter. But it has passed more than twenty years since then. I would like to roll down again from a hill on a sledge, to build the snowman, to play in snowballs. But I should go for work and to be engaged in more ordinary affairs. But Christmas is fast, and we again will go out of doors to look at snow, we will light g

Apology

Hello my friends. I’m here now to inform you that there is no word’s challenge in A-New-Word-Daily's group for this month, January. We are going to stop this month and we'll start again in February. I apologize for this but my final exams will start soon and I should prepare myself. The subjects are getting hard and I should study well. I’m sure that I’ll be like this picture !

How not to die before you get old?

 

Hello friends!!! It’s my first blog. There is a short story that I read in a magazine here.


Chiako is active and healthy. She gets up at 7.00 a.m. every day and goes for a brisk walk. Three times a week she plays gate-ball - national sports - with her friends. There is nothing unusual about this, except that Chiako is 102 years old. She is not alone - there are hundreds of centenarians who lead healthy lives this in Okinawa.

Okinawa is a group of Japanese islands between Japan and Taiwan. Near th

Why?????????

HI All

 

Nowadays, people have become more different than they were used to be.Additionally,because of modernization , technology and improvement, more ideas and  beliefs have emerged in our societies.

 

Some people have tried powerfully to retain their traditions and vice versa.As a result, many of our customs have been vanished and many degenerated people have been behaving erroneously.For instance, and may you have noticed , people have tried to imitate famous people ,'' Actors,singers and so on,

Happiness

What is happiness?

Is it just wishful thinking?

Does it happen just once in a blue moon?

 

Many people have already caught themselves trying to find an answer to those questions. My challenge today is to bring out my own impressions about the issue.

 

We are all acquainted with the misery the world is going through. Natural disaster, hunger, wars, urban violence, disease, unemployment, poverty, corruption, just to mention a few issues. It seems that happiness is something that exists only in fairy tal

Burning the dummies


2346099423?profile=originalIt is the Ecuadorian tradition to build a dummy that represents the year that is finishing, and burn it just before midnight on Dec. 31st. This dummy used to be made with old clothes and filled with paper or sawdust. Now, they are made with wood and cardboard too, and they may represent anyone or anything, from a cartoon character to a politician, or even an event that occured during the year. There are contests around the country with prizes for the best dummy, or the best representation of a s

You

2345964021?profile=original

You go and come
As an eternal game
Always the same
Still burning flame
I call your name
You are my dream

In my heart you shine
You turn my mind


As a wish you remain
Oh hope of mine
I won't calm down
You left me alone
With hurting pain
Inside me again


How to stay strong
Killed so long


Never be with you

In this time of year we usually make a list with some resolutions for next year.

 

A New Year's resolution is done to reform a habit or to make changes in lifestyle.
These promises are usually made on New Year's Day, the first day and aresupposed to be either fulfilled or abandoned by the end of that year.


There are some people who simply have not the intention to do anything new, because they believe are right and don’t need any change in their lifes.
