Don't look back in anger 別憤怒回顧過去








I have not written something in my blog for a week.

I found an interesting thing happening in my blog.

When I wrote article in English, the number of people who 

watched it was decreasing. However, if I wrote one article 

in Chinese, the number of reading times of the article is tree 

times than the articles in English. 



我已經一周沒有更新部落格了,不過這周我發現有趣的事。

當我用英文來寫部落格,瀏覽人數就一直在遞減,不過在眾

多英文中我寫了一篇中文,那篇中文的瀏覽人數居然是英文

文章的三倍之多。



OK! Now going back the topic I want to present to you.

This song is really nice to listen to. I also posted the lyrics 

of this song. I hope all you guys will love it. Enjoy it!



好的,該進入今天的主題了,這首歌真的很好聽,我也把歌詞

給寫出來,希望你們會喜歡。



Oasis-Don't look back in anger 


Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd once never been
All the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away

So I start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away

So I start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
I heard you say
At least not today

I am extremely tired and almost exhausted.



※ My first time ski on 01/24/2009





Recently, I have looked for a house, striven to study TOEFL,



and coped with the CELOP  crazy homework.



I  sleep over midnight almost every day and get up at 7:30 in the morning.



I also reduced most of my social activities because I really need more time 



to finish those heavy work.



I started to find a cheap, wonderful ,and comfortable bedroom to live  near BU



because I wanted to save more time to have more sleep or I could probably fall



unconcious when I walk on the street.



Owing to the insufficient time in which I prepared the test, my morning class 



teacher recommanded me to talk to the director of Celop my situation. 



She said I might start to my master major if the director wants to be my sponsor.



Anyway, I still should study hard because I want to get a high score in TOEFL to 



prove I have sufficient English ability.

The Sacred “Rac”



※ I stood on the frozen Charles River. Actually, it is dangerous.





Under the line, there is my midterm reading exam.

When I first time to reading, I thought it was a serious article.

Today my teacher taught me this is an ironic article.

You do not know! OK, finishing reading it, I will write why it is ironic.

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

      
  An Indian anthropologist, Chandra Thapar, made a study of foreign cultures which had

customs similar to those in his native land. One culture in particular fascinated him because it

reveres one animal as sacred, much as the people in India revere the cow.





        The tribe Dr. Thapar studied is called the Asu and is found in the American continent north of

the Tarahumara of Mexico. Though it seems to be a highly developed society of its type, it has an

overwhelming preoccupation with the care and feeding of the rac – an animal much like a bull in size,

strength and temperament. In the Asu tribe, it is almost a social obligation to own at least one if not

more racs. People not possessing at least one are held in low esteem by the community because they

are too poor to maintain one of these beasts properly. Some members of the tribe, to display their

wealth and social prestige, even own herds of racs.





        Unfortunately, the rac breed is not very healthy and usually does not live more than five to

seven years. Each family invests large sums of money each year to keep its rac healthy and shod, for

it has a tendency to throw its shoes often. There are rac specialists in each community, perhaps

more than one if the community is particularly wealthy. These specialists, however, due to the long

period of ritual training they must undergo and to the difficulty of obtaining the right selection of

charms to treat the rac, demand costly offerings whenever a family must treat an ailing rac.





        At the age of sixteen in many Asu communities, many youths undergo a puberty rite in which

the rac figures prominently. Youths must petition a high priest in a grand temple. They are then

initiated into the ceremonies that surround the care of the rac and are permitted to keep a rac.





        Although the rac may be used as a beast of burden, it has many habits which would be 

considered by other cultures as detrimental to the life of the society. In the first place the rac breed

is increasing at a very rapid rate and the Asu tribe has given no thought to curbing the rac

population. As a consequence the Asu must build more and more paths for the rac to travel on since

its delicate health and its love of racing other racs at high speeds necessitates that special areas be

set aside for its use. The cost of smoothing the earth is too costly for any one individual to undertake;

so it has become a community project and each member of the tribe must pay an annual tax to build

new paths and maintain the old. There are so many paths needed that some people move their

homes because the rac paths must be straight as possible to keep the animal from injuring itself. Dr.

Thapar also noted that unlike the cow, which many people in his country hold sacred, the excrement

of the rac cannot be used as either fuel or fertilizer. On the contrary, its excrement is exceptionally

foul and totally useless. Worst of all, the rac is prone to rampages in which it runs down anything in

its path, much like stampeding cattle. Estimates are that the rac kills thousands of Asu in a year.





        Despite the high cost of its upkeep, the damage it does to the land, and its habit of destructive

rampages, the Asu still regard it as being essential to the survival of their culture.

Still not realize it.

Get it ?!

Goodbye my friend



※ Kiwhan, he is a smart guy. 

     He is studying in the top of university in Korea and has double majors.





03/01

This is second snow storm I met in Boston.

At this night I got the text message from my Korean friend- Kihwan.

He said he will leave US in Monday morning.

He wanted me do my best in Boston and  hoped one day we could meet again. 

Then we can talk about the memory we had in Boston.





I remembered that days when my Boston friends left were snowing.

It makes the leaving air sader. It also makes people lonely.

Although I experienced the situation many times, I still have this feeling.

Maybe I am the kind of people who are sensitive and take friends as first.

This is why some people told me I put friends in my mind first. 





In this month, not only Kiwhan will leave Boston but Lee will leave to Seattle.

Both them are my best Korean friends, and it means I will have fewer friends in Boston.

anyway,I will always remember you.

All my Boston friends but you are not here.

Memory Impact

※ This picture was taken in BU library.





What is the memory impact?



I created and defined it by meslf.



Memory impact is that the memory which is happened wonderfully 



or horribly in one's life made one feel extremely painful when the 



enviroment is same, but the people or the situations were different. 



I sufferred it today. Because I went to NESE, Harvard Sq., Central Sq.,



Newbury St., and many places I went before near the Cambridge.



My memory was impacted by the memory recall.



I knew the feeling was not good, but I will conquer it one day. 



外國念書就是這麼苦,送一個一個朋友走,又要重新認識朋友,

有時還得忍受孤獨;忍受獨自奮戰考試。留學就是這麼苦,要不

就扛起它、承受它。受不了這個苦就打包回台灣,結束夢想!

Happy Valentine's Day







Hey, all you guys~ Happy Valentine's Day!



In this day, you should go out to have a meal with someone,

such as your friends, your valentine, or lovers. Please do

not be like me, staying in the library all day with my

valentine, TOEFL BOOKS, is not a good plan.

This show did not have subtitle, but you can understand 

it if you pay attention on it.



Achmed-the dead terrorist









Have fun in Valentine's day~ if you do not know,

Lyrics:

Ooh, and it's alright an it's coming on

We gotta get right back to where we started from

Love is good, love can be strong

We gotta get right back to where we started from



Do you remember the day (that sunny day) 

When you first came my way

I said, no one could take your place

And if you get hurt (if you get hurt)

By the little things I say

I can put that smile back on your face 



Ooh, and it's alright and it's coming on 

We gotta get it right back to where we started from

Love is good, love can be strong

We gotta get it right back to where we started from



A love like ours (a love like ours) 

Can never fade away

You know it's only just begun

You gave me your love (gave me your love) 

I just can't stay away, no, no

I know you are the only one 



Ooh, and it's alright and it's coming on

We gotta get it right back to where we started from

Love is good, love can be strong

We gotta get it right back to where we started from



You gave me your love (gave me your love)

I just can't stay away, no

I know you are the only one



Ooh, you know it's alright and it's coming on

We gotta get it right back to where we started from

Love is good, love can be strong

We gotta get it right back to where we started from



It's alright and it's coming on

We gotta get it right back to where we started from

Love is good, love can be strong

We gotta get it right back to where we started from



It's alright and it's coming on

We gotta get it right back to where we started from

Love is good, love can be strong

We gotta get it right back to where we started from
