Nothing at all

謝謝你們昨天在這麼冷的天氣裡幫我慶祝生日，回家作便當的時候還接到從遠方捎來的祝福，這整個週末沒有打開的信箱也有朋友寄e-mail道賀，我最感動的是老爸在剩下的27分鐘時打電話來，謝謝你們大家讓我能在這天回復17歲那時無憂無慮的開心 ^^

接下來的這段日子應該會是時間最壓迫的時候，我已經別無選擇必須要每天到學校把論文完成，還要準備3月再度上台教書，每天我都在倒數，盡力把to-do-list上的項目"清掉"......我發現自己最近很容易為小事激動，而且薯條和巧克力對我有莫名的吸引力，老闆笑說我壓力太大了，還特別要我昨天不可以出現在辦公室 @@

我知道老媽一直叨叨唸說我的作息不正常，所以我的願望就是要早睡早起 (這是朋友說進入公主幫的其中一條，我覺得我自己應該跟公主幫會員無緣了，乾脆自己成立宮女幫算了)。
至於老爸希望我許的願望大概也不出運動強身吧? (其實這是我新年願望之一啦，雖然朋友聽到之後大笑太陽從西邊出來了，不過我是很認真的喲~~~)
謝謝老媽總是在我很疲勞的時候告訴我休息一下沒關係，在我很沮喪無助的時候鼓勵我撐過去，還有老爸一直關心我的進度，我真的很希望能讓他們四月的時候來這裡走走，看看我生活四年多的城市有多美!

總之，我會帶著你們的祝福努力過接下來的每一天，希望跟我一樣必須奮鬥的你們也打起精神來囉~~~

p.s.想要分享一首曲子，沒有為什麼，就是很喜歡歌詞

When You Say Nothing At All (by RONAN KEATING)

It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing

The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all

All day long
I can hear people
Talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
Try as they may
Could never define
What's been said
Between your
Heart and mine

The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all

Happy New Year ('08)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! (I know some of you have been in the third day of 2008.) As you know, I just came back from the countryside, which was a very refreshing trip. My first thing was to check e-mails and then to surf the internet to catch up with the modern world.

During the holidays, I have heard about "Facebook" for several times. Finally, Monica invited me into that crazy world. I spent the whold evening to create my own facebook - not sure if it was worth it at this moment, but I did. @@ Creating my facebook profile reminded me the purpose of starting this blog two years ago. I was trying to keep in touch with my family in Taiwan. I also wanted to share some thoughts with friends who were not around. As my schedule got tight, I found out the difficulties of writing articles frequently. It was hard to share some thoughts in public as well. Because of the reasons, I guess facebook would be a good media to communicate with friends. Well, I will not give up blogging here, just let you know. From now on, I will also share other information with you in my facebook.

About my new year's resolution, I hope my family and friends are doing well and keeping good health. I also hope I can finish my study and move on. My last wish is @*%&#%.... (secret ;)

p.s. In the New Year's Eve, Jashua Bell's performance with the New York Philharmonic was broadcasted on the TV. His great skills were inspiring. (FYI: I am going to his concert in Pittsburgh in the near future. YA!) He performed Fritz Kreisler's "Liebesleid" ("Love's Sorrow") and "Liebesfreud" ("Love's Joy") in this concert. Unfortunately, I only found the following clip of the song, Liebesleid.
