In my view, original hosts are aborigines, not Taiwanese which we call now. We are from China long time ago. Now the government want to dismantle aborigines' houses. At the beginning, I am so anger because I think aborigines are expelled,and in the history, people always did such things. At that time, they had no choice, and they should obey this policy. We shouldn't do this. In Taiwan, aborigines have few opportunities to educate owing to their romate houses. In addition, they also get few educational resource, and to their adults, it's hard to get jobs.
Originally, I consider now no one prejudices them, but I am wrong. To some people, they still have this prejudice in private. I don't realize why it is so difficult to receive other races?

Phenomenon in Taiwan

On Firday, my boss' wife chatted with me. We talked about the phenomenon in Taiwan. That is, the university students are hard to find jobs. She told me that in their time, they had more opportunities to get jobs if they wanted to do. However, now it's totally different than before. More and more people want to get better jobs and get high salaries as they expect on account of their high educational background. She thinks now the university students are as the same as senior students of their time in the society. When I heard her words, I think we need to start to check our attitude toward everything.

A Little Too Late

I'm sorry for not finding real video.

It's also sung by Tonya Mitchell whom I introduced last Sunday. At first, I saw these words – a little too late. It fits my life, for recently I consider everything is a little too late. I feel that I always need to catch up with much work. However, approaching to the end of this semester, there is more and more work to do. I am looking forward having days off. Now I expect my winter vacation.



Ohh hey yeh yeh ummmm
It's too late

No one wanted to believe it more than me
I thought you were so true
I ain't coming back,you'll see
You did me wrong
And i won't be your fool
Tired of always losing sleep
Wondering where you were last night
But baby, it ain’t no mystery,i'm giving you up
I don't need this in my life

It's a little too late,you've been telling lies,coming back around to apologize
It's a little too late,it's a little too late
It's a little too soon for a brand new start,time can only heal this broken heart
Baby,you're a little too late

Now you want to make amends
But that's all in the dreams
Every story has to have an end,but baby that's not-oh not how love should be

It's a little too late,you've been telling lies,coming back around to apologize (oh)
It's a little too late,it's a little too late
It's a little too soon for a brand new start,time can only heal this broken heart
Baby,you're a little too late

This time i'm gonna get back on my feet
Put my life together,cos that's what i need (that's what i need)
Its too late to ease the pain
No it's much too late to try
Don't want you,don't need this in my life

It's a little too late,you've been telling lies
Coming back around to apologize (baby..oh whoa)
It's a little too late,it's a little too late (too late)
It's a little too soon for a brand new start
Time can only heal this broken heart (oh)
Baby,you're a little too late

Can you hear me say
It's too late,too too late
It's too late,too too late
Hear you say
It's too late,too too late
You're too late
Umm
It's too late,too too late
It's too late,too too late
Baby you're a little too late

It's a little too late,you've been telling lies
Coming back around to apologize (too late,too too late)
It's a little too late,it's a little too late (too late,baby)
It's a little too soon for a brand new start
Time can only heal this broken heart
Baby

CNN Sharks

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/12/10/pip.shark.finning/index.html

This week, I watched news. CNN, they came to Taiwan to shoot sharks killed in Taiwan. I am so surprised. I remembered that the government announced that they would legislate against hunting sharks when the International appeals not to hunt because of the extinction. Although the government announced next year the enactment would be work out at that moment, now it is ironic. CNN, they want to report it for a week. It is not good for Taiwan because Taiwan is one of these countries to hunt sharks. The same point between Japan, Taiwan, and China is that we do not legislate against hunting sharks, so this action is not illegal. I do hope that the government pays much attention.

Song “Stay”



This week, I watched the TV play of Korea, and the background music in one part is this song -”stay”. It is the first time when I watched TV play, I was attracted by its background music, not its plot. The singer is Tonya Mitchell. This song seems to be old because I can’t find its video. Now I upload this one. It is not the original version.




I've must have been blind
Not to see you look away from me
Whenever you say "You love me still"
I must have been crazy
Not to see you slip away from me
Day after day there's a space to fill
and I can't find the words to make you fall in love with me again
and I can't find the strength to let you go oh oh

And when it's all said and done, you'll be the only one
Even if there's nothing left for us to say
as sure as the sun will rise I can never say goodbye
Even if we go are separate ways
In my heart you'll always stay

ooh ooh

Been spending my time
to try to remind you of our love
But you're pulling away with every touch
With all we've been though
I'd never thought i'd be losing you
and i would give everything to keep you here
But I can't (but I can't) find the words to make you fall in love with me again
and I can't find the strength to let you go oh oh

And when it's all said and done,you'll be the only one
Even if there's nothing left for us to say (nothing left to say)
as sure as the sun will rise I can never say goodbye
Even if we go are separate ways (ooh)
In my heart you'll always stay

I,I,I still believe our love meant to be oh
And it will be here forever come one day (come one day) ooh oh oh
can you see? I love you faithfully oh yeh
And one day I'm telling you I find a way to get back to me ooh

And when it's all said and done,you'll be the only one (said and done)
Oooh,nothing left to say
as sure as the sun will rise I can never say goodbye
Even if we go separate ways
In my heart you'll always stay

The Botanical Garden













On Friday, I went to the botanical garden in Hsinchu with Martina. The trees are huge, and there are so many plants in there. I live in Hsinchu, but I didn’t go there before. We had a good time. There are three greenhouses; however, they are not kept well because some plants are dead. At the beginning, I think the botanical garden fits tourism, but actually, few people go there, and some trees collapsed. In my opinion, it is a good place for families and couples.
