A Little Princess

In my continual journey through the magical, wondrous and sometimes unimaginable worlds presented through story books, it is always satisfying to find one story that stays in the mind indefinitely. Often flashes a phrase, or a dialogue, prompts my mind then to search for the title of the story, and book if I have it, then to locating it physically, and browsing straight to where I thought of.

This story, http://www.pagebypagebooks.com/Frances_Hodgson_Burnett/A_Little_Princess/

is one that comes to mind often, quoted elsewhere a lot too.

I enjoyed it immensely, perhaps you would too! =)

很痛

真的感觉很孤单。

有式过在雨中走路回家吗？若没有，或许不知道，在雨中走路，真地会觉得好冷哦。。。
忘记带伞，所以只好淋着雨的走回家。

从来都没觉得上课，读书，是那么痛苦的事。或许是因为自己的懒，才会发生那么多功课做不完的事情。虽然该死，但知道了也不会好受一点点。

身边没有人，都只是自己跟自己的胡思乱想。

这时，觉得周围好静哦。。。
压抑的心情也越来越强，强的。。。好像无法呼吸。眼泪也会跟着掉下来。

哭了，又在想，为何每次都让自己变成这个样子？
不知道。。。

好像连哭的权利，都没有。


只知道，担心，加上孤单，还有一些的胡思乱想，

很痛。

My Best Friend

What happens to you when your best friend finds someone, THAT someone? Often I have read about this, but I've never really paid much attention to it. It's not that I didn't think my best friend wasn't going to find someone, it's just that.....well, I suppose we always have that "It'll never happen to me" attitude.

When my best friend did find her someone, I was really happy for her. Her happiness simply radiated, and who could help it but be influenced as well. She did seem more beautiful, indeed praised by some, "Wow... you're looking prettier and prettier!" to which she only smiled blissfully in response. I knew her someone as well, and I was glad that he was doing so much good for her.

What difference it made to me, was accepting that now my friend had someone else she was committed to. And in those articles, I had read about best friends who became jealous and tried to monopolise their friend and snatching every opportunity to gain affection. Sometimes, friendships were lost too.

I'm glad to say, I don't belong in that group. Of course, at first, you might feel a little weird, when your phone conversations get shorter because that someone is calling her. Or when she forgets to call back because she got waylaid by his call or message. When you don't have so much time to spend chatting, yakking on the phone with her anymore because she's out on a date. Even when you were shown the little stuff and mementos given to her, feeling grossed out by all the "mushiness".

Sooner or later, you'll start to realise, that your friend is still your friend. And most of the time, a better one. She hasn't stopped caring for me, neither has she been not around when I needed her. You'll find, that your friend even becomes much more adept at handling situations now, because her maturity has grown to accept anothers' opinions and thoughts. And that, is something I would treasure very much. Besides, things that seemed so difficult or impossible in the beginning, wasn't really that unimaginably hard at all.

Well, my phone conversation with her just ended. And yes, because her someone was calling. So, I hung up. With grace and acceptance. Perhaps, respect, too.

无奈

最痛苦，
最难过，
最令人讨厌的感觉。

发现事实，却无能做任何事。
只看着，
最不想发生的事情，
就在眼前，
发生。

当无奈时，
想大声说，“不要这样！”
“拜托你，真的不要这样。。。好吗？”

他能听到吗？
听到你内心里的呼喊？

在身旁的人，
替你感到可怜，
替你感到悲伤，
甚至替你流泪。

但至终，
留下的心情。。。

无奈。

Infidelity

Or sometimes known as "straying". Of course, someone can only be accused of this if they were, or-thank their lucky stars- are attached.

Sure, the lure of forbidden fruit seems tantalising enough.

However, the price of the pain the loved one will experience upon stumbling on the truth, seems to dim it so much more.

Shock.
Numbness.
Disbelief.
Denial.
Anger.
Hurt.
Pain.

Helplessness.

无奈。

Grammar In A Nutshell

Three little words you often see
Are Articles - A, An, and The.

A Noun's the name of anything,
As School, or Garden, Hoop or Swing.

Adjectives tell the kind of Noun,
As Great, Small, Pretty, White or Brown.

Instead of Nouns the Pronouns stand -
Her head, His face, Your arm, My hand.

Verbs tell something being done -
To Read, Count, Laugh, Sing, Jump or Run.

How things are done the Adverbs tell,
As Slowly, Quickly, Ill, or Well.

Conjunctions join the words together,
As men And women, wind Or weather.

The preposition stands before
A Noun, as In or Through a door.

The Interjection shows surprise,
As Oh! how pretty! Ah! how wise!

The Whole are called Nine Parts of Speech,
Which reading, writing, speaking teach.
