Question 1:
Do you think there are any stereotypes that are common in American film or television in how Chinese people are portrayed? You can consider both positive and negative stereotypes.
I think the stereotype of Chinese people in American culture is the people with broken English, and also wear the Chinese cloths that are weird to them. And they often eat the McDonald's meal because their English are not very well. Another common stereotype is the wife should take care all of family, and it is hard and difficult to live. Most of Taiwan movie use this stereotypes on stage and TV show.
Question 3
At one point in the movie we watched, they mention that they think it is (in the United States) socially acceptable to show lesbians showing physical affection, but showing gay men with even minor physical affection (a kiss, a brush on the cheek) really bothers people. Why do you suppose this is so? Do you think this is the same in Taiwan? (another way to think of this question is to ask if two girls holding hands walking down the street are likely to get the same reaction as two males holding hands).
I think men aren't supposed to be seen touchy or sensitive guy in the society's stereotypes. So they should to show they are stronger than women, not do the same thing as women. Women are emotional and intimate that also considers to showing closer affection, and that's fine because people think that is a sign to show the two girls' relationship is very well. It didn’t matter. I can’t image the two men are holding tight on the street, kiss each other, even make sex that is comfortable scene.
It is a BIG surprise!
My best friend, Tonnie, sent the gift to me. At first, I didn’t know this thing until the school sent me a mail told me I had package. When I got the message that i saw the sender is my best friend. I couldn’t describe my happy. I was soooooooooooo surprise, and happy because bear is my most wanted gift!!
The party has a theme about the cloths that is UNIFORM. You could wear the uniform of bank, the kimono, or any kind of career that I choose the cheongsam. I have a long time didn’t wear the cheongsam that is so sexy and cute to me.
Tomorrow, the Student Association holds the Thanks Party. We prepare the party for 3 weeks that is too short to prepare, we need to stay up to decorate the place. I hope everything will be fine tomorrow because I have to be the HOSTESS again!!!!
I need to sleep as soon as possible. Now is 6:00 am
In honestly, I really don’t like leave.
Today I took the HSR came back Hsinchu that I almost cried on the train because I need to leave from my Danny and next time I see him is NEXT YEAR! Every time we need to leave that I was so upset. It is hard that I can’t see him for long time. I really want the TIME goes fastest…
Oh my god! It is awesome movie to me that I very enjoy in watching this movie. I usually like the action movie as racing car, the war, and so on that the kind of move is must men like, but I still like it. I watch it for FOUR times even if I know the plot. I think this movie is my favorite so far. I can’t wait the Transformers 2 that is coming soon on June 2009!
It is X'mas Gift for Paul that is a empty puzzle, and acrylic picture frame. In the empty puzzle, all of classmate sign their signatures and write something what they want to tell Paul. After then, I combine the two. It is so cute for me that I think it is a way to thank Paul who works so hard to teach us.
An animated fairy tale meets modern, live-action comedy. The beautiful princess Giselle is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. If you want to know more, I advise to rent the DVD that is worth. tell you a little secret, I was cried in the end.
I know I have many journals, assignments, and issues that didn’t write because I’m so busy, and I have a little laziness (it is a point). I will make up them as soon as possible. :) In this week, I’m so slack I think I will energetic next week…I hope so :)
I have been 8 days didn’t come to class that I’m just like have work that I don’t need to come school. In past days, I was exhausted. I need be the hostess, promoter, show girl, and the person who deliver DM in one day. So when I come back to school, I was a little not accommodation. I hope I could catch the things that I miss in past day soon.
I think he is a courageous man for his sexual orientation that he met many press when he releases he is homosexual. In fact, I’m expecting his behavior because I will be afraid of releasing my sexual orientation, if I’m lesbianism. He has right to choose what life he wants that not to be influenced by the people’s view about the homosexual that is a point because must people will be effected by the others’ views, and will changed their minds. I can’t help to think about he was so hard to face the press in his generation.
Most people can’t accept the homosexual around them that even hate them. They who hate the people just because of they are gay, or lesbianism. I think it is ridiculous thing, we cant judge someone depend on their sexual orientation. In face, I’m so glad to get along with the person who is homosexual. I don’t know why they are friendlier than the normal guys. This generation should be changed about the impression of homosexual, but it is hard….
Merry Christmas is coming soon that I want the Christmas Gift is Teddy Bear! In fact, I didn’t like Teddy Bear very much before, but I saw many big size Teddy Bear in the Taipei World Trade Center last week then I love Teddy Bear immediately, it is so CUTE for me. I hope my Danny will be prepare the Teddy bear be my gift that I hinted him many times about this thing! HA
This is Rachel's Teddy bear that is so cute.
1.This article suggests that gays and lesbians in Taiwan are generally afraid to “come out” to their family. The article goes on to suggest that most families operate under a “don’t-ask, don’t-tell” policy. In other words, most families just don’t want to know if they have a gay son, daughter, brother, sister, and so on. In your opinion, do you think this is correct? This article is from 2004. Do you think the situation is any different now?
I think the person who is gay or lesbian should get the support from family because the family is most part in our life. When we have any emotion as upset, worry, sad, happy, and so on, the members of family are the first we want to tell. They get us encourages to face our barrier. When the gays or lesbians who meet any discrimination from the society, where they can go? I think the family should not operate under a “don’t-ask, don’t-tell”, they should active to care their family member. Now it is 2008 that I think the situation are totally different because more and more people they can acceptance the gays and lesbians. The person who is homosexual is not a big deal that s/he still has the right to live as normal.
2. The article above suggests that Taiwan was about to become the first Asian country to allow gay marriage. This was in 2004. What happened to this legislation? Did it get voted on? Did it pass? Did if fail? Do some research and find out the state of affairs. What do you think should happen? What do you think will happen? Be specific.
As we know, there are more and more people bravely to show their sexual orientation. When I walk on the street, the homosexual can easily to be seen in Taipei. So that means they can feel free to show their physical affection without any fears. Every time when I see them, I don’t feel any different. Because it’s true love too, no one restrict people have to fall in love with the opposite sex. Of course there is no law to rule people which relationship is the correct way. Furthermore, people have the right to show their physical affection even it's different from most people. Love is not judge by sex, color or age. But true love is what we really want. No matter lesbian or gay, the relationship they have is true love. Thus, I don't feel any special about their relationship and most of the people can accept them too. So no matter both of lesbian or gay relationship they kiss on the street or have a real big hug that it is their right to show their loves to each other. Like opposite sex relationship they do the same way as them, so why do we have to use different standard to judge homosexual relationship? So we should accept all the different love from all the different people
The movie, The Day the Earth Stood Still, is coming soon to play in Taiwan. At first I didn’t heard the movie that I know this movie is because of a promotion of ASUS ‘s mainframe with this movie. The major cast is Keanu Reeves who is the most important in this movie because I think many women will to see this movie for seeing Keanu Reeves.
This movie is about the earth will be ruined that Keanu Reeves will save the human (maybe?!) The trailer looks interesting for me that I can’t wait to see that.
This is trailer about this movie:
If you are interesting about this movie, you can go theater on 2008. 12.12 which day is release date.
They are showgirls for ASUS in Information show in Taipei World Trade Center. I met them in my first day that they are so nice, and we made friend immediately. In the show, I’m a fresh man that they teach me many things, and encourage me a lot when I stand on the stage. If I was without them accompany me, I would be bored in the whole time.
I came back school yesterday because of I want to go classes, even if I’m so exhausted in Taipei Information Show, but I still took bus come back. Unfortunately, I sleep sooooooooo deep that I couldn’t hear my alarm, so I woke up in the 13:54. :( The result is I didn’t come to ALL of classes on Wed.
I can’t help to think what I come back the dormitory to sleep all day? I have little
regret about I should come to class but I didn’t….
I still remember the first day I’m pretty nervous when I stand on the stage. To be honestly, it is so terrible memory that I felt I was shook alllllllllllllll the time. Just only 20 minutes, I was perspired and I can’t find the way to attracts multitude that is so dispiriting…I hope everything will be fine in last few days.
Finally, we get the Phonetics midterm that we totally have 3 weeks of midterm-exam. it is too long time for prepare the test that I lost my little patient of preparing it that want to finishing the exam as soon as possible; but I also want to get high score in the same time.
Today I'm so bussssssssssssy because I need to go the trade center at 10:00, tried out for a music video that's casting a female actress for MV at 14:00, and came back to trade center for rehearsal at 16:00. The places are long distance from other place. The important thing is I spent NT.600 to take taxi that is so expensive for me. When I came back home, I’m so exhausted….
In the beginning, I don’t want to see the animation because I think it is for child that is boring to me, but many friends around me that all of them have good commentaries for the movie, and encourage me to watch. Finally, I want to the theater to watch it. As they said, It is a nice movie, and it is suitable for every age level. In fact, it is about love story, and the love story is not most we seen. If you want to know more, I advise to rent the DVD that is worth. tell you a little secret, I was cried in the end.
This is a trailer:
last night, i was stay up all the night, so I didnt have any appetite. In fact, i really want to lay on bed all the time I'm so exhausted. I hope the night is coming fastly that i must be take a well rest. I swear I never stay up all the night that is not good for all the things.
I didn’t see my boyfriend for totally three weeks because the midterm week, and my family. Sometime I need to find the balance in the time. Want to go home in TaiPei or TaoYuan, study on campus, and find my boyfriend in TaiChung there are difficult choices that I could not to do these in the same weekend. So I need to go back Taohung, Taipei, and Taichung for different weekend. In fact, it is tiring, but also worth.
This weekend, I’m going to find my boyfriend in TaiChung, but I also have training of ASUS on Saturday in Taichung, and meeting on Sunday in Hsinchu. I think this weekend will be busy.
The movie is the 22nd series of James Bonb. The major performer is not Pierce Brosnan anymore from 21st James Bonb. The new one is Daniel Craig. Many people have bed remark about the new James Bonb. Because he don’t like the old James Bomb have black hair, so most people said Daniel Craig will be changed, and they don’t think he have ability to perform James Bonb. They think in the 22nd the character will be the different one who has black hair. I think that is ridiculous comment. In fact, I really like Daniel Craig from last movie. (Especially his muscle. ha) He performs the soul of James Bonb, and to prove the ability doesn’t have relation with The Color of Hair. I really want to see the movie. I hope I can go theater to see it this weekend. I hope I have enough time.
I think the thing is ridiculous about they said they hunt for scientific research; but in the truth, they hunting the whale for food, not for research. In honestly, we didn’t have effective way to ban this because we can’t accurate to know propose when they are hunting. It is too long distinction in the environment and the people who want to prevent the endanger species because the both side have different though in the same thing. Some one believes the hunting boats are for research which is their TRUE purpose. Some people said they know the true purpose is for food. We can’t figure out which side is right.
Many people in Asia to earn the money depends on the hunting the Whale. If they can’t to fish the Whale, they will have no money to live. It’s worthy to sympathize, but the hunting the Whale is an immorality thing. I think effective way to avoid the thing is change the hobby of diet. If people don’t eat organ of the whale, the fish men will not to hunt the whale.
Must people say they are afraid to take exam, but in my opinion the thing they should be worry is the SCORE, not the EXAM. I’m so tired about midterm because my midterms last for 3 weeks. It is to long that I need hang in many paper and assignments. After this midterm, I must need to take rest!!
the Animal Protection Act
I think the penalty is too lenient. Especially only the person, who abuses animals, causes serious harm to animal, uses live animals to be the prizes of game, and sells dead dogs or cats in the public that his/her photographs will be made in the News, Newspaper, and TV. I think the any person who was violence the amendment that their photographs should be published, not only above the reasons. According the amendment, I can’t help to think the punishment is effect, or not. Maybe the person who was be punished will abusing his or her animals more serious in the secret, and no one knows. I think if the people were being found, and their animals should be taken care by the government. The penalty is not sufficient to avoid the abusing. The government should give the sinner the lessons or asks to do something for public welfare. Only find the money is not enough.
Animals Taiwan
They are some volunteers who want to improve the homeless pets and treatment of animals in Taiwan. Their purpose is try to find some solutions for the problems are about the abusing animals, pet overpopulation that they want teach the people through education, their efforts, and different outreach programs. The group is take care the homeless pets, and help they can be adopted. They want to save the livelihood, and also give the useful information on the website to teach people the right thing.
People saying, "a friend in need is a friend indeed." I totally agree this one. But sometime I think what is friend? What does means about friend? In my opinion, I think the true friend is when you really need some helps, even it is hard to do or spends your time that s/he will help you without any complaint and try to do him/her best. I want my friend will do that for me because I will do my best that try to help my friend to pass the difficult thing.

In my opinion, if the student who is cheating in class, s/he should be failed the subject, then double check the others classes’ assignments and quizzes which are cheating, or not. But we should give the second chance to the student who cheats because every one has mistakes like stolen the money from the parents, and didn’t hand in the assignments, and so on. Most mistakes can be forgiven, why the cheating shouldn’t be forgiven? People need have second chance to learn the things which are right, or not. I think the lessons which teach the student to recognize the thing is cheating or not. This is a way to fix their mistakes. Maybe they didn’t know before!
This afternoon, I'm going home. I haven't been home in TaoYuan for three weeks. I actually miss my family, specially my younger brother, and the fruit which couldn't often eat in the school.
This week I will spend much money to buy the facial care product, and I must be eat much, and sleep a lot which are so happiness things in the world!!!
Lovely home I’m coming!!!!!!!!!!
After I came Hiahchu, I had many different sicknesses like cold, fever, dizzy, Meniere's Disease, and so on in this year. In the pass, I often said, "I seldom go to see the doctor even my friends around me have sick. I have a healthy body." BUT now I couldn't say the word like before.
Couple days ago, I was sickness again that causes I couldn't go classes for two days. The sickness is Bladder Inflammation. I want to go restroom all the time, and the urine was RED that means my urine is with BLOOD! I was shocked and go back Taipei to see the doctor immediately. (because I don’t believe the medical skill in Hsinchu, and I though the doctors in big hospital see the patient in haste that I have bed experiences in Hsinchu)
Thanks god, I get well soon after take some medicines.
I promise I never dare to hold the urine.
P.S. Sorry, Jeff. I didnt come to class in Tuesday morning. :(
Many people said the movie is so excellent. The accumulated box-office in Taipei is up to 215 million that is miracle of Chinese Movie. Lots of people said they saw the movie in the theater for 3 to 5 times that is so amazing to me. Because I don’t ever saw that!! I think an important element to its box-office success is in the film's honest depiction of daily life in southern Taiwan that it is close for every one.
This is the trailer of the movie:
If you have interesting about that, you can go the theater to see the all. I think I will rent the DVD to do home. In fact, I still don’t want to pay the ticket to see the Chinese Movie, even if it is excellent film. :P
Questions 1:
In Taiwan, lots of people judge one person depends on the score and the school. It is the important reason for the students wants to cheat. When you look for the career, the human resource manager depends on the school is good or bed which is point you have the job or not. If you have great school, you will be hired. If you have worst school, you don’t have any chance to be hired. It is ridiculous thing because some people have great ability to work or do something well but they have bed score in school, so they want to cheat for higher score, for the higher chance to get the job. Most reasons are they want the higher grade, but they don’t have ability to get even they are study hard. I know some people who cheated before, but I didn’t see they do the thing recently.
Questions 2:
Giving a fail score, and expelling from the school are the punishments in Taiwan. In the same time, the thing will be written down on the transcript. And you have the mark that means the mark will tell the person who looks at the transcript you are cheating person. I think we can give the fail score and expel, but we should give the person who was cheated the second chance. If the thing was written down on the transcript, the person can’t be given the second chance to change anymore. Every one will be judge the person is bed guy. So I think we can give the fail score and expel from the school, but we can’t written down the reason why the person give a fail grade or expel from school. When we punish the person, we should teach some lessons about the cheating for him/her that it is a way to avoid the person do the same thing again.
Questions 3:
The standard about judging the person in the society need to be changed that should not depends on the score or the rate of school that the problem will be solved. But we know it is hard to change. Before the standard is change, I think the way to solve the problem is quit the quizzes and assignments, which use the paper. The teacher would test their students in using the oral test one by one. In this way the student could not try to cheat because they don’t have way to cheat in front of the teacher.
The penalty for plagiarism at Stanford University?
The standard punishment for a first-time violation is a one-quarter suspension and 40 hours of community service. The student would be given one-quarter suspension into a two-quarter delay in the conferral of the degree, if his final quarter of enrollment the standard practice

This song, Help me, is my favorite recently. I was heard in the bookstore, Eslite, couple weeks ago. When I heard the song, I love it immediately. The melody is soft and comfortable that can relax the whole physiology and psychology in the midnight.
Its lyric is very very short.
The lyric is below:
You’re leaving me a thousand times
But you don’t know
You’re healing me with your touch
But you don’t know
You don’t know
Help Me
This is 2 years old, and my sister.
On my graduation of kindergarten. Look at my chin.
Im with my 6th grader classmate.
It is now!Today I'm going to the training of PC D.I.Y. in ASUS Royal Club in HishChu. I was being trained the different kind skills and knowledges of marketing, computer, sale, and so on by ASUS in almost 1 year. Time goes fast, I will be finishing the training at the end of November.
I still remember the interviews were so nervous, and never think I will enter the training, but now I’m learning a lot of things which couldn't be learned by the school. After finish the whole train, I must be missing the process in the year.
This one is my favorite photo because my act.
Why is Victor's facial expression so serious???
When I saw the trailer, i think it is comedy, but in fact, I felt it is romantic comedy because it is not so fuuny in whole movie that I felt so sorry in some parts of movie.
The character, Shelly, lives in the Playboy mansion before she is kicked out of the place due to her age, twenty-seven year old (This is fifty-nine in bunny years). She leave the mansion, and become the house monther of sorority. She changed the girls in the sorority and herself life. In the place, she find the true love and the value of live.
If you are instereing the moive, but don't know it is worthy to pay that you can go the wibsite to see the plot and trailer.

Question 3
4 months ago, I was first time to dye my hair for celebrating my 20 years old birthday, and it is awesome chestnut. Every one saw it, and said this color is suitable for me.
Now the new black hair is growing up, and it looks like reverse pudding, which means some black hairs are on the root, and others are brownish-yellow hair. It is so awful, and I was being laughed so many times.
Finally, I’m going to dye hair again, and no one will laugh at my hair.
Sometimes I think
Why are women always more sensitive than men?
Why are women usually felt along? And men are not?
Why are women often crying when have quarrel with men?
Why are women sometimes be lied by white lie from men?
I don’t understand what causes the results to women, maybe men and women are not fair in the original.
I saw the movie, Eagle Eye, at last Saturday with my boyfriend. It is an action film that I was so excited through the movie.
I was expected it's worthy of paying the tickets to see when I saw trailer in the theater. And I was really interested to know who is anonymous caller, but I was so disappointment in the end because the anonymous caller is artificial intelligence system, which is using many times in recently movie. I really don’t like the plot is about an artificial intelligence system is lose control, and it causes many terrible to human being which it is OLD material.
I think the artificial intelligence is BIG mistake in whole movie.

This weekend I came back Taoyuan to find my daddy. When I just open the door that I heard my little boy said, "sister comes back.” in Chinese immediately, and he was run to the door that want talk to me. His sound is so CUUUUTE, and he is my little brother who is only SIX years old. We are 13 years apart in age. He is my stepbrother, but I treat him like own brother. Maybe the reason is I love children very much that I think all of children are angels.
Children Are More Cutest In The World.
I saw the movie, Once, in my summer vacation. Music is the fabric in this movie. The main characters are naturalistic drama stars musicians Glen Hansard who is of popular Irish rock band, The Frames, and Markéta Irglová as musicians.
I love this one because it's a different style with others film, and the plot is so closer to our life. The movie is being delivered the emotional with people by music. Music is fill full in whole movie. Just like mortal’s action. For example, we usually choose different styles of music to listen when we have different sentiments.
In this movie, you just need to listen the songs, and enjoy it.
This URL is my favorite song in the movie.

The man in the picture is one of my best friends, and he also is my neighbor. His name is Nick, and I always called him "sister Ella"(in Chinese). Because he is similar to one of member in the girls group, S.H.E., who name is Ella.
28th September is my teacher's B-Day. He is my high school's teacher who treated me as his daughter, so I like him very much. He is the bestest teacher in my mind. In past years, I came back high school on 28th Sep. to celebrate for him. But the year, I'm so busy that I forgot his birthday. I'm so compunction for that.
