Christmas is around the corner, but not everyone look forward to it.

 
  Christmas is around the corner. It seems everyone is ready for the happy day. When walking on the street, shops and department stores have prepared everything including Christmas trees, many activities and discounts for buyers. In fact, I wanted to share how I expected the coming Christmas at first, but I kept thinking about the tragedy happened in the Newtown, Connecticut recently.

  A 20-year-old gunman,  Adam Lanza, shot 28 people including his mom and children who were not older than 7. After shooting, he committed suicide. I did not know how the families who lost their children came over the hard challenge.

  CNN reports, " he was a shy kid, quiet, " said Alan Diaz who knew Lanza several years ago. " He would sometimes stand in the corner. We knew he was socially awkward and we just accepted it. But he was never threatening."( http://edition.cnn.com/2012/12/16/justice/connecticut-shooting-suspect-profile/index.html) The tragedy made me want to know why he did it. I heard that his mom was strict to him. Is it the reason? I want to know what we can do to stop the things from happening again.

  Last, I hope all the families can come over it even though it has to take long time. 

Change and Choose

  After entering college, I feel a little annoyed when I am alone. The college life is so different from the life of the senior high school that sometimes I can not adapt. Facing these changes, I want to avoid or even refuse to think about them. I am exciting on Fridays because I can go home. On the other hands, I feel upset every Monday because I have to return to school.

  There are many problems which we have to solve it by ourselves. We need to make time to prepare tests, reports and join some activities that we MUST have to take part in, or we will feel lonely when everyone talks about it. Well, doing everything good is difficult to me. I do not like the feeling that things are out of my control, but now I understand it is unavoidable. Facing these changes of life, I need to choose the thing that is important to me. I think we will face more annoying things in the future, but I am trying to learn how to adapt the challenges in my life and make the good choices that I will not regret. However, I think being alone and thinking is a good way to clear my mind, and it makes me relax.

My Friend and I

 I have many good friends, and I like to draw some pictures or make some small gifts to them. When I see something special, I would like to share my feelings with them because I know they can understand and will smile as I do. I want to record some special feelings in my life, and no matter they make me happy or sad.

  They were chocolate I made for my friend in Valentine's Day. In fact, it was my birthday gift which my good friend gave me. However, she asked me to make them and give one to her in Valentine's Day!! I like the gift because it fits me, and I know my friend understand me. By the way, they really tasted good!!!

  I like to draw something to entertain myself or others. It is Taemin, who is my favorite member of SHINee. It is very cute when you pick it up. I also drew some to my friends ,but I forgot to take pictures.

  However, my friends are all nice and know me so that I love them very much. They gave me a big surprise in my 18th birthday. They did so much that I was so touched and wanted to cry. Because everyone was so busy preparing for the exam, I couldn't imagine how much time they spent on my birthday.

My best friend spent one month to finish it!!! I wanted to cry when I saw it, haha!

                                        It is very thick!

It was made by my another best friend. She bought it in Starbucks, but she drew it by herself. ( She cut a 'Kathy' on it, see? )

I love my friends definitely not because of these gifts. I love my friends because we can smile, cry and share our feelings with each other.

Take a Break

I am so busy recently. In order to prepare for exams, finish homework on time and paarticipate in many activities, I merely have time to take a break to do anything else. In fact, I got annoyed when coming back to dorm with exhausted body and having no time to sleep. However, I really want to do nothing and just take a walk, take a few photos or just enjoy the relaxed time. I drew the picture below with my imagination. The peaceful atmosphere is all I look for.

I also have no time to draw. But if I can, I prefer to paint the idols I love so that I can concentrate on the picture not to worry about other things. The man I drew in the picture is a Japanese actor, who is 玉木宏. Because of the Japanese drama, 交響情人夢, I like him.after watching it.

The final one is a traditional Chinese painting which I finished in class when I was in senior high. Even though I was busy preparing exam, I still loved and spent some time finishing it. I need to have enough patient to adjust the shading value of the ink.

I am glad to have such an interest because I can reduce the stress of my life.

Some thoughts shown on the pictures

  I want to share some pictures in which there are some hints or which are some experiences in my life this time. First, the baby is actually my nephew. He is so cute that I wanted to sketch to tell everyone: HE IS MY CUTE NEPHEW!!!

The original photo( This one is cutter. )

  Second, the reason why I drew this picture was the amazing sunshine when I went to water flowers one day. In fact, I had a bad mood when my father told me to water flowers in a sunny and hot day. However, after I saw the beautiful sunshine and the green plants full of life, I was not annoyed anymore. The fresh air and green plants made me relaxed. The experience help me realize that keep calm, and you can find something special.

  The picture below was drew according to the photo I took in Asakusa(淺草), Japan. The owner of the stand was so focused on his work, and the positive and hard-working attitude of Japanese was good to follow. I hope I can follow the attitude to face anything in the future.

The last one I wanted to share is my favorite one and also the one won the No. 1 in Taiwan 3 years ago. I often read some report said that some models hoped they could get thinner, and they forced themselves to reduce their appetites. Moreover, they would get anorexia if they kept the bad habit of eating. I don't think it is really beautiful. It is a morbid state and the skinny models look unnatural. I want to tell people it was sick, and I hope the phenomenon will not continue.

The cute group I like.

  I have been a big fan of SHINee since I was in high school. SHINee is a Korean singing group cosisting of five boys. The reason why I love them is not only the music and dance but also the positive attitude they pursue their goal. When I listen to their music, I feel relaxed. However, I get motivated to face the future when seeing them work so hard.

 

  A few months ago, they released the 4th mini album 'Sherlock'. All SHINee World (the fans of SHINee) were excited about the new album, because it had been a year and a half not to have any Korean album. Because of the good news, I just drew the picture below by copying the cover of the fourth mini album.

It's the original one.

  When the graduation ceremony was coming, I made a gift to my best friend who also loves SHINee. I drew them by watercolor, and it took me two hours to finish it. The right one is Minho (the member my friend loved the most), and the one with pink sweater is Taemin (my favorite member). Fortunately, my friend loved it!! :D

  The last picture I want to share with you is the one I drew on Taemin's birthday, which is also the day to know the result of the Department Required Test. At that time, I was annoyed by the result because I didn't know which department I could choose. In order to make me calm, I just doodled to help me relaxed and enjoyed the quiet time when I drew.

  I watched their concert held in Taiwan on September, and it was the second concert I have watched. I think I will keep supporting them.:)
