Photo album

I like pictures becuase it has many stories and memories. They sometimes console me or give energy to smile again. My family is big, so I have many photo albums. When I see the albums, i feel strange to myself. My face and atmosphere have been changing. One day, my friend called me and told me, “You’re getting old, Congratulations!” She and I share not only many photoes but also the old time as a memory, so we had a lot of talks while watching the pictures. I thought I remembered the time vividly, but I didn’t. There were somethings that I forgot totally. I didn’t remember who he or she is, where is, and… I was really happy at that time. I had a face telling that “I’m happy.” Big smile and even my eyes were smiling. I couldn’t take my eyes off, and i took energy from it. Pictures are mirror that can watch the past days.


Breaking Dread

Most people have own dread about something. A person may feel afriad about specific animal like snake, rat, and so on. Or a person hates sharp things like nife. Occasionally, some people take a medicine or meet shrinks or psychiatrists because of fear. However, people can overcome the fear without helping outside. The key is inside of the people. In my case, I am much afraid of swimming, so I can walk in the beach. Some people around me didn’t understand and still laugh at me saying that you must learn how to swim. One day, someone told me that the truth you can’t swim makes you fearful about water. Actually, I didn’y overcome my dread yet, but I think the vage fear is nothing if I know the problem and have will to break it.

Also, type B has incorrigible disposition, especially, men with blood B are notorious as rude people.  The worst type is AB because men or women are too unique to go with other people. It isn’t fare, is it? Netizen make a list classifying blood type that incosist of popular person like singers, actors, or presidents. Besides, people say freely, “I don’t like blood type AB or B man.” It’s not reasonable. People have to throw the stupid division.
