Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!
I have been a christian since I was born, so Christmas is always an important and a joyful holiday for me. I used to celebrate Christmas with my friend in the church. At Christma Eve, I used to go to church, we sang songs and have a peaceful and thankful night. This year is a little bit different. I stayed in CGU, because the traffic here was inconvenience to go to church. I celebrated with my classmates. We exchanged gifts and had a few games. I got christmas cards and a pair of earrings.....I love it.

I'd Lie

I'd lie(by Tylor swift)

I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me

He tells me about his night
I count the colors in his eyes

He'll never fall in love he swears
As he run his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing cause I hope he's wrong

I don't think it ever cross his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
That I know all his favorite songs



(Chorus)
And I could tell you
His favorie color's green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful he has his father's eyes

And if you ask me if I love him
I'd lie






He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on?
Doesn't he know
That I've had him memorized for so long?

He sees everything black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine



(Chorus)



He stands there walks away
My God if I could only say
I'm holding every breath for you~


He'd never tell you
But he can play guitar
I think he can see through Everything but my heart

First thought when I wake up
Is my God he's beautiful
so I put on my make-up
And pray for a miracle






Yes I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Oh and it kills me

His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes

And if you ask me if I love him
If you ask me if I love him

I'd lie






This is one of my favorite song by Tylor Swift.She's a young singer and writter in America.It tells about a girl falls in love with a boy, but not dare to confess that she loves him.That's why the lyrics says" if you ask me if I love him, I'd lie". I love the melody of this song. It can simply accompany only by guitar. The lyrics tells how's a girl think and what a girl want to say when she's in love.It's very earnest.haha~

A busy week

Today is Friday...wow...time passes really fast.Finally the weekwnd is coming.I had Chemistry quiz on Monday,and Physics mid term exam on Wednesday.At least, the economy exam on Thursday evening. I just came back from the Chemistry lab. My partner and I had a sucessful result of the experiment.

Qualities of a Good Paramedic

Basic Composition
Jessica 謝依芩

2008/11/25


Outline
Introduction: A good paramedic need to have several qualities including patient, carefulness, optimistic, talkative and basic medical knowledge.
Body
1.patience
2.carefulness
3.optimistic
4.talkativeness
5.basic medical knowledge
Conclusion: with all these qualities, they will build up paramedics’ confidence, and the patients will be willing to trust them.

Essay
People in Taiwan love to become a paramedic since they have higher salary than other occupations. But is everyone suitable for working in the hospitals or clinics everyday and facing people who are sick? Being a good paramedic needs several qualities which include patience, carefulness, optimistic, talkativeness, and most basically, medical knowledge.
When facing patients, paramedics need to have patient first. Most people who come to the hospitals to ask for help don’t have any knowledge of medicine. It is normal that they are curious and want to know everything. When explaining to them, paramedics not only need to be patient but also use medical proper nouns as less as possible.
Second, since they are treating humans rather than non-living things, they should be careful and consider clearly before making any decisions or moves. Making a small mistake can cause serious damages. For example, a pharmacist gives the wrong medicine to the patient and the patient past away after taking the medicine.
Third, they need to be optimistic. Working in a place that faces illness people everyday might make them feel depressed and hopeless. One way to cheer them up is being optimistic. Take everyday as a new challenge, and believe that It will be a great day today. Gives hope to not only themselves but also people around them.
Being a paramedic, they might meet different kinds of people everyday. A good communication skill is needed. For example, a child is having physical therapy three times a week. If the therapist is talkative and funny, the child would be excited about having the treatment every time. But if the therapists seldom smile, don’t like to talk and always pull a long faces, the child would feel bored and wouldn’t like having the treatment.
The last quality of being a good paramedic is also the most important one, the basic medical knowledge. Since becoming a paramedic, most people pass through the training at medical school. Certainly, the things that schools teach are mostly about medical knowledge. Without basic medical knowledge, paramedics couldn’t cure illness people.
Getting into medical school in Taiwan is a hard task, and becoming a good paramedic is much harder. But if they have the heart of being a good paramedic, and with all these qualities, their confidence will be built up, and the patients will be willing to trust them.

C O L D

Last week was sooooooooo cold. I used to live in the southern part of Taiwan, and the lowest temperature of my hometown was about 17 Celsius. Joe told me that the lowest temperature last week was only 13 to 14 Celsius and it will go lower when the winter is here. I can't believe it!!! I don't think I can live here through this winter. The coldest day of last week was Wednesday, according to my own opinion(haha). I didn't want to move. Usually, I would go to the library to study, but not last week, cause it was cold outside. I just wanted to stay in my dorm.The weather got warmer yesterday, but the weather boardcast say it will be cold again on 12/27.....hope I can get through it.

Can I Have This Dance

Can I Have This Dance(High School Musical 3)

Take my hand
Take a breath
Pull me close And take one step
Keep your eyes
Locked on mine And let the music be your guide.


Won't you promise me (Now won't you promise me)
That you'll never forget (We'll keep dancing)
To keep dancing Wherever we go next




It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone Like you

It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way We do

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?



Take my hand
I'll take the lead And every turn
Will be safe with me

To be afraid Afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you Through it all

And you can't keep (even a thousand miles)
Us apart (can keep us apart)
Cause my heart (cause my heart)
Is wherever you are


It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone Like you

It's one in a million The chances of feeling the way We do
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance?





Oh,No mountain's too high enough Oceans too wide
Cause together or not Our dance won't stop
Let it rain let it pour

What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe That we were meant to be
Yeah~



It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone Like you (Like you)
It's one in a million The chances of feeling the way We (we do) do

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?










This is the song from a recent movie called High School Mucisal 3.I have been a big fan of High School Musical since the first movie came out.My classmates in high school love this series of movie,too.So we have every soundstrack, we memorized lyrics of almost every song.The series of movies talk about the life of high school in America, and performed it by singing and dancing."Can I Have This Dance" is my favorite song in this movie.

Crazy

I had a good time yesterday. Sharon took me to Taipei shopping. We got in the school bus, heading for the Taipei station, and arrived there about 2 and a half. Walk into the 2nd floor of Taipei station, we saw a lot of food stands, and our stomach began to argue.So we had our lunch there.Then we headed for a small mall next to the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi. In that dpartment, there are a lot of interesting stores, selling their own creations.Both of us brought some post cards with funny pictures on them.Our main purpose of this trip was to "get my ears pierced'' . I had wait this moment for a long time, however,I was very nervous.It wasn't that pain as I thought. It looks good right now......hahaha
I got back to my dorm about 11 o'clock.Then after a few hours, when I was about to go to bed, someone asked me to go out and bought something to eat,because he was hungry.I took a glance before I walked out, it was about 3 o'clock in the morning. We went back about 4 and a half. I didn't feel sleepy anymore.So we decided to watch the sun raise.We sat near the volleyball field, waiting for the sun to appear.Finally,the sun raised, we felt excited when seeing the sun.Because that means we cwn go to bed.I didn't close my eyes all night last night. I climbed into my bed at 6:30 in the morning. I felt satisfied and felt asleep very quickly.
It was the most crazy thing I had done in my whole life.

Well done

I have a mid-term test of Chemisty and Physics last Monday and Wednesday.Before taking the test, I was so nervous, because this is my first test since I went into college.The Chemistry test began at 10 o'clock in the morning.I had full preparation for this test, so I walked into the classroom and started the test with great confidence.The test wan't that hard as I thought it would be.I walked out of the classroom with a smile on my face. I think I did a good job on the Chemistry test.Two days later,here came the most excited test, Physics. Everyone of us studied hard before the test,cause we don't wanted to fail this course.When the test began,we all focused on the exam. The teacher gave us 2 hours to took the exam. I finished most of the questions in time. I didn't know how I did on the test, but at least I did my best.The result of the test will come out next week.How exciting!!!

Physics

oh my God~right now I feel like dying cause I've studied Physics for the whole afternoon. I did pretty well in Physics during junior high school, but I can't handle it anymore. I hate it everytime I saw it, and feel disgusting. My dad used to tell me that I need to like Physics before I did well on it. I can't believe the exam is coming this Wednesday. I have to go and finish my study. Got to go....bye~

Hero

There's a hero If look inside your heart
You Don't have to be afraid of what you are

There's an answer If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away


And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you










It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand For you to hold
You can find love If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt Will disappear



And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive
so when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you


ohhhhhh~
Lord knows dreams are hard to follow
but don't let anyone tear them away

Hold on There will be tomorrow
In time You'll find the way~

And the hero comes along With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive
So when You feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you~
That a hero lies in.....you.........
Mmm~~~~
That a hero lies in ....you........









I love this song soooooooo much
especially the version of Mariah Carey's



it's an encouraging song
I listen to this song everytime when I'm down

I believe that deep down inside everyone's soul
there surely live a hero
we could do things that we don't think we could everytime the hero comes along
dreams are hard to achieve,but if we stick to it
nothing is impossible
because everyone's a hero

My favorite blog

I have been looking for my favorite blog for the last few hours, and I finally found it.
This is it.....
When I first visited this blog, I was attracted by its colorful frontpage and the cheerleader's picture immediately. "What a sunshine girl she is", this is the first thought that came into my mind about the belonger of this blog.Then I began to take a close look at her articles. I did find some interesting ones. For example, "Miracles", "Proud of you", ''Where there is a wall, there is a will" and "The word~Mother''. My favorite would be"Girls should know.....". That is a really awesome article. It separate man into different kinds, and tells girls that different kinds of man have differnt respond when they talk about relationship with girls. So girls, take a look at this articles, it might help you. This is really a fantastic blog. I like it a lot, and hope you feel the same way with me.
