Are you feeling low? And how low?

Are you feeling low? And how low?
Are you feeling low? And how low?
When I was browsing on the net, a piece of news which took place about one and half months ago astonished me. A 13- year- old boy jumped off 24 floors and killed himself. In his blogs and will letter, he described he was so hooked in the net game and entangled between the real world and the virtual one. His recounts about stories between him and his three best friends puzzled his father and all teachers at school. Why, becasue none of them had ever heard of them before, which turned out to be nobody other than three characters in a popular cyber game.
Sad, isn't it? Another related story is about Cui Yongyuan, a very popular TV programme host of CCTV disclosed he got very serious dysthymia for two years already. And relevant reports said in China today more than 16 million people are suffering serious depressive disorders, 250,000 of which commit suicide each year.
I myself was scared too,when checking with the possible symptoms of this illness, by the fact I am develping a little kind of that, too. Feeling low and losing interest in everything remaining silent and motionless for long. Oh, god! Living now is becoming so stressful to everybody, kids or adults, the poor and the rich and little potatos and celebrities, must counter different types of frustrations and stresses. If not welled handled very probably they could develop quickly into us. Therefore, only those really strong wills can conquer and survive.
Bad weathers of overcast sky and drizzles are definately killer of happy mood and possibly deadly,too. So, why don't we walk out of shadows and breathe the sunshines and cheer up. See you there!

oh my, oh m-eye
Now it's 1:10 pm and I still feels burning pains in my right eye. Lately I have been staying in front of my notebook too long. Guess it is this a little warning,too?
Tomorrow it's March 8th, the International Women's Day. Women-related sales, shopping news, tour programmes are everywhere in the city. And a good friend of mine is just back from L.S. for her vacation with all her workmates, females only. Three hours' bus drive away from Hangzhou, nestled in mountains and rivers, it's not only a very peaceful small town but also means something special to me. My mother was born there and also I spent my childhood there with my grandparents. Before she set off she asked me something about what's special there and what to see and what to do. "Eh, you see, LS maybe doesn't have magnicent architectures and breathtaking views as in other tourist destinations but here in this small town, I just hope you have good relaxation." But after she explained their schedule I doubt, for they were going to take train there. And that means they had to kill 6 hours on the train instead of 3 hrs only if by bus; and the programme seems so rushy they were supposed to stay there only 2 days despite of much troubles of transportation. They did it all in a very "duck-running" way. Welcome back, my friend and have good rest!
