Twice a year, we change the clocks to daylight saving time. And twice a year, my normally punctual assistant arrives late to work the Monday after we do so. I finally had to find out why.

“Do you have a problem remembering to spring forward or fall back?” I asked.
“Oh, no,” she said, pouring herself a cup of coffee.”What gets to me is staying up until 2 a.m. to change my clock.”

Mom never delved into my privacy, or even pried. Strange as it might sound, the more personal space I could dominate, the fewer secrets, or say no secrets, I kept. However, things began to change when someone special appeared in my life.

The Cupid arrow unexpectedly struck me: the boy overwhelmed my heart, abruptly, preoccupying my mind, and I couldn’t even focus on my academic work. I grasped a pen and put it to paper and composed so-called “poems”. I have scrawled poems to let out my feelings since mom instilled in me a love of literature as she read bedtime stories when I was a kid.

Abducted by love, as you can imagine, I was so absent-minded that one day I left my uncovered poem right on my desk:
“Infatuation turned out to be a huge crash.

Cross the bridge,

Never again will my heart scratch.

Memories of our days have been dashed.

\And you are the one I can only make a best wish.”

Back from school, I almost forgot the poem stuff. As usual, mom got dinner ready, and let out no sign of suspicion. With a black stare at the dishes, I had no appetite at all.

Mom cleared her throat with a concerned tone:”What’s wrong with you, honey?”

“Nothing, I’m fine.” I STAMMERED. “I have a load of homework to do.”

I franticly finished my dinner and rushed to my study. The more I tried to concentrate on my homework, as you might expect, the louder his name popped up in my mind. Like a flash, the poem laying quietly on my desk sprung up to my mind. Mom must have read it! My heart was pounding anxiously. I’ve never mentioned him to mom, much less to reveal the secret that he was my significant other. What a shame to be queried that I was drawn out in young love. Leaning against the door, I stared at the ground and shuffled my plod. I was trying hard to invent a perfect excuse to hide my would-be embarrassment, when the knock-knock-knock broke my train of thought.

“Are you ok? Can I have a word with you now?”

“Sure.” I stuffed my poem in the drawer.

Mom came in, a smile flickering across her face:” I have read your masterpiece, your love poem. To a sunny boy?”

Chances of concealing and escaping were slim, but I still retorted:”No. Never.”

“Oh, get it off!” She blinked with a gleam in her eyes.

I blurted out:” It was just, you know, incidentally, sort of graffiti. ”

“Have you showed your stuff to anyone else?”

“No, my pals will make fun of me!” I put my chin against my chest.

“I was talking to your professors, people who really know about poetry.” Mom gazed earnestly at me. “Go for it, and keep on writing your own poems. Why not submit it to a magazine?”

“Well…” I looked up to mom whose eyes were filled with anticipation and love. Mom patted my shoulder. “By the way, I always think you, my cute daughter, deserve a better guy. What is called love right now is just a bee in the bonnet, which is never eternal. Mr. Right is gonna be there for you in the future.”

I breathed a sigh of relief, and spilt the beans about the mysterious boy. Now he is no more than a chapter that has been long closed. As for mom and me, fortunately enough, she always has faith in me that I am a big girl who can handle things pretty well and get everything in control. That is also why I appreciate all the inspiration and understanding from my mom, my sweet mom.

The twinkling stars embellished the darkness while they adorned three girls with moonlight. It was 11:40 at night.

“After keeping a long ponytail for more than five years, I finally cut my hair short for a different style,” Wendy said with her hands constantly stroking her short hair.

“You look refreshing. That fits you well. Also, the color you chose highlights the new image,” Maggie added.

“Yup, thanks. You also look perfect. Your straight hair gives you a look of mature woman, a tender, gorgeous and well-behaved woman,” Wendy giggled.

I sacrificed almost 4 hours just to accompany these two young ladies for hairdressing. Fearing to miss the door-closing time, we quickened our steps.

As we approached the door of the apartment building, we saw our headmaster standing outside, blazing with indignation. Forcing smiles on our faces, we rushed towards the door guarded by the teacher. Obviously the teacher could clearly see us. She shouted, “Where have you been? Why are you not answering my calls? Your classmates have gone out to look for you. Now please call them back immediately!.”

We were at a loss about what had happened. Against the dim moonlight, we saw two familiar figures moving slowly toward us. By their stature, we recognized they were our roommates. We yelled to them as loudly as we could. Finally, Linda and Bone came back with a group of strangers.

“What happened to you? Are you OK? Why are you so late?” Linda asked eagerly and anxiously. At the same time, a guard said, “ Where have you been? Why didn’t you make a phone call to tell your friends that you would be late? They worried about you so much.”

Seeing Linda and Bone in pajamas and slippers, we all felt ashamed, bowing our heads at our mistake. At the same time, we were appreciating the pure love we owned and the faithful friends we had. We were feeling very warm as if by a gust of warm air.
“The haircuts took too much time. We thought it would not last that long. However…” Maggie murmured.

“We are terribly sorry. It’s our fault. It will never happen again,” Wendy swore.

“We did not do this on purpose. Maggie and Wendy didn’t take their cell phones and my cell phone was uncharged. Therefore, we couldn’t make any call,” I explained.

The teacher cut us short, “It is too late. Please go back to your bedrooms now.”

Noggin with repeated apologies, we filled out a record form of our coming back late. We expressed our thanks to the guards and went into the building.

As we were approaching our bedroom, we all tip-toed in order not to disturb others’ sleep. But to our surprise, none of our roommates were asleep. They were all sitting up worrying about us.

Finally we got into our beds. I felt for a new battery in my bag and inserted into my cell phone. Maggie and Wendy also put their cell phones into their school bags.
Before closing my eyes, I thought a lot about this little incident. It suddenly dawned upon me that we are actually part of one big family. Whatever we do may affect the life of the others. More than ever have I understood Confucius civility code “Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you.”
I closed my eyes, feeling safe and satisfied, for I knew my friends will always be there for me.

Some say the cyber love is as pretty as the fascinating dream in which we are unwilling to wake up; some say cyber love is so virtual that it is impossible to win the lover’s heart…

No matter young, old, single, married, talented or reckless, everyone may get involved in the cyber love. We can obtain the love which is difficult to find by merely a mouth, without investment of money or bearing too much burden or responsibility, you may also please yourself and others.

Is it worth devoting your true love for the virtual love? Do you take it for serious?

Actually, the internet is a kind of virtual world, we can do most of things through internet. For instance, shopping, chat, game, work, and so on, many field used by internet. So, fall in love by the internet is very normal.

I think the cyber love is very good for us, yes, I quite agree with that. First of all, if you are very tired for love in real world, you can try the cyber love. Yes, as we know, the love in real world that we need always consider lots of things, and the love is very complex. So, let people feel so tired. But for the cyber love, we always feel easy to find the feeling or something like that which what we want. So most of people are prefer to choose the cyber love when they are tired in the real world.

Yes, the cyber love can easy let people to feel without any pressure, let them always feel relaxed. But this is virtual world, we can’t take that for serious, because we are in the real world, we should face and admit it. So, you can take the cyber to be a part of your life, but don’t take serious.

As a matter of fact, the internet is virtual, so ,that exist some distance between us. So remember don’t take serious of that!

The nobleman have got the virtue of “keep one’s promise”, “He was as good as his words.” “Suit the action to the word” since the ancient times. We usually quote these to describe a man of his words.

No matter in work or everyday life, integrity is the virtue to measure the personal relationship. It is believed that all people would like to get involved with the honest people. Those who always break their promise or the non-noble persons will often be shunned from or expelled.

However, it is inevitable to break one’s promise sometimes. My dear friends, have you got that kind of experience? Do you keep your promise all the time?

From child to adult, I was educated to be integrity from family, school and social. A book I read tells me” Don’t keep promise easily, once you promise, you should keep your promise by whatever. Besides, I read a lots of celebrity biography and recall one sentence that man should be integrity , which Bill. Gates gave 13 advices to young man. Thereby, I always follow it. Usually I try my best to keep my promise.

Of course, when I broke my promise, I would be grief for a long time till now. Even I tried to compensate for it, I still can’t get rid of its shadow. When I went out to get a job for the first time, I came across a girl. The girl was about 3 years younger than me, but we were on the same wavelength. We had a enjoyable time in the bus. Before we said goodbye to each other, she left her address and asked me to keep contact with her by emails, I promised. But working is not good as I expected, I had stopped writing. Then a few years passed and my work got better than before, I guessed her might be in another school, so I hadn’t written any letters to her all the time. This matter made me deeply impression.

I also had an experience that somebody broke his promise to me, which I can’t forget. After graduation, one classmates borrowed much money which about my twice salary from me at that time, though my days was difficult, I still lent to him with sympathetic.

With growing old day by day, your love hasn’t show up, are you discouraged? Will you take the risk of getting old alone and persist in waiting for him/her? What is your feeling while you are waiting? Let us share your life experience.

After five hundred time ‘s looking back in past life  ,we miss each other this life .

What a moving sentence！However ,few of us can really catch the feeling.
After dalongtime0 spoke out her “declaration of love”, lots of friends in ICIABA
admitted that they still alone and waiting for the one . HaHa ,I have to say this
topic are too private .However, I don’t mind to exposal a little bit feeling of my
little emotional world.

Just like most peers ,I still waiting for my Mr Right now.
But, I wondering whether there is a Mr.R.waiting in this world.
I had a bf before .At last, we were seperated. I don’t know,just can’t find that feeling.
You know, we are all good boys .SO,when dealing with this kind of emotion, we are
Serious ,just as we are getting along with the man who will live together in all our life.
We wanna find out someone who really suit to each other, and that is the reason why we
are So wary. Never make a toy of your lover .Respect each other’s emotion.

Well, will I take the risk of getting old alone and persist in waiting for him/her?

I can’t answer this question definitely.Maybe , I will marry a man I like(not love)  when the time is right . Who can tell the man I marry is or isn’t the one we are waiting??Maybe the so called “Mr/Miss Right” is just around you ，what we have to do is cherish ,afer all we have spent 5oo times’to looking back !

As long as I have you on my way, I will even a little bitter.
Even we came across for separation;
As long as I have you on my way, I will even a little painful.
Even we are doom to separate from each other…

As is known to all, this is a classic song “With you all the way” by Jacky, and we will have lots to convey when hearing this song. It seemed that Jacky could walk into the hearer’s heart emotionally. The past experience seems to be vivid in front of us. Do you still remember the solemn pledge without any complaint or regret? Do you still feel reluctant to part with the momentary happiness?

Will you sing a song when you are sad? Which song will touch you most?

Will you sing a song when you are sad? I think I will not. When I am sad or I am alone, most of time, I would like to listen to music than to sing. I like caiqin very much, her songs  are slow, romantic and sentimental. Especially at night, when you are alone, you stand by window with a glass of red wine or you are in bed, her low-lying soft songs drift away from your ears, just like an old language with classical romance, or a kind of elegant sadistic . how cozy it is. My friends often ask me, when you are sad ,which song would you like to listen? Sentimental music bright  or rock music? I think I would choose first one, for through sad songs ,I can outlet my sad emotion.  I like Rene Liu, Asang also. I want to command some songs I like to all of you. My heart will go on , singer is Celine Dion, this song is known by all of us, Mad World, Tears And Rain , sealed with kiss, when you told me you loved me, Close to You, Gates Of Dawn, All I Have To Do Is Dream ,and so on. Lately, I hear a song of Xuekaiqi, its name is hope, but ,it is an old one.

When I am sad, sometimes ,I will go shopping and buy lots of things whether I like them or not, I often regret this crazy behavior for it is my money I earn with my diligence. ho ho。or buy lots of snacks, then guzzle，then ,I will regret also, for we need to spend our whole life to shape our body ,but ,destroy it, one night is enough.

The other day, there was a piece of news that someone opened a “venting store” which provides the angry men or those who would like to relieve themselves with services all kinds of tools, such as hitting “superman”, shooting different “Ray men”, dropping bottles and smashing glass, etc. It is said that the business was really “popular”.

As can be seen, people need to vent their feelings when you are upset or inhibited. It can be noticed that people around you will cry, shout, and fly into a rage; some may keep silent and buried themselves into work and ignore others; some may confide to friends, take a walk or have a chat, drinking and dancing…

What about you? What will you do when you are angry?

If I am angry with may parents or my confidants, may be I will argue with them, for I know no matter what I say , they will forgive me. But, if I am angry with my colleagues or my boss, I will just sulk, the only thing I can do is endurance, I have to consider effect, if I have bad relationship with them, I will be embarrassed ,or I do not know how to go on with my job, or else ,I will try to communicate with them.

In private, I will complain to my friend how aggrieved I am. I do not think it is well to conceal our anger, it is bad for our health ,my own opinion, I will never do this. Sometimes. My friends will ask me to go shopping with them, we will buy lots of things I grudge before, or we will buy lots of snacks, fill our stomach to no space for angry.

May be I am too old now , my mood is peaceful than before, I do not want to anger, even I will anger with my colleagues, I do not want to think about this, let it go, tomorrow is another day.

"When will my girl show up? With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky. I don't know how soon it would be the day of not being single. I'd like to be a monk in the temple,yet I fear to miss my beauties, I fear the temple is much too cold for me. Dancing with my shadow, leaving only the loneliness in the human world. Pursuing the girl and missing her sleepless. Bearing no grudge, when can I make my dream come true? There are high, short, fat and slim guys and tanned, white, pretty and ugly girls. This has been going on since the beginning of time. May we be blessed with eternity of love, and there is no single any more. "

The single's day is drawing near, which is not a pleasant day for certain group. While the couples accompany each other intimately, I may occasionally feel lonely and desire to enjoy the romance under the moonlight. However, why feel sorrowful and depressed to celebrate a happy Single's Day? I then began to sneer at the meaningless pretence, waving the curly hair briskly, striding with the rhyme. Afterwards, tell myself from the bottom of the heart--- my dear, Happy Single's Day!

Are you still single as a member of 70s', 80s' or 90s'?  If you are, how do you spend this special day each year? If you aren't, please share your story with us.

Wow, it seems the topic that easy make people feel misunderstanding, but it’s very attractive. You will be interested on this topic when you see this topic.

Ok, anyway, let’s talk about the topic, the “single’s Day” means special for single. They can hold a single part on tonight and celebrate they are very happy as a single. They can do everything what they want , because there is nobody limit them at this moment. Come on, enjoy our day.

I don’t know whether you have heard “single of aristocrat” or not. We can think about it, people use the “aristocrat” to describe single. So, that means as a single is very noble.

For me, yes, I am a single too, I feel this kind of life is very comfortable, freedom, and no need more to consider too much about love. Yes, it’s kind of simple life, I like it.

Actually, most of people doesn’t really want to be a single , they want to find a guy who are suitable for ourselves. But may be , they were be hurt before, so they don’t want to going to love.

Because they are afraid to be hurt again, so they prefer to single rather than that.

Ok, that’s all. I’m here to wish very single to find sweetheart early.
