mature with age???

I just read an article which my friend had e-mailed to me. A famous writer wrote about the changes of physical or mental on his middle-age. Before the age of forty i never had had the thought that I will be a middle-aged woman. Even though you don't wanna to admit this but your physical o'clock force you to face it. How cruel it is?
Let me think ....
Before: Taking a Vitamin C for the beauty.
Now: Taking the adult Centrum for living longer.
Before: Drinking the fruits acids beverages for your bone.
Now: Swallowing the capsule No.dol directly for your knee joint.
Ache of the neck and shoulder was not the only caused by lacking of sleep. Sometimes i scared my self that maybe it is the symptom of the heart stroke? At this time family will comfort you don't scared yourself!

No! No!It's the episode of the TV show. In fact my sister respond to me don't you known this sentence in Taiwanese the coffin is for the dead man not for the old man? Look! Even the conversation is changing into so serious.

fad away

I really didn't have a happy time in this Lunar Chinese New Year. We even given up to shoot off the firecrackers because of an old uncle lived across my home had passed away several days ago before the new year. We were still in the sad mood but another shock followed it. Our neighbor an old aunt died peacefully in the sleep. What's happen with the new year?

Most inhabitants of my town were from China in the beginning. Some of them are weak, old and still live alone. You will never know their pain which far from their home and family. These days the phenomenon of La Nina in China were broadcasted on TV news. The snowstrom prevented the million of people from home for the lunar Chinese new year. A girl shouted with tears "I wanna go home" and waved her hand at the same time. It reminds me of dad. The war had ever prevented them from home, either. A decision by a few people made is more terrible than the natural calamity. These words always can clear up my mood at this moment.
