Big Typhoon Day

When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. —Deuteronomy 18:9

When you are desperate for information about your future, turn to the sovereign God of heaven. He is the only One who holds the answers you seek. —Marvin Williams

The what of our future is determined by the who of eternity.


Today was BIG typhoon day,so I gained a holiday. Originally, I was supposed to go to Yim's studio myself for some reasons,but my mom and sisters said they're willing to follow for nothing to do today though and they haven't seen Yim yet. yea..I think so too.They ought to come together,likewise, I think they can disburden if they know what we do and if they understand what painting is. Thanks to Yim for being so kind and sharing interesting things with us.



I love this song because it makes me think of my friends,many memories and my dreams. I was touched beyond word although Christmas day hasn't come yet. Anyway it does make me smile and weep at the same time. :) Hope you're enjoy listening to it with me!




When Christmas Comes To Town

La la la la …
I’m wishing on a star
And trying to believe
That even though it’s far
He’ll find me at Christmas Eve
I guess Santa is busy
Cause he never comes around
I think of him when Christmas comes to town

The best time of the year
When everyone comes home
With all this Christmas cheer
It’s hard to be alone
Putting up the Christmas tree
With friends you come around
It’s so much fun when Christmas comes to town

Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
All the things I’ve heard about, but never really see
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa’s on his way

Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
All the things I’ve heard about, but never really see
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa’s on his way


When Santa’s sleigh bells ring
I listen all around
The herald angels sing
I never hear a sound
And all the dreams of children
Once lost will all be found
That’s all I want when Christmas comes to town
That’s all I want when Christmas comes to town

May I be in your heart

Dear God, what's the direction and what's the way you prepare for me?

Challenging TOEFL is really really really a tough thing. I started taking Toefl class yesterday and I found it's really an impossible mission for me :( I don't have english classes everyday,so it's hard to set up the english environment. Also I find my painting time is getting fewer and those make me stressful. I do feel confused about my direction. I want to learn better english,but I feel that I don't want to study in this way. I feel something keep trying to draw me back,maybe painting..or maybe I just escape it ..I don't know.. Perhaps I get lost on facing different way,and then I feel unhappy. I know that my parent expect much of me,but I try to avoid to live by their expectation.

Lord,thanks for everything,although I don't understand and I can't see. You give me a way to go abroad. Do you also give me a chance to study abroad?
Anyway,I trust whatever the ways you make for me all is the best for me! "We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Heavenly Father,please be upon me, help me see your purpose in all things and establish the work in my hand and keep me on your side! Teach me to persevere in faith and to trust you for the outcome. Please bless everyone who is in needs.Thank you for listening to my prayers.
Your child loves you always...In Jesus' name.Amen.




** You'll be in my heart

Come stop your crying, it will be all right
Just take my hand, hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here don’t you cry

For one so small,you seem so strong
My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm
This bond between us can’t be broken
I will be here don’t you cry

And you’ll be in my heart
Yes, you’ll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You’ll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You’ll be here in my heart
Always

Why can’t they understand the way we feel
They just don’t trust what they can’t explain
I know we’re different but deep inside us
We’re not that different at all

And you’ll be in my heart
Yes, you’ll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You’ll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You’ll be here in my heart
Always

Don’t listen to them, cause what do they know
We need each other, to have and to hold
They’ll see in time, I know

When destiny calls you, you must be strong
I may not be with you, but you gotta hold on
They’ll see in time, I know

We’ll show them together cuz...
You’ll be in my heart
I believe, you’ll be in my heart
I’ll be there from this day on
Now and forever more

You’ll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You’ll be here in my heart always
Always...

I’ll be with you
I’ll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I’ll be there always



** 你永在我心中    菲爾柯林斯

來吧!別哭了
一切都會沒事的
牽著我的手,握緊它
我會在四週保護你
我會在這兒,別哭了

對一個小個子來說
你看起來好堅強
我的手臂會擁抱著你
保護你的安全與溫暖
你我之間這條繫帶不會斷掉
我會在這兒,別哭了

因為你永在我心中
是的,你永在我心中
從這一天開始
一直到永遠

你永在我心中
不管別人怎麼說
你在我心中,永永遠遠

為何人們無法了解我們的感受?
他們無法信任
自己無法解釋的事情
我知道我倆與眾不同
但在我們內心深處
我們其實並非如此

別聽他們說的
他們知道些什麼?
我們需要彼此擁有與擁抱
他們終究會明白的,我知道

當命運在召喚著你
你一定要堅強
我也許無法與你同行
但你一定要堅持下去
他們終究會明白的,我知道
我倆將一同讓他們了解

Nude painting


Nude (around 1F 22.5 x 13.5 cm) . oil painting - 07.15.2008

I have to have this one taken down for some reasons,although the colors of the photo is a little different from the original one. In some way,it means a lot to me! I'm not going to say why though. ;p

Many friends asked me if I felt weird when I saw the nude. ha..
I was just shocked for the asking and I didn't know how to answer in a good way. But actually I didn't think about the stuff at then. But I tried to recall the first time while I was 17 years old what I react. I didn't feel weird or strange while I was seeing the nude. I just felt nervously while I knew that I was going to see the nude. After I saw the nude,no any novel ideas could be come out. It's just the time for painting. ︿ ︿

Then some people asked me if God thinks to paint nude is right or not. A shocked question again!! Well... I don't know. Is there anyone can answer this?!
Dear God,how do you think?! @ @


I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things. —Isaiah 25:1

God’s goodness undergirds our lives In many silent ways;
His blessings are beyond compare—For them we give Him praise. —D. De Haan

God keeps giving us reasons to praise Him.

Dear God,thank you!


陽明山 : Yangmingshan

It's great that having a chance to go outside so that I can take a breath from the english study. Not only having a lot of fun but learning new things. It's not about pianting study though. I still enjoy watching and the sunshine. See..what a wonderful day!


擎天崗 : Ching Tian Mound

God is amazing creating such spectacular landscapes. It has been long long time that I haven't felt like this. From the hill overlooking the peaceful landscape,I felt so relaxed. I heard many sounds from everywhere,which were birds,cicala,other insects that I don't know their names,cars,people,..the murmur of the little brook,and the whispering in the wind. I could hardly wait to hear what they wanted to tell. Nontheless,that's a secret,I didn' get it. ;)



陽明山國家公園 : Yangmingshan National Park



Yim had his programs keep shooting,so Yangmingshan was the location today. Yim wanted me to go together for some helps,but I didn't think I can be a help. Really,I didn't help much,and even it can be said that nothing I could do. So I found this one, a centipede. It did give me a scare,but I found it's dead.
However,it still looks like alive. Right?!!!



That's cool! How could there be such a thing having lots of feet?! wheeew..what a close.. it doesn't need to wear shoes.



I watched them for a while.yeah..they also watched me back. I didn't expect that we can have a conversation though. The big dog probably is mother. The doggies were just born. How happy they are living in the top of hill! Enjoy the sunshine,feeling the wind,breathing the fresh air,and playing together!

umm^ ^... what a gorgeous day!
Thanks to teacher for taking me out, also thank him for cheering me on studying english hard and encouraging me to keep up the art work!

English,may I love you.


970712 oil painting . 3F

Is it foolish to ask God if I really can study abroad? Studying english for the Toefl test does make me so tired,but it's so great that painting maks me feel better and happy. Thank God again for preparing this wonderful thing in my life!

This small one I tried to change the colors of the still paintings. Sometimes it's really hard to put things together and make them match,especially the integral artistry of painting that I wanted. I still don't know how to make my painting has more aesthetic feelings or perceptions. How to figure out the ways of strokes to stay or go is more esthetic?! Also I found my still stuffs are not enough.

It's time to pray!
Heavenly Father,great morning star,in difficult time,may I trust you to bring me light and new hope . Please guiding me to the way You open for me and may I be receptive to your leading for my direction. Teach me to persevere in faith and to trust you for the outcome. Thank you for listening to my prayers. In Jesus' name.Amen.


My Prayer - by Devotion
(spoken)
Dear god,
I know that shes out there...the one Im suppose to share my whole life with.
And in time...youll show her to me.
Will you take care of her, comfort her, and protect her...until that day we
Meet.
And let her know...my heart...is beating with hers.

In a dream I hold you close

Embracing you with my hands
You gazed at me with eyes full of love
And made me understand

That I was meant to share it with you
My heart my mind my soul
Then I open my eyes
And all I see reality shows Im alone

But I know someday that youll be by my side
Cause I know gods just waiting till the time is right

God will you keep her safe from the thunderstorm
When the days cold will you keep her warm
When the darkness falls will you please shine her the way
God will you let her know that I love her so
When theres no one there that shes not alone
Just close her eyes and let her know
My heart is beating with hers

So I prayed until that day (prayed until that day)
When our hearts will beat as one (when our hearts hearts will beat as one)
I will wait so patiently (patiently)
For that day to come (for that day to come)

I know someday that youll be by my side
Cause I know gods just waiting till the time is right

God will you keep her safe from the thunderstorm
When the days cold will you keep her warm
When the darkness falls will you please shine her the way (shine he the way)
God will you let her know that I love her so
When theres no one there that shes not alone
Just close her eyes and let her know
My heart is beating with hers

Is beating with hers (ooo)
My heart is beating with hers (oooo)
Its beating with hers

God will you keep her safe from the thunderstorm
When the days cold will you keep her warm
When the darkness falls will you please shine her the way
God will you let her know that I love her so
When theres no one there that shes not alone
Just close her eyes and let her know
My heart is beating with hers

Oh~~~ its beating with hers
(its beating with yours)

Paint my love

Waiting for someone to sing me his song one day.
I feel tired right now...
Please pray for me.
Thanks and Love lots.


Paint my love Michael Learns to Rock

From my youngest years till this moment here
I've never seen such a lovely queen
From the skies above to the deepest love
I've never felt crazy like this before

*Paint my love
You should paint my love
It's the picture of a thousand sunsets
It's the freedom of a thousand doves
Baby you should paint my love

Been around the world then I met you girl
It's like coming home to a place I've known(*)

Since you came into my life
The days before all fade to black and white
Since you came into my life
Everything has changed(*)


彩繪吾愛 搖滾麥克合唱團

從我童稚時代到此刻
我從未見過如此美麗動人的女王
從雲端到最深沉的愛
我從未像現在一樣瘋狂著迷

畫出我的愛吧!
妳應該把我的愛畫出來
那會是一幅千百個日落的圖畫
也會是成千上萬的自由之鴿
寶貝,畫出我的愛吧!

走遍世界,終於讓我遇見了妳,女孩
就像回到家鄉,回到我熟悉的地方

自從妳走進我的生命
過往的歲月都褪成了黑白
自從妳走進我的生命
一切都改變了.......

Girls

7 Sisters Meeting dinner
Time : 970707
At TOKYO88 TEA ROOM 衣蝶南西路2F (現新光三越)

今天和我的大學姊妹們聚會,好久不見,大家還是都沒有變。雖然只有三個月,歡迎吳盈歸國,也恭喜吳盈和雅琪要結婚囉! 希望我都喝的到喜酒ㄋㄟ..呵呵,可是也希望我申請到學校,真是的! 好矛盾喔...怎麼大家橋的時間都這麼不巧咧 > <

這是ㄧ些我們點的餐點,費用大多300上下,還OK吃! 比較特別的是中間那個碗,不是湯、也不是粥,可是"咖啡"來著,聽說現在很多人來這招哩,呵,可見我太久沒在外面混了。


雅琪送給吳盈ㄧ個新婚禮物,除了親手做的餅乾,還有非常勁爆的,點進去可以放大看,聽說有期限的喔! 天啊!!!! 呵呵... 今天聽了好多超級爆笑又有點限制級的故事,害我聽著聽著....都笑到臉紅了,臉的肌肉也好痠喔,怎麼這麼久了我都還沒習慣呢,ㄎㄎ....



女生照相都怕臉大,哈哈! 再怎麼躲,我還有這招啊!! 側臉攻勢!! 嘿嘿....


雅琪利害,用手和手機,正臉也不怕!!


又是開心的一天,雖然大家讀書的讀書,工作的工作,結婚的結婚,但聚在一起時,又讓我回想起大學的時光,大家似乎還是都這麼可愛。 希望未來10年後,20年後,大家仍是一樣青春美麗,然後多幾個寶寶來,你聊我聊,聊不完,你儂我儂,歷久一樣濃喔!
