How did my parents meet?

30 years ago. How did my parents meet?
In Taipei, my mom, who was an 18-year-old young girl, was a worker in a factory. My dad, 5 years older than my mom, was a salesperson in the same company. That was how they met. When Mom first saw dad, she thought he is an honest and kind person, but she was not interested in him then. My dad fell in love with mom at first sight. My mom was a naïve and hard-working girl, maybe that’s why my dad liked her. The next day, my dad started to pursue my mom. After my dad’s pursuit, they started to go on a date 2 weeks later. My mom was really an unsophisticated girl. After all, she was only 18 years old.
During their dating days, they were just like other young couples. Sometimes they went for a ride on the motorcycle. They liked watching movies so much that they went to see a movie every two weeks. They watched so many movies in the theater, such as Superman, 007 and King Kong. They seemed very happy then.
After one year, my grandpa thought it was time for my parents to get married, so my dad asked mom to marry him. Of course, she said yes. My mom was the 4th girlfriend of dad but my dad was my mom’s first boyfriend. I think it’s pretty unbelievable that my mom would marry to the first boyfriend she had. I asked her why she would get married at the age of 19 and with her first boyfriend. She said one of the reasons was that her family was poor. Her parents had to work so hard to raise five daughters. If she got married earlier, my grandparents wouldn’t need to bear so many burdens. They got married and had the first baby the next year. That’s my sister. And the rest is history……

I want to remember my happy experience with my friends in junior high school, so I collected some photos and put them together. This work is full of my sweet memories and it will always remind me of our precious friendship.

My life map
Posted by: shen03 on: June 15, 2009
My life map includes my past, now and future. There are not many words in my life map because I believe that pictures can tell everything. You can see what event happened to me when I was little. Of course, you can also know my expectation: meeting lots of friends from different countries, traveling around the world and so on.
My picture story
Posted by: shen03 on: May 26, 2009
In Taipei, night never ends. Even it is a little late, many people still walk on the street. The lights of the buildings seem that they would shine all night. The crowd on the street makes this place look energetic. The neon lights bring us a colorful city. The night in Taipei city is always full of vitality.
I went there during the winter vacation. I was attracted by the beautiful scenery, so I took some pictures and want to share them with you. Now, let me introduce you some pictures I took in Xinyi shopping district.
In the first picture, there are many red lanterns hanging on the walls and the trees. You still can see something traditional in this modern area. Everyone who comes here is reminded of the traditions. Come here, you can find the different faces of the Chinese new year.
In the second picture, people are waiting for the traffic lights. The neon lamps light the dark sky and the lights stun my eyes. The commercial ads occupy the walls of the buildings. They also make this place more varied. I like just sitting there and watching people passing by because it is interesting to see what people are doing. It makes me feel relaxed and time seems to pass slowly.
In the last picture, you can see the tallest building in Taipei-Taipei 101. It is a landmark of Taipei. Lots of foreigners know Taiwan because of the skyscraper. In the day, maybe you don’t think it‘s such a beautiful building, but you may change your mind at night. The blue lights prettify the building, which makes Taipei 101 spark in the dark. It is beautiful, isn’t it?
Xinyi Shopping District is a cool place in Taipei. It always changes with time. If you want to spend all day to experience its beauty, it is a good choice for you.
Jenny’s autobiography
Posted by: shen03 on: May 11, 2009
Everyone has his or her own story, and this article is all about me.
There was a girl who was given birth on November 27th, 1992. That girl is me! I was born in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. I still live in the same place where I was born. I grow up in a family which is full of happiness and love. There are four people in my family: my mom, dad, one older sister and me. The person who spends most of time at home is my mom. She always takes good care of my family. My dad works so hard in order to support my family. They are really industrious. I have a sister, who is twelve years older than me. Although we have big age gap, we still have lots of things to talk about. My parents always take good care of me, so I think I become a little too dependent on them. I love my family, and this is the family I grow up with.
In front of the people that I am not very familiar with, I become a shy and quiet person, so I don’t have lots of friends. If you are a good friend of mine, I turn into a kind, even a funny and crazy person. I love watching movies and TV, but I am not a couch potato. I also like traveling and doing some outdoor activities. I am a student, so going to school is what I have to do. In school, we can learn so many things beside knowledge. I stay in school more than 8 hours a day, so school is just like my second home.
For me,”school”have a broader image. They could be any places. I like learning things from different ways. For example, we can learn knowledge from TV, newspapers or the Internet. Technology develops really quickly now. I can get so much information about other countries immediately. That’s beyond school can offer. It’s very interesting to learn not only from books. We can broaden our horizons in these ways.
Human beings are social animals. No one can live alone. There are so many people in our lives: family, teachers, friends, enemies and so on. Except for family, friends also play an important part in our lives. Everyone needs friends because they can help you when you are in trouble. Also, they can listen to you, laugh with you and cry with you. I don’t have lots of friends, but I have some friends who care about me. When I am sick, depressed or sad, they stay with me and help me go through it. We can count on each other. Nothing can separate us. That’s what friends are for. I am happy that I can have such good friends like them.
No one knows what will happen in the future, but we can set up a goal and try to achieve it. I want to be a traveler, holding a camera and taking pictures everything I see, everyone I meet. Traveling around the world is a dream I always dream. To achieve this, I have to learn foreign languages well and earn enough money for the trips. I will try my best to make my dream come true.
I am not a special girl, but this story is my story.
