My father’s Endless and Self-giving Love for His Daughter

Monday, September 20th, 2010

Here, I really would love to share with you a story about a purse.

It happened fifteen years ago when I was about to go to college. My Dad had promised to present me something I like if I could be qualified for the admission into one of the universities in the Ivy League. Fortunately, I really made it. Just before the high school prom, I ran across a very beautiful Dior purse.

It is mainly black mixed with golden edges. It is made of canvas with leather trim. It is in an elegant shape decorated with antique silver stone hardware. With a closer look at it, I found its exquisite leather and fabric lining which attract me the most. It also has a bifold rear with two slit pockets and two card slots. It has two expanding compartments at the front with two buckles. I was totally like a fool staring at it. Then, I was told that it is a classic Christian Dior design with limited editions. This means I would probably miss a chance to get it if I did not buy it immediately. I became very excited and upset at the same time.

Rushing home, I told my Dad about it. To my disappointment, he told me he would have a business trip in the following days. I had been anxious through his business trip. I was happy to know that he will buy it for me when he finally got home. Unexpectedly, he was still kept tied up with his business and even could not come home for dinner sometimes. But he always told me he would try his best. It had been half a month since the first day when I saw the Dior purse. At last, my Dad brought me to the store where I found it after he finished his work at hand. To my total disappointment, the Dior purse in an antique design was gone forever. Instead, my father wanted to buy another one to make up for me. But I refused him in a fury. I began to hate him because he did not live up to his words.

Now as a mother of two sons, I truly understand how difficult it could be for a father or mother to raise their kids. I am now often tied up by my work either just like my father used to be. Meanwhile, my kids always put pressure on me by asking me to buy them some wonderful toys. Even though I do give them some toys, they would still feel disappointed.

Although I still feel sorry for missing that unique Dior purse, I will always remember my father’s endless and self-giving love for his daughter.

The Styles of Wedding Dresses

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

When it comes to wedding, there are lots of work to do and all couples want to make every step perfect. Vows, rings, wedding dresses, they make hundreds of comparisons, trying to pick out the best of the best. It may be easy to choose vows and rings, but it is never easy for brides to choose a wedding dress, which obviously, for once in her life, will double her unique beauty and help her print the best day of her life into everyone’s mind including her own. So how to choose a beautiful wedding dress that is acceptable both psychologically and physically? Well, this article might try to give some descriptions about different wedding dresses and suggestions on how to choose a suitable one according to your own body shape.

1. A-line Princess Dress

This dress features layers of gauze and a puff skirt, making the bride much more vivacious without losing her feminine cuteness. It is suitable for many kinds of bodily forms, especially the petite builds. For those brides who are short and attractively thin, choosing high-waist designs will slenderize their bicrural figures. For those who have plump breasts, V-necks or deeper necklines can help to make their necks longer and slimmer.

2. Traditional Ball Gown

Accurate fitness to the upper part of the body, tightening waist and a full dress are features of this kind. The belt course could be just at the waist or a little bit lower, or even lower to the hip. This wedding dress is usually equipped with a petticoat which is used to finalize the design. To wear this kind of dress, brides should be hourglass-shaped in builds or physically plump, or those with plump breasts. It will be better-looking if choosing the long-sleeve style or a V-shaped belt course.

3. Sheath

The dress is intentionally cut to fit the bride’s figure. It is well-designed for ladies whose figures are in a fair proportion. Moreover, it aims at demonstraiting the female curves and the beauty of conciseness. No matter when and where, it is both stylish and acceptable on all wedding occasions. Brides with beautiful builds and curves should really try on this.

4. Mermaid Trumpet

The only difference between mermaid trumpet and sheath lies in the bottom of the dress. Cloth below the knees or shanks is made like a fish tail, spreading outside like an "A". It is the sexiest design ever, and the most stunning creation. But it demands a lot on the figure. In other words, to wear this dress or not, the female curves have the final say, not the stature.

5. Empire Waist

A high belt course is the most remarkable feature of this dress. Fitness in the breasts would fully reveal the curves of shoulders and breasts. A-shaped bottom of the dress helps cover the waist and the hip. This design is generally welcomed by short brides with plump waists and hips, or those mothers-to-be who just want to have loosen dresses.

6. Train

As the name suggests, the bottom of this wedding dress must be dragging on the floor just like a long train. The train should be measured from the place where the cloth first touches the ground. A train within 40cm are small, during 40cm to 80cm is mediate, over 80cm is large. Train style is usually adopted in church wedding, where the wedding goes more traditionally, formally and sacredly.

7. Mini Skirt

The dress should be above the knees. It could be a tight mini skirt or a broom one. For ladies who have slender legs and for brides who are following the fashion tide, it is always the first choice.

8. Knee-length

The cloth extends just over the knees, which is quite simple and convenient. Suitable for long-legged brides and party wedding.

9. Tea-length

The bottom of the dress extends to the middle of the shanks, which is usually seen during the mini tea party. It is the right choice for petite females and always the suitable wearing when interacting with others in a wedding party.

10. Ankle-length

This is a long dress style and the bottom extends to the ankles. Yet the edge is an inch above the ground. The bottom is either tight on skin or shaped like an "A" with a little hem. Because the design makes walking more comfortable, it is quite suitable for brides to wear during an outdoor wedding. And don’t forget to put on those exquisite wedding shoes, they will help attract more attentions for their owners!

11. Hi-Lo

The most special feature of the kind is the length of the dress bottom. High from the front, and low from the behind. Specifically speaking, it allows the wearer to show her feet, even her knees from the front, and drag the train behind. This dress is suitable for long-legged brides and fashionable ones.

The way to protect your cell phone

Monday, September 13th, 2010

Fortunately, my cell phone wasn’t stolen. But I know many friends around me have ever been stolen. They were always going shopping or taking a bus when their mobile phones were stolen. Once, I accompanied with my sister to take boring bus. Her mobile phone was in her handbag. She didn’t know that her mobile phone was stolen until she checked her handbag. She was not happy all the time because of her stolen cell phone. At last, we ended our shopping journey.

With mobile phone becoming more beautiful, and more expensive, there are some wicked persons in the world. Moreover, many thieves steal your wireless service for stealing your identity and your data. So it is time for you to know how to protect your cell phone so that you can find its way back to you or at least. There are some tips I can share with you.

Firstly, you should take a mark of your mobiles information and keep it in a safe place. Secondly, you can also print your post code or other special number onto both your mobile handset and battery. I think it is useful to identify if you once lost your mobile phone. Thirdly, you should use the security lock code, or PIN feature, to lock your phone so that it is less valuable to a thief and deny them access to personal numbers stored on your SIM card. You’d better register your phone with your network operator. If your phone is stolen, report the loss to them soon. However, what to do if your mobile phone is stolen? I think the first thought should not be how are you going to get it back but how can you prevent anyone else from using it.

Last but not least, Keep in mind the possibility that you simply have misplaced your mobiles and that the person who has it intends to return it to you. Please be polite to all circumstances, even if you suspect theft.

Forth, don’t put it often in the pocket near abdomen and waist. It maybe reduces the possibility of having a baby. You’d better put it in the bag. Fifth, put it aside when you don’t need it. For example, you can put it on the table when you go to work in the office.

The Predestined Love of Cell Phone

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Last winter, when I was busy preparing my examinations, my cell phone brought me a predestined love. If love is a fate, I thank fate.

I used to study in the classroom 336 at back row in the left corner of the classroom. I studied like a horse and did not pay heed to the guy who sat just at my right hand all the time until one day…

It was a snowy day. When I entered into the classroom, he was already in. He gazed into my face with his shining eyes and there was an intangible smile floating on his handsome face. I sat down with my eyes dropped. We shared the same conjoined desk piling our books and stuffs dispersedly on the desk. I put my cell phone on the desk optionally and buried myself in the book sea. After three hours study in the evening, my mind was spinning. What I was dying for is to have a deep breath of the fresh air outside the classroom. I dug out my cell phone from the book sea in a hurry and dashed out of the classroom. He was still fighting bravely in the book sea.

When I was in my dorm, there was a strange cell phone ringer singing. My dorm-mates and I gazed at each other in a speechless despair and did not know where the awful sound from. Suddenly, I realized that the funny noise was from my bag, I rummaged my bag and found “my” cell phone, it was singing merrily at that moment. I answered it, a bashful sound came into my ear: “Excuse me, sorry to bother you, but I am afraid we had taken our cell phones by mistake.” When I heard of this, I stared at the cell phone in my hand and became speechless. The next day, I corrected my stupid mistake and we had dinner together for the first time. Then, after our exams, we began to date.

When I recalled the past, I was a little confused. Why I can take the cell phone by mistake? He told me that when he found I was using this kind of cell phone, he brought the same one. When he said this to me, I found a complacent and mysterious smile blooming on his face…
