Because of isolation,Now I am receiving less and less regard and care from my friends.Except for some wedding invitations.Hehe~~.I remember I became acquainted with Hu and his wife at a marriage also.Both of us are groomsmen at that wedding(He was the best man one,and I was the second,Kind of like alternative).Honestly, I don't think we can become very good friends in my mind.Because there are few common points between us both.I am a sheer person of Shandong province,he comes from Hubei province.And we major in different subjects.We live in different district.We work for different bosses.So I refused to be his groomsman.I said I am elder than you,so it's not fit for me as your groomsman.But actually he and his wife are very kind to me I think.So I decide to attend their wedding although the wedding hotel is far away from my house. After raining for two days,Today is actually a good day to wed.fresh atmosphere and mild weather.At first I wanted to take a lift from Zhang(a common bosom friend of ours and he's why I was acquainted with Hu). Unfortunately,Zhang told me that he will be one of the chief administrators of the wedding ceremony,So he will have to be off very early.''Never mind,there is bus 502'' I replied to him.Bus 502 is a big-station-and-quick-bus vehicle.(´óÕ¾¿ì³µ£¬Anyone know how to translate it correctly?)."Lucky to have it" I thought when I got on the bus.I guess it will spare about one hour for me.Afraid of the sunshine of May,I picked a seat near the rear exit to sit down.Saterday morning, so many people take the bus that the seats are not very adequate.It will take me one and a half hours to approach.Long distance ride made me feel dizzy on the bus.Suddenly I sensed someone is knocking me on the leg slightly.So I opened my eyes and looked up.A strange young girl.She was standing on the passage and holding the rail near my seat."What happened?"I questioned gently.But she didn't answer.And her expression is very solemn.I don't think it's a polite manner to search the action of a! strange young girl."Maybe the bump" So I thought.I closed my eyes and continued my nap.But to be odd,She knocked me on the leg with her knee again and again.I am confused.So I improved my voice "what's the matter?" To be continued~~

An Inspiration
When I worked in the Developing Zone of Huangdao,I'm not alone. There are several college classmates of mine stayed here also.We have the regular reunions in the first few years after graduation.But these latter years most of them found their spouses and built their own happy little families.So some of them slowly kept me at a distance.Last year our company moved into the Hi-Tech Zone of Hongdao,then I set my home in Chengyan District.Except for some colleages and relatives there are few close friends and classmates of me lived in nearby area.And because of laziness or business I didn't get in well touch with the people who are in Huangdao District. So I lost the contacts with most of them step by step. Today I went to the Developing Zone of Huangdao in the rain for an excuse from a doctor in the Second People Hospital of Huangdao.Before my arriving I made an appointment with one of my college classmates who introduced me to that doctor. We met each other for lunch at the Dongbula Restraunt in Northriver Road.How glad to see an old pal of mine! He is as strong as before our graduation.We reminded ourselves of the young time in our college. And we both sighed for the flying of our those shinning days(Now he is a father of a five-months-old baby).But we still tightly hold our beautiful dreams.So we boosted the morale for ourselves each other. Except I only got a two-weeks excuse. from the doctor, I think it's a very meaningful day for me.I really appreciate the inspirations for me In these difficult conditions.I'll remember them and keep them forever.

About writing
Some people think that speaking is more difficult than writing but my opinion is an opposite one. The purpose of speaking is letting other people understand you (being an interpreter is another story) and using broken sentences are excusable in most situation. But writing a good article needs not only abundant vocabulary, but also accurate grammar and a lot of idioms based on diligent reading. I think my written English is quite poor though I seldom meet problems when talking with foreigners. And several time's short visit to other countries has no direct effect on my English writing level. Now I realize that the reason is that I haven't done enough practice on English writing.So I chose "Dioenglish" as a flatform for me to improve my English. Maybe no one is interested about the content of my articles, maybe no one appreciate my style of writing, but I firmly believe that my written English will be improved as long as I write. I will keep on writing, writing whatever I think about.

Recycled Window Frames - Environmentally Friendly Decorating
Window frames can be expensive so try looking for them at the curb. When remodeling, people often throw them out for any scavenger to find. Not only can picking up used window frames save you money, but they are also a great way to be environmentally friendly. Here are some tips on how to transform some people's trash into your country style treasure.
A New Window
Windows let in light and provide great atmosphere to the room. You can knock out part of the wall to put in a large window frame, which will make the room feel more spacious. Putting a mirror on the wall opposite the window will enhance the effect of the window. If you do not have a great view then print a photograph of a beautiful view or a print of your favorite landscape painting and put it in window panes instead of glass. Hang the window frame on the wall at the same height as a window. Then add curtains to complete the effect. You can switch out the picture when you want a change or even change it with the seasons.
An Arty Focal Point
You can use an old window frame to give a room that charming cottage look. Put it in a kitchen dining room, or any other location in your home. Try distressing the frame to make it look old. You can either use crackle paints to give it that antique look or have fun distressing the wood with a chain or any heavy object. Paint the frame to accent your home.
Flowers are beautiful, and by drying them and preserving them behind glass, you can see them all year around. Layer the flowers between two panes of glass. If you, or a family member, is artistically talented, then paint flowers, birds, or butterflies onto the glass. You could also paint flowers or other images on the frame itself, continuing the picture outside of the glass. Make the frame the focal point of the room by setting a table beneath it or hanging candleholders or sconces on both sides. You can also put a shelf beneath the window frame and put accessories on it including herbs and bunches of dried herbs or flowers.
An Organizational Tool Out of an Old Frame
There are so many things to keep track of that you can always use a blackboard for to-do lists and messages. It is fairly easy to turn a window frame into a one-of-a-kind blackboard. All it takes is some blackboard paint. Before you use the blackboard paint, decorate the frame however you want by painting, distressing, staining, decoupaging, or using stencils. After the frame has completely dried, tape the edges to prevent splatter and use the blackboard paint on the panes. Once it has dried, you can remove the tape and hang it up. If you want to add a ledge to hold chalk and other accessories, attach it before painting the frame.
Outside Art in Your Garden
Do not think that your use of window frames is limited to indoors. You can also use them in your garden by turning them into a window box. In order to make a window box, you will have to build a box the same size as your frame and paint them the same. Although you can use white as a clean backdrop, it might be fun to use a brilliant color that complements the flowers you plan on putting in. Remember to drill holes for drainage and use strong enough screws when attaching your box to a fence, porch, or wherever else you decide to put it.
You can also create a sense of depth in your garden or yard by putting hanging a mirrored window frame on a fence or shed the same way it can create depth in a room. If you love to garden you can also put an old window frame to use in your garden shed or garage by attaching hooks to it to hang your gardening tools from.
