我的快樂 會回來的

Start writing a magazine

I have started writing a magazine called Fairy Tale. Althought I know that it will never be published in the formal publishing house, I write it with all my heart because truly I don't care what other people think about my writing anymore. I write what I like and if they are accurate information, then I will write them no matter what other people think.

For the first edition of Fairy Tale, I have done the review for the new movie, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. I have also included a Fashion Fit For a Princess column. This part has some pictures that I have taken back from Cambridge township. Their cloth shop sends out free flyers that gave me some clothing ideas. I will also put in some of my original clothing designs in the future editions. I have hand drawn these pictures, and will later colour them in to make the page more interesting. The last part that I did tonight is To Do List for 2005.

Maybe I should include a puzzle, or a crossword of some description for the amusement of myself. Generally speaking my holiday has gone well. I have been to New Plymouth with my family. The weather, was fortunately good for this occasion. I have been to the movies with FUzzyslowmo, my dear sister, and my friend Purple skirt and her younger brother, the famous flute player. I have enjoyed OCEAN'S 12 with them. Happy feeling all round in spite of the the rainy season that never goes away.

Dad has been talking about wasting money buying the presents for our friends in Christmas and the consequence of certain credit card getting bounced. If he has noticed, nearly half the world buy Christmas presents to one another instead of sulking and brooding in the holiday season. Please have some compasion for your daughters. It's bad enough that he does not give us presents, now he is going to prevent us giving our friends small presents as well. I have worked hard this year and getting a free Masters degree has helped out our family financially. However, he doesn't seen to be satisfy with the whole thing and keep asking us to save more money. If he is still fuming tomorrow then I might consider staying in my room whole day. This is peachful protest. I have also washed the lunch dishes and helped out in the garden. What does he want? I am trying my best to study and make small amount of money so that the family can depend on my meagre income. Anyway, he seems to see this situation and start to come around. Why does he love money so much? He seems to be too stingy to love his daughters and wife, who are always standing by him. We are the other members of the family. If he doesn't have us, or have any other kind of daughters or wife, then he may discover that his life does not run as smoothly as now. He may discover that his wife will squander away his fortune and his daughters will live far away and use up all his money!!!!!

Anyway, I will stop hunt down my dear father because he will not change. He is ok. He is not so hopeless because afterall, he saw that compromise may be the last thing that can keep this family intact. He knows that making a truce with us is important for the harmony of our family. And I am happy that he knows that, and I love him for chaning for us.
