蠟燭與燈塔

Yesterday my friend EJ and I went to Chihkan Tower and had a little adventure there. In fact, at first, I didn’t really feel like going there, not only because the weather was scorching hot, but also because I had to do some interview with local citizen or clerk. Therefore, I was not willing to go there, for I went there just for finishing my job to write a book for my university. However, when you have a friend, a trip would become interesting and make you become more passionate although you need to finish your mission. The first spot we visited was the famous Chihkan Tower. We asked some questions to the two clerks of the Chihkan Beverage store, which was at the left side of the entrance. They were very friendly and even gave us ice cream for free! After strolling around the Chihkan Tower, we went to Official God of War Temple and Tainan Grand Mazu Temple. The temple staffs weren’t that familiar with our class “exploring Tainan” so that their answers didn't really help. Then we w

Un Mundo Ideal (Versión Créditos) ZAYN & Becky G. Journal: The song is from the movie Aladdin, the American musical fantasy film, which is also a live-action adaptation of Disney's famous animated film. The popular song is sung by Aladdin and Princess Jasmine in the movie, and it expresses their feelings when they ride on the magic carpet. Although the lyrics all describe the fantastic scenery they see from the sky literally, I think it also suggests when people fall in love or bravely pursue what they want, they would see an entirely whole new world. Take me as an example. When I hang around with my best friend, I would feel like we are in a sweet dream since every moment together is happy and interesting. And when I put effort to do what I like to do, for instance, writing, I feel free and enjoy the time although my parents don't think writing articles would be a good choice to live on. However, if one always live in a safe world and wait for others to tell him wha

SOS Avicii Remark: The song is written by Avicii. Although he already passed away, the songs he left still give people power. From this song, we can see the narrator is feeling down and try to escape the reality, yet at the same time, he tries to call for help and believes the love can save him. For those who are depressed, I think it’s really important for us to take care of them, ask them how they feel and accompany them. Letting them know that there is always someone there for them to come to, for them to talk to and hug them, would be their strongest support. Like the lyrics say, “I can feel your love pullin' me up from the underground, and I can feel your touch pickin' me up from the underground.” Love might be the most effective remedy for those who are sad. With the care and love from their families and friends, they might be able to cheer up. However, from time to time, we tend to escape from those who yearn for help because we don’t like they keep complaining or

So Am I Ava Max Remark: In my opinion, this song is quite encouraging and warm since the lyrics try to encourage people to bravely show their unique and tell them not to be afraid of the sight of others. For me, I could understand that mood perfectly, for I am really afraid of others' laughter and being said "weird" or "strange." On one hand, I want to believe that I am special and want to show the world of my talent or my true self. On the other hand, however, it really scares me that people would laugh at me, mock on me and take me as a joke. Whenever I feel others' focus all over me, I become nervous and hope that I would just look like any other, nothing special but just a normal person. However, maybe everyone has his own darkness and no one could ever be the perfect one to fit in society. I think this song would bring courage to those who don’t have much confidence in themselves and those who can’t fit in the mainstream value , as telling them

If I Can't Have You Shawn Mendes Remark: The song, sung by Shawn Mendes, expresses a strong regret and passionate for the lover who has already walked away. Although the lyrics are quite simple, it creates a vivid picture of a man’s situation after he broke up with his girlfriend. He regrets the decision, he keeps on looking at the past, and he honestly talks about his love and attached to her, claims that “If I can't have you, then everything means nothing.” When I listened to this song the first time, it reminds me of my relationship between a quite intimate friend. It’s true that we are not in a romance, yet I’m really jealous whenever she gives others her attention. Thus, I hurt her with unreasonable words to vent my anger and dissatisfied, but afterward I always immediately regret it. I don’t want to be ignored but what I do is just push her away. It’s the worst way to show how I adore her. It’s not a surprise that we don’t talk to each other for a while. Sometimes, the ch

Desde Esa Noche Thalía ft. Maluma Comments: The song, "Desde Esa Noche" is sung by Thalía and Maluma, who now become my favorite Spanish singers. This song means a lot to me since this is the first Spanish pop song I ever heard. I still remember, almost three years ago, when I decided to take Spanish as my second foreign language, I tried to search for something to make me interested in this unfamiliar language. Clearly, I can’t understand those literature or articles so I thought songs might be a good choice. If I fall in love with a beautiful song, I might feel to understand the meaning of its lyrics, and then it could be a fun way to learn. Therefore, I opened the YouTube app, typing keyword like “Spanish pop song”, and one of the results was the Official Video version of this song. Before I clicked it, I had listened to several songs but didn’t feel the beauty of the language, until this song. I loved the song immediately although I could hardly understand a word. From t
