My B-Day!

My B-day finally comes in the end of this year. Time flies so fast that I'm 27 now and cannot believe that I'm actually 27 already. Somehow, I just feel I'm not mature enough to be the age of 27. But, I do really enjoy my B-day this year with my family. Thank you so much for all the friends and family that you take care of me until now.
Wish I'm not getting old. Wish I could be a better daughter when I'm home with my parents. Wish I could be a better wife and mommy. Wish I could be a better friend. Lots of wish.....:p
But, I really don't want to be older and older..........Time, please stop for a while.........

Summer is almost end

I was busy to pack all the things for going back to Taiwan. At the same time, Mai and Haru were busy for playing and enjoying the summer in Japan. I wish I could just sit down for a while and not worry about the stuff that I need to bring back to Taiwan.

當我忙的不可開交的準備行李回台灣時,兩個小傢伙也同時玩的超盡興的. 真希望我也能坐下來休息一會而,好好享受一下在日本的夏天. 等我們回來後,日本又會是冷冷的冬天了.

Wish

It's always good to take a nap with kids together. I used to make Mai to have a nap every afternoon. However, she stops taking a nap in this year. Now, she wakes up early in the morning around 7 or 7:45 am and she will stay up until 8:00 pm. Sometimes, she will take a small nap with Haru. However, it will be so hard for us to put her bed again during the night.
As Haru, he still take about two to three naps a day. When he takes a nap, Mai and I will read books, play disney house website, or watching DVD together. Most of the time, we will rush to grocery store and get some food for lunch and dinner. Since I ride a bike to shop for groceries, it's much easier to take one child with me.
Anyway, I just wana say that I miss taking a nap with both of them together. They are so cute whenever they lie down together to play..........:p

能和孩子們一起睡午覺真的是超幸福的. 因為我終於可以從忙碌的一大早到下午,稍稍休息喘口氣一下. 可惜的是, Mai今年開始不太有睡午覺的習慣了.
Haru還是維持一天小睡2~3次的習慣. 他是屬於早睡早醒型的baby. 晚上大概7~8點前一定會睡著,然後一覺到天亮6~7點.
Anyway, 當我看到他們躺在一起玩的時候, 我真的覺得他們很可愛. 如果他們可以玩一玩後,又一起睡著那真的是太完美了.
現在我常希望有個神燈讓我許一個願望就好,我不要很多的錢,不要房子,我只希望有時間讓我好好睡一場好覺或是有一個下午什麼都不做,就躺在床上就好. 真是奢侈的願望..........:p
Hiro常跟我說我們很好命,當我們40歲出頭,孩子們都快19~20了,那時他們都求學去,會不常在我們身邊了,我們的時間將會多到用不完. 想想Hiro的話真是沒錯,我們熬到40歲就輕鬆了,往後還有大半的人生能讓我們揮霍,想來就覺得現在的辛苦沒關悉了. 我那個時候應該會超想念有孩子們在身邊圍繞的日子吧!
人........大概就是這樣子矛盾........:p

Charity is the pure love of Christ

I cry........and you? (Update from Yahoo News)

虐兒致死稱遭擄 父母吃官司
更新日期:2008/04/04 04:32 李文輝桃園報導
被告卅歲黃姓工人，去年五月三日晚間九點卅分左右，酒後與同住的十七歲表弟返家，發現老婆沒做晚飯大發雷霆，差五天才滿三個月的兒子受驚過度，哭鬧不止，惹得黃父先用手打兒子的手、腳，接著用冰凍保特瓶猛砸嬰兒左腦，造成顱內八公分骨折及大量出血而不自知，又將男嬰泡入冷水、再洗熱水澡、雖然孩子奄奄一息又吐奶，仍未送醫，直到當晚十點五十分，終因中樞神經休克死亡，黃父發現時，曾施以ＣＰＲ並用電擊搶救，仍回天乏術。
為掩護罪行，黃某夫妻及表弟三人同行，把嬰屍裝入紙箱，運到龍潭鄉三水村樹林掩埋，夫妻再向警方謊報孩子遭人擄走，經警方發現黃宅有未燒盡的冥紙，突破心防，才起出遺體。
法務部法醫研究所解剖發現，嬰兒死因是頭部遭受外力致外傷性骨折顱內出血，造成中樞神經休克死亡。胸腹體膚嚴重電擊傷痕，無明顯死後變化，應該是死後電擊傷，研究縱使及時送醫，也無法挽回一命。

Both the Apostle Paul and the prophet Mormon taught us about charity and they remind us that “charity is the pure love of Christ”, “Charity never faileth”, and “rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth. Prophet Golden B. Hinckley once told us that charity is not only a helpful gospel principle—it is the gospel and because of it the Atonement was made and everlasting.
I have a strong testimony and feel blessed that God has given us earthly bodies and created this world for us so that we may practice pure love to one another.

Prophet Golden B. Hinckley taught us that “Pure love is the only force that can erase the difference between people and only the charity, pure love will soften our hearts to treat each one of us with generosity and love and respect.

On my graduation in 2004, December, Prophet Golden B. Hinckley came to BYU-H. He not only complimented our efforts on schoolings, and he also encouraged all the graduates to fill with love and carry charity to open new journey. He told us that when we finish our earthly work, a charitable nature will still be the most important trait we take with us. Moroni explained, “Except men shall have charity they cannot inherit that place which thou hast prepared in the mansions of thy Father” (

Ether 12:34).

To practice charity outside of the house is easier than inside the house. I just realized that I made so many mistakes as a parent. I forget to accept and love unconditionally, looking forward with an eye of faith toward what my family members may become. I forget the mission that Heavenly Father has asked me to do that is help my husband and kids to realize their potential. When I am over tired, I forget that “Pure love is patient and suffereth long. I forget to control my temper and possess my own soul in patience. I come to realize that I should regard charity as a daily homework and exercise it day by day.

President Joseph F. Smith counseled us that: “However wayward [children] might be, when you speak or talk to them, do it not in anger, do it not harshly, in a condemning spirit. Speak to them kindly; get them down and weep with them if necessary and get them to shed tears with you if possible. Soften their hearts; get them to feel tenderly toward you. Use no lash and no violence, but … approach them with reason, with persuasion and love unfeigned” (Gospel Doctrine, 5th edition [1939], 316).
“You will observe that the most potent influence over the mind of a child to persuade it to learn, to progress, or to accomplish anything, is the influence of love” (Gospel Doctrine, 294).
Prophet Mormon urges us to “pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart that we may be filled with this love, and we may become the sons of God. We will recognize the Savior fully is to become like Him. Not only our features is the way to recognize our Savior, but also to recognize His spirit (Moro. 7:48).

After reading the news above, I am shocked by the parents' wrong attidute and behavior. An innocent and pure baby was gone, and he didn't even have a chance to grow up and experience this world. I'm not a perfect mommy and I am still learning how to be a "super" mommy. However, I truly know and feel grateful for having my earthly body and came to this earth so that I can have a period of time in learning how to become a better person, a mommy, a wife, a friend, a celestial sister and a loving heavenly parent.

To all the parents:

Love your children! Love your children! Love your children.

Me...Me...Me

不想變老
