Weekend post-Popular culture

There are several cultures in this world. And the culture I wanna talk about this time is my culture-Chinese.
Chinese culture was found about 5000 years ago, and it was one of the most historical culture in the world. There are several dynasties in chinese history, although they don't have it now. The first one is Xia, and the last one is Qing. Qing was ended on 1911, and therefore the emperor system in China ended.
There are so many languagve in China, except for Mandarin and Cantonese. Those are only the two most popular language. There are so many native languages in China, that we don't even know  how many are there. Also the language we read are divided into simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Most of the places in China uses Simplified Chinese, except fro Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. In Macau and Hong Kong they speak Cantonese and read Traditional Chinese, but in Taiwan they speak Mandarin and read simplified Chinese. In mainland China they read simplified Chinese and speak Mandarin.
The traditional religion in China was Buddhist. Buddhist was found in India, and later their culture ran into China and China was deeply impacted by this religion.
The foods they eat was not what we really see now in America and other places. There are more than 50 groups of Chinese people in China, and each group had different culture, thus different foods. So we don't even know how many kinds of Chinese foods are there.
Chhina became a communism country in 1949, and it is still a communism country right now. It has two special administrative region, which is Hong Kong and  Macau. They were colonies of British and Portuguese before, Hong Kong handover to China on July 1, 1997; and Macau handover to China on December 20, 1999.

News and Media

As I said before, News and media is a important element in our life because we need to get information from it. This time I will talk more about my goal-to be a journalists.
I don't know if I am gonna be a reporter which write on the news papers, or those that are talking on tv; but I wanna do journalistic because I can be able to get information in a easier way.
Also journalist have to be able to classify and figure out things very carefully and  and clearly. That's a good thing because there are so many things in life that we better be clear on, so these kind of ability was useful no matter when.

weekend

this weekend I went to Chinatown because i wanna but something. But later I went to broadway and I bought a pair of new sneakers, That's a pair of converse. I really like that color, which was a bright blue, and that looks madddd nice.
Actually for the whole vacation I am doing homework and homework. I don't know why teachers like to give homework too much. I don't mean to have no homework, but what they gave are just too much. We need our private time and we cannot do homework without any rest.
I wanna post a news about tiger woods.
.............................
There is no way of knowing how much of this was real and honest from Tiger Woods because there never is with celebrities in trouble, who will say anything, tell any lie, to get themselves out of trouble.
You don't automatically believe Woods just because he says he's sorry. John Edwards probably is too.
There was no way of knowing which words came from Woods, which came from his handlers, which from his therapists. No way of knowing how much he is looking to save himself and his marriage and how much he is looking to save his good name and his brand.
Woods came across Friday as a man who really had just come from 45 days of therapy and was on his way right back. Whether this was his intent or not, Woods came across clearly as a troubled man, one with profound problems - and perhaps addictions - beyond all the women in his life.
Mostly, Tiger Woods sounded, and looked, like a man desperate not to be the world's punch-line any longer, no matter how much he wanted this to be about truth and beauty and values and decency and even Buddhism. At least with that, he was completely honest and sincere. Unless he was lying to himself and the world Friday, even he can't like the slob he became.
Of course this was a day when he should have held a sign offering cash prizes if we'd just like him again, if we'd just buy everything he was selling.
Early on, though, he told an ugly truth about himself and all other celebrities who only act remorseful about being slobs once they get busted. In that moment, Woods sounded the way you want them all to sound, from Spitzer to Edwards to Clemens and A-Rod and McGwire.
"I convinced myself that normal rules didn't apply," Woods said. "I never thought who I was hurting. Instead I thought only about myself. I ran straight through boundaries that married couples live by. I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to. I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to simply enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I didn't have to go far to find them."
That was the best of it from Woods, wherever it came from, on this day when he began to fight, in the most public way in sports history, to get his good name back.
It was better than all the apologies, better than all this staged theatrics, right until the hug-fest at the very end. It was even better than his emotional defense of his wife, Elin, as he challenged the suggestion that she had attacked him on Thanksgiving night when she found out about the first of the women in the conga line.

WASHINGTON - Four allied troops were killed Thursday in the U.S.-led assault on Marja and a NATO general warned of a tough fight ahead to gain full control of the Taliban stronghold in southern Afghanistan.
A Pentagon spokesman said the U.S. was "pleased with the rate of progress" in Marja, but British Maj. Gen. Nick Carter said, "I would be very cautious about any triumphalism just yet."
Two British troops were killed and two other allied troops whose nationalities were not immediately disclosed also died in the deadliest day for the allies in the six-day Marja offensive.
In Pakistan, two more Taliban commanders were arrested in Karachi as Pakistani and U.S. officials in Islamabad hailed the capture earlier this month of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban's No. 2 guy.
"It's a tremendous event," visiting U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke said of the Baradar arrest. "It's a real achievement for Pakistani intelligence with American collaboration."

Teen Issues.

So many older people said that the teens of now are trouble makers. Although we knew it's not that true, but it's partly true.

the news above was about a fight in a hs. the students were fighting in a basketball court, and the fighting was going bigger and bigger after a while. finally the police came. the problem is the cops use a taser to calm it down, so everybody said they are too nervous, that the taser is not needed.

sometimes i think the adults are too serious when we do something wrong; that's not only our problem. in this case, the cops' power were over-used, that although it's not right to fight, it's not right to use a taser in this kind of situation neither. So the best solution is we do what we suppose to do, and adults relax their nerves.
