Live economically

When I was recently in Europe (Paris, Spain Italy), I was astonished about they are living simply and economically. In Japan, they have details separate recyclable from non-recyclable trash but I feel extravagant wrapping such as boutique. Japan doesn't have paper towel at public restroom for saving resources.　 Europe as well but, most restroom is lights out when I get in restroom because saving energy. They have system for automatically lights on/off! It was really amazing to me because we don't have that system in Japan.

I used to care and think about how to live more economically specially when I was living in San Francisco. For example, I always bring "Eco bag" to the Grocery shopping because they can't use anymore plastic bags at any shop in SF. But now, sometime I don't care because Chicago still can use and gave me a plastic bags. After my Europe trip, I suddenly realized that this is not right! I'll try live economically as much as possible.

" The BIG Surprise "

It was my friend experience with his 19 years old birthday .

My friend birthday that day,all of his friends and his family had a birthday party in the afternoon at his home.

In that day,his friends and i were planning a big surprise for his 19 years old when it was few weeks ago,we found that he likes parrot so much, he knew all about parrot that what they like to eat or what the like to do,although he like parrot so much,but he haven't gotten enough money to buy a parrot,so i decided to but a parrot for his birthday present.

When the birthday party became to the end,we gave him a "big surprise" that when we were singing the birthday song for him,when he saw the parrot,he was very astonishing that he haven't think about that he had a pet is a parrot .

i though the surprise was very successful that we made him very happy

April 1st is April Fools' Day. Actually, that must be a special day. But the whole thing is calm in this day. After dinner, I go back to my room and stay at room until 10'clock. Suddenly, I can hear someone knocking on my wardrobe. I'm very surprised. So I ask for help to my parents. To our surprise , my brother came out from my wardrobe when we open the wardrobe. That is a miracalous happening. My brother told me he just want to give me a surprise. Because today is April Fools' Day. But the surprise was failed in the end.

Suprised My Friend Come to Chicago

A time when I was surprised was my best friend from China who came Chicago to visit me. I never thought she would come here and visit me. At that moment I was excited when I seen her. We have talk a lots of stuff back when we are little kids. Like what we like to play together, eat, how we met. The next thing I want to do with her while she still in Chicago, I went shopping with her, Take her to places and visit. This surprised ended that she have to leave and go back to China. I was very surprised about this beacuse I haven't seen her for a long time. I can't believe she came and visit me. My family and I were involved during this whole surprise. This surprise was very successful to me because I hope that she will come here and visit me someday. My hope came true. That was my surprise.

One day, before 1 weeks my birthday ,they asked me "what do you want to do your birthday?" But I didn't want to anything, I needed to sleep.
After I finished with work on terrible Friday, I went to go home.
I was so surprised when I opened door, there were many firends, beautiful flowers, a lot of balloons on the wall and a birthday cake on the table.
My friends was starting sing a song with a big hug. That's a good surprise to me.
I was happy at my birthday, I could forget my work a little while.

from the middle school. I argued with her. But in Grade 7 to 8,
when we after class, we are sitting around the desk,we're talking and drawing something or writing something on the table cover.So the table cover is our good memory. But after a lot of classmates already throw away the table cover. After the quarrel, in the high school, we have made it up. She show the desk cover to me. I'm so surprised in this.She protected it very well. It's our good memory. So now we're also the best friend . We miss that time when we're in the middle school.Because we have a lot of time to stay together.But now I'm in the USA,she is in the China, I miss her very much.So for a few time we're talking by the Internet. She let me feel so surprising, we are always the best friend.

A Birthday Surprise

I got a surprise on my birthday. Usually, I just have a birthday dinner and birthday cake with my family, a birthday card from my kids, and a few calls from my parents and brothers. I usually don't receive any presents. But this year's birthday, I really got a surprise.
In this year's birthday, just like normal, but before I went to sleep, my husband stood in front of me and said "Happy Birthday" to me, and slowly handed a present to me from his back. I was so surprised, I didn't beleive that was true, and I was wondering how he got that present. I knew he works hard everyday, he wouldn't has time to buy me a present, and he isn't a romantic person, he always says he earn money for me to spend, and he doesn't care how much I spend. It seems I rarely get a present from him. When I tore off the wrafing paper, I saw a beautiful box with mormaid. I wondered what was that when I opened the box, there was a set of lotion and perfume. I was watching my husband and laughing. What's surprise! And he was laughing too. He told me that he told our niece to buy me a present when she went shopping. Our niece thought all women would like perfume, so she bought that for me. I got all the answers, my husband still isn't romantic, his character still does't change. My husband told me I should wear it. I've never wear perfume before, but I promised him I'll wear it someday. I don't want my kids to mess with this surprise present, so I put it on the highest shelf of the closet. After I put it there, it's hardly to see and reach, so I always forget it.I still haven't worn once. I found I'm not a romantic person too. Anyway, that was a big surprise in my life, I won't forget it.

I was very surprise that came Chicago at first time. My wallet got stolen in the airport. I didn't notice for few hours because I arrived Chicago at 11pm. Next morning at 8am I couldn't find my wallet and called the bank. I was very surprise my bank card got used at Target and gas station in midnight. The thief also use my Taiwan's credit card which has different name on it. I didn't understand how the thief used it. I was surprise that the thief did that many things in such short time. Finally, the banks accepted my complaint but I am more paranoid now. From now on, I never put my credit card and Id card in my wallet together.

thinking all day was: WHERE IS MY VALENTINE ?

We went to Navy Pier and took a walk still with many people.While i was

getting angrier and angrier, all of them went to play a big machine which could

go round and round. However, I had to follow them.

Each couple sat a small room.We all went up when the machine

started.While my boyfriend and i were going the highest, he was taking out a

small box from his pocket.At that time, i was surprised with opening my mouth.I
