The Base Stealer/American Hero - Quickwrite (pg. 551)

I'm a table-tennis player. The game is coming to an end, and we have a tie. A tie-breaker is what we need. One last game, and we will know who is the champion.
It's my turn to serve the ball. The tiny ball feels shapeless and weightless in my left hand. My hands are almost trembling, but I steady them. I aim at the other corner and hit the ball. Suddenly everything is sped up and my eyes can't catch all of them. I'm going to rely on my ears and arms and legs, but not my eyes or brain. The ball comes, I hit it at the right angle without thinking.

Folding Won Tons In - Quickwrite (pg. 508)

When I started learning to play guitar in Taichung: morning, walking or biking, acoustic guitar in guitar bag, picks, fingers, strings, glass door, paper, ink, piano, violin, chair, tuition every month, pain, short/long finger nails, strength, practice, songs, music, chords and notes,

Country Scene - Make the Connection (pg. 500)

My life and everyone around me will eventually fade away. My posessions are even sooner, because some of them would break or be missing. Some people say when a person gets really old, he/she has nothing left except memories, so, memories would be the last thing with me. The work I've done in my life would be forgotten, unless it's something that appears in books, but that's very hard to get. My name would be forgotten, too.
"Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky," from Dust in the Wind, is very precise, except that this is from the human's point of view. Who knows when wouldn't the earth explode and break down? That sounds very depressing, for nothing seems to last forever.

Haiku - Quickwrite (pg. 494)

The notes were right beside my ears, almost ponding my ears, for I wore earphones. The music is not too loud, but loud enough to create a world separated from the others around me. Notes of different pitches bind to each other in harmony; none of them could be missing. The beats seemed to penetrate my ears and ponded my heart. I couldn't move. I became a hollow body that was filled with nothing but the flowing music. When I finally came to my senses, I found my eyes

A Blessing - Quickwrite (pg. 480)

A butterfly flaps its wings and rises up from the leaf. Its feathery wings are slow and elegant, as though the air helps the butterfly to fly, not itself. The wings are of wonderful, vivid colors that stand out from the rest of the scene. Red, yellow, white, and black, all join together in harmony. Its tiny, black body looks dimmer compare to its wings. Though, if you look closely, its antennae tremble slightly, and its long and thin legs clutched together at its chest. When it finally finds a place to relax, its legs stretch out to grab the leaf and with a few swings, it steadies itself. Its wings are closed up.

I Am a Rock - Writing

While listening to the song "I Am a Rock", I see a person who hides away from other people. The person had supposedly been hurt from his past relationships from friendship and love. He pretends to be a rock and an island, which symbolizes him being isolated and self-protecting. He tries to live in his own world.

One of my favorite songs is "Can You Forgive Her" by Pet Shop Boys. The song shows me strong imageries of a person struggling within himself. It also provides a dream-like atmosphere, since the story happens at midnight. I can see how the narrator of the song have a hard time being with his girlfriend. And how the girlfriend is being mean to him. Also, images are given about how the narrator met his first love.
