Do Seek Their Meat From God

Few days ago, I read " Do seek their meat from God" by Charles G.D. Roberts.  The story starts with two panthers with their cubs trying to find a food source. The panthers were probably hungry to death so they goes through the forest hoping they could find more food for the cubs. As they approach the crying sound they were getting close and close to a meal. But soon as they approaches the crying sound they sees two human babies but a hunter is there also. The story ends where hunter kills two panthers and due to rippling effect. All of panthers family dies. The theme of the story may indicate that you always need to make a decision as the nature did. As human we can choose pizza or hot dog and boyfriend or girlfriend. So in my personal opinion I think the story is about how we can make decision between things or it can be that nature is cruel. 

Vancouver Writer Festival

                                                           Vancouver Writer Festival
Being able to attend the Vancouver Writer's Festival is a pleasure. Its really a great opportunity where I can learn about others poems and writings at the same age. I always thought of imaging the poem situation and how would I feel. The most memorable poem was the one where title was pa pa. I refer to the scene that I was in China and my grandparents were telling me to do certain things. Also I really enjoyed how detailed they described some place in the poems such as China Town. I was able to paint the picture of China Town inside of my head.

The Ways I Relax

     Relaxation is one of the most ambitious thing people will ever get during daily life. Pure relaxation is even harder due to the environment surrounding us. We may have annoyances and problems but pure relaxation will help us a lot . Whenever I have time to relax myself, I usually listen music, mediate over a period of fifteen minutes ,and feed myself. You may have others ways of relaxing yourself but personally I believe the three methods I have is the best way for me to get to a "zone" of pure relaxation.
     After a long day of class and work, I may find myself into exhaustion where I no longer want to work or sleep. I keep thinking about what happened during work then  its time for me to listen to music. Having a slowly played song is really helpful when I can;t falling into sleep. I find myself singing during the process of me listening the music,the slow beat and lyrics really help me getting into a satisfying mood after so much happened during the day time. Sometimes it is also good if I am lying on bed while listening music because it will get me even more relaxed. Having a fast beat song like rap is just not my style to relax because I can not lay and feel peaceful while curse language is used. It will sometimes turning me more frustrating due to how those bad words runs straight into my mind and drain my thoughts . But a peaceful music will be well because the joy and mood I get is so well. After listening a excellent choices of songs I won;t even notice or have any pressure of my stressful day.
     Meditation is also a great way for me to relax myself.  Mediation have helped me so much joining the summer and now. I have became much more focused, peaceful and attentive to whats happening around me after mediating joining the summer break. Meditation is so simply  but it have so much benefits. Meditation is also easy to execute, firstly I usually grab something soft to sit on and sit for 10 seconds then start meditation. I usually really count my breath while meditating, and its really important to clear my thoughts process joining my meditation. Its really hard to meditate fifteen minutes, so I started with like two minutes then gradually I moved up till fifteen minutes.
     Feeding myself is also another great way for me to relax myself, I certainly feel so comfortable after getting huge amount of food in after having  pressure. I know its not good for my health but I will do it anyways because I absolutely enjoy it and can;t stop doing it because how easy and effective it is to get rid of "the weight on my back".
     In conclusion, I think it is not hard to find best fit ways for me to relax but it is the time I have to relax. Me living in a developed society where I  don;t have a lot time. It is really hard for me to even split a hour to relax so lastly and most importantly of all is getting enough time for relaxing or any method will not work.
