With the recent new of global warning, and the statements that the polar bear is the first animal to become endangered because of global warming many people are wondering how many polar bears are there? That is a question that the answer is still being researched.
How many polar bears are there?
No one really knows how many polar bears there are because they are hard to count, and at times hard to find. Researches estimate that there are between 22 000 and 40 000 polar bears in the world. Close to half of the polar bear population lives in Canada.
Where else to polar bears live? With majority of the polar bear population living in northern Canada, then where does the rest of the population of polar bears live? Most polar bears inhabit the Arctic and around the North Pole (not including polar bears that are captive). The countries that encompass the Arctic include Canada, Russia, Norway, Denmark (Greenland) and Alaska (United States).
Polar bears thrive in these Arctic conditions because this is where their food sources are, and their bodies are made to handle the harsh Arctic conditions, even the winter one. Polar bears spend a great deal of their time in the Arctic Ocean hunting and searching for food.
Polar Bears are found throughout the arctic region, often covering hundreds of miles in their range. They have heavy white fur which camouflage them against the white landscape in which they live in.
In the winter months they walk on the ice and look for seals and in the summer months they wait on the shore for them. Polar bears know how to use the climate and the land conditions to their benefit when hunting for seals. They will walk on an ice floe (a sheet of floating ice) and look for hole or cracks in the ice.
Since seals have to breathe at some time they wait there for a seal to come up for breath. There are also other areas of the Arctic Ocean that do not freeze, polynyas, these are also great areas for the polar bear to find its favorite food, seals.
Temperatures in the Arctic The temperatures that the polar bears have to endure in the winter can range from -40°F (-40°C) to as cold as -90°F (-90°C). The summer months can be much warmer for the polar bears with temperatures reaching to 77°F (25°C).
Polar bears have to be able to handle 100° difference in temperature between the seasons. Polar bear habitat, polar bear description affects of global warming and climate change on the polar bear.
How they look?
Despite their size, they are extremely fast runners and wide-ranging travellers. They are also expert swimmers, with their thick layer of fur and fat insulating them against the extreme cold of their climate. They have hairy soles on their broad feet to protect them and insulate them from the cold, as well as help them move across the snow swiftly.
Their diet consists of fish, seal, caribou, birds, seaweed, grass and an occasional whale which strayed too far from its course. Polar Bears are usually shy but they are known to be dangerous when attacked or confronted. They give birth to one to four cubs at a time in the winter and the cubs stay with their mother for up to three years.Polar Bears are endangered due to the man's excessive hunting for their priceless hide, tendons, meat, fat and flesh.
Their numbers dwindled from several hundred thousands to a few hundred in a few years time. In efforts to protect Polar Bears, an international agreement was set up in 1973 whereby only traditional weapons were allowed to be used in the hunting of the Polar Bears.
This posting happen just because i really fond to bears, one of kind bears i fond is Polar Bears, as i know global warming today merely feel near. I can feel how different the weather in my country specially in Jakarta (my city). I always think how Polar Bears will do later, how they will live later and how they survive to keep their descentor. Even today, i just heard that US government had protect them because they are endangared not only because of the global warming, but also because of the hunter who haunted them year by year to take their fur. How could that happen human take fur from animal just to make clothes, shoes and bags .... Oh God ..., is really sadden.

This song is for someone who called me an angel. As i know an angel has two wings over her / his back, but me ... i do not have, even one. But as i realize that an angel not always has wings. I found the right song for this post 'In The Arms Of The Angel by Sarah Mclachlan', this is a soundtrack from an old movie was aired in 1998 'City of Angels' which stared by Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan. The movie is talked about love in 2 worlds 'Real' and 'Not Real'. Real where they meet in world as human and Not Real when they (Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan) know for sure that they cant be together. At least Nicholas Cage ask to be a human but at the end Meg Ryan hit by car and die, too sad when her love already become real but herself die. This time her turn to guard her love as an angel.

But this strong want haunted over the years and years Again, the whispered in heart ‘Dont ...’

Sweet story to read and sweet song to hear while you are reading this story. This song is sung by Sting 'Shape Of My Heart'. What i love from the love is the process, no need many words say 'I love you' but need much shows and cares when you love someone. It reflects your heart shape and confirms you are there for her / him.
From the very Begining, the girl's family objected strongly on her dating this guy. Saying that it has got to do with family background & that the girl will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him. Due to family's pressure, the couple quarrel very often. Though the girl love the guy deeply, but she always ask him: "How deep is your love for me?" As the guy is not good with his words, this often cause the girl to be very upset. With that & the family's pressure, the girl often vent her anger on him. As for him, he only endure it in silence. After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to further his studies in overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the girl: "I'm not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As for your family, I'll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?" The girl agreed, & with the guy's determination, the family finally gave in & agreed to let them get married. So before he leave, they got engaged. The girl went out to the working society, whereas the guy was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their love through emails & phone calls. Though it's hard, but both never thought of giving up. One day, while the girl was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a car that lost control. When she woke up, she saw her parents beside her bed. She realised that she was badly injured. Seeing her mum crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh. She has lost her voice...... The doctors says that the impact on her brain has caused her to lose her voice. Listening to her parents' comfort, but with nothing coming out from her, she broke down. During the stay in hospital, besides silence cry,.....it's still just silence cry that companied her. Upon reaching home, everything seems to be the same. Except for the ringing tone of the phone. Which pierced into her heart everytime it rang. She does not wish to let the guy know. & not wanting to be a burden to him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she does not wish to wait any longer. With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent millions & millions of reply, and countless of phonecalls,.. all the girl could do, besides crying, is still crying.... The parents decided to move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything & be happy. With a new environment, the girl learn sign language & started a new life. Telling herself everyday that she must forget the guy. One day, her friend came & told her that he's back. She asked her friend not to let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn't anymore news of him. A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing an invitation card for the guy's wedding. The girl was shattered. When she open the letter, she saw her name in it instead. When she was about to ask her friend what's going on, she saw the guy standing in front of her. He used sign language telling her "I've spent a year's time to learn sign language. Just to let you know that I've not forgotten our promise. Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You. With that, he slipped the ring back into her finger. The girl finally smiled.
What should i do when i feel so far away from you?, what should i do when i need you close to me?, what should i do if time seperate us?, what should i do when i just can see your smile?, what should i do when i just can hear you voice?, what should i do when i miss you more?. I just keep you in my mind
So far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It will be so fine to see your face at my door And it doesn't help to know that your just time away Long ago I reached for you and there you stood Holding you again could only do me good Oh how I wish I could but you're so far away
One more song about moving along the highway I can't say much of anything that's new But if I could only work this life out my way I'd rather spend it being close to you but you're so far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It will be so fine to see your face at my door And it doesn't help to know you're so far away So far away, yeah you're so far away
Traveling around sure get's me down and lonely Nothing else to do but close my mind And I sure hope the road don't get to own me There's so many dreams that I've yet to find But you're so far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It will be so fine to see your face at my door And it doesn't help to know
You're so far away, you're so far away You're so far away, you're so far away Oh I need to get in touch with ya baby You're so very, very, very far away You're so, so far away
Apperantly i miss all his songs - Bryan Adams - this night, one of his song 'Here I Am' really nice even almost his songs all are nice, but i prefer this one to publish on my blog. More ages he is more awesome he is. Have enjoyed the song.

Galilea sea and Dead sea in Palestine are placed in two seas which is difference each other. Galilea sea is a large lake with clear water and useful to drink even fish and human may swim safely there. Surrounding with green garden, field and houses wich are built by some villagers.
Dead sea, aslike the name, everything in there is death. The water is too salt and may cause sick or pain if drink it. We cant find any fishes and any plants stand for living even no one human wants to live there cause of the smell.
The interisting, there is only one river flows to Galilea sea and Dead sea. So what make they are so difference?.
The difference, First sea always gives and takes (it is called Galilea Sea) and the Second sea only take and keep (it is called Dead Sea).
Yordan river out-flow to Galilea Sea from the bottom. Galilea use that water and move to flow to other lakes which use Yordan water too. After that, Yordan river flow to Dead Sea but never out-flow to others, because the flow had stopped. Dead Sea only keep Yordan River for itself and never share even give to others. That process make Dead Sea is Death ; taking but never want to give and share.
If we live in enough, we should give and share to others who is needy and dont keep because you can be death aslike Dead Sea.
Giving and sharing to needy poeple, it will bring us to many grace and bless from God aslike Galilea Sea.
She likes to live in dream world rather in real world. She is weak and sensitive for loving. She can cry much just because her close friend break up and so happy when see her close friend get new boyfriend even all of those things not effect with her.
You probably surprise when you know she can be so shy when she is in love, now and then that is Pisces woman. She likes small animals and has talent to train animals too. She has sixth sense and can guess what will happen later, it is her nature. Even she has sixth sense, she cant choose and see coming who will be her chosen lover.
She really cant difference who is a man whose has sincere heart and who is a man whose just came and go in her life.
She likes to buy clothes, likes to look sweet. Pisces woman mostly are beautiful and have good skin. Hands and legs are so small and soft and likes to buy shoes and collect them too.
She is a 'hot' woman, everyone wants her. In case she has someone in her life or no, she always tries not to live under any man and never think like that. She belives that man can do better and she will make him in her life feel that way.
She is not complicated person, she is too simple as simple to spend life and live with her. She is a confidence woman and likes to make everyone surrounds her feel happy. She really know how to make man in joyfull and blissfull.
If something happen not in the right way, she will try to convince poeple that happen because others not because what she loves. She never push her man to be an ambitious man but guide him to feel gratefull for everything he has. She is happy just the way he is.
If she gets bad childhood, she will remember always and live in unhappy. She always feels sorry for hersef and tends to hurt herself and doesnt realize can make her live in drugs or less pain pills.
She has many choices and she never cant predict which way she should choose. If you so love her that hold her tight, because she never know what, how and why she does it.
She has complex characters. You will think that she is a shy and innocent person and cant hurt others, you are wrong. You will think she is so weak and really need someone to protect her, once again you are wrong, because she is strong enough to face any problems, matters and fears in her life.
She is a dreamer, likes love words, type of a person who will give any present or gift to anybody in any occasions, especially when mary or anniversary even to a person who she is not yet well known before.
Carefull if you fall in love with her, she can be so difference than before. She can be an angel for you and she can be a magical granny, no one is perfect right? she is so nice, kind and soft heart you should be not too worry.
She needs someone who makes her in shelter, but sometimes she hides that and acts as a stubborn. She always hides her shyness and weaknesess from her enemy.
She likes to follow fix rule. She will be a good housewive if you know how to look after her. Many man want and ask to mary with her because she is totally a women. If she is really nice, kind and soft heart inside, she will be an angel.
Year by year passed to the 5th year. Face many things with smile and patient. Talked which came and gone but the lesson never ended. The usual things became habbits and made own stories. Place and place had kept memories like sheet papers on a book. Things are given always keep in safe. Love and care are shown better than sweet words. Understanding and trust were based like stone in a house.
The one never covered up ... when mouth was said 'it is fine', no one knows about the real feeling beside 'fine'. No one knows when tears but the mouth always said 'it is fine'. No one knows when hurt because of the words just said 'it is fine'. No one knows keep pain inside but once again said 'it is fine'.
Wish oneday 'it is fine' will cover up and realize who always understand in each condition and time and who so selfish afterall. Words can't push to make one even some changes, at least with face, gestures and silent show that must be a mistake.
Is this too patient or too fool ?. There is no rules to forbid too patient in this world and there is no mistake become too patient because the limitation will find oneday. Live is full of option which bring to good and bad side. Stand from each problems made the base more strong and strong. What happen when the day is coming, when patient over limit, and when the mouth can't say 'it is fine' anymore?.
Will the stone still stand or already became sand. If still be a stone means the option which taken was right. If already became sand means the option which taken was wrong, that time is a chance to say 'you never tried to understand me ... make my feeling freezing'.
I can't believe, even i am 25 now but i still collect all the things, goods and attributes from Disney Princess especially Ariel Little Mermaid, she is my most favourite one. The story from each princess was ever lasting and i surely believed untill my kid later Disney Princess still exist. Thank you for Disney and especially who was the person created The Princess, because all of them had been accompanied me as long as 20 years untill today.
It was an old classic rock song, but still brand new and fresh. I remember the same classic rock band like Mr. Big, The Extreme, Gun & Roses, Roxette and others that i cant tell one by one. It had nice meaning too, i really love this song ever.
So you think you've got it all figured out Well you know you can't make it alone Everybody needs somebody to help them out And you know I could be that someone And if you ever get lost on life's highway Don't know where to go There's just one thing that I want you to know
Chorus: I am here for you, always here for you When you need a shoulder to cry on Someone to rely on, I am here for you
So you think that love is long overdue Tired of looking for someone to care Let me tell you now the choice is up to you But you know I will always be there I am here for you, always here for you When you're needin' someone to hold you Remember I told you I am here for you I am here for you So now you've got it all figured out And you know you've found someone that cares And if you ever need somebody to help you out Well you know I will always be there And if you ever get lost on life's highway Don't know where to go There's just one thing that I want you to know
Chorus : I am here for you, always here for you When you're needin' someone to hold you Remember I told you I am here for you, I am here for you
I just read this true love story really touched and made me cried at moment, i can't say anything after read 1st times so i decided to read for the 2nd times still can't say then i read for the 3rd times. I just can say 'really...words are not everything, really...words can't draw and show all feeling in side.

Let me share this true story on my blog and i am sure it will be my favorite post ever. I try to search about Nana Mouskouri-Only Love wich her song said again and again in this story, lucky me i found that song.

It's a cold February night. People are bustling through the streets, either pulling up their coat collars or wrapping scarves around their necks, trying to stay warm. It's so cold today. I'm standing at my window, looking at the people moving like little dots. Standing in a heated room, I'm beginning to pity those people. Why don't they go home? Do they plan on wandering until morning? "Almost time to go home! My boyfriend must be going crazy." One of the nurses breathe a sign of relief. "Still needs to work overtime on Valentine's Day. It's so unfair!" "You are fortunate." Another nurse says. "Some people don't have anyone waiting for them." "You mean Dr. Shu?"Like Sherlock Holmes, my ears perk up when I hear my name."Do you remember how she lost control on this day last year?""Of course I do." A nurse shudders. "I've never seen Dr. Shu like that. Crying and yelling, like she was crazy."They are talking about how I was last year. They are correct. I was out of control, like they said."You can't blame Dr. Shu. If my boyfriend died in front of my eyes, I would probably go crazy as well.""Keep it down. She hasn't left work yet. She might hear you." The two nurses are too late. I heard the entire conversation through the canvas wall."Dr. Shu, what are you doing standing here?" Just as I was deciding whether or not to reveal myself, another nurse exposed me. I awkwardly step out. The 2 nurses who discussed me start to blush. Their faces became redder than the bow on Valentine's Day chocolates. "I'm waiting to go home." I pretend that I didn't hear anything."Dr. Shu, you must have gotten too involved in your work. It's already past time to go home. See you tomorrow. Happy Valentine's Day!" She waves goodbye. "Happy Valentine's Day." I wave back and watch the 2 nurses hurry away. That's fine. I was ready to go home anyway. Even though no lover is waitingfor me, at least there's a lazy cat waiting for me to feed. After I come home, the first thing I do is feed the cat. I forgot when I first had the cat. Probably since last year's Valentine's Day. At that time, I was like an abandoned cat, with eyes filled with despair. Cats don't cry, I do. That's the only difference. "Better drink all the milk or I'll skin you." I threatened the cat. Her name is Christine, my least favorite English name. I don't know why I named the cat Christine. Christine meowed once to let me know she heard me, but her eyes are complaining about my severity. Her eyes remind me of someone I used to know, standing in front of me with eyes of rebellions. An year ago today, I had lunch with my boyfriend and took the opportunity to complain to him. "Today is Valentine's Day. Why didn't you give me any flowers?" He raised his eyebrow. "Why should I give you flowers? You are not my anyone." "Then... you should at least give me a card!" I pouted my lips, hurt by his tone. "I know, I know. After lunch, I'll send you an e-card." E-card. That sounds so impersonal, but that's the way he is. "You have to e-mail it to me. I'll be waiting." I excitedly smiled and planned to sneak home after lunch to check e-mail. Even though he wouldn't use any romantic words, I still looked forward to the card. "I can't stand you women. Why do you make such a big deal out of Valentine's Day??" He grumbled while eating his food. His comment induced me to fight with him again. "You are not romantic at all!! Don't you watch any Japanese drama?" "Japanese drama? I only watch Discovery Channel." "Your life is so boring." I made a face at him. "One recent drama was really good. You should have watched it." "What's that drama called?" He didn't believe in the love portrayed in TV and movies. He always thought they were lies. "It's called 'Story of A Century'." I gladly answered. "What kind of trashy plot did it have?" "What do you mean trash?? Show some respect!" I was so angry. "That drama was very touching, and the theme song was beautiful as well. It's called 'Only Love', performed by Nana Mouskouri." I wonder if he knew who Nana was. "Nana, I know her. A Greek singer with really expensive albums." "Her voice is worth it." Even though I secretly agreed with him, I couldn't bring myself to admit it. "Whatever." He glanced at his watch. "I'll give you 5 minutes to tell me the plot. After that, I'm leaving." I tried hard to explain 6 hours worth of story in just 5 minutes. The drama portrayed the love stories of 3 generations of women spanning 100 years, from 1901 to 2000. Each generation was portrayed by the same actress. The story was tear-jerking. "What's so touching about it?" He asked, after listening to the story. "Don't you think each generation's story is wonderful? If I have such great screen writing ability, I wouldn't be a doctor anymore. I would become a screenwriter." "If you become a screenwriter, I bet no one would watch the show. The TV station can go out of business." He quickly interjected. "I'm going back to work. Hurry and send me the card!" I was so mad that I went home immediately, not even finishing my coffee. As soon as I walked in my door, I turned on my computer and go online. Staring at the empty in-box, I began to reminisce about how we met. Maybe no one will believe me, but my boyfriend and I were actually neighbors. Our homes were only 1 wall away. Ever since we were kids, we liked to fight with each other all day long. I still remember when I moved to the country that year. Used to the city life, I couldn't get used to the simple life in the country. After school, I would just go home and do nothing. Whenever that happened, he would always come over to tease me.

"Why are you staring off into space??" He loved to pull on my hair. "You're so ugly when you're doing nothing. But you're also not pretty when you smile." In other words, I'm really ugly. "You're the one who's ugly!" I pull back my hair. "If you think I'm so ugly, why do you visit me??" "Can't help it. My home is right next to your home." He argued. "Then I'll move!" The next day, I drew a line in the ground using some white chalk. A line that I forbid him to cross. That year, we were both in the 5th grade. We couldn't stand each other and hoped the other would move away. But 5 years passed, and neither of us moved. Not only that, we got into the same high school and into the same class. "You're that infamous couple." All the students and teachers in the school would say whenever they saw us. "We're not!" I always tried to explain. "We're only neighbors." At that time, I hated my parents for making us live next to him."My standard is not that low." He would say. "Who wants her to be a girlfriend?? It's not like I don't have eyes." "Yes, I know your eyes are on top of your head." I really disliked him. "Better than having eyes on the bottom of my head like you." He implied that I couldn't judge guys. At that time, I had a crush on a senior. I didn't think that his sarcasm had a hidden meaning. After a while, I found out that the senior student had lots of girlfriends. When I cried about it, he silently passed me a handkerchief and awkwardly held me in his arms. "I told you he wasn't any good." He roughly comforted me. I cried in his arms the whole night, and began to see him in a different way. Things began to change between us. We still fought all the time, but he started to look at me differently. And I blushed and my heart beat faster when he was near. We both knew: we fell in love with each other. Even with this knowledge, neither of us said anything. Even though we wouldnot be able to resist and kissed each other constantly. Even though we cared about each other's every moves. Both of us refused to admit our love. Time flew by quickly, and it was time to face separation. I chose to study medicine, and he chose physics. Yet we still couldn't separate from each other. Our parents worried that we didn't know anyone in Taipei, so they forced us to live in the same apartment building. Once again, we became neighbors. We still fought, but sometimes we fought into the bedroom. Alright, we became lovers, but we still wouldn't say we loved each other. We didn't even spend Valentine's Day together until he saw me share dinner with a man one Valentine's Day. That night, he waited for me in front of my door and said that he would take me out to dinner on Valentine's Day from then on. I have to say that he was very arrogant. But I nodded and accepted his request. Since then, we spent every Valentine's Day together. After graduation, I became an intern. He started a small computer company with some friends and became a programmer. We were busy with our own lives and had no time for a relationship. Three years later, I became a doctor, and his business began to boom. We separately moved to biggerapartments and stopped being neighbors. On the surface, we left each other. In reality, we were still together. We spent every Valentine's Day together but each year became more dreary than the next because he never told me he loved me even with all my hints. Facing the empty in-box, I suddenly grew very angry. He wouldn't say it and wouldn't send me a card. What did he mean? Who did he think I was? I called his cell phone. "Hello." He picked up the phone. "I didn't receive the card." I immediately showed my displeasure. "You didn't receive it?" He seemed really busy. "But I sent it." He was really busy but I didn't care. "I didn't receive it. Send it again." "Okay, I'll send you 100 times. Is that good enough??" He said with impatience. His tone further infuriated me. Is that how lovers speak to each other? "Don't bother sending it to me. And you don't have to pick me up tonight. I'll eat dinner by myself." "Don't be childish, ok? I'm really busy." "I AM childish!" I hung up the phone and tears rolled down my cheeks. Childish?? Why didn't he consider the situation? We've gone out for so many years and spent countless Valentine's Day together. I never received any flowers nor cards from him. Now, I just want a little e-card. Is that too much to ask for?? I unplugged the phone from the wall and turned off my cell phone. I didn't want to hear his explanations. After I returned to the hospital, I instructed the receptionist not to forward me any phone calls. I wanted to concentrate on work. Because there were so many emergencies today, I was sweating 1 hour later and forgot about our argument. "Dr. Shu, please take a look at that patient." As I was collecting my equipment, the shrill sound of an ambulance sounded outside the ER. When I stepped out the door, the emergency medics hurriedly wheeled in a gurney. "What happened to him?" I asked the 1st medic. Everyone else were trying to help put the patient on the gurney. He was covered with blood. "Car accident." The medic replied. "Very serious. He may die." I nodded and ran to the operating room with them. When I arrived, the nurses told me that the man had already stopped breathing and also his heartbeat also stopped "Prepare for shock." I calmly instructed the nurses. Saving people is our duty. We can't lose our calm. But when I saw who laid on the operating table, I lost my calm. That person was my boyfriend!

"No..." I stood in shock. "NO!!!" I grabbed the paddles and continuously shocked his body. His body bounced up and down from the shocks. The scared nurses went to find another doctor, to tell him that I was crazy. I didn't know if I was crazy or not. I just wanted to save my lover. Even though we fought all the time. Even though he never showed me his love. I still wanted to save him. He still owed me a card. He couldn't die! I threw away the paddles and began to press on his heart. I pressed with all my strength, hoping it would revive him, but he didn't wake up. He didn't even say "It hurts". He just laid there with his eyes closed, punishing me with his silence. Dr. Jian angrily pushed me away. By that time, I couldn't see clearly anymore. I cried. I wailed. I bowled until no sounds could come out of my mouth. "It's too late, Dr. Shu. He's already dead. I'm sorry." Dr. Jian patted me on the shoulder. They knew each other and ate together once. I introduced them. "He can't die." I shook my head. "He can't die!!" I struggled to run to him. "Dr. Shu, control yourself!" Dr. Jian slapped me. "I understand what you're going through, but you're a doctor." Yes, I'm a doctor, but I'm also a regular person. How can Dr. Jian understand how I feel? I've loved him for so many years that it's become a habit. How can I just throw away a habit? Besides, he still owed me a card. "I want him to live! I want him to live!" I ran to him again and tried to knock the life back into his body. "Take her away!" That day, I lost my control and my professionalism. And that day happened to be Valentine's Day. Afterwards, I asked his co-workers why he left work early that day. They told me that after I hung up the phone, he tried to call me several times but couldn't reach me. Worried, he drove to the hospital to find me and got hit by a large truck on the way. When I heard this, I froze. My tantrum killed him. Just because of an unmailed card, he died. After that, I lost my privilege to be childish. Like an abandoned cat, I couldn't even cry anymore. After his death, I couldn't cry anymore, regardless of how touching the plot or how tear-jerking the dialogue. They didn't affect me anymore. Now, I'm only left with a cat and a seldomly used computer. Stepping over the cat, I turned on the computer. Even though I know no one will send me a mail, I still hoped that someone will remember me on this day. Meow, meow. I looked at Christine to see what's wrong. She finished her milk. I went into the kitchen to get her more milk then came back to look at the computer screen. I have.... 100 emails! Who would be bored enough to send me 100 junk mail? I was just about to delete them all when I received another mail, and this one said: "Because of system error, we could not send these until today. We apologize for the delay." The sender was my ISP. I looked at the 1st mail. It showed the send date is last year's Valentine's Day. My heart began to beat fast. Could he have sent these? With a trembling hand, I opened the mail. The first thing that popped up was a gorgeous red rose set against green leaves. Then a beautiful melody began to play.... "Only Love". I couldn't believe it. The rose was so beautiful and the music was so dreamy. I almost thought I was in a fantasy. Most touching of all were the words underneath the rose, because the words read like a beautiful poem. "Hwei." That's my name. "Knowing you so many years, I've never sent you any flowers. Today I send you a rose." I received it and it's so beautiful. "You know we are always fighting. We can never really open our hearts and tell each other how we feel." Yes, but it's all your fault for being so distant. "I know I always make you mad by the things I say." Good that you're admitting it. "But today I want to say to you: I'm sorry, and I love you." I waited so many years for those words. "And I want to tell you a good news. I finally saved enough money." You already have enough money. Why did you need so much? "So Hwei, let's get married!! I was afraid to propose to you, because I didn't trust in my ability to give you the good life you deserve. But now I've saved enough money so we don't have to wait anymore." Who wanted you to wait? I'm already yours."Today, I use this card to propose to you. Will you marry me, Hwei? Will you?" That's the content of the whole card. Like a fool, I kept reading his words and talking to him. It's like I can hear his voice and see him again. As if it's back to 1 year ago with us constantly fighting. The song played over and over. Repeating Nana's heartbreaking voice. Only love can make a memory. Only love can make a moment last. You were there and all the world was young and all it's songs unsung. and I remember you then when love was all, all you were living for,and how you gave that love to me...." The lyrics of this song fits our love so closely. When he was alive, my world was so young. Every day, I could find a something different to fight with him about. But after he left, my life is only left with memories and coldness that will never go away. "Will you marry me?" When I read these words, my tears unconsciously came, wetting the keyboard. Will I? If he's in front of me, I will definitely kick him and call him a big fool. If I wasn't willing, I wouldn't have waited until today. So I moved the cursor over the "Reply" box, and typed the response that I've already prepared for so many years - "I will." I will - be by his side for the rest of my life. I will - fight with him forever. That is how I answered him, but the only response I got was the repeating song "Only Love." Nevertheless, I opened every single letter, accepted every singled rose, and typed the same response: "I will." I replied 100 times, and "Only Love" played 100 times. In this cold Valentine's night, the line that's been broken for 1 year finally got reconnected. I answered you. What about you?
You are walking to your boy/girlfriend's house. There are two roads to get there. One is a straight path to take you there quickly, but very boring. The other is significantly longer but is full of wonderful sights and interesting things. Which one do you take to get to your significant other's house, short or long?
On the way you see two rose bushes. One is full of red roses, the other full of white. You decide to pick 20 roses for your boy/girlfriend of any one color or two color combination. What number of white and/or red do you pick?
You finally get to their house. A family member answers the door. You can have the family member get your boy/girlfriend or go get them yourself. Which do you do?
You go up to your boy/girlfriend's room, but nobody is there. You decide to leave the roses. Do you leave them by the windowsill or on the bed?
Later, it's time for bed. You and your boy/girlfriend sleep in separate rooms. In the morning when it's time to wake up, you go into his/her room and check on him/her. When you arrive, do you prefer him/her to be awake or asleep?
Now it's time to go back home. Do you take the short, plain or more interesting road?
