Blogging Wisdom

More wisdom

Ever since I started blogging, I’ve learnt a lot. It’s quite strange because I never thought I could learn anything from recording down my thoughts on a webpage.

Here are some things that I’ve learnt from blogging:

TimeBlogging is something that takes time to grow. It’s not about how many posts you make on that one day/week. In the end, the blogs that are most successful are ones who have devoted themselves to a consistent schedule and are people who blog regularly.

Zui Wu Dao. Part 2 -Chapter 3.

To my dear readers,

I really like this chapter, but some parts were very awkward to translate because it sounds very strange or sexual in English (it sounds normal in Chinese though). Anyhow, I hope you like it!

Here is the Chinese version of this chapter.

And here this my promoted post: Appearance <– Does appearance matter to you? What are your thoughts? Please read and comment! ❤

Chapter 3                   Ling Hu Jiu

What Xuan Luo said thoroughly angered the man. How dare he, a mere child, say that to him in such a harsh tone? Continue reading “Zui Wu Dao. Part 2 -Chapter 3.”

Zui Wu Dao. Part 2 -Chapter 2.

To my dear readers,

In Chinese, there are a lot of 成语. That means, within a few characters (usually 4), it tells us a whole story. Chinese is a very meaningful language, and I am proud to say I’m Chinese…BUT IT MAKES TRANSLATING SO HARD. UGGGHHHHHHH. Okay, sorry for the rant. My brain hurts.

Oh, some of you guys read my THE SECRET post from last time!! This is the follow up 😉 HOW TO GET FANS . Hehe. Thank you! ❤

Here is the Chinese version of this chapter.

Chapter 2                   Hand it over

Xuan Luo’s attacking sequence was far too simple. If it weren’t for his nei li, he would not be able to fight back at all. Continue reading “Zui Wu Dao. Part 2 -Chapter 2.”

ISIS’s PR campaign + Rap

My title looks ridiculous, but you’ll understand as you keep reading.

Last week, I caught up with a friend and we had a conversation about ISIS. She said, “I wouldn’t underestimate ISIS. They have a pretty good PR campaign going on.”

Without thinking, I blurted out, “What?” Continue reading “ISIS’s PR campaign + Rap”

Zui Wu Dao. Part 2 -Chapter 1.

To my dear readers,

Sorry I’m a day late at posting. I haven’t been feeling well, so I didn’t end up meeting my deadline yesterday. I think I can only handle 2 chapters a week. I was thinking of increasing it to 3, but it takes me much too long to do it. A sentence that may take you 5 seconds to read can take me 5 minutes to translate. V__V

Anyhow, this is just the beginning. I am 50 chapters ahead and the story gets really good. It feels like I am reading a television show. Haha. Hope you guys like it.

Here is the Chinese version of this chapter.

And this is my promoted post. THE SECRET . Please read ❤

Chapter 1                   The rescue

Qian Deng Zhen was surrounded by mountains. As a result, the villagers did not care much about what was going on outside of their town. Some would go as far and say that they were a separate land of joy and happiness.

However, it was still possible to leave Qian Deng Zhen and go to different major cities. Thus, Xuan Luo decided to go to the nearest major city, Du Cheng.  He wanted to find out more information from there. Although Master Li told him a lot, it was far from enough. Ever since Master Li was injured, he pretty much stayed in Qian Deng Zhen. Things change all the time, and sometimes things change all of a sudden.

Along their way, Xuan Luo and Bai Tian admired the scenery and enjoyed the soft blow of the wind.

Zui Wu Dao. Part 1 -Chapter 6

To my dear readers,

This is the end of Part 1! It gets a lot more exciting after this chapter because he’s actually going somewhere now. (Lots of action to look forward to! 😛 ) Sorry for the slow translation. I know it might not seem like it, but I’m actually trying to be faster. Haha.

Anyhow, this week I want to promote my FRIENDSHIP post. Please read. ❤

And if you want, this is the Chinese version of Chapter 6.

Chapter 6                   Departure

Martial Arts building

It was late in the evening. Xuan Luo went to the Martial Arts’ building on his own. He had promised Master Li that before he left, he would come here. Master Li had something to say to him.

“Li ye ye, are you here?” Inside the main hall, he didn’t see anyone. Although the building wasn’t considered big, a dozen or so disciples could practice at the same time.

My thoughts on the Paris shooting

Paris

Disclaimer: This is purely my own opinions. I am not saying that my views are correct, but this is how I feel. Please do not take it personally.

When I found out about the terrorist attack in Paris on November 13th, I was so sad. All these innocent lives. Gone.

I feel so heartbroken even though it didn’t happen in my country, or to anyone related to me.

I thought about my friends and I, going to a concert. You know, just wanting to have a good time. Then, BOOM. Bloodshed everywhere. Dead bodies everywhere. Continue reading “My thoughts on the Paris shooting”

Zui Wu Dao. Part 1 -Chapter 5

To my dear readers,

My post is a bit late today, but I hope you like it nonetheless. I didn’t have time to translate until late last night because I was working on some online courses. Anyhow, I’m extremely sadden by what has happened in Paris. I hope none of you are affected by the tragedies. It is so sad.

Here is my promoted post: ATTENTION <– It’s interesting! Please read! Haha.

Here is the Chinese version of Chapter 5.

Chapter 5                   Decision

After staying with Master Li for most of the morning, Xuan Luo had a much deeper understanding of jiang hu‘s different Clans and the power that they hold. But he hasn’t made up his mind yet. Although he made a promise to Master Li, it doesn’t mean he had to make his decision so soon.

Master Li did not say anything else for the rest of the day, which caused Xuan Luo to feel a little uneasy.  Continue reading “Zui Wu Dao. Part 1 -Chapter 5”

Zui Wu Dao. Part 1 -Chapter 4

To my dear readers,

Chapter 4 took me almost 6 hours to translate. -____-. It was extremely difficult because of all these new terms. I will be updating the glossary from the table of contents section as well. So, if you are confused, please go take a look. This translation is probably 90% accurate. Sorry if the sentence structure/grammar is weird, I tried my best.

Here is my promoted post: PERSPECTIVE Please read! It’s short, but meaningful.

Chapter 4                   The Six Big Clans

When Xuan Luo arrived at the Martial Arts building, he saw Master Li practicing a set of fist technique in the main hall. Hence, Xuan Luo did not disturb him. He found a spot to sit close by while he waited for Master Li to complete his set.

Under normal circumstances, one should never disturb a martial artist while he was in practice. If a martial artist’s qi is disturbed while practicing xin fa, he could lose control of his body and turn crazy. Although Master Li wasn’t practicing xin fa at the moment, it was still better to take caution.

Helping the Homeless: Happy Feet

Socks from car view

Yesterday, my friend Jasmine and a bunch of us went downtown to hand out socks to the homeless. Approximately a month ago, Jasmine wrote a facebook message in her community group asking for sock donations.

Facebook group msg

Within 24 hours, over 100 people responded to the post!

People were extremely giving. Some wanted to donate toothpastes, gift cards, toothbrushes, money, and so on. But Jasmine decided it was too unfair since only some of the homeless would get the extra stuff. Therefore, she made it clear that only socks were accepted.

Donation box

In addition, SIMS Medical Corp donated a huge box of BRAND NEW medical socks to us. We are extremely thankful.

So yesterday, we met at a parking lot in downtown Toronto. Upon our arrival, we were surprised by another kind deed.

Parking meter

A previous car owner had paid for full day parking but left early. He/she decided to leave his/her ticket for the another person to use. SO KIND!!!

Anyhow, here’s a picture of the amount of socks we had.
