“ADJUSTING TO MARRIED LIFE”

Đăng bởi sunguyen on Tháng Một 12, 2008

This couple has only been married for two weeks. The husband, although very much in love, can’t wait to go out into town and party with his old buddies.
He says to his new wife, “Honey, I’ll be right back…”

“Where are you going coochy coo…?” asked the wife.
“I’m going to the bar, pretty face. I’m going to have a
beer.”

The wife says to him, “You want a beer, my love?” Then she opens the door to the refrigerator and shows him 25 different kinds of beer brands from 12 different countries: Germany, Holland, Japan, India, etc.

The husband doesn’t know what to do, and the only thing that he can think of saying is, “Yes, loolie loolie… but the bar… you know… the frozen glass…”

He doesn’t get to finish the sentence, when thewife interrupts him by saying, “You want a frozen glass, puppy face?”
She takes a huge beer mug out of the freezer so frozen that she is getting the chills holding it.

The husband, looking a bit pale, says, “Yes, tootsie roll, but at
the bar they have those hors d’oeuvres that are really delicious… I won’t be long. I’ll be right back. I promise. OK?”

“You want hors d’oeuvres, poochi pooh?” She opens the oven and takes out 15 dishes of different hors d’oeuvres: buffalo wings, nachos mushroom caps, chicken strips, etc.

“But sweet honey… at the bar… you know… the swearing, the
dirty words and all that…”

“You want dirty words, cutie pie?…
DRINK YOUR FUCKING BEER IN YOUR FROZEN FUCKING MUG AND EAT YOUR FUCKING DAMN SNACKS BECAUSE YOU AREN’T GOING ANYWHERE!! GOT IT ASSHOLE?!!”

Numb – Linkin Park – Lyrics

Đăng bởi sunguyen on Tháng Mười Hai 27, 2007

[Linkin Park]
I’m tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don’t know what you’re expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

[Chorus 2]
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
I’ve become so tired so much more aware
By becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
I’ve become so numb (can i get an encore, do you want more)
I’ve become so numb (So for one last time I need y’all to roar, so for one last time I need y’all to roar)

Love will find a way – Lion king

Đăng bởi sunguyen on Tháng Mười Hai 24, 2007

KIARA:

In a perfect world

One we’ve never known

We would never need to face the world alone

They can have the world

We’ll create our own

I may not be brave or strong or smart

But some where in my secret heart

I know

Love will find a way

Any where we go

I’m home

If you are there beside me

Like dark turning into day

Some how we’ll come through

Now that I’ve found you

Love will find a way

KOVU:

I was so afraid

Now I realize

Love is never wrong

And so it never dies

There’s a perfect world

Shining in your eyes

KIARA and KOVU:

And if only they could feel it too

The happiness I feel with you

They’d know

Love will find a way

Any where we go

we’re home

If we are there together

Like dark turning into day

Some how we’ll come through

Now that I’ve found you

Love will find a way

I know love will find a way

You raise me up

Đăng bởi sunguyen on Tháng Mười Hai 23, 2007

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;

When troubles come and my heart burdened be;

I am still and wait here in the silence,

Until you come and sit a while with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up…

To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up…

To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up…

To more than I can be.

You raise me up…

To more than I can be

Apologize

Đăng bởi sunguyen on Tháng Mười Hai 22, 2007

Apologize

I’m holding on your rope

Got me ten feet off the ground

And I’m hearing what you say

But I just can’t make a sound

You tell me that you need me

Then you go and cut me down

But wait

You tell me that you’re sorry

Didn’t think I’d turn around and say..

That it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late

I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late

I’d take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you

And I need you like a heart needs a beat

(But that’s nothing new)

Yeah yeah

I loved you with a fire red, now it’s turning blue

And you say

Sorry like an angel, heavens not the same with you

 

But I’m afraid

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late

I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late

Woahooo woah

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late

I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late

I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah yeah

I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah

I’m holding on your rope

Got me ten feet off the ground

Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) of “Smallville” was chosen as “Best Looking” among a smokin’ group of contenders, and quite frankly she stomped the competition. This stunning brunette garnered 28% of the vote, with runner-up McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey) of “Grey’s Anatomy” a distant second (12%), and other hotties pulling only single digits.

Medical drama “House” ran away with the coveted “Most Popular” honor receiving 42% of the Yahoo! TV user votes. Clearly fans loved the staffing dilemma that spawned the cutthroat competition between fellowship candidates. Highly-rated hits “Grey’s Anatomy” and “CSI” were a distant second with 20% each, and “Dancing with the Stars” followed with 10%. In last place, “Desperate Housewives” garnered 8% of the vote, prompting the important question, “What’s up Wisteria Lane?”

He didn’t get his nickname for nothing. McSteamy from “Grey’s Anatomy” charmed 40% of Y! TV users into selecting him as the “Biggest Flirt” this Fall. In a tie for 2nd place, Gaby from “Desperate Housewives” and Barney from “How I Met Your Mother” couldn’t even compete with their combined total of 30%. Although McSteamy’s flirtatious powers aren’t getting him very far with the obviously uninterested Dr. Hahn, we’re pretty sure his mojo is still intact.He didn’t get his nickname for nothing. McSteamy from

With 27% of the vote, “Gossip Girl’s” queen bee of Manhattan’s Upper East Side Blair Waldorf is Y! TV users’ favorite new meanie. Don’t let that doll-like face fool you, ’cause B will bully, manipulate and intimidate to keep her spot atop the popularity food chain. Butt-kicking bad girl Sarah Corvus of “Bionic Woman” came in a close second with 23% of the vote. Surprisingly, the Devil himself (“Reaper”) couldn’t rock the evil like the ladies and made a weak (16%) showing for third.

Learning English with adventure games

Đăng bởi sunguyen on Tháng Mười Hai 21, 2007

Learning English with adventure games

What is an adventure game?
An adventure game is a kind of computer game which is similar to a movie. There is always a story and the main character (usually a person, such as a detective or a pirate). The difference is that you don’t just watch — instead, you control the main character. You use your mouse or keyboard, and your character moves around in the game world, looks at things, picks them up, uses them, and talks to other characters. Your character also talks to you. For example, when you tell him to look at something, he will tell you what he sees. You can then use this information to decide what to do next.

Anyone who played an adventure game knows that they are great fun. But adventure games are also a great way to improve your English.

Why adventure games are good for your English
When you play an adventure game:

You improve your understanding of spoken English. In modern adventure games, you can hear all the characters speak real English. The dialogue is easier to understand than in movies: it is slower, clearer, and you can usually stop the action and listen to a phrase again. Therefore, playing an adventure game is excellent listening practice.
You gain a “grammar intuition”. When you play an adventure game, you have contact with a large number of grammatically correct and natural English sentences. These sentences are not only spoken (as on TV). In many adventure games you can also turn on subtitles. If you do, you will hear the pronunciation and see the spelling at the same time. The result? More will be left in your memory.

You improve your pronunciation. Listening to good spoken English is always good for your pronunciation.
You increase your motivation. When you play an adventure game, you are in a situation where knowing English makes you feel good. It’s simple. If you can understand the dialogue, you know what is going on in the game. This helps you solve the puzzles and understand the humor. You have fun. You give your brain a signal: “English gives me pleasure”, and your motivation increases!
