Days without my mobile
By Ivy

Three weeks have passed since my mobile was stolen by a damned thief, whom I cursed inwardly many times in the first few days, for his stealage made me lose not only a simple mobile, but a network of relationships to which a mobile is my indispensable link. However, as the time being, I've gradually got used to the days without a mobile and even had a bit of gratitude to that anonymous thief. Now I can heartily abandon myself to a sweet dream without a fear of being suddenly waken up by an abrupt and sharp calling ring; and it becomes unnecessary for me to take pains to think of many acceptable reasons to excuse myself from some unexpected appointments without offence of those callers. The only regret is that the mobile is a gift my father presented on the day when I received my college entrance admission from a university in Hunan province.

I can still remember the moment in sight of such a precious gift. How excited I was. Then during the four-year university life in Hunan far away from my parents, a mobile managed to surpass the barrier of space to timely send their comfort and care when I was in trouble and depression, and enabled me to share with them my pleasure and pride when I got some improvements in studying and accomplishments in social work I undertook in my spare time. With this little mobile, my suffering from homesickness had been lessened, mother and father's solicitude and concern about their home-absent daughter eased. Then with a boy's accidentally and unexpectedly intruding into my life and even my peaceful heart, my poor mobile had to take much more but sweeter task. Every piece of short messages heavily loaded with affectionateness shuttled two love-awaiting souls day and night during our get-together days. And thanks to the mobile's contribution in continuing our mutual understandings and spiritual exchanges, a feeling of happiness and mutual attachment still lingered on our hearts and instilled our separated days after graduation.

However, such beautiful life has been only a past hidden in the deep of my memory since my love affair was exposed to my parents whose strong opposition is always an insurmountable barrier and a psychological burden to both of us, thus straining our harmony and easiness in love. There was no day that I did not receive the calls from my parents who I do believe have all the makings of being qualified spies to detect their daughter's every move so as to make sure their dear daughter's uprooting of the idea of flying to meet with her lover. On the other hand, there was no moment that I did not expect the calls or even short messages from my boyfriend who disclosed a sign of surrender few days ago. My mobile, linking my parents at one end while my boyfriend on the other end, was almost a torture to my nerve and had caught me in an emotional dilemma.

But now, with the passage of time after the disappearance of my mobile, both what I am tied and what I am eager have been effaced. The dear thief has stolen a mobile - a mobile haunted by a network of depression and anxiety - from me, however, leaving me a world of temporary peace and relaxation.

青春不打折扣
李屏臻

"也许现在我在大家眼中还是一个'?',但我相信随着我下面的表现,一定会让这个'?'变成惊叹号!"一直以来,这句话都是我青春路上自信的宣言,勇气的象征.用R&B小天王周杰伦说的话就是:"我的青春,我说了算."

从小爱说爱唱的我,喜欢穿梭于各式各样的比赛中,并乐此不疲.虽然这当中有鲜花、掌声,也有泪水、辛酸,但我仍钟爱聚光灯下"视觉焦点"的感觉.每当我成功,我会对自己说:"加油!你行的.";失败了,我也会对自己说:"没关系!这是为你下一次成功做铺垫,有了量的积累,一定会有质的飞跃."正所谓"路漫漫其修远兮",但坚信"有信心不一定会赢,没信心就一定会输"的我会做到永不放弃.

比赛的残酷往往会打垮人的自信,也往往会赐予人更坚强的别样自信.特别是在年轻的心里,更容易滋长出不一样的果实.

大一暑假,我参加了电视台一个综艺才艺秀的比赛,我同样用饱满的激情和认真的态度去对待,每天生活里除了练歌,就是准备其他才艺(主持资料),还得配合其他选手的时间,排练最后的集体舞,充实且充满期待.终于,过五关斩六将闯到了决赛现场,信心满满的我,更以最佳状态迎接挑战,亲戚朋友也都到了现场加油助威.因为是采取现场亮分的形式,一轮一轮环节过去,我的分数始终遥遥领先,心里不免掠过一丝兴奋,心想:付出的心血没有白费,自己也得到了肯定.最激动的时刻到了,当主持人宣布冠军的时候,万万没想到是另外一个与我分数相近的选手,台下一片哗然,结果出乎大家的意料之外,而我更是从无尽的幸福遐想中突然间掉落进冷冰冰的地窖,锥心的痛使我任泪水在脸上流淌,想不通到底是为什么?

电视播出时,我躲在一个无人的角落,怕再次在伤口上撒盐,这时一个同学打我的手机,我猛地按掉了,"嘀嘀嘀",同学仍执著地发来一条短信,打开一看,我陷入了惊讶与不甘中,屏幕显示:"你有看电视吗?我们算过了,你的分数少了一分,你才是冠军."当我缓过劲来跑回家告诉妈妈时,没想到妈妈却很平静地对我说:"无论谁是冠军都不重要,重要的是这个过程,这种经历所给予你的东西."是啊!我为什么不换个角度想想,我真的得到了许多宝贵的经验与锻炼,这远远胜过了奖杯奖品带给我的收获.

我又笑了,这是青春最自然、最灿烂开怀的笑.我付出,我精彩;我努力,我收获;我的青春是不打折扣的,因为... ... 我的青春,我说了算!
