A Story of Sisterhood

[10/26/2010]

We are meant to be Together.


June 30^th, the day that we were born and she was ten minutes in front of me. Since then, I could see myself in her face and her reflection in my path of life.


The story starts on a typical summer day. The sounds of the tennis ball that flies in the air, hits the wall, and then comes back to the racket are obvious to the people walking passed. There is nobody who dares to go into this dilapidated parking lot, except her. She doesn’t expect anyone to see the ball moving, while it’s too fast for anyone to notice. But her sharp eyes capture every movement that the tennis ball takes and quickly calculates where it’s going to be landing. She keeps going and going for the whole afternoon, non-stop, until the racket becomes extremely heavy, and her arms cannot take it anymore. “Bravo”, Jake says clapping his hands, as she comes out of the parking lot. Jake is one of her classmates. She doesn’t go to school that often anymore; instead, she spends more time playing tennis. Jake is the only one who still keeps in touch with her. He goes on, “What a wonderful afternoon. How are you doing with your twin sister?”  He says mockingly.

“Go away!” She’s already used to the fact that people make fun of her.  And it makes her frustrated. She walks straight home and locks herself in her room. She won’t even let her sister go in. Then she drags an old box out of the shelf and carefully blows off the dirt. It is a hand-carved wooden box. She hasn’t opened it for almost two years now. It contains a lot of her memories, as well as her secret. She was born on a big farm. Her parents abandoned her before her second birthday. Afterward, her grandparents took over the legal guardianship of her. But unfortunately, they barely talk to her because she was always a troubled child. She tried so hard to find her sister after her parents left, and all the evidences of her are in this old-fashioned box. When she was young, she went to the local library and got two cards, she told the librarian that one of them is for her sister. The librarian humored her and she gave them to her; however, it has never been used.

Welcome to my blog!


This is my first official English blog created on Monday, October 18th.

This is a very exciting undertaking for me and I even thought about the names for this blog for two days!  Finally, I decided on using the name "Sametime".  It may not be the most creative one, but it fits me well.

Before that, I had a personal blog that was only used for talking to myself.  I treated it like a secret place where I could talk about anything and just vent on it.  This went on until one time I read over the past journals I had written, and I found that all I had said was quite depressing stuff.  As a result I decided it was best that I stopped updating, and then made everything invisible six months later. 

Before that blog, I also had one on sina.com which was quite successful in terms of writing and collecting pictures.  If you are interested in looking at it, I will link these two blogs together in the future.  For the sina blog, I received comments and met many new friends who have the same hobbies and dreams as me.  This blog feels more like it is less about myself when compose the post because I only recall what happened in my life, but not my feelings towards those things.

And before that, the concept of a "blog" didn’t even exist yet.  : P


So for this blog, I hope that I will keep building up my previous experiences, and communicate with more people.  I created it not only for English writing purposes, but also as journals and photo albums.  I also hope that this blog will be the combination of the good sides of my other blogs.  I will record the fun parts of my life on this blog and share with all of you as regularly as I can. 

Hope you like it!
