Second Life Reflection 4

We are going to act in a show!  We adapt the movie Hail the Judge and combine contemporary and traditional elements in our play. We are so excited that we can participate in the performance. We buy the Chinese clothes, the costumes makes us change into another person. Amazing! Most of us keep the original hairstyle which is on purpose. Let me show you our picture. 


Ha ha ha I cannot show you our costumes now because it is a secret until next month. If you come to our show, you will know our outfit. We build the house; you can see the picture below. I know that the appearance of the building is not look like the government office in federal China but check out the inside.
 The windows and the color of the wall are very Chinese. It is just the prototype of our building. We are going to decorate it with paintings, chair and billboard in the future. As I mention before, the decoration will be a mixed style. Although I sit on the judge table, I do not play judge in the show. Guess what? I am the leading actress of the show. If you want to see me, please make sure that you reserve the seat. The show will not let you down. 
There is another scene in our show. It is not finished so I cannot share the picture with you. I think the show will be one of the most unforgettable things in my life. Welcome to our show! I’m waiting for you. 

Second Life Reflection 3


 Discovering something new today, hairstyle to woman is as important as water to fish. I am not exaggerated! Good hairstyle can bring you to haven and bad one will lead you go straight to hell. After seeing the picture, I bet that you will totally agree my opinion.
When I see myself in the mirror, I am scared by my strange hairstyle. In fact, there is no style of my hair. OMG I am so nervous because I am going to meet my friends. I run to the best salon of the city and order them to help me. The people there are very nice despite the fact that I am not polite. It costs me 7 hours and 7 thousands to become a fashion woman. Finally, I meet my friends with perfect hairstyle, what do you think?

It is said that desire has no rest so I change my outfit, too. I cannot wait to show my new dress to everyone. It seems like I become more confident because of wearing sunglasses. At that time, I consider myself a unique creature in the world; no one can compete with me. However, there is a guy passing by and he seems more attractive and colorful. I know the gradient colors of my hair are not perfect enough, I have to adjust it. 

There is another big event except my new finding. I build a chair or you can call it a table besides the beach. Whoever sees the blog, welcome to beautiful beach to see this masterpiece! If you come, I will tell you where I buy my dress and the salon.

Second Life Reflection 2

Who am I? That’s the secret I never tell. If you desperately to know, you can check out my last diary. Well, I have another supernatural power, turning into anyone I want. I love to play the game because I can play tricks on classmates. When I woke up in the morning, I was very pretty, pretty as usual. Even my back was glamorous.
Then, I turned into a little bit strange girl. You may ask what’s wrong with my body. I can sure you that I don’t know. Let me introduce the first victim of my little trick.

I had to admit that she is pretty, oh no, only her dress was prettier than I. I lost the confidence because I was in sportswear. I left her as soon as possible.

She was the second victim, her skin is snowy white. When I decided to make her terrified, I stopped with horror. She looked like my grandma who still has 20 years-old face. We are the vampire family so we have young face and smart brain. I run away as soon as possible.
Finally, I met someone or you can say a tiger on the beach. I knew that it was the last chance! I didn't have the confidence to scare him away. He seemed that he didn't see me. What should I do? You maybe know that answer-running away as soon as possible.
Although I didn't fool anyone today, you can see that there are many  people on the photo. There are my next targets. HA HA I believe I will succeed  someday.

Second Life Reflection 1


I am vampire Rola. Although humans know that I am vampire, they treat me quite well. I guess it is because I do not act like a vampire. I like outdoor activities and sunny days. My favorite food is not blood, I share the same taste with human kids—ice cream, especially the strawberry flavor. There is no need to be jealous of my snowy skin because I was born this way.

Today, I moved to a coastal city that is the hometown of my father. I was born here and I love this city. I met one of my good friends and made friends with locals at the seaside.






After hanging out with them, I went to the park. I like to ride on the marry-go-round, enjoying the moment on the horses. Although no one accompanied me to play games, I felt very happy.

Riding on it about an hour, I felt tired and sleepy so I lay down near a beautiful fountain. I hoped that others did not think I was crazy. I was too tired to walk home at that time. Time passed quickly, when I woke up, there was no one in the park. What's worse, I did not notice mom in advance. I was scold by mom because I did not come back home at 9. However, it did not ruin my good mood; riding on the marry-go-round is my favorite activity!
