I should have written down somthing several days ago if the computer hadn't some problems.Fortunately,it is fixed and now I can surf on the net and get the information I need.What's more,I can write diary in English again.
For Mom and Dad believe that I'm a diligent girl in my study as I used to do,I feel a little ashamed of being lazy.But it's not easy for me to organize my time very well especially when I am in a loose environment.Therefore,I have to formulated some plans including losing weight.(Because when I got home,my grandma said that I was a little fat girl,which made me not beautiful~:p)
As I have registered for the National computer rank examination(NCRE-3) which will take place in April,I ought to spare some time to review the courses I've taken one year ago.Oh!Since I am not good at computer studies,I may need more time and energy than I suppose it to be.
And this morning see my family return to Mom's native village to offer a sacrifice to the ancestors,which is the tradition in China.What we've done is worship the ancestors' tombs on bended knees while we burned incense and set off the firecrackers.As we all know,a few days before the chinese new year,while the whole family reunion,people will always offer a sacrifice to their own ancestors(in chinese,means"jizu<祭祖>").Though there are different ways to express our thanks to our ancestors,we are all happy to sit down together enjoying the pleasure of Spring festival and making a wish for the next year.
According to lunar calendar,there are only 9 days left to celebrate the festival--that's Feb.18,and wish all of us a happy new year!

It is really interesting to hear about your traditions. I am glad that were able to be with your family .
I do not think that you are too heavy. You look very nice in your picture.
I agree, it is very interesting to hear about your traditions and the way you celebrate with your family.
You are a beautiful girl and I love reading about your life.
Ella... first and foremost, you are a beautiful girl...
I loved reading about your traditions, as I have always had a great love for Chinese culture. And I especially admire how deeply the Chinese people respect and honor their ancestors.
As for my post that you asked about, yes, it was meant to be funny. Taking a picture can also be called "shooting" a picture. I was driving in my car on my way out of that office when I took the photo... hope that makes more sense!
Happy New Year!
