Her youngest sister is 3 years old now. She likes eating banana. Fina loves her so much. She always accompanies her before going and after back from campus. She always read a story before she goes to bed and feeds her.

Her mother's proud of her. She is a kind girl. She was the best student when she studied in Senior High School. She is so great.

Last week when she was sitting under the mango tree, her classmate came over her, "Hi, what are doing here?"

"Nothing. I am doing nothing. You look so beautiful."

"Oh, I am flattered. Thank you."

"Fina, You look happy everyday, all the time. You are so lucky?"

"What? Why did you say so?"

"You know, I am a daughter of a rich parent. We have more than enough money, but we don't have what you have."

"You mean ... happiness?"

"Yeah."

Fina looked at the emptiness, let the air come over her and touched her face. "I don't think so, Eveline. All of us have our own problem."

"It's different. I don't know who is my dad and who is my mum."

"You don't live with them?"

"We live together, but ..." she cried

The Season

You want to go to the beach on holiday? Which beach? Have you ever seen a sunset in St. Tropez? That’s the famous wonderful sunset in French. Will you go there in Summer? Most people go on holiday to the beach in summer. It’s hot in this season, bring your umbrella or wear a wide hat to cover your head from the heat. But don’t wear your hat in autumn, it’s windy. The leaves spread on the land. The wind will blow your hat. It’s a bit cold and cloudy.

What about winter? It’s very cold, snowy, rainy. The rain falls, snow everywhere. Wear jacket. Be careful, don’t get cold too long, you will be numb like a stone, want you? However, you can go on picnic in spring. It’s warm, very nice. It’s fine to go outside.

But I never care the weather. I like to go outside, whether it’s misty, drizzly, freezing, foggy, frosty, sweltering, stormy, fine or not. Sometimes I see a little bird’s singing around the morning mist, on the motionless cloud. That’s wonderful enough.
