My Best Friend & My Prince Charming - Introduction
In Hollywood, USA, America, lived two daughters. They're very different from each other. And they often fight. The one with the long blonde hair was named Daphne and the one with the wavy black hair was named Mylene but used to be called Miley. They live in a mansion with their rich business father, Edward and their nanny, Sarah. Their mother died in a plane accident when she on her way to have a business trip in Holland.
Daphne liked to tease and brag and sass a lot. She's very out-going as she dated a lot of boys in her Middle and High school time. Daphne was also part of a popular group called 'The Boys' Ladies' including her 3 friends; Tessa, Chloe and Chanel. She loves to get her little sister into trouble. She's such a party-girl and she's really good at dancing & singing.
As for Miley, she's really shy. And she's homeschooled, so she's a loner. The only friends she has are her parents and Daphne. Well actually, Daphne wasn't her friend. Daphne was the enemy and she liked to bully Miley about her being like 'You're a weirdo', 'What a loner', 'You're so dumb', 'Such a nerd' or 'What a stupid bookworm'. Yep, Miley was very bullied by nearly everyone because she never talks to anyone. Even when her father gives her a chance to talk to his business friends & partners, she just tilts her head down as she read her book that she had brought with her. Everywhere, Miley brings at least 2 - 3 books for her to read in her spare time. But, she has a singing, writing a story and dancing talent that she hides behind the walls of the mansion. Her singing can be heard from her dancing studio on the third floor till the library on the second floor.
One night, Daphne mentioned about their mother over dinner which made her dad think. I have to marry another woman. The children needs a mother to raise them. And Edward finally married another woman named Clarissa. She was a bit posh and mean. When Edward wasn't home, she ordered Miley to clean up the whole mansion by herself. While she loves Daphne with uncountable love.
Now, Miley wanted to have a friend, a best friend, and a prince charming to free her from the curse of unhappiness.

Really Don't Care - Demi Lovato feat. Cher Lloyd
You wanna play, you wanna stay, you wanna have it all
You started messing with my head until I hit a wall
Maybe I should've known, maybe I should've known
That you would walk, you would walk out the door, hey!
Said we were done, then met someone and rubbed it in my face
Cut to the part, she broke your heart, and then she ran away
I guess you should've known, I guess you should've known
That I would talk, I would talk
But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh I really don't care
Even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh I really don't care
Oh oh oh I really don't care
I can't believe I ever stayed up writing songs about you
You don't deserve to know the way I used to think about you
Oh no not anymore, oh no not anymore
You had your shot, had your shot, but you let go
Now if we meet out on the street I won't be running scared
I'll walk right up to you and put one finger in the air

Hey Demi, you picked the wrong lover
Should've picked that one, he's cuter than the other
I just wanna laugh, cause you're tryna be a hipster
Kick him to the curb, take a Polaroid picture

Demi Lovato - Made In The USA lyrics
Our love runs deep like a Chevy
If you fall I'll fall with you baby
'Cause that's the way we like to do it
That's the way we like
You run around open doors like a gentleman
And tell me, "Girl, every day you're my everything."
'Cause that's the way you like to do it
That's the way you like
Just a little West Coast, and a bit of sunshine
Hair blowing in the wind, losing track of time
Just you and I, just you and I
Whoa, whoa
No matter how far we go,
I want the whole world to know
I want you bad, and I won't have it any other way
No matter what the people say,
I know that we'll never break
'Cause our love was made, made in the USA
Made in the USA, yeah
You're always reading my mind like a letter
When I'm cold, you're there like a sweater
'Cause that's the way we like to do it
That's the way we like
I'll never ever let the world get the best of you
Every night we're apart, I'm still next to you
'Cause that's the way I like to do it
That's the way I like
We touch down on the East Coast
Dinner on the sky rise,
Winter is the best time for walking in the city lights
You and I, you and I
Whoa, whoa
No matter how far we go,
I want the whole world to know
I want you bad, and I won't have it any other way
No matter what the people say,
I know that we'll never break
'Cause our love was made, made in the USA
'Cause baby I'll bite the bullet
And take the blows for love
Whoa oh oh, our love was made in the USA
Made in the USA, made in the USA
No matter how far we go,
I want the whole world to know
I want you bad, and I won't have it any other way
No matter what the people say,
I know that we'll never break
'Cause our love was made, made in the USA
Made in the USA, yeah
Made in the U.S.
Made in the U.S.
Made in the U.S.A.
How To Write a Novel Using the Snowflake Method
The Snowflake Method For Designing A Novel
Writing a novel is easy. Writing a good novel is hard. That’s just life. If it were easy, we’d all be writing best-selling, prize-winning fiction.Frankly, there are a thousand different people out there who can tell you how to write a novel. There are a thousand different methods. The best one for you is the one that works for you.
In this article, I’d like to share with you what works for me. I’ve published six novels and won about a dozen awards for my writing. I teach the craft of writing fiction at writing conferences all the time. One of my most popular lectures is this one: How to write a novel using what I call the “Snowflake Method.”
This page is the most popular one on my web site, and gets over a thousand page views per day, so you can guess that a lot of people find it useful. But you may not, and that’s fine by me. Look it over, decide what might work for you, and ignore the rest! If it makes you puke, I won’t be insulted. Different writers are different. If my methods get you rolling, I’ll be happy. I’ll make the best case I can for my way of organizing things, but you are the final judge of what works best for you. Have fun and . . . write your novel!
The Importance of Design
Good fiction doesn’t just happen, it is designed. You can do the design work before or after you write your novel. I’ve done it both ways and I strongly believe that doing it first is quicker and leads to a better result. Design is hard work, so it’s important to find a guiding principle early on. This article will give you a powerful metaphor to guide your design.Our fundamental question is this: How do you design a novel?
For a number of years, I was a software architect designing large software projects. I write novels the same way I write software, using the “snowflake metaphor”. OK, what’s the snowflake metaphor? Before you go further, take a look at this cool web site.
The first few steps look like this:
I claim that that’s how you design a novel — you start small, then build stuff up until it looks like a story. Part of this is creative work, and I can’t teach you how to do that. Not here, anyway. But part of the work is just managing your creativity — getting it organized into a well-structured novel. That’s what I’d like to teach you here.
If you’re like most people, you spend a long time thinking about your novel before you ever start writing. You may do some research. You daydream about how the story’s going to work. You brainstorm. You start hearing the voices of different characters. You think about what the book’s about — the Deep Theme. This is an essential part of every book which I call “composting”. It’s an informal process and every writer does it differently. I’m going to assume that you know how to compost your story ideas and that you have already got a novel well-composted in your mind and that you’re ready to sit down and start writing that novel.
The Ten Steps of Design
But before you start writing, you need to get organized. You need to put all those wonderful ideas down on paper in a form you can use. Why? Because your memory is fallible, and your creativity has probably left a lot of holes in your story — holes you need to fill in before you start writing your novel. You need a design document. And you need to produce it using a process that doesn’t kill your desire to actually write the story. Here is my ten-step process for writing a design document. I use this process for writing my novels, and I hope it will help you.Step 1) Take an hour and write a one-sentence summary of your novel. Something like this: “A rogue physicist travels back in time to kill the apostle Paul.” (This is the summary for my first novel, Transgression.) The sentence will serve you forever as a ten-second selling tool. This is the big picture, the analog of that big starting triangle in the snowflake picture.
When you later write your book proposal, this sentence should appear very early in the proposal. It’s the hook that will sell your book to your editor, to your committee, to the sales force, to bookstore owners, and ultimately to readers. So make the best one you can!
Some hints on what makes a good sentence:
- Shorter is better. Try for fewer than 15 words.
- No character names, please! Better to say “a handicapped trapeze artist” than “Jane Doe”.
- Tie together the big picture and the personal picture. Which character has the most to lose in this story? Now tell me what he or she wants to win.
- Read the one-line blurbs on the New York Times Bestseller list to learn how to do this. Writing a one-sentence description is an art form.
If you believe in the Three-Act structure, then the first disaster corresponds to the end of Act 1. The second disaster is the mid-point of Act 2. The third disaster is the end of Act 2, and forces Act 3 which wraps things up. It is OK to have the first disaster be caused by external circumstances, but I think that the second and third disasters should be caused by the protagonist’s attempts to “fix things”. Things just get worse and worse.
You can also use this paragraph in your proposal. Ideally, your paragraph will have about five sentences. One sentence to give me the backdrop and story setup. Then one sentence each for your three disasters. Then one more sentence to tell the ending. Don’t confuse this paragraph with the back-cover copy for your book. This paragraph summarizes the whole story. Your back-cover copy should summarize only about the first quarter of the story.
Step 3) The above gives you a high-level view of your novel. Now you need something similar for the storylines of each of your characters. Characters are the most important part of any novel, and the time you invest in designing them up front will pay off ten-fold when you start writing. For each of your major characters, take an hour and write a one-page summary sheet that tells:
- The character’s name
- A one-sentence summary of the character’s storyline
- The character’s motivation (what does he/she want abstractly?)
- The character’s goal (what does he/she want concretely?)
- The character’s conflict (what prevents him/her from reaching this goal?)
- The character’s epiphany (what will he/she learn, how will he/she change?
- A one-paragraph summary of the character’s storyline
Another important point: It doesn’t have to be perfect. The purpose of each step in the design process is to advance you to the next step. Keep your forward momentum! You can always come back later and fix it when you understand the story better. You will do this too, unless you’re a lot smarter than I am.
Step 4) By this stage, you should have a good idea of the large-scale structure of your novel, and you have only spent a day or two. Well, truthfully, you may have spent as much as a week, but it doesn’t matter. If the story is broken, you know it now, rather than after investing 500 hours in a rambling first draft. So now just keep growing the story. Take several hours and expand each sentence of your summary paragraph into a full paragraph. All but the last paragraph should end in a disaster. The final paragraph should tell how the book ends.
This is a lot of fun, and at the end of the exercise, you have a pretty decent one-page skeleton of your novel. It’s okay if you can’t get it all onto one single-spaced page. What matters is that you are growing the ideas that will go into your story. You are expanding the conflict. You should now have a synopsis suitable for a proposal, although there is a better alternative for proposals . . .
Step 5) Take a day or two and write up a one-page description of each major character and a half-page description of the other important characters. These “character synopses” should tell the story from the point of view of each character. As always, feel free to cycle back to the earlier steps and make revisions as you learn cool stuff about your characters. I usually enjoy this step the most and lately, I have been putting the resulting “character synopses” into my proposals instead of a plot-based synopsis. Editors love character synopses, because editors love character-based fiction.
Step 6) By now, you have a solid story and several story-threads, one for each character. Now take a week and expand the one-page plot synopsis of the novel to a four-page synopsis. Basically, you will again be expanding each paragraph from step (4) into a full page. This is a lot of fun, because you are figuring out the high-level logic of the story and making strategic decisions. Here, you will definitely want to cycle back and fix things in the earlier steps as you gain insight into the story and new ideas whack you in the face.
Step 7) Take another week and expand your character descriptions into full-fledged character charts detailing everything there is to know about each character. The standard stuff such as birthdate, description, history, motivation, goal, etc. Most importantly, how will this character change by the end of the novel? This is an expansion of your work in step (3), and it will teach you a lot about your characters. You will probably go back and revise steps (1-6) as your characters become “real” to you and begin making petulant demands on the story. This is good — great fiction is character-driven. Take as much time as you need to do this, because you’re just saving time downstream. When you have finished this process, (and it may take a full month of solid effort to get here), you have most of what you need to write a proposal. If you are a published novelist, then you can write a proposal now and sell your novel before you write it. If you’re not yet published, then you’ll need to write your entire novel first before you can sell it. No, that’s not fair, but life isn’t fair and the world of fiction writing is especially unfair.
Step 8) You may or may not take a hiatus here, waiting for the book to sell. At some point, you’ve got to actually write the novel. Before you do that, there are a couple of things you can do to make that traumatic first draft easier. The first thing to do is to take that four-page synopsis and make a list of all the scenes that you’ll need to turn the story into a novel. And the easiest way to make that list is . . . with a spreadsheet.
For some reason, this is scary to a lot of writers. Oh the horror. Deal with it. You learned to use a word-processor. Spreadsheets are easier. You need to make a list of scenes, and spreadsheets were invented for making lists. If you need some tutoring, buy a book. There are a thousand out there, and one of them will work for you. It should take you less than a day to learn the itty bit you need. It’ll be the most valuable day you ever spent. Do it.
Make a spreadsheet detailing the scenes that emerge from your four-page plot outline. Make just one line for each scene. In one column, list the POV character. In another (wide) column, tell what happens. If you want to get fancy, add more columns that tell you how many pages you expect to write for the scene. A spreadsheet is ideal, because you can see the whole storyline at a glance, and it’s easy to move scenes around to reorder things.
My spreadsheets usually wind up being over 100 lines long, one line for each scene of the novel. As I develop the story, I make new versions of my story spreadsheet. This is incredibly valuable for analyzing a story. It can take a week to make a good spreadsheet. When you are done, you can add a new column for chapter numbers and assign a chapter to each scene.
Step 9) (Optional. I don’t do this step anymore.) Switch back to your word processor and begin writing a narrative description of the story. Take each line of the spreadsheet and expand it to a multi-paragraph description of the scene. Put in any cool lines of dialogue you think of, and sketch out the essential conflict of that scene. If there’s no conflict, you’ll know it here and you should either add conflict or scrub the scene.
I used to write either one or two pages per chapter, and I started each chapter on a new page. Then I just printed it all out and put it in a loose-leaf notebook, so I could easily swap chapters around later or revise chapters without messing up the others. This process usually took me a week and the end result was a massive 50-page printed document that I would revise in red ink as I wrote the first draft. All my good ideas when I woke up in the morning got hand-written in the margins of this document. This, by the way, is a rather painless way of writing that dreaded detailed synopsis that all writers seem to hate. But it’s actually fun to develop, if you have done steps (1) through (8) first. When I did this step, I never showed this synopsis to anyone, least of all to an editor — it was for me alone. I liked to think of it as the prototype first draft. Imagine writing a first draft in a week! Yes, you can do it and it’s well worth the time. But I’ll be honest, I don’t feel like I need this step anymore, so I don’t do it now.
Step 10) At this point, just sit down and start pounding out the real first draft of the novel. You will be astounded at how fast the story flies out of your fingers at this stage. I have seen writers triple their fiction writing speed overnight, while producing better quality first drafts than they usually produce on a third draft.
You might think that all the creativity is chewed out of the story by this time. Well, no, not unless you overdid your analysis when you wrote your Snowflake. This is supposed to be the fun part, because there are many small-scale logic problems to work out here. How does Hero get out of that tree surrounded by alligators and rescue Heroine who’s in the burning rowboat? This is the time to figure it out! But it’s fun because you already know that the large-scale structure of the novel works. So you only have to solve a limited set of problems, and so you can write relatively fast.
This stage is incredibly fun and exciting. I have heard many fiction writers complain about how hard the first draft is. Invariably, that’s because they have no clue what’s coming next. Good grief! Life is too short to write like that! There is no reason to spend 500 hours writing a wandering first draft of your novel when you can write a solid one in 150. Counting the 100 hours it takes to do the design documents, you come out way ahead in time.
About midway through a first draft, I usually take a breather and fix all the broken parts of my design documents. Yes, the design documents are not perfect. That’s okay. The design documents are not fixed in concrete, they are a living set of documents that grows as you develop your novel. If you are doing your job right, at the end of the first draft you will laugh at what an amateurish piece of junk your original design documents were. And you’ll be thrilled at how deep your story has become.
Over the years, I’ve taught the Snowflake method to hundreds of writers at conferences. I’ve also had this article posted here on my web site for a long time, and the page has now been viewed over 2,400,000 times. I’ve heard from many, many writers. Some people love the Snowflake; some don’t. My attitude is that if it works for you, then use it. If only parts of it work for you, then use only those parts.I write my own novels using the Snowflake method. Make no mistake — it’s a fair bit of work. For a long time, I did it the hard way, using Microsoft Word to write the text and Microsoft Excel to manage the list of scenes. Unfortunately, neither of those tools knows about the structure of fiction. Finally, I realized that it would be a whole lot easier to work through the method if the tools were designed specially for fiction.
So one day I decided to create that software. I wanted something that would automate every step that could be automated. The result was a commercial software package I call Snowflake Pro. It makes my own Snowflaking incredibly easier, and it’s now doing the same for zillions of other writers.

TEA
Tea is likely in
China as a medicinal drink. It was first introduced to Portuguese priests and
merchants in China during the 16th century. Drinking tea became
popular in Britain during the 17th century, then the British
introduced it to India. Tea was a healthy and enjoyable beverage for people, Tea
has lots of good benefits for health and people. People can cure sickness with
tea.
Recent studies
suggests that Green Tea can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and some
cancers, it can also promote oral health, reduce blood pressure, make you calm,
help with body weight, provide protection from solar ultraviolet light and
increase bone mineral density. Wow! J Cool!
Consumption of
Green Tea is associated with a lower risk of diseases that causes functional
disability, such as “ stroke and osteoporosis “ in the elderly.
Ice tea and Warm
tea are experimented with bacteria and when the scientists put some bacteria,
the bacteria were vanished and killed. The scientists say that Warm and Cold
Tea can destroy all of the bacteria and parasites in our body.
Black Tea are
known as a Red Tea in China.
There are at least six kinds of tea: white,
yellow, green, oolong, black and post-fermented tea.
Tea are packaged
as Compressed Tea, Tea Bags, Loose Tea, Instant Tea, Bottled and Canned Tea.
Tea that are
packaged in an Instant package are dangerous, it may have sodium and food
coloring.
SO BE CAREFUL WHEN
YOU CHOOSE A TEA! LOOK AT THE FOOD NUTRIENT TABLE.
Now, I’m going to
show you how Tea plants grow. Enjoy!
It takes about 4
to 12 years for a tea plant to bear a seed, and about 3 years before a new
plant is ready for harvesting.
Wow! That’s a long
time!
In addition to a
warmer climate, tea plants needs 127 cm ( 50 inches ) of rainfall a year and
prefer acidic soils. Many high quality tea plants are cultivated at elevations
of up to 1,500 m ( 4,900 ft ) above the sea level.
While in these
heights, tea plants grow more slowly and they acquire better flavor which costs
higher price.
Better tea are
made with smaller leaves, which teas are very famous in China while in Cambodia
people drink tea with bigger leaves.
Tea trees can grow
until 16 m ( 52 ft ) tall if its left undisturbed. But Tea plants bears more
shoots which provide new and softer leaves that increase the quality of the tea.
Pests of tea like mosquito bugs, eat the
leaves so we have to spray the plants with insecticides.
If the place where
tea plants grow is polluted and full of bugs, the tea will be dangerous for
human health. Also, if the people use non-organic fertilizer, it will also be
dangerous for health.
So, if we want
better and healthy Tea, we should care for the environment.

To Reach The Cloud of My Dreams
Why
do people need to have dreams? Having dreams is important. Sometimes, people do
not know what are their dreams, what they want, and what will they do in their
future. It is ironic!
When
people have many dreams about their future, sometimes it can last, and
sometimes it can change. Dreams can be carried as a vision. A vision is what you see in the future and what you want it
to be.
Dreams
and Visions are a bit different; Dreams are only a 50 percent positive, but
Visions are 99 or 100 percent positive in a focus way; how unique you are in
your profession, which university will you go to, what actions will you do to
enter it and who will you collaborate with.
As
what I’ve said before, dreams can change any time. And that happened to me; I
change my dreams for most of the time. When I was 6 years old, I wanted to be a
Doctor. It was quite interesting, but a bit creepy – imagine if a dead body
walks out of the hospital – that was my cousin’s silly tale. They used to tell
me that learning how to be a doctor is fun, so I thought maybe I could be a
doctor one day.
Then,
somehow it changed when I started to read many books and watch designing &
science programs in TV channels.
From
every knowledge that I’ve got, I want to be a great writer that writes cool
stories and a great Animal Scientist with a hobby of interior designing. Time
after time I’ve realized that this wasn’t just a dream, but a vision. And I’m very sure
about it.
All
that I did to reach those visions are my passion.
A passion is something that you really love to do all the time. I’ve been
reading lots of books like novels, encyclopedia, and biography, surfing the internet
and watching some TV shows of knowledge to reach them. Those are my true
passion.
Doing
those stuffs is my everyday life to fill in my spare time. I enjoy most of my
time doing them. Sometimes I go with my Mom to the places I love most after she
finishes her work in her office, like; the
book store, the library, the movie theater, and go to the National park on
holiday weekends.
I
don’t really enjoy most of the libraries here, because they only have a few
literalists. The book store is my most sacred place. Without a book in this
world, makes my world, and I think other people’s world will be narrow.
Books
spread our imagination and dreams wider; they fill up the blank pieces of paper
with ink which I’ve always imagined that each drop is a thought or memory that
you share to the world. Writing a book is to write down your feelings and clear
your full working mind into a calm one.
It’s
like writing poetries and letters to your family or other loved ones. You would share your
feelings to your Mom, wouldn’t you?
Well, writing a book is like that too.
I
hope you now know that reading and writing is an important thing…
Well, now, back to the topic.
A
dream is like a cloud, a cloud that floats way up in the sky. And under that
big cloud, there are some small clouds which form your life steps. You must
walk step by step up to the stair clouds to reach the big cloud. Those steps
can help you to reach it, like the stairs that leads to your favorite room in
your house.
What
I’ve done in my life are my steps, like entering this speech contest is my
opportunity to be a famous entrepreneur. And I’ll do my best to make my family
proud of me.
When
I grow up, I want to have college in a foreign country. But I don’t know where,
because I’m still considering it. I realized, I have to search some information
for a college. Some of those became my
judgment; among others are Juilliard University, Reed College, and Cambridge
University. I think I’d prefer to go to Cambridge. But, how can I get a scholarship to go to that
university? I have to do that by doing actions.
My actions are searching information of each
university, study hard and study smart on subjects that I love
most, ask other people who has an experience of studying there for more
information, surf the internet and read lots and lots of books.
Study
hard is to focus on the subject that I love and that’s connected to my dreams.
And Study smart is to find a way to reach my dreams faster. Choose an effective
way and decide how creative/unique I am in that profession.
After
I’ve done the three of them; vision, passion, and action, I think I’m already
near my dream cloud. So when I go to college and then graduate from it, I need
to collaborate with someone that has
the same dream as I do, also a kind hearted & truthful one, because none of
the professions can stand alone, but they need to synergy with each other.
Example,
if you want to make a movie, you don’t just need an actor or actress to do it.
You’ll also need a camera expert, anime/cartoon maker, sound man and some
musicians, right? If they work together, they could make amazing movies, don’t
you think?
Who
knows, maybe you and your partner can make a company together and make a
success. Finally, you’re in the cloud of your dreams! J
