'A series of unfortunate events'

PUBLIC_FLAG_#{@journal.pf_int} RSS feed of Englishlover's latest journal entries Feb 14th 2009 06:19
I'm really interested in children's books. Actually, one of the reasons why I love children’s books is my English ability is not good. I also find them difficult to read.
If I have my own house after marriage, I’ll make a special room filled with a wide variety of interesting books. My place will be a small library in the neighborhood, and little kids will feel free to come to my house and read what they’d like to. Sometimes I’ll play the piano for them and play with them. Isn’t it a great plan? To do so, I have to win the lottery in advance! Please don’t laugh at me. It’s just a kidding!
If someone asks me, “Which do you prefer fiction books or non-fiction books?” I would say I like fiction better than non-fiction. My imagination is getting bigger and bigger while reading fiction books. I also feel fun when something impossible is something possible.
These days, I’m reading the books, ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’, written by Lemony Snicket. The total books are thirteen. Do you know why they are 13? I’ll give you a question. What’s the date today? Yeah, it’s Feb. 13th. Can you cross your mind anything bad superstition pertaining to the date? What I mean is that today is Friday 13th. This series books has few happy endings like ‘happily ever after’. They are full of continuous unpleasant things which occur to three children of the Baudelaire; Violet, Klaus, and Sunny with the beginning of their parents’ sudden death. I’m almost done reading the second book. The movie was released in 2004 based on this story. After reading whole story, I am going to compare the books with the movie.
A few months ago, I had unfortunate events during one day. In the very early morning, my room was locked when I returned after taking a shower. I had to go and ask the unkind RA to unlock it. Around lunch time, I dropped by my room to get some food ASAP, but my fridge was almost empty; it only had a little amount of orange juice. I spilt my jeans in a hurry. In the evening, a red car splashed my clothes with water on my way to the grocery store. It was a terrible day, wasn’t it?
I hope you’ll have a great weekend without any bad events!

It sounds really great to have a small library at home and invite little friends!
But, I agree with you in that it should be needed to win a lottery in advance. lol.
Never mind, it was just a joke. ^^ You can do it enough!
