Music Video

Why are you sharing this song?
It's a classical song for christmas. But I like the version Taylor Swift sings the most! Christmas day is my favorite holiday during a year. And now, christmas is coming! I am going to have a christmas party with friends, and I am going to sing this one to everyone! One for celebrating the day, the reason why I share this on my blog is due to the lyrics. When the first time I heard this song, I still can remember clearly that I did not treat it as a happy song, even though the melody sounds jolly. I felt upset, because I had totally same feeling as the lyrics. I listened to it again and again, felt like that she was singing my story. And it did remind me to think of what happened last year. It's a very special song to me!

What is the meaning of the lyrics?
I think it is a girl telling what she thinks in her mind. She had a beloved boy friend last christmas, but they broke up. She gave her full heart to the boy. However, the boy didn't treat her as well as she did, even broke her heart. She was absolutely sad, and felt herself was fooled by the boy. This year, she started to think of this memory, and she got something to tell the boy, that she would not be fooled again! And she might give her heart to someone else, who would cherish it.

GIRAFFE DOCUMENTARY

Why an I sharing this documentray?

I just went to Taipei Zoo this Monday. It has been two years since last time I went  there. Among all the animals, I love giraffe the most. The  leopard print really catches my eyes. It's so beautiful that I would want to take a look of it  as detail as I could. I am interested in the way how giraffes communicate with each other, since last time I didn't see it. 

Summary of the documentary:

The documentary introduces giraffes in an interesting way. It introduces the appearances of the giraffes briefly and shows how giraffes' daily life. Also, it shows a little part of how they communicate with each other, which is what I am interested in. But what makes this video the most different and interesting is that that hosts of this video add funny dubs when giraffes interact with other animals. It's funny though, but did not mention that detail info I want to know. I think I should find out more information to get closer to them!
