珊蒂寫字樓

Sandy今天起的特早，因為身體不太舒服，所以起來坐坐。
最近發現了一個很棒的網站，在這跟你們一起分享，
這是美國NASA網站，每日推出衛星拍攝的天文照片，

 
今天也來放一首歌，
這首歌不想放MV，因為旋律真的很好聽，想單純聽他的音樂，
AMG音樂網站曾這樣形容這個歌手:
"...氣氛好、感覺對的音樂，簡單的空心吉他搭配溫柔和煦的嗓音，
讓人感覺輕鬆而舒適…"

下一個英文有獎徵答又快要推出囉！
Closer 這部電影是有關城市男女的愛情故事，
看了有很多的感觸，
為了不要破壞大家的興致，所以我就不透露劇情了。
直接看Preview吧！
下一次的有獎徵答會從中出題喔~

如果你有機會上國外的聊天室，就會發現很多人使用英文的縮寫，
這些縮寫像是密碼一樣，讓人一頭霧水。其實為了加快打字的速度，
這些縮寫的發展已經行之有年囉！讓我們先一起來學常見的縮寫吧 ^^
ASAP 儘快 (As soon as possible)
BRB 馬上回來 (Be right back)
LOL 哈哈大笑 (Laughing out loud)
ROTFL 捧腹大笑 (Rolling on the floor laughing)
BTW 順便一提 (By the way)
OIC 喔，原來如此 (Oh, I see)
CUL 待會兒見 (See you later)
OTOH 反之 (On the other hand)
GMTA 英雄所見略同 (Great minds think alike)
IMHO 個人認為 (In my humble opinion)
RUOK 你還好嗎？(Are you OK?)
TIA 先謝了 (Thanks in advance)
J/K 只是開玩笑 (Just kidding)
TTFN 暫時告辭 (Ta-ta for now)
以下是縮寫的列表，很多吧？！
不用特別去記去背這些縮寫，挑一兩個常用的話語記起來就好，
其他的看到的時候再上來查就可以了唷 ^^

James Taylor of 2000
You've got a friend; you've got me.
I'd like to give this song as a reward to one of the winner of champion1--"ryoxxxxx" .
"You've Got a Friend" is one of my favorite songs.
Whenever I listen to it, I thought of those loving and caring friends around me.
So this song is like a good friend to me.
No matter I was happy or sad; I'd feel understood through listening to the song.
"You've Got a Friend" is James Taylor's number one song.
It won two Grammys -- one for James (Best Pop Male Vocal Performance)
and one for Carole (Song of the Year).
The song, from the album "Mud Slide Slim And The Blue Horizon",
was recorded in the spring of 1971. The singer, James Taylor,
was born March 12, 1948, in Boston. He got some mental and
drug problems while he was younger. But there is no denying
that he is a perfect singer. The way he sang was plain, deep
and OLD!! Yeah, I'm addicted to his OLD voice!!

You've got a friend. Lyrics
Album:Mud Slide Slim And The Blue Horizon
Written by by Carole King
Recorded by James Taylor
When you're down and troubled
and you need a helping hand
and nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
and soon I will be there
to brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
and you know whereever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
all you have to do is call
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend.
If the sky above you
should turn dark and full of clouds
and that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
and soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
all you got to do is call
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don't you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you've got to do is call.
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Blue James

You've got a friend; you've got me.
