My last post was written in August?? Wow! So many things have occured since then.
Not the time to say more from the time being though, sorry! But soon...
Languages...I eventually am able to work more with English as I was used to be. Even though, it is not enough according to me, if ever one day I find this enough ;) Anyway, I love working with languages. It has become my passion.
Not only English, but also my own language which is French and I have begun to learn Spanish for several day. I have many goals that I want to reach and am working toward them...slowly but surely. It is used to say that it's better not to say too much before it is reached so, when it is the time, I say more.
Here is links towards items in French that I shared on LingQ. I hope you'll appreciate them:

I would appreciate to hear from you. Give me your feedback :)
First, we're happy to announce that the team has identified and fixed the issue with the YouTube conduit; you can now find and add videos from YouTube to your library and posts. As always, thanks for your patience!
The other news we have today is about a new addition to the Six Apart family: TypePad Micro, a new free level of TypePad that is streamlined for microblogging. We see a new form of blogging emerging that lives between the quick status updates of Twitter and Facebook and the long-form posts of "classic" blogging; TypePad Micro is designed to meet that need. You can read more about TypePad Micro in Chris Alden's post on the Everything TypePad blog.
A lot of the new capabilities we've added to TypePad this year were actually inspired by some of the best things about Vox: favoriting, member profiles, a dashboard to follow other bloggers, and easy ways to post content from other social media sites. But the things that make Vox different from TypePad are still there: Vox has always been -- and still is -- the best place for "friends and family" blogging, where you're in control over who sees what. TypePad, on the other hand, is built for the blogger who wants, no, craves, attention.
Do you have a passion or interest you want to share with people beyond your Vox neighborhood? If so, we'd love it if you tried out TypePad Micro. Maybe you've always wanted to start that obsessive blog that's just about waffle restaurants. Or want a place to share videos of your favorite band (Jonas Brothers, anyone? Anyone? ...). TypePad Micro's great for those topic-specific blogs. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think.
On the Vox front, our designers are working on some cool new themes (coming soon!). We'd also love to hear your thoughts about where we should take Vox in the coming year. What are the key things you'd like to see for Vox? If you've had a chance to use TypePad this year, what are the features there that we should bring over to Vox? And, if you're thinking big thoughts, how could we connect the Vox and TypePad communities in order to bring together bloggers and their shared passions? Your feedback is really important to us, so please leave a comment here, or shoot me a message.
And again, thanks for your patience as we found and fixed the YouTube bug!

As many of you have noticed, the YouTube Conduit is not working. I am so sorry about this; I know how frustrating it is.
The team is looking into how to get this fixed and I will update you as soon as I hear something. In the meantime, not all is lost... There is a work-around for posting videos.
When you're in the Compose Screen, just click on "embed." Ignore the fact that it says "Widget" before everything because you can definitely use this to embed videos as well. You'll just need to input the embed code from the video, enter a title (if you want) and hit OK.
It might not show up perfectly in your compose screen, but when you hit "Save," your video should appear just the way you wanted it to.
Hopefully this will allow you to keep posting videos while we figure out what's happening on our end.
As always, thanks for your patience.
Go forth and fill your libraries with media.
Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.
I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.
I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.
Cheers,
Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.
We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.
I will keep you posted.
Thank you for being so patient.
It's been a while since I wrote on this blog last.
To tell the truth, I have spent the toughest time in my lifetime: my father was diagnosed as having cancer. His cancer is in its terminal stage and cannot be removed in the operation.
No one in my family noticed his illness until he said he was so tired that he stayed in his car while we went shopping together.
He was so shocked to hear that and so was I. I could do nothing but cried everyday.
so tough... and so much tears...
I couldn't write how tough it was.
However, after a long struggle, I have come to appreciate the time we are given.
I am very busy taking care of him in my parents' home. (as I live next to their house, I can stay with him any time.)
I am very happy to do so. Actually I feel happiest in these ten years or so.
I will write on this blog again. This blog will be a wonderful memory.
Blog Action Day is every October 15th, when blogger are asked to post something about a single issue to show our strength and conviction as an online community. It's a great way to feel connected to the greater good, and the participation of so many bloggers to support the world's leading non-profit organizations is something you can do to help, right now. By blogging today, you're supporting some of the world's leading non-profits and sharing your voice for change.
This year's topic is climate change, and we'd love to read your thoughts on the topic. If you participate, leave us a link to your post in the comments, so we know to check out your post!
Go to www.blogactionday.org to learn more, get a badge for your blog showing your participation, and see some ideas for your post on climate change.
Can't wait to read your posts!

I have been cleaning and tidying up my kitchen for about two weeks.
Honestly, I haven't finished it yet :(
I have been reading 'Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui' for a month, and I found an impressive episode in that book.
One man decided to tidy up his kitchen and eat all the food he had in his kitchen. And he also decided not to buy any food until he finished eating everything.
Can you imagine how long it took for him to do that?
It took eight weeks!!
He ate everything except ten cans of food he didn't like and happily he went shopping to buy some food.
Actually that's exactly what I wanted to do.
I did start to manage not to buy anything but vegetables or things I am running out of.
I am so happy to see there is a little food and well organized in the refrigerator.
I will go on to the food stuck under the sink.
I have been too sleepy for this week.
Since my son came back to school last week, I had to wake up early in the morning.
My baby often wakes up in the night and kept me awake for a while many times.
It is so tough for me. I usually need eight hour sleep.
I took a long nap in the afternoon many times this week.
I have so many things to do in my mind, but I can't do so as I would like to, which makes me frustrated.
I will meet one of my friends tomorrow, and I hope we can be inspired by each other to learn English more.
