I’m not a person who has a talent that born with, but I do have a talent that I have practiced and really interested in. My talent is dancing, I fell in love with dance since senior high school, and I performed dancing in school’s new year, Christmas celebrations and some other important events continuously for about six years. At first,when I was a beginner, I can’t dance very well, but I can gain lots of joy and satisfaction from dancing, I just won’t feel exhausted when dancing, and my teachers also encourage me a lot which lead me have more interested in dance and put much more effort in it. Until junior high school, I focused on jazz when I was in senior high, and then mainly focused on hip-pop and urban dance when junior high. Jazz and hip-pop are actually totally different style, so I truly had a tough time in the transition period. I still remember that there’s a year that I felt so depressed in dance, since I found my movements seem so weak in videos, it should be very big and powerful. I can’t find any solutions, even if I practice more, it doesn’t work. Then, I began to observe my teachers movement more, and imitate her movements, I found it helped me improved a lot, since teacher has a good balance, no matter in body or movements. Then, the problem is about power, the teacher told me if I know which movement need to be powerful, which need to be weak, since the dance movements will have layers and be powerful when there’s contrast. After that, I practice more with this correct method, luckily, I find my way. Now, I even form my own style of dancing, I’m so proud of it. In UM, I also join two dance clubs, locked and virus, which means that I have many chances to practice and perform in university, I joined almost all the important events and competition about dance in school so far, and I’ll keep dancing, as a hobby, also as a part of my life.  

My Chinese name is 徐文希(Wenxi Xu). Xu is the 11th most common last name in China. The Xu’s and Huang’s share the same forefather, The Xu’s were dukes under Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. 40% of people whose surname is Xu live in Jiangsu, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Sichuan province, and 30% live in Hubei, Shandong, Fujian, Anhui province, and I was born in Hubei, Wuhan. 徐(Xu) is the 150th in the Song version of "Hundred Family Surnames." By 2010, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, Xu was ranked 11th in population in China, which has a population of nearly 20 millions, and account for 1.43% of  Chinese population. 文(Wen) was first seen in Oracle, the original meaning is “texture” or “tattoo”, but later has many extended meanings, like culture, literature, civilization, astronomy and so on. Moreover, Wen is also a radical of Chinese characters and one of the common surnames in China. But my parents should choose the meaning of culture and civilization, and hope me to be a person who have both of the personalities. 希(Xi) was originally means embroidery, and the extended meaning is precious, valuable. Moreover, the interesting thing is that, I really think that I’m unique and special, at least in my eyes. I don’t know if my name truly have a effect with my personalities, but I really have the personalities which match my name’s meaning, and I also really want to become this kind of person. My English name is actually gained from a English name book, which includes thousand of English names, I choose Sigrid, since “Si” is very much pronounce like my Chinese name Xi, and Sigrid sounds very unique.  It’s actually a Scandinavian given name for women, means “victory”, “wisdom”, “beautiful”. What’s more, I really draw much attention because of my English name, I was studied in International Junior High School, so there are many Foreign teachers in our school, and I found many of my teachers really like to name me to answer questions, and call out my name for no reason. One day, in my economic teacher’s class,  the teacher is the vice president of our school, an English Gentleman. He was looking at our name list for choosing a student to answer a question, then he chose me, “Sigrid! it’s a very unique name, I know where this from, it’s from a swiss opera….” he muttered and smiled to me. I can’t remember clearly what he said, but this kind of thing happens frequently. Now, I’m very pleased with both of my Chinese and English name, I always think that they bring me good luck, and I always feel so proud with my name and the meaning of name. About my future children’s name, no matter it’s a boy or girl, rather than name them in a complex way, I’ll name them simple but special, and hope their name can also bring them good luck.

This “dragonfly” bracelet is my birthday present get from my sister. She is a fashion designer, so when I first saw this gorgeous bracelet, I was not that surprised, since I know that she has a good taste, but after she explain the implied meaning about this bracelet and this brand, I was totally moved by this birthday present, and also fell in love with this beautiful brand. She said, my personality is very much like this brand, very special, full of creativity, live my life in my own style,  and hope love can always surround me. This bracelet is from the brand named Uno de 50 which was born in Madrid in the late nineties, and this brand came out just for finding a new jewelry style that is unique and creative. So, this brand’s born is very much like a revolution in the traditional jewelry industry. The creativity, unique style, free spirit, handcrafted in Spain are the four main parts in this brand. The creativity is about they create genuine pieces that drive their customers to freely express their lifestyle and their design allows their customers to express their personality. They have unique style since the alloy used by the brand is one of its main distinctive characteristics, the alloy covers organic designs inspired by everyday objects and shapes in nature. Free spirit is about freedom, everything they designed is very bold unique, and innovative. Moreover, all their pieces are handcrafted in Madrid as a brand that does not renounce their quality guarantee.Actually, the most attractive part in this brand is that they only make 50 units for each designs, which means that if buy their products, then you become the lucky 2 percent(1/50). So, how’s this rule formed? In the late nineties, José Azulay acquired UNOde50 to create unique and different jewelry with original designs and few units of each one. Something select, unique and with personality. The first UNOde50 collections were made up of only 50 units of each design. A commitment to quality and exclusivity forced to evolve because of the brand’s success. Currently, UNOde50 continues making all of its pieces using traditional methods as if they were one-of-a-kind, also presenting 50-unit Limited Editions with each collection. All in all, this bracelet means so much to me, it just like a symbol of myself, and I almost take this bracelet every day, I always think that it can bring me good luck, and give me a sense of belonging. I think it can be sale for 0.02 dollars, which is from the name of this brand:1/50.

This is a mini notepad that can get from any bookstore, or website like amazon, eBay, etc. Very normal, not cool. I also think in this way before, however, I changed my mind after using it, and now I want to persuades you to believe that it’s actually cool. I can still remember the first time I used it was in a café, I was reading a traveling magazine, and many places in the magazine attracted me, so I wrote them done in this notepad. After that, I regarded this notepad as my wishing lists, I gradually form the habit to write done the specific information and my personal feelings about the countries, cities, specific stores, hotels, restaurants, even the clothes, daily uses, etc, which I like in this mini notepad. I like to “collect” these interesting, fancy, unique places and objects, although I can’t actually own them, at least they belong to me in this notepads. Some of the places and objects has been ruled out, since I finished them up or for some reason that they don’t attract me anymore. So, this notepad isn’t cool enough for itself, but it becomes super cool since I use it in a cool way, and I highly recommend you to use this normal notepad in your cool way, and please share it to me!

ernolaszlo is the best skin care product I have ever used. I started to get acne from junior high school. During these years, I almost used all the brands recommended to treat my acne. Just like many people else, I spent lot of time and money trying to self-treat my acne. But it’s so hard to figure out which product really works. I’ve used origins, Lancôme, Elizabeth Arden, Kiehl’s, fresh, SK2, etc. Some of them has a little effect, but there’s no product that can actually cure my skin, and the result is that my skin becomes super dry and very sensitive. What’s more, the acne still breakout continuously and even left many acne marks. This problem has been annoying me for many years until I met ernolaszlo, I know it really sounds like an ad, but it’s not! I began to use this brand since this product was recommended by Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn also said: Half of my beauty comes from my mother, and half comes from erno laszlo. Yes, I admit, I just attracted by these titles, but ernolaszlo really works! The set of products I use includes Phelityl Night Cream, Hydraphel Skin Supplement, and the Hydra-Therapy Skin Vitality Treatment. After using one week, my skin looks better obviously, then, I stick to use these products for about three month, the acne breakout seldom, and the acne marks are slowly disappearing. i think I’ll keep using ernolaszlo for the rest of my life, I truly in love with this brand, and this must be the coolest object I own in present.
