Do you guys know the band Guns n' Roses? They are coming to Taiwan(where I live ) on May 10th for a live concert! Too bad everyone was too fast, we didn't get the tickets in time!

I've heard of them, but I haven't ever listened to them. I'm so sorry you didn't get any tickets. :((

Sorry you didn’t get the tickets :( it’s cool you live in Taiwan!!!

People are so crazy for concerts! I've never gone to one before 'cause the tickets are expensive and hard to get!

Really!? I don't know about that!( I live in Taiwan too!) I'm sure you'll get the tickets next time!

I've heard of them before, but I don't know them too well. That's a bummer! You might still hear them if you stand outside the stadium?

I live in a different city from there, so maybe not possible!

Hi everyone! Summer is just around the corner, and I'm too excited to wait! I would like to ask what color I should choose for my summer background! Ocean Blue? Sand? Pastel to resemble ice cream? Pls reply!

Thanks everyone! I changed my background to a greenish blue hue (to resemble the ocean) for summer!

Ocean blue or pastels sound nice! Maybe a nice yellow?

I love pastels, and Ocean Blue is lovely as well! Maybe you could go for Cotton Candy pink or a soft yellow tone?

have ya'll read Gooney Bird Green by Lois Lowerly

I haven't, actually I've never heard of it before, but I am a huge fan of Lois Lowry! Maybe you've heard of The Giver Quartet?

I like Lois Lowry's books too! My fav is Number The Stars!

Nope, but now that you mention it, it’s on my to-read list!
