Savoy Autos: 2008 Honda Element

According to Wikipedia, the Honda Element is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Honda and released for the first time in the US in 2003. Powering the Element is Honda's 2.4 Liter K-Engine, an i-VTEC four-cylinder engine that also sees duty in the Accord and CR-V. For the Element's purposes, it produces 156 hp (116 kW) at 5500 rpm and 160 ft·lbf (217 N·m) of torque at 4500 rpm. In mid June 2007 Honda started selling the 2008 Element. The only change from the 2007 Element was the addition of the color Royal Blue Pearl for the SC trim.

Yet we can surely still find more good testimonials about the Honda Element. From the official Honda site, it is stated that "Just one glance tells you the Element was built for those who live their own unique way." Along with Real Time 4WD™, i-VTEC® Engine, and Drive-by-Wire™ Throttle System; Honda Element offers flexible freedom for its 64 Seating Options, 77 Cubic Feet of Cargo Room, Configurable Seating and also offers extreme functionality through its Wide-Opening Cargo Doors, Clamshell Tailgate, and Removable Skylight (4WD models).

A selling site performs Honda Element as a vehicle which is designed to maximize space, whether for people and/or cargo in a fairly small package, with driving characteristics similar to a small sedan. It aims to appeal to a young and active people. J.D. Power and Associates customer satisfaction and quality research studies even name the Honda Element as the most reliable Compact Multi-Activity Vehicle.

A little trick to write in English


For us who speak English (only) as second language, composing sentences in good English would be quite a problem. Yet I believe that there are no reasons to give up since we have actually equipped with a set of sufficient tool. What does the tool consist of?

Today I’d like to talk in the context of Microsoft since Microsoft Office is apparently still the commonest software in Indonesia.

After observing several sources related to thing you are interested in, let's grab some editing help.

1. The Red and Green warning

We should have aware that Microsoft Word performs red zigzag line each time we mistype and green zigzag line each any grammatical mistakes occurs. Make notice to those suggestions, although the final decision is always right in your hands. Before pay attention to any suggestion, please make sure that the language setting has set properly. You can check or reset it by clicking “Tools-language-set language” and choose which English you prefer to.

2. Deciding a precise term

Do you have a word but still feel unsure whether the word does not fit the context or not? Prove your intuition by putting the cursor on the word and right-click it. Spot the “synonym” option, and voila ... unless your term is very specific, some options are available right there. Don’t forget to ensure that your original word is in singular form.

Using thesaurus is yet another reliable way.

3. Dictionary

I know, this point is very much an old strategy, but what else can I say? However we can use some cool dictionaries to assist us. I’d suggest urbandictionary.com and Dreams Dictionary (I have blogged it here) for quick answer. Otherwise, you can use an application like Pocket Oxford Dictionary, which you can download here.

Do you find this article useful? Share me for more questions and show your own trick too. Happy writing!

Rainbow by Jay Chou

Rainbow (Cai Hong) is one of the tracks available in On the Run album by Jay Chou. Also, the parts of this song gently decorated some scenes in Jay Chou’s Secret movie.

The guitar strings plucking in this Rainbow is very attracting that I deeply crushed on. I thought it was a chain of sentimental-romantic lyric, but as I reveal the meaning, the song directly drags my mood into its temperature. Well, although the lyric tell an embarrassed and regretful expression, yet I still feel that this one is quite touchy. Is this song soooo me?


I guess the rainbow told in this song performs only one color: it is blue (yeah I know it's not a proper time to joke, peace out!)

*the blue fonts are originally not included in the literary translation of the lyric but merely belong to my interpretation. The hanyu pinyin lyrics could be viewed on my comment section. the image was retrieved from this URL*


Rainbow

Where is the rainbow, could you please tell me?

Could you give my wish back to me?

Why is the sky still so quiet?

The clouds accumulate above me


Do you have a face mask to give?

It is because of my too much talk, now it will never be true

Time is probably a remedy

But it is also the poison I'm now taking in


* Without seeing your smile, how can I fall asleep?

Your shadow is so close yet I cannot hug you

Without the earth, the sunshine is still be able to rise

So although there isn’t any reason, I will continue to leave alone


** You want to leave; I know it is simple for you

You said trust was the problem between us

If we separate, then would you please not to remove my love?

In the end I will pretend that I finally understand
