真巧


我發現5/1結束後就要進入100天倒數了

考試症候群.....


花了幾乎一整天的時間,才在剛才寫完系統程式的作業,感覺卻像是用盡所有的力氣去把塞在谷口的大石移走,迎面而來的卻是大水滅頂,那是一種令人窒息的悲哀;而這幾個禮拜我好像陶侃一樣不斷得搬來搬去,為了像是收復中原這種幾乎不大可能的夢想而努力著。

事實上我對幾乎所以的科目都有濃厚的興趣,但是也僅限於在上課和讀書時,考試的壓力重重落下時,患得患失的心理又吞噬了所有熱情,只要不準備考試就會心神不寧,而常常也犧牲了平常的活動;如果是一個禮拜的考試那也還不算太嚴重,但一個月對我來說實在太多了。一整個月都沒有怎麼做重訓,也都沒有參加什麼活動,陪伴著我的只有課本與作業,這大概就是在學術圈生活的感覺吧,對我來說實在太單調枯燥了。

最嚴重的是,考試佔據了大部分的思考時間,生活上的大小事情,常常處理的很不好,也常常沒有辦法對自己關心的人做適當的表達。我沒有能力付出愛,也沒有能力回報別人的愛,這樣的想法不斷的在心中重複;尤其是當感覺到生命正在燃燒,而我卻把珍貴的時間用在跟一生的幸福關係不大的考試上時,特別feeling like a loser......

我想我是太過obsessive,所以常常得問自己:「我到底是不是真的喜歡,還是因為得不到而特別想追求?」而事實上我永遠都無法回答,就算是有人告訴我他對我這個問題的答案,我也不會接受,我只是在逃避,結果連原來的答案是什麼都找不到了。

Love of my life



在Jim Brickman的所有曲子中,我最喜歡Love of my life。它是在Destiny這張專輯裡面發表的,不過他的填詞以及提供歌手發揮空間的譜曲,似乎讓它的知名度比主打的Destiny還要高。

它的填詞是充滿了LIFE、LOVE、FAITH、ANGEL等等充滿生命、信仰的字眼,基本上是把愛當成一生的信仰,給予最高的崇敬及渴求,這也是為什麼Love of my life會被用在婚禮上了。

其實我會這麼喜歡這首曲子,讓我頗恐慌的,它是比較符合適婚年齡附近的聽眾群吧......我這個未滿20歲的"kid"會相信這些,不知道是太幼稚還是太成熟.....

所以我對於沒有那種感覺的女生,儘管有點好感,還是會抱著寧缺勿濫的態度,不會主動去追求。可是對真的有感覺的人,又會猶豫到底要不要行動,能不能接受被拒絕,或是即便得到回應,又會不會因為太多的期待以及信仰,帶給雙方太多壓力及失望,毀了我珍惜的關係

這個問題還是要自己去尋找答案,靠不了別人。只是這個過程實在不好受......只好不斷寫東西跟聽音樂來抒發鬱悶,也許因為這樣有人還會認為我談戀愛了咧.....


I am amazed
When I look at you
I see you smiling back at me
It's like all my dreams come true

I am afraid
If I lost you girl
I'd fall through the cracks
And lose my track in this crazy lonely world

Sometimes it's so hard to believe
When the nights can be so long
And faith give me the strength
And kept me going on

Chorus:
You are the love of my life
And I'm so glad you found me
You are the love of my life
Baby put your arms around me
I guess this is how it feels
When you finally find something real
My angel in the night
You are the love
The love of my life

Now here you are
With midnight closing in
You take my hand as our shadows dance
With moonlite on your skin

I look in your eyes
I'm lost inside your kiss
I think if I'd never met you
About all the things I'd missed

Sometimes it's so hard to believe
When a love can be so strong
And faith give me the strength
And keep me holding on

(chorus)

(instrumental bridge)

減重計畫

現在已經差不多瘦下來四公斤了 ,而且重訓的成果也看的出來
不過還是希望能夠在瘦一點,我很貪心的把目標放在六十公斤,到了六十公斤就一定要停止節食
可是就我現在瘦得越來越慢的狀況看來,我還要節食很久.....

大概是因為我回家就吃一堆東西的關係....本來我還很克制,在家也都吃兩餐
最近因為在家裡真的很無聊,悶了一天,就會忍受不住口腹之慾的誘惑.....
再加上我媽每次都買一堆吃的東西、或是煮一堆菜,我都會吃到吃不下才停止.....
開始懷疑我會不會一個暑假內就胖回去.....

I can't agree with him more

Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.

做事情得靠立即的衝勁


最近特別有這種感覺,在最該解決一件事的時候,如果一時猶豫而不敢下決定,接下來的時間裡要去解決這件事的心理阻力會愈大。
總會覺得,當時沒有去解決,現在去說、去做會不會太遲了?而害怕表現出焦急、脆弱與恐懼的情緒,也會漸漸的增強。
其實事情拖到了最後,只想聽到一句「太遲了」,才能把心頭上的重擔放下,繼續前行。

好像邱吉爾曾經說過:「在前途茫茫時,仍能夠堅定前進,這就是勇氣。」
希望我也能夠有這樣的勇氣

Taiwan LCD firm acquires local rival

TAIPEI AU Optronics, the world's third-biggest maker of liquid-crystal displays, will buy local rival Quanta Display for $2.2 billion in stock, seeking to match the scale of South Korean competitors.
AU Optronics will issue one stock for every 3.5 shares of Quanta Display, AU said Friday in a statement. At Friday's closing share prices, the acquisition would be worth about 71.7 billion Taiwan dollars, or $2.2 billion, a premium of 15 percent.
LCD companies are seeking greater efficiency to profit from surging flat- panel television demand after screen prices tumbled 17 percent in the past year. The combined company would boast 18 percent of industry capacity, compared with 19 percent each for Samsung Electronics and LG.Philips LCD, based on figures from DisplaySearch, a U.S. research company.

"The merger will help lower costs by expanding production capacity," said David Hsieh, a Taipei-based vice president of DisplaySearch. "The combination will narrow the gap with Korean companies."
The Au Optronics transaction is the biggest acquisition in Taiwan since Fubon Financial Holding, Taiwan's third- largest financial service company, bought Taipei Bank for 80.3 billion dollars in August 2002, according to Bloomberg data. .
"This merger will help consolidate and restore order to the LCD industry, and make better use of financial resources," the chairman of AU Optronics, K.Y. Lee, said at a news conference in Taipei. "A merger is not a mathematical question, it's a chemical issue. The real task comes after the two are combined."
Industry earnings are rebounding as consumers spurn bulky cathode-ray TVs for sleeker flat-screen models. LG.Philips, a venture between LG Electronics of South Korea and Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands, is set to report a fourth consecutive quarter of profit Monday, according to analysts.
Manufacturers are betting on further gains in demand because of falling prices and soccer's World Cup this summer. Panel makers are poised to raise spending on factories 13 percent to $11.6 billion this year, according to DisplaySearch.
"Taiwan's LCD industry needs consolidation to become more efficient and competitive," said Tim Li, the chief financial officer at Quanta Computer, the world's largest notebook computer maker and parent of Quanta Display.
After the transaction, Quanta will hold about 6 percent of AU Optronics, making it the second-biggest shareholder after Benq, which holds 9 percent. Benq is Taiwan's biggest mobile phone maker.
K.Y. Lee, Benq's chief executive, will remain chairman of AU Optronics after the acquisition, the statement said. The company will create a new position of vice chairman for Quanta Display's vice chairman, Liang Tsu-chen, it said.
"There will not be any job cuts after the transaction," Liang said.

Just how much fun can one man have with one image?

I've had a lot of requests to do the Muppets, but this kind of roleplaying has already been explored by their marketing team for cards, posters, lunchboxes, etc. etc. etc. Instead, I've presented you with a fine selection of bears from Australia, the United Kingdom and the good old US of A.
At last, Luke and Han get to rescue a genuine princess.

CIA - The World Factbook -- United Arab Emirates


CIA - The World Factbook -- United Arab Emirates

The Trucial States of the Persian Gulf coast granted the UK control of their defense and foreign affairs in 19th century treaties. In 1971, six of these states - Abu Zaby, 'Ajman, Al Fujayrah, Ash Shariqah, Dubayy(Dubai), and Umm al Qaywayn - merged to form the United Arab Emirates (UAE). They were joined in 1972 by Ra's al Khaymah. The UAE's per capita GDP is on par with those of leading West European nations. Its generosity with oil revenues and its moderate foreign policy stance have allowed the UAE to play a vital role in the affairs of the region.

いま、会いにゆきます


這部片兩個禮拜以前就已經到手了,但是特別留起來回家跟家人一起看。劇情雖然很通俗,但是對於每個細節的描寫和安排都恰到其位,讓我想要去買我第一本的網路小說......

從狼與羊開始,我好像變的很容易克制不住情緒,看到感動的部份眼淚就會充滿眼框,尤其是看到劇中人物掉淚的時候,眼淚都會不斷的流出來.... 可能是最近特別覺得,身邊的家人和朋友都是這一生最美好的禮物,儘管不完美,至少我們一起走過。祐司問巧說:「是我害死媽媽的嗎?」時,是我情感起伏最大的一段,我想,如果我是巧的話,我大概會忍不住抱住祐司大哭一場吧.... 後來巧狂奔到廢墟找零,兩人離別的那段,我跟著兩人一起掉了眼淚,這也是我唯一真正哭出來的一段,對這種場景完全無法抗拒.....

跟著電影中人物一起歡笑、一起掉淚,等於自己活過了那一段,算是比閱讀還要少一些再創造過程,日本的電影常常能夠給我許多這樣的經驗,而我到最近才真正能從其中感受到幸福、感受到生命的力量,讓我能夠在絮亂的社會價值中不忘記該珍惜的所有。


接下來是評論:

女主角看起來沒有劇照上好看,但是不影響電影的質感啦.... 演的不錯,但是並沒有感到特別傑出....

男主角中村獅童真的很特別喔,外型就有樸拙的感覺,講起話來也是呆呆的,充分表現巧的特質,把巧演得活靈活現。可能是因為我是男生的關係,對巧特別有認同感,特別會去感受那單純的愛與充滿傻氣的想法─"我沒有給零帶來幸福"等等。其實我覺得巧是這部片子中最成功的角色
小朋友我就不多說了,總之,演的很"小朋友",帶點經過大風大浪的早熟,表現不錯。

取景是在鄉間,風景拍的很漂亮喔,導演掌握鏡頭的距離和角度的能力很優秀,雖然簡單但是
很能夠抓住該表現的重點。
很成功的一部片子,我建議列在2005-2006不得不看電影的前十名
