No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
第一起發生在上週某天早上，趕著跟朋友赴約前，換好衣服後，想再把已經有點出油的臉洗乾淨再出門，因此拿起慣用的洗面乳，剛洗了右半邊臉，『咦？怎麼這洗面乳這次洗起來滿清涼的，雖然有點刺刺的但是感覺清爽還真不錯！我甚麼時候有這種洗面乳了？』把洗面乳拿起來一看....Crap!!白人蜂膠牙膏！What the.....只好再拿Nivea For Men（這才是我的慣用＠＠）再重洗一次，然後帶著滿臉牙膏香味出門.... Orz
I've watched JP drama のだめカンタービレ（Nodame Cantabile, 交響情人夢）recently although it was released about 6 months ago. The TV version is well following comics stories, the most obvious difference is classical music available in TV. This drama introduces people how beautiful classical music is because not many people are listening to classical music nowaday. I believe this drama will pull more and more people into this fabulous area.
のだめカンタービレ is created by 二ノ宮知子 (Tomoko Ninomiya), and till today it's up to 18 volumes and still going on. This comics was first released by 講談社 in 2002. In fact, I've read comics version sincealmost 4 years ago. I know how to play violin and piano, and that's why I am always interested in classical music. So first time when I saw this comics, not a surprise I've been deeply in it, especially it's a funny and inspiring kind.
Unfortunately, drama(11 episodes) and animated(23 episodes) version only finished before 千秋真一 & 野田惠 left Japan (maybe the story of comics vol.10). If you wanna know what will happen to their music life and career in Europe, don't miss comics version! Because comics version actually is the best of all. Although no music in it, just remember your imagination is endless. More fun and more possibilities you can get, trust me... ：）
Two weeks ago, I introduced Breathe's Best hit ''Hands to Heaven''. This time, How Can I Fall, Breathe's another hit. One of my all-time favorite too. It's released from the album "All That Jazz" in 1988.
The same, just can't get tired of listening to these 80's. It's so classic, unlike some modern hits which become annoying if it repeated several times. (Over the threshold?)
So, sit down, get a cup of coffee and listen to this. That's what I am gonna do. ：）
How Can I Fall Give me time to care, the moments here for us to share Still my heart is not always there What more can I say to you
Could I lie to you, I'm just too weak to face the truth Now I know I should make a move What more can I say
How can I fall, how can I fall When you just won't give me reasons When you just won't give me reasons at all
When all faith is gone, I fight myself to carry on Yet I know of the harm I do, what more can I say to you Now I hold this line, I know the choice to leave is mine I can't help what I feel inside What more can I say
How can I fall, how can I fall When you just won't give me reasons When you just won't give me reasons at all
I'll follow through, I'll see I do When the time is more right for you I'll make that move, and when I do Will I doubt again, the way I do
How can I fall, how can I fall When you just won't give me reasons at all
How can I fall, how can I fall When you just won't give me reasons When you just won't give me reasons How can I fall, how can I fall When you just won't give me reasons When you just won't give me reasons
Just won't give me reasons Just won't give me reasons at all How can I fall, I fall, I fall How can I fall for you How can I fall, how can I fall When you just won't give me reasons When you just won't give me reasons
On August 14, we went watching Evan Almighty. It should be showing in the theater by August 22 and 14 was the Sneak Peak day! It's lucky that we could watch that a week earlier.
It's a comedy of biblical proportions. Including concepts of environment protection and some presious thoughts I wanna share with. For example, God told Joan when she was in desperate and didn't know what to do, this explains and corrects what people'd think about God and religions.
Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?
I also love the concepts it conveyed to me.
How do we change the world? One single act of random kindness at a time. One Act, of, Random, Kindness - ARK.
This is from Dummies series. But if you really can find a real one for ark building, please give me a copy. ：）
Sometimes I just thought an individual is too small to do anything to change something. What you could do is to have a tiny effects surrounding you, for instance, protect the earth from global warming. But after this, I knew there are people out there doing the same thing, having the same thoughts, having the same goal. You don't have to be afraid you are alone and powerless.
And waht is this? Is this anything to do with this funny movie? Oh yeah, it is. ALMIGHTY FOREST encourages you to plant trees to fight climate change, restore wildlife habitat, improve air and water quality, expand recreational opportunities and leave a lasting legacy for future generations. Meaningful, and practical. You are not alone on this.
I'd recommend you to watch this movie if you got chances.
我們四人都點 Original Slow Roasted Prime Rib，它是把12 ounce (340 g)Angus牛排浸泡8小時後，再用精準的爐火烤出（A traditional slow roast of top choice Prime Rib for this long time favorite. Hand carved to order and trimmed just right）。看到網路上有些人說在台灣吃Outback的經驗都是即使點了Medium Rare，牛排還是覺得過乾。吃以前我也有一點這種擔心與疑慮，但是上菜後發現，我們的牛排完全沒有太乾這種問題，而且鮮嫩多汁火候恰到好處（有帶血），這樣到底是台灣的Outback爐火控制的問題還是如何呢？無論如何，除了有點昂貴以外(原價1495 p，加點 bottomless ice tea 95 p，並加稅12%與服務費10%後，約1900 p)，很滿意與滿足的一餐！
Song by Des'ree, one of Britain's most successful pop/soul vocalists throughout the 1990s. ''You Gotta Be'' was released in 1994. It reached #20 UK, #5 US.
For me, it's a song of courage. You gotta be bad. You gotta be bold. You gotta be wiser. You gotta be hard. You gotta be tough. You gotta be stronger. You gotta be cool. You gotta be calm .You gotta stick together... Moved me and powered me everytime! Sometimes you would feel LIFE SUCKS. Well, that is the way it is. No one got a perfect life. Even Paris Hilton's life sucks. She got fame, money, seems everything. But she just can't live it right and gets fulfillment from it.
You have to try to accept how life goes. Catch moments of pleasure. Always feel appreciated and satisfied from life, even just a tiny little one.
Dedicated this song to my friends who have suffered from some uncomfortable events recently. Hope you can go through it with a strong mind.
Listen as your day unfolds Challenge what the future holds Try to keep your head up to the sky Lovers, they may cause you tears Go ahead, release your fears Stand up and be counted. Don't be ashamed to cry
Herald what your mother said Read the books your father read Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time Some may have more cash than you Others take a different view
Time asks no questions It goes on without you Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace The world keeps on spinning Can't stop it if you try to The best part is danger staring you in the face
Listen as your day unfolds Challenge what the future holds Try to keep your head up to the sky Lovers, they may cause you tears Go ahead, release your fears
You gotta be You gotta be bad You gotta be bold You gotta be wiser You gotta be hard You gotta be tough You gotta be stronger You gotta be cool You gotta be calm You gotta stick together All I know all I know love will save the day
Today is the first day of movie ''Blades of Glory'' showing in the Phils. Went to watch it at 11 am for the first show of the day. It's an extremely funny movie starring by Will Ferrell(as Chazz Michael Michaels) and Jon Heder(as Jimmy MacElroy). The story is about two rival Olympic ice skaters worked together as a first male pairs team in the history to fulfill their dreams and lives. Totally creative and hilarious. Made me laugh out loud a lot. Kick some ice!! I would say it's the funniest movie of the year untill now because I was having 93 minutes of great fun..
Classic Quotes of the movie, I really really love them!
Jimmy: So, Coach, I was thinking about the music for our routine. Coach: Oh, really? Chazz: We're gonna dance to one song, and one song only: "Lady Humps" by the Blackeyed Peas. "What you gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk? I’m a get you, get you drunk, get you drunk off my lady humps, my humps, my humps, my lovely lady humps." Jimmy: [disgusted] I'm not skating to anything with references to lady humps. I don't even know what that means. Chazz: No one knows what it means, but it's provocative!! Jimmy: No, it's not, it's gross!! Chazz: It gets the people going!!
Got hurt again while playing Bball tonight. The injury is located at left forefinger and middle finger. Kind of sprained. The old injury of left palm is almost recovered though I still wore palm brace. Then this!
Cause of injury: fingers crashed on to some unknown opponent. Fingers overextension. Treatment: ice pack for 48 hours. After 48, hot pack. Don't have any ice now, so the replacement is cold coconut juice. It works anyway. After some cold compression, I'll just drink it. It hurts.
Hands to Heaven, one of my all-time favorite. Sung by a British band, Breathe in 1988. Real classic!! It was deep in my childhood memory. Didn't know what song it was at the time, though. Around 3 years ago, Christian Bautista revived it, which soon became a hit again in the Phils. And it brought back tons of memories. I could listen to this song over and over again, never got tired...
Hands to Heaven
As I watch you move, across the moonlit room There's so much tenderness in your loving Tomorrow I must leave, the dawn knows no reprieve God give me strength when I am leaving...
So raise your hands to heaven and pray That we'll be back together someday
Tonight, I need your sweet caress Hold me in the darkness Tonight, you calm my restlessness You relieve my sadness
As we move to embrace, tears run down your face I whisper words of love, so softly I can't believe this pain, it's driving me insane Without your touch, life will be lonely
So raise your hands to heaven and pray That we'll be back together someday
Tonight, I need your sweet caress Hold me in the darkness Tonight, you calm my restlessness You relieve my sadness
Morning has come, another day I must pack my bags and say goodbye...
Please people, always cut the crap and don’t beat around the bush. Just hit the point directly or it will become quite irritating and totally wasting my time. I get mean when I am irritated and impatient. I found it's hard to stand more ridiculous excuses or bull that just make me ''snap''. Then the dynamite explodes after that. Nothing left, but ashes.
It was about 4 years ago. First time I heard this song in some supermarket. Had no idea at all what it was. Just felt, wow, so great. It's hard to describe how I really feel in mind at the time. Then I started to search for it everywhere but totally in vain. One day, I accidentally heard it again. Luckily there's a friend around knowing its title - If You Are Not The One. The mystery solved perfectly! I bought this CD - Gotta Get Thru This by Daniel Bedingfield. This CD was not in my hand already, because I gave it to someone as a present. That's all. I love this song. It is an amazing song. Powerful and true. Sing it for your lover! Oh except the part: If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife... you might wanna hold it if you don't really have that confidence. You know what I'm talking about, don't ya?
This song is full of my memories. Dedicated to a girl I've ever loved deeply.
FYI, this song is included in Maid in Manhattan OST as well, but I just couldn't find out which scene it was put.
I finally found it! I've been looking for this game for kind of years. I've watched the game before, but I wanna watch it again. Because my favorite NBA player - Scottie Pippen grabbed MVP of 1994 NBA All-Star Game.
Out of MJ's shadow, Scottie stars. Pippen got 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 steals led the East to a 127-118 victory at the 44th annual NBA All-Star Game in Minneapolis.
It's a really a great time to remember. Especially you can't miss the shoes he word that day - a BIG RED Nike Flight. The shoes didn’t make Scottie jump higher or run faster, but maybe they did give him a little extra confidence in his shot that day – after all, you have to be pretty self-assured to venture out in public wearing anything so bold.( Jeff Dengate)
"That was just something that was thrown out there during my summer meetings with Nike," Pippen told Bulls.com before his No. 33 jersey was retired last December, referring to the red shoes. "I said, 'Sure, I’ll do it.'"
I remembered I saw some students in my high school wear the red shoes at the time. But I am not so sure if they just painted themselves or what, because I never saw the shoes selling in any sports shops. Painted themselves? Is that possible? Yes, it is possible. I did see my calssmate have ''PIP #33'' letters on his shoes and we all knew this moron drew it himself. LOL
當做一件事卻沒有在留神的時候，就會做出一些匪夷所思的事情來。最近一個禮拜就發生了兩起，我還是第一次遇到這種事...
