National Treasure - Book of Secrets / Happy New Year 2008 everyone!!!

Wow, ''National Treasure - Book of Secrets'' is good! I skipped the first one and just watched this. Yesterday Candiberry and I went to watch it. Last time we met was about 4 years ago. And last movie we watched was ''Lilo & Stitch''(also a Walt Disney stuff). That was 5 years ago. It's quite a long time that we haven't watched movies together. I had a good time.

It is an adventurous, high speed running, hilarious, and no killing/blood action movie (still got guns everywhere though). After all, it's a Walt Disney thing, it gotta adapt to audiences at all ages. Including Nicolas Cage, this movie got a bunch of great stars, like Ed Harris, Jon Voight, Helen Mirren. Oh I love them.

I was planning to find a place to have the New Year Countdown but because of some technical problem that I can't make it. So I'm gonna stay at home watching some movies through the midnight. Tomorrow will be a whole new beginning. :-)

Anyways, time to start my New Year Eve DVD adventures.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 everyone!!!

Bond, James Bond

Which Action Hero Would You Be? v. 2.0

You scored as a James Bond, Agent 007

James Bond is MI6's best agent, a suave, sophisticated super spy with charm, cunning, and a license's to kill. He doesn't care about rules or regulations and somewhat amoral. He does care about saving humanity though, as well as the beautiful women who fill his world. Bond has expensive tastes, a wide knowledge of many subjects, and his usually armed with a clever gadget and an appropriate one-liner.

James Bond, Agent 007 75% Neo, the "One" 54% Indiana Jones 50% Maximus 46% Batman, the Dark Knight 42% Lara Croft 38% El Zorro 38% Captain Jack Sparrow 33% The Amazing Spider-Man 29% The Terminator 29% William Wallace 25%

Bond, James Bond. Funny Stuff. Being an old-style 007 (Sean Connery/Pierce Brosnan) would be cool and better.

Not the new one (Daniel Craig). The new 007 is totally unacceptable. Especially he was almost beat to a handicap (bad guy hit his genitals, remember? That's really nasty). This blog entry is not a movie review by the way.

Last Man Standing - I am Legend

Tonight, I watched ''I am Legend''. You know, since I am a huge fan of Will Smith.. I am saying he was doing the character very well. But the story goes not so good.

I believe the novel's information the auther Richard Matheson wanna convey is way more than the movie's. But now the movie is merely a pure action (all about mutants, Redident Evil-like) movie. So I'm gonna take an original novel to read. To be sure I get the whole picture what real ''I am Legend'' is.

Best quote of the movie :

(Robert told Anna about Bob Marley.)

He had this idea. It was kind of a virologist idea. He believed that you could cure racism and hate... literally cure it, by injecting music and love into people's lives. When he was scheduled to perform at a peace rally, a gunman came to his house and shot him down. Two days later he walked out on that stage and sang. When they asked him why - He said, "The people, who were trying to make this world worse... are not taking a day off. How can I? Light up the darkness."

論白目

這篇比較特別，是一個朋友希望我能寫寫有關白目的文章。

『白目』一詞是形容搞不清楚狀況、不識相的人。也有人叫『白爛』，或乾脆叫『小白』。

一、白目規則：

1、No Insight：白目永遠不認為自己白目，即使被人忍無可忍地痛罵『白目』，可能只會回應：有嗎？/哪有？/還好吧？（這不就表現你『明顯白目』嗎？）

2、Repetitive destructive behaviors：白目不會自覺就算了，即使說要悔改，但很快隨即故態復萌，狗改不了吃屎。牛牽去月球還是牛，不會變成一朵牽牛花。

3、狗嘴吐不出象牙：白目講話常常不經過大腦（我懷疑只有脊髓反射），經常不顧慮他人感受、不考慮他人感覺，還自以為見解高明，洋洋得意。但其實受話方早已經『仄聲字暗X在心裡 n遍』。白目的人，只會關心自己而已，難道就不知道體貼是何物嗎？（若是白目覺得自己其實已經很體貼，回規則1.）

4、Suspected frontal lobe lesions：白目不只回應常常讓人噴飯，連行為都會讓人無法理解。雖然智力通常沒有受損，但我合理懷疑白目 frontal lobe（額葉）有損傷。因其行為不合邏輯之事，不可勝數。自己不覺得丟臉，卻常會讓別人embarrassing而不自知 （症狀類同3.）

5、Don't know shit：白目常常聽不懂別人暗示的話語，即使體貼的婉轉負向語言，仍會被其解讀為沒無關緊要而繼續作自我毀滅的事情（可同時參照規則2.）。


二、如何阻止/預防小白？

沒有什麼特別有效根治或預防的方法。抗生素、類固醇、任何疫苗通通無效，除了小白毒力太強之外，主要因小白毫無insight可言。

但是當有白目對你做出匪夷所思之舉動或講出不該說的鬼話時，應該立即予以嚴厲譴責，因為縱容小白，絕對是禍害千古，下次受害者還是有可能是自己。

有句忠告佳言說得極好：
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.

小白，總是 be reckless with other people’s hearts.

而深受小白禍害的人，就請勿 put up with that shit they give you.


Ps.有任何想法，或自身受害經驗，歡迎給我意見。我將會隨時補充進去。

[Music] The First Noël

The word Nowell comes from the French word Noël meaning "Christmas", from the Latin word natalis ("birth"). It may also be from the Gaulish words "noio" or "neu" meaning "new" and "helle" meaning "light" referring to the winter solstice when sunlight begins overtaking darkness.

Today is Christmas. Let's celebrate this great holiday by singing this beautiful Chrismas carol ''The First Noël'' (performed by Celtic Woman. Their voices are gorgeous!).

The First Noël

The first Noël, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Noël, Noël,
Noël, Noël,
Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a Star,
Shining in the East, beyond them far;
And to the earth, it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.

Noël, Noël,
Noël, Noël,
Born is the King of Israel.

Merry X'mas Everyone!

There might be sometime I haven't mailed my friends and teachers X'mas cards to greet them for this great holiday.

Yesterday I got a greeting mail from Angelito Tan, a Chinese friend living in the Philippines. We used to play basketball together. I felt warm and thankful and I decided to let my friends and teachers to feel X'mas too. I sent X'mas e-cards to greet them Merry X'mas and advanced Happy New Year. Surprisingly, some friends replied mails back almost right away and some also sent e-cards to me. It made me feel real good in this X'mas Eve even though I didn't arrange any special activity to do. You guys are great.

Merry X'mas Everyone!

Please Yield！

今天差一點又被不守交通規則亂騎的機車撞到。

早上騎車出門，從小路正要右轉上大馬路前，照常先停下來，看看左邊有沒有來車。才停下沒三秒鐘，右邊就有一台機車『逆向行駛』正要轉進小路來，騎得還不慢，忽然看到我停在那裡，那人一急煞車，車頭一歪，就在我面前連車滑倒。Bang!

我這才瞧清楚騎士是一個女生。剛好地上之前有人灑水打掃的樣子，所以地滑摩擦力驟減。以車先飛出去的狀況，看來應該最多是有些小擦傷。她呆坐在地上，看來是有點被嚇到。看看她沒有什麼傷我就先走了。

差一點就被這逆向行駛的機車A到了，還好在撞到我之前她先自爆。

心有餘悸。Thank God.


PS.請大家騎車務必遵守交通規則，自己上路時也要隨時小心。Godspeed.

That's The Spirit

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.

-Corinthians 10:13

你們所遇見的試探，無非是世人所能受的。神是信實的，必不叫你們受試探過於所能受的。在受試探的時候，總要給你們開一條出路，叫你們能忍受的住。

Let's Call It a Day

When I woke up this morning, I kinda couldn't keep balanced.

Didn't get nausous at that time. But after I ate my breakfast, dizziness started approaching. Lying down wasn't helping much. 15 mins later, I vomitted my breakfast.

So I gotta call it day.

After 2 hours' rest, I felt much better. A common cold, viral infection or the result of sleep deprivation. I am doing fine now. Gotta take care of myself a little more I guess.
