"Step up" is a movie about dancing. Here is some scenes of the movie.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hspU2aUMDwY
I think that Step Up is a really good movie, even though most of the things were predictable. The movie is based on dancing which combines ballet and hip-hop. All the dancing techniques of actors and dancers are excellent. I love their techniques because they show the contrast between ballet and hip hop. I can't imagine these two terms can be combined so perfectly. It also shows that people can change if they have their targets.
The talent displayed in this movie is extraordinary. The movie has romance, comedy, tragedy, and nearly everything else you would want in a good movie. Except the movie, I would like to recommend the soundtracks as the music in this movie is also really nice.

...Christmas Eve...
Today is Christmas Eve. I think that Christmas is not just a festival, it also carries message of hope to people. For an example, we used to hope that we can get any gift or surprise from Santa Claus.
However, I do remember that t it was a nightmare for last year. The SE Asia gigantic tsunami has deadly destruct the land, brought death to numerous human lives. It was unbelievable as it happened suddenly and seriously. Many people lost their relatives and friends during this disaster.
Life is so fragile that it could be live and dead within a couple of seconds. We need to cherish what we have because they can vanish without warning.
Best wishes for all my family members and friends. Merry Christmas!!!

Growing up
In my childhood, I used to watch the rainbow until it disappears , but it have been quite a long time I didn't lift up my head and watch through the sky.
Not feeling well for growing up and it bothers me most of the time. I feel a strong antagonism towards the reality because it acts as an enzyme and accelerates the rate of my growing up. I don't like to have a complicated mind.
Growing up is an inreversible process.
We have to learn about how to distinguish what is real and what is fake.
We have to complete the work despite we like to do or not.
We have to camouflage ourselves or try to be armed sometimes.
We have to make own decision and take the responsibility for that.

thE misSing piEce...meets the BIG O...
I' m glad that I have found the sequel of the book, "The missing piece"... The sequel is named as "The missing piece meets the big O". Here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCmZ2jrQooE
The missing piece wants to find something who can match with him, but he fails and keeps waiting for a long time. Then he meets the big O, he wants to go with the big O, but the big O rejects him with some reasons. The missing piece find out the reasons by himself and use his power to do some changes. After that he keeps forward to go, and finally he becomes a circle, like the big O.
After reading this book, I feel a deep meaning in it. Lift and pop and flop. It can hurt a little bit sometimes but we need to do this just like the missing piece. Make decisions, command responsibility, take better care of ourselves. Grow up. Then we will be able to roll. Then we will be complete. Make the efforts and the bet on it.

... ... ... ... ...
I feel that I’m staying at the crossroads recently. There' a lot of things that I need to do but seems that I can’t cope them well. So hurry as the time pass away. I’m tired, again.
Sometimes i really wonder, is this what life is going to be like? Where’s the joy I'm supposed to be having? Life shouldn’t be spent such of this way, isn’t it? It’s never a winning battle against all the things that I need to do. It feels as if i'm being dragged along by the routines of life. 3 meals a day or eat when hungry, attend lectures, classes, prepare for the exams...etc.
My mum came to Taiwan recently but i can barely find time to keep her accompany. Although she won’t surf on this blog but I would like to say that I’m sorry about that. How deep I wish to do nothing but keep her accompany.
It’s the time I need to have a break, may I?

thE misSing piEce...
Have you ever heard about the story "the missing piece"? I've read this story in a bookshop unexpectedly. It basically goes like this, a circle missing a wedged shaped piece that rolls around trying to find its mate to be complete. Here is the video about this story which I have found it on net after I came back from the bookshop as I like this story so much. Check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c09RmO9rIC0&feature=related
I guess there are many renditions of this story and I've also heard one using a doughnut but getting back to point, this story is very profound. I guess everyone of us is some sort like the circle, forever looking for that one thing to complete us, to make us whole. We have that longing in our heart, a sense of incompleteness. It's funny how everyone has it, as if life isn't complete without that something or someone.
Nothing more to say here, I just wanted to share this thought to the far ends of the world, from an incomplete circle to another...

the POOR elephants...
http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=fMyw9zUSHuY
Here is the video about the abuse of elephants. Click into it and you will find that how cruel the humans can be. I get to watch this video by the commendation of my friend.
Beating or needlessly killing an animal is inhumane and will not be tolerated. This is one of the principles that we understand but it is common for us from getting the news about the abuse of animals nowadays too. I believe that there will be a large number if we gather statistics of the abuse of animals. Add to this the number of cases that we do not hear about and the numbers are astronomical.
I strongly suggest that any performance which would harm the animals in circus should be forbidden. Otherwise, such as this kinds of animal abuse can’t be prevented. Our society should also take strict laws and punishment for those that commit this abuse.

Life Path…
Yesterday, I was out with some friends who I seldom have a chance to meet them recently . We updated each other on what's happening in our lives while having our dinner. The topics revolved around university life, holiday plans and relationships with the peoples who stay around us.
From this gathering I get a shocked news, that is one of my friends will be get married soon. I suddenly realize that all of us have grown up as the time pass away. But it made me ponder for some time, do I choose the correct path for myself? It is not something you can predict with much accuracy now. No, that wouldn't be correct either.
I would be imposing on myself a list of prerequisites that are unlikely to stand the test of time. I am fortunate that time is not in short supply and I am allowed a period to wallow in. Sometimes I feel that I am walking into a puzzle of my life blindly. I don't know what I am looking for, or how difficult the puzzle is.
If you believe in fate and a destiny, then the path to the puzzle has already been decided. Otherwise, it changes everytime I make a decision.How would you know you've reached the end?

REFLECTION
Goodness, it's already the end of October! I can't believe it that the time has gone by faster than anything. Today, I just stayed all the day alone. Sometimes, when I stay alone, my thought process gets accelerated.
I really wonder, is this what life is going to be like? Should I take part in so many activities ? Can I handle my results as well? Why I always complaint that it is barely to find a date for taking a good rest? It must take some effort to fit in so many things into a single day and seems as if I'm being dragged along by the routines of life.
Well, let’s start from today. I promise to myself that I can’t continue spending my time without any plan. I should be the one for controlling my life.

THE BIO EXPERIMENT
In this post, I’m going to talk about the Biology experiment for this week. The experiment for this week is about the cell division and the analysis of growth. In this experiment, we used onion root tip for observing the cell cycle. We have to plant the onions before 1 week to the experiment. Here is the photo which I have taken for the onions which owned by my group. We have drawn some faces on the onions for fun.
Okay, be seriously. Here is the procedure which we have done for making a onion root tip sample. First, We have to cut off the root tip and dip it into the Carnoy’s s solution for one day. The purpose of this step is for fixing the situation of cell’s growing. After this step, we have to soak the root tip into 1 M HCL solution for soften the cell tips. In order to examine cells in the tip of an onion root, a thin slice of the root is placed onto a microscope slide and stained so the chromosomes will be visible.
Although slicing the onion root captures many cells in different phases of the cell cycle, the teacher told us that the cell cycle is a continuous process. Scientists have divided the process into 5 phases: (1) Prophase (2) Prometaphase (3) Metaphase (4) Anaphase (5) Telophase.

Here is the SONG...
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...
Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
Ill find my way through night and day cause I know I just cant stay here in heaven...
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please...begging please
Beyond the door there's peace Im sure and I know there'll be no more tears in heaven...
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...
(from http://www.lyricsfreak.com/e/eric+clapton/tears+in+heaven_20051574.html)
Here is the song, “Tears in Heaven” lyrics, which is one of Eric Clapton’s songs. I’ve got the chance to listen this song when I was having dinner with my friends in a restaurant which is situated at Ximen .This is not my first time to listen this song, but I’ve never noticed the lyrics before until my friend told me about this song.
It's terrible that it took Conor (Eric Clapton’s son)'s death and Eric's grief to write such a beautiful song for his son. From this song, I can sense the sorrow of Eric Clapton, but he didn’t show his sorrow directly such like using the words such as “heartbroken”, “grieved” in the lyrics , but all of us can sense his deeply sadness and his love to his son.
MY FIRST BLOG
I've never thought that I would ever spend time in front of my computer creating a blog. As my friend, they would know, I am not passion in blog. I seldom express my feeling and thought in such of this way. Now, I’ m going to post my first blog in my life.
Everyone has their life's road ahead of them. Whether good or bad, what we do, where we go and how we see, it's all one big road trip. I am experiencing my new life now, this is the road I walk on, the paths I choose wherever it begins, however it ends.
Well, days and nights pass and i've lost count of how many weekends i've spent buried with my schoolwork and activities.However, I still believe that the hard times that I go through build character, making me a much stronger person. I’ve got to move on and be who I am.
