"Step Up"

"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...

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.
