My so-called life

Lately, I've been spending some time watching an old TV-series call "My so-called life". I remember seeing it back when I was in High School. It was like so related back then. I wonder how relevant it is now to the current hig schoolers. For one thing, I know that asking quarter for phone call is not gonna happen in this day of age.

要作者 • Writers needed

Well, actually anyone who wanted to write. I'm trying to do a project of combining random stories in a print form for public to see. I still need to work out a cost and hopefully I will have enough to do it. ^_^

Things had been pretty normal (I don't mind) now a day, so I can start working on this project and make myself proud. If you have anything (around 500-1200 words) that you don't mind sharing to random people for free, please send them to me! In this digital age, I feel that print is underrated a little. hehehe. But don't get me wrong. I love digital stuffs also.

Just go to my profile and contact me via the "Email". Thanks~

Kelly Chan in Hong Kong's Torch relay

Today is the Beijing's Olympics's torch relay in Hong Kong. Kelly was one of the many runners (many of which I don't know why is on the list). Personally, I think Kelly only barely qualify for it but she does have a positive image and won some award about setting good example to teens.

There are many many negative news about this Olympics, and my view maybe different than others. I enjoyed the Olympics ever since I'm a kid because of good sportmanships, people's goals being reach through hard works, and showcasing what human can do.

I support Beijing's Olympics. ^_^

Just saw this documentary. I know that the US don't have an universal health care but it seems very scary when I'm was watching it. It just like even for people with health plan, there are still no service. So why need a health plan anyway? But I always find insurance companies evil. It seems that everything is covered until you need to ask the insurance company to pay for things. Then everything is not covered...

To be honest though, our house was robbed once, and we sort of get something back from the insurance company. I think like 30% of what we lost? Anyway, I highly recommend people to watch this. But take it with a grain of salt though. When watching these sort of film/news, I feel that they never really tell you the whole picture. There's always a little propaganda and their own view.

風與生命 : Typhoon and life

Many things come by so fast all of a sudden. It's things that I can't really control and thinking/worrying about it won't do any good. So I just try to ignore them, but it's very hard to do. Now they are passed and we hope it won't come back EVER.

It's sort of like a typhoon, so rough and comes in really fast and even though you are prepared for it, you really don't know how it will be when the storm hits. Well, we made by untouched and relieved. And it just like a typhoon, after it's gone, comes the most beautiful day. And I'm living under that day now.

用心聽：Yelle — Pop-up

Haven't done a music topic for awhile mainly because after Amy Winehouse, I haven't really touch on anyone that's make me really excited. (I don't much about music but I know what makes me happy :-D kekeke). I like Adele's "Chasing pavement" which's lyric is awesome and also Gary Jules's "Mad world" which I saw in Youtube with that kiwi dying for his dream. Sad but bring a positive message.

Then, there's Yelle. I have no idea who she is. But the song "Je veux te voir" (My sight on you) I think... my french are so limited. =_= THIS SONG IS NOW EMBEDDED INTO MY MIND!!! It has this 80s feel to it and she sort of talk in her singing. Then I went on Youtube to see if there are a video for it. And now, the video is in my mind too. She is so 80s, and it's so cool! I'm now waiting for this CD to arrive from amazon.

I think 80s is really making a come back. I think I need to look for more 80 feel clothings.

Click the title to Yelle's offical site and the youtube link is here:
