'Hope Springs'

Watched 'Hope Springs' DVD - charming romantic comedy, a delightful and engaging comedy about finding happiness when you least expect it.

Loved the music on Chapter 4.
'I'm not in love' sing by Fun Lovin' Criminals, It's so funny how people try to deny LOVE, here's the lyrics:

I'm not in love, so don't forget it. It's just a silly phase I'm going through.

And just because I call you up, Don't get me wrong,

don't think you've got it made.

it's becauseI like to see you, but then again that doesn't mean you mean that much to me

So if I call you, don't make a fuzz. Don't tell your friends about the two of us

It's becauseI keep your picture upon the wall, It hides a nasty stain that's lying there

So don't you ask me to give it back.

I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me, I'm not in love.

Another version of it:
Don't think that you got me girl,

Don't think you can tame me and change me.

Don't think that it's all because of you,

Just because I don't run around,

Just because we're forever together.

Don't you think of a four letter word to use.

So what if I just don't want anybody else but you,

so what if you're all that I ever really wanna do.

I know what you're thinking, but that doesn't make it true.

Believe me, babyI'm not in love.

What makes you think you made me fall, I slip but no,

I'm not in love.

What if I just can't sleep at night, I see your face in the starry sky so high above...

but, girl I'm not in love.

Don't think that you got it made.

Don't think it's so easy to keep me.

So what if I just don't want anybody else but you,

so what if you're all that I ever really wanna do.

I know what you're thinking, but that doesn't make it true.

Remember my time in Taiwan, I went to this mountain top early in the morning, slept at 2.30, woke up at 4 AM, It is a very d*mn cold for the people of my country. Friends that already use to winter just laugh. See the photo above. Imagine how cold it is. Or the problem comes from the un-expert person that took the photo. 

Do not think its funny

WE NEED MORE JUSTICE

I have no idea whether this picture is real or have been modified, but I personally think its not funny at all. Some friends can actually laugh or smile, but please try to think in contrary.

Last Sunday, went to a sunday service, the preacher is American, as for the congregation is so colorful, some Chinese, Javanese, Caucasian, African, Phillipinos, and many other.
Remembered jokes that been shared:
- She's too blond to understand that no need to put a stamp on fax
- She's too blond to understand that no need to lipstick her cheeck trying to make up her mind
- She's too blond to understand that the smartest blond called Golden Retriever

U think its funny ? Again, I don't think so, try to think in contrary.

'Chauvinism of race and religion is the last thing we need on earth.'

What a beautiful laugh....

Wanna Have Baby Like Her.......

Me and Adel always so amazed with her, she looks so beautiful.... wish I can produce babies that stereotype, then again I don't think it's easy to against genetical things such as:

Small eyes and Piggy nose. My Ancestors gave it to me, but will try my best to get something like the photo :)

Many of my friends startin to work, some tryin another job/industry, some share how tough the workin environment is, some just don't give a shoot to it's job.... Well let's read a story why this man fired his secretary, enjoy it.

' Two weeks ago was my 45th birthday and I wasn't feeling too good that
morning. I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and say,
"Happy Birthday!", and probably would have a present for me. As it turned
out, she didn't even say good morning, let alone any happy birthday. I
thought, well, that's wives for you, the children will remember.

The kids came to breakfast and didn't say a word. So when I left for the
office, I was feeling pretty low and despondent. As I walked into my office,
my secretary, Janet, said, "Good morning, Boss. Happy Birthday." And I felt
a little better that someone had remembered.

I worked until noon, then Janet knocked on my door and said, "You know, it's
such a beautiful day outside, and it's your birthday, let's go to lunch,
just you and me." I said, "Well, that's the best thing I've heard all day.
Let's go!"

We went to lunch. We didn't go where we normally go; instead we went out to
a private little place. We had two martinis and enjoyed lunch tremendously.
On the way back to the office, she said, "You know, it's such a beautiful
day, we don't need to go back to the office, do we?" I said, "No, I guess
not." She said, "Let's stop by my apartment."

After arriving at her apartment she said, "Boss, if you don't mind, I think
I'll go into the bedroom and slip into something more comfortable." She went
into the bedroom and, in about six minutes, she came out carrying a huge
birthday cake, followed by my wife, children, and dozens of our friends, all
singing Happy Birthday.

And I just sat there . . on the couch . . . naked......"

Remember, A year minus 11 days before, I was in Taipei, feel so happy with many new faces coming to my day, most of them looks Asian, some are very tall even for a young girl :)
I miss Chiang Kai Sek Memorial Hall, A place where you can feel Patriotic and Romantic in some way, along with King Cole music on the back ground...
Some Taiwan Food that I miss:
- KOREAN BBQ in ShiDa Night Market
- Fan Tuan (Taiwanese breakfast kinna type / Some meat covered by Rice)
- 150 NT for a small portion of Indian Curry at ShiDa Night Market
- The Smell of Jou TouFu (Smelly Tofu)
- Din Dai Fung (The Best Food in Taiwan but a little bit of expensive)
- MangGuo Bing (Mango Ice) Unbelieveable delicious
- Sushi Express on Yong Gang Jie (Have to fight with my roommates 2 go here)
- Vietnam Noodle Shop on Yong Gang Jie ( Wonderful park near there )
 

The art of listening

Watched PhoneBooth (Click on the title for more information), a short duration of thriller movie, personal opinion is 'I love this movie'. Makes me think bout the things that we have probably did in the past or still doing.

Recommend to see the movie.

Here's some comment I got from amazon: -they can explain better than I do-

' Main character Stu (Colin Farrell at his best performance) is one of this fake New Yorkers: some publicist, dressed in a fake coat of bogus fame and unexciting BIG contacts. He stops by at the phone booth to make his regular call to another women, the one which doesn't know that he is married... As soon as he hangs up? A phone call... A phone call for him... A phone call by a sniper. He has to play by the sniper's rules, or someone will die.A thriller? An action? A psychological drama? I would say all of it at the same time... but much more. Did I want to know what will happen next? Yes! Did this film make me think? Yes!
From my point of view, this film mostly about art of listening. We often prejudge situations and people. But we forget to listen, to understand and hear the meaning of simple clues which might save our own life. And Forest Whitaker as Captain Ramey did this part very well.On the other hand it gives us a slight idea how one second can change our life forever. And it does every single day.The ending made me disappointed but I can't give this film less than A- grade. I've seen better, but not as many as you might think.
