Work... and Beauty

For some reason, up until today I had not been able to open msn space at work... oh well.
 
Been busy as hell looking for the next job, and having that on top of my long commute and work hours is really draining. If it wasn't because it's summer and that I have been exercising, I probably wouldn't have the energy to do all of this.
 
So what's the big deal about being busy?....
 
 
I am not able to post here as much
 
 
and...?
 
 
I get an idea and forget what it is when I finally get a chance to blog a little...
I hate this...
 
 
 
On a different note, Vancouver sure is full of hot girls, but.........
 
Why do they all look the same???
 
It is like that Saturn commercial: "Nowadays, everyone is trying to be cool... but isn't 'trying' to be cool the furthest thing from 'being' cool?..."
 
Yes, they all look hot, they all have nice make-up, big eyes, nice lips, nice hair, nice tops that show their cleavage, nice really short shorts...
 
But... THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME!!! It's as if they copied off the same fashion magazine or something.
I guess, because of this, I am starting to appreciate my friends even more - instead of trying to look like "beautiful", they make themselves beautiful; they don't follow the definition of beauty, they define beauty.
None of my friends ever wears heavy make-up: a bit of powder, a bit of eye shadowing, and, if it's really formal, lipstick, but nothing that would hide their original faces. They know and admit their short-comings, and they live with them as oppose to hiding them.
 
"The most beautiful woman is the one that is confident about herself"
Being confident is knowing your value, acknowledging that while you may not be a diamond, you still have your worth. Overly proud, prideful and insecurities are all... bad... (don't have a right word Tongue out) Since most of my friends are Christian, they know their worth, they are confident about it but not prideful, and they know their short-comings. Believe me, you can see this on their faces and the way they carry themselves, and it's beautiful...
 
"... so instead of trying to be cool, maybe we should all just, well, 'be'..." (Saturn)

原諒(重貼)

那天,她靠在我懷裡...輕聲的對我說...
 
... Be more forgiving...
 
回想起來,我也不清楚自己何時,何地的變成如此苛刻...... 對了,大概是我所曾經看到,經歷到的事,接觸到,了解到的人,和所有受過的不平等和歧視的對待吧...
 
對人苛刻,並不是因為我覺得我自己有多偉大.相反的,我這樣的看待人是因為我了解,這世界才是真正最苛刻,最 unforgiving 的.
 
不會哭,不是不曾哭過.而是眼淚...早就在多年前哭乾了.
不會哭的人,是很悲哀的.因為他們想釋放感情,卻辦不到.他們被困在內心世界,被感情綑綁,無從解脫.
 
但...
 
我們對我們所珍惜的人,非常溫柔,體貼.因為我們比他人更能了解,欣賞那些人.
雖然我們會袖手旁觀,我們卻會在千均一髮的那一刻,奮不顧身的去救那一些勇敢嘗試卻失敗的人.
 
所以...
 
對我們溫柔體貼一點吧.因為我們聽不到的哭聲,只有體貼才察覺的了.我們看不到的淚痕,只有愛才擦的乾.
用愛,教我們再次的原諒別人吧...
 
 

傷心咖啡店之 Mission Statement Part 1

 
傷心咖啡店深藍色的燈光存在於城市最晦暗的角落,一閃一閃,向每一個傷心苦悶的人招手……
 
 
 
 
什麼是傷心咖啡店? What is Café Triste?
 
 
 
 
 
"傷心咖啡店之歌"是台灣作者朱少麟所寫的長篇小說. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to read such a great Chinese book even though I have read so few of them. This blog is a tribute to the book and also a small realization of my dream...

重新開張

我決定了. For the N'th time, 我要繼續開店開下去. 這一次,是中英合璧. 讀不懂的人就算了吧
 
 
So why am I reopening Cafe Triste here? Because this is the most unread blog in my possession that still has a minor chance of being found. It is an awkward feeling. I don't want the blog to be found (this time, especially not her), but at the same time I want it to be found.
 
 
Anyways, if any of you are wondering what I am refering to when I say Cafe Triste, it is the blog that I am keeping over the years. 從最早在 Xanga, 到現在的 msn space 上. I suppose next time I will explain a little about where the name Cafe Triste came from.
 
 
Until next time... Ja-ne~

救災各搞各的 不准媒體報憂

聯合 更新日期:2008/05/23 07:30 本報記者賴錦宏

芮氏規模八點零的大地震,震出四川地震帶地質的隱憂,未來人口遷移、安置,災民家園重建問題,也震出大陸各救災系統間的磨合問題。

中國,全世界第二大經濟體,擁有最強大的政府統治機制和救災體系,卻因幾大救災系統各自為政,缺乏橫向連繫;加上強震使道路支離破碎,致使救災速度緩慢,重建工作困難重重。

十二日大地震發生後,北京中央政令下達,相關部門第一時間動員,速度之快、規模之大,前所未有。透過官方媒體廿四小時強力放送,匯聚十三億人的強大團結凝聚力,海外華人的支持與捐輸都是空前,值得肯定。大陸純熟運用宣傳,讓災區的悲慘世界呈現世人眼前,凸顯中共政府重視生命、扶死救傷的努力,打破過去外界對中共蠻幹的刻板印象。

超過十五萬的軍人、十萬多的醫療救護人員、堆積如山的藥品、食品和日用品,大量的備用血袋和源源不盡的志工,地震發生後三、四天,救災人員和物資全部齊備。然而,強震震得路不成路,水、電、通訊全斷,讓人員物資進災區難,災民逃出難。

「我們根本不缺醫師護士,震後第二天,成都鳳凰山軍用機場,擠進二千多名來自各地的醫護人員,但根本送不出去,整整在機場候了三天」,地方官員這麼說,成都雙流機場和火車站,來自全大陸的救災物資堆積成山,但汶川、北川災區民眾,卻等不到需要的物資。

因為山體滑坡,村子不見了,一個鎮只剩下三分之一不到的人口,戶籍資料流失,到底哪裡有人被埋、死了多少人,始終只有「參考」數字,失蹤人口數字也不可盡信。

為統一事權,中共國家主席胡錦濤下令,災區最高指揮官是地方最高行政長官。然而,市長、鎮長手上根本沒有人,來救災是軍人、武警、衛生和民政系統,各自有領導體系,互不統屬,各搞各的。

救災緩慢的主因,是災區實在太大、重災區面積就有十萬平方公里,涉及八十八個縣市區,災民有兩千八百萬。不少海外媒體誇讚這次大陸開放媒體深入災區,是新聞自由的進步;四川公安廳官員坦言,這是個誤會,因為地方實在太大,軍警第一時間全部投入救災,來不及管制。直到第三、四天,才在各大路口設卡哨,管制境外媒體深入。

而中宣部在震後第三天,就下發書面指令,要求大陸各媒體只准報導災情,做到「四不」:不評論、不反思、不負面、不唱反調。

來自台灣的愛心和關懷,大陸民眾感受深刻,給冰冷的災區注入暖流,展現台灣十足的善意,為兩岸關係進一步融冰。
