Journal-ING Holy Weather Holy Truth

Have you yet noticed the rapid change that happened in recent weather? Or you’ve just had enough with the words coming from the mouth of the forecast man? YES! I cannot agree with you more. I resent hot weather or warm and even sunny day. In contrast, I love an area that has clear season, and you can easily identify the weather by its environmental change. I think it’s the problem we encounter RIGHT NOW. Tell you what, everyday I got to prepare a light jacket, a bottle of sunblock lotion, an UV umbrella and of course a huge bottle of water. It’s all for late summer time. I think it’s the most annoying season throughout the year, cuz it’s so unclear! You can either have a morning of fall, an afternoon of hot summer and a night of winter. No wonder lots of people are getting sick or catching a cold. Okay, I know it’s a green house issue and I’ve just finished Al Gore’s The Inconvenient Truth. What I felt about the film is that “Wow, hey buddy, you’ve just told the truth, a truth that you’ve hided so long for your fellow Americans.” Okay, I’d say it’s a brave deed.

Journal-ING People at Stake

Apparently, we’re all well-informed by the news that happened to Burmese people in Rangoon, Myanmar. It was told that nearly thousands were dead during this vast demonstration. It’s obvious that people are protesting against the recessing economy and the notorious warlord who has been their sovereign for several years without a public voting. And you can see that most protesters marching on the streets are monks, it was because Burmese only have faith in them. “When every time they speak up, people listen.” said one dissident citizen. Regarding on this issue, the Burmese government send more and more troops to suppress those dissidents instead of an offer of a truce even peace talks. Also, it was reported that the authority tried to cut off the contacts from domestic area to outside their country for stopping the international press from wild-spreading the scandal or rumor. Burmese are at stake, and we globe villagers are still unwakened. But, to be blunt, what could we do in order to help them get out of the hell like that? And you might say that let’s let the UN to handle it? Well, in fact, the government itself has already reputed and refused to the intervention of the UN for reason that they were only outsiders.

In such situation, people might stand up and start to do something good to the society rather than to sit and wait. But what if it’s an unreachable distance in which the Burmese are suffering through a national crisis?

Journal-ING Jazz Concert

Last night, I went to the famous Annual Jazz Concert in the square of Taichung City Government. That was fantastic!!! The weather eventually cooled down when it's close to 8 pm. Sitting on the grass, feeling the cool wind, I could never forget why I experienced just in one special night. The music and enchanting melody embraced me warmly so that I wouldn’t feel cold in the dark but charming night. The Brazilian band played their favorite songs and chanted a little in a while and everyone was like drunk in their charms and sweetness. I see people holding hands, giving hugs to each other and even dancing with the music freely and happily. To be honest, any kind of music can be like this, so inspiring and so touching. But why is that? Someone said that as long as the frequency of the music perfectly fit the one in your heart, you will feel comfortable and unprecedented happiness. Judging from this opinion, I felt in the same way, I was so moved by this intriguing cadence and rhythm. It was definitely an unforgettable night in my life.

Journal ING---Film Review

As a matter of fact, I am so into movies, especially when there's my favorite casting. Keanu Reeves, one of my favorite actors has, so far, performed in at least 5 films. <> is my favorite, he was doing fabulously well. It's quite popular when we have romantic movies in Taiwan because we are said that Taiwanese people are far more conservative than westerns, so we always have that sort of anxiety deep in our heart instead of showing it. As a result, when we watch the film which is quite sensational or touching, we'll cry or hear the soaring of your heart first or at last. For instance, currently I went to see the movie "Lust and Caution" which is directed by the leading and most-in Asian director Ann Lee, who was born in Tainan. Indeed, it is a sensational movie. Furthermore, the way he deals with those inner emotions and how to express its moral even sexual meaning is wonderful, no wonder he's the winner. It was so detailed about the true feelings that I couldn't breath for some time. You will feel both excited, ecstatic and even astonished at the same time. It is definitely a film that worths your inner reaction as well.

The reaction to the article "Without Emotion"

It's not hard to imagine what life would be during war time. He had to make himself brave enough in order to fight with the enemy also to kill them by his bare hands. Instead of being a chickedn in the war field, he chose to face it even he originally didn't want to be like that. War is cruel and unecessary, but as to gain the profits or dignity, people tend to win brucely in every battle. Leaders wanted to win but he himself didn't need to go on to war just like Bush Junior. The article is quite ironic or you can say sarcastic, the author wanted to reflex the brutal part of war, it's much more cruel than we thought. And it has huge negative impact on our pure mind, but also let us know the feeling to take one's life. It's like a dilemma in here, he's a man, he should be brave and patriotic, but he dare not to take someone's life if he had not practiced unwillingly.

My Philosophy of Life

Life isn't easy nor long, and how to seize the day has become my new goal of life. In my opinion, life can't be lived on by rules or any kinds of philosophy, but perhaps by coinsidence or lots of vicissitudes. We may expect to have something good to happen in our lives, but we cannot stop those bad from happening.

" Hard work and determination always win the day ", the proverb caught my eye during the first sight. I keep it in mind wherever I go or whatever I do. It shows me that how powerful one's mind is and how important that we have to make efforts in order to gain is.

Men are curious animals. We probe the answers through the life and we strived for a path when we get stocked.

People have also been wondering that how to win the best life among all. But I would say start from your daily life instead of your whole life.
