[哲思]Speech by Barack Obama

非常精采!真的可是說是名列青史的演講
摘錄幾段讓人感動得亂七八糟的部份

"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer."
"若還有人懷疑美國是實現所有夢想之處；若還有人懷疑我們開國先烈們的夢想在今日是否依舊存在；若還有人懷疑我們民主的力量，今夜就是你們的答案。"

"It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America"

"But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to – it belongs to you"

"It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice."

"And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can."

看了真的會慷慨激昂
也難怪面臨各種經濟風暴的美國人
會期待歐巴馬帶來改變的力量

原文如下
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.


It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.


It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.

It’s the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.


I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he’s fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.

I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.


I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.

I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation’s next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House.

And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me. I am grateful to them.

To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics – you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done.

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to – it belongs to you.


I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington – it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.

It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause.

It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth.
This is your victory.


I know you didn’t do this just to win an election and I know you didn’t do it for me.
You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime – two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.
There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor’s bills, or save enough for college.
There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America – I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.

I promise you – we as a people will get there.

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government can’t solve every problem.
But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it’s been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years – block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.


What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek – it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.

It cannot happen without you.

So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other.
Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers – in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.

Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House – a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity.

Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.
As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, “We are not enemies, but friends…though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection.” And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn – I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too.

And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world – our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.

To those who would tear this world down – we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security – we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright – tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.

For that is the true genius of America – that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that’s on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She’s a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing – Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.

She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons – because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.

And tonight, I think about all that she’s seen throughout her century in America – the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.

At a time when women’s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can.

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.

America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves – if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time – to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes We Can.

Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America

[隨筆]愛買鞋的學問

[隨筆]愛買鞋的學問

sex and the city女主角凱莉，可以不吃不喝租房子
卻不能不買鞋，一雙800美金的鞋也有長篇大論的文章

大S說沒被金融海嘯波及是因為
錢都花在家裡的300雙鞋和名牌包就是

艾蕊絲跟好友艾蜜莉都是鞋狂
足跡遍佈大台北地區購物商圈
百貨公司，精品店和地攤外加網拍
因為腳大難買鞋，看喜歡不一定有size
有size的穿起來不一定好看或合腳
常常都要把店內大半的鞋款都穿遍
每每買到店員都混熟了

尤其是買到翻的購物天堂香港
一次是在中環看到很美麗staccato的漸層設計款高跟鞋，
但爲了趕上太平山搭纜車，只好放棄，下山後鞋店已打烊
沒想到10點半才搭渡船過海，竟在尖沙咀看到連鎖店還開著
立刻殺進去狂敗一番，邊試穿還邊問地鐵到幾點?

另一次則是在柏麗購物大道狂買Maud Frizon
整間都是平底芭蕾舞鞋，非常夢幻的店舖
艾蕊絲挑了兩雙皮面平底娃娃鞋，好穿得不得了
艾蜜莉買到僅只一雙的全真皮長靴，
出清價才不到2000元台幣
回來才曉得竟然是歐洲名牌，超值指數破表
(喜歡芭蕾舞鞋的人，推薦指數5星)
結果那天更是買到晚上11點半，店員還延時打烊
非常難忘

--

沒想到，買鞋也有測驗指數
轉載自藝人艾莉絲的文章-鞋子所不能說的秘密

我也好奇來測驗一下
http://quiz.ivillage.com/beauty/tests/Shoestyle.htm

Iris測驗結果如此這般
What's Your Shoe-Style Personality?

You're a sandal by summer and a clog by fall.
Less is more as far as you're concerned, but you still manage to look beautiful all the time. You don't really care about the latest trends, but you're psyched that all the stores are carrying the latest yoga clothing now. The new, fashionable flat sandals for spring have your name all over them, and you can't wait to start wearing yours. They're functional and comfortable, and best of all they look fabulous. Inner beauty is just as important to you as outer beauty, and it shows in the natural glow you radiate.

所以是-曖曖內含光的意思囉...

[哲思]一個台灣兩個世界

[哲思]一個台灣兩個世界

8月抽空到山上幫忙活動收尾的檢討工作
距離當年擔任線上服務有一段時間的我
也忽然回憶起當時的心情，
山上的清新空氣，孩子們燦爛的笑靨，那個懷抱熱情勇往直前的自己

記得晚餐後和同工C一起在村子裡頭散步
C是資深同工，多次在此地服務的經驗，
走在村子裡屢屢遇到家長熱情跟她閒聊敘舊
喚出家裡的孩子來打招呼
當年的國小/國中生，都已經上了高中/大學，
看到昔日的老師還是靦腆依舊

散步到村子外圍的小路上，
C忽然說:
你知道嗎?在這邊他們1戶毎個月的生活費只要一萬五就足夠了!

我有點不能相信，一萬五要怎麼過生活?

*********************

10月中，大學開學後一個月
P卻忽然缺席，
朋友們趕緊四處打聽聯絡關心他的狀況
才聽說-可能因為家裡經濟壓力和團隊訓練的嚴苛等因素
興起休學的念頭
住在都市的同學疑惑問:經濟壓力?我們的學費減免以後才9000元

*********************

第二天，巧遇J一起吃飯，談到工作的事
J的工作，不同類科的趨勢也有天穰之別
只聽他不絕說著，相較於自己和其他科系
在校期間付出努力與獲得代價不成正比的差距
就像是告訴住在1樓的人，80樓和90樓的差別

我轉述了C說的故事
J不可置信問道，是一個人還是一戶?

**********************

活生生的故事，在我眼前
一個台灣，兩個世界

[哲思]那年夏天，山裡的日子

[哲思]那年夏天，山裡的日子

今年夏天，又回到山上
呼吸清新的空氣，在野溪清泉間，繁星天幕下，
聆聽如天籟般的原聲詩歌
暫撇世俗的繁華，似乎可以淡忘人間的苦惱
大家同心合意，只想著怎樣能為孩子們多付出些
體力上或有勞累，心裡卻是滿滿的充實與幸福
孩子們的笑，就是最貴重的報酬

那些年的夏天，山裡的日子
最難忘懷的，此生最美的風景
心底悄悄許願
有限的今生，窮盡畢生之力
都要繼續舉起小小的燭光，哪怕再微弱
只要有一絲光芒，照亮孩子一點點視線
都有值得持續的意義

--
你是此生最美的風景 - JS
還記得那年的夏天 椰子樹占據了海邊
太陽光燦爛得刺眼 你輕輕吻了我的臉
飛機越過海面 劃下微笑弧線
就在一瞬間 你和我之間 相隔一個世紀般遙遠
幻想的時間 卻帶不走回憶裡的畫面
你是此生最美的風景 讓我心碎卻如此著迷
就算世界動蕩 再絕望也有微笑的勇氣
你是此生最美的風景 才令我至今一再想起
這樣愛過一個人 是多幸福的事情
后來我們又再遇見 雖然成熟了些 笑容卻都沒變
就在那瞬間 有很多感覺 排山倒海淹沒了視線
你沒有開口 緊緊地擁抱著卻意味深遠
你是此生最美的風景 讓我心碎卻如此著迷
就算世界動蕩 再絕望也有微笑的勇氣
你是此生最美的風景 才令我至今一再想起
這樣愛過一個人 是多幸福的事情
以為時間可以 像沙灘和潮汐 拭去回憶痕跡 Wo~
我們如果不曾分離 我不會發現 最后回到原地 還是最愛你
你是此生最美的風景 讓我心碎卻如此著迷
就算世界動蕩 再絕望也有微笑的勇氣
你是此生最美的風景 才令我至今一再想起
這樣愛過一個人 多幸福的事情 你是此生最美的風景
才令我至今一再想起 這樣愛過一個人是多幸福的事情

上大學以後就如火如荼，沸沸揚揚開始了po版灌水拼10大的日子
滿滿滿的文章，詳細記載了大學生活的點點滴滴
大事小事，高興的，難過的，瘋狂的，繽紛多彩的每件事...都要po版

慶幸有你愛我-蔡淳佳
作詞：張樂聲 & 林倛玉 作曲：林倛玉
失去和擁有 剎那的感動 人生有時候像一場夢
醒著的時候 睜開了雙眸 不如意的很多
朋友和情人 來的來 走的走 反反覆覆 尋尋覓覓 為了什麼
要多少時間才能夠了解 其實有你就足夠
握著你的手走過快樂和難過 黑夜白晝 我們都曾經擁有
人生是沒有定律的一種節奏 不如用心去感受
快樂的一刻勝過永恆的難過 黑夜過後就有日出和日落
兩個人走 不會寂寞 每一刻都會珍惜 都會把握
慶幸有你愛我
失去和擁有 淚水和笑容人生有時候像一場夢
累了的時候 閉上的雙眸 誰在回憶上游
多少的朋友 來的來 走的走 聚散從來都不給任何的理由
轉過身以後才忽然感受你一直都在背後
握著你的手 走過快樂和難過 黑夜白晝 每個人都會擁有
人生是沒有定律的一種節奏 不如用心去感受
快樂的一刻勝過永恆的難過 黑夜過後就有日出和日落
兩個人走 不會寂寞每一刻都會珍惜 都會把握
慶幸有你愛我
握著你的手 走過快樂和難過 黑夜白晝 每個人都會擁有
人生是沒有定律的一種節奏不必在乎得太多
快樂的一刻勝過永恆的難過 黑夜過後就有日出和日落
只要和你一起度過 人生沒幾人懂我 懂得把握
慶幸有你愛我

[哲思]友誼存款

友誼就像是存款
互相關心，開心玩耍
天南地北亂聊，談生活，感情，夢想...
快樂的時候可以分享
傷心的時候彼此互相關懷
話未說完就能懂的默契
總是可以笑到不行的老梗
因為共同擁有超越時間的回憶
這是友誼存款

--------------------------

多豐厚的錢也有盡頭
越熟悉的人，反而因為距離太近
不小心揮揮手就傷到了人
越熟的人說話不經修飾，更帶著利刃傷人
不掩飾的情緒，有時候就直接表現
越熟的人，越覺得對方應該能體諒-爽約，惡整...都覺得應該要接受
越熟的人，越知道對方的弱點在哪邊-機車的話狠戳痛處
友誼的存款 一點一滴就耗損了

------------------------------

不接電話，不回覆，聯絡不上
不願意直接拒絕 ，不習慣說過程只說結果
這是你的作風...我知道
你心情不好，你有事...我明白
盡全力體諒你，關心你協助你，都ok
但也請你了解，我們是朋友
你不回應比直接拒絕更讓我覺得痛苦麻煩
你需要朋友關心你的情緒，我們對你的在乎毋庸質疑
但如果你把我當朋友的話
那就請你也在乎一下我的想法和處境

全世界的影迷引頸期盼，望穿秋水

在美國上映後話題不斷的"Sex and the city"(SATC)電影版
台灣在今夏970620終於要上映了

早早早就先已經去抓了美版的桌布和螢保來放，聊以慰藉
隨著上映日期將近，預告片打得兇
這才發現原來電影版的經典金句也是不少
字字珠璣，深深打入心坎

不管時代如何變遷進步
愛情-友情-家庭依然是人生不變的課題吧...

Year after year,twenty-something women
come to New York city in search of two "L"
-LABELS and LOVE.
twenty years ago I was one of them.
Having gotten the knack for Labels early,
I concentrated on Love
-Carrie Bradshaw

Life does'nt always turn out to be your fantasy,
that's why you need friendships,
that are real to get you through it all

After years of living in the city,
I assumed that if my friends and I
ever got our fairy tale endings
that would be the end of story...
But real life--Always has a twist

When you're married,
you have a different set of priorities.
-Miranda Hobbes

Trends com and go,
but friendship never goes out of style

*人生是不能回頭的，你要走自己要走的路，

時間一去不復返，這句話令我強烈感受到
活在當下，為自己而活，活出自我，有多重要


*有所得，就不必看失去。--出自林志玲專訪
她擁有令人稱羨的美貌和機會，背後也有相對的努力和犧牲
我們羨慕她的出眾，也許她也羨慕我們擁有的平凡
每個人都是unique，我們不可能成為別人
重要是以什麼角度看自己，看世界
生命是累積的過程，不會白白渡過
每階段都有意義，有收穫
每一步都是為了邁向更好，更完整的自己所必須經歷的
也許有失去，有犧牲，甚至會有後悔
但後悔無法改變過去，只是浪費現在的時間
我們只能往前走不能回頭，只有趕緊整理所獲得的，往前走

Women Change the World
-天下雜誌 創辦人 殷允芃女士

[婦女引領改變]是很大的主題，先來看看界如何改變?
27年前，天下雜誌創刊，IBM的PC才剛問世沒多久
接下來這個世代(20年1個generation)
電腦/手機/網路/通訊設備革命性發展
大幅度縮短了人際之間的距離
時間(效率，人的壽命) 和空間(worldwide)概念也改變了

Q：如何準備自己？
Ans：終身學習keep learning
Learning what？學習
1.與自己相處：接納自我，有自信
2.與他人相處：尊重包容，多元的視野，人際能力
3.與自然相處：天地和諧

Q：覺得世代間的價值差異為何？有何互相學習之處？
Ans：
4-6年級
1.成長環境較刻苦，選擇性較少，
但可較專心致志往一個目標努力，挫折忍受力也較佳
2.對國家社會的認同感和使命感較大
功課à要學習放手

7-8年級
1.成長環境有較多元的選擇，視野開闊，彈性大
à但卻不免眼花撩亂，難以選擇
2.備受關愛和照顧à延遲了獨立的時間
功課à學習感恩的心（appreciation），多付出多給予

Q：作為教學者和面試者，覺得何為年輕人不可或缺的特質？
Ans：
1.年輕人說話態度像小孩，太可愛，容易感覺專業度不夠，也許是媒體的影響
2.不知道自己要什麼？自己的方向在哪裡？
企業和職場不是學校，不容許從錯誤中學習，
主管不是老師會有很多耐心和包容。
不是要什麼，全世界都要給你
工作，有學習也有責任

Q：新世代女性的典範，如林志玲-高EQ、美麗優雅 / 周美青-幹練獨立，覺得年輕人應追求的典範是？
Ans：年輕人，不該只有想到自己，也要思考自己的貢獻。現在的優秀年輕人，在教育過程中似乎只期待念好書（知識），卻不培養能力和智慧，學歷不等於學力

Q：女性領導人如何善用女性特質或是運用男性風格處事？
Ans：
男性-focus on目標導向
女性-較全面化，注重關係和關懷導向(relationship)
不必拘泥於特定的風格，只要能夠領導改變，克服困難達到目標即可

Q：近來流行的生質能源研究蔚為話題，在糧食危機與科技發展的天枰兩端，如何取得平衡？
Ans：當然糧食優先！許多地區的糧荒引起暴動的危機，過去的生活方式形成很多無謂的浪費，例如：水比石油貴。
1.以糧食來發展科技似乎有些不道德，應可有其他面向，例如：藻類研究，不必非要讓機器與人類爭食。
2.糧食價格被商人炒高，趨於嚴重，只是讓既得利益者獲取暴利

Q：品格教育
Ans：近期主題-「我不想上學」，現代的孩子，面對補習和考試的壓力更大，毎天計較分數和壓力之下，沒有餘力自我探索和消化知識。
人生要追求幸福感，追求研究、運用並分析知識的能力

Q：台灣微軟在偏遠地區推動縮短數位落差工作，但也有婦女自信不足，或面對家人不支持的阻力
Ans：不要放棄任何機會
龍應台說「有能力的人，請把燭光拿得更高，照得更遠」
協助弱勢是近年來很重要的概念-CSR企業公民責任（環境，社會，顧客，員工）
很多企業也持續在推動及重視，希望這可以成為一個趨勢。

Q：推薦三本書
1.《發現台灣-台灣400年發展史》：只有認識才會投入感情
2.《流言》張愛玲
3.《百年思索》、《親愛的安德魯》龍應台

Q：結論
A：
1.省思生命中，背後支持我們的力量
2.發揮自己生命中的光，照亮世界(Light up the wrold)
3.知識決定生命的廣度，態度決定生命的高度，

核心價值決定生命的亮度和程度，

品格則使我們維持在高度

因為史丹利在摩人上推薦的產生器文章
所以就玩了起來，沒想到相當有趣
就是這個-明星臉產生器


試了幾張照片，很好玩
發現會因為角度和照片清晰度而有所不同
猜測大概是五官的位置和間距分析後的結果吧...
測試四次中，松隆子是自己心裡覺得像的
而出現了意想不到的人，竟然是周星馳...
一方面高興(還蠻喜歡星爺的!)
一方面也很疑惑(到底哪裏像?)

其他有的就是不認識的人了
平常我都覺得還蠻像白歆惠的，不過可能圖庫沒有她

這邊把其中結果比較沒有重複的兩次貼來笑笑

克萊兒丹斯，荷莉貝瑞，松隆子，黎瑞恩，李孝利，鈴木亞美，史蒂芬周
Misha Omar好像是個很有名的馬來西亞歌手

michelle branch(usa歌手)，仲間由紀惠，Elisha Cuthbert(usa電影明星)

李孝利，Misha Omar，凱特貝琴薩(珍珠港)，

Fernanda Tavares(巴西名模 )，蔡卓妍

今天玩耍到此

[哲思]左顧右盼

躊躇不前 左顧右盼
曾經恣意 盛然
如煙幻滅

一念的決定
挫折來了又去
但卻死抓著不放
單單折磨自己
咎由自取

杞人憂天 伯慮愁眠
害怕後悔，所以無法決定
被思慮纏繞 綑綁 勒緊 窒息

優柔寡斷
害怕承受失敗，不願意承擔

左顧右盼 朝三暮四
拿不定主意
沒有專心致志的集中力

臨淵羨魚，故步自封
沒有行動的勇氣 相信的決心

徒然 欣羨
然而
卻為自己劃定了地界
為裹足不前找好理由

縮在殼裡
後悔 包圍
駐足原地

[馥蘭朵]20080309-吳宗憲婚禮

[馥蘭朵]friendship-20080309-吳宗憲婚禮

這回是擔任婚禮歌手的北高老人團隊
女神幫，nanana團隊，家眷連同孕婦母子大集合

雖然新郎早八百年前就預告要練習
但到了要印儀節表的前一刻
這夥人還是完全狀況外

非等事到臨頭才處理不可
當週發通知信
周五練習第一回合
周六練習第二回合
周日-婚禮表演
以曼哈頓奇緣為腳本
內含歌唱+動作+隊形+樂器(沙鈴及手搖鈴)+大字報+獻花橋段
練習過程歡樂到不行，完全同樂會規格，迪士尼型態
呈現浪漫與華麗兼具的歡慶場景
------
0308晚間06:00
連續兩天練習都在辦同樂會，歡樂又輕鬆
直到週六上台彩排的時候，才赫然有婚禮歌手的感覺
紅地毯，鮮花佈置，座位牌...
這下還真有點正式

看得出來新郎也很緊張
獨唱的部份尤其展現，橋段最後一刻又更改了...
要記得道具，樂器，舞台位置，順序...還好不必記歌詞
------
0309上午09:30
最後的課前練習-取消
美麗的孕婦千里迢迢駕臨，
女神幫合體
懷孕六個月，只照半身看不出懷孕的人妻L
話鋒犀利，精神飽足容光煥發，投資界天后E
八面玲瓏，塑身成功，今日正妹，人脈女王S
美食天后，合購團主，安達魯西亞來的I
難得同台合唱
並且要特別提到，竟然請了蔡總經理幫忙開新娘車
宗憲的面子果然大到不行!!!

10:00婚禮開始
到場的大多是男方的朋友，所以年輕人居多
兩個詩班就佔了很多位子
嬌小的新娘比平常看起來更加甜美
其中有個插曲，因某長執借題發揮講了超級超時
新人久站到雙腿發麻，非常可憐

10:50獻詩
經過前日排練，今日陣容浩大
女生負責舉牌-兼具對新人的祝福及男主角告白
男生負責各種樂器搭配-能想像一個個大支又穿著正式
卻拿著沙鈴/手搖鈴/響板-整個反差大到很爆笑...
重要橋段:唱到仰望天上星空，你是最美麗
新郎要獨唱，並且將玫瑰花獻給新娘，
不料效果出奇的好，新娘感動到不行...
果然婚禮就是要有誇張華麗的效果

以後大家結婚都要聚集起來表演
都可以成立專業熱場團隊了

----
獻上祝福時間:
大夥跟新郎的交情也很多年了，雖然說也是被欺壓的孽緣
尤其更早未認識前的特殊緣分，只能說世界很小(逃不了)
新郎是個會對老婆很好的人，這個有掛保證的
新娘也超賢慧又甜美，休閒活動真的是做做手工藝ㄟ
希望你們展開全新的人生，幸福快樂喲...

----

賭盤開出
之前大家沒良心在背後偷偷下注某情侶發展方向的賭盤
同時也是今天要開盤
喜筵後特別另闢戰場，公開討論賭盤走勢
果然婚禮令人昏or婚 ，小有起色也值得開心
至少大家全力協調後，有好的發展
還是希望"遠距離賢伉儷"繼續努力囉...

[電影]曼哈頓奇緣-華麗配樂3-True Love's Kiss

就像童話故事一樣(其實就是...)
真愛之吻True Love's Kiss
王子和公主相愛的印證

不過...當Giselle到了現實的紐約世界
多少也吃了一點人間煙火
才明白what's true love is...

童話必備場景之深情主題曲
True Love's Kiss

Giselle: When you meet the someone who was meant for you
Before two can become one there is something we must do
Animal: Do you pull each others tails?
Animal: Do you feed each other seeds?

Giselle:
No, there is something sweeter everybody needs
I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss
And a prince I'm hoping comes with this
That's what brings everaftering so happy
And that's the reason we need lips so much
Four lips are the only things that touch
So to spend a life of endless bliss
Just find who you love through true love's kiss

Giselle: aaaaa aaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaa
Animals: aaaaa aaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaa

Animals:
Shes been dreaming of a true love's kiss
And a prince she's hoping comes with this
That's what brings everaftering so happy
And that's the reason we need lips so much
Four lips are the only things that touch

Giselle:
So to spend a life of endless bliss
Just find who you love through true love's kiss
Edward:
You're the fairest maid I've ever met
You were made...

Giselle: ...to finish your duet
Giselle and Edward: And in years to come we'll reminisce
Edward: How we came to love
Giselle: And grow and grow love
Everyone: Since first we knew love through true love's kiss

That's how you know

Giselle:
How does she know you love her?
How does she know she's yours?
Man: How does she know that you love her?
Giselle:How do you show her you love her?

Both:
How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?
How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?
How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?

Giselle:
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her, or she'll be inclined to say...
"How do I know he loves me?"
(How does she know that you love her? How do you show her you love her?)
"How do I know he's mine?"
(How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?)
Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey?
Heyy! He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday
That's how you know, that's how you know! He's your love...

Man: You've got to show her you need her
Don't treat her like a mind reader
Each day do something to need her
To believe you love her

Giselle:
Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know their true love is true...
How do you know he loves you?
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you need her?)
How do you know he's yours?
(How does she know that you really, really, truely-)
Well does he take you out dancin' just so he can hold you close?
Dedicate a song with words in Just for you? Ohhh!

All:
He'll find his own way to tell you
With the little things he'll do
That's how you know That's how you know!

Giselle:
He's your love He's your love...
That's how you know (la la la la la la la la)
He loves you (la la la la la la la la)
That's how you know (la la la la la la la la)
It's true(la la la la la)
Because he'll wear your favorite color
Just so he can match your eyes
Rent a private picnic
By the fires glow-oohh!

All:
His heart will be yours forever
Something everyday will show
That's how you know (That's how you know)
That's how you know (That's how you know)
That's how you know (That's how you know)
That's how you know (That's how you know)
That's how you know (That's how you know)
That's how you know (That's how you know)
That's how you know!

Giselle:He's your love...

Man:
That's how she knows that you love her
That's how you show her you love her

Giselle:
That's how you know...
That's how you know...
He's your love...

[電影]曼哈頓奇緣-華麗配樂1-公主工作歌

光預告就很吸引人的
曼哈頓奇緣(Enchanted)
超kuso的風格令人印象深刻
上映後廣為朋友間的話題

超喜歡的配樂這邊分享一下

公主的工作歌
Happy working song

All right everyone, time to tidy things up

Come my little friends
As we all sing a happy little working song
Merry little voices clear and strong
Come and roll your sleeves up
So that we can pitch in
Cleaning crud up in the kitchen
As we sing along

And you’ll trill a cheery tune in the tub
As we scrub a stubborn mildew stain
Lug a hairball from the shower drain
To the gay refrain
Of a happy working song

We’ll keep singing without fail
Otherwise we’d spoil it
Hosing down the garbage pail
And scrubbing up the toilet
Ooh!

How we all enjoy letting loose with a little
La-da-da-dum-dum
While we’re emptying the vacu-um
It’s such fun to hum
A happy working song
Oo-ooh
A happy working song

Oh, how strange a place to be
Till Edward comes for me
My heart is sighing
Still, as long as I am here
I guess a new experience
Could be worth trying
Hey! Keep drying!

You could do a lot when you got
Such a happy little tune to hum
While you’re sponging up the soapy scum
We adore each filthy chore
That we determine
So friends even though you’re vermin
We’re a happy working song

Singing as we fetch the detergent box
Or the smelly shirts and the stinky socks
Sing along
If you cannot sing then hum along
As we’re finishing our happy working song!

Ah...wasn’t this fun?

香港整個超近的，扣除入出關排隊等待手續

在空中的實際飛行時間，比到台中還短

難怪很多人不論工作或旅行，首選都是香港

交通便捷之外，語言和生活習慣也相同

飛機上的空姐整個也超忙的，因為短短時間內要發點心飲料

且遇到午餐時間還要發餐點和收拾，時間也不長

旅客則忙著吃，整個搭飛機的時間內，全機都在忙

我則連機上購物至都沒研究完畢，就到了...

--airport HK--

想說228連假應該只有台灣人有空閑吧...

但香港畢竟是國際城市，沒有淡旺季

出關還是排了好長隊伍，然後各國語言四面八襲來

後面是超有禮貌，連講手機都要點頭的日本人，

前面是跟我們同團的兩個超炫年輕人

(接下來幾天都在飯店看見他們兩個每天不同的造型)

右邊是一整大團超華麗的印度人，身上金銀飾品披披掛掛

豔麗的華服配上LV等各種名牌包，腳踩有綴飾夾腳拖鞋

整個非常"混搭風"，靠近還會有各種奇妙的味道(香料味?!)

然後附近必有-無論在那個方向

都無法忽略存在感(vol 開到10)的老中們

各種語言夾雜，非常熱鬧

香港機場新穎又寬敞，還有美食街，

連通機場快線直達市區，非常便利

機場快線 從赤臘角-青衣-九龍，才30幾分鐘，無比迅速

機場真是國家的門面，一定要有捷運才方便迅速

台北說要蓋機場捷運講了好久，好像要動工了

據說會經過小橘家附近，大概會是"100年以後"的事情吧...

[旅行]-20080228-0302香港行 -前言

計畫趕不上變化，從一群人到剩下我跟小香2枚

預計三天，卻湊巧買到了四天的program (後來才曉得是很幸運地搶購到)

並承蒙眾多親朋好友提供行程資訊及購物優惠卡(faery)

尤其是連簽證都可以團購的susan(誇張...)
歷經三天瘋狂加班後，終於成行，

心中難以言喻的興奮愉悅，連加班都不苦了

----

行前就被警告，愛買的人一定要帶空行李箱，對杞人憂天的我來說簡直困難

(每天出門都要帶2公斤的包包，everyday...

蚊子藥/護手霜/雨傘/眼藥水/ok絆/環保筷/點心/乾洗手/喉糖...多到可以搬家)

狠下心來在前晚狂丟出東西，收行李
並且精心製作"旅行筆記本"

內有計畫行程表，景點，餐廳地址，電話，購物清單，地圖

全部縮放列印，貼好，畫插圖，還有旅圖記事留白。

得意極了。真是嘔心瀝血之作...(殊不知好戲在後....)

----
拖著輕盈的行李箱...悠閒吃完早餐... 邊高興是10:05的午班機不必早起...

到機場才赫然發現，精心製作的小筆記本沒有帶!!!

為了寫vic臨時說要幫同學代購的agne's b包

整個忽然怒火中燒燒燒燒...(轟轟轟!!!) (後來此包也成為我此行最大孽緣)

總之就是大大破壞了好心情，幸好給小香印了備份可用，

打開全新空白筆記，倒空心中的情緒， 這趟旅行，從零開始

啟程~
