Photo-- New Calendar

I bought this tini-calendar as waiting for a train to Baden in Vienna~


R0017189

R0017190

'Cause both side of each paper are so cute~
ps. 
in the back side, there are some information about 
what is the time of sunrise, sunset, moon-rise, moon-set,....
when the day is a memorial day, there will be a brief illustration and a lovely plate/drawing~
so I collect them and paste them up in my diary~ :))))))))

by the way,
Since I bought it in Vienna, the official language is German,
words of the calendar are German, of course....
so, I consult a dictionary (Google Translator, indeed ^^") for getting the definition when I feel like doing that~
It's good, a good opportunity to learn a new Language for me....
(even though they are very simple....)
anyway, next time I have chance to visit a country where people speak German,
I can say that:
> hey man, I can speak German~
> Montag(Monday), Dienstag(Tuesday), Mittwoch, Donnerstag, Freitag, Samstag, Sonntag, Woche(week), Neujahr(new year)... (smile)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
本來最近很想來一台120的底片機說....
ha, 不過一回想起旅行的愉快與刺激,
這些 lilicoco 的消費慾望著實減低很多!
(^^" 還是....其實該買的也早就都買得差不多了??!)
書....大概是戒不掉的花費, 不過 ^^ 這次趁書展打折, 折現金, & 花旗卡滿1388打8折買的....
8本書也夠翻一陣子了 XDDDDDDD
加上 amazon 一堆免費的經典文學 電子書 也是可省下很多$$
(大概要看20本免費書就可以算是回收成本了 XDDDD)

喔, 說到電子書, 最近翻了一下愛麗絲夢遊仙境(Alice's Adventure in Wonderland),
不知是我以前看的中文版太精簡了還是怎樣,
這次看原文書時, 我對這小女孩的樂觀感到....訝異,
她藉由自言自語可以很快的轉換心境耶!!!!! (^^" 我哪天也來試試好了)

最後, 再推薦一本有趣的書: 我睡了81個人的沙發


















那天只是為了等相片館把我的底片弄好,
到誠品殺殺時間,
走到旅遊書區時, 被這本書的封面 & 書名吸引,
想說: 是有81個小故事描述81張沙發的經驗嗎???? XDDD 這....
anyway, 從 chapter 1開始, 不自覺就把書翻完了 ^^""""""
作者由我們都經歷過 or 正經歷著的事件:
升學,  完美的人生計畫: 小學, 中學, 大學, 工作, 28結婚, 30生子, ......
切入,
我們常常感到徬徨,
心中常常浮現的念頭: 放下擁有的一切, 藉由自我放逐來認識自己....
作者分享了她自我放逐的心歷路程, 有趣(驚險)的經歷...
可能是一樣都是7年級生,
她的用字與一些想法 and OS 讓我在書局裡像癡漢般.... 忽然就一陣笑 XDDDDD
很有趣的書~
啊~~~~  我也要 gap year~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` :P


/*** 20 Feb, 2011 **********************************************************************/

今天第一次注意到這本書的英文 title 是 : The Disappeared Year
:-) 跟中文的名稱很不一樣;

the disappeared year, 實在很有趣 :))))
是她在台灣親友眼裡消失的一年,
是她放逐自己迷失自我的一年,
也是尋獲本來已在自己生命中被快轉過且再也不會出現的一年~

/******************************************************************************************/






補上 博客來網頁上 的一段介紹文:
"這本書記錄的,其實是一個很簡單的故事,關於一個二十四歲的女孩,獨自在歐洲流浪十四個月。
「流浪」,這兩個字對台灣人來說,充滿了不切實際的輕狂和浪漫幻想。如果流浪的意義就是在於花很多錢,跑到很遠的地方,跟一個外國人談戀愛,和俊美的荷西談一場刻骨銘心的愛情。如果流浪的意義就是在於花很多錢,跑到很遠的地方,跟一個外國人談戀愛,莫怪許多台灣的家長都無法理解孩子一心嚮往流浪的心態。
台灣長大的小孩,從小到大什麼也不缺,唯一缺乏的,其實是和自已相處的時間。從出生的那一刻開始,家人,兄弟姊妹,鄰居,老師,同學,電視節目,隨時隨地陪在我們身邊,隨時都在教導我們這個社會的價值觀,我們不懂得和自己相處,也不會處理寂寞。一剛開始我們以為,爸媽喜歡的東西就是我喜歡的東西,長大一點以後,同學喜歡的東西就是我喜歡的東西,再過一陣子,男朋友喜歡的東西就是我喜歡的東西,我們一直在尋找一個天,一個目標,一個信仰。
學生時代的目標很簡單,建中北一女就是我們的信仰,全班第一名就是我們的信仰,同學喜歡你就是我們的信仰,打扮得像蔡依林就是我們的信仰。我們忙碌著,像幫女王蜂採蜜的工蜂一樣,每天忙得團團轉,我們以為我們在做自己喜歡做的事情,我們從來不想停下來仔細問問自己,這是否真的就是我真正想要的?
  我們的社會不容許停頓,我們的父母從小希望我們贏在起跑點上,我們已經習慣放學就去補習班報到,成績單一發下來心裡就計算著自己贏了還是輸了,不管情不情願,對於比別人慢一步這回事,充滿了恐懼。因為根本沒有機會跟自己相處,所以我們很難真的認識自己,直到有一天突然一覺醒來,赫然發現自己大學畢業了,念了二十年的書,卻好像沒有地方可以發揮,覺得自己滿腹的才華,卻好像沒有伯樂懂得賞識,更甚的,好手好腳,卻不知道自己存在的意義是什麼。"

Paint--- The Tree of Life/Klimt




















ref
"

The Tree of Life

1909

by Gustav Klimt


The Tree of Life is an important symbol in nearly every culture. With its branches reaching into the sky, and roots deep in the earth, it dwells in three worlds- a link between heaven, the earth, and the underworld, uniting above and below. It is both a feminine symbol, bearing sustenance, and a masculine, visibly phallic symbol- another union."



ps.
feminine (女性的): conventionally associated with women
sustenance: Food and drink regarded as a source of strength; nourishment
masculine (男性的): of traditional manly character
phallic (陰莖的, 陰莖崇拜的):  of phallus: relating to or resembling a phallus

I met Klimt last October as traveling in Vienna, 

I love his "gold leaf" works :))))))










































so bought some post cards of his masterpiece to home
(it's the most economical choice ^^a )

hope you would like his paints

Movie-- Pope Joan/聖袍天下:驚世女教皇 (2009)

IMDb
"A 9th century woman of English extraction (英國血統) born in the German city of Ingelheim disguises (偽裝, 裝扮) herself as a man and rises through the Vaticanv (梵諦岡) ranks (an official position)."


Amazon
"One of the most controversial (爭論的) women of history is brought to brilliant life in Donn Woolfolk Cross's (小說作者) tale of Pope Joan, a girl whose origins (出身) should have kept her in squalid (髒的) domesticity ((家庭)生活). Instead, through her intelligence, indomitability (不屈不饒) and courage, she ascended (登上) to the throne of (寶座) Rome as Pope John Anglicus.



The time is 814, the place is Ingelheim, a Frankland village. It is the harshest winter in living memory when Joan is born to an English father and a Saxon mother. Her father is a canon (教士), filled with holy zeal (狂熱, 熱誠) and capable of unconscionable cruelty (指 會做出一些極度(讓人無法理解的)殘忍/酷行為). His piety (虔誠) does not extend to his family members, especially the females. His wife, Gudrun, is a young beauty to whom he was attracted beyond his will--and he hates her for showing him his weakness. Gudrun teaches Joan about her gods, and is repeatedly punished for it by the canon. Joan grows to young womanhood with the combined knowledge of the warlike Saxon gods and the teachings of the Church as her heritage (命運, 天命). Both realities inform her life forever.


When her brother John, not a scholarly type, is sent away to school, Joan, who was supposed to be the one sent to school, runs away and joins him in Dorstadt, at Villaris, the home of Gerold, who is central to Joan's story. She falls in love with Gerold and their lives interesect repeatedly even through her Papacy(當教皇的時期). She is looked upon (被(信徒們)仰望; 想像他剛被宣布為教宗, 登基時, 站在台上受眾人敬拜的場面) by all who (Gerold) know that she is a woman as a "lusus naturae(Latin)," a freak of nature. "She was... male in intellect, female in body, she fit in nowhere; it was as if she belonged to a third amorphous sex." Cross (苦難) makes the case over and over again that the status (身分, 地位) of women in the Dark Ages was little better than cattle(牲口). They were judged inferior in every way, and necessary evils in the bargain.


After John (Joan的二哥) is killed in a Viking (維京人的) attack, Joan sees her opportunity to escape the fate of all her gender (性別). She cuts her hair, dons (put on) her dead brother's clothes and goes into the world as a young boy. Gerold is away from Villaris at the time of the attack and comes home to find his home in ruins, his family killed and Joan among (In the company of) the missing. After the attack, Joan goes to a Benedictine monastery (男修道院// convent 女子修道院), is accepted as a young man of great learning, and eventually makes her way to Rome."


附註:
ha, 有認真的把簡單名詞翻譯加上去~


開眼電影
"一千一百多年前,羅馬天主教會一位女扮男裝、懷孕生子的教皇懸案,浮上檯面…,本片改編自唐娜伍佛柯羅思全球暢銷小說,以驚心動魄的影像,呈現一段融合性別與宗教的波盪。 

西元814年的歐洲中古時代,當時女性飽受社會的歧視與種種限制。約漢娜(喬漢娜沃卡萊克 飾)是一位擁有英格蘭血統的女子,她誕生於一個德國平凡的家庭。從小,她在教士父親重男輕女的觀念下長大,但,憑著過人的才智、膽識,約漢娜女扮男裝,頂替早逝的哥哥進入修道院。 

雖然冒著被揭發的危險,但約漢娜還是以卓越醫術獲得教皇的信任。至此,她深知自己身負重任,更毅然放棄兒女情長和女性身分,決定永遠在眾人面前當一個男性。 

一連串的政治、權力鬥爭,女扮男裝的她,都一一衝破難關,終而登上教廷的最高位階。然而,成為萬眾景仰教皇的她,卻仍難抵擋真愛的呼喚—,未來的教皇之路,又會萌生什麼變數呢…?"

Something

R0015827_crop

過農曆年回新竹後,
有了很多跟以往認為不會出現的想法出現在自己的腦袋...

很多時刻, 都想做做記錄....
但每每翻開本子 or 打開 blog 時, 那衝動就消逝...

即便到現在, 所有念頭一樣混沌 = =a
總之, 先隨意打打大綱....

- Sentimental
這次回家待了一周多 (不包含除夕前一週回家油漆2天),
算是近.... 8年吧~ 留在家裡最久的一段日子,
不知怎的,
總感覺常見面的的家人與親戚 (父母, 叔叔, 姑姑, 阿姨, 舅舅, ...)老得特別明顯,
(和那些 叔公, 姨婆相比);
大學和碩士班時期那種可以拋下一切出國追夢的灑脫與豪情似乎減少了很多...

很多同學朋友, 都以有正式的工作甚至成家,
先不論那工作是否是我喜歡的 or 收入如何,
總是進入了人生的另一階段,
我, 自1983 出生自今, 很幸福的過著生活:
爺爺, 父母, 叔叔, 姑姑, 妹妹... ,女友....
每個人對於我的任性與夢想的追尋 & 許多奢侈的喜好 總是與以支持與容忍~

很許多人相比, 何其幸運,
竟走在兒時的其中一條夢想的道路上,
...
.....
可惜的是, 不知從某天開始, 怠惰了 (這是另一段故事, 哪天再來討論唄)!


- Dreamland
躲在小天地裡的我, 最近似乎特別的多夢;
不乏 被背叛, 逃跑, .., 極度哀傷, 無助.... (怪哉, 總之要解夢的話就是 壓力(笑~));
其實, 還蠻感激那腦子所模擬出的這些場景,
讓我預先體會了很多人生抉擇(or 我還沒有勇氣做的選擇);
昨天的一場:
我還是個正為申請博士班努力的碩士生,
和現實不同的是, 準備申請的是"建築相關"科系,
醒來前, 似乎正陷入
"為何自己會走上建築相關的領域, 和自己原本主修的領域差這樣多?"
"那些在自己領域繼續深造的人何其幸運...."
這類的思考中~
醒來後, 慶幸 :) 我還是原來的我~


- Once was, maybe still be
對於研究這檔事, 依舊很愛!!!!!
只是.... (笑~)
曾經, 想把現階段的東西當作 Project 來做, 也做了一陣子~
想想可笑....... 當專題生時的熱血, 碩士生時的幹勁,..... 哪去了?
明明還是很愛的一份工作, 卻熱情不在 Orz
很複雜!!!!!
某學長曾說過: 既然來了, 就先完成它吧!
就先完成它吧~
現實總是如此, 但逃避總是最糟的做法!
就先完成它吧~


- Quote
"要學會在不喜歡的人面前微笑, 不動聲色"
老實說, 我也沒有啥真正不喜歡的人~
大家多數時候都對我很好 :) (即便是常要凹人的人~)
在不喜歡的人面前微笑, 似乎也是在這世間生存的第一門課,
值得開心與悲傷的是, 我似乎在年紀不這麼長的時候, 便有了許多練習....

- Sum Up
周遭有很多愛我的人, 與越來越多我愛的人, 支持著我;
有些事,是到了該了結的階段,為自己, 也為那些人~
很多時刻, 笑一下(即便是虛偽的)便過了, 不用太計較, 人生路上美好的人事物還等著呢 :)
加油, 好嗎 :)))

Movie-- Maléfique/聖歌(or 監獄驚駭日, 兇符) (2002)



= =" I do not find any trailers with English or Traditional Chinese subtitle.....
so.... we can image it with help of IMDb's description and the trailer~

And 台灣的朋友~ :) 你們可以在 PPS 上找到它耶!

It's a extreme bloody movie.....
so make sure you are not in a meal as watching it.....

IMDb
"In a penitentiary, four prisoners occupy a cell: Carrère, who used his company to commit a fraud and was betrayed by his wife; the drag Marcus and his protégée, the retarded Paquerette, who ate his six months sister; and the intellectual, Lassalle who killed his wife. One night, Carrère finds an ancient journal hidden in a hole in the wall of the cell. They realize that the book was written by Danvers in the beginning of the last century and is about black magic. They decide to read and use its content to escape from the prison, when they find the truth about Danvers' fate."

"聖歌劇情簡介:簡介:一名商人在被判入獄後在獄中悟出原來是他妻子陷害了他,奪走了他的公司、財產以及兒子。主人公所在的牢房內另有三人:一名易性癖的青年男子,一名什麼東西都要喫的弱智年輕男子以及一名具有紳士風度的老年男子。某日,主人公在自己的床靠著的牆壁裡發現了一本古舊的書本,居然是二十世紀二十年代的一位魔法師的日記,上面記載了他發現的種種黑魔法。牢房裡的四人無意間發現書上的魔法居然都無比靈驗,便決定利用穿牆而過的魔法逃獄。一次失敗的嘗試之後,弱智的年輕男子撕扯著喫下了書頁,便痛苦地扭曲著死去了;母親般深愛著他的易性癖男子痛苦地將書丟出了牢房的窗戶,主人公和老紳士錯愕不已 活著的三人該怎麼辦呢?第二天,監獄管理人員清理了亂喫東西的年輕人的尸首後,一位穿著像魔術師般的中年人進入了牢房,帶著他的DV,在死去的年輕人的床位住下了。可是第二天他又消失不見了,監獄管理人員說根本沒有送來過新的犯人。主人公三人在那人留下的DV中看到了那人晚間施行穿牆而過的魔法的錄像,並且在牢房中再次發現了那本書。這一回,他們成功了,但是在施行了魔法之後,他們發現自己不是在牢房外面,而是來到了... "

TW_Bolg
"... 這部法國的恐怖片卻是完全不同的表現型式,全片的場景就在幾間牢房之中,完整且緊湊的演出了一個與魔鬼交易的故事
一個商人入獄後和一個性相怪異的男子,一個什麼都吃的弱智和一位看似有智慧長者關在同一個牢房裡.一天偶然在牢房中發現一本記載黑魔法的日記,記載著可以逃出牢房的黑魔法,四人無意中發先魔法居然無比靈驗,主角起初因為保釋在即對逃獄不感興趣.其餘三人逃脫失敗之後弱智男子吃下日記而慘死,日記因此被丟棄.豈料,一名小丑般的男子在獄卒清除屍體後帶著魔法書搬進了這間牢房,隔天卻又離奇消失,主角在他留下的攝影機中發現黑魔法果真可以幫助他們離開,在得知妻子得背叛後,主角決定逃獄復仇,離開前,攝影機里又出現了奇怪的錄相...
離開之後,三人來到了另外一間牢房,設法離開的同時,三個人心中的希望都一一的被實現,卻也付出了巨大的代價...

就像浮士德一樣,和魔鬼交易通常不會有太好的下場,片中的幾位主角為了心中願望,都付出了極大的代價,全片成功的營造出了黑暗,恐怖的氣氛,雖然沒有嚇人用的片段,卻還是叫人看了背脊發毛,區區兩個房間,五個演員,就構成了一部完整的電影,不會讓人有貧乏或是不完整的感覺,導演的功力讓人佩服

小成本未必就不能做出好片,中文電影在有限的票房之下,這是一個很好的發展方向"

Movie--- Sleepers/ 豪情四兄弟(1996)

IMDb
開眼電影



"在《豪情四兄弟》中,巴瑞李文森用了三段式的映像風格,以呈現劇中四位小兄弟的少年無知,與牢獄中的黯慘無光!乃至法庭中為了復仇所展現的陰冷與低調,來反映他們一朝受辱、終生難忘的人生陰影。 "

"After a prank goes disastrously wrong, a group of boys are sent to a detention center where they are brutalized; over 10 years later, they get their chance for revenge."


by the way, Robert De Niro was so young~

Quote--- Celine/ Before Sunset, Thesdays With Morrie (1999)/ 最後14堂星期二的課, It's Complicated(2009)/ 愛找麻煩

" There was this famous writer ----I don't remember who---who said the ideal relationship
 was two intense years, with clean breaks, fresh starts, friends for life, something like that.
It's like you know your relationship had to end in two years, there would be no room for fighting
or wasted time. There could be more love and appreciation for one another. It's like, if everyone you met you knew was going to die at midnight, you would be a much more compassionate person. I mean, everyone's going to die, but since no one knows when, there's all the time in the world to be assholes to one another."

And it evokes me another movie "Thesdays With Morrie (1999)/ 最後14堂星期二的課"

I read this book when I was a senior high school student....















till last week, I saw the movie :)))
It's still so touch and introspective~



And.... ^^ "It's Complicated(2009)/ 愛找麻煩"

yap, what the movie try to explain is really soooooo complicated! :)
People always find how much they love and care about each other after

And when the moment passed........ (smile)
This love would stay in the deepest of your heart~
How so????
You know, it's complicated~
