My mind keeps spinning these days.
I think a lot about the past memories and future path.
Though I knew that this stress would drive me crazy, I can’t stop thinking.
Luckily, I got my family, friends, teachers who support and stand by me.
I hope that this habit would have a positive effect in my life. lalaalallalaaaa 😀
於車箱
無所是事的她用手中的蘋果電話看蘋果動新聞
看着一式一樣的嫩模擺首弄姿
心想自己化厚些妝加打幾支botox
應該不比她們遜色吧
她邊tap邊欣賞剛剛修的花甲
心中盤算着下星期要購買最新型號的平板電腦
皆因”好姊妹”selina也有一部
怕被她說一句”做咩唔買呀?超好用喎!不過慳錢都啱嘅,
好似我咁成日追款呀,真係幾曬錢嫁!哈哈”
雖然她已經欠下幾個月卡數
但一想到selina的嘴臉
她竟下定決心少買幾件衣飾 節儉些
儲錢買那部打了濾固醇的蘋果電話
下次gathering才不會聽到那個三八的冷言冷語
另一邊箱
剛剛大學畢業的她 好不容易才找到工作
前三年她埋首攻讀電子工程
怎料從前執筆之手
現竟用來組裝蘋果電話
每次想到對自己抱以期望的雙親 她就想哭
但她強忍着 怕弄濕枱上的零件
會被工頭罵得狗血淋頭
上星期她鄰坐名叫小妮的女工 因手腳太慢
而被扣去半個月工資 令她不敢恃慢
她日日都絕看到日出 幾個失眠的晚上 竟萌生自殺的念頭
但一想到年老多病的父母 就立心堅強生活下去
即使每天面對的都是冷冰冰 七零八落的電子零件
無論一個人怎樣痛苦的哭訴
都無法令另一個人因而改變
像一部失敗的悲情電影
銀幕上的主角聲淚俱下
觀眾卻咬著爆谷
對那主角評頭論足
覺得無聊便中途離場
家人如是 朋友如是 情人如是
因為執著的是你 在意的是你 與人無尤
所以以後
我上演的是一部默片
可能偶有一兩句對白 但不多
觀眾席上通常只有我一人
或偶爾有一兩位朋友 但不多
說的話再多
都不能把你的心放於別人的心上
不竟 口和心有一段距離
你和他的心都有一段距離
就算緊緊的抱擁 距離還在
天生成的 人怎能改變
讀了梁文道的我執, 好像認識了一位知己。
我都知道了，這一切謊言與妄想，
卑鄙與怯懦 它們就像顏料和素材，
正好可以塗抹出一整座城市，
以及其中無數的場景和遭遇。你所見到的，只不過是自己的想像。
你以為是自己的，只不過是種偶然。
握得愈緊愈是徒然，此之謂我我執。
“Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.” ~Sophia Loren
Even though I got Joey McIntyre of The New Kids on the Block to sign my scoliosis back brace in the sixth grade, I still felt ugly wearing it.
I didn’t realize the irony back then, but in retrospect it’s a little funny I grew crooked considering I convinced myself I was wilting in my sister’s shadow. (I also had braces and headgear, but that’s another story.)
I was a kid who wanted to be beautiful, but more desperately wanted to feel loved. My self esteem increased through the years, but I never quite shook the sneaking suspicion I’d be never be beautiful enough. Or maybe lovable enough.
It would be easy to blame it all on society and the Kate Moss era of modeling, but I think it’s more than that. I just never learned to notice and appreciate all the beautiful things about myself. The stuff that has nothing to do with my waistline, skin tone or eye lashes and everything to do with who I am.
I never learned to give myself the credit for all the good I do in the world. I was too busy cataloging my weaknesses, mistakes, and flaws to recognize it.
It seems like such a cliche to say pretty is as pretty does, but the truth is physical beauty is subjective. And no matter how closely someone matches your ideal of physical perfection, that will eventually fade. What endures are the qualities, passions, and habits we nurture.
That’s what makes us beautiful–and believe me when I say there is something beautiful in everyone. If you’ve done any of the following lately, you are absolutely beautiful:
1. Smile. As the quote goes, “I’ve never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful.”
2. Be there for someone who needs you even if there’s nothing in it for you–give without expectations.
3. Make a sacrifice for someone you love.
4. Admit a mistake, even if it’s hard to say you’re wrong, and work to make amends.
5. Share your struggles, putting your ego aside, to make someone else feel less alone.
6. Create something that helps people. A song, a blog, a support group, a non-profit–anything that inspires.
7. Help a child feel good about him or herself.
8. Tell someone what you appreciate about them, even if you feel vulnerable.
9. Forgive someone without needing to hear the words, “I’m sorry.”
10. Give someone an uncomfortably long hug when they need it.
10. Create positive energy around you by thinking positive thoughts and acting with positive intentions.
11. Sit with reality without judging anyone or anything.
12. Accept someone for who they are instead of trying to change them to who you want them to be.
13. Treat people like you want to be treated.
14. Notice something simple but beautiful in the world around you.
15. Acknowledge the beauty in others, instead of feeling threatened or competing with other people.
16. Be the change you want to see in the world, as per Gandhi’s suggestion.
17. Tap into your personal power and do something that makes a difference in the world.
18. Find strength in a challenging moment. It’s not easy to do, and you deserve credit for it.
19. Talk kindly about the world around you instead of gossiping or complaining.
20. Forget yourself for a minute and do nothing but listen to someone who needs it.
21. Measure a person by their best moments, not their worst.
22. Give yourself the same courtesy–focus on the good you’ve done, not the mistakes you’ve made.
23. Take the high road when someone hurts you instead if being cruel or catty.
24. Make someone laugh. A smile can literally melt stress and pain away. How beautiful of you to do that for someone else!
25. Make someone cry–tears of joy that is. People want to feel moved, inspired, motivated. Never underestimate the power of touching someone’s heart.
26. Keep an open mind instead of sticking with a judgment or assumption.
27. Love what you’re tempted to fear.
28. Be the voice of optimism when the people around you need it badly.
29. Show humility when your accomplishments would make it easy to stand above people.
30. Handle rejection or failure with grace. It’s far more easily said than done–and it sounds so cheesy and cliche–but accepting loss gracefully makes you a true winner.
31. Show unbridled enthusiasm for something that excites you. All children are beautiful, and I think their unadulterated joy has a lot to do with it.
32. Hear what someone means, not just what they say. Anyone can nitpick. Not everyone actively works to be understanding.
33. Imagine a world where people know peace, and do one small thing to create it.
34. Honor the values that matter to you. Showing integrity is the first step to feeling good about yourself.
35. Accept and love yourself, just as you are in this moment.
And now a disclaimer: some days you may not do anything written above–in fact, you might do the exact opposite. On those days you are still beautiful.
There are times when, like Alexander, I’m having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Times when it seems like I might get swept into the tornado of chaos around me. Times when the voice in my head is unkind, and I interpret everything that happens through a negative filter. When I think the worst of people and complain about it; when I expect the worst of my day and lament it.
This admission might seem like the biggest possible acknowledgment of hypocrisy, but I have nothing to give if not my honesty. And the reality is I am imperfect. We all are. We all have moments of weakness–but they’ll only define us if they far surpass moments of kindness, compassion, love, and strength.
Being beautiful doesn’t mean adhering to some picture-perfect fantasy, or living every moment that way. It means realizing this moment is a new opportunity to be who you want to be, and making the effort to seize it.
How will you be beautiful today?
She loves watching TV.
She loves collecting plastic bags.
She loves taking care of the others.
It’s time to ACT.

Yesterday night, i heard a good metaphor from a television show.
In English,
” When dogs see something strange, they are afraid, then bark.
When cats see something unusual, they are curious, then observe.”
The guy who said this is not handsome :P,
but I still admire him coz he travelled around the world
for 37 months using only HK$8,000!
How to do that?! I want it too!
The world is really big and has a lot to be explored.
Don’t be someone who is bound by the traditions, rules, marks ……
It’s a waste of LIFE if you think in a tiny box!

I accidentally found Jonathan Mak’s blog.
He is a design student at PolyU too.
I really appreciate him coz he is dare to try different design executions.
I am one year older than him, but I am immature in design comparing with him.
Oh, it’s time to ACT! and no time to be wasted!!!

Today’s Motto:
Be a CAT and ACT!
amazing 😀

As sly as a fox, as strong as an ox
As fast as a hare, as brave as a bear
As free as a bird, as neat as a word
As quite as a mouse, as big as a house
As mean as a wolf, as sharp as a tooth
As deep as a bite, as dark as the night
As sweet as a song, as right as a wrong
As long as a road, as ugly as a toad
As pretty as a picture hanging from a fixture
Strong like a family, strong as I wanna be
Bright as day, as light as play
As hard as nails, as grand as a whale
As warm as the, the sun, as silly as fun
As cool as a tree, as scary as the sea
As hot as fire, cold as ice
Sweet as sugar and everything nice
As old as time, as straight as a line
As royal as a queen, as buzzed as a bee
Stealth as a tiger, smooth as a glide
Pure as a melody, pure as I wanna be
All I wanna be, all I wanna be, oh
All I wanna be is everything

real nice, witty lyrics I have ever heard
BE EVERYTHING.
