Titanic

My favourite movie


I remember that it was my standard 3 in primary school.
I was crazy over this movie.
My room was full of Titanic post cards, posters...
Everything I could have
key chains, cards, stationery...
were all Titanic...

I watched it over and over again.
and still crying when I watch...

I love this movie because
can see the differences between the poor and rich,
how the poor one enjoyed their life,

how the rich one dress up,



Pablo Picasso's paintings.

"You jump, I jump"

"I'm the king of the world"

The band continue to play as the ship went under,

an old couple embracing in bed as water pours into their cabin,

the third class passengers locked below the ship,
the mother sing lullaby for her children to calm them,

Captain Smith go into the bridge to await his fate.

Jack painted Roses


Not to mentioned about the love between
Jack and Rose.


Many people doubt the love of Rose to Jack,
if she really love Jack so much,
why she getting marry with others?
why she seems enjoying her life?
don't she sad and suffer for losing Jack?

Oh NO!!!
You're wrong...
Rose loves Jack.
very very much.

She getting marry, enjoyed her life is
because she loves Jack.

Weird??

Let us recall the part when Jack and Rose in the water.


"R: I love you, Jack.

J: No... don't say your goodbyes, Rose.
Don't you give up.
Don't do it.

R: I'm so cold.

J: You're going to get out of this..
You're going to go on and you're going to make babies
and watch them grow
and you're going to die an old lady,
warm in your bed.
Not here...
Not this night,
Do you understand me?

R: I can't feel my body.

J: Rose, listen to me. 
Winning that tickets was the best thing that ever happened to me.
It brought me to you.
and I'm thankful, Rose.
I'm thankful.
You must do me this honor...
Promise me you will survive..
that you will never give up..
no matter what happens...
no matter how hopeless..
promise me now,
and never let go of that promise.

R: I promise.



Jack: Never let go.

R: I promise.
I will never let go, Jack.
I'll never let go."



Rose is living her promise to Jack for her entire life.
make babies, watch them grow, 
die as an old lady,
on warm bed.

She did it.

Before she dies,
the images of Jack and people who died on Titanic came into her mind,


Jack is reminding her their date,
but the clock
(did you see the time of the clock?)
Their date is 9 o'clock.
But the clock showed 2.15.

2.15 is the time Titanic sank.
So, Rose is going back to that time when the Titanic sank 
to meet with Jack and everyone.

All she wants for her entire life is
do what she promised Jack 
and meet him when she dies.

And when Rose is saved,
the immigration officer asked her, Name?
she answered, 
Dawson,
Rose Dawson.
(Jack's name is Jack Dawson,
she named herself after Jack)
and live as Jack's wife.

No matter the story of
Jack and Rose


or the old couple



Titanic is a romantic and lovely movie.

Think Different



Think different,
it is not "Think differently" makes the point.


This is the Apple 
"Think Different" commercial.
In the commercial:

"Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes
The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.And while some see them as the crazy ones,
we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
that they can change the world… are the ones who do.
"You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things."

This is my favourite lines of the ads.
And also my feeling about Steve Jobs.

After get to know more about him, 
I disagree with his behaviour, actions and values, etc.
But I can't ignore him.
Because he changed the world.

He don't do market research,
because he thinks that 
"A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show them."
"Did Alexander Graham Bell do market research before he invented telephone?"


lol... 

I love this.

Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson

Busy reading this book


"Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson"
biography of Setve Jobs,
the founder of Apple.

over 600 pages...

More than half way I am now...
feel so happy!

Actually I'm addicted to this book.
The author-- Walter Isaacson
becomes someone I admire a lot.

What he wrote bring me into the Steve Job's life.
I can imagine and picture what was going on.

Steve Jobs' life is so dramatic!
It is more dramatic than "Gossip Girl".
lol...

It attracts me to continue reading and don't wanna sleep.
Share more after I finish reading.

Strongly recommand this book if you have time.
=)

Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn,
favourite actress of Blair Waldorf (a character in Gossip Girl)
=)


Before knowing Blair likes Audrey,
I only heard of Roman Holiday and My Fair Lady of Audrey.



Heard but didn't watch before... lol.

After Gossip Girl's scene of Blair version of
"Breakfast at Tiffany's"


lol...
I wonder how's the real one...
Therefore,
I watched Audrey's play as below.


She's so beautiful....

Audrey Hepburn is not only has beautiful face,
But also has a very beautifully angel heart.

She contribute a lot for UNICEF.
She received food and medical relief right after World War II,
Therefore, she testify to what UNICEF means to children.
And She was appointed to be Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF.

She made a series of UNICEF field trips to 
Ethiopia, Venezuela, Ecuador,
Guatemala, Honduras, El Salavdor,
Thailand, Sudan and etc...



Kind hearted people always look great.
Look at her angel's smile...

Coco Chanel

Gabrielle "Coco" Bonheur Chanel,

founder of my favourite brand- Chanel.
She is the only fashion designer named in
Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century.

Get to know more about her after I watched
"Coco Before Chanel".

French Movie: Coco avant Chanel


This movie changed my perpective to Chanel.
Before this, Chanel is a high end brand,
a symbol of taste and elegant.

But in the movie,
I found out that the founder was a singer in a bar,
she smoked, she drunk always.
Her nick name "Coco" is earned by singing the song
"Ko Ko Ri Ko" aka " Qui qu'a vu coco"

this is the song.

OMG!!
ruined the image and the idea of mine to the founder...
and the "Coco" series.
It is no longer elegant to me.


BUT
Chanel is now a "romantic"brand to me.
This is a brand represent "Love".
Unique love.
There's no pink or red,
There's no heart shape,
There's no words of "LOVE"
in this brand.

But the spirit of Chanel is love.

When all the women colourful dress with 'cancan',
wear hats with feathers...
Coco dare to be different.
She wear black and white,
with simple design.
Capel the most important man in Coco's life,
who believe her talent in fashion.

"There's no one else like you"
said Capel to Coco.
This is another word
which has same meaning to
"I love you".

When you are disagreed by the world,
the one who agree with you
must be
the one who love you the most.

Capel helped Coco to start her business.
When the business going well,
Capel passed away in car accident.
Coco continue with the "Chanel" business
as a reminder for her love to Capel.
Because this is the only thing they shared in their life.


Why the logo of Chanel is 2 cross over "C"?
It represents Capel and Coco.

This is what I guess...
lol..
Anyway,
It is a romantic guessing of mine...

If you ever receive a Chanel gift,
it means
the person is telling you that
"There's no one else like you".
aka
"I love you".

Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe
the sexiest American actress.

Heard thousands times of this name,
but did not really know how was she really look like
until I watched
"My week with Marilyn"


This is a movie about Marilyn's one week life
when she cast for
"The Prince and the Showgirl".

Below is the real Marilyn's
"The Prince and the Showgirl"
What I'll say is
Marilyn Monroe is not replacable.
Even i think that Michelle Williams did a great job in
"My Week with Marilyn".
But after I watch the real
"The Prince and Showgirl",
Marilyn is more natural.


This is my favourite song by Marilyn
"Diamonds are girl's best friend"
^ ^

This video totally explains why Marilyn is the classic, irreplacable sexy symbol.
No wonder the world fall for her...
=)

She is so very beautiful...
Cheers for Marilyn Monroe

Water- Why Every Drop Counts

"Water,
without it life does not exist.
That's why blue has become
THE NEW GREEN!"

by Glenn Van Zutphen


Kindly spend less than 5 minutes to watch this clip:
Letter written in the year 2070
The article published in the magazine
"Cronicas de lostiempos" in April 2002.

Mandarin

English


Feel the feeling of our next generation,
then take action.

Action speaks louder than words....
Save Water!!!

You and I love the Earth.

Environmental Protection

What is my main activity lately?
I'll say,
one of the most important thing in 2012.
Preparing power point slides regards environmental protection for the whole school.
It is an awesome job!
By putting in my efforts,
more than 5000 people can realise the importance of environmental protection.
The power and area of influence is very huge.
=)
This is why I love my job.
The world can be changed through education.

我肯定这个世界会因为我而有小小的改变。

Let me share some parts of the PPT with you.
=)

Start the PPT with a picture of "Earth on Hand"
Our Earth, the place we live on.
We are actually the one who decide the future of Earth and our future.
Because the Earth is on Our Hand.
If we take good care of it, the Earth will be beautifully as shown in the picture.
If we ignore and abandon the Earth, so do our future.

何谓“环保”?
环保是环境保护的简称。

环保分为两个层面:大自然的保护(山水海树等)及人类居住环境的保护。
这两者可谓:“你中有我,我中有你”。

作为公民来说,我们对于居住、生活环境的保护,就是间接或直接地保护了自然环境;
我们破坏了居住、生活的环境,就会直接或间接地破坏自然环境。

《正负2度C》是大家耳熟能详的名字,
但如果你还没正式看过,请立刻观赏!
(这里只是两个部分,共有八部分,可到youtube找到)
从短片中可以得知,
海水温度升高的影响:
Œ升温C  地球1/3表面水资源流失.
升温C  欧洲居民中暑而亡;
           1/3的物种濒临灭种。
Ž升温C  亚马逊热带雨林荡然无存;
           超级飓风袭击城市;
           非洲闹饥慌。

C 永冻层失控地快速溶解,
          至少会有5000亿吨的有毒气体,  
          将由北极冰原释放出来。
升温C 人类逐食物而居,形同野生动物  
          在这片土地上苟延残喘。
升温C 地球上的生物会完全灭迹;
          唯一存活下只有微菌。


三月三十一日,地球日
晚上八点三十分与大家有约。
你关灯了吗?

然而事实是,
就算全世界关灯一年,
地球暖化的现象还是得持续一段时间。

除了省电以外,防止地球暖化的步骤是
保护森林。

森林消失了。。。
ToT

看了你就会明白热带雨林消失的真相。



看看我们科技的发达,砍一棵树到底需要多少时间??
不到三秒砍下!
残酷的事实:
每两秒钟,便有像足球场那么大的森林消失在地球上。

请节省纸张,
每节省50公斤的纸=救一棵20年的树

请不要随手丢掉纸张,用双面,最后放进环保箱回收。


“小小的举动,
这个世界也会因你而有小小的改变”
