±2℃/正負2度C

各位鄉親父老兄弟姊妹
我們不能再漠視地球暖化這個問題了
傷害地球環境這麼多年
最後傷害的只是我們自己

http://mepopedia.com/?page=394

看看這些短片
想像一下我們未來可能要面對的困境
再冷漠下去
等我四十歲的時候
可能就要當氣候難民了 (小弟今年二十有六單身!!!)

到時候
住在台北的人,就跟住在小林村的人一樣
或者更慘 (因為水不會退)

可是我覺得身旁的人沒有很關心這件大事
叫大家一起跟我去報名志工也不踴躍

http://正負2度c.tw (加入志工!!)

氣候變遷已經是一件無比重要的大事,
如果海平面繼續上升,台灣是全世界最早受影響的國家之一
我們不只需要關注
更要開始行動
不只是從個人
更要將這個議題提升到國家層級

因為除了個人可以做的事之外
我們需要更嚴厲的法則來限制產業排放溫室氣體
需要用法律提供各行各業各層級轉型綠色企業更多的誘因

身為個人我們不只要將行動訴諸政府
也要以行動反映我們的需求給大企業

再不行動....我可能在討到老婆前就成為氣候難民了...而大家以後也看不到台北市了...

I LOVE YOU Philip Morris

Watched this crazy movie yesterday.

Donno what to say.

Not to sure how to categorize this movie.

Romance? Comedy? Suspense? Drama?

It is them all, yet not quite so.

The movie has a lot of dicks, many referrings to sucking the dicks, calling people faggots a lot.

I love the humour in it. And I am made uncomfortable by the performance of affection shown in the movie.


It is just TOOO GAY!

With Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey, it is tooooo GAY.


I like it when Jim Carrey says "I am gonna live my life! I am a faggot! I am gonna be a fucking faggot!"

I like how candor this movie goes sexually.

It is just way tooo funny and way toooo gay.

Back For Good, by Take That

Haven't been able to write up something concrete lately.

Not because I am starting to get numb and stop having feelings and thoughts, but I was preoccupied.

Then I hear this song, and it brings me back to a simpler time, when I was young and naive, and listen to love songs just because they sound good and the stories they convey says something abstract yet beautiful to me.

Emotions are usually pure, and relationships are usually uncomplicated. Songs does not tell you the practical barriers in relationships and they simply tell you everything will be fine as long as you have the heart to deal with your relationship.... easy to say...

But the songs are still nevertheless priceless and invaluable.

I heard this song when I was 12, saw those guys on MTV being showered stupid by rain. I think BackstreetBoys follow suit for their I will never break your heart MTV, and did very stupid poses in there too (I realized how stupid they were a very good 7 years after the song was released and my housemate was still screaming over those videos).

I like the guitar in the prelude. I like it when they the first line pops out of the background music. I like it when he says it is good time to give up. The sight of a cup of lipstick mark. So how long does a person out of your life linger? Do you hear the man's regret when he says he does not mean the stuff he said? Seeing the one you love excel after being free?

The man is heartbroken...

Let's hear it!

I guess now it's time for me to give up
I feel it's time
Got a picture of you beside me
Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
Got a fist of pure emotion
Got a head of shattered dreams
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now

Whatever I said, whatever I did, I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood

Unaware but underlined I figured out the story
It wasn't good
But in the corner of my mind I celebrated glory
But that was not to be
In the twist of separation you excelled at being free
Can't you find a little room inside for me

Whatever I said, whatever I did, I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood

And we'll be together, this time is forever
We'll be fighting and forever we will be
So complete in our love
We will never be uncovered again

YipYapping about CARING

As civilization progress, some people are left behind.

And we see these people left behind sometimes end up on the street.

Life was simple. In human history, the way of living never advanced this quickly.

So new rules of survival came into play.

Corporates did not appeared until 1600. And after that, way of living changed for all people.

Those who refused to change, got left behind and was left with little resources.

Long time ago, people like me, who does not know how to farm or make a chair or kill a pig, would never get rich unless I go into government (or kingdom beauracracy).

But after industrial revolution, the situation reversed.

So, what if, the base of the industrial revolution is cut off. And what if we were forced to live the way our ancestors from many centuries ago lived.

And what if, one day, our nature starts to fight back to our ever pounding on it since industrial revolution. What if, one day, the force that has driven this industrial civilization forward, Energy, is cut off.

What if one day, when all those left behind grow into a significant population and was fed up by others who over-uses their share of resources on this planet. Riot results? Violence everywhere?

If we just keep focusing on ourselves and feed our needs, but not to care about other people's needs by looking at what they want and deserve, or maybe fill their needs to be respected and being taken care of, we may very well bring doom to ourselves. If we just keep focusing on ourselves and feed our needs, but not to care about Mother Nature's by looking at what the planet need, or maybe fill nature's needs to be balanced in all its elements, we may very well bring doom to ourselves, too.

L-O-V-E quoting MJ

I guess I am touched...

FIRST ONE OF OUR OWN

Hey just wanna say congratulations on getting married.

You are the first one of our own to step into the life after "singlehood", and I am freaking jealous that you have found the one you would want to spend the rest of ur life with :). I wish I had one right now by my side. The one who I want now refuse to talk me and is avoiding my contact too, and I think I am fine with it, coz I never knew how to treat a lady I suppose. There has been many reported incidents lately that I insulted great women friends lately. And with your card saying I need to tone down "manhood", I think I started to understand more about myself. And all of a sudden I don't feel so good about my conducts.

A coworker once told me that my mouth is as sharp as a knife, but my heart is as soft as a jelly. And with this "characteristics" of me, I hurt people who are closest to me the most. Guys might be fine with my constant mocking and teasing (as long as they have the ability to fight back), girls can't. And with that attitude of me, I probably hurt the one girl who were closet to me, and I don't even realize it. And to think I hurt someone I love that frequent, I bled in my heart.

So I vow to myself to be a warmer person, and to be a better and more responsible man, to both my duties as a person and my emotions. And I thank you for helping me realize this. I hope I can still fight my way back to get that girl. And to realize that I could become a better person and had a shot (so far no progress whatsoever) at someone (and probably the only one) with whom I would ever fall in love actually put more meaning in my life not only on the personal scale but my sense of purpose in my life.

You have been a great friend. You are always thoughtful for people around you and put others comforts before yours. That is some quality you rarely see these day. I feel super blessed to have met you so early in my life: to learn from you, to grow with you, and to be happy for you on your BIG BIG day tomorrow.

加油!!

CONGRATULATIONS

Taipei Car Expo
















Went to the Taipei Car Expo today.

Had more fun than I expected.



Saw many hot models and some cool, "moving house (pricewise)" type of vehicles. Also saw many concept cars that are either out of this world or simply very "imaginable" (ie. not so futuristic).

For some reason, all "affordable" brands are pushing their energy saving and zero carbon emission vehicles. But non can differentiate themselved and give me a strong impression of whether their carbon emission cutting technology would be all worthwhile for me. So as a company trying to come out in a hurd of brands in front of the customers, how you present your product thus becomes important.

Current expo show formula is to have the car and the plates introducing the cars right beside them. There are sales personelle around and a information booth equipped with hot girls. At certain times of the day, stage show would be arranged. Models will walk on the stage, pose, then introduce the cars with prepared script.

However, those who would gather to see those show are not for the cars, but for the models, photos and the little souvenirs which I deem useless stuff...

So, does spending so much money on those shows worthwhile?

I guess it is just another phenonmenon where when your competitor in the market does it, you feel pressured to follow suit coz if you don't, there may be a chance that you might lose your market share. But does those shows really help in terms of car sales? Big companies probably make too much money to care.
