165反詐騙!!!!

今天在家接到詐騙集團假冒警察打來的電話，發覺現在詐騙的話術實在太高明了，除了沒有福建口音外，還使用車輪戰的方式，好幾個人輪番上陣幫你洗腦～今天見識到的就有新竹市第一分局警員、大隊長、書記官跟書記官的助理等人，先是警察來電說我的身份證影本被詐騙集團盜用開設人頭帳戶來收取不法所得，要幫我製作電話筆錄，釐清案情，後來書記官又來電說我已被列為被告，所有被詐騙的人都要跟我討錢。

你很特別

今天偶然看到電視節目介紹某本童書繪本＂你很特別＂，很喜歡這個故事。

故事大概是這樣說的，在某個村子，有一群叫做微美克的小木頭人，他們每個人都長的不一樣，但每天都做著同樣的事：互相為每個人貼貼紙。當看到漂亮的、漆色好的小木頭人，他們會幫他貼上星星貼紙。而那些褪了色，表面粗糙的小木頭人，就會就被 貼上灰點貼紙，胖哥就是其中之一。他很想表現但卻每次都出醜，當他摔倒時，眾人就會圍上來幫他貼上灰點貼紙，跌跤身體磨傷了，又會有人走過來幫他貼上灰點貼紙。到後來，他身上的灰點越來越多，有些人只是因為看到他身上有很多張灰點貼紙，而想要幫他貼貼紙。漸漸的他越來越不喜歡出門。 直到他偶然遇見了一個小木偶，奇怪的是，他身上沒有一張灰色貼紙，也沒有一顆星星。並不是因為別人不幫他貼貼紙，而是只要貼紙貼到他身上，都會掉落下來。胖哥很好奇，也很羨慕，就問他該怎麼做才能跟他一樣？那個小木偶於是帶他去找創造所有小木人的木匠伊萊，伊萊告訴他＂你很特別。所以你不需要去在意其他人的想法＂ 原來，小木偶身上黏不住貼紙的秘密是＂只有當你越在乎別人給你的貼紙時，貼紙才貼得住。＂

Waving Flags

Although I'm not a FIFA fan, I was enchanted by this song since I heard it by chance on facebook...

Waving flag is a single published in 2009, from a Somali Canadian musician K'anna. The song was chosen as the official song of Coca-Cola for their 2010 FIFA World Cup program and remixed in Spanish, features Spanish singer David Bisbal. I love the Spanish version very much not just because I want to practice my poor Spanish since I dropped the class, but I just felt it sounds especially motivational, enthusiastic and quite fit in the sunny days lately... OK, now maybe I should admit it's just a personal preference or maybe a "side effect" resulted from my recent reading Latin America stories before sleep. :-p

[Lyrics] (Spanish parts are in gray)

Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher
See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud

en las calles, muchas manos, 在街道上，許多雙手，
levantadas celebrando, 正在舉起 慶祝著
una fiesta sin descanso, 這是一個沒有間斷的節慶
los paises Como hermanos 因為四海皆兄弟
Canta y une tu voz, 讓我們一起同聲大喊
grita fuerte que te ecuche El Sol, 直到太陽都聽到
El partido ya va a comenzar, 比賽就將要開⋯⋯始
todos juntos vamos a ganar 大家同心協力 就會得到勝利

**
unidos seremos grandes, seremos fuertes 一起 我們將是個巨大，強力的
somos un Pueblo 國家
bandera de libertad, 就讓這自由的旗幟
que viene y que va (x4) 飄揚在空中

When I get older I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a waving flag 
so wave your flag, now wave your flag (x4)

danos vida, danos fuego, que nos lleven a lo alto, 讓我們生命的火花 漂上天空
campeones o vencidos , pero unidos a intentarlo,不管輸贏 我們都將會嘗試

In the streets are, exalifting, as we lose our inhibition
Celebration its around us, every nation, all around us

Singing forever young, singing songs underneath that sun
Lets rejoice in the beautiful game
And together at the end of the day
We All Say

**

Wooo hooooo hohohohoooooo
And everybody will be singing it
Wooooooooo ohohohooooo
And we are all singing it

There are no ordinary moments

Recently I watched a movie called "Peaceful Warrior". The story is about a young talented gymnast Dan Millman, and his struggle to make sense of his life. Even though he had been a successful gymnast star who had gone to the top university, he couldn't sleep well and always felt lost and empty when he woke up at midnight. By chance he met "Sorcrates", an old man who worked in a gas station, showing him how little he truly knew about living. In the months that followed his career-threatening injury, Sorcrate imparted to the young man the wisdom that he needed to leave the past behind and follow the path of destiny and fulfill his transformation into the peaceful warrior.

In this movie, there are a lot of scenes that let me feel touched and inspired. For example, when the lead character first met Sorcrates, the old man asked him, "Are you happy?" Most of the time, we  thought we were happy when we get something we want like winning a competition, getting a promotion or doing something which is considered as successful by people etc. In contrast, if we try really hard to get something but in vain, we feel upset. Someone might keep asking "why?", some might choose to escape from reality. Yet, we just realize it's all waste of time.

In this movie, the director try to convey some concepts such as "Everything has a purpose" and "There are no ordinary moments". These words might sound like cliche, however I was kind of aware that they make sense a few weeks ago--after I spent a lot of time, effort, money etc. to chase a dream but failed eventually. Every time we chase a dream, it was the journey what brought us something, not the destination. Life itself is a journey, so there is no starting or stopping, all we have to do is doing.
