Grip your sword

To a knight, his fate is unpredictable, he cannot be sure of his end. When bloody battle surely leads to death, the only thing in his mind is to grip his sword. However when virtue is not convenient, what are they fighting for? On behalf of a king or in search of salvation.
 
The hero in the movie "kingdom of heaven" gave his answer, who used to be a blacksmith in a tranquil village, fortified a city without any fear.
 
A king can move a man like he manipulates the chessman, while never capable of changing his soul . With safeguarding the helpless as his oath, he have the strength to endure what is to come.
 
Knight, grip your sword as you fortify your belief.

Only time can tell

Life is not what u c in movies, however, when a movie depicts the life of a projectionist in "Cinema paradise", u can be so much taken by the depth of the feeling.
 
Afredo was a ordinary and devoted projectionist in a romote Italian town, who was kindly to little Toto. To project a movie for the "mobs who cannot think", he lost his sight. His influence made little Toto take on the project machine, and became a prestigious director after he left the small town for years.
 
Sometimes one could be attached to so many things and have a great amout of alternatives. In this movie, Toto shew his fidelity to the one he loved, named Elina, who was slim with long brown hair, big blue eyes and a clear gaze, whereas Afredo was career-oriented and suggested Toto to expore the big world and find his position.
 
Perhaps when time goes by, the "bloody summer" ends and it makes no different what u do or not. As the cinima being broken down due to its out-dated, one's struggle may fizzle out with the image of the golden days being faded away. A man is kind of jerk to have a deep imprint, however can one deny the Nostalgia? Afredo and Toto just give their own definition of it.

Lorita

The movie Lorita is quite a special one.
 
When Hamber,the hero finds that Lorita is like a poison in the wound which can never gonna heal, he knows that he falls in love with her. Unconcious of the passion hiden in her body, Lorita seems too young to manipulate her magic power, however this is just the most enchanting thing in Hamber's eyes as hell flame.
 
It is the fact that someone's conspiracy deprives Hamber of the redemption, whereas he himself causes the tragedy indeed. He never cares for Lorita's Mom, who later becomes his wife, even contributes to her death in a car crash. What is worse, physically immature little Lorita cannot distinguish what is spiritual and what is material, finally goes astray and becomes pale as a withered flower.
 
Selfishness gives rise to indulgence, which should be punished, not only represent the ethic, but also in name of humanity.

Key rings

 I brought a snack back from a nearby fastfood shop and suddenly a scene flushed into the sea of my thought.
 
 One day,I had a snack in a Macdonald's.A teenage girl came towards me and showed me a paper.Little puzzled,i glanced at it and knew that she was a disabled one who cannot speak and wanna sell some key rings to sustain her life.Although I could not judge if that she was telling the truth 'cuz nowadays lies always lead to abuse of charity,i decided to trust her melancholy eyes.I said,"Please take my money and u may get back your key ring,'cuz I know that u need it more than i do,u can sell it to someone else and enlarge your income."To my surprise,she put a dozen key rings on the dinner table and made a sign which meant i could choose one.She might have thought that i didn't like the key ring and jus' wanna express my sympathy.Deeply touched,I chose one and appreciated her.A expression of pleasure was shown on her face.She waved her hands to "say" goodbye.
 
Physically disabled,a soul could be pure as ever~

Adaptation

      The  movie "Adaptation" is quite a special one.Adaptation means to transform a novel to a movie script. It tells two story,with separation at first,integration in the Adaptation.
     One is about a women journalist writing a book about a orchid thief.In that movie the "ghost orchid" symbolize the passion.
     The jourlist regarded the orchid thief Laroche as an eccentric one.But in the pursuit for the ghost orchid ,in which she get to know the profound meaning of the Adaptation and is intoxicant by the drug made of the flower,to some extent,the character of Laroche,her hiden passion is ignited.
     Laroche believes the adaptation is a mutable but charming process,just like the ghost orchid ,deeply in the swamp,sending out fragrance.It is wrong to consider him only as a orchid thief other than a Pilgrimer of the Nature's passionate creature.
      The other story is about a script writer who wanna adapt a bewitching script based on the book written by the jourlist.When he scrutinize the book,he find that she tells lies in the reason that she transforms a passionate story to a plain narrative.So he devoted himself in the story to find out what happens next.
      Though ending up with violence ,he really find someting special in life as the tutor points out,which is the essential part of a successful script.He gives a fascinating adaptation of the novel,and what is more,he gives a better adaption to his life as he understands that "You are what you love,not what loves you."which fills his heart for the first time with hope.

The sims

     Played a game called the sims several weeks ago.Sim is the abbreviation of simulation.Jus' mean that we produce a simulated person in a cyber community.He acts like we human being.With a lot of trivial things to deal with,he rent a house,pay his bill,go to commercial lots and have friends even a love affair.
      A sim lot is a comprehensive community.When u wanna go to a business centre ,a scenery spot or entertainment house,a taxi swings by and take u there.
     The designer may have a profound insight into the characteristic of human.Mentally,he divided one's needs into wants and fears.If u don't satisfy the sim's needs and keep him away from troublesome situation,he may not in good mood,or even get ill.Hygiene,comfort,social relationship r all indexes that should be considered.
      Growing up is kinda maturation in sim's world. U may not use your valuable time in average,but cultivate one of the skills such as leadership,logic or art,that will bring sim advantage in his life.
     The sims r all emotional creatures,who have their memory of bitter or sweet,developing orientation of study or romance.
     Hi,Sim,nice coming to ur world~~

Small tips of searching engine

     An optional course later,jus' write briefly.Give u some small tips of searching engine.
     First is a interesting but useful engine called "dogpile",whose url is www.dogpile.com. With A lovely little dog as its logo,it is a integration searching engine which integrates almost all famous engine such as google,ask together.Search once and find the result at all these sites.It really facilitates the procedure of searching.
     U may wanna refer to a encyclopedia on line sometime,so my second tip is getting the answer in Answers,whose url is www.answers.com. U can find what u need there.
     OK.Jus' stop here.Perhaps reduce the excessive information is the final solution~

For Narnia

      The movie "The Chronicles of Narnia" is a video version of a fairy tale,which a British writer wrote 50 years ago.A wardrobe brings you to an enchanting land.Valiant warrior,gentle princess and magnificent kings come back jus' from the innocent childhood.It is such kinda world ,where u can tell without hesitation who is the wicked witch and who is the brave hero.Maybe it is not bad that the real world is purified like this.But that kinda world seems so remote ,only part of recollection.
     Hope that one day at a eccentric professor's house,eluding his rigorous housekeeper,get into a wardrobe and start a fabulous tour~~

A little bit this,a little bit that

    
     Played a game of Weiqi last night.First time in qq's game,when i chose one to play with and sat down at the cyber chess table ,I knew that a intriguing game would start.
     In that game u should not confined yourself in things u have possess,which is easily changed to others'.Most of times it is a win-win game, a treaty be signed and the boundary changed.
     Perhaps it is the same case when it comes to life.we sometimes jus' like a traveler,sets out from hometown,experiences an exhilarated or frustrated trip.
     A little bit this,a little bit that,one always exchange the roles he plays.Make a choice here ,have no choice there and face a alternative again somewhere,and that is life. Weiqi can give an good interpretation of the possibility or  variability of life.If u understand the game,u will know about the similarity as well.
   By the way,I win the game at last~

Word-of-mouth

    Translate a article about"word-of-mouth marketing",a field i am not familiar with ,jus' do a favor though.In my opinion translation is not on the level of words,but also on the level of culture.A kind of transmission should be conducted.
   ' Cuz i do not know the conception well,I refer to google for some reference.Then I start the exciting trip of translation.First word by word and then meaning to word,meaning to meaning at last.Though a little bit puzzled by some words of no counterpart in chinese,or some newly introduced conceptions, i probably convey what the writer wanna say.
    The article distinguishes some illusions from the golden rule of "referral marketing",sometimes you will never know who will have the great impact on your business,the movers and shakings,or a common neighbor.Besides it tells that what kinda business networking should be built,and the meeting itself or the meeted people should be foucused on and the like.Really impressed...

A grain of sand,a world there

    (Read a nice book written by a Indian writer,but a exam tomorrow,I gotta go over the course.Jus' reserve a place here~)
     Now I'm coming back.Read part of a book "wisdom of life" written by osho.'Cuz it is chinese version,don't know if i give the right translation of the book title,but what matters,jus' the attractive content make me totally immersion in it.
     He defines three level of perceiving the world.If you perveive a house using your brain ,which symbolize your intellect,it is just sort of architecture.Using your heart, in an emotional point of view,it is a home.Using your spirit ,it turns out to be a holy temple.       
    We never need to find eternity in a spectacular scene.Maybe hold your hand,right in your palm,the ultimate is there...

The road not taken

      What a mutable weather!Thought i felt summer's breath yesterday,the rainy day comes back now.To continue yesterday's discussion."The one that adhered to what he thought,which maybe wrong , is more ...than those addicted to other's predominant rule?"I thought for a while and said,i'd fill in the blank with the word "admirable".
      Every time we submitted to other's undisputable right opinion,we lost ourselves a bit.However ,if you persist in what u thought,which may cost u a lot,u will never repent of it.
     There r 2 ways to judge a human being.One is how he get the satisfaction in his heart even though he always stumble when twisting his way, the other is achieving the success using a  more commonsense way.
     Which choice you will make?It jus' bring Robert Frost's poem The Road Not Taken to my mind...

Rip Van Winkle

        I had a chat with one of my friends.Today, he seems a little bit like  Rip van Winkle.(jus' mean sleepy one, that is a novel written by Washington Irving ,i read it a year ago and thought that in chinese literature its counterpart is"烂柯",a story about Weiqi,oh,a bit far from the topic~~)
        He told me that is 'cuz he felt sleepless last night.I asked why.He said that having too many things to deal with,the priority is hard to given and a well-done is hard to achieve.I tried to cheer him up but it seems a vain attempt, for  even I cannot persuade myself  either.
        When I encounter with such situation , in which i do not know how convey my thought, jus' choose to listen .Everyone is a miracle,the creator's masterpiece.(to be continued or the ice-cream i am tasting will be melted~~ )

Eternal place you'll find

" Grains of sand slip through your hands

  Never ceasing time

  Fold your hands in silent prayer

  Eternal peace you'll find"

     When Lavigne's song finally performed,without appreciating the beautiful melody,I found it's time to put an end to the Odessey of searching a E-disk on line.

     If u r among the top 100 nice guests to visit my blog,which is my honour, you jus' hear the rotative performance of "the stars under the sunshine" by Jinhaixing,that is a sweet song though overwhelming one a little bit melancholy.However, if it performs again and again,you may not bear it any more.Jus' wanna change this situation,Hyperlinked from one page to another,tried a mass of ways,registered to any site that appeared to have kinda little possibility to offer me a free place.All i need is a place to upload,while all I get is upsetting failure.

    Bingo! I got one place at last ,http://mybloop.com/,you can upload files for free,waited anxiously,I could hear lavigne's song that i uploaded!

    It was really kinda rough time.Exhausted ,i wanna change the Lyric to

" Fold your hands in silent prayer

  Eternal place you'll find~"

Freedom of choice

        Watched the movie "anything else". It  is an extraordinary  movie,which can elicit one's thought of the inner part of themselves.Love and work,two most seemingly significant things in Allen's eyes jus' like sort of joke,or even  a trap.Love and unloyalty,in common sense,two poles of the emotion,lost its boundary in Jerry's life ,mingled with each other,become the most charming and uncertain mixture  emitting a noxious smell.When things come to work, a long and boring contract will be signed,  not for the purpose of the satisfaction  oneself,but keeping others from a sudden heart-attack or something.Even a prophet cannot give himself salvation.Life , jus' like a beauty ,obsessed with these contradictions, cannot give her hands to any  pious pursuer.
        Well ,you bet, just be  optimistic.Jerry find his new job at last an' things will be better , jus' right on one's plan an' that  is for sure~

So far away

     Our group tries to design a single board fm transmission and receiving system.Thanks to the highly advanced tech,millions of components have been integrated on one chip,we just concentrate on the peripherals.
     Perhaps man wanna quantify and encode every bit of the real world and  really make fabulous progress.But what does this effort for?The complicated mechanism just help one duplicate hypocritical words in nearly a second.
    Maybe a warm welcome or gossip in shareing interest is better than a high fidelity signal,which transformed using the cutting-edge tech.
    Contented in prosperous vision,pretended to be nearer,on the opposite, just intended to be more far away...

Four weddings and a funeral

      I watched the movie four weddings and a funeral sometime last week,which have kinda sense of humor in a british style.
       I think wedding in that movie is just like a symbol ,that embody a ritual of getting two stranger living together rather than two soul sticking together.So people may lost the original meaning of wedding. On the contrary they seem to know funeral better,however, till then a man can only be memorized.
       Just like the hero and heroine cuddling so sweetly in the rain in the last scene,maybe the holy essence of love rather than any other excessive ritual should be treasured.

Rugby

       In my physical course ,I chose rugby as an optional course.The rule tells that the player can only pass the ball backward to his teammate.Though having a splendid touchdown is really a tough job and in most occasions one player having to do is just passing the ball from hands to hands, it still has its own enchantment.Teamwork plays an important part ,you all share the laughters and tears in common.
    One may feel stronger when he finds his role in a team while weaker staggering lonely,isn't it?
    Nice game~

peace in heart

    Playing wuzi is such a fascinating experience.Last week i took part in a contest held by one of the community.
    The two playing a wuzi game can never be called rivals.'Cuz they are friends in a sort of contact of soul.So i like the feeling of playing this game on line.In that cyber world you do not need to pay much attention to the result of the game, just enjoy the process of every choice you make giving response to other player's action.
 
   But when things come to the real game,it seems to be a little bit different...Can you keep a peaceful way of thinking without minding the result?
   Maybe no peace in heart,no ease in hands...
