星座：開玩笑的指數

９０分 - 玩笑乃人生之小事，何妨放開心胸玩樂。
牡羊座 (3/21-4/19)
雙子座 (5/21-6/20)
兩者都是屬於，喜歡放鬆自然一點的態度去玩樂，12星座堪稱最百無禁忌的便是這兩個星座～雙子座接受尺度大，天生性格帶有八婆的特質，就算別人不說，他也敢承認自己三八，不過因為容易受情緒的變化起伏所困擾，也因此容易讓人認為善變，沒有定性～而牡羊座則是好玩，有些孩子的性格，但有時也因如此，而讓人覺得你脾氣不好喔！

Isetan's Noodles Fair

happened to come across the Isetan's Noodles Fair during the trip. curiosity lured us forward, we left with 2 among the dozens of choices - Oishii Ramen (おいしい拉麺) n Nissin UFO Yakisoba (日清UFO焼きそば). the portions were large! if compared, the souped ramen was far more delicious than the dried yakisoba.

Knowing (2009)

i proceeded to watch the movie though being told beforehand that it was a bad movie. they were wrong, it was an Awesome movie! with the alien n end-of-the-world theme, its creativity boundary was very wide. moreover, the movie managed to draw tears into my eyes. the supernatural part of it makes the movie felt eerie at times, but when all was revealed, the whole satisfaction filled my senses completely.

kitty..

an adorable photograph found while browsing the National Geographic site, under the user sharing section. apparently this little fellow was caught in the act.

Kokonoe Rin 九重りん

Nendoroid is the tiny version of anime characters. roughly 14cm in height. normally with larger heads n smaller body, which boost the "extremely adorable" factor.

this is bad, very bad! after acquiring a Figurine of Kokonoe, i came across it's nendoroid version on the web. from the anime - Kodomo no Jikan (こどものじかん). how to fend off her adorableness!

release date: April 2009

Apperception.

gliding smoothly down the escalator, with his hand on my head as the duo watched on. pleasantness was too quick to take off, blaming on the awfully short trip down. familiarity slipped through, silently building itself unnoticed against time. its worthiness doubled abruptly, a feeling too precious to disregard.

完璧に永遠に幸せなりたい。

Hidamari Sketch ×365 ひだまりスケッチ×３６５ (2009)

with the exact similar storyline as the previous season (Hidamari Sketch - 2007), this anime tell the story in a different sequence. there will be not much impact even if the first season was missed, the only add will be a clearer understanding. a very light n relaxing anime to catch.

星座：感情變數

白羊座 (3/21-4/19)
無論太陽或金星還是月亮在白羊座的傢伙，最容易產生的問題就是對情人不再感覺新鮮，這樣的人算是感情風暴的高風險族群，其中以白羊月座的人表現的最明顯，這些人容易在新鮮感消失的同時萌生去意，而和這三種白羊談戀愛都得小心，千萬別讓他覺得你在支配他，這點也是他最受不了的一件事，絕對沒有人能夠支配他，他要的是挑戰與征服，和白羊月座或白羊金星談戀愛時，你最好不斷製造小問題，讓他產生征服與挑戰的快感。

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009)

this was the story of the vampires n the lycans. lycans, in this film, were transformable werewolves during full-moon. controlling a strong lycan, the King of vampires trained him to kill the non-transformable werewolves. the king's daughter fell in love with him, thus their adventure begins. the film was entertaining with awesome visual effect. a prequel story before Underworld (2003) n Underworld: Evolution (2006).

Sweet Undertaking.

returned to the familiarly Inviting Environment, the weekend was crammed with excited graduates pouring into the studio filling possible spaces. put to work, we responded to our role accordingly. competency came in handy during these peak seasons. the day was spent clicking frantically away in the wondrous world of editing. no more alone this year, nor agitated while the blurring repetitive action took charge. both days ended exhaustively, but as the simple sweetness of slouching against each other became contagiously satisfying, the weekend transformed into a irreplaceable venture.

楽しいな任務だ！

another 2 episodes, the continuation of the first season - Hidamari Sketch (2007). again, each episodes told their own story, chapters of the lives of 4 girls living in an apartment right opposite their school. a simple but relaxing anime.

Touching Moment.

overfilled with confidence, the shimmering characteristic was too hard to miss. blunt n immensely straightforward being both her strength n weakness, she is often out to get anyone who messes with her. though maturity have most of us falsely restrained behind a mask, it was surprisingly comforting, bringing tears into my eyes the moment she threw a despising glare as if the provocation was directed at her instead of me.

支えを隠してす。

星座：憂愁

牡羊座 (3/21-4/19)
牡羊座並不會為了小事而憂愁，他們樂天的個性讓他們輕鬆面對所有的困難，所以很少在他們的臉上看到憂愁的表情。他們最有可能憂愁的時候就是他們挑戰某樣東西失敗時，無法承認失敗的時候就會憂愁而變得很固執，像個小孩子一樣的跟自己生氣。
解除憂愁警報法：雖然牡羊很少憂愁，但是記得不要讓憂愁使你變得固執。

Subway Restaurant.

subway is a fast food franchise that primarily sells submarine sandwiches n salads. it was our first trip there, the experience was exciting n exquisitely satisfying. the Subway Club contains ham, turkey n beef. it thrilled us watching the fast moving filling process. every bite was filled with different gushes of aroma.

Twilight (2008)

hiding his secret for 90 years, he finally met his soul mate. she risked everything falling in love with him, yet her blood attracted another pack of bloodthirsty vampires. he struggled to keep her save. not exactly the kinda Vampire movie i expect, but definitely a successful Romance film. another version of Romeo n Juliet - the story of a beautifully forbidden love - between vampire n mortal.

Award: J'Adore Tien Blog

received the beautiful award from -david- "j'adore tien blog" means "i love your blog" in French. it is amazing how award can be passed around the world in different languages n yet reach our hands. with translation available on the web, it simplifies our search n understanding, thus sharing the love.

will pass the award to ayie, tekkaus n monica, for their support n shared award every now n then. thank you!

Allayed.

the weekend afternoon unhurried n lazy, comforting n irreplaceable, always slightly too quick to declare an end. against all odds, yet to be forsaken, survival instinct took charge. ain't as clear as game nor anime, clouded with abundance gray areas. ironically, all remained in its light, magically dreamy state.

特異な体験だね。

Pan Mee 板面

Pan Mee is a Hokkien-style egg noodles in soup, usually uses the hand-kneaded noodles. a hidden stall, almost invisible from the street, served the absolutely heavenly Pan Mee. comes in 2 flavors - original n spicy. both with their own uniqueness, thrilling our taste buds. treasures awaiting discovery.

Hidamari Sketch ひだまりスケッチ (2007)

a very relaxing anime. slightly slow but acceptable since each episode with their own storyline. the life of 4 high school girls living in an apartment right opposite their school, away from their parents. friends came in handy during their explorations.

Reminiscence.

staffs come n go, but these 3 lasted the longest; conflicts, too, come n go. each with their own strengths n weaknesses, blessed to be accepted for who they are within this small crowded working environment. watched in silence enviously, the air smelt of familiarity, filled with such calming n comforting scent.

懐かしい環境。

Microsoft, Yahoo vs. Google?

after months of rumors, Yahoo n Microsoft finally announced a 10-year search deal on Wednesday (July 29th, 2009). an effective way to battle Google? under the deal, Microsoft will power Yahoo's search with Bing search engine while Yahoo manage the sales for both companies' advertisers. no money involved, just ad revenue. the deal is expected to close in early 2010, but it will take about 2 years to fully integrate the 2 companies' systems.

if you find it shocking that Yahoo, after Google, one of the most popular search engine, is giving up its core business, it is not true. Yahoo applied Google search engine into its site for nearly 10 years now. Yahoo's formal search engine was the least effective, lacking scalability.

will this be the new era?

星座：戀愛忠告

白羊座 (3/21-4/19)
類型：談起戀愛六親不認型。
羊羊勇敢大膽態度積極而且充滿行動力。只要他們確立了目標，他們就會一步步地向前邁進。即使遇到阻礙他們也不怕，這些阻礙反而更會讓他們燃起鬥志。只要遇到他們的真命天子，他們就會為愛而戰，而且還是屬於衝鋒陷陣的頭號兵。他們如果準備好去談一場驚天動地的戀愛，那就不會放棄，更不會見異思遷。但是對方要是冷卻下來，他們也會快刀斬亂麻。
給白羊座的小告誡：你屬於容易一見鍾情，憑直覺談戀愛的類型。對自己的感覺很誠實，表達情感的方式也很豐富，喜歡享受怦然心動的愛情滋味，總是以自信和自尊去面對感情，有時候會把戀愛當成一場比賽或遊戲。請小心愛的路上容易起起落落、風波不斷哦！
