Last Tuesday is the day that popdance presented the performence '' 盜愛''. the team that i join is girlstyle. In this performance, we play the role geisha, whose mission is to please the Emperor in a feast.
In order to present the best, tewlve girls in this team, including myself, practiced our dance day and night. we almost devoted our every single minutes that is free to the practice. When practicing, i found that cooperation is a complicatied philosophy that is worthwhile to learn.
when lacking some of our teammates during the practices, we hardly can do our work. and everytime that the same person keep doing the samething like being late for no reason or obsents without explaination, it annoyed others but find no way to help the situation.
regarding this situation, i realize profoundly that it is very important to set up a personal credit. let people find us realiable and considerate. if we want to do big, we have to take care of many details to form the whole.
although the practicing had made some sparkles between our teammates, we found a way to solve it. and in the end, we perform the show successfully.

Happy Sodagreen's Day
Left to Right：阿福(A.Guitar)、馨儀(Bass)、青峰(Vocal)、小威(drums)、家凱(E.Guitar)、阿龔(Piano&Viola)
Yesterday, I went to join the concert of Sodagreen, an individual band, with my friend, Wei. In fact, I have been their fan for four years. A few years ago, while I listen to Sodagreen’s songs, not many friends or classmates of mine know what I’m talking about. I was upset that no one can share the happiness of listening to the songs with me. However, Sodagreen starts to be more popular due to the song, 小情歌, released in their second album and win the prize, The Best Band of 18th Golden Melody Awards in 2005. From then on, their musical works touch and are fond of by more and more people.
Well, it’s my second time to join Sodagreen’s concert. It’s undeniable that their live performance is attractive. Each of them has good skills and passion for music. Most importantly, they create musical works and treat their fans with their true heart. They don’t want to cater to the main-stream market nor become commercial to flatter the consumers. They just do themselves. While they stand on the stage, it doesn’t mean building the wall between themselves and fans, but go across the distance and talk to fans in the way they treat friends. I indeed like the feeling close to Sodagreen.
The band’s name, Sodagreen, has meaning behind it. They hope everyone who listens to their music has the feeling of drinking cool soda in summer days ─ fresh. In addition, the lyrics of their songs are as beautiful as poems and have a kind of positive power. Usually, the topics of their songs are not only about love, but family or society as well. If you are in a bad mood, perhaps you can listen to Sodagreen’s songs to relax
If no one will listen
You can hear this song from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_zm_W4a0Zo.
Maybe no one told you there is strength in your tears
And so you fight to keep from pouring out
But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul
Do you think that there's enough you might drown?
If no one will listen, if you decide to speak
If no one's left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you, for what you really are
I will be here still
No one can tell you where you alone must go
There's no telling what you find there
And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones
It's screaming every step, "Just stay here?
If you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down
If your legs have given out under the weight
If you find you've been settling for a world of gray
So you wouldn't have to face down your own hate
I want to introduce a song that I recently love. It is sang by Kelly Clarkson. Kelly Clarkson is the first champion of the TV show, American Idol, in America. I accidently found this song on a day when I was surfing the Internet. When I first heard this song, I love it immediately. I like the powerful voice of Kelly Clarkson and the lyrics. After entering college, I always miss my junior and high school classmates. I could not get used to the new surroundings and felt anxious. The uncertainty of the future bothers me all the time. Although now I have adapted to this new life, this song reminds me of the feelings at that time.
If no one will listen, if you decide to speak
It's screaming every step, "Just stay here?
Stay here, or I’d better choose to go toward the future. (然後呢，一起走吧)
I think what I do now will be the red carpet made by rose to the future. Just do the things in front of me right now.
If you have interests with Kelly Clarkson, you can go to her websites.

Journal Entry 5-ANESSA
I can hardly think of the accurate time when I first know ANESSA. Just so long ago, when you open television, you would see a sun block commercial with a quite beautiful model in bikini. After then, I learned that she is the Japanese model,
Ebihara Yuri (蛯原友理). The slogan of the commercial is that the most excellent product in solar system! When you walk through the EASY Mall, you would see the advertising light-box of ANESSA. These pouring advertisements give me a deep expression with this product.
I love sport very much since I was a senior high student. That is the beginning I started to see sun protection as a serious issue. My skin is very healthy that I seldom be sunburned but it is prone to getting dark when I exposed to sun. I have ever tried some sunscreen products whether cheep or expensive. Most of them are from my friends who played volleyball with me. It is an interesting process that girls talk about the various sunscreen products. After graduating from senior high, one of my roommates traveled to Japan. She brought ANESSA for me. They cost at least NT1700 dollar in Taiwan but less than NT1000 dollar if you bought them in Japan.
I spend the least money to get the newest version of ANESSA. They are mild face sunscreen SPF46 PA+++ and the cleansing.
It’s very useful to avoid suntan. At first, I don’t know how to use it correctly so that my face would be unnatural white. Moreover, I seldom use it because I usually doing exercise at night now and I don’t think it’s necessary to use high SPF product in usual. Recently, I found that there’s a senior also use ANESSA that really make me feel friendly. I asked her how to solve the problem. When I followed her suggestion, my complexion became natural white. Besides excellent sun protection, it could also effectively embellish the complexion. These are the two important reasons why I love it. With ANESSA, I’m ready to embrace the summer!

Batman –The Dark Knight
Why so serious? What is justice?
The Dark night has broken the record of the movie history. It is currently ranked fourth in the movie history of America. Heath Ledger who played the part of the villain has won the Academy Award for the best supporting actor after he was dead. Although The Dark Knight is the latest series of Batman, its way of depicting the story is totally different from the former series. The Dark Knight focuses on the leading character’s inner part and more human nature.
Batman cooperates with the police chief, James Gordon and public procurator, Harvey Dent to fight the crimes in Gotham. They work together well and soon they find that they have become the target of the most monstrous bad guy, Joker…….
I think this movie precisely describes the contradiction of human nature and the bright side of people. The ending of the movie really touches me. When Joker has killed many people in Gotham, many citizens wants to exchange Batman for their own safety. Batman has no values when he conflicts with the interests of citizens. That is, people do not need him anymore. In the end, Batman choose make up a crime for himself and silently accepts the trial which people give to him. Batman is just a hero. He has to tolerate things people don’t want to and love others that do not love him.
What is justice?
The Dark knight is definitely a great movie. The actors and actress in the movie really play well. I strongly recommend this movie to people have not seen it.

Mother’s Day Is Also Buddha’s Birthday
We all know that it is Mother’s Day that on the second Sunday of May. And when it comes to Mother’s Day, we often come out with carnation which is the magnificent symbol of mother’s love. However, seldom do people know that Mother’s Day is also Buddha’s Birthday.
Buddha Bathing Ceremony, which commemorates the birth of Sakyamuni Buddha in May of 563BC, is one of the highlights in May. We hope that the ceremony will bring harmony and peace. Besides Buddha Bathing Ceremony, the event will also feature healthy vegetarian lunch, various exhibitions, interactive games, book fair and performances throughout the day.
It is really interesting and meaningful for celebrating both Mother’s Day and Buddha’s Birthday together. The love of Buddha and the one of mother are pretty similar. Mother loves children, ignoring her hard working and even sacrificing her life, and so does Buddha love all living creatures. Furthermore, celebrating Mother’s day exalts “shou”, which means the duty as children in the light of Chinese tradition; celebrating Buddha’s Birthday has gratitude for living creatures growing up with wisdom.
The significant meaning of Buddha Bathing Ceremony is bathing our bottoms of hearts and souls. With the most devout heart and holiest hands, everyone baths “Buddha’s foot” in a respective way. Returning to certain kind of clean and clear in mind, Buddha’s bathing thanks for Buddha, at the same time, for parents and all living creatures.
There is still a symbolic activity of “washing mother’s foot” on Mother’s Day. Washing mother’s foot activity is from Buddha Bath Ceremony. And the significance is that we have to respect mother as Buddha. Through the activity, we thank for mother’s devotion.
No matter Mother’s Day or Buddha’s Birthday, we appreciate their great, selfless love. Most important of all, we have to have a sincere mind which is full of gratitude, not only on the second Sunday of May but also every day we have.

The Lecture Delivered by Professor Hong
On Saturday afternoon, May 16th, I went to auditorium to listen a lecture delivered by Professor Hong Lan. She talked about reading and learning which related to neuron in brain. It is interesting for me to explore the inside brain because I had never touched that field except for reading some simple reference books. In other words, it’s my first time to have a chance to have a lesson on professional “Cranial Nerve” Science.
Before I went to this lecture, I was a little afraid that I would have no sense about what Professor Hong talks about. But it seems that I worried too over. Instead, Professor Hong used an easy way and realistic story to explain the relationships between reading, learning and neuron in our brain.
The first information Professor Hong told us was that “everyone has their excellence; we should not ignore their advantages and “cram” the other they may not good at.” The most profound example was the great scientist—Albert Einstein. He was amazingly good at the conception of space. However, the recourses of brain were limited. He was completely a stupid on language, including speaking, reading and writing abilities. Professor Hong claimed, after analyzing on Einstein brain that he devoted for research, we found that the control center of language in his brain was totally non-developed. If Einstein’s mother or teacher forced him to learn how to improve his language ability, he must be crazy. Therefore, for the reason that everyone has their telnets, we should not limit them in an autocratic, single way; we have to leave a room for them to grow, instead.
There was also a vivid story related to read that Professor Hong shared with us. She said that when his son was in elementary school, he was not interested in novel. Unfortunately, his teacher led him to study a novel during summer vocation. He suffered a lot at that time. Then, being his mother, Professor Hong knew his learning condition, and went to tell his teacher that his homework would be pictures about novel’s plot. Finally, his son was exciting and read many times in order to figure out the plot and setting. After he finished his pictures, he didn’t think that he read the novel he hated before; but in fact, he did read it. This experience tells us that “to cater ones pleasure, there will be an astonishing learning.”
There were too many points that Professor Hong shared with us, and it was not enough to say. Here is a picture which about what Professor Hong had told. Have a look at it, it is really interesting!
Journal Entry 4-The Magic Hour
What is magic hour? It’s a specialized term of cinematography, just as the golden hour in photography. It indicates the moment of the sun being so close to the horizon. The dark night is coming but the sunlight hasn’t disappeared yet. The hue of the sky is warmer and the lighting is softer. During the magic hour, the direct light of the sun is less intense and the warm color of the low sun is considered desirable to enhance the colors of the scene. The golden hour is a mild version of alpenglow, described by Galen Rowell, a noted wilderness photographer and climber.
“ If you want to be alive, just take the most famous killer in front of me!”
The affair between the manager of a hotel and the gangster’s mistress was discovered by the gangster. The manager pretends that he is familiar with the well-known killer. The gangster wants to see the famous killer so that he makes the order above. Actually, the manager doesn’t know the killer. For the purpose of patching up the lie told, the manager takes a third-rate actor to disguise himself as the killer. He tells the actor that he is shooting a killer film. The innocent actor doesn’t know the whole scene and incidents are true. It’s hard to imagine what would happen afterwards. However, I’d like to stop the story at a climax to keep you in suspense.
The director wants to tell the audiences of this movie that everyone can decide the way they live and to give the audiences more encouragement. The most beautiful things do not always unshown, they’re just late. To me, the magic hour is the most precious time in a day. If you miss the hours then don’t be depressed. The magic hour always happens day after day. I’d like to say this movie is fun and really cheer me up.

Wuxia Novels
Recently, I indulge in Jing Yong's novel, The Return of the Condor Heroes.(神鵰俠侶) Many people read Jing Yong's novels when they were in junior high or high school. However, I didn't have any interest in the novel because I think it's tired to read so much words.
Why did I read it now?
Few weeks ago, I watched the cartoon The Return of the Condor Heroes with my sisters at home. It reminded me that I have a comic book so I took it out and read it again. After watching cartoon and reading the comic book, I was curious about why The Return of the Condor Heroes has such fascination that many movies, soap operas and even comic books are adapted from it. Finally, I borrowed the novels from library and read it. I didn't repel the quantity of words this time; however, I though it was a really nice novel. The novel has a power that makes people want to finish it as soon as possible. The author is good at using language to describe each character's characteristic. The image floats on my mind when I read the description. Moreover, I can combine the text with the cartoon or soap opera to think about many interesting scenes.
Now, I know why Jing Yong is so famous. Through this expeirence, I think I will read more Jing Yong's novels in the future.

(#7) Jason Who? No, Jason Wu
Do you remember the dress worn by Michelle Obama, first lady of the US, at the inaugural ball? Actually, that beautiful white dress was designed by a 26-year-old, Taiwan-born designer Jason Wu (吳季剛). Wu was born in Taipei, and moved to Canada when he was nine years old. It is incredible that Wu knew at age five that being a fashion designer was his goal, and his non-traditional Chinese parents who did not ask their son to be a doctor or lawyer, always accompanied their son and backed him up. At age sixteen, Wu started to be the designer of Barbie clothes, and he learned how to deal with small, detailed designs from doing this. Afterward, he created his own brand and began to design for "big Barbies", including the first lady.
What did Wu think when he saw the inaugural ball? He said that he did not know that the first lady would choose his dress in advance, so he was watching TV while eating pizza at home, and when he saw his dress on the TV, he could not believe it's all happened. Before the inauguration, Wu was an unknown young guy; after the inauguration, he is a fashion star.
Though he is famous and has hold a successful runway show, Wu remains humble,thinking that he still has a lot of things to learn and to work on. And it is interesting that again, when Michelle Obama on the cover of Vogue magazine wearing a dress designed by Wu, he had know idea. He saw it on the Internet, and he thought,"Oh my god. I think I made this dress." We can say that the inaugural ball really turned Wu into an overnight reputation.

(#6) Summary of "Today's Lesson: How to Start a Successful Business."
Traditionally, big business in Korea holds more attraction for people, but now things are changing.

Park Soo Wong is typically the new type of entrepreneur, who left his secure job to start his own company; he is young, and has initiative and ambition. Moreover, the government is encouraging new businesses in order to create more new jobs. So that Korea has a lot of opportunity, every one has to grab the chance.
House MD
In recent days, I am addicted to the most popular TV series in US, called House MD.
Here is the brief introduction of this drama. Gregory House, M.D., is a misanthropic medical genius who heads a team of diagnosticians at the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey. Most episodes revolve around the diagnosis of a primary patient and start with a pre-credict sequence set outside the hospital, showing events leading up to the onset of the patient's symptoms.
It is different from other typical medical dramas, which mostly focus on attempts to diagnose and treat the patient's illness. Instead, Dr.House pays much attention to the patients' mentality.
At beginning, I am not quiet interested in the plots of the TV series but attracted by the mysterious personality of the main character. Unlike ordinary doctors, House acts as a strange cripple and he treats his patients with distinctive methods. Even though he behaves weirdly, his actions are filled with fascination.
What it worthes to mentioning is its public praise. House MD has received many awards and nominations such as Golden Globe Awards, Emmy Awards and so on. Those honored compliments plate the drama with honored gold.
If you have time or have some interests in this TV series, you can spend a little time watching it on PTS.(公共電視) In spite of my recommendation, do not ignore worldwide praise. Never waits until it's too late.
Sunset
When I was a child, I did not have few interests in seeing scenery. As the time went by, I gradually love to appreciate the beautiful scenes such as sunrise, sunset, or the sparkling night scenes.
Recently, I love watching dusk most, especially beside the port. The breeze slightly blows over us. We pick up the good seat to wait for the sunset. You can see the sky is gradually become colorful. Red, orange and yellow mix together and sprinkle over the cloud. At the same time, the twilight pours over the sky and sparkle the sea that reflects the gorgeous sky.
When I watch this scene, my mood will calm down and some agonizing things will be got rid of from my heart. At this moment, the only thing I want to do is to watch, to appreciate, and to memorize such the beautiful sunset.
Despite that, I do not like to watch sunset alone, because I think it will be too lonely and too quiet to feel the pleasure and warm feeling that is fill with your heart. If I want to watch the sunset, I will definitely call my friends go to watch together. I do not need many friends accompany me. One or two is enough. Because I believe sometimes too many people will be a little bit noisy. I know there seems to be a little bit contradiction between the two thought, but this is what I am.
This photo is shot by me at the 漁人碼頭. The scene of sunset is the most beautiful sunset I ever see in this year. Though we could not get the best place to watch, this scene was deeply memorized in my heart.

pop dance [5]
Tomorrow is the POP DANCE club performance. This semester I drop out dancing for I want to make better use of my leisure time not just spending on dancing. I thought I wouldn't regret. Though I love hip hop, some factors make me to leave the club. First of all, we have a performance annually; therefore we have to practice a lot in case that we fall behind the schedule. We have to spend much time to dance and every time when I go back to dormitory it's almost midnight. After I take a shower or do something it will be very late. My mom is a little bit angry about that. Secondly, everyone knows that dancing costs a lot. No matter you go to a personal studio to learn dancing or buy dancing dress, they all need money. I don't want to bring about more pressure to my parents simply because I want to dance.
However, with the performance coming, I see my friends all practicing hard. Honestly, I am regretful for giving up. Especially when I know from newspaper and TV that Jolin Tsai working so hard to make her dance skill better, I admire her willpower and her attitude toward everything. I think that maybe when I can earn money by myself I will dance again. Here is the video about Jolin's song "dancer" (舞孃), but it's not Jolin herself. It's a professional dancing teacher in a pair of fancy trousers.

The dog which I treasure in my heart
One day, I felt so boring, because I did not find any things that interest me. So I browsed my albums of my high school life to kill time. When I saw this photo, the life with him came to my mind.In our campus, you can find many stray dog come and live for a period of time. But they would leave one day. Then, other dogs came. The circulation never stops, so I did not have deep emotion with them. But he was a special case. His name is大黃. Though his name is not special and too common in Taiwan, his name is deeply treasured by my heart.
He often slept in front of the 302 classroom, so it was easy for me when I wanted to find him. He was such a nice dog that I had never saw him bark to any person. Moreover, he was brave enough to protect his friend called 小白, a timid white dog.
I remembered one day another dog called 大白came back. He was a leader of our campus dogs before. He was so aggressive dog that you could often find new scar and bloodstain on his body. But 小白 seemed not afraid of him and get along with him very well. Suddenly, we saw 大黃 run fast toward 大白 and bite his throat as soon as 小白 screamed. He did not loose his mouth until we ran to 大黃 and called him.
If I did not meet him, I would not have had such an interesting, fun and happy life in my last year in senior high school
(#5) Apocalypto
Have you ever heard of any director shouting out “I need to see the blood!” or “Hey, we are all dying here! We are all dying!” Some things like these? Actually, the sentences came from an Oscar- winning director: Mel Gibson, who was shooting an infernal scene for Apocalypto, his action epic film about the ancient Maya. Apocalypto (2006) is Gibson’s latest work, in which we can see the ritual of ancient Maya kingdom—the human sacrifice and the slave trade. Apocalypto, which is translated from the Greeks as “destruction and a new beginning,” is the idea that Gibson wants to convey to the audience “everything has a beginning and an end.”
In the movie, the Maya kingdom, whose ambitious leaders insist that if they do not appease gods by more temples and human sacrifices the crops will die. Jaguar Paw, the film’s hero, who is chose to be sacrificed to gods and pursued by the sinister Maya warriors. Because of several frightening chasing sequences through the rain forest and people’s unfamiliarity of the Maya civilization, Gibson successfully makes the audience see the movie attentively and feel jumpy about the unpredictable bloody scenes.
In fact, there are some people think that Apocalypto is just a movie with violence and barbarian doings; people are separated into pro-Mel and anti-Mel, having fierce debates on the Internet. However, what I want to talk about is not pro or anti-Mel, I want to talk about some special features of this movie, Apocalypto:
1. The Yucatec Maya dialogue spoken by native Mexican is used in this movie and is companied by subtitle. Gibson is interested in using unfamiliar languages on his film, and he believes that it can make the audience forget the reality, bringing them into the world of the film.
2. It is surprise to find that all cast members of Apocalypto do not have any experience in acting—many of whom are indigents of Guatemala or Mexico and had never seen a movie, let alone acted in one.
3. The movie is so violent that it is restricted. But it is different from the slasher which will make us feel sick.
All in all, Apocalypto is an extremely violent movie, in which casts speak in Mayan and there is no film star. What’s more, some one has uploaded the whole movie on YouTube. And it is not allowed, the file may be deleted some day. So if you want to see this movie, you can choose to see it from YouTube(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm6E7eC9zpw) or rent the DVD from the store.
