繪畫及塗鴉，是屬於孩童般的宣洩.... (不是每個人都能保有赤子之心呀! (如我就不行))

分享美麗 :)

Diane's Poems Part 4

Not Yet Enough
Am I not enough depressed
To know the pain bypassing
Too little of a keen sensory
Or too much surpassing an optimistic

Am I not enough curious
To question why the world so delirious
Always catch warmth of the caring
Never keep misery in reminiscence

Is there a genre fitting?
Emotional enough to express with words
Not so pessimistic yet to be a poet
Creative enough to paint with brushes
Not so insane yet to be an artist
Persevere enough to run with scissors
Not so stubborn yet to be a winner

---Diane

I Know

Every morning after the sun has risen for awhile
My eyes open and welcome a new day like a stranger
Whether predictable or inevitable
I know I am guarded

Every night before a dream prepares for its journey
I pray and give thanks, in simple phrases of few words
Whether fortunate or not
I know I am blessed enough

It is only at times the reality pushes me
To moarn and yearn for every minute before because
More bits of my youth are taken away as I hesitate a thought for tomorrow
I know there are things left undone

Yet at the same time there are too much already been done:
Health, family, and love
Words, music, and arts
What else can one wish for
In this modern, insane, and corrupted world?

I know, everyone thanks for the day given before
I know everyone breathes under the vivid moment
I know everyone seeks for a promising tomorrow

Dear Catherine
Written in perspective of Blake

Dear Catherine

I am a man of Words
And you are a beauty of Silence
If my contents make you bright
Yours are my delight

As departed betwixt Words and Silence they seem
We prove its theory wrong by simplicity

Nature generates us strapped by the Chain of Jealousy
Formed at the moment a Serpent strapped around Her poison’d tree
Some live to see The End with no intention of breaking free
Others live to Eternity finding Its key

I have become the latter when you rescued me
Your silence fed me fresh and green
In tenderness like an Angel’s feather sliding down my skin

Perhaps I am so far apart from the rest of the world
Yet none of that matters as long as I have you near

Please greet me every morning with a kiss as you did of each night before
For each time a kiss softly lands on my pore
I am reminded of why life is bright
And Death is no longer a threatening knight

-Diane

最近看什麼電影連續劇?

2009-07-30T00:57:00.000-07:00

有些東西不說出來真是會悶出病來，特別是一些能觸動我內心最深層感受的藝術傑作….

Let the Right One In (2008)
Låt den rätte komma in (原瑞典文片名)

IMDB 評語: Beautiful love story, great horror movie, sweet children's tale

好久沒有看過能讓我動容的愛情片了

當一個自閉孤獨飽受同班欺負的超齡小男孩，碰上和他同樣年紀，卻沒接觸過同伴的吸血鬼女孩，會擦出什麼樣的火花?

女孩從來沒有過正常生活，因遺傳吸血鬼，自小必須跟著父親四處遷徙，靠著殺人維生…在這兩個被世界拒絕的人之間，能產生什麼樣離經叛道又純潔血腥的愛情事件?

不敢多說劇情了! 只透露 : 結局讓我連看了五次以上....整片劇情鋪陳相當精采。另外，片名也相當有意思，看完了可以細細體會...(台灣當然沒上映，請各顯神通找來看)

此片有幾個非常吸引我的地方:
1. 小女孩殺人不眨眼，對於平凡人冷酷無情! 挑戰現世庸俗價值觀
2. 小女孩是強者，保護愛人
3. 毫無情色鏡頭純潔唯美
4. 完全以小孩子的無道德眼光看世界

Let the Right One In 已經榮登我心中最佳電影前十名的寶座 (還沒決定要排在第幾名，因為必須要狠心踢掉一部最愛TOP10 才能把這片排進去名單中。這種劊子手的事情能拖就拖不想早做)

這部電影我真的真的愛得很深! 介紹給有緣人

下次不想工作又不懶的時候再介紹好笑和好看的連續劇 (目前陪伴我度過整個暑假的超級優優優優兩部大陸連續劇)

I Am No Love's Expertee

I am no love's expertee
Neither a person tasting its honey sweet
Season after season, I am still puzzled by Love's Philosophy*
Stay out, and I hear
Unless thou art ready to be heart broken
Good luck, and I hear
If thou fall too deep with every breath taken
None is there to save thee
And hopelessly remaining when love doth flee

They also say that love is the sweetest pain
And pain doth make one stronger
But why am I crushed whenever bypasses a lover
Myself, I catch eyes open wide at night
Memories in a flashback, conquering all things in sight
Sleeplessly, a pair of weary eyes is forced to rest
Lonely is my mind awakened against truth I fight:

A lover only comes when desires least burning
And at least expecting, his steps in silence counting
He, as a gift, arrives with both hands empty
Yet when departs, with thy heart bleeding to sleep

-Diane

Spring Love

Not a night slips by
I don't rest at night
As I don't eat supper

Not a day goes by
I don't drink water
As I don't think of you

Spring has pass'd me by
Before I could catch with my eyes
When you used to gently greet:
How are you today, my darling

Spring has pass'd me by
Summer is now here
When you went without a hear
Clear as water, you've got someone else to love

Not an hour goes by
I don't think of you
Of the moments when we were alone
Of the nights when we were upon blithe

But now that you have left
Unable to escape in my head
Trembling, whispering
In a signal of no words descibing

That you were still the one of my life
If not forever, as I did not imagine
At least I gave my best
And treasured all the times

Spring love has pass'd me by
I not wait for what summer could bring
But for you to rethink and to me speaking
That you've learnt of what I learnt
A last lesson you'd take of which you yearn

My kiss, my warmth, and happy tears
When we used to be merry together
But Spring love has pass'd me by
Come again before I have turn'd thee to hate
Come again, hopefully, before I have surrender'd to fate

-Diane

A Toast to Beauty

You're a beauty
When you bravely take a step back in self yet a step front for others
For your caring heart permeates the dark streets
Lighting up the hidden ugliness behind every shell

You're a beauty
When you devote yourself into what is more worthy in life than what is not
For your cryptic knowledge that strike the ignorants
Switching hidden ugliness with humble determinations

You're a beauty,
When you have been through too much of the world yet think of only the good
For your optimistic attitude that puts others in shame
Drawing back every man and child away from hidden ugliness

You're a beauty,
When you greet the others with soothing and warming voice that melts the ice
For your incompetitive soul that waves a flag of peace sign
Declaring no bad intention nor having any crumbs of hidden ugliness

You're a beauty,
Because you weigh life and nature the way they are supposed to be weighed,
The same as you value the others and yourself the way we are born to be valued.

Here is a toast to beauty.

-Diane

I Ask Not Of Your Love Pity

I ask not of your love pity
If that is why I come back to thee
Thousand dozen fishes in one sea
Million pennies in fountains of wish
Nothing compares to loving thee

Though truth does sharply kills
In me leaving a burnin' scar
Still, time will settle all pains down
Allow me to destroy our bonding rail
In blood, in tears, in angel's drown

I ask not of your love pity
If so I'd be locked in so much guilt
Leaving you is the sillest thing
Wishing you to be happy
While seeking the perfect joy in destiny

Myself I blame for what I did
Missed my best by stupidity
But do wake me up when you're ready
A full trust in final guarantee
No more pain flashes when you think of me

But as for now, I set you free
Because I ask not of your love pity

-Diane

Phoebe's Guide To A Happier Life

"Guide To A Happier Life - Practice Males Perfect" - by Phoebe Chung

Practice makes perfect.
Recover your resources.
Ask an inch and take a mile.
Compromise with reality.
Tell white lies when skipping class or work.
Identify the right clothes when buying.
Control+C control+V = a finished paper.
Exploit new people.

Make sure to get a discount when shopping.
Assume a busy pose when your boss walks in the office.
Kill cockroaches without hesitation.
Estimate a man at a glance.
Skilled at unfastening your girlfriend's bra.

Pretend to be deaf when encountering unfair treatment.
Embrace your parents every day.
Run in high heels.
Fart in front of your boy friend.
Enjoy being alone.
Create absurd excuses for faithless lovers.
To eat the spiciest of foods.

By Phoebe Chung

Hobbies! My salvation in life...

2008-11-27T00:50:00.000-08:00

At this time of my life, I believe that one can live without love (愛情.. not love in general :P ), but not without hobbies.

What do you think of that? Do you agree or you think 玩物喪志? Or you feel the precious leisure time should be spent on real people (or pets if people are too much troubles) rather than personal pursuits? Well, I have to say I've never really been ambitious so I don't agree with 玩物喪志 - hobbies will always be the center of my life.

There are many bad hobbies though; some of them are quite addictive like drinking, gambling, and most girls would agree that online-gaming is the most damaging one if you happen to have a boyfriend/husband addicted to it.

I always have too many hobbies, recently I’ve been reviewing them and made a decision that I should concentrate on few of them only, and I would make sure they don't consume my time up to a harmful degree. I've friends who are destroyed in single one hobby/activity, as a result they can rarely care about others things/people genuinely...I would say that is rather limited and dangerous life. I think we ought to have several hobbies so we won't be sucked into only one of them. But if you were determined to become an artist, to devote all your time to beautify the whole human race, there is no other choice except to be careless of all other things/people to reach your goal. That is, however, a luxurious privilege for really talented & special people. If you're normal like me, I suggest you not to waste your life doing genius’ work.

Why is it important to develop several lifetime hobbies? A picture is worth thousand words, so I'll give you a picture: If you go to any local library in Taipei, there are always many old people reading newspapers there, doing nothing else. Just picture that! I've been interested for further investigation on this matter, so I went there to observe a few times. Regret to say that not one, not single one of them during my visits was reading a book instead. What a depressing view don’t you think? How could one's mind be satisfied with news...(either on TV or paper. I know some people could watch news ALL day.) It’s sad but it’s something to think about.

Sorry for my long blog, I always write too much. But I'd love to read others long blogs though, please also share them here :)

I'll stop now and conclude with this line: A balanced & meaningful life takes great efforts.

Call for old photographs

2008-07-22T00:31:00.000-07:00

Mandy has inspired me! She shared this fantastic photo of a paintball/BBQ afternoon from several years ago and it got me thinking... There must be a lot of students with photographs from past years lurking about. I'd love to see them. If you have any photos from past Chung-Deh years, please post the photos or links in the comments section so we can all enjoy them (and see how old we've gotten).

This is a call out to all past graduates! Tell us what you've been up to. Did you go on with your education? Did you travel abroad? Did you get married. Did you become a monk? Did you join the secret service and go undercover? Did you start a business? Did you decide to cast off the world, go live under a bridge and write bad poetry? Or did you just stay home and become a professional couch potato? Whatever you've been doing, we'd like to know.
