不需要愛情的夏天
Just finished watching the Korean version of the movie. I am totally okay with the storyline even though I see so many reviews calling it bad and illogical . I just really like the actress, 文根英. She has a very cute face to begin with and her ability to get those huge tears rolling down the cheeks always melt my heart. The main actor was very good, too, I thought. Not sure what is not to love about the movie. I would not mind watching it again at all!! :)

LTE Book
I love books but ...
I got this $80.00 book from my boss the other day and just wasn't at all excited.
Today, I finally took it out from my bookshelf at work and guess what I noticed?
Yes, the cover is a picture of Hong Kong and its Victoria Harbor! An interesting choice for the front cover of a highly technical book, wouldn't you say?

Hot Summer Days (2010)
The Hong Kong version of the movie Valentine's Day or Love Actually (replacing the Christmas theme with Hot Summer) with 5 love stories in one. While only 1 or 2 stories in the movies are well developed , it's still surprisingly entertaining with many new faces and fair acting. The cinematography by Wing Shya is really what made the movie works.

Stuff
This has to be one of my favorite pictures this year.
A picture that shows all the possessions of this particular family in China. They have to be one of the greenest and most earth-friendly families around.
If we were to do the same, how much stuff will fill the picture?
For starter, a dozen pair of shoes, 3-4 suitcases of clothing and accessories, 5-6 boxes filled with electronic gadgets, a truck load of home appliances and sports equipment, plus crates filled with books and toys... it will probably take days to lay them all out before a picture can be taken.
Think about it.
There is a book on Amazon with the same idea:
Material World, A Global Family Portrait
