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!! :)

Breakfast Tray


The same wonderful breakfast can be easily achieved at home as long as you have the time and vision. Let's have a good one this weekend!

Small Home



Some lovely design ideas here. The layout is very similar to what we have right now except we are not utilizing the space well.

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.

可可西里


Finally got a chance to watch this amazing movie "Kekexili" based on a true story.
Something very different indeed. Highly recommended.

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

Cute Things



Seeing cute things like these just makes me want to go to Japan - NOW!

重力ピエロ


The next Japanese movie I plan to watch...
Finished watching! Good movie!

I predict 岡田将生 (Okada Masaki) will be the next Kimura Takuya; it's pretty obvious.
