outcast

do you ever have the feeling that, you don't belong somewhere or to something, but there's nothing you can do about it just yet?



to have more excuses on.. "can't just do anything about it, yet" matter... it's those still bondages that you create when spending time with something or someone for a period of time. for example, i wanted to get out of boston when i graduated from college. but then the stupid bondages i created while in college became the main reason that i stayed... hoping that i would find a job at the time, although deep in my heart i know i won't stay in that city and began work. (is that weird to talk about it now?)

anyway, so the tale goes on... at least I spent 4 and a half year in Boston to get really tired of it... whereas here in Taiwan, where I have spent not even 2 years since my return... is getting on my nerve every single second of everyday. sad. y can't y be satisfied with what they have got at the moment and always seeks for more? greedy. indeed.

again, i know there are many good qualities on this island. but i guess i am not "good enough" for it. my heart will always lean towards the city of freedom and possibilities. a recent re-mix song ("Empire State of Mind") by Jay-Z and Alicia keys, chant about the city that many loved and loves. The part where Alicia sings ....

In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
Theres nothing you can’t do,
Now you’re in New York,
these streets will make you feel brand new,
Big lights will inspire you,
lets hear it for New York, New York, New York

ain't that totally true? well at least in my opinion, it is.

TRC's first PV comes out, ready for viewing on their official site! :)

movies and so on..

i took the liberty of watching two movies at work yesterday (shame shame shame)...well, let me explain myself... there are not many translating jobs for me on editing as of now, and no one else that i ought to contact works on Sundays... so y don't i use the fast internet connections at Homer and watch some movies? so there it was, my excuse ... :)
so the movies I saw were "Where the Wild things are" and "Julie & Julia"... I don't know if it was only me, but "where the wild things are" is a strange movie!... I mean, it was a interesting children's book story to begin with, but man~ it was strange. Tho I admire the talent of the director Spike Jonze to transform something so short into an almost 1:30h movie. And the set, costumes were in no doubt the well-known children's story. Tha's all I have to say about this one.

the next "Julie & Julia." What a delicious movie, I must say! ohhh~ the French cuisine! YUM! It was a movie adopted from a novel which was written based on two true stories~ True stories are always convincing subjects to me. The story was filimed in two periods. One, on the story about Julia Child, a famous American French Cook, whose book "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" changed many American household cooking. The other, a girl named "Julie Powell" who is a big admirer of Julia Child set a task on herself of cooking every single receipe in the book within one year, and blog about it. These two characters somehow also intertwined as the movie goes. Starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. ohhhh this movie was so cute and made me wanna have my own kitchen and start cooking again. For those... who love food, you must take a look at this movie :)

so... the conclusion is.... hum... i really should do something about my lack of passion... I mean, i should find a goal.. like Julie Powell in the movie, she gave herself a task to acomplish.. I think that's a motiv for life... what should my be? anyone?
