冬至到了。你会选怎样的汤圆?

a. 包芝麻、花生的甜汤圆
b. 包肉或其他香料的咸汤圆
c. 没有任何馅料的汤圆
d. 油炸汤圆

测试你有多任性。

a. 包芝麻、花生的甜汤圆你的任性是众所周知的。对于自己不喜欢的事情一定会快速地远离,打死都不愿意轻易的接触。撒娇、耍赖是你最拿手的绝招。凡事先挑简单轻松的来做,不轻易招揽责任。只要不合你意,马上会大发少爷/小姐脾气。

b. 包肉或其他香料的咸汤圆你是一个相当成熟的人,从小就是小大人的模样。同辈、长辈一样信任你。你常担任照顾他人、保护他人的角色。要你任性妄为真的谈何容易。

c. 没有任何馅料的汤圆你是一个不会任意耍脾气的人。面对许多事情都会先想好处理的方式。就算你任性、耍脾气,也是经过思考的。

d. 油炸汤圆你的个性带点天真、孩子气。不由自主、自然而然就会任性的举动。你会想要大家把焦点放在你身上,因而忘了顾虑他人的感受与辛苦。虽然你不是故意的,但会让部分朋友受不了。

My death forecast

It is estimated that you will die at the age of 76 Years Old.
Note: This is an estimate using scientific data obtained from dozens of health studies. But, keep in mind it is based on averages, and you may live many years longer than what is predicted or you may get hit by a bus and die tomorrow. Also, at some point in the future you might change your lifestyle to be more or less healthy, which would make a big difference in your estimated lifespan.

Do You Follow Your Heart or Your Head?

You follow your heart when it comes to success

You're an impassioned individual who just can't suppress your ideals. You've got a strong sense of right and wrong, and want to let people know when they've crossed the line. Sure, there are times when you sit back to hear both sides of an argument. But people had better stay out of the way when your fiery passions take holds.
But just because you can be a bit of a rebel with a cause, it doesn't mean you're incapable of being understanding and compassionate. It's because you're so invested in your ideas and interests that you can work so tirelessly toward your goals and speak up for what you believe in. So keep pouring your heart into it. With conviction like yours, you're sure to succeed!

What Kind of Cool Are You?

You're Calm, Cool, and Collected

Do your friends like to lean on your shoulder? Ask you for advice in life and love? Put you on speed-dial for emergencies? We bet they do. You're as balanced as they come. When it comes to making decisions, you're not afraid to take the time to weigh your options carefully in order to make the right choice. And it takes more than a few obstacles to rattle your cool head.

The good news is that you've also got lots of heart, and you make sure that people know that you always have their backs. There's almost nothing more important to you than the people in your life, so being a support to them is the coolest thing around. Just like you.

What's Your Fantasy Home?

Pig pig, your fantasy home is a Relaxed Retreat

Home sweet home. For a low-key person like you, your home should be a comfortable and warm place that soothes your spirit and warms your soul. After a tough day, you'd probably rather head to your cozy haven than blow off steam at the gym or out on the town.
Whether you're lounging on an overstuffed couch, taking a bath, or cooking dinner, your home is a place to relax and be yourself. That's why you're sure to fill it with all the creature comforts that make it so inviting to you and everyone you know. So put your feet up, kick back, and enjoy!

I cried...

I cried just now... The feeling just came while I was listening to 许哲佩's 白色婚礼. It wasn't because of the song that I cried. Somehow I just thought of my grandma again. I was, in some ways, reminded by myself that she had actually left us beginning of this year, at the age of 71, and was reminiscing the past... Events that seemed to happen just yesterday... I can remember clearly what happened at her wake... The rituals, the people who attended... And I was wondering why my siblings isn't feeling much like I do. Or I didn't get to visually see their sadness?
Again I felt so much indebted to her... How she used to bring me up... And I get to stay at her apartment and woke up early in the morning 'cos I heard her in the kitchen boiling water, cleaning up... The past... Never been able to get a chance to feel that again...
I guess I've yet to fully let go of everything; still holding on to some unhappiness which is already a fact, but I don't really wish to accept... Or did I just visited the room that I lived then?
Please come back to present.

Know where true happiness comes from

Imgaine you fall in love. You feel fantastic, happy, excited. You go to meet your new love and when you see them, that feeling spills out in all directions. You feel amazing because you are with them and they are generating that feeling. Right? Wrong. You brought it all with you. You may look to them to trigger it but even if they go to the other end of the planet, you'll still have that feeling and they're nowhere near you.
People get addicted to things (whatever things) because they just love that feeling without realising that they already have it. They have to keep having their 'fix' because they think it's the only way to get that feeling going. The secret is knowing how to trigger it without anyone else or anything else being involved. You have to find that one for yourself. Clue: It's the one place you'd never think of looking, yep, right inside you.
I think you might have brought that feeling with you

You'll never understand everything

We are tiny complex humans in a huge complex world (and even bigger universe). It's all so unimaginably, fantastically strange that believe me we'll never be able to understand everything. And that applies at all levels and in all areas of life.
There are likely to be few things going on around you right now, as there always will be, that will remain just slightly outside of your comprehension. People will behave oddly and you won't understand why. Things will go unexpectedly wrong - or right - and it won't make sense. Spend all your time desperately trying to work it all out and you'll drive yourself crazy. Much better to just accept that there is always stuff that we won't understand and let it go at that. How simple that is.
People will behave oddly. Things will go unexpectedly wrong - or right
It's the same principle for the big stuff - why things happen to us, why we are here, where we go afterwards, that aort of thing. Some of it we'll never know, some of it we can try and work out, but I have a sneaking feeling it won't turn out to be anything like we think.
It's as if our lives are an enormous jigsaw and all we get access to is the bottom left hand bit. And from that we make these huge assumptions: 'Oh, it's a...' But when the veil gets taken away we see that the jigsaw is massive and that the one tiny bit we were scrutinizing was actually something else, and there we are looking at an entirely different picture to the one we'd imagined.
We are now collecting information faster than any human, or any computer, can process it. We can't understand it all. We can't even begin to understand a tiny fraction of it. Same with our lives. Stuff is going on around us at such a rate we'll never get to the bottom of it. Because as fast as we try, picture changes, new information comes in and our understanding alters.
Be curious, ask questions, wonder to yourself, talk to other people if you like - but know that this won't always give you a clear and concrete answer. People don't always make sense. Life doesn't always make sense. Let it go and discover the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you'll never understand everything. Sometimes it just is.

Keep the faith

Keeping the faith is about sticking to your promises, going down into darkness rose-crowned, proud, unreluctant, knowing you've done the right thing, stuck by your friends in times of trouble. These are perhaps old-fashioned values - honour, loyalty, trust, pride, fidelity, reliability, dependability, strength, seeing things through, constancy - but no less worth having for all that. We live in a throw-away society and keeping your word, being there when you said you would, being dependable and reliable, makes you stand out as a person of some value, some worth. This is a good thing.
We fight shy of being 'good' these days in case people mistake us for 'goody-goodies'. But that's another thing entirely. Keeping the faith is something you do. Being a goody-goody is when you try to convert others. Having your own values and keeping them to yourself is fine. Trying to make everyone else do the same as you is a bad thing. That makes you a goody-goody.

The Hill by Rupert Brooke

The Hill

Breathless, we flung us on the windy hill,
Laughed in the sun, and kissed the lovely grass.
You said, "Through glory and ecstasy we pass;
Wind, sun, and earth remain, the birds sing still,
When we are old, are old. . . ." "And when we die
All's over that is ours; and life burns on
Through other lovers, other lips," said I,
-- "Heart of my heart, our heaven is now, is won!"

"We are Earth's best, that learnt her lesson here.
Life is our cry. We have kept the faith!" we said;
"We shall go down with unreluctant tread
Rose-crowned into the darkness!" . . . Proud we were,
And laughed, that had such brave true things to say.
-- And then you suddenly cried, and turned away.

It's OK to feel big emotions

We are human beings and we have emotions. This is all quite natural. It is quite natural to feel big things deeply and it's OK to let it all show. We don't have to be ashamed of our feelings. It is OK to cry. Sitting on our feelings isn't a good idea. They just get squashed that way. Far better to let them out, deal with them and then get on with things.
Sitting on our feelings isn't a good idea. They just get squashed that way
If we go through trauma, upsetting experiences and difficult times, it certainly doesn't help to be thinking all the time that we have to keep a lid on it or people will think us weak or out of control. It might look as if it contradicts keeping our dignity, but feeling emotion is not undignified unless we express it inappropriately or at the wrong time.
Sometimes even getting angry is totally appropriate - as long as we remain in control and don't do anything we might regret later. Getting angry reminds people that we aren't a pushover and that they have hurt/offended/threathened us deeply and seriously and that their actions have caused us great pain. Of course we shouldn't get angry over silly things - instead we choose to show anger only when it is needed, and needed seriously. Likewise it's not good to get angry and take it out on innocent people - if you can't express the anger appropriately, then you need to find a way of letting it out that isn't going to hurt anybody else. But let it out you must. Bottled anger eats away at you.
It's not just anger that shouldn't be permanently restrained. Neither should fear or anxiety or great joy or any of the other emotions. Just because we are feeling big emotions doesn't mean we are out of control. We can be quite emotional and still be in charge of what we are expressing. You wouldn't be human if you didn't feel stuff - and feel it big time. It is natural and you shouldn't even make any attempt to stifle it. Of course you can make sure it is let out at an appropriate time and place, but that is within your control. But then again if you do respond badly, you can always feel guilty about it afterwards - and that's OK too.

Have dignity

Almost all successful people have a sense of their own dignity. They are all pretty solid in themselves, they have worked out who they are and what they are about. They don't need to show off, brag about what they have or who they are. They don't need to draw attention to themselves because they aren't particularly interested in what we think - they maintain decorum not because they are frightened of making a fool of themselves or falling flat on their face but because they simply can't be bothered with attention-seeking stuff.
It is important - if you want to be successful - to show poise, gravitas, be a bit seperate from the herd, have good manners, be polite and considerate and to be someone others might like to look up to. You don't have to be all aloof and stand-offish, serious and grown-up. You can still have fun - just don't go making a prat of yourself. You can still let your hair down - just don't let go of control completely. You can still relax - just don't fall off the edge.
Dignity is about showing self-respect and having quiet self-esteem. It's amazing how others will respect you and hold you in greater esteem when you start the ball rolling.
Dignity is about showing self-respect and having quiet self-esteem

Learn to ask questions

You may not like the answers but at least you'll know. Most of the world's problems can be laid firmly at the feet of assumptions. If we assume then, in effect, we think we know but we don't. We assume that our bit of faulty information is a fact and things go on getting worse. We assume that other people like our plan but they don't and it all goes pear-shaped. Better to ask questions right from the start and know what's what.
Questions help clarify the situation. Questions put people on the spot, which means they have to think - and thinking is always a good thing for everybody about everything. Questions help people clarify thoughts. Questions demand answers and answers require the situation to be thought through, to its logical conclusion.
Questions help people clarify their thoughts
Asking questions gives you time to think, buys you breathing space. Rather than flying off the handle because you think you know the situation, it's better to ask a few questions and find out the truth. You'll be better equipped to respond logically, calmly and correctly.
Ask questions of yourself constantly. Ask why you think you're right - or wrong. Ask yourself why you are doing certain things, want other things, follow a particular course of action. Question yourself firmly and rigorously because maybe there isn't anyone else doing it. And you need it. We all do. It keeps us from assuming we know what's best for ourselves.
And of course there is a time to stop asking questions; of others and of ourselves. You have to know when to back off. All this takes a long time to learn and we all make mistakes as we go. Any questions?

Anger Management (2003)

Details: 101 mins, Comedy
Starring:
Adam Sandler, John Turturro, Woody Harrelson, Luis Guzman, Jack Nicholson
Directed by: Peter Segal
After a misunderstanding aboard an airplane that escalates out of control, the mild-mannered Dave Buznik is ordered by Judge Daniels to attend anger management sessions run by Doctor Buddy Rydell, which are filled with highly eccentric and volatile men and women. Buddys unorthodox approach to therapy is confrontational and abrasive and Dave is bewildered by it. Then, after yet another mishap, Judge Daniels orders Dave to step up his therapy or wind up in jail. So, Buddy moves in with Dave to help him battle his inner demons. Buddy himself has no inner demons since he acts out at every opportunity and that includes making lewd comments about Daves girlfriend Linda and goading Dave into confronting every slight, past or present, head-on. But Buddy finally goes too far and Dave must decide whether to crawl back into his shell or stand up for himself. Could it be that Buddys confounding and contradictory treatment is just what the doctor ordered?
Seriously, I think I need this kind of treatment too! Haha! Who can give me a helping hand?

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

Release Date: 25th May 2006
Details: 103 mins, PG, Action
Starring:
Ian McKellen, Vinnie Jones, Aaron Stanford, Famke Janssen, Rebecca Romijn
Directed by: Brett Ratner
Local Distributor: 20th Century Fox
In "X-Men: The Last Stand," the final chapter in the "X-Men" motion picture trilogy, a "cure" for mutancy threatens to alter the course of history. For the first time, mutants have a choice: retain their uniqueness, though it isolates and alienates them, or give up their powers and become human.
The opposing viewpoints of mutant leaders Charles Xavier, who preaches tolerance, and Magneto, who believes in the survival of the fittest, are put to the ultimate test - triggering the war to end all wars.
Within the framework of an epic, action-packed story, X-Men: The Last Stand raises issues with strong contemporary relevance: Is conformity an antidote to prejudice? Is it cowardice to give up individuality to fit in and avoid persecution? Do ends justify means? Is great power a blessing or a curse?

I didn't watch the previous 2 movies, so I wasn't much following the story. However, I like this! Just find it nice & cool! 4/5 stars!
