Shakespeare Retold























Shakespeare is immortal. The "Shakespeare Retold" series is really brillian. Great literature should live forever since human nature (the passion, love and hate) is universal.

Macbeth: it is quite funny to see three
garbage men instead of dancing weird witches. Of course, they do the fortune-telling as well. In the same way, it works for Macbeth, for his desire.

The taming of the shrew: the main female figure is a bit over done. It is hard to sell the "husband center" idea nowadays. Sometimes, two worst can be a match made in heaven.

Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day 另一场倾城之恋













Amy Adams 唱的 if I didnt care 真的是打动了我。
这里伦敦上空的警报成就了两个人的倾城之恋: Miss Delysia Lafosse or pain, old Sarah Grubb 和 Miss Pettigrew.

  • We’re going to war, arent we?
  • Yes, we are.
  • And that is why you must not waste a second of this precious life
  • listen to me.
  • Once, I too had ambitions
  • Not your grand ones, Simple ambitions
  • Marriage, Children and a house of our own
  • He died. In the mud in France.
  • A good, solid man.
  • You would call him dull, no doubt.
  • but he smiled whenever he saw me, and we could’ve built a life on that.
  • Your heart knows the truth, Delysia.
  • Trust it, for life is short.

If I didnt care

if I didnt care
more than words can say
if I didnt care
would I feel this way?
If this isnt love
then why do I thrill
and what makes my head go round and round
while my heart stands still
if I didnt care
would it be the same
would my every prayer begin and end
with just your name
and would I be sure that this is love
beyond compare
would all this be true
if I didnt care
for you

from thank you for smoking to conversations with other women

Conversations with other women

There are always nice people around you. You can definitely find someone nice and loves you. You probably fell in love with him or her too. However, keep the relationship going, specially in the right track, could be hard. Do cherish what you have, otherwise there would be just memory left for you.

Juliana

It is always fun to hear storys of culture shock. I love this one.
Juli is the short version of Juliana. It is a nice name. But it sounds fun when you say it in a SPANISH way in CHINA. Juli would sound like Huli in Chinese. What is Huli? Fortunately it is not a question like who is Hu.

Yes, this is Huli. :D In the chinese fairy tales, foxes can turn into beautiful women and seduce men. Hmmm...probabaly it is better to pronounce it in the English way.
