Last 7 months…

It’s been 7 months since I’ve updated this blog, so I must have been ridiculously busy.  However looking back, I have just been busy playing those crazy games on Facebook and with work.  For all those friends who are wondering how my parents are doing, thank you ~~ they are doing fine. 

On the other hand, work has been a strain lately at work.  A new “General” is in town and she driving the whole office crazy.  She is a total control freak but I’ll ride out the wave until this all boils over. 

As for television entertainment, Season 8 of Bones just finished almost 2 weeks ago.  It was a good season, lots of “political” awareness episodes but they were actually quite good.  I really liked the Veteran’s day show that tied into 911.  As for the season finale… the proposal was so sweet!  It actually brought a huge smile to my face!  But “Ugh”! I hate Pelant for making Booth hurt Brennan at the end by turning her down, the blood thirsty fan in me really want him killed off!  Well, it will be 4-5 months before season 9 begins and I will be resigning myself to watching reruns all summer long. 

As for Love..come Home, it’s entertaining.  I was getting a bit quizzical  because I couldn’t figure out how this show is considered to be a situation comedy when I don’t remember really laughing all that much.  To me, it’s more like a “morality” show, trying to show what family and friends mean.  Yes, I don’t “chase” it like I did with Off Pedder and it has nothing to do with the acting or the script but I think it’s because of the storyline.   I am very delighted that 郭少芸 has such a different role compare to her previous roles in BBS and OP.  I have always liked her acting so I am happy for her.  However, I can’t get into her romance with 涼分.

Anyways, till next time… Bonjour and take care!

Weddings

Seriously, when one gets to my age, getting invited to weddings usually means my friends kids are getting hitched. Not acquaintances that are close to my age.

最近看了男人如衣服...

By chance, I've watched this movie recently. I had really wanted to see it because of MoMo and there were such hoopla about it. All the talk about the dance sequence, a Mothers love scene, and difficulties of being a single Mom.
Wow..... talk about hoopla. I was so disappointed. I just can't seem to enjoy a HKG comedy except for one or two classics. Well, maybe I should say I don't enjoy slapstick comedy except for the Dick Van Dyke Show with Mary Tyler Moore. To me, almost all HKG comedy films are in the category of slapstick.
The only segment that I liked was when "Spring" came home and saw her daughter making a dividing line down the living room and her subsequent outburst. BUT I was like "huh?" in the following scene... I couldn't believe that was MoMo doing the crying. It seemed a bit overboard or ... do I dare say it... It was so fake! (Now I wonder whether she really like doing this movie as much as she said.)
Anyways, I sincerely hope that MoMo will get a much better script with a supporting cast that she deserves. I don't want to see her having to 醜化 herself in future roles. Yikes! Don't ever become another 吳君如! I would totally die!
In retrospect(again), her role in OP was really, really well done. It transcended gaps of age, culture, and gender. I better go and watch some reruns to get this awful taste out of my mouth.

Christmas is around the corner again.

Bellagio always has such awesome decorations.

Your smile and laughter…

… is the first things that come to my mind when I think of you, Ronnie.  When I heard the news Friday night, needless to say, I was dumb founded and desperately trying to gather enough wits to try to find out more of what happened.  I searched the up to the minute news on TV and online but they did not officially released your name.  When I finally got the second call from Greg at midnight that James had confirmed with Jim that it was you…all I could think of is your smile and laughter.  How I won’t be able to ever hear it again. 

It’s been seven years since we first met.   Your long shaggy hair and bright smile… remember the night , years ago, hat I was at the yard and you came in from a Canyon trip?  We were standing there counting your tips and laughing about something frivolous.  You are way too young to have been taken from those you have touched. 

Today, when we had our meeting, Brendo told us how you had just enough in you after your heart attach or seizure to go off the road and come to an embankment before collapsing.  Your skill, bravery, and courage saved 54 lives.  Now, your lasting impression on your fellow drivers and myself is how you were an angel before you became one for real.  Ronnie, rest in peace and I hope you fill heaven with your laughter as you have done on earth.  Love you and will miss you always.

Tomorrow’s another day…

Trudging along where days run into each other and I can’t even tell what day of the week I am in is utterly depressing when I sit down and think about it.  When and how did my life come to this point?  I’m just so tired of it all…

Bones is back!

Season 8 has not disappoint so far! Dang, I love the chemistry between all the actors on this show.
