A Charity Concert in Taipei

A Charity Concert : 
The Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra .
Conductor Tamas Vasary , Soloist Violinist Vilmos Szabadi . — feelingawesome at 國家音樂廳 National Concert Hall.

I do not feel like writing any critics about a passionate and spiritual fulling concert...., which reminded me my college experience when playing as a cellist in the university and in the county orchestra. :)

There is an another thing saddens me that I could not look at  those physical impaired children in their eyes ....Besides, as soon as I know my friend was going to take a leave for 20 months behind bars, I totally fell into a melancholy and retrospective mode. 

Honey Toast ~~~

Honey Toast has been popular for quite a while, but it has not diminished its photogenic charm ! 

Feeling Sweet !! 

OH, Honey.... 

God, I suddenly heard that spicy voice from 2006, a devilish women's voice that hunted one's dreams...well...Lucky me. I am eating them, instead of dealing with these neurotic people  !!

Feeling Loved by my inner God....:)

只求在我最美的年華里 ，遇到你 。”

Buddha Nature in Great Gatsby ~~

Fitzgerald 

If for the slightest moment, I suddenly realize the light or the Buddha Nature within a man's consciousness ,  it is because of him, Jay Gatsby, who upheld all the optimistic hope for humanity ! As we all yearn for the green light and guidance in life, that we strive to reach the other shore while incessantly we were being drawn back to the original starting point. 


Sad, isn't it? However, there is Gastby , a gigantic and romantic hero , who at the end bestowed a hope for audience like us , whithin and whitout the chaotic universe.  

However, not that human beings are so vicious, but they do have their shortcomings that become the cause of the faults others may criticize! 

 “And I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy.” The Great Gatsby 

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” 

“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.” 

“I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.” 
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it's these things I'd believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.” 
― F. Scott Fitzgerald

“Whenever you feel like criticizing any one...just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.”  The Great Gatsby

Is Anger a bad thing ?

"I don’t say anger is wrong, I say anger is energy,
pure energy, beautiful energy. When anger arises, be aware of it, and see the miracle happen. When anger arises, be aware of it, and if you are aware you will be surprised; you are in for a surprise – maybe the greatest surprise of your life – that as you become aware, anger disappears. Anger is transformed." #Osho- from Emotions.

 In multiple eBook formats:  Kindle,  Kindle (with video),  Nook,   iBook,  Kobo

Strong emotions that we don’t know how to handle effectively lie at the core of so many difficulties in the life of the individual. They can affect our relationships with loved ones, and how we function in our work. They play a profound role in how we feel about ourselves, and can even affect our physical health. And we are too often trapped in the dilemma of “expression” versus “repression.” Expressing our emotions can often hurt others, but by repressing them – even in the benevolent guise of “self-control” – we risk hurting ourselves. 

Autumn Nature Video & Poetry ～～～

少年不識愁滋味，愛上層樓，

愛上層樓，為賦新詞強說愁。

而今識盡愁滋味，欲說還休，

欲說還休，卻道天涼好個秋！

Once we were so Close, and yet so far...

It is a city of variance; 
It is a city of congruence.
It is a moment of light;
It is a moment of darkness.
Once we were so close,
And yet so far...

When time goes by distance, awareness transgresses its boundaries.
Love is so formidable that
breaches every principle of one's belief . 
Is that the flexibility of mind?
Or the suppression of one's own personal quality and charisma?
Or the practice of non self?

It is the age of innocence;
It is the age of mundane. 
The question is 
how can you live as happily hereafter as all the reoccurrence of drama and trauma in time.

Emptiness and Truth cannot be separated ! 

If I can still understand what I just wrote when I awake in couple hours, I will be one step toward enlightenment I pray... — feeling sleepy.

Adventure of Finding Black Bear in Taiwan ~~~

尋熊記，作者，黃美秀：

在那段「逐熊而居」的日子裡，我「好像愛上寫東西或記錄，它變成是一種冥想的方式，一種習慣，思考與獨處的過程」，「好像它能讓我重新審視這刻骨銘心的生活，為自己記錄生命軌跡的同時，也讓心靈沈澱淨化。這樣一對一的對話，最後反成一種苦難中的莫大享受。並不是為了以後要出書而寫，而是當下的一種歷程。這使我想起一些在集中營或牢獄的人，會利用時間偷偷寫作，這是一種寄託，也是一種生命的展現。每個人都有能力去選擇安置靈魂的方法。苦讓生命深刻了……」

（二○○○年八月五日16:20）。如今，我方了解這種自我對話本是一種自我治療、安撫、激勵的過程，尤其是當深處於不確定及困難的環境中，比如捉或追不著熊、三番兩次遇到颱風、病痛求助無門等。
然而，對於此書的出版，我一直有幾分惶恐，除了涉及私人札記的公開以外，將自己過去做研究時的種種錯誤、遲疑、惶恐，以及批評意見如此昭告天下，也是很恐怖的事。但是，如果說我在黑熊的研究過程中，是不斷從錯誤中學習，從挫敗中站起來，自是盼望其他後學亦能從我的經驗中減少日後嘗試錯誤的機會、進一步了解野外研究的可能實況。


另一方面，也希望這些故事能讓讀者認識所謂的「野生動物研究者」，絕非鎮日身著迷彩裝、脖掛望遠鏡、背負背包，在風光明媚的山林裡終日與研究的動物為伍，一副不食人間煙火的逍遙模樣。在真實世界裡，野外工作有時面臨的是最基本的求生訓練，而長期離群索居、週而復始的研究工作，有時也絕非單純地個人興趣可以支撐或解釋的。藉著分享我於野外研究第一線上的見聞和心情故事，期望國人對台灣深山這後花園的蠻荒原始與寶貴，以及瀕危的台灣黑熊多一分認識，進而對我們共同生長的這片土地多一分疼惜。這才是出版此書的最重要的動機，雖然並非最初動機。

Timeless Valentines ~~~

現代戀人，一年見一次面，
能夠貼心永恆流長的，
親愛的，會有嗎？

古代人實在是好浪漫好唯美喲！

祝福
天下有情人心中有愛，
在無限的時間空間裡，
情永恆，愛長存！！

寫於七夕，中秋。。。

入秋之後，才又想起來。。。

有感於，親近的人，真心和善對待我好的人，

又快離開了。。。

人世，
如此短暫。   
前世今生，  

如風吹動湖水，波心漣漪 ，

擴散著，散佈著，直到能量消逝的那秒鐘。
傷悲，無奈，可惜。。。還是慶幸？ 

世界，就是這樣

別想太多，永遠沒有答案的，

認真的學習，天真的玩，真心的創造，

用心的觀察自己的起心動念，

也許，在最沒有預期的某一天，

將會明瞭這宇宙間的一切奧妙。。。

時間是無止境的，生命也是連續不斷的。。。

只不過是用不同形式在進行。

The Future City : Metabolism Architecture

代謝派未來都市展～～～

"Metabolism" was an architectural movement committed to the future development of urban and architectural exploration, a forerunner of contemporary Japanese Architecture movement. The only architectural movement to have begun in Asia, it has played an influential role in the development of international architecture.

The main idea behind this movement emphasized that cities and architecture should exist like living organisms that keep growing, reproducing and transforming in response to their natural and social environments.

It was established by a group of young critics , architects and designers, including 丹下健三 Tange Kenzo ，Kurokawa Kisho 黑川紀章，菊竹清訓Kikutake Kiyonori  and Maki Fumihiko 慎文彥who participated in the 1960 " World Design Conference" held in Tokyo. Their vision of declaration stated , " Not only should we accept the history of metabolism, we should also actively encourage metabolic development of our city.

The Objectives of this movement are focused on  Prefabricaion and Capsule Architecture , of which had a tremendous influence on the development of the future architectures in the city design in the world. 預鑄建築，膠囊建築

4. 黑川紀章，東京國立新美術館

佔地 3 萬平方公尺的的國立新美術館是黑川紀章 2007 年完成的設計大作，這個位於東京六本木區的美術館，以波動起伏造型的玻璃帷幕構成壯麗建築外觀，正面玻璃窗為建築內部帶入充足的光線，不帶能省電也能創造內部多重的光影變化，在設計上，黑川紀章使用了慣用的圓錐元素，像是入口的圓盤連接三角錐，以及在大廳為空間帶來壯闊感受的兩座倒圓錐體（如右下圖），在倒圓錐的頂部更分別設置了咖啡廳與米其林三星餐廳。 

5. 稹文彥  "新加坡理工學院校園"

6. 菊竹清訓 太陽能屋，層構造預製件

樹木的生長型態也是菊竹清訓構思垂直群落的靈感來源，他曾於1968年提出「樹狀居所」（Tree-shaped Community）的都市住宅概念，「樹狀居所」是以建築中央之主結構體為核心，向外生長出數個由梯田型態所組成的居住群落，每5個樓層形成一個基本群落生活單位，中央結構體內部則配置了提供每個居住群落使用的公園空間，形成一種綠地立體化，甚至是垂直森林的空間樣貌，而此般高空綠化的觀念，在當代的建築裡已成為常見的設計手法，菊竹清訓在1994年完成的作品「東京索菲特飯店」（Hotel Sofitel Tokyo），在建築外觀上也採用了近似於「樹狀居所」的型態概念。

What is the meaning of Life...?

When was the last time I took a photo in the car ??


Indulge myself by contemplating ...
 and by taking photos in the car ~~

If you are perplexing about the meaning of life ,
I can assure you that you and I can create a meaningful one,
by merely having the desire to create ...

Do you love me as much , if ...?

Self Portrait 

If there is no time....
If everything freezes at this moment...
If there is no clock ticking...
If there is no sunrise  and sunset....

Do you still cherish every moment with your love ?
Do you still love me as much as you do ?

Fashion is very much like Romance...

Fashion is very much like modern Romance that you would love it at the moment, and you would discard it soon for its ephemeral and illusionary qualities！

時尚和現代人的戀愛很相似，
當下你會愛上她，
但不久你將會把它拋棄，

她們都是同樣的短暫與虛無！

Roger Sun:  往往 她只是我們對於完美與出類拔萃的一種永遠無法滿足的偏執追求..

Angel: 精髓！！ ！不斷的更新不斷的追求另一個自我的滿足的東西，真實到令人著迷，但也極虛幻。。。

Frncese K: Long-lasting fashion is, however, a rare find akin to a good marriage that lasts and retains its flair and shine, despite occasional neglect in the closet every once in a while.....bc it is true beauty that won't fade even amidst never-ending new concepts and competition.


Angel : Dear Frances Yes! Long lasting fashion, as so called classic style will not fade and diminish its beauty by time , and so does true love !! Despite all the competitions, I am certain that they will last for at least One century long .....

Poet with Lion in Kenya

Photo by Song in Kenya , Africa

這是前日機場火燒的肯亞，
坐在面對火山口高級餐廳，
斑馬在後院吃草，
大象在家門前小溪用鼻子吸水喝，
花鹿走至門口似乎想進門討食，
鴕鳥悠閒的過馬路，
獅子大牌的慵懶的俯視你，
羚羊成群趕路去。。。

似乎大地才是他們的家，
自由自在的，
人類才是多餘之物，
不足以重視！

不遠處傳來土著歌唱祈禱聲，
與空氣裡不時的鳥鳴及此起比落的走步聲，
呼應著，
像是與大自然一體的，
在警覺中悠然自得。

我們文明的人類在這裡，
唐突的像沒被看在眼裡的皇帝，
又緊張，又興奮，
又慶幸，又感嘆！！

The Coolest Bar in Taipei

Orange,  contrasting color ~~~ 

Yen Bar ~~

Purple Brilliance is the name of this Bar in W-Hotel Taipie where you can experience the  purple atmosphere and the accompaniment of Taipei 101 building, which is a quite unique experience, especially at the New Year Eve !




















As if Im sitting on purple clouds
Covered in purple shrouds
Singing purple kissed melodies loud
The Purple Master himself would be proud

Gifted, these fragrant purple flowers
Soaking wet, drenched from purple showers
Lifted, high high high atop purple towers

Get as I walk through purple haze rooms
Filled with purple phased fumes
Im enlightened by the purple tazed blooms
Purple vibes that remove crazed glooms

Hungry I appetize on purple wood blunts
To then feat upon a purple smoke lunch 
Fade to purple to get me through the Crunch
