很愛
我們總是以為，我們會找到一個自己很愛很愛的人。
可是當我們回首，才發覺自己曾經多麼天真。
假如從來沒有開始，你怎麼知道自己會不會很愛很愛那個人呢？
其實，很愛很愛的感覺，是要在一起經歷了許多事情之後才會發現的
如果你懂得珍惜，你會發現你獲得的越來越多， 如果你一昧追求，你會發現你失去的越來越快。
愛情合理就好，不要委屈將就，不要相信完美的愛情， 其實彼此有缺點，有一種純樸的可愛就足夠了。
一個人的生命裡，擦肩而過的人有千千萬萬， 有幾個是知音？有幾個是深愛自己的人？ 愛情再堅固，也無法承受忙碌的侵蝕， 你忙得天荒地亂，你忙得忘記關心，你忙得身心疲憊，你忙得無所適從， 但是 ------ 愛情不能等你有空才珍惜。
"A Pixar animated film, it's about a one-eyed, gun-toting ballet-dancer with a stutter who flees her lesbian parents and gets trapped in a deep chasm in the Ozarks. Now she's one-armed and one-eyed, and she dreams within a dream that she's created a new social networking site for washed-up boxers."----Oscar Nominations: What's In, What's Out

I'm waaaay tired of this whole Amy Chua situation, but one last post!
Remember "Date An Asian", Jenny strikes again with "Tiger Mom"
First..SOPHIA CHUA-RUBENFELD's article from NY Post, not bad, hmmm
Then PBS's article about Among Asian-American women, a little known battle with depression
Ungh. Rarr. Ungh. Rarr.
Yo, I’m the tiger mother
Hardcore parenting like no other
But I’m also a professor at Yale
And I got a crazy ass new book on sale
Talkin bout how Chinese mothers are superior
Rest of ya’ll with Montessori are inferior
I don’t allow sleepovers or play dates
My kid’s have fun doing math on a milk crate
Cuz they’re gonna be tough! So tough! After they have been broke down emotionally first.
Chorus:
Let me tell you bout my battle hymn
Piano violin piano violin
Extreme Asian parenting
I raise my kids to be high achievers
Building on their minds all the time like beavers
Cuz DAMN my kids never get less than 100 on a test
If they did I would flip the f*** out
So I found the key to perfection is assimilation
Don’t let my daughters out the house so life’s a simulation
Now I’m selling my techniques like a corporation
And I’m married to a guy named Jed!!!
Chorus:
Let me tell you bout my battle hymn
Piano violin piano violin
Extreme Asian parenting
Hippie western parents are ok with a B-minus
Mediocrity is like the blanket on Linus
I ripped up the birthday card you gave to me
Cuz it’s more Hallmark than Papyrus
I want my kids to feel like Rocky – “Adrian!”
But first they gotta feel like Gollum – “Precious!”
Practice a billion times till you get this
If you’re not perfect you will get an eye infection
So you better keep practicing. Better get perfect. Or else…you will turn into garbage. A large garbage can. They’re gonna pick you up on Sunday and Tuesday nights unless there’s a holiday and you’ll be living at the landfill like Oscar the Grouch.
Gladwell says it takes 10,000 hours to be good
Well I say 500 bajillion 74 to the pi times infiniti divided – no, not divided….
Chorus:
Let me tell you bout my battle hymn
Piano violin piano violin
Harvard, Columbia and Princeton
Piano violin piano violin
I’ve got to make perfect children
Extreme Asian parenting
I’m crazier than all the other moms
Crazier than Natalie Portman’s mom in Black Swan
Barbara Hershey!!!!! She was so powerful in Beaches
I’m crazier than Joan Crawford
No wire hangers? No wire hangers? No WOODEN hangers! No plastic hangers!
No titanium! Or crochet!
I only like these velvet ones I got from Crate & Barrel

Are we monkeys?
A monologue from a play:
Have you ever noticed how most Asian-Americans are slightly brain-damaged from having grown up with Asian parents? It’s like being raised by monkeys—these retarded monkeys who can barely speak English and are too evil to understand anything besides conformity and status. Most of us hate these monkeys from an early age and try to learn how to be human from school or television, but the result is always tainted by this subtle or not-so-subtle retardation. Asian people from Asia are even more brain-damaged, but in a different way, because they are the original monkey. Anyway, some white men who like Asian women seem to like this retarded quality as well, and sometimes the more retarded the better.

My happy meal
I don't think I can call this "a vegan meal". I think chicken & fish stock was used in that tofu-mushroom consommé 
The shit hit the fan.
Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior,
I am 300% in disgreement with the author, and I feel very sorry for her. Opportunities that she offered to her girls are great and definitely help the girls build value, character and work ethic, but she has no idea how she is damaging her daughters and their skills in team work, interpersonal development or their self esteems, and it is ridiculous that she thinks it is necessary to insult her daughter with name calling, she is bullying her daughters as she was once bullied. This hits too close to home.
Parents like Amy Chua are the reason why Asian-Americans like me are in therapy
I love how Betty and other fellow bloggers are sharing their views on their personal testimonials.
Amy Chu's article is firing up a storm in th APIAs community. This will be fun to read.

水銀阿一藍鰭吞拿 害孕婦生低B
有否想過自己為了數秒鐘的口腹之慾，而變成令人家種族滅絕的殺人兇手？我說的「殺人」，並不是真正殺人，而是捕殺瀕臨絕種的藍鰭吞拿魚！過度捕撈已令藍鰭吞拿魚逐漸步恐龍後塵，況且藍鰭吞拿魚既高脂又含水銀，吃了除易肥外，分分鐘更會中水銀毒！
記者：陳珮娟/ 攝影：陳珮娟
世界自然基金會40年數量減九成
根據世界自然基金會香港分會的環境保護主任（海洋）杜偉倫博士解釋， 藍鰭吞拿魚可分為3個不同品種：南方藍鰭吞拿魚（出沒於南半球海域）、北方藍鰭吞拿魚（大西洋與地中海）及太平洋藍鰭吞拿魚（印度太平洋），前兩者的成熟期長達8-14年，後者也要3-5年。由於牠們的生活特徵都是以群聚方式來進行繁殖及餵飼幼魚，於是大大提高集體墮網機會。據資料顯示，自1970年起，北方及南方藍鰭吞拿魚的數量分別已減少了九成及八成半，情況相當嚴重！故此這兩種吞拿魚已被列入世界自然保護聯盟（IUCN）紅色名錄，即「極度瀕危」物種內。「魚的數量不能像樹木般逐棵逐棵計，只能從捕獲量去估計其數目，以2007年為例，科學家建議削減大西洋藍鰭吞拿魚的捕捉量配額至15,000噸（15,000噸可保持現有數目、10,000噸的話更佳），但國際保育大西洋吞拿魚委員會（ICCAT，International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas）卻將捕捉額定在29,500噸，最後埋單，當年的捕捉額竟達60,000噸，遠遠超出限額，可見濫捕的情況非常嚴重！」
其他瀕危海鮮
除了藍鰭吞拿魚面臨絕種外，以下的海鮮，我們也應避免進食。
鯊魚 （全球）
九肚魚（南中國海）
牙帶 （南中國海）
牛鰍 （南中國海）
牛鯭 （南中國海）
老鼠斑 （東南亞）
西星斑 （東南亞）
杉斑 （東南亞）
東星斑 （東南亞）
金獅魚 （全球）
紅斑 （中國，養殖）
紅蟹 （南中國海）
海蝦 （南中國海）
馬蹄蟹 （南中國海）
雪花鱸魚 （全球）
劍魚 （全球）
墨魚 （南中國海）
鮑魚 （南非）
泥鮫 （南中國海）
瀨尿蝦 （南中國海）
蘇眉 （東南亞）
7年內入口激增13倍
對於有日本食肆連續4年高調地競投被稱為「日本一」的藍鰭吞拿魚，杜偉倫強烈譴責，因為這種宣傳伎倆，變相將藍鰭吞拿魚介紹給大眾。「根據香港政府統計處的數據顯示，本港近年入口藍鰭吞拿的數目，由2004年的9噸，激增至自2007年起平均每年的120噸。以前，藍鰭吞拿魚在香港無人問津，但自從該集團開始競投後，便令港人認識到這被日人推崇備至的食物，說其間接加速藍鰭吞拿魚的滅亡也不過份。」況且，杜偉倫亦深信，若藍鰭吞拿真的絕種，對海洋生態也有影響，「藍鰭吞拿在食物鏈中屬最高的掠食者層，若藍鰭吞拿絕種了，曾經是牠們的食物的魚類，數目便會激增，因而會引發別的問題。」
中毒四肢無力流口水
作為滅族兇手的人類，自然「有咁耐風流有咁耐折墮」，因為吞拿魚主要靠食小魚來維生，在大魚食細魚的情況下，水銀含量便如貴利收數般利叠利累積下來！當你享口腹之慾時，其實正在不斷把水銀食落肚！世衞建議人體每公斤體重每日不可攝取超過0.23ppm的水銀，孕婦及小孩進食魚類的水銀含量不可超過 0.2ppm（香港食物內水銀的最高准許濃度為 0.5ppm）。簡單計計，即是說一個重60kg的成年人，每日便不能吸收超過13.8ppm的水銀了。家庭醫生關嘉美亦指出，魚越大，就越毒。「若要環保，就不應食大魚啦！大魚或是年齡較大的魚，多年來在海洋中吸收了不少有害物質，食了有機會中水銀毒。水銀有3種，分別為金屬、有機及無機。在藍鰭吞拿魚身上的，屬有機水銀，此水銀能溶解在脂肪內，再被人體吸收，破壞中樞神經及腦部，影響肝、腎及其他器官功能。若中水銀毒，會令人有麻木的感覺，口齒不清、四肢無力、情緒低落、記憶力下降、容易受刺激。孕婦在懷孕時若然中水銀毒，嬰兒有機會出現低智商、言語有問題及過度活躍！至於若小朋友中水銀毒，除了中樞神經系統會受影響外，皮膚也會受影響，出現Pink Disease（粉紅病），患者會面紅、皮膚痕癢、出疹、手掌及腳掌甩皮、心跳加速、不停流口水及流汗、神經過敏等症狀。」
水銀毒引發疾病多
有機水銀積聚人體
水銀可以分為有機、無機及金屬3種。我們常見在溫度計、探熱針內的那種水銀，是金屬水銀，若不小心誤服，可以經由身體排出。但在藍鰭吞拿魚內的水銀，屬有機水銀，是經過吞拿魚的新陳代謝轉化而來，並積聚在魚體內，若人食了，水銀便會由魚類轉移至人體內。
據本報於早前自行調查，10克藍鰭吞拿魚水銀含量1.3ppm
4片拖羅＝2碗米粉
愛美女士追求食得健康，最重要是身形keep得fit，口中嚷着吃魚生，必不會肥！眾所周知，拖羅肥美豐腴，但糖衣背後卻是陷阱處處！浚健營養及健康顧問的資深營養師黃榮俊（John）解釋，原來每100克的藍鰭吞拿魚，便有4.9克脂肪，相等於1茶匙油份，吃2.5隻麻雀大小的藍鰭吞拿魚生，便等於吃下1 碗米粉熱量，聽落認真誇張！最重要的是，吃魚生的，都不會吃一兩片便罷休，追加再追加後，不論如何細食的美女們，七八碟落肚永無甩拖，以1碟4-5片計，7-8碟，即吃下14-16碗米粉，非常駭人！此外，關嘉美醫生亦指出，雖然藍鰭吞拿魚所含的脂肪Omega 3屬不錯的脂肪，但對心臟血管有毛病或膽固醇高人士，還是不吃為妙。
年輕一代保育意識強
杜偉倫指，游說食肆停止售賣藍鰭吞拿魚實在有難度，尤其是對日本餐廳而言，故此當一直有出售藍鰭吞拿魚的逸東「智」酒店內的Yagura日式居酒屋，答應停止出售這瀕危絕種的魚類時，對他們可說是個鼓舞。逸東「智」酒店助理傳訊經理馬凱珊表示，酒店一向在可行的情況下都會減少對環境進行破壞，所以當世界自然基金會香港分會提出邀請時，便立即答應將藍鰭吞拿剔出menu；加上酒店本身以年輕客人為主，大家的保育意識甚強，對於酒店此舉亦甚表支持，所以事半功倍！況且，沒有藍鰭吞拿魚並不代表沒啥好食，例如秋刀魚，一樣可以滿足消費者的需求。
藍鰭吞拿魚營養成份（每100克計）
熱量：144千卡
蛋白質：23.33克
總脂肪：4.9克

Go hawks!
Wow, a losing team is going to playoff, it was unbelievable..Pete Carroll is making waves after USC, nah!
Review for PM
Good holiday show, better than drinking alone. PM has set a high bar for their performance, unfortunately, they have raised expectation and in this case, they did not meet all of them. It is a good enjoyable show with nice mix of guest artists and classic PM's song. They seemed tired and the show seem a little "loose" rather than the polished performance that we are used to. At least it was fun.

Eight free days
Lan Su Chinese Garden
To kick off 2011 and a year full of events, Lan Su Chinese Garden will open Sunday, January 2, through Sunday, January 9, with no cost for admission (general admission is regularly $8.50). The garden shop expands into a garden pavilion to offer a dazzling display of Chinese New Year items in preparation for the beginning of the Year of the Rabbit on February 3.
Davis Street Tavern is the great sponsor!
The Number Eight in Chinese Culture
In China, the character for eight sounds similar to the character meaning ”prosper” or ”wealth.” In regional dialects, the characters for eight and ”fortune” are also similar. The number eight is viewed as so auspicious that being assigned a number with several eights is considered very lucky. The Beijing Olympics opened on 8/8/08; the United Airlines Flight from San Francisco to Beijing is flight 888; and many new buildings in China have 88 floors.
