朋友

電視劇《女人俱樂部》進入結局篇,口碑愈來愈好,尤其上周五鄭丹瑞飾演的國樑因車禍死去後,譚詠麟透過收音機鼓勵各人一幕,惹起不少人的共鳴與眼淚。 Alan說:「友誼是愈耐愈醇,幾十年的朋友可以在一起,不可能只靠緣份,中間一定會發生過大大小小的事,有開心,有不開心。性格不同,躲避不了,也會有爭執以及摩擦,生氣起來,或者會想過絕交。但是朋友是可以包容的,那種互相信任,是可以令你相信,無論你成功、失敗或者做錯事,朋友依然會在你身邊支持及鼓勵。堅持到底,感情是會昇華的,朋友和親人已經沒有分別。」 每個人都需要朋友。朋友是互相影響、互相補足、互相依賴;朋友是當別人說你壞話時,挺身而出維護你的人;朋友是無論陰晴月缺、低潮高潮,仍在你身邊支持;朋友是能與你躺在草地上,讓你坦白說出心裏所想,也不會嘲笑你;朋友是「救心圈」,聽你嘮嘮叨叨,讓你心頭的鬱結一掃而空;朋友是經歷歲月的培養,經得起考驗,經得起距離;朋友是在愛情來了又走、走了又來,當你以為世界沒有永恒不變的承諾時,仍然站在原地守護你;朋友是解開心中的孤單、促膝傾通宵都不夠、與你一生一起走的人;朋友是當你以為「人大咗就無朋友」時,告訴你「人大咗先知邊個係真正朋友」。 當我們年紀愈大,許多價值觀不斷被顛覆後,愈會發現,真正的友誼依然是長久的、不輕易腐朽的,已不是「朋友」二字所能涵蓋!

Good story,Milo.

MILO: Just like I think. Just like I think, um, if we had saw a mother at the airport, duck, then we would and watch out and ride on the airplane, monster will come with us and we’ll both roar. SO, that’s the problem. Duck, I have a new song. I have a new song, so Duck…that’s song… I have, I have a new song, Duck. DUCK: What’s the new song, Milo? MILO: I try to find the new song. It’s about windows. About monsters and windows and dinosaurs and pumpkins and ducks. DUCK: I would love to hear this song. MILO: And, and about books also. One day. You. One day the monster came to the windows and ate up the windows. Then a head came in and bumped the monster. THEN a light came to knock the head down. THEN a handle came to knock the light down, to, knock the light down. THEN tree came and something knocked down the tree. THEN house came and nothing knocked down the house. THEN. Duck. What happened, duck? Some people came to help up those. So, what happened duck? DUCK: What happened, Milo? MILO: Some people came…I pass the rainbow. Same people came to check the rainbow. Firemen and women. And, and pillows to pick up the rainbow. THEN. The phone came, the phone came. Then trapeze came and pinano (piano) came to play mosquito. Mosquito. A pinano mosquito. So.

Learning Cantonese pop

Andrew Bird- new album

RIP, Maya Angelou

With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? Just 'cause I walk as if I have oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like suns and like moons, With the certainty of tides, Just like hope springing high, Still I rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my sassiness upset you? Don't take it so hard Just 'cause I laugh as if I have gold mines Diggin' in my own backyard. You can shoot me with your words, You can cut me with your lies, You can kill me with your hatefulness, But just like life, I'll rise. Does my sexiness offend you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance as if I have diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past rooted in pain I rise A black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling, I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak miraculously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the hope and the dream of the slave. And so, naturally, There I go rising.
