Time Tested Beauty Tips

-a poem by Sam Levinson-
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

叔本华眼里的人生

叔本华说，人生像在痛苦和无聊之间摇晃的钟摆。这句话让我的脑袋爆炸，有很奇妙很奇妙的感觉。因为我以前也曾经这么写道。被别人肯定自己的想法，尤其还是那么相似的观念，怎么能不让人欣喜若狂。此话意思即为，我们有欲望，因此我们痛苦;但我们无欲，却又无聊。人生的意义就是在于制造痛苦和追求痛苦，这是叔本华本人的悲观主义。乐天的人看了会不屑一顾，也有人觉得这些思想毫无用处，该咋办就咋办，没必要想些多余的。 嗯，世界上有形形色色的人，不是每个人都有兴趣用最纯粹的目光去探索人生本质。不探讨也不代表你怎么样。 生存意志越强，痛苦越大。叔本华如此认为。这样一来人生多无趣啊。不过，周国平认为在那时欧洲盛行科学乐观主义和基督教乐观主义的时候，悲观主义的存在是有其必要的。有正面必存在反面，而悲观主义在那段时期，大概像是个不引人注目的气囊(等待意外发生时的爆开防护)，等待一个时代的信念动摇瓦解后，好给予人们新的精神面貌。通常伟大的学说都是产生于时代交接的时间点。 ||痛苦充盈人生，这是必然的。作为思考者，明显是承受加倍的痛苦。于是我们需要艺术，排遣苦闷，但在过程中却渐渐变成仰赖痛苦以豢养艺术。 唔，复杂的，无力改变的事实。

Gentleman

Psy released his new single, but the song is not meaningful compared to his last hit...
Okay, so there's one more hot topic for earthlings to discuss about.
I actually like the lift prank in the mv, sorry to say. It's evil to throw people into hot water, but I guess everyone has a little devil in his or her heart ... Yoo jae suk has the funny look and psy's naughty(menacing?) smile actually trickles people.
The image of psy is funny, pathetic, trying to be cool. The branding of a star is successful, and I think there's a flow of creativity in the production team. If we ignore the comments about social responsibility and moral issues, we can derive a lot from korea's entertainment world. It's not easy to build an image and ensure the continuity of it, but I could relate gentleman to gangam style.
The entertainment sector of Korea is a mass production factory. I feel that everyone contributes to the greater good of development, no matter willing or not. It's like upholding a family's reputation, and the close cooperation among stars are one of the key factors of success.

Now, back to moral issues. Hmm, I know Korean society is traditional and they practice the Confucian doctrine. So it's amusing to see the difference between reality and...fantasy?
From the aspect of stage performance, I respect them a lot. But you don't call that music. It's merely performance. Entertaining but not long lasting, so you won't feel any excitement or refreshment if you review super junior's 'sorry,sorry' now.
Most of the lyrics, they don't make sense. They're just selling the mood, the coolness and the chic feeling. Frequently used words in lyrics: love, tears, call me, break up... Etc. of course there are excellent performers too. Like big bang, shinee, sistar... Some of the vocals are very, very amazing.
In order to be famous, you have to get the support of the company. If they want, they could invest a lot in advertising you. In short, they want you to be famous, then you will be. CN blue was initially based in japan coz they couldn't get attention in Korean entertainment world. The mainstream was (is) pop music but what they did is rock music. The members put on live performance, and wrote their own songs. The only way to become 2013's favorite boy band is by compromising. I really despise their new song this year. It's heavily commercialized.
Are people guided by their own taste,or solely by the mainstream ?

Psy sells lust and rebel too. Some of the scenes are too daring and bold. I can't imagine that the girl did the lamppost dance. It's... Sigh.
Couldn't comment any further.

泛滥的历史剧

2011年人在西安，后宫甄x传的小说刚盛行，中央的影视审查方面也同时表明要严谨把关，避免过多穿越和架空的历史小说上电视。

对不起，甄x传＜纯属我在词频里找不到那个字。

那时步步惊心风靡所有少女情怀观众，我却只是在今天才看了它几眼。彻底奥特了~

我有一些话和一些问题，不得不写出来~

知道身边有好多步步惊心fans，潜伏的可能更是多不胜数，

所以如果你自认很爱步步惊心，无法容忍异见，那我恳请你千万不要读线线下面的东东喔~~

------------------我是分割线--------------------

首先，若曦这个名字，就让我少了一点兴致，因为很琼瑶。

剧情更是现代版琼瑶剧，虽然人物方面尽可能贴近清朝史实，但许多的bug让人不是滋味。

我必须弄清楚马尔泰若曦这个虚构人物在宫廷里的角色。在康熙身边当宫女，却没有被临幸或被纳为嫔妃，就像是动作片英雄挡过枪林弹雨，无意外的活到最后。我不相信康熙是柳下惠。

好吧，即使康熙真是柳下惠，封建时代也是不容许男女过度亲近，所以和那些皇子间的暧昧是绝对不可能上演。宫女，无论多么受宠，也不能私自外出乱走-或许不必24\7服侍，但也不可能象若曦那样闲，好像是下班后就可以到处乱晃。（即使是在正常上班时间都在外面风花雪月！这等好差事？）

历史上的马尔泰是将军，我也不太明白，武将家族的千金为何会先以宫女身份入宫。有势家族的女儿，尤其若曦的姐姐又是八爷的侧室，若曦当年到底是在什么情况下入宫（听说刚开始是在八王府生活的。。。）？家道中落了？据说若曦和十四爷从小就吵嘴，根据小说资料，穿越时若曦不过才16、17岁，那请问她是几岁入宫？13岁？我不清楚若曦是几岁开始被选为康熙的侍女，或许康熙是萝莉党也不一定吧。
我还想弱弱问一句，不是只有太子才能住在紫禁城里么？这点不太清楚。

历史剧嘛都是在横店拍摄，我稍嫌排场不够大~我就不信清宫的后院勾心斗角那么简单，要知道，真正的宫女，小命是随主子的心情决定的。像若曦那样嚣张的女人（而且只是个宫女！），在外面flirt就已经足够惹得妒妇们心生杀意，她姐姐与世无争肯定保护不了她，不说皇子们多么喜欢她-杀人也可以暗杀，再如何受宠难保不被崩掉。
很多人纳闷，若曦为何安然在宫里住下，根本没有想过要如何回去现代？（她可以尝试撞墙或触电的其实）这个穿越的部分是sci fi，不需要去探讨啦。
如果深知各个皇子的命运无法改变，四爷胤禛最终仍会夺得皇位，那她又何苦尝试改变历史，劝自己喜欢的八爷不要去夺权？（因为结局是四爷上位，八爷失意后被幽禁死亡）在她决定要改变这一点历史的时候，她就已经违背自己最初的相信。她以为劝阻八爷可以保护八爷的性命，可是历史上记载八爷终将一死，那她是相信清朝历史可改变，还是相信清朝历史不可改变？
听说若曦是水瓶座代表人物，从性格上看来是挺符合的，不过我不喜欢若曦，水瓶座的人不想被代表。因为我觉得这厮很混乱，明明喜欢八爷，为什么最后跟的是四爷？这种不忠实在无法接受。在纠结着要不要嫁八爷的时候，还跟四爷在湖上莲中互生情愫。水瓶座的女生只是有性别认知障碍，并不是这么喜欢flirt的！黑我们啊。。。。
陶杰批评的粗制滥造历史剧，我知道是在指什么了。
尽管不喜欢若曦这人物，但刘诗诗真的很漂亮。
