greater responsibility comes from greater power. Speechless.

22 Apr , 2020 As a really a nobody of me, a regular joe, a layman, a common shipping clerk in a company of me, we have long known that whatever how hard work you are, you will not get compliments if you got bad results related your position. So common of me, I even can know that theory. That Teorous, has a Chinese name 譚德塞 , do really bad job, the people who make things politics first, dare to accuse others make things politics 政治, what if those deceased victims are his family, sorry as I am saying that full with my fume 無煙 and sorry all personnel putting aside. Back to common sense, world health related to his job, He is the head of world health organization. As a company, the representative had a bad performance absolutely, as a company , the result is bad, so very simple, no doubt and no excuse. Furthermore, now that many life , reiterate , is life, gone, many families suffered, a lot. people lost jobs, no money, mental health getting worse, students suffered no school no chance to learn more, other saving and retire money ( evaporated milk 淡奶 )evaporate 蒸發(condensed milk 煉奶 ).In Hong Kong , many restaurants and shops bankrupt, many people’s life diligence disappears in the thin air . Those beard winners in those shops and restaurants unemployed worrying how to fed their fledgling 初長羽毛的 kids. So why such 痰 Teorous can escape the blame. That’s is not funny, can we accuse his manslaughter 誤殺 過失殺人, just like Spider-Man said greater responsibility comes from greater power. Speechless.

clinging to hope and miracle

After watching ” Your Name” , my androgen 雄激素 boost a lot and really want to cling on to hope and miracle to find something my love. I talk to myself .
Thanks Him he has already given us the miracle. Although no more
miracle on the earth, there is a grand finale of the miracle – Rapture.
Today what I am trying to talk to myself is : Clinging to the Hope and Miracle.

From the beginning, because of the song ” Nandemo Naiya ” mean” It’s nothing” which is soundtrack 插曲 of movie ” Your Name” song by None Kamishiraishi.
Then I watched her performance 表演 from youtube knowing that
it is the girl version of this song. The original version is male version song by Radwimp. But this girl version song by None Kamishiraishi is great too, None Kamishiraishi’s live performance
is awesome. attracted me.
So I immeditately check itune store the movie whether is expensive or not. It is just a penny. Brought it. Especially I love Japan culture
so much. It is worth. The technique 技術 of animation is awesome.
After watched , with brought back my tear although I am not susceptible 易受感動的, not because of sadness , is because happiness, compaitable feel like the heart response saying :
“Yes, I am searching something…:, profoundly ….. clinging to hope and miracle……..
Feeling like we wake up from incubator of Matix or oblivious 渾然不覺 from dream or the passed life like Tom Cruise is everyone of us facing the same problems daily.
All of us are looking for something, but aging is nibbling us.
For me, the problems are even worse 差 . And many people like me that is hard to distinguish 區分 between reality and the dream.
Especially, after my divorce 離婚,my deja vu 似曾相識 is getting serious.
So should we cling to hope and miracle? Yes, I should cling to hope and miracle. I talk to myself.

I attached with the story me. I can’t help to buy the text book from Kindle book store right away.
Reading , obessed, don’t recognize 認識 time passed very fast…..

It is profound 深深. So I still very love Japanese culture, how come they can create such obsessing 沉迷 story and animation.
They don’t think it is cliche 陳詞濫調, don’t think it is naive 幼稚的, they just invest it and make a great movie.

(While writing this articale , is the period of Hongkongers are totally suffering loosing their hope. On last Sunday night, two days before, on 14 Jul 19 the clash between police and the protester has made around 20 people hospitalized included police and
protester. even one police’s pink was bitten off)

It’s been a while

Met my old friends today 2019 Jul 12. All change to uncle from teenage. One I first met him was just 15 years old. Another is two kids father now. Hongkongers have their different paths . Good luck buddies from my heart.

Now the senile 老態龍鍾的 old recluse 隱士 hang out with friends until midnight, which the senile geriatric 老人家 used to do that but no more dancing all night. Since one the musician friend is back from Spain, so I bended the rule once. We watched Spidermen Far Form Home that is much more better than the prequel 前傳 Homecoming

Before the flick 电影, we chewed the fact and try hard to avoid , but go around those politics issue, This recent monthly the extradition law saga dominate the news headline. The musician kept showing off his kids having natural learning happy environment. Another one said no more confidence with HK future so going to London. Poor me have to stay here but no choice.
