A picture says a thousand words. Woolong, the most important research base for giant pandas, is badly hit during the earthquake. Five staff members died. Landslides and mudsides destroyed several panda houses. Two panas were still missing.
Today I saw the pictures of two baby pandas, each of one year and eight months old, cuddled together [...]

I never considered Robert Downey Jr. a handsome actor. But I always consider him one of the most talented actors in this country. He always brought up his character to a level that exceeds the scope of the movie itself, and most of time, the expectations of the general audience. When I first got familiar [...]

Yesterday I watched “Buffy” (the third season) again. I admit this is really a nice show: the dialogs are witty and the characters are complex. “Attitude gets attention. Courtesy wins respect.” This is the comment that I liked the best.

Today the DVD “To Catch a King” arrived. This is a 1984 adaptation of Jack Higgins’s novel. I have been trying to find this copy for a while and cannot wait to watch it. But I have to admit what it delivers is nothing beyond a disappointment.
When I studied the reviews and comments, I was [...]

It is extremely rare that the city of Kaifeng, the glamorous capital of the Song dynasty, has ever caught the attention from outsiders.

My daily calendar has a picture of tropical fish. So I scanned it, cropped it and posted it. This picture makes me missing these days spent at Hawaii with Nick. Especially the snorkeling fun we had together at Hanauma Bay. Although getting there by bus in the morning was quite an experience (we ended up [...]

I previously watch the Rockets’ games because of Yao Ming. I still like him, but I also like a lot Shane Battier. He seems to me a quiet type, but he always gets this key moment of a game, and he can grab it and turn the game around. He may not appear to be [...]

One of the notes written last year. Re-post here.
