Power of Imagination


When being guided to meditate, I am always asked to imagine myself in a comfortable zone, like feeling the sun warming up my body, or being a scenic beach enjoying a view. When I hike today, I'm hoping to take a picture of the blue sky that aids my meditation exercises. The weather truly gets better today, but not to the extent of the blue sky that I'm looking for. I will bear it in mind and hope to get the ideal picture for thoughts and meditation.

Dynamic Change of Media Landscape

Newspapers and magazines do not operate the same way as it used to be. Editorial content was considered to be a very important asset for attracting advertising. Some years ago, I saw some chief editors call corporations and PR consultants for advertising, taking up some of the roles of an account manager. In recent years, more newspapers and magazines judge on whether corporations place ads on their publications before placing any stories on them. An English newspaper here used to run editorial video stories but a recent layoff dramatically cut the resources and made its online team to do "sponsored video interviews" only. That makes the team very commercial and almost gives up their reporting work. Even I'm one of their sponsors, I feel sad. But things have never been the same. Should you quit or stay? I guess that the team might not be there some months later. On the contrary, more Chinese newspapers have been adding video news stories, 100% editorial content. Can they...

Jane Austen

Though " Becoming Jane " didn't receive good review, I went to see this movie anyway to learn more about Jane Austen. Somehow, transforming the love story of a famous writer could be a hook for many fiction fans. I've been into love with "Pride & Prejudice" and "Elizabeth Darcy" in her novel. She's wit, brave, intelligent, elegant and fearless. Obviously Jane Austen based on her first love to write the First Impression, later it's called Pride & Prejudice. Elizabeth and Jane as in P&P are exactly the copy cats of herself and her sister. The sisters were very close to each other. Balls were the fashion of the time and the good spots to socialize. They were not afraid to show their emotion and love to pursue men. Finding husbands were essential. Being calculative on how much income one receives was important at the time. It's not quite understandable till I saw these two movies and read more about the historical background of ...

Ups & downs in a week

I thought it's my luck to see the batman flight flying above the harbour yesterday. It's a plane white airplane which you couldn't spot it's the one if you're not told. I saw it twice, it flew lower the second time when I was riding on a boat. Seeing a plane flying that low in an area full of tall buildings was amazing. Today I received a sad phone call from my brother about my mom. She broke her elbow and wrist that needs surgery. Luckily it happened my friend work in the orthopaedic ward in that hospital and updated me how she's doing. I was a bit scared and uneasy hearing the news and tried to control my emotion. I never thought I would have been so worried about my mom. But after all, she's my mom. It came to a time my parents get older and I have to prepare myself to hear any bad news. It's hard but I know I need to be more prepared. That's all. Hope for the best.
