懷舊一番: 八十年代的電影 (上)

小女生長在八十年代的香港,對於當時的流行文化,流行曲,電影,穿著打扮等,都有很深刻的回憶。總是覺得現在的港片沒以前的好看、好聽的廣東歌也不多。

小時候很喜歡看電影。家裡客廳常堆滿了老爸從公司帶回來的VCR(要知道那時還沒有Laser Disc)。每天有空就坐在電視前,看到精彩的部份還會一直Rewind。有幾部電影不得不在這裡跟大家緬懷一下:

1.英雄本色 (A Better Tomorrow) 1986
雖然張國榮普遍被認為是最“靚仔“,但我卻對周潤發情有獨鍾。他演的Mark哥真的“有型有款“,尤其是他穿上黑色大衣那一招,我在家裡會拿媽媽的外套一邊看一邊練習。現在想起來也覺得很好笑。





2.秋天的童話 (An Autumn's Tale) 1987
“船頭尺”與“茶煲”的經典愛情故事。那時候完全看不懂;只記得鍾楚紅很美,周潤發卻土裡土氣的。到電影最後一幕,也不懂為什麼周潤發要問:「Table for two?」我心裡在想:「為什麼不衝過去抱她呢?」很希望可以重看一遍,看看當時的紐約是什麼樣子。





3.警察故事 (A Police Story) 1985
成龍大部份電影的劇情來來去去都是差不多,可是《警察故事》讓我印象最深刻。記得其中一幕他用一把黃色雨傘爬上一輛高速行走的雙層巴士和匪徒埋身肉搏,還有就是最後在百貨公司商場的頂樓一躍而下、把無數的電燈泡一同拉下去...真的是看到傻眼。成龍電影的特色是在片末會有拍攝紀錄,例如NG片段、演員受傷的畫面..老爸常說拍電影看起來很好玩,卻是非常辛苦的。Hmm...拍電影不容易呢~



下期電影預告:《疆屍先生》《霸王花》《阿郎的故事》《賭神》《倩女幽魂》

All About Yoga!

Recently EuEu has started going to Bikram yoga and she told me that it was an amazing experience. I thought...Doing yoga in a 105F room?? Amazing??? So last night I decided to join EuEu to experience my very 1st Bikram yoga class.

(I practiced yoga when I was in college. At that time I was addicted to it. I went to the studio at least 4 times a week. After each practice I always felt my body stronger and my mind more focused. However, one time I was doing a posture incorrectly and my lower back was injured. Since then, I have switched to swimming, but yoga has remained one of my favorites.)

The class started at 8pm. When we entered the studio, the room was extremely warm, smelly and stuffy (people from previous class just left). But the heat in the room helped loosen up my muscles and joints, and my body felt relaxed. The instructor went over 26 postures in 90 minutes. I started sweating in the first 5 minutes, but there were times when I felt light-headed and had to sit down. My all-time favorite pose is Savasana (the lying down, restorative pose) :P Overall the experience was good, and I felt energetic after the practice.

Already signed up for 1-week unlimited for 1st time students. Will be back for more "yoga-talk" :)

中秋節 ﹣“食”月餅

一年一度的中秋節快到了,好想吃月餅!現在長大了,很懷念小時候提著紙燈籠去跟鄰居的小朋友「煲蠟」(說放火比較合適吧:P)

有人知道在紐約有賣冰淇淋的月餅嗎?

35歲前要做的33件事

去年花蓮慈濟營隊的時後買的。一年了,還是停留在第6件事。到底什麼時候才會把它看完?時間好像過得越來越快,離3字頭也不遠了,是不是該整理一下人生的目標清單呢?

很喜歡陶喆“二十二”,每次聽了都心有戚戚焉。它說:

「人生偶爾會走上一條陌路 像是沒有指標的地圖
別讓他們說你該知足 只有你知道什麼是你的幸福
他常會嚮往能回到那年他一十二 只需要好好上學生活單純沒憂愁
他笑著想過未來 他應該得到幸福 如此的簡單的夢
有沒有實現」

為自己的幸福打拼吧!
