About Me. Whatever
About You. Whatever
About Uni. I went today
Yes, been to school today, and most probably I'll be going for the next few days...eerhh I mean the next few remaining months of the season too. There's a limit in how much you can ditch school.
Seriously...I don't think anyone can imagine how much I've skipped.
But hey, it's never too late and besides I won't be the first one to have arrears.
About Sports. Good
LEONARDO!! Do I need to say more? Last Thursday we all knew that at one time Leonardo shall be brought in the game. Everyone just knew it. It was 0-1, and something had to be done. When there was a call for a substitute I just knew it was time for the 'secret weapon'. Most probably Sulejmani would be the one to go out I thought, since he hasn't been doing anything great since he came to Ajax. But to my suprise, Lindgren was the one to go. I guess Van Basten wanted to take risks, and put everything on the attack.
The first moment Leonardo got the ball the whole, and I mean the WHOLE crowd was screaming. Look Leonardo is not Ronaldinho, he's not a star. He got speed and movements. But that's about it. Still, everyone had hope in him to do something. Since he was the one who brought some action to the last few games of Ajax.
The excitement of the crowd didn't last long, cause when the game was about to end, they saw that there was a big chance that they weren't going home for another 30 minutes.
Untill...
the ball was on the foot of Leonardo on the left side, 4x Scisscor moves, passing 3 Italians, trying to pass the ball with the outside of his left foot (Or was he using the player to bounce back the ball?) passing through the other italian on his right, came free for the goal, swing his 'chocolate leg' (as he call it) and Boom! 1-1 at 88'minutes. I was screaming in my living room!!
Leonardo, I don't think he can play a whole match, he is the sort that should be sub in the last 20 minutes. I think we will see this a few more times in the Eufa Cup matches this season untill he leave Ajax next year for Panathinaikos.
Next match: Olympique Marseille.
History: Ajax never losed from them before...
About Music. 6 Strings to 4 Strings
Well I guess Bass is cool too huh? Dumm Dumm, Dummm Dum Dum Duuum. =P
By the way,
Listening to One more time, One more chance by Yamazaki Masayoshi
About Film. Makoto Shinkai
Makoto Shinkai, called the new Miyazak!? Well saw one of his works last Saturday, and the animation and art was just beautifull man. The scenerary was supremely wonderfull.
I watched Byousoko 5 Centimeters (5 Centimeters per second). They used the song I posted up here as ending. It was free to watch on Crunchyroll on the Global Shinkai day on 28 Feb along with 2 of his other animation films. Didn't had the time to watch them all though.
it's About the end of this post. Bye.

Nothing Ever Gets Done, Not Even If You're Twenty One
As much as I wanted to write this on my 21st birthday on 29 January, I'm writing it right now.
Reason: My PC is acting crazy again. Sometimes it needs to restart a few times to actually work.
Nothing Ever Gets Done, Not Even If You're Twenty One
Having lived for more then 2 decades on this earth, you do expect one to have learned enough to be what they would call a "grown-up". Or that's what they say, 21 means 'official grown-up'. What about 18? That's just a big lie to ease the teenagerkids. No, 21 is the real deal.
So a big celebration for this 'birthday of birthdays' wouldn't be misplaced eh?
Well I guess it would be cool, but as of now I'm not feeling to celebrate it. Birthdays were always a special day for me, for anyone I guess. I remembered when I was little I always got excited and all hyped up for this day at the end of January. Excited for the next day to treat all your classmates at primary school on chips and to 'make the round' in school to the different classes to treat the teachers with delicious' chocolats.
And then, after school, it was party time! Invite all your friends to your house, eat birthday cake, play games, watch TV, eat some more chips, drink soda, kick balloons, sing Happy Birthday, take pictures, go to McDonalds, recieve gifts. Yeah, those were some fun times when you're young. Although ofcourse, people are still doing this no matter what age. But for me as time passed on, I did less and less with my birthday. I still had given parties in high school, but that stopped when I was 15. A birthday cake with candles on it is still a must, but inviting people and all that, no, didn't did that anymore. It's not a bad thing though as you may think. It's just the way it is. Didn't had the need.
So times goes on, and last thursday my 21st birthday: It was as if it was just like any other day!
Just did the usual. Went to Japanese Course like every thursday, but(!!) I did bring along sushi my aunt made to treat everyone. So yeah, I think I did do something with it though. Oh and ofcourse, I had the birthday cake with candle earlier that day. And some photos ofcourse!! That's a must too, for memories-purposes.

To Be Or Not To Be
"So 21 huh? I guess I should act like a grown-up now?
But wouldn't it be better to just act like myself...?"
-"Act? Why not 'be' yourself?"
"It's hard to 'be'..."
-"Well you are or you are not. It's that simple."
"I guess I am...No I know I am."
-"Then just be it!!"
"But even if I am, not anybody will know"
-"If you just are who you are and 'let it be' then it will be."
---
So many new years resolutions and I haven't even accomplished them yet! And already one month has passed. Oh well, I guess we start tomorrow again. Cause I'm going back to school again (again! and again!)
How many times have I gone "back to school" again.
Nothing Ever Gets Done, Not Even If You're Twenty One
Many many things to do in the upcoming time: University (getting used to it again will take some time.)
Reading books, JPN classes, work, basketball, guitar again, music, film, writing on here, planning for Japan'09, more reading, college, college, more college, almost forgot chinese school, eating, drinking, sleeping, waking up early, sleeping early, gaming!, talking, walking, running, striving.
and anything else I forgot to say.
There's definitaly a spirit of "Whatever" on here.
Nothing Ever Gets Done, Not Even If You're Twenty One...
Whatever, As long as you have fun, and you're not on the run, then everything will be done, my son.
Or whatever you want to believe.
Be True A Heart.
Peace.

"Yes We Can" A Bettter World Starts With You
A few lines of Obama's speech at his inauguration.
"On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics."
" ...the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness."
"But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions -- that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again ..."
"... what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage."
"... We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; ... -we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself..."
"... just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages. We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment -- a moment that will define a generation -- it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all."
"Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends -- hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism -- these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility -- ... , firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task."
"So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. ..."
The full transcript of the speech can be found at the link above or here
I've taken out some lines inbetween the quoted text to let it sound more universal to everyone. Not just for the american people. But the main idea remains the same.
One might not be interested in world matters, it doesn't concern them, it doesn't affect their personal lifes, so why bother. But it's only natural to believe that you are part of the world. You don't have to change the world, but you could change yourself for the better. And if everyone does...the world as a whole would be a better place to live in, eh?

Late For The Sky
The words had all been spoken
And somehow the feeling still wasnt right
And still we continued on through the night
Tracing our steps from the beginning
Until they vanished into the air
Trying to understand how our lives has led us there
(...)
How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been drifting alone through the night
How long have I been dreaming I could make it right
(...)
How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been drifting alone through the night
(...)
Through the whispered promises and the changing light
(...)
(Lines taken from "Late For The Sky" by Jackson Browne)
Although the lyrics might be about love, It can also be interpreted in an other way (like many songs, the different lines can apply to everyones own situation) And so it is with this song for me at the moment.
It's funny sometimes how things can be really ironic in life. Is there such thing as fate? If I had done some things differently, maybe the turnout would be different. You know they say that everything you do in life would affect the other.
It's like every moment in life you got to choose which path to take, there's many many paths.
And if you have taken one path , it means you haven't choose all those other paths. But I don't want to repeat the same old story again about to learn from your mistakes and all that other "so-called-life-lessons-said-many-times-by-everyone" chit-chat.
You can talk a lot, but in the end, it's yourself who have done the things you did.
And all that matters is now.

The Start Of Fall / The Beginning Of Autumn
Today is the first day of Autumn. Autumn, also called "Fall" in North American English, is the season of rain, falling of leaves and more rain. It's dull, grey, gloomy, sad, dreary, drab. (These words I basically searched up in the dictionary.) But you get the point. It isn't exactly a cheerfull season. And for most people autumn also marks the beginning of a new season. Be it school;work;sport; in September everyone starts with something somehow. We've got the happy and warm summer behind us, where we all played,chilled and relaxed, and now it's time to start up again. Although the weather isn't exactly encouraging to say the least.
So why is it called "Fall" in Nothern American English? The fall of leaves? Or is it because of:"Fall, the sudden arrival of birds due to drift migration" (wikipedia). That wouldn't make sense though, since the birds would fly to the south, for a warmer climate, so birds are actually departing from North America rather than arriving.So why is it called "Fall" then? I don't know. But it sure fits to the depressive weather of Autumn. To fall...
So for everyone, Fall starts today, but I don't hope we all starts to fall from now on. It's a new season, a new begin and a new start, so let's all work hard for school, work, sport, music, hobby or whatever you want to do. Don't let the weather graps you. Everything has it's beauty. When all the yellow brown and old leaves falls from the trees, it only means that the old is making a place for the new. And so it is for the things we do, the hard-work we do today, is also a stepping stone for the succes of tomorrow.

Dutch Holidays / Koninginnedag 2008
Koninginnedag 2008
So today was Koninginnedag aka in english Queensday. It's a yearly event on 30 April in which the birthday of her majesty, our queen,is celeberated.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So today was Koninginnedag aka in english Queensday. It's a yearly event on 30 April in which the birthday of her majesty, our queen,is celeberated.It's a big national event where a lot of people wearing orange go on the streets to celeberate. Why orange? Because that's the color of The Netherlands as you might or might not know.
But celeberating isn't the only thing, there's also the "Free Market": Everyone is allowed to sell things on the streets. So if you have some old stuff at home you wanna get rid of, you can put a blancket on the ground, stash your stuff on it, get a little chair to sit comfortable on, and you can start selling! A lot of kids will sell their old toys, and some will give a little performance just to earn some money, be it playing the guitar, the violin, some magic tricks, anything is possible. You don't have to sell old stuff only, some people buy new stuff, just to sell it at queensday. Ofcourse trying to earn some on it. But the most important is to have fun on queensday.

This Years weather wasn't too good. Rain was predicted, but despite that, it stayed sunny, with some clouds from time to time. Temperature around 15C. With that, it wasn't that crowded on the streets compared to other years. As usual I went out too. Most people come to Amsterdam, cause that's the "place to be" at queensday.
So if you ever thought of visiting Amsterdam, it might be fun to visit it around this yearly event. =P

Hong Kong Visions @ Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ
04.04.08 - 17.04.08
Photo Exhibition
Okay, it's not really relevent to post this information, since this exhibition is already over. But nevertheless, just some little talk on it.
I went to this Hong Kong Visions Photo Exhibition on 17 April. It showed photos of Hong Kong ranging from photos of recent years to photos dating from the 60's. So I went and watched it, didn't expect a lot of it. The photo's were taken by famous? photographers, including Dutch ones. Most of the photos were "nothing special", like I could have taken them too...Ofcourse I wouldn't have taken them in a proffesional way like they do, the right lighting and stuff like that, but the content of it wasn't that spectacular. However, something else was spectacular, the price. 950 Euros for one photo. Honestly I don't think anyone would buy it. I think the exhibition is nice to check out (it's free). To see Hong Kong if you haven't been there, but noone would actually buy these "artworks". Ofcourse there were some photos which I liked, with beautiful composition and angle, but still kinda too expensive. Some big ones were even over 1100 Euros.Anyway, maybe there are some people who will buy it, who knows.
Asia sure is booming these days...

Snow in March'
Snow in March, it has became a common thing over here.
Or at least, for me it has.
2 March 2005, it snowed. If I remembered correctly, on some places there was even 50cm of snow. Now that's not something usual for The Netherlands.
When I decided to talk a walk around my street to make some footage of the beautifull scenery with my camera, I found my feets disolving into the thick pack of snow.
2 March 2006, exactly one year later, it snowed again. Can you believe that? But this time not as much as in '05. I decided to record this strange yet beautifull phenomenon with my camera again.
March 2007, I can't really remember if it snowed. I don't think it has though. To be honest, 2007 was kind of a blurry year for me. But looking back at my camera tapes, I didn't filmed any snow in March'07.
March 2008, yesterday and the day before yesterday and the day before the day of yesterday it snowed. A white Easter.
So snow in March has became a common thing for me.
Why is it snowing in March? Or, why has it been snowing frequently in March these past few years? Some say climate change.
And why is the climate changing? Some say it's us, the people whose causing it. Some say it's just the nature. Some say it's both.
During highschool, I wrote a 20-page paper about Climate Change. And from the information I gathered, I think that it is both. But one way or the another, I don't think you can deny the fact that the world is being polluted
So in the end it doesn't really matter what the cause is. Fact is, the world is being polluted by humans. So it doesn't hurt to "pollute less".
I'm glad this whole 'climate change - save the world'-thing has become a hype. Most of the time you shouldn't believe the hype. But this time the hype is true.
Or at least, for me it has.

Roots
Welcome to the Generation
Standing at the Roots
Let's go back to the back.
Back to the Roots.
The origin, how things started.
How we used to be.
Where we stand for.
What we dreamed of.
When we were young.
Why we were born for.
