When the lady w…

When the lady with the swish coat and the expensive shoes doesn’t give the beggar a pound on the street, it’s because she’s giving ten to a charity and sure, that’s the greater good. Sure, of course it is. It’s giving more, probably to be used better. But it isn’t compassion. To look away from someone in pain because you know that your e-account is paying monthly contributions to the ‘greater good’; to walk on by while all those people suffer and die because you’ve got a cause and a big sense of perspective… says something about the soul.

A Madness of Angels by Kate Griffin

Trapped inside my own body

My biological clock is all messed up.

For around a year or two I’ve been constantly trying to fix it. I often have long periods of time when my sleeping cycle makes no sense at all. Usually the reason is that I have projects I need to rush, or I was so into my work, I got some kind of tunnel vision and nothing else matter anymore. Or it’s just that I had so many tedious errands during daytime so I felt like I wasted my day. I just cannot sleep at night, then crash at dawn.

I’ve been trying many things to get rid of my insomnia, and recently I have turned to a desperation solution : sleeping pills.

Yay! I’m nominated

I was at my friend’s place to watch the Euro Cup Final, even our drinking game based on players kick the ball out of court couldn’t save it from being so damn BORING !!!! During the match my cellphone gave me a notification of an email, one of my favorite writers on WordPress  had nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award. So to show my appreciation there are a few things I need to do now that I’m home :

1. Nominate and link to 10 other bloggers :

Max Payne 3 , disgustingly beautiful

I played the first two games right when they came out, which mean I was too young and my English was too inadequate to completely appreciated their story. I spent a lot of times shooting through the first one without using bullet time and if MP2 has the achievement for killing every enemy with a single headshot I would already have it. But I remember very vaguely about the V drug and …err… what not of their story.
So the third one came out recently and blaming childhood reminiscent, I cannot be more excited.

Stealing Beauty and what someone want to do with that person’s life

I watched Stealing Beauty for the first time when I was very young, maybe five years ago. The person that I am changes drastically each year, and I alway try to grow up while keeping things that are beautiful of my youth. The film left many impression on me, but there is one thing that I remember the most and still believe in.

The film is about a journey of a young American girl in Tuscan, Italia. It started out as a summer vacation visit, but what really drive her here is to discover the truth about her mother and her real father, and about her growing out of being a girl.

Goon

Goon is like a fist, simple but pack the force of a freight train.

I started off my afternoon as I start surfing through the pile of new movies. Road Trip, the flick which was named after my favorite gerne, didn’t do it for me, so after 10 minutes of it trying to grab my attention, I hit Goon, and I have no regret of doing so.

parse Float

var providedString : String;

var neededFloat : float;

neededFloat = float.Parse( providedString , System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.NumberFormat );

Note: might depend on OS

It’s about the Journey ^^

I’ve just saw Miss March, a dumb movie so bad it’s good. =))
I’ve alway love road-trip movies, all of them that I’ve watched. At the end of this one I though that I’m gonna hate the ending even if it’s brilliant. Because the journey it’s coming to an end. (Spoiler alert: it’s a stupid movie with stupid ending but whatever, I love it)
I alway think that I have a mental problem because when sleeping, my dreams’ve alway been me trying to do something, but I alway wake up before I when I get any thing done. It might be the reflection of my behavior in some way.
So while watching this suppose to be a shallow movie, I have a little  epiphany, a mild enlightentment you might say, that I understand more of what “it’s all about the journey” mean.

Stories in Uncharted series #1

Uncharted 3 is the game that I have to go out and buy immediately after I finished Uncharted 2, dispite the fact that I was flat broke.

The reason is that U2 left such a good impression in me. The game did so many things right. Gameplay is tight, graphic is damn beautiful, and most of all, it was the solid story that hook me up the most. It made me care about the characters, their goals and motives.

ADVENTURE TIME!

The plots in Uncharted series are always about light hearted adventures, althought you kill a lots of people in order to progress.

Về cái vấn đề Ngôn Ngữ #1

Có lẽ tôi bắt đầu suy nghĩ, lẩm bẩm trong đầu bằng tiếng Anh cũng phải 5-6 năm rồi.

Nói chung là chỉ vì cái văn hóa nó hấp thụ vào người bằng ngôn ngữ nào. Từ hồi bé tí học cấp 1 cấp 2, tôi nghiện xem phim hoạt hình trên Cartoon Network. Hồi đó chẳng hiểu gì, nhưng vẫn xem suốt ngày. Tôi nghĩ là từ đó mà tiếng Anh và cái văn hóa Mỹ nó ngấm dần vào người.

Sau đó thì mê game, hồi nhỏ
