What would you see into the horde looking for a familiar person? Yes or no. I don’t know. You know? You may answer by saying that, “Hmm, you’re asking me.” A poker face is like 12/52. Not 24/7/52, but 12/52. How could you do to make that poker face, you want my opinion? Yes, definitely. Good. If you want to hear that, I would say that it’s basic instinct, too. I would avert it. But if I were you, I would show all the cards on a table to see if there are one or two cards missing. Because I have such experience that several packs of poker cards mixed into it. How could you know, then, all that poker face on the table is 12/52. Are you sure? To have someone to count on. But we do not have our mother with us. Were we not to learn quick enough, we would be dropped out to the water of endless sea. For me, in order to survive I was learning to swim in free-style from YMCA at Taipei City taught by an American coach and learned it in several months. I was then 12 years old. That’s Baptism right? Quick enough? But at that moment I was with my mother to go to YMCA at Taipei City. A decade later, when I was in the New York City, I did not bring my mother there, therefore, I learned quite slowly. Slow motion. I just missed my MBA there. That’s my opinion about it. Thank you.

What if you say that obviously the poker face tells from the other card suit? Hmm, that may be a Johnson, not a Jackson. I say maybe. Poker faces have four different card suits, and still have ranks of King, Queen, Jack, etc. You say that you would see us through? I was quite looking forward to see it through. But when we are watching television programs or reading newspaper reports, at the same time we are interacting with the reporters with our own views, thinking frames, logic reasoning, etc. That’s different style experience. But paper is paper, they are different things and they have their own rules. What I heard was that we may not have that poker face show up in paper, and that should be a tacit agreement. But the paper would be demanded to have the representative ones shown up to have that political correctness make sense. I’d say that I guess the paper was required to do so. You know that, we would reluctantly to have that poker face show up, there. Because I have such opinion previously imprinted in my mind, therefore I am not intended to make it clear here. Maybe for some other reasons, but I do not think that would be my personal ones. That’s all.

Taken 2, Movie Review

Before I went to Liam Neeson featured movie Taken 2 in local theater of VieShow Cinemas Banciao MegaCity IMAX, of the Warner Bros. with a pack through 2013 finalized to Hong Kong Golden Harvest invested Vieshow Cinamas and the Canadian IMAX, I had spent some time on Wikipedia page doing the homework to preview the movie script outline and starring characters. The movie Taken 2 is distributed by the 20th Century Fox, and produced by Luc Besson.

In the movie Liam Neeson starring Bryan Mills had dropped by Kim Mills and Kim’s mother Lenore’s house in Los Angeles, Lenore told Bryan that a telephone call notifying to stand her up in the planned family trip, therefore Bryan persuaded Lenore that she could be with him for the trip to Istanbul instead. Lenore could not agree more gratefully. Lenore and Kim were meeting Bryan in the hotel reception lobby after Bryan had shaken hands with Turkey official celebrity and received an envelope looks like passport. Then in the hotel room Bryan was greeting Kim and Lenore welcome to Istanbul. Kim told Bryan that Lenore and she planned to give him a surprise, so they did not tell him they would come. On the street of Istanbul, Bryan and Lenore was in a black BMW sedan and followed by a Mercedes Benz Jeep. This alerted Bryan to order the BMW driver turning into a side alley. Stop short in front of a clothe shop Bryan told Lenore to run to the US embassy for help, then Bryan dropped the BMW driver to begin a car chasing show with Mercedes Benz Jeep. Bryan was caught by the Albania mafia chief Murad, chained to be kneed in jail. Murad asked Bryan if he knew any of the dead men on the pictures showed in his hand, Bryan said to Murad that he did not know anyone showed on the pictures. This angered mafia chief Murad, said that his son was dead and he would get it back. Bryan answered that he came to Istanbul because his daughter was kidnapped here. Then the mafia gangsters brought Lenore into the jail in front of Bryan, Murad cut Lenore’s throat, masked her with black clothe and upside down hanged Lenore with chain to the air. The blood was dripping from the black mask clothe to ground, the mafia chief Murad then asked Bryan how long would it take for her to die. Bryan answered that it would take about half an hour. The mafia chief Murad was satisfied with the answer of Bryan and went out with the other gangsters to seize Kim.

Before Bryan and Lenore both seized by the Albania mafia chief, Bryan had shaken hands with important celebrity of Istanbul and had met with Kim and Lenore in the hotel reception lobby. In the hotel room Bryan took off his bullet proof vest and put his gun together into the weaponry metal suitcase, shelved into the hotel closet. Then Bryan with Kim taking sight-seeing boat on the river of Istanbul, Bryan said that to the east side of waterway was culture of East Asian, to the west side is modern European culture, therefore the conflicts were persisting in between of this place. Bryan told Kim that he read it from a book, and the book was in the hotel room he could give her the book to read. In the beginning of the movie, Bryan went to Lenore’s home and asking where Kim had been, Lenore told Bryan that Kim had a new boyfriend. Bryan looked like disguising his emotion trying to appear in high EQ, that’s what it tells the audience they were both adults and well contained. Or maybe it was just out of the deep affection between father and daughter. The Wikipedia page about the movie Taken 2 mentioned several other starring characters, Casey, Bernie, Sam, etc.

Except for the opening scene was the Albania mafia chief Murad addressing in the funeral, a pantoscopic view of the graveyard in the mountains, all the movie were shooting around the Istanbul urban background with a mosque and two Turkey national flags. The Black Mercedes Benz Jeep was chasing black BMW and thereafter a yellow Mercedes Benz stolen taxi, approaching the ending was the stolen yellow taxi crashes break into the American embassy across the USA troops guarded barrier. The flying stripes and star-spangles USA national flags on the rooftop of the embassy, with the political celebrities playing golf in the field immediately answered in responsibility, convulsed the audience’s heart. Kim asked Bryan if her mother Lenore died, Bryan answered that what the mafia wanted was he himself, therefore Lenore would be alive. After sent Kim into the US embassy, Bryan went back to mafia chief’s jail for rescue of Lenore. There was a bare hand fighting with the gangster, then Bryan told the mafia chief Murad if he gives up revenge for his dead son, Bryan could drop the gun in hand to bury the hatchet. Bryan could do it because he said he was tired. The mafia chief Murad agreed. Bryan circled his handgun playing in hand then dropped it onto the ground, but the mafia chief Murad betrayed his words to pick up the gun trying to shoot Bryan from behind. A click sound heard without bullet in the gun barrel. Bryan turned back, showed the bullet in hand dropping to ground, bare hand to knock the mafia chief Murad onto the towel hook to end the play. The story line went to this point as this, what could we say? “That’s right, it deserves that rotten tomato awarded score.”

After the mission in Istanbul, Bryan and Kim returned to the USA. Bryan accompanied Kim to the driving test examination. When Kim passed the driving license examination, Bryan asked what would she want for celebrating, and the father and daughter shared pleasure of Kim’s achievement. The final scene was Bryan, Kim together with Lenore in family vacation on river side of newly built yacht dock, in the observatory restaurant on the far end of the dock for leisure tourists to dine. At the right moment Kim’s boyfriend Jamie coming into the movie scene, along with Lenore’s humor words, “Haven't I told that you should not fire her company?” That’s the tacit agreement showed between the reunited couples and in each other.

Why the last scene would arrange a test for driving license? If there was no caption it would not be that easy for us to make out the sign on the wall, although the movie camera quickly moving back and forth twice on the sign, which should read something like this, “For Test Driver Use Only”. Maybe we could read between the lines. But if you had taken a driver license test before in the California area, you possibly could find out that the facility was for driver license test without necessarily reading what the words are on the sign. That could be the difference between left brain thinking model people and right brain thinking model people. Left brain thinking people only focus on what was important, focus on for one thing or two only. Performing decisions, the left brain people require only simple operation such as choosing between true and false, yes and no, positive and negative, accelerate and brake. By left brain model they ignored the remaining irrelevant details, only focus and patience, waiting for the next decision making point to prompt up. That scene of Kim’s driving license test arranged in Liam Neeson featured movie Taken 2, which especially emphasized the stunt effects and bare hand fightings, supposed to infer “a license”.  

In the movie Bryan was driving a black BMW, and in the BMW he was with Lenore chased by a Mercedes Benz Jeep. The driver was ordered to stop in front of the clothe shop, drop Lenore to run for the US embassy. Then it was in the jail of the Albania mafia chief Murad, when Lenore was cut on the throat and bleeding for dying, Bryan used the communicating device hidden in sock to telephone Kim in the hotel and instructed her to locate Bryan with drawing two five kilometer circles on the map with two points intercepted around the hotel and the mafia chief’s jail. Then Bryan instructed Kim when she was hiding in the closet shelved the weaponry metal suitcase, hiding from the mafia shooters, to carry two grenades and a handgun with her before left the hotel. Bryan instructed Kim to throw the two grenades on different spots for Bryan to locate the mafia jail with direction and distance from the hotel. Kim finally found out the chimney with white steaming released by Bryan, but the gangster from the mafia chief Murad have chased to catch up with Kim at a short range. However, Bryan required Kim to drop the gun into the chimney for him immediately. To be frankly, these two chasing plays and scenes in the movie Taken 2, look quite like that appeared in the 2003 Warner Bros. and Atari made Home Video game, Enter the Matrix, two different players appeared in apart places to have the chasing games separately.

After the movie, I have my lunch at the McDonald’s on the ninth floor of the Mega City Department Store. From the window of the ninth floor was the panoramic view of the New Taipei City Goverment Building Square and the New Taipei City Railroad Station. Across the New Taipei City Government Square was the elevated Bank of Panhsin Building, newly built. Besides that was the Stanford Building, beautiful white decoration on the roof top with the Standard Chartered Bank resided in. Behind that, was the building of National Tax Administration Banqiao Branch 2. These newly built buildings encircled all the New Taipei City Station Square on the center. A two-story porch extended from the New Taipei City Government Building, with tile and brick canopy concrete made and steel porch railings, from above it looks just like the docks in California or docks in the New York East River and just seeing in the movie. There happened to be observatory restaurants on each side of the docks included this McDonald’s on the ninth floor of Mega City Department Store. On the corner of the ninth floor next to the McDonald’s, was a restaurant called the Pumpkin Tomato, there hanged a white plastic skeleton on the wall as decoration. Very special decoration with deliberate design, the same style coincided with the statuary on same floor of Phantom of the Opera Boat Scene, with running water and bridge backdrop settings around the statuary. After lunch at the McDonald’s, I should hurry out of this and set out for the Taiwan Banciao District Court to counsel for October 18 of a district court writ, with the District Court sealed and the judge “Executive Writ” for “Ching Prosecute Savant 101 Yi(Court letter number)”, a Far Eastern Memorial Hospital mental evaluation decided by the district court judge. Forget all about this, in the observatory platform it’s really like World of Warcraft online game quest, report to Goldshire, it really can teach you to rest and relaxation.

This time, DB for once did not smile, determined to say good-bye to this world(World of Warcraft game. Because the prosecuting court plaintiff accused on April 2 in court that “The defendant was indulging himself in his own world.” That accusation should be taken as serious and apparently had accepted by the Taiwan Banciao District Court prosecutor and judge. Therefore, DB for once did not smile for this decision.)

My cousin said that I have been to the New York City for a study tour.

"Why did you get so mad about it? Why, why, why?"

"Guess what? I'd like to buy you a mug of draft beer there. But how could it turn out to be a blind date for that the date had been going on for several months, still could it be that you were mistaken me for another taller and nicer guy? You with a girlfriend followed that nice guy all the way down to the Wall Street? How was that?"

"You said that you went to Malaysia for a handcrafted luxury apparel which called name brand Naf Naf to be a local made in the New York City? That was not cheap than that nylon green fade away glory one piece seven dollars, for sure."

"But you criticized my point of view and my proud knowledge of this world. You do not understand that I would not allow this."

"Are you sure that you went to Malaysia only buy a Naf Naf clothing and not the place in Singapore?"

"Since we are apart, you always think about this. You don't think that maybe a mob hidden there and he was a bad guy even could sue you."

"There is no mob, at least no further."

"Oh, really?"

"I think first you should agree with that."

"Terrible. But it happened."

"Did you say that today if I were not here I was suffering a loss?"

"What loss?"

"The loss of the game in court. For example, you are not aware of where the ball is in court, you did not know."

"What court? Why we have to buy the balls? Something to do with the Vanity Fair? You know the balls in tin can package all go to be chipped into potato crisps"

"Slazenger, I know it."

"You drink Heineken or Budweiser?"

"Didn't you think that Asahi is more suitable for you? I thought you are appreciating the Asahi, especially when the beautiful Asahi journalist had been putting down so much of those things happened in New York on the newspaper."

"Sorry, I don't think it will do or either it can work, you know that. That was the study tour, for sure."

That is the question I found and therefore automatically answered, by myself. No roaring of motorbikes like the lunatic to be called back memory of the second foreign language beautiful teacher. Because it is a decade later, my cousin and I do not call it a study tour any more. Instead, we call that sight-seeing, Tour de France or the trip of the European continent, a journey once in my life time.

Many, many years ago, rich mom made her children not to be watching television but to be learning to read books. That is, rich mom want to cultivate her children outstanding in the school curriculum, staying away from television and the lure of material world. Therefore, rich mom have the children with books and only media news. How did poor mom think, then? Poor mom used to be the mass media follower, therefore, poor mom had the children with televisions. Set top box, TiVo, Cable TV, Satellite Dish, MTV, blah, blah, blah. Late at night lying on the sofa, children always complaint to their teacher, saying that home was not warm enough. That is, the children used to feel cold at home of the poor mom. Poor mom used to made the children with televisions. That’s how terrific children was suffering neglect in the home by their poor mom.

Rich mom always follows the stock market news, television, radio, internet, etc. Rich mom did not walk away when the stock market occasionally collapsed. Rich mom has their savings and investment in the stock market. Rich mom is also not afraid of manipulation of the market speculators and insiders. Rich mom always takes counsel of the financial celebrity, or maybe the host in the television talk show. So, how about the poor mom? Poor mom want a healthy financial environment, a balanced cash flow spread sheet, not too much leverage of financial tools, steady job, a nice wage. Earnest and young, that’s also welcome to everybody. Poor mom looks into financial mutual funds, makes use of banking services, utilizes every small amount of savings disposable income to the bank financial advice. Poor mom does not gamble with two banks, poor mom only follow her bank. Don’t cry over the spilled milk. Don’t what? What’s that? Mop clear the milk on the floor, is it? That’s the difference I see between rich mom and poor mom for these decades.

Name: David CK Chang

Telephone: 29550553
TITLE: Further details of the treason felony mentioned in legal complaints on Sept 24 filed to Supreme Court
Content:
Dear Chief Justice Mr Hao-Ming Rai and Supreme Court Justices:

Further details of the treason felony mentioned in legal complaints 101/09/24 @ 13:29 filed to Supreme Court, “The guilty verdict given on Sep 18 Taiwan High Court slander case against Legislator Tsai Trong-rong was with implication of Taiwan High Court subversion case number 101 HE 667 in that Breeze Mr Liao Cheng-Han had an alias pseudonym of Mr Su Chi before Liao’s decease.” The legal complaints mentioned “…causing potential annihilating atomic bomb attack upon the main island of Taiwan, is the implication and legal constituting element of treason felony.” Explains as following:

1. The legal complaints filed to Supreme Court mentioned that Banciao District Court, case number Savant 101 Yi 2318 Libel Case prosecuted against the privy Mr David Chang without any necessary legal constituting elements. The criminal libel case shall be incriminated by the very crime victim Mr Liao Cheng-han by law, but both the legal yet controversial owners of this confusing identity, the Liaos brothers, elder Mr Liao Cheng-han and younger Mr Liao Jun-San, both of the nuclear payload carrying Bomber and Reconnaissance USA plane pilots, were successively deceased. Mr Legislator Tsai Trong-rong “planned for the press and media releasing the death news of the disappeared commissioned reporter Mr Liao Cheng-han, because in 2008 autumn the USA officials ever required Mr Liao Cheng-han to file an important report to his US superior, but the reporter Mr Liao Cheng-han was killed by muffle gun in the community died on scene.” Because the brothers of Mr Liao both were pilot of USA (code name Black Cat) Reconnaissance and Bomber, out of patriotism prompted Mr Liao expressing intention and determination to sacrifice for Taiwan to avert annihilating attack of nuclear payload bomber before his death on March 17, 2008 in the Banciao community.

2.The other reliable source that USA nuclear payload bomber waiting for command to be ready for a revenge attack upon Taiwan, was from the Switzerland government negotiating with the staffs in the Situation Room of USA National Defense Department or the Pentagon. The privy Mr David Chang on July 30, 2002 or July 31 walking in the Zurich suburb sight-seeing route, an intangible message informed that nearby hidden by tree bushes and rocks was a shaft with elevator of the outlet of subway.(Translation footnote: The nuclear payload USA Bomber pilot Mr Laio Cheng-han was said to be just located under the shaft of the desolate route of hidden subway outlet. For some reasons, Mr Liao dare not to use the elevator to come up to ground, while the privy was persuaded and lured into the subway tunnel. Mr Liao said he could escort the privy to be confined to some kind of tourist information center and not necessarily the privy would be killed.) On the ground near the subway outlet, the Switzerland and United Nations officials were negotiating with the USA Situation Rooms apex officers not to make a lethal attack upon the Switzerland visiting tourist and the UN Child Abuse Case privy Mr David Chang. The USA Situation Room revealed information included that “daughter Ms Chelsea of former President Bill Clinton was leaving Taipei, but former President Bill Clinton still has a son staying at Taiwan. (President Mr George W. Bush) ordered the already stand-by B-26 or B-52 bomber delaying their conditional revenge attack mission until the son of Mr Bill Clinton is persuaded to leave the Taiwan area.” Another message delivered on scene was that, “The identity check up of this tourist in Switzerland of a Taiwanese Mr David Chang, and United Nations certain file holder, United Nations child abuse case, is correct. Ethnic Asian and related to the former President Mr Bill Clinton, but he is apparently not the son of former President Bill Clinton.” On July 24 also in Switzerland there was another information coming in, which mentioned about evacuate American citizens from Taiwan. Related context background information about former USA President Bill Clinton has a son staying in Taiwan at the moment is that on November 1, 1990, the Arkansas Governor Mr Clinton had met the privy Mr David Chang near National Tsing Hua University(NTHU) campus at Hsin Chu City, and stayed in Taiwan for three days before Mr Clinton together with Mrs Hillary R. Clinton flied back to the USA. Several days later the Arkansas Governor Mr Clinton came back to Taiwan by civil aviation for several times and staying for a duration around half a year. During this period, Mr Clinton had been inquiring files and newspapers in the library of the former Taipei County Culture Center, about the 1983 Mandarin Daily News contents of the topic “Surrogate Mother.” Therefore when the Switzerland government and United Nations officials in 2002 July negotiated with staffs of the USA Situation Room(seemed to include then USA incumbent President Mr George W. Bush), the apex officers said that former President Bill Clinton having a son in Taiwan and declined to leave, determined to defend and protect Taiwan from the USA nuclear payload bomber attack, the information therefore is held as quite reliable.

3. The Arkansas first lady Hillary Rodham(Clinton)’s father, Mr Hugh Rodham was deceased at some hospital at Taipei City on November 12, 1990. Mr Chiang Mian-Heng of Shanghai SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corps) in his early twenties, his mother Mrs Chiang later also died at Taipei on the same day, therefore the significance of this precise date was then to be identified clearly. The Arkansas Governor and Attorney General Mr Clinton was staying for half a year in Taiwan for chief magistrate investigating while overlapped the USA presidential election campaign before he was elected the USA 42nd President, Mr Clinton had not mentioned a word about Mr Hugh Rodham’s death at Taipei. From Hillary R. Clinton’s 2003 autobiography Living History and Bill Clinton’s 2003 autobiography My Life, we can both find out that Mr Hugh Rodham’s funeral was held in 1992 April, the newly minted White House couples were flying from Washington DC to Arkansas, and the funeral was held around Mr and Mrs Rodham’s house located beside the Arkansas Governor Mansion. The date notified National Chiao Tung University(NCTU) campus in 1991 September that Mr Hugh Rodham was deceased in 1991 May before the summer vacation, should be deemed as a delayed date and not the precise date of Mr Hugh Rodham’s decease. The newly elected White House first lady when she notified that message, was combining with the dissatisfying that before November 4, 1990 they were leaving Taipei Mr Bill Clinton did not meet the Ivy League Chairman officer(Cornell alumni Taiwan Chairman and President Mr Lee). Another related context of message notifying the Hsin-Chu City NCTU campus mentioned the untrue contents of college student file of curriculum score elevating issue of Control Eng. Dept. student David in 1991 May and the senior forsaken bike within campus fabricated as stolen bike issue in 1991 September, both of which were leading to Hugh Rodham’s death in the Hospital of Taipei some day after the Veteran Day of 1991 September 11. That was for sure not a correct date. Besides, the Taiwan National Defense aides Ms Chen Chu sent a threatening and anonymous message to invite the junior of NCTU student and privy Mr David Chang to sign the national defense department contract, or she would together with the others of Democratic Progressive Party(DPP) national defense contract signed members to force the privy drop out from NCTU university courses by all means, including the law suit in court to harass the university student life. Another event was that on August 2, 1996 school opening day, after meeting with the USA First Lady Mrs Hillary R. Clinton and taking a personal picture, the privy Mr David Chang was harassed to drop out from personal fee-paying public school of New York City CUNY Baruch graduate school program within three months, aggravating the malign abuse and not healing wound was that the privy’s grandmother was suffering a medical gross negligence treatment and died on August 9, 1996 at Taipei Veteran General Hospital(TVG Hospital). These data and information could be analyzed to be considered as consistent contents and posed as authentic.

4. On July 31, 2002 refused to leave Taiwan, the former USA President Bill Clinton’s son(his name was said to be Mr J. James) previously was said to have already left Taipei and have come back to the USA after his seeking for President Mr Ma Ying-Jeou’s support for certain political issue(former president Mr SB’s in jail) was declined. That event would pose a threatening of the nuclear bomb revenge attack which was ordered to be delayed with the condition until the departure from Taiwan of the former USA President’s son, Mr J. James.

Sometimes it is not that easy to express your needs to your, um, whatsoever. For example, when to show that you are timid but not just afraid, because across a long dark alley without proper illumination may scare you. It is not about your career, about your soul or something else. You are tasting the icy coke, a walker, leaves for the toilet would be an option, quivering like you you probably would feel it deeper than soul. What is the freak about that no one would make out for it is myself. For you I only have to care not myself but also lovely one. And your brave one is not with her Lisey’s but with her Insomnia. How is that a dawn both are waiting but feeling more closer? How can that be a replicate to be depicted? If it is not to be forgiven a relationship in between each other, just to be forgotten, will that be a vow to be made, or only a whim, a ring, Tiffany or something else? Whom are you with on Wednesday? I would not interfere with those details in your personal life, or micromanage it for you. I would allow this and that’s your liberty. Freedom. Two of hearts, is two hearts, right? I think we are alone now. What if the way we are leading is to the ending for our love because we do not care enough for it and speak it out to our lovely one, express our jealousy and envy of whom she is with on Wednesday? Would that be a pity in your personal life?

But a need is not a want, a demand. A need is a need. In the novelty books I read it, you need it. Sounds like that. You are right, what can I say? But we have to face the music, books are still books, not a real stuff. What are the adult keeping arguing that it is a serious stuff but only making more bleeding about it. Ignorance is as such that sly trick may play they call help, beside that they sell a diesel car they know have problems. They engrave a new series number on the engine. And you see the incrimination, you cannot miss it! What do you mean? That is that. We are no children, but they are adult. They take care of us. Everybody has his own reasons, and maybe I need you. I want you. I demand you. That would fit into the psychology theory of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. And that’s not something about the theory of consumer behavior you would find in the economics textbook. That’s real. That’s your life.

This morning my father stop me at the door when he was repairing something on the second floor of our apartment style building. He was trying to tell me something. I told him that I have to catch the bus, coming to library. I guess it was that something about my articles posted on the internet and he may have read it. That’s just what I think.

Recently I have been regulating my day to night sleeping cycle from 10-to-6 to 12-to-6. Although I still have to confront inertial rooted in my greed for meat and loaf of bread life style, to my glee is that I do not have to face the noise, not the music, coming from the neighborhood out of constructing site any more. That noise made you ill. Actually, the community building construction works had all finished. That construction site seemed to last forever since 2002 in the summer, and the effort I paid to confront that could be gaining returns. You know, I have filed a law suit of subversion against community investor and owner Mr Liao and the New Taipei City Criminal Police Brigade(Department). That could be a temporary rest to this perpetual fire of ordained ordeal. You cannot beat it. All told.

This Sunday morning I went to Taipei Wesley Methodist Church for church worship service. It was just before the National Day at Taiwan on October 10. The preacher was Mr Cheng Hsien-Chang and the topic was about emotions and relationships. But when the preacher exaggerated his gesture he just kneed down twice on the pulpit. Weird enough, you know. But when the preacher said again besides last time he said a year ago that the church communion service is belonging to the church members who had been baptized, therefore on this Sunday I did not have the communion wafer and juice. I know my sister Linda had been baptized when she was in her beautiful high school first year, but I don’t think that she had ever been to this church service in the past. That could be the high school baptism ceremony, she could have forgotten to pay the tribute money to the baptize service.

Siblings could have very different statures that could vary in inches even to feet of height. When we meet a man not necessarily we will confront him, you know. But the newspaper said that when we would choose a president from candidates, you would have chosen the taller one. Have you ever chosen the taller one before? If you was tall and normal at that moment, it was supposed that you would follow suit. But we are different now, we will rethink the reciprocity concept turning agile to maneuver. We would want to survive and not to be fired from the battle in our life. That’s not the person only with the Big Mac and coke everyday who can learn it from choosing on menu of the McDonald’s. We are not the big Mac. Did she say that?

What about the hamburger store opened recently across the street from the bahnhof terminal? We see that a superman statue stands outside the hamburger store only but that it is called theWoody’s, Woody’s Burgers. Who are you with next Wednesday? For me I have no such worries and confusion because I have been alone for quite a while. Hmm, over a decade, alone. Available. No one with us, when what had happened that just coincided with the timing your car rubber meets the road. Rubber met the road? The Roberts Court? King of the rubber? Or son of the robber barons? What happened? We might be just better off with a shrug and say nothing at all. I have my reasons, after all. Well, did you dye your rubber? I think that is sap coming from a tropical tree. But there still are others made from chemicals. Would that be the true job that makes you work like a jackass? What I learned from lessons in the past decade in applied psychology, if we can call it as that, is that we had better quit talking about this or we would just like them officers doing jobs that have aides. Aides are not for love, you know.

The urban area we used to feel in modern world is constructed with concrete layers to cover the earth which is called basic infrastructure. Roads, buildings, skyscrapers, and so on. Underground we could see water pipelines, sewage systems, or even subway systems. Power facility could be vital to the city, and were there not a casual blackout we would not see the importance of that infrastructure meant to us. And we could still pay for it as you go. Division of labor goes international, as it goes. It is like a hardware design to set apart seven layers for outsourcing and we could still work together as a project team for a single product or function. It could apply the seven layers to software design as well. You could not dispense with that because you would not want to carry the whole world upon your shoulder. And that introduces perfect competitive market economics, depending on a concept called comparative advantage, although we do not want competition but only win. Therefore, the seven layers prevails in the universe and could be taken to be an only standard or rule without formal consent. Without opponents that could be suspected to be only disguises by which officials sponsored. Those opponents would survive in this reasoning. So would us subordinates. Under the seven layers of basic infrastructure in perfect competition world, we have recognized that standard and rule. The efforts paid or consumption made by us would be counted in to balance our scores. But I think it was apparently out of the question.

Go to the movies. Yes, entertainment is important. Yes, the Hollywood movies. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. And we have budget line which have always been confining us although we hate to admit it in front of our admirers. They had a lot of hope in and wishes sent to us. We could not disappoint them, you know. But who say that we could not make it? Trust me, you can make it, as this sentence went two decades ago, it seemed to amaze an unexpected guest around our campus. By that, of course, yes we can!

We often heard that young guy go to courting their lover, singing, playing guitar, waiting outside for all night in front of lover’s house. That’s Italian style of romance to make up a love story. Then, two young couples got married, consisting a family, and having children. When did you hear the difference between the big D and small one? That when a Democrat tells it from the democracy? No, it was divorce looming large to make out from division or separation. When the love theme of sad song played, you know that another day would be taking off, destination unknown, if tomorrow would be the future. But never quarrel with each other when your young ones were nearby. That would be an everlasting fault to be imprinted in their young minds and cannot be erased even decades later. You would never have a chance to mend it, you know. That could be a pity.

Pity is akin to love, but oxymoron is not like oxytocin or estrogen which are found to work in your brain. Rhetoric of your close friend sometimes was breaking your heart, or even your mind and body. Then you were taking a medical leave, absence of sickness, becoming invisible to your peers, and they would think you were a freak if you are stubborn enough. Or you were just a poor wretch if you were to show your weakness or to admit failure. Finally you found that nobody could confirm what happened and everybody had their reasons. No swing guaranteed a straight face and royal in your heart. But who would allow that? Your young at heart or old at heart? Not old, just elder?

Taipei City

Where did you first time see the logo of Starbucks Coffee? New York City? Not quite remember that, because sometimes I recall that to be logo ofSubway sandwiches. They both are healthy style food with beverage in green color. But the intangible message came in my mind, whether you want to admit it or not, mentioned what that store 1996 in New York City was, Starbucks Coffee. The owner was old lady but so jealous of her that another Taiwanese young madam made a decision to exclude me from the prestige beverage store at Manhattan. Therefore, I was forbidden to go there to have a drink from time to time. The coffee shop was reopened in summer of 1999 by old lady near my house at Banciao in Taipei area. I had a Fabuchino free right after the same week Starbucks Coffee new open and for sales promotion. But before the Coffee shop got bought back half of stocks and ownership to be taken over in July 2003, I had never been to that Coffee shop except two purchases in year 2000 and several cups did in year 2002. The old lady said to the New York chartered manager or her relative close friend, joking that she had no talent for business and making money.

Several years after beheld that logo, when I was preparing for the graduate school entrance examination and went to cram school to mend those courses not learning well in college days, probability, math, etc. I found a Subway sandwiches shop near the cram school on the Hankou Street at Taipei City. I spent quite a lot of money for collecting the paper stamps from the Subway sandwich store for exchanging a free sandwich from the Subway sandwich shop. One stamp could cost one hundred and fifty dollars each, and all the twelve stamps collected could exchange for a free sandwich. I made two or three of that stamp collecting deeds before I took the graduate school entrance examination and came of the age thirty. Finally I passed the entrance examination and went to graduate school of Tamkang University in summer 2001, you know. I have quite enough of that.
