我不難過

又站在你家的門口 我們重復沉默 這樣子單方面的守候 還能多久終于你開口向我訴說她有多溫柔 雖然你還握著我的手 但我已不在你心中

我真的懂 你不是喜新厭舊 是我沒有 陪在你身邊 當你寂寞時候別再看著我 說著你愛過 別太傷痛 我不難過 這不算什麼只是為什麼眼淚會流 我也不懂

就讓我走 讓我開始享受自由 回憶很多 你的影子也會充滿我生活我並不懦弱 你比誰都懂 雖然寂寞 這會是我 最後的寬容

抱緊我 再抱緊我 這一份感動 請你讓我留在胸口別在說是你的錯 愛到了盡頭 是非對錯 就讓它隨風忘了所有 過得比你快活

我真的懂 你不是喜新厭舊 是我沒有 陪在你身邊 當你寂寞時候別再看著我 說著你愛過 別太傷痛 我不難過 這不算什麼只是為什麼眼淚會流 我也不懂

不要再說 或許這是最好結果 現在分手 總好過你不愛我一拖再拖松開你的手 離開你左右 我向前走 這會是我 真正的解脫

期望

今年景氣不好,所以聖誕節來得比以往早,什麼大拍賣都早了三個星期.

前幾天,在收音機聽到一個有關加拿大人的問卷調查,問到他們最想要的聖誕禮物是什麼,第一名是LCD電視,(我也好想),第二名是行動電腦,第三名是GPS,看來這幾年加人的Wish List好像都是高科技產品.

有趣的是,當問到他們一共打算花多少錢在聖誕禮物上.答案是$381...基本上只有上列的第三名才買得到. 這就是期望跟付出的差異.

還是等待那個愛穿紅衣的過胖老人會不會把明年的景氣帶起來還比較實際.

Low Consumer Confidence! Great!

According to the most recent study, Consumer Confidence Index is at amulti-year low around 50, in comparison, 2007 saw a CCI of 110. What doesthat mean? That means you will be seeing more sales before and after Xmas,it does seem like the longer you hold your major purchases, the betterdeals you will see. Remember what I said earlier this year regarding howTravel Plans will cost a lot more before the end of year? It is no longertrue, many travel companies are throwing out crazy deals.

However, Portfolio Managers at Connor Clark & Lunn found somethinginteresting about CCI. They found when CCI dipped below 60 in the past, 26out 27 times of the time, market will recover on average of 19% in the nextyear. The only miss? Down 1%.
Same principle holds true here, "Be Greedy when others are fearful".

海角七號

海角七號最近在台灣暴紅,幾週前有幸看到DVD,不過是盜版的...

劇情事實上非常簡單,其實有點像high school musical的台版,一個地方想辦演唱會,但沒有暖身樂團,就隨便成軍.每個有對白的腳色都很有特色,很台,也很有故事,不過時間太短,總覺得好像整個電影只是某個電視劇的開始.

剛看完後不了解為什麼本片這麼紅.

看了幾次台灣新聞後,就完全悟了,台灣的新聞這麼烏煙瘴氣,股市這麼濫,如果不看小品電影(不過聽說好像花了天文數字),看什麼.回想林志玲暴紅的時候,好像也是時機壞壞的年代.

話說回來,不應該對海角七號太刻薄,畢竟它跳脫出很台的電影就是很悲情的圈套.

Everybody hurts - REM

Last time I saw this MTV was in 1993, it was very powerful, started off heavy, but ended uplifting. 15 years later, I saw its MTV on tv again. This is the song perfect for time like this.

--------------------------------------------------------

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone
--------------------------------------------------

Just hold on, don't panic sell! Remember everybody hurts sometimes!
