交友的哲思


人的一生往往陷入與人交往的煩惱中。因為人類社會離不開金錢、權力、情慾這三種關係。如果你想交肝膽相照的朋友,找可以相伴一生的伴侶,又或者想保持平淡而長遠的關係,網絡的警語或可供細味(括號內是我加的按語):
*解釋永遠都是多餘,理解你的人不需要,不理解你的人沒必要。
*通常願意留下來跟你爭吵的人,才是真正愛護你的人。(所以掌握權力越大,越沒有真正愛護他的人。)
*付出真心,才會得到真心,卻也可能傷得最徹底。保持距離,才能保護自己,卻也註定永遠寂寞。(這是人生的兩難。)
*有時候,不是對方不在乎你,而是你把對方看得太重。(失去朋友或愛侶,也許是你的問題。)
*朋友就是把你看透了,還能喜歡你的人。真正的朋友瞭解你比你自己還要多一點。(人貴有自知之明。貴,說明瞭解自己最難。)
*就算believe,中間也有lie。(最信任的朋友之間,也不會沒有謊言。)
*真正的好朋友,並不是在一起就有聊不完的話,而是在一起沒話說,也不會感到尷尬。
*沒有一百分的另一半,只有五十分的兩個人,湊成一百分的兩口子。
*為你難過而快樂的,叫敵人。為你快樂而快樂的,叫朋友。為你難過而難過的,就是那些應該放心裏的人。
*冷漠,有時候並不是無情,只是一種避免被傷害的工具。(熱情對他人有時是負擔。)
*對於世界而言,你是一個人。但是對於愛你的人而言,你就是他的全部,整個世界。(對於被當作全部和整個世界的人,也很沉重。)
*不要為那些不願在你身上花時間的人,浪費你的時間。(追逐這樣的人,是無意義也無成效的事。)

Finding Mr. Right《北京遇上西雅圖》


一次過以幾個社會流行現象編成喜劇,極能反映時下中國民情,特別是移民、婚姻關係、物質主義與人生目標等大問題,並學曉了用典型的荷里活愛情喜劇來包裝,表面上是內地製作,但全程在西雅圖拍攝(小部分北京),由穿着形象以至外景一點不土,可說是中國有城市愛情喜劇以來,水準最高的一部。

湯唯飾演拜金女,當人家的小三,懷了孕打算到西雅圖做雙非孕婦產子。這前設有極強的現實基礎,美加這種專做內地孕婦生意的月子公寓眾所周知。這角色,愛慕名牌瞧不起人,稍有點錢就使死人。片中談到西雅圖一套房子賣四百萬元,只能在北京二環內買兩個廁所的笑話,也一直是內地流行的段子。

沿用有咁耐風流有咁耐折墮的公式,她自然被男人截斷財路(男人在中國因財政不明被查處亦時有發生),然後愛上當地一個平淡樸實,開始時是冤家但其實懷才不遇的好男人。留了鬚的吳秀波演這好男人確是好看,女觀眾都會喜歡。此片的確讓人見識到內地片的新成績。

Secret Anti-Abuse Message

西班牙慈善機構設計出一款獨特的反虐童街頭海報,只有孩童才能看見求救熱線電話號碼。設計者表示,當受虐孩童走在街上時,施暴者很可能就站在身邊,將求助信息隱藏起來只讓孩子看見,才有意義。

英國《每日郵報》引述西班牙兒童及青少年援助基金會(Anar)稱,這款反家庭暴力海報的完整信息,必須從孩童的低角度視線才能看到——身高135厘米以下的孩童看海報時,會見到海報中的男孩臉上有瘀傷,以及「如果有人傷害你,撥電話給我們,我們會幫助你」的字句和求助熱線電話號碼。但以成人高度看海報時,只會看到一張平平無奇的悲傷孩童照片和以下這段文字﹕「有時候,虐待兒童的行為只有受害者才看得到。」
基金會解釋,他們擔心若成人和孩童都可看到求救專線號碼,孩童身旁的成人可能會威迫誘勸受虐孩童勿尋求協助。
負責海報印刷的廣告公司Grey Spain表示,海報採用了透鏡印刷(lenticular printing)技術,結合兩張圖像印製出來,「海報上的部分畫面文字,只有10歲以下孩童才能看見,成人則只能看到警告信息」。Anar表示,他們希望海報能幫助孩童建立信心撥打電話求助。

Virgin Group : Richard Branson

願賭服輸的維珍集團老闆 Richard Branson 爵士化身空姐,於昨天亞航由澳洲柏斯往吉隆坡的慈善航班服務乘客。


3年前,Richard在阿布扎比跟亞航老闆 Tony Fernandes 輸賭自己的一級方程式車隊比對方快衝線。輸者要在對方的航空公司做一日空姐。Richard 說他從沒想過自己會輸,才會口出狂言。

但他這天當空姐絕不馬虎:在人前剃腳毛、穿上制服、化濃妝……只欠剃鬚與高跟鞋。他在機上亦有進行廣播、派餐等日常機組人員工作。在航班起航前更與 Tony 親吻鬧著玩,盡顯「玩得」本色。

是次航班的盈餘會撥捐星光兒童基金會 (Starlight Children’s Foundation) ,幫助患慢性危疾的兒童。





Angelina Jolie


安祖蓮娜祖莉撰文披露,日前已接受兩邊乳房切除手術(mastectomy),以防患上乳癌。醫生評估,祖莉有87%機會患上乳癌、50%機會患上卵巢癌。
祖莉撰文「My Medical Choice」投稿至《紐約時報》,解釋自己這項決定,表示自己家族有基因缺陷,較易患上乳癌及卵巢癌,故決定接受手術。她把自己的故事公開,希望鼓勵更多女性接受基因測試。
重整乳房形狀
現年37歲的祖莉有遺傳性BRCA1基因,經醫生評估,有87%機會患上乳癌、50%機會患上卵巢癌。一般攜有BRCA1基因的婦女平均有65%機會患上乳癌。祖莉今年2月2號開始接受手術,至4月27號完成全部步驟,切除兩邊乳腺組織,並利用填充物重整乳房形狀。祖莉形容,除了幾道小疤痕外,她在孩子眼中與之前沒有任何分別。
她投書公開自己的經歷,希望更多女性明白,在奪命的癌症面前,女性有預先檢查並主動預防這一個選擇。祖莉在文中特意感謝在整個手術過程,每分每秒都陪伴著她的畢彼特。
《My Medical Choice》全文
MY MOTHER fought cancer for almost a decade and died at 56. She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms. But my other children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was.
We often speak of “Mommy’s mommy,” and I find myself trying to explain the illness that took her away from us. They have asked if the same could happen to me. I have always told them not to worry, but the truth is I carry a “faulty” gene, BRCA1, which sharply increases my risk of developing breast cancer andovarian cancer.
My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, although the risk is different in the case of each woman.
Only a fraction of breast cancers result from an inherited gene mutation. Those with a defect in BRCA1 have a 65 percent risk of getting it, on average.
Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy. I started with the breasts, as my risk of breast cancer is higher than my risk of ovarian cancer, and the surgery is more complex.
On April 27, I finished the three months of medical procedures that the mastectomies involved. During that time I have been able to keep this private and to carry on with my work.
But I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience. Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people’s hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action.
My own process began on Feb. 2 with a procedure known as a “nipple delay,” which rules out disease in the breast ducts behind the nipple and draws extra blood flow to the area. This causes some pain and a lot of bruising, but it increases the chance of saving the nipple.
Two weeks later I had the major surgery, where the breast tissue is removed and temporary fillers are put in place. The operation can take eight hours. You wake up with drain tubes and expanders in your breasts. It does feel like a scene out of a science-fiction film. But days after surgery you can be back to a normal life.
Nine weeks later, the final surgery is completed with the reconstruction of the breasts with an implant. There have been many advances in this procedure in the last few years, and the results can be beautiful.
I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.
It is reassuring that they see nothing that makes them uncomfortable. They can see my small scars and that’s it. Everything else is just Mommy, the same as she always was. And they know that I love them and will do anything to be with them as long as I can. On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.
I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive. So to anyone who has a wife or girlfriend going through this, know that you are a very important part of the transition. Brad was at the Pink Lotus Breast Center, where I was treated, for every minute of the surgeries. We managed to find moments to laugh together. We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has.
For any woman reading this, I hope it helps you to know you have options. I want to encourage every woman, especially if you have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, to seek out the information and medical experts who can help you through this aspect of your life, and to make your own informed choices.
I acknowledge that there are many wonderful holistic doctors working on alternatives to surgery. My own regimen will be posted in due course on the Web site of the Pink Lotus Breast Center. I hope that this will be helpful to other women.
Breast cancer alone kills some 458,000 people each year, according to the World Health Organization, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. It has got to be a priority to ensure that more women can access gene testing and lifesaving preventive treatment, whatever their means and background, wherever they live. The cost of testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2, at more than $3,000 in the United States, remains an obstacle for many women.
I choose not to keep my story private because there are many women who do not know that they might be living under the shadow of cancer. It is my hope that they, too, will be able to get gene tested, and that if they have a high risk they, too, will know that they have strong options.
Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.

Maison Eric Kayser


全球有85間分店(餐廳在法國境外,日本、紐約、杜拜、新加坡等) Maison Eric Kayser 麵包糕餅店暨餐廳,用天然酵母烘焙出的手工麵包。

在1996年以自己名字 Eric Kayser 在巴黎成立首間麵包店,Eric 的曾祖父、祖父、父親以至他本人4 代均為麵包師,堪稱麵包烘焙世家。他在家鄉法國獲得過其他麵包師的教導,也曾在國立烘焙學院(INBP)任教。要烘焙出優質的麵包,就是用天然酵母並以長時間來發酵,並不添加防腐劑。他發明了一部 Fermentolevain 機器,有助把天然酵母保持在理想的溫度下使用,酵母混合麵粉(使用法國、南韓及泰國產地)成麵糰,再經過大約 12 小時的發酵過程,再烘焙不同的麵包。這種方法做出來的麵包會透出自然的麥、牛奶、榛子的氣味,外層微脆,切開後可見明顯的氣孔,質地鬆軟富彈性。

Eric會為每個地方的分店構思當地獨有款式,如日本有綠茶杏仁牛角酥,香港則推出白切雞意大利包及漢堡牛角酥。
