Skipping Class
Been skipping too many of them recently.With the tight schedule and a slackening attitude, i've been too lazy to wake up early for morning classes. Afternoon classes aren't that bad. Still, the participation level isn't too great.
The greatest problem is that i lack compadres in the BA class to help me out when i skip class. Sudden class reports in the Strategic Mgmt class is really killing me. Just realised that we're due for a group report in class today, and it was given only last week. Skipping it last week was really a killer man. So, i'm left without a group, and therefore no group work done.
I have the following options:
1. Screw this report, and leave my 10% class participation results to rot. Then working my ass off to bring my exam results to top the class....
( That will mean no partying when i head back to Sg, instead, relentless mugging...)
2. Plead with one of the teams to help me out, with nothing to offer them in return. Then going to the prof and telling him that i've not been awarded results for the group report.
Options Evaluation :
1. Preserving my integrity and my couldnt care less attitude, i'll be pressed to do freaking well for my exams. Which would be a challenge.
2. Losing my integrity and pride, and take the odds of the prof not accepting my explanation.
P.S.
1. I really should stop skipping this class. I like it by the way. Its interesting.
2. This sem really isnt like the last when skipping class really doesnt matter.
3. the double major is taking its toll on my GPA. Bye Bye Northwestern U ...
守信用
我想
魚跟猴子都是守信用的動物
曾經 乾杯慶功時誇下的海口
大家竟然依約履行
感動不在話下
敵對的競爭者 竟然彼此間互相扶持
互相鼓勵 ’’別擔心，你們行的’’
相信不會在那麼幸運 遇到雙贏的局面
競爭 難免二元對立 贏家的價值 來自於輸家的自卑
勝負心 ？
ａ）還好．．．ｂ）不知道．．．ｃ）不想面對．．．ｄ）沒在怕的
ｂ吧
真的不知道
只知道 很高興大家這麼守信用
但我也要履行我的諾言了．．．
＊希望＊
用心一點
被直接了當的說 我不夠用心
其實還挺傷的
徹底摧毀築起高牆的心防
殘垣敗瓦 不知所措
已經很就沒有這樣慌張了
徹徹底底的慌張
聽到她的聲音 無奈 灰心 欲哭無淚的嗓子
我似乎也辭窮了
除了在百般說不盡的對不起中 挽回絲髮的信心 對我們的
答應了她 會更用心的
忽然一陣心痛 把潛水已久的前女友 從腦海中撈出
當初分手的原因 不是這樣的
還是 她給的理由 只為補償我粉碎的自尊心
不用了 Keep the Change
是我對她不夠用心 還是對她不夠公平
怎麼辦
她說 我們現在處於很敏感的狀態 因為最近常惹她心煩
我問我自己
是因為忙碌
是因為細水長流
還是因為老爸
真的慌了
我是真的很在意
在意與行動卻似乎缺乏默契
只好用心一點
儘管救不了海灘上所有的海星 也要見一個 救一個
力挽狂瀾

The past few crazy days
Its been a crazy week. At least, till now. But its only Tuesday.
Following my accumulated momentum, setting my ill-oiled wheels in motion, I've been accomplishing several pieces of work due.
Besides attending the seminar in Cheng Kung University(成功大學) in Tainan, which was quite a success by the way. I've been busy setting the Chung Hsing University(中興大學) seminar that i'm in charge of in place. Finally contacted all the necessary part-timers, the speakers, as well as the venue and finger food, I'm left with only the publicity to take care of.
What a relief. After all, its only a week away.
And on top of all these, the heart of my busy schedule is the preparation for my Performing Arts Marketing finals. The execution phase is kind of tricky, with lots of contacting with publishing houses and other external units to do, which i have found to be my greatest nemesis. Luckily, my teammates are zealously completing these arduous tasks, leaving for me the organizational work. I like it this way.
The preps are going smoothly, with the Online contests, DM, Poster, Event booklet printing in place. The documentary that we've been filming is still WIP, but it should turn out ok...
My primary focus now is to complete the PPT presentation which in my opinion is the most magnificent PPT that i have ever designed, and probably one of the best the world has ever seen. (LOLz) The presentation should go well...
Well, as for now. I'm sitting on my bed, updating my blog, spacing out as i garner enough energy to continue with the PPT as well as wait for my online meeting later on.
*Shagz*
This Blog, 那部落格
This blog, though not maintained everyday, is my attempt at training myself in several different ways.
1. To imbue within me the spirit of perseverance, and actually rising up to complete whatever i set out to accomplish.
2. To practice and maintain my English writing skills, as well as keep myself up to date with an English-oriented thought process.
3. To remind myself and my friends that i still exist. And miss them.
4. To be able to look back someday, at my life. This life that i'm kinda exhausted with. But also the one period of my life, that i am actually proud of.
Hence, i will try within my capabilities, to update this blog as often as possible

Momentum
Its been a long day, with full classes(which i skipped partially).
Had a great session with Christopher today, dinner and chats for a couple of hours, discussing life and his plans to visit the Middle East, as well as enter and exchange program to Germany over summer. Its always great to spend time with him, finding more motivation to spur myself onwards in my academic performance. After all, he was the one who inspired me to take up my double major. Spent time gossiping about the people around us as well, which turned out to be explosive in the content he was able to provide... *Whoa*
Also had to perform a final check on the audio equipment at the Studio, in prep for the broadcast rehearsal tomorrow, which i cannot attend because i'm heading down south for the Seminar !
I'm quite excited about the Seminar tomorrow actually. Driving down to 台南 Tainan with my office colleagues, as well as hosting the first of a series of Seminars across the country. The excitement brews in part because of the fact that i haven't been down to Tainan since my army days, and i'm hoping it brings back fond memories of navigating and trudging onwards across the mountainous terrain. And of course, those 香雞排 that everyone was so fond of.
Just finished my Info Mgmt assignments, and i still have to post the presentation outline for my PA finals online now. Its a long night ahead....
All the best for tomorrow !!
P.S. Updates to my Photo Album, which FYI to those who don't already know, is the "Galleria Aperture" icon on the left of this post... Check out the new album on our print design for Taipei Dance Circle's Performance -- Olympics !

Executability 執行力
I've never worried about being one without ideas, nor organizational skills.
Participation in biz and marketing competitions has given me ample opportunities to put my mind to the test in brainstorming creative ideas and leading a team.
However, it has been brought to my notice by my closest circle, that i often lack the ability to execute my plans efficiently. And lacking the executability, not of my plans, but in my character, would probably be my downfall.
I've attributed this phenomenon to the fact that i'm simply lazy. Or as the chinese adage goes, 不見棺材不流淚. Well, this fact is becoming an increasing worry, at least for me.
Too run out to make calls for organizing the Competition Seminar my internship requires. Based partially on the fact that the event is in Taichung, while i'm in Taipei.
Too shagged out to publish the minutes of previous PA meetings.
I've always hoped to have a secretary to help me settle these nitty critty. And i thought that would set myself at ease. But i suppose, its probably one of the flaws i really have to kick...

[Adman] 廣告人的責任
"廣告對4%的人銷售Lexus, 而為96%的人塑造夢想"
這是一位我很欣賞的廣告人說過的話... ... 意義深刻
"廣告最的目的是銷售!" 同一家廣告公司的創辦人, 大衛奧格威如是說.
的確, 廣告產生的最主要原因, 即是為商人的商品提升買氣, 以"廣而告之"的目的緣起. 演變至今, 廣告的目的是多重的, 或應該說, 是被賦予冠冕堂皇的合理化解釋 -- 引起認知, 改變態度, 影響行為的subliminal influence 以及cognition penetration.
然而, 廣告仍有另一層影響(或許是副作用), 也是我期許背負"廣告人"爆肝過勞宿命的驅動力之一. 也就是廣告塑造社會流行文化的功能.
我認為, 好的廣告, 最好的創意來自於將生活化元素, 賦予意想不到的驚喜. 也就是說, 好的廣告是訴諸於平常人的所思, 所想, 所見, 所聞的. 廣告, 也自然而然成為社會, 生活的縮影. 在廣告之中, 看得到同一個時空的人的共同記憶 -- 社會事件, 焦點人物, 流行用語, 生活型態. 回顧每個時代的廣告, 都可以勾起每一個人的回憶.
廣告即是反射, 亦是注射
廣告不僅反應社會, 同時也是雕塑社會文化的雕刻刀. 舉Media Culture Model為例, 其中則提出傳播的效果, 除社會文化(性別, 階層, 種族) 之外, 仍有Frameworks of Knowledge的仲介因素. 廣告, 即是傳遞訊息最頻繁, 最多元的管道. 因此, 其非常有效地起用潛移默化的影響效果.
最近, 日本牛仔庫將"小尻革命"的概念引進台灣, 告訴消費者"完美的臀部先條=桃子". 而中國時報近日也開始報導塑身中心"教導您如何塑出桃樣美臀"的類似文章; 日本每一年都需出版"おしゃれの日本語”來update國人, 使其熟悉廣告語對於日文所起的大變化.
多少次, 曾聽/看年輕人丟出"只要我喜歡, 有什麼不可以?", 反叛家人的管束?
多少次, 曾在街上, 校園內, BBS版上看到/聽到週遭的人口中掛著 "您真內行"的slogan?
多少次, 曾在活動中, 表演中看到年輕人滾地嚷著 "這不是肯德基!"?
廣告人, 擁有最強的weapons of mass destruction. 他也熟悉各種使用這些利器的策略.
廣告人, 或許是最料想不到的"主戰派",
不斷轟炸消費者瀕臨垮台的"自制力", 解放被俘虜的"慾望".
那麼, 廣告人是否應背負高於"最低道德標準"的倫理準繩?
是否更應謹慎, 避免利用自己優人一等的戰力 助紂為虐?
Another Night
Spent fiddling with the source codes.
I'm getting closer to what i want now, and i'm basically just adding on extra features along the way now ...

光環舞集
昨天跟劉紹爐老師還有楊婉容老師會談. 談到了光環的理念, 談到了光環的搬遷與沿革
談到了他們的想法, 與我們的有諸多契合.
是場不錯的面談
挺快樂的
有空再詳細blog
影音實驗室的電腦太慢了
p.s 我的template在IE上面看起來怪怪的...

[ Personal Confessions] Personalization
Finally got my blog up to what i expect it to be.
At least a prototype of it.
After figuring out my bearings around this template and its source codes the whole night till 630am, I'm finally able to customize my template more. Realized its actually even easier than it was in Modblog. There're some tacky features in Mod which are not featured here. But i guess i can readjust them by fiddling them with the source code. Will do that after i return from my session with Taipei Dance Circle tonight.
Had a terribly rough morning. Heart wrenching.
The rain is coming to ease.
Hopefully the sun follows after...
Cheers to all ~~
New abode out of the Mod
Well, it seems like my previous hiding Modblog is pretty much screwed up already, after losing my photos hosting for the past month. And just when i'm so excited about being back online, it just disappeared. Gone under maintenance again.
Well, i guess i gave it a pass most of all because i feel so much like blogging these couple of days. Being released from the torture of exams. I'm glad its all over... And the fact that i'm kinda stranded at home with an injured foot. Torn ligament.
So, i'll try this place out the next couple of days and see how things go. I still don't quite like this template.
