The opening sequence in “ Eat Drink Man Woman,” in which a delectable Taiwanese banquet is prepared by a master chef, is guaranteed to make you contemplate the non-buttered popcorn in your lap and cry. Not quite as delicious -- but nonetheless enjoyable—is the repast that follows: Ang (“The Wedding Banquet”) Lee’s amiable family farce about generational tension and, of course, food.
Resistance is futile. Road trips in Middle Earth must be mind mapped with Borg precision. There is much to assimilate.

President Snow: Hope. It is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective, a lot of hope is dangerous. A spark is fine, as long as it's contained.

№ 344. Christmas Carol
What's a cure for old age and death? For chaos? For pandora's bane?
When world peace is a sight unseen in a galaxy far, far away, when death and sickness come bearing down on our doorposts, what's the proper response?
The year 2017 will come to a close soon. Like in so many years before it, people will again hope for a better year, for a better world.
World peace will always be a cliche. Climate change may soon be a tired slogan on a fake campaign platform. Gender fairness is so 1990s as one writer admitted.
Humankind is a never ending craft.

Here's an old photo I took in Malasimbo Music Festival last year. I thought it's colorful enough to banner 2014.
So cheers to a bright one up ahead!
