The Red Tour

Taylor Swift began her third world tour "The Red Tour" to support her forth album "RED",
It started on March 13 2013 in Omaha Nebraska, and ended on June 12 2014 in Singapore.
This tour have 7 shows in Asia, 6 shows in Europe ,66 shows in North America
7 shows in Oceania, and 86 shows in total.
All the tickets sold out in seconds, and created total revenue $139,212,061 USD.
But there was  one thing that made me frustrated, that is , there was no Red tour in Taiwan.
Taylor said she decided her concert location depended on album sales, and the number of fans,
which put Swifties (Her fans nickname) in Taiwan inferior position since Taylor wasn't as popular
as Lady Gaga or Rihanna in Taiwan.
We Swifties actually made some effort for inviting Taylor to held the concert in Taiwan.
For example, we set up a fan page to let Taylor Swift noticed us and we also twit on her
twitter and send her postcards, but all we did was in vain.
Although Taiwan wasn't big, we still have some famous singers held concert in here
like Avril Lavigne came to Taiwan four times and Bruno Mars came to Taiwan this April.

To sum up, Taylor has announced that her fifth album will release in this October,
all we can do is to hope she might held her concert in Taiwan for her next album.

Maleficent

I went to see Maleficent this Tuesday, which i was highly interested in.
I've heard that Jolie's performance was excellent, and I always like fairy tales.
Maleficent was far different from Sleeping Beauty, the original version we were familiar with.
Maleficent was a fairy who betrayed by a boy whom she be friend with since she was little,
the boy named Phillip betrayed her for getting a chance to be a king.
He took Maleficent's wings away, which absolutely broke Maleficent heart.
Maleficent's heartbroken became the power of her revenge,
she cursed Phillip's daughter, princess Aurora would die at her sixteenth birthday
unless Aurora could get a true love kiss which Maleficent believed that
there was not true love kiss in this world.

It was the same with original version, but what made me really surprise was that
Maleficent became godmother of , she has given the daughter love and care for sixteen years.
So, when it came to the true love kiss, Maleficent made a prince kiss Aurora but she didn't wake.
However, it was Maleficent who kissed Aurora because of regrets and love that woke Aurora up.

To sum up, this version was really different from the original one but it was amazing,
and Jolie made this movie better due to her wonderful performance.

Nashville

I always like country music, so when I found out there's a show about country music,
I decided to watch immediately. It's called "Nashville"
It's clearly to know by its name, Nashville is the home of country music!

This show was about celebrities, both old and young famous country music singers,
and some political issues, and most important.
Well, of course, this show has a lot of country music included.

I thought the plots wasn't as good as the music was, all those music was wrote by their produce team,
and it was what it attracted me, because the quality of music was so high !
and the actors were good at both singing and acting which I thought was difficult
but I couldn't deny there were people with talent and gift.

This show is the first show that began its own tour,
and it was because of all those great music, and their actors who sing well.

I was so excited to introduce this show to my friends, however,
they didn't like this kind of show or country music at all,
which I thought that would be definitely their losses.

  Here I introduce my favorite song of this show Nashville, Black Roses, sang by Clare Bowen.
  It's really beautiful song that you must listen to and you won't be regret!!!

Rebroadcast of School Anniversary

This year is eight-sixth anniversary of NCCU, and I played an important part of this
rebroadcast, this was really exhausted and tried.
We started to prepare from this rebroadcast this March and it was a long marathon,
during our preparation, what I have learned was that always treat others with respect.
My job is to help the producer of rebroadcast to keep track of other group leaders,
monitoring them finished their works on time.
But I wasn't happy for some group leaders always show their bad attitude to me,
and I thought why couldn't we treat others with more patient and respect?
If someone had reason to get angry that must be me for I had so many works,
and some leaders didn't finish their works on time, shouldn't I be very angry to them?
I didn't see any necessary to be rude to others and I did my best to help others to
finish their jobs quickly, I personally thought help each other were great thing in the world.

Rebroadcast for five days finally finished in this Tuesday and I got sick right after it,
I thought I have sacrificed a lot and also learned how to control my EQ,
and most importantly- always treat others with kindness, patient, and respect.

I always like what Taylor sings in her song "mean"

she asks, why you gotta be so mean?

Yes, why everyone gotta be so mean? Can't we show more kindness to each other?

Orphan Black

Orphan Black is absolutely the greatest episode I've ever watched!
It's addicting, I couldn't stop myself from watching this show!
It is produced by BBC American and season two is on show now.
The story started with Sarah saw a woman jump off the platform for killing herself
and Sarah took the woman's bag to steal her money.
However, Sarah found out the woman looked just like her,
so Sarah decided to impersonate the woman and steal her money for her bank account.
Things went wrong when Sarah found out Beth(the woman) was a cop
and Beth was involved in an accident, she was also suspended for killing a innocent woman.
Therefore, Sarah found out she couldn't just take Beth's money away and run
because she realized that there are at least ten clones and they're genetically identical.
Sarah and other clones decided to find out why they were made for,
but there is a killer killing those clones, so they also had to protect themselves for being killed.

During her searching for the truth, Sarah realized that she couldn't trust anyone,
and she had a daughter named Kira was in danger since all of clones couldn't
give a birth of a child, and Dyad Genetic Company which produced Sarah and
other clones really wanted to know what's inside Kira because she was definitely
not a normal little girl.

This show is really great and you can see Tatiana Maslany's amazing performances,
she played at least five roles in Orphan Black!

(All these characters are played by Tatiana Maslany )

Adventure in Taipei MRT

I need to work a project with my classmates because it will be valued by
teacher as our final grade of this semester.
However, this is the first time that I think we can have fun in the semester project.
Teacher really gave us  freedom to do whatever we want.
After discussing, we decided to have an adventure in Taipei MRT by playing monopoly
but with some changes of rules.
We don't have to throw the dice to decide how many steps we can walk,
we need to ask some interesting problems to decide instead.
For example, we can ask any stranger,"how many sibling do you have?"
and we get the answer like "three" so we have to go to the third MRT station from
where we were then pick up a thing to finished in that station and move on.
It will be really interesting because there are so many thing that we can't expect
and everything might happen for we don't know what answers strangers will give.
Although we haven't discussed details for this project and we merely decide we
will pick up a day to finish this, I think things won't go wrong.
I am so glad I chose this class to study and I had a lot of new experience in this class
like how to create a puppet animation from make a puppet to create a little film,
I have friends who didn't listen to my advice to take this class and I think they will be sorry
for this.
To sum up, hope we will have a lot of fun in our adventure in Taipei MRT.

Booking Ticket

I am going to Australia and NZ this summer vacation for being invited
by one of my father's friend  who immigrated to NZ twenty years ago.
I also invited my roommate Judy to go with me and we plan to take eight-day
trip in Australia before we go to NZ.
It was so exciting in the first place, BUT THE PROBLEM IS!!!!
booking the cheapest ticket is quiet a mess !
because our flights are complicated and I spent many hours to deal with it.
This was the very first time that I book ticket by myself and I was planned to
learn how to do this through this whole experience.
Unfortunately, Judy's father blamed me for booking ticket by myself without
taking his advice and I felt I was so unfair because how could he blame me
for the thing I did right and most important was that I didn't know he
searched the ticket for us!
However, I did want to know who will thank me for booking the ticket.

Judy's father doesn't talk to Judy anymore for this whole ticket thing
and now we have to deal with visa and I don't know if I can decide it
by myself or I should ask Judy's father first who doesn't want to talk to his own daughter anymore.

I hope everything will be fine in the end and we can have an unforgettable vacation
in such beautiful countries.
