Oh, come on!

Two unrelated pieces of news.

First, Mr Federer again. The French Open starts in less than a week. Yay! And I came across this article, 'Federer confident ahead of Paris'. Of course, Mr Federer is always confident. After all, he is world #1, what. Here is how a confident man speaks:
'I don't think I need to do much more (to beat Nadal)...'

'I win so much I can handle a defeat (to Nadal) every now and again... Nadal's a very good player, and still young, and I think it will be between the two of us at the French Open.'

Right, he will be in the final. Do note that the tournament hasn't started yet.

Well, at least he did concede that 'Nadal's a very good player'.

Now, the other article, 'Madonna blasted for concert crucifixion'. Singing with a crown of thorns while 'crucified'?? What's the big idea?

It's sad that talented people are sometimes so wrapped up in themselves that they forget about the other beings who live on the same earth, and the Great Being Who made the earth.

this woman will not respect anyone she doesn't want to, cos she's a filthily rich woman to do what she wants. her "confession" world tour this year alone is said to bring her $200 mil! she has the power to do what she wants, especially against christianity as she's always been criticised by the catholics since eons ago. this is her way of getting back, i guess.

sounds sick, but this is the reality in a capitalised world. if you are rich, you can get away with everything in america. that's why there's the term "rich man's justice". a classic eg, OJ Simpson's case.

there's no real justice in this world. justice is with God, in the everlasting life, not this mortal life.

Hi Dee
Yeah, I guess it all began when she decided to take on the name 'Madonna'.

Oooh... $200 million... well, there are certainly many, many, many people out there who appreciate her...

True train school

‘Having eyes, but not seeing beauty; having ears, but not hearing music; having minds, but not perceiving truth; having hearts that are never moved and therefore never set on fire. These are the things to fear, said the headmaster.’ How would you like to have such a headmaster? I finally re-read (read it first as a teenager) Totto-chan, The Little Girl at the Window , a ‘school story’ by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, translated by Dorothy Britton. Totto-chan is the name Tesuko Kuroyanagi called herself, and the book is about her life during her school days at Tomoe Gakuen. Totto-chan was expelled from her first elementary school because of her ‘disruptive’ behaviour, which included constantly opening and closing her desk top (because she was so thrilled by it), ‘vandalising’ her desk (because there wasn’t enough space on the piece of paper to draw) and standing by the classroom window waiting for street musicians to pass by or talking to swallows. Her mother, although probably alarmed about the ...

The Secret Romantic Guesthouse (2023)

The title has an airy, genial feel and the show does have its airy, genial side, but I also think of it as TRAPPED, since everyone was trapped by the past.   It was fun trying to figure out who was who, who was on whose side and how the awful king would fall.   The scholars It wasn’t too hard to guess that Kang San (Ryeo Un) is the deposed/missing prince and that he isn’t really gruff and disinterested although he’s exasperated and rolling his eyes most of the time.  Shi-yeol (Kang Hoon) has the best ‘disguise’, with the nice contrast between his highly-skilled fighting and loyalty versus his silliness.  It felt at times that Yoo-ha (Jung Gun-joo) was an extra but finally, he gets that one brave act of letting himself be captured to protect the rest.   Shi-yeol identifying himself to Kang San as his watchman was dramatic but the most shocking revelation in the show was that the Old Guy (Shi-yeol’s mentor) is the king’s watchman!  Ho...

Be Melodramatic! (2019)

An entertaining look at the media world, although the plot and acting (thankfully) weren’t melodramatic! There was some drama over relationships but overall, ‘good friends’ is the prevailing vibe and at the end, you almost want to shout  友谊万岁   (friendship forever). all their living room chats and meals; Eun-jung's brother's home garb and robes! There is also Eun-jung’s other friend, who is a gem, so for me, this show is mainly about friendship.   It is wonderful how everyone moves in because they are concerned for Eun-jung (Jeon Yeo-been). Her grief and healing are movingly portrayed, and Yeo-been’s acting and Eun-jung’s storyline eclipsed that of the main character.  Eun-jung is beautiful, smart and tragic.   heartbreak she gets along so well with her cameraman Han-joo (Han Ji-eun – Ae-wol !) is cute, smart and tragic.  They both work responsibly and seriously, treat others with respect and deserve the success and opportunities that come th...
