What a hunter with supersonic spear!! , Sperm Whale catching Giant Squid

Finally, National Geographic team made a success
in capturing photos of the hunting scene of
the whale biting a gigantic squid
exactly same with the one in the animation..

it's good to admit the fact that
we have still a world full of mysteries
which have never been exploited by human
for such a long time of planetary history
though the areas are becoming scarcer and scarcer..

優雅 Est-ce que vous êtes une personne élégante?, Cinema 'Coco avant Chanel' AMC Yonge-Dundas Toronto Oct 28 2009

It was dedicatedly her movie.. Audrey Tautou..
After the movie, a word had been lingering in my mind till I went to bed.

an Elegance..
.. a word for.. simplicity, uncompromising dignity, refrained passion, purity, hidden melancholy.. and maturity on top for all of those..

追憶 the Way we were.., Cloudy Cloudy Lake Ontario & Downtown Toronto Oct 1 2009

Today..
I liked to be in the Distillery District for the galleries
sipping lovely espresso from the very old cafe..
I liked to wander around the old market of Kensington
for the oldest but best shops trying vintage cloths,
top quality cheese, fresh bread, and even live concert..
I liked to walk around the beautiful campus of
UT looking at the Victoria style buildings
fully covered by colorful leaves of ivy..
I liked to drink at the patio in the middle of Yorkville
smelling the sweet mood of refraining luxury in town..
...
...
But what I did was just watching the cloud..
the thick & closely layered clouds and clouds in the sky
carpeted far beyond the horizon..
while drinking glasses of beer.. only..

Bye now..
Bye today..

장교의 방 Living as a Soldier.. , Fort York Front+Bathurst Street Toronto Jun 18 2009

I should have become a soldier..
a lonely solider.. responsible for the lives of his men
fighting against enemy to survive
for himself, for his community
and for his ideology if lucky enough..

However though..
I had only a chance of getting 6 months of military training
to become an entry-level officer in the army.
And as soon as I got the badges of insignia
on my shoulders to become a platoon leader,
I got discharged from the obligatory military service
since I passed the national exam substituting
3 years of service to only 6 months..
The opportunity was given only to the qualified students
of having master degree or higher.

I at least enjoyed the military training programs
which made me lot closer to the wild nature of human being
as a man.. only with his own flesh and brain..
of course with the minimum set of weapons for survival.

I am just on my reflection of those days as a man..

Over night walking for 100km
with all the heavy military gears on the back..
Roadside walking for returning to barrack in the midnight
watching movie-scene sort of shadows of my colleagues
walking in a long row under the headlights of 2 and half trucks..
Trajectory of red-orange color of the bullets
in the night by M-60 machine gun..
with good feeling of recoiling for automatic fire..
Military orienteering under the full moon light..
...
and incessant feeling of hunger..
and chilly, chilly and chilly.. everyday in the fall & winter..
I actually like the weird feelings that I had not been accustomed to.. by that time..

비처럼 음악처럼 Like Rain.. Like a Music.. , Mapo and Han River Seoul Korea Jul 18 2009

I am thinking of you
when it comes to rain
and music starts..
Our love.. as sweet as music..
Our love.. like rain as heartbreaking..

I have rain now..
as painful as our love..

비가 내리고
음악이 흐르면
난 당신을 생각해요..
음악처럼 달콤한 우리 사랑
비처럼 가슴아픈 우리 사랑

우리 사랑처럼 아픈 비가
지금 내려요..
* A Place where Peter used to live in Seoul..

不滅 Thank those.. who never pass away, Rainy Broadview Toronto Summer 2008

Yes ..
some human live
far beyond their fates
in the hearts of people
generation by generation
and forever..

What a smart species of human being
reborn as immortal
by just remembering and commemorating
among themselves...!

The dead but immortal people
have been influencing people on earth
through various ways of acoustic euphony,
pictorial aesthetics over canvas and
magical combination of alphabets..
in much powerful and appealing ways
than the holy too many incumbents.

Amazing and amazing..

To live in the world

without becoming aware of

the meaning of the world

is like wandering about in a great library

without touching the books..

trying to forget everything from my side of world..

Just sick & tired of mine..

너랑 자유를 노래해.. Je chante avec toi liberté, Kwanghwamoon Seoul Korea Jul 22 2009

Wandering all around the city
I was literally a lonely vagabond
not only in physical sense
but from wholly logical perspective as well.

I found myself having weirdly different paradigm
than my colleagues in ex-companies, my new friends,
as well as my very old friends..

living in quite different place
in the other part of the globe,
longing for unrealistic idea,
still standing firmly on the ground of my own though,
pursuing totally different new world..

No choice but to be alone at any moment..

Why chorus of slaves??
I don't know..
no meaning..
just like the melody..
sounds like relevantly reflecting the liberty for everything..

.. Just fly higher & further..
YOU are the liberty...

언제까지나.. Emotional Snapshot reflected over the song, Lake Sunset Leslie-Bloomington Ontario Sep 6 2009

Now you hear Peter's emotional snapshot in this morning..

...

Yes.. we need somebody to dedicate the song like this.

.

This is an old song but how beautiful..

how soft and simple..

for one to confess the true thing to the other..

..

Good luck!! ^,~

The End: Nancy Sinatra

At the end of a rainbow, you'll find a pot of gold
At the end of a story, you'll find it's all been told
But our love has a treasure our hearts can always spend
And it has a story without any end

At the end of a river, the water stops its flow
At the end of a highway, there's no place you can go
But just tell me you love and you are only mine
And our love will go on 'til the end of time

At the end of a river, the water stops its flow
At the end of a highway, there's no place you can go
But just tell me you love and you are only mine
And our love will go on 'til the e-end of time

'Til the end of time

'Dominique' for Glorious Morning.. it was too good though, Singing Nun(1963) Toronto Sep 2 2009

This morning on my way work,
I kept whistling this song of 'Dominique'.. again and again..

when I was getting out of my condo..
when I walked down to Starbucks for my White Chocolate Mocha
when I was waiting for the subway at the platform..
untill I was reaching my shop to open..

I was whistling the song.. again and again..

Such a lovely melody & lyrics..

I've been enjoying series of days of perfect weather of early fall..
all day shiny
not a single cloud
even with pleasant breeze..
..

But today..
under the glorious sun shine
with couldn't be softer breeze..
I feel too lonely..
Yes.. it's toooooo good..
gee..
Thank my Lord.. anyway..

아침 출근 길 내내
도미니끄 란 노래가 머리를 떠나지 않았다.
작게.. 혹은 제 소리를 다해서
휘파람을 불렀다..

집을 나서며,
열차를 기다리며,
지하철을 빠져 나오며
일터에 다다를 때 까지..
내내 휘파람을 불렀다.

수녀님들이 오래 전 불렀던 그 노래가
내 머리에서 떠나지 않았다..
...

그런데..
오늘은 날씨가 너무 화창해..
늦 여름의 산들 바람도 너무 부드러워..
무지 무지.. 쓸쓸하다..

9中隊 9th Company: Kind of Real War Movie..

which I really like you to see.. if any chance..

Nobody answers on why they fight against what..
They just wish themselves luck and fight to survive..

Horrible.. horrible apocalypse..

9 중대..
제대로 만든 전쟁 영화야. 기회가 되면 보렴.
어느 누구도 그들이 왜, 뭘 위해 싸워야 되는 지 말해 주지 못해.
그들은 단지 서로의 운을 빌 뿐이며 살아남기 위해 싸우지..
정말 지독해.. 끔찍한 지옥이 따로 없어..

Beautiful People for Beautiful Cubano Music , Polo Montanez & Bueno Vista Social Club

I respect them to sing & perform together..
I also see their mutual respect with each other through their eyes while they do their own job for their beautiful music as a perfect team.
I feel how much they've been proud of each other for such a long time..
Though almost all members have been passed away, their beautiful music will be resonated forever in the hearts of those who love their music..

As for Polo Motanez, one of my friends from Cuba brought me Polo's best album 'Natural' after his visit to his hometown in Cuba. All the songs were so lovely that I listened to only his album for straight two weeks. Such a beautiful music.. Sadly enough, I heard he also passed away by traffic accident..

Their music is immortal though...

That's what I'm doing & feeling right in here..

I am soooooooooo Happy..

Forever 'Star Trek' !! , AMC Cinema Yonge-Dundas May 13 2009

It's kind of 'back to the future' to see this old but great TV series resurrected on screen with all the ultra fine graphic animations.
The most impressive scene was on Mr. Spock who joined again Star Trek on the wide screen .. He looked much much older than I expected.. His image of extreme intelligence without any emotional disturbance has gone.. I was reading instead mildness, calmness and good modesty on his face..

How much did I admired by his long Sharp ears of the Vulcan tribe. How much did I amazed by the wrapping of space of the crews from the ship to somewhere in the anonymous planet though it was done by crude special effects. And how much did I become comfortable for the plausible world of living peacefully together with the weird-looking extra-terrestrial people with green blood...

Like other outcomes of human brain works of poems, plays and music etc, the SF series were weekly gateways to the other part of paradigm, a good escape from the suffocating reality and a buzzing catalyst to boiling the pot of imagination to expand far beyond of my own.. More on top of those, Star Trek gave me lots more specific episodes in which made me more accustomed to approaching challenging things with more logical ways of thingking under scientific projection.

The movie was just good enough to triggering me the nostalgic fractions of memories of those pure age of my youth of full of curiosity and full of expectation for the bright future...

Wish I could fly.. Viva Mr. Miyazaki~~ :-)

Hopefully you have chance to see the animations of Hayao Miyazaki.. Every scenes are so beautiful and the story is very much creative and serious. And don't forget to try yellow popcorn.. :-)

To my confession.., I saw 'Porco Rosso' almost 10 times, 'My Neighbor Totoro' more than that, and 'Howl's Moving Castle' for another 10 times.. etc etc. Please don't laugh, mr.. :-)

I think that dreaming is always good whatever it is.. As I think back, I used to find myself standing just in the middle of my dream.. in real space.. And as the things happened again and again, the dreaming wasn't just day dreaming anymore... :p
