眞情的疎通 The Pool, Alliance Cinema Cumberland Street Bay-Bloor Toronto Apr 8 2009

Well done!!
No violence, no fast & furious, no gorgeous girls or boys, no blind patriotism, no extravaganza, no graphics, no noise, no blood.. but it was on true communication.. the most vital factor in life..

The content of dialogue in the movie was so trivial & private that it took some time for me till I realized that I've almost forgotten the real power of healing through sharing small talks everyday.. :-)

A Song.. Shook Me Up and Awakening..: 노찾사 사계

To my confession, not until I heard this song, I didn't know or imagine that we had such tragic part of community in 1980s in Korea since I was just lucky enough without any financial problem under strong patronage of my parents...

The title of the song is "Four Seasons 사계 四季" and melody is as beautiful as Vivaldi's but lyric tells about young people working every day and night through the whole four seasons sitting in front of sewing machine.. to make living..

While I was kneeling down over the white & yellow flowers to smell the scent, they, as joyful as myself, were bending their back all day long to make the machine working for the shirts & pants.. to make small money.. to survive.. in the city of Seoul..

While I was sipping Margarita in the beach under the sun, they, same age with mine, just put the pedals on and on and on fully sweating.. for the sewing machine.. for the small money for living..

While I was whispering the romantic song of Elvis, Anything that part of you, stepping over the autumn leaves in the park arm in arm with my girl friend, they, as beautiful as the maple colors in the fall, kept running the machine.. for the small money of remittance for their parents, brothers or sisters living in the country village..

I was so guilty and shameful when I first heard the full lyric of the song that I drank almost a bottle of strong whisky paying fair amount of money at the decent bar and they were working on the machine still deep at night rubbing their hands against frost bite.

雪中生命譽讚 Mirracles in Life in every corners..everyday, Wolfrey and Broadview Toronto Apr 07 2009

I've been experiencing miracle in life everyday.. in every corners of my surroundings.. I've been learning from mother nature much more than any other classes in university. No other mentors have been that great in transferring their wisdom in that simple way than the sun, moon and the all living creatures underneath.. under the harmony..
I've been learning only from lessons from myself and my colleague human being as a whole for what shouldn't been done, what shouldn't be repeated and what should be maintained as a bottom line .. on earth.. though I am very happy to have those couple of wise men lived on earth..

We have snow this morning in the middle of April though it is not quite surprising in here Toronto. And I see the dark green sprouts at the corner garden with such never compromising green desire to thrive..

All dreams just things that live inside you?
Or do these dreams sometimes come true??
And do the grown-ups happen to???

Sin Nombre, Alliance Cinema at Cumberland Street Bay-Bloor Toronto Apr 4 2009

Absolute recommendation!!
A stunning story of youth standing right at the edge in life but still never losing a hope till the end of time. It was rich, harsh and real story along the road down from Honduras to the border of Florida via Mexico.

Love, friendship, patron ship, righteousness.. are the words lingering around me for a while.. after the cinema.

Cocktail Love vs Russian Para-Troopers vs 옛 사랑

I don't know how many times I've been singing these songs in karaoke.
Many of my friends and colleagues used to feel tortured when I started singing though I still love to sing.. Sorry guys~ :p

Yesterday Once More, Opera House Front Street Downtown Toronto Apr 1 2009

I just saw the old Box Office in the hall of Canadian Opera Company and I also found a plate of appreciation attached right beside thanking for donation for making the old ticketing booth stands still in there.
Opera business has been suffering from the bad cash flow of less and less number of audience and lack of financial sponsorship from the big corporates. Actually all the classic genres of music or performance have similar financial issues.
It might be the time for the people in classic world to renovate whatever to stand viable again in the art industry. Hopefully not too late..
