Bioluminescent Bays

聊天時又讓我想起這個地方

真美!

It's at Purto Rico or Virgin Islands... I can't remember now... but it's really really beautiful and romantic! Very lucky that I have been there and done that!



Imagine the blackness of the sea on a moonless night. Now watch it sparkle with the darting lights of a million fireflies. Nature lovers will not want to miss the phenomenal experience of visiting a tropical phosphorescent bay!
The phosphorescence is actually bioluminescence generated by microscopic organisms in the water. It is believed to be part of a natural defense system triggered by the movement of predators. Many scientists believe the tiny organisms light up so their predators can see more desirable prey - and thus leave them alone.
The phenomenon occurs sporadically in warm seas around the world, but Puerto Rico is one of the only places on the planet where you can depend on it every evening at two different protected bays and a lagoon. The best known is at La Parguera, between Mayagez and Ponce in the southwest of the island. A cottage industry in the village is based on showing the bay to visitors.
The more spectacular phosphorescent bay is Mosquito Bay in Vieques, the island municipality off of the main island's northeastern shore. The experience of seeing-and being surrounded by-this eerie light is nothing less than magical!
Trip Advisors members preferred Laguna Grande in the Cabezas Nature Reserve in Fajardo, the East region of Puerto Rico.

Being in the state of GRATITUTE

I always get inspired everytime when I watch my favorite TV talk show - Ellen Degeneres. On the Earth Day, she has a special guest named Dr. WAYNE DYER who has published a fantastic book, "Living the Wisdom of the Tao." He is really into the thought of Taoism and 老子. Inside the book, Dr. Dyer urges everyone to be a giver everday, giving others care and love without asking anything for return. By giving others somethng without thinking anythng for a return, it can make people become more healthy. Medical researchers indicates that by giving and recieving care and love, it generates the level of serotonin in our brain which is the main factor of depression.

Let's all think about it for a secound... Try to remember the last time people gave you care, how did you feel? Must felt very happy and warm, wasn't it?! I'm sure it is something that we could all do everyday.

Jewelry - Georg Jensen

Georg Jensen 北歐設計理念及態度:

樸實、自然和濃厚的人文氣質。每一個線條及用材都有它的功能,不只是為裝飾而裝飾。

設計使用的鑽石都不會只是鑽石,而是用最自然隨意的方式對待它們。就像一個心中無貴賤的人,對待人中之王,不特別敬畏,也不特別討好,只是用平常心將它安置在最合宜的地方,讓它自然展現王者風範。

鑽石的耀眼璀璨及天生的貴氣只是一種特別聚焦的用材,和其他貴金屬及寶石的地位無分軒輊。

用鑽石不是在增加貴氣或市價,而是增加一種亮麗的光線,強化線條的力量。

單純的銀飾,加入鑽飾及K金,在秉持著原設計精神下,提升產品的多元化及變化性,把銀飾提昇到更高的境界,突破傳統對銀飾的思為 (stereotype)。

Education

Education means developing the mind, not stuffing the memory.

Eslite Design Festival

"設計關乎細節,技巧是必需的,過程也是必需的
設計不必然風格,風格卻必定是設計的展現不只是商品、空間,或包裝
是由內而外、表裡一致的享受
是態度、思想,更是一門關於創造與計畫的藝術從空間到物件,
從文字到影像
從設計者到使用者
在每一條通往新設計的路
看見誠品,看見設計"

This should be a very interesting competition.
很期待看看參賽的設計作品

而真正重要的、真實的東西

My favorite book; howeer, still haven't finished reading it yet.

If people can try to use their hear to see things more often,

the society would be more peaceful!

Wind

Recently got addicted to watching Korean soap opera...
In one of the soap operas, a girl described the life as "Wind"...

"It comes and goes without leaving any trace,
Such is life,
The life that is uncontrollable by human beings,
Thus, no need to feel sad or pity about it."
