“Up” is the new Pixar movie, a movie that makes people up and down, smile and cry. I missed this movie last Friday, but make it up this Tuesday. I guess everyone is touched from the beginning by the old couple who share their life together. Ellie was the girl who always wants to go adventure. She found her soul mate Carl, got married, but is unable to have a child with him. Initially devastated, Carl eventually cheered Ellie up and enjoyed their life together. Carl sometimes felt guilty that Ellie didn’t get a change to fulfill her dream. Finally, Ellie passed away first, left Carl alone in their house full of memories.

While Carl is up for filling their dream, he finally discovered the adventure in Ellie’s heart, is every little thing they have done together. Life is amazing. In the end, it is the little things that make you feel, make you love and make you miss. It’s not things up in the air, but things down to Earth around us. Look back to my babe, I am fortunate to have her and every little moment. Life certainly has up and down, but I know she lives in my heart !

I am a big fan of Pixar cartoon, Alex always jokes I am a big girl who wants to watch cartoons on the very first day at 3D movie theaters.

Up is really a blast so I watched it twice within a week, I don't think it's only for kids, even I'm not sure if kids can fully understand the deepest meaning in this simple but touched story.

Sometimes we just ignore and don't really appreciate our daily life because it looks way too ordinary, but truly, our life is just as an unique adventure. Cherish all those ups and downs in our life because you never know what will happen next.

Life is good.

甘迺迪國家音樂廳位在波多馬克 (Potomac River) 沿岸的一棟白色極簡建築物. 喜歡音樂文藝活動表演又住在D.C.週遭的居民絕對不會感到陌生. 去年8月我們在此欣賞歌劇魅影的舞台劇演出, 它的劇場不大但是瞬間變換的舞台設計與聲光效果絕對是不虛此行. 如果不想開車去, D.C. Metro的Foggy Bottom-GWU站外每15分鐘都會有一班紅色免費接駁小巴相當方便. 今年夏天馬友友的演出門票在去年夏天早已銷售一空, 美國國家音樂廳的門票難買也是沒有在輸紐約洋基隊的!

若嫌一般演出門票實在太貴, 現在Kennedy Center有Target和Fannie Mae的贊助, 每天傍晚6點都會有小型免費表演供大家欣賞請不要錯過!

關於Millennium Stage每日的活動表這裡有詳細說明:

當然一分錢一分貨, 免費演出你比較難遇的到世界級大師在你眼前出現而不用花一毛錢,

但是的確還是不乏知名的交響樂演奏團體在國家音樂廳等著你, 真的很值得一看!.

免費入場不須拿票卻是有人數的限制, 沒有提早去你很可能空歡喜一場!

Kennedy Center究竟是長怎樣? 我的MSN Space每月500張照片的限制竟然在5號就已經跟我說滿了!?

所以有興趣的人可以去Google Image上搜尋, 或上我的PIXNET (痞客邦)http://blog.pixnet.net/allyweng 觀賞!

我們家老大最近為了一篇即將發表的新文章忙到連週末都要來DTM報到. 要不是這paper的降臨, 我Ally也沒那福分迎接下禮拜二即將來臨的一整個禮拜南加˙洲吃-吃-吃之美食大回味+大探險的旅行.

所以今個星期六我也是乖乖地端坐在書桌前陪公子哥兒唸書. 他念書我Ally可是安安靜靜的看來自家鄉的最新"康熙來了"! 說到康熙來了, 說真的以前我在台北的時後根本就不愛看好不好!? 不止不愛看我還會裝清高的不解為何會有人想要固定收看幾個人坐在那兒的家常閒聊阿? 後來搬到D.C., 完全脫離南加州還可以收看到的新聞哇哇哇, 這裡是除了Yahoo的文字版八卦消息外再無法有"聲色版"的任何國語笑料. Youtube曾經也是有一搭沒一搭的在看啦, 直到我在上海開餐廳的Adam報給我這超級免費大好康, Ally我...我真是樂不思蜀阿!!! 舉凡2岸三地知名的綜藝節目及各式肥皂影集, 一路到最新中美歐強檔院線片, 風行應有盡有. 風行這大陸做的平台簡直就是一個太好了!!! 免費收看的安裝軟體也非常小, 一點也不佔我DELL大銀怪太多的空間, 全部影片都用streaming (匯流?) 觀賞, 看完反正檔案我也不再需要, 想我色戒的迴紋針性愛姿勢就是在風行上免費觀看的咧!!

基於我Ally天生無私的好康道相報個性, 決定今天給它寫出來造福特別是同樣居住在海外的異鄉遊子們, 這風行真的是太好太好用了!!! Adam謝啦~!!! *flying kiss---bu*

P.S. 最近電影真的看的有夠多, Ally簡直差點沒撐死. 有幾部片還是要多嘴的推薦一下: 除了知名小說推上大螢幕的Kite Runner, 還有西班牙導演拍攝在美國狂賣不止的恐怖孤兒院The Orphange, 還有法國黑白漫畫Persepolis茉莉人生, 有空一定要看看!
