Happy Walk Happy Walk 夢を探して　森を　歩こう
Lonely Walk Lonely Walk 風に吹かれて　一人　歩こう

瞳の中にうつる　みどりの世界が
きみに勇気をくれる　何もおそれない

いつでも　一人じゃない
森の優しさに　抱かれる時　人は
強く生きる事　思い出すよ
Happy Walk Happy Walk　空を見上げて　一人　歩こう

Happy Song Happy Song　誰も知らない　歌が　流れる
Lonely Song Lonely Song　耳を澄ませば　いつも　聞こえる

心の中に響く　不思議なメロディー
僕に勇気をくれる　夢を忘れない

悲しい　時はいつも
森の優しさが　懐かしくて　一人
みどりの小道を　歩き出すよ
Happy Song Happy Song　広い世界が　君を待ってる

Happy Walk Happy Walk　夢を探して　森を　歩こう
Lonely Walk Lonely Walk　風に吹かれて　一人　歩こう
Happy Song Happy Song　誰も知らない　歌が　流れる
Lonely Song Lonely Song　耳を澄ませば　いつも　聞こえる

Happy Walk Happy Walk　夢を探して　森を　歩こう

Take a look at the video clip below – it’s AWESOME!!! I can’t imagine doing my own wedding like that, but it really looks like it’s a lot of FUN!

YouTube to help creators of one-hit wonder videos make money
(article from news.com.au)

* One-hit wonders to get ad revenue
* Extension of YouTube’s revenue plan

YOUTUBE has offered a way for creators of videos which become a big hit to cash in on their success.

The Google-owned video-sharing site said in a blog post that it was expanding its YouTube Partnership Program to the creators of successful “one-off” videos.

The program had previously focused on what YouTube described as “prolific users who regularly produce videos that reach a wide audience”.

“Now, when you upload a video to YouTube that accumulates lots of views, we may invite you to monetise that video and start earning revenue from it,” said YouTube product manager Shenaz Zack.

One recent example of a clip that became a global phenomenon was the JK wedding dance video, which showed a Minnesota couple’s wedding party performing an entrance dance routine.

It was seen more than 10 million times in less than a week and picked up by various TV news outlets. But according to YouTube executives, the makers never made any money from the clip.

YouTube said a user whose video is eligible would receive an email and an “Enable Revenue Sharing” message would appear next to the video.

“Once you’ve chosen to enable revenue sharing, YouTube will sell advertising against your video and pay you a revenue share,” YouTube said.

YouTube did not reveal a breakdown of the proposed revenue share.

It said individual video partnerships would only be available in the US for now but that it hopes to extend the program internationally soon.

Google bought YouTube in 2006 for $US1.65 billion ($1.97 billion) but the California-based internet search and advertising giant has not yet managed to turn a profit with the site despite its massive global popularity.

“人生のメリーゴーランド” 是 Howl’s Moving Castle 的主題曲. 可是這音樂我有在其他地方聽過… 還是這只是久石讓的改版?

我個人滿喜歡久石讓的音樂. 連車子也有播Ghibli音樂. 當然我也超愛Ghibli的動畫, 家裡幾乎全部有 (除了Howl’s Moving Castle和之後的新電影). 上次去日本買了Ghibli音樂樂譜 (只買了beginner’s level), 有空可以彈鋼琴relax一下~ 音樂盒版本的音樂有點讓人想睡覺, 演奏版卻有震撼感. 音樂創作嗎…? 當中也有偉大的學問….

大概兩個月之前, 我手機不知道什麼時候掉在地上, 第一次發現有個角落的塑膠chipped. 自從那一天, 感覺我的flip phone一天比一天”鬆”… 連朋友用我手機都怕上面會斷掉. 講話偶而會斷線 (不過這可能跟我住的地方有關). 朋友說: “ET妳趕快換電話啦!!” 說著說著, 剛好這週末看見有幾個朋友已經在用 iPhone, 也有好幾個朋友建議我換 iPhone…

直到剛剛這星期天晚上, 手機放在沙發上, 我想要拿起手機, 結果是不小心把手機甩到地上 ><" 嗯... 這次上面真的斷了一半. 突然想起我資料好像都只是存到手機上 (以前不會設定, 後來懶得設), SIM card 沒資料. 趁著還看的到畫面, 我花了大概一個小時時間把資料備分進電腦. B想說幫我把電話接回去. 是接回去了, 可是上面要tilt到某些角度才會有畫面. 再過了沒多久, 就完全沒畫面了 T^T 前面的時間還是有顯示, 有人打電話來還是能看到. 不過就沒辦法看sms訊息或 miss call了.

前天星期一, 沒想到真的給我兩個sms. 不知道是誰寄來的, 也看不到內容. 想打回去... 也不知道對方是誰. 幸好我還記得一點點menu操作, 好不容易回了電話給這兩個人. 晚上講完第二通電話, 電話再次斷掉. 想說關機, 也關不了 ~"~ 真的完全壞了. 只好把電池拿出... 這手機2005年12月買的, 到2009年8月終於用盡了它的"lifespan".

直到我找到新手機之前, 我會先借我弟以前的手機用. 這手機是黑白的, 偶而會閃藍燈綠燈, 充滿十年前的手機音樂風 (beeleebala), 有基本的通話訊息功能. 雖然沒現在的手機先進, 看起來比較 old school, 這簡單撲素的手機還是很好用! 至於我會不會真的換 iPhone... 這要再看看吧. ちょっとめんどくさい :P

I am really happy to see that the youth group is flourishing, and that God is there to guide us. I hope everyone who attended had a great time!
