很久没有更新space

主要原因是太忙

出了一张专辑，市场反响非常好，发布会现场还请到了很多大牌

 

 

接拍了很多广告，作为零度可口可乐的形象代言人

 

 

还有汽车广告

 

 

度假村也找到了我

 

 

 

接受了很多采访，上了VOGUE的封面

 

 

寻求多栖发展的我，接着参演了一部电影，反响热烈

 

 

首映会上明星纷至沓来

 

 

粉丝都来一睹我的风采，为我加油

 

 

还拍了狗粮广告

 

 

诱惑的内衣广告

 

 

各交通要道也都是我的代言产品

 

 

商场和街边也都是我的宣传照

 

 

商店里的服装广告

 

 

为知名服装品牌做的代言

 

 

人怕出名，现在一举一动都要小心，去party就不小心被狗仔逮住了

 

 

以上纯属恶搞，如有雷同，不算巧合

祝大家国庆快乐

 

 

 

As i was having a after-dinner conversation with some friends,

somehow the topic of Shanghainese girls' reputation came up.
one guy commented, as i quote, "they are great, but they are high maintenance."

 

"Am I high maintenance?" I asked right away on the table.
Everyone avoided my eye and started talking hurriedly about something else.
So I lent over and whispered the question again to D, who happens to be my BGF.

 

"No, no, of course you are not high maintenance,"
he reassured me, patting me on my knee and affectionately re-adjusting the neckline of my shirt.
"in fact, i think you are kinda low maintenance."
He thought for a second, then went on saying,

"i think you are a high maintenance in another way, i mean, on emotional level."

 

our discussion ended there, yet i couldn't help but wondering:

Am i high maintenance? Are you?
How do you tell whether she is high or low maintenance? based on what grounds?
How do we know whether i'm a high maintenance or not?

coz apparently guys are relunctantly to admit before their gfs.

 

 

high maintenance, this is hardly a new term in dating world...
It means that these gals either need you to spend a lot of money on, or to spend a lot of time listening to.
but in case you are not familiar with it

let's take a look at some of the most authoritative definations first

 

Quote:
Broadly defined, high maintenance women are those who need many things (money, material goods) to be happy.
These women love dressing up whenever possible,

and are obsessed with all aspects of their personal appearance and grooming in general.
This almost obsessive attention to detail usually extends beyond their person,

to their homes, their pets, and yes, even their men.
In addition, they tend to be perfectionists, overachievers, self-centered, and a bit vain.

 

 

well...
It's true any girl that requires extra effort to keep everything going smooth and cool is "high maintenance".
And I have to agree to some extent that the reputation for Shanghainese girls is certainly there:

picky, materialistic, and practical.
We are called the "high end", looks like a million bucks, who won't settle for less.
And I'm certainly not questioning the overall evaluation from the opposite sex.
Yet, to be honest, I'm a bit offensed by those comments.

 

If being high maintenance means taking 3 hours to get ready to leave, or the fascination with their own looks.
What's wrong with being a narcissist?
The fact is, appearance DOES matter in today's society. It's not even a question.
Admittedly, when you're with someone who looks good, you look good too.
Moreover, for most independent, self-respect Shanghainese women,

taking care of ourselves has almost become a motto to live by.
Personally, as long as i'm the one doing the maitenance,

what's on earth has anything to do with the other half anyway?

 

 

As to another type of high maintenance, which is on emotional rather than financial level.
I quickly realized that i'm surrounded by those women.
They've been treated nicely, they've been taken to a lot of places, they've been given fancy gifts.
and still, they are searching for inner peace; or some kind of connection.
for them, there's nothing more appealing than a consuming, intense,

can't-live-without-each-other relationship.

 

 

If being emotionally high maintenance means wanting their mate to

"tilt their world on it's axis and begin revolving around their ass".
Then so be it.
At least it's a beautiful thing to do.

 

最近连着看了两个展

双年展和当代艺术展

不得不说，后者的整体水准要高很多

本来今年的双年展给我的印象就比较一般

再和各国最知名的当代艺术家的作品相比，差距就很明显了

 

先说双年展

今年让我记得住的作品实在不多

看完回来发现照片都没拍几张

最喜欢的是一个缩小版的外来务工者之家

创作者把一个打工者在大城市里的真实生活完完全全展示在你眼前

你可以站在屋顶俯视他的生活，从饮食起居到经济状况，没有言语的描述，只是赤裸裸的呈现

作为本次双年展的主题，快城快客，所凸现的问题之一就是城市化所带来的冲击、对比、挣扎等等

我一向很喜欢这类作品

 

 

从上往下看

 

 

一切都是缩小版的，包括篮子里的鸡蛋，和床边的花内裤

 

 

 

城市迁徙，说穿了我们和候鸟没两样

春运、夏运，从一个地方到另一个地方，从拖拉机到汽车到飞机

不知道哪里是起点，也不去想终点在哪里

 

 

双年展拍的最喜欢的照片，剪影

这是一个光与影的游戏

 

 

SH contemporary art fair

在上海展览中心，上海我最喜欢的建筑之一

 

 

天气很不好，所以心情也受影响，下雨天我总是很忧郁

 

 

贴点我喜欢的作品吧

 

 

 

一组名为“there is nothing explosive in this”的摄影照片

我很喜欢

 

 

也很喜欢这种有存在感，空间感的作品

 

 

或者是这种让我很安静，让人思考的作品

 

 

 

或者是这类很简单也很费心思的作品

 

 

去的时候已经4点多了，而且是展览的最后一天，所以错过了不少

好多展台撤掉了，挺遗憾的。。。

 

 

两个展看下来，觉得吧，怎么说呢

domestic contemporaty art still has a long way to go

不是说我们的艺术家们才华不够，而是在表达形式上面，过于强调信息的传达

they try to sell their ideas too hard

希望这仅仅是我的错觉，或者这个评价并不全面

但就我看到的，有些想法的确很好，但有点过

艺术不应该太刻意

 

 

 

 

居然在生日这天生病。。。嗓子完全哑掉了，一点声音也发不出。。。

最近太累了吧。。。连着好几个通宵。。。

昨天没等到零点就撑不住倒下了

今天醒来看到十几个未接来电，还有很多短信

谢谢大家，觉得很温暖很开心

 

发生很多事，不知该从哪里说起

先挖一个大坑吧，回来慢慢填

 

****************************纠结的分割线****************************

 

刚刚发现这篇日志的发表时间是11点11分

>_<"

话说我和这个时间特别有缘，每天中午看时间几乎都不会错过这个时间点

难道我就注定命犯天刹孤星么

再次重重地叹口气。。。

 

今年生日过得极其痛苦

由于我完全不能发声，导致接电话变成了极其痛苦的一件事

尤其是几个国际长途，本来通话质量就不好

加上我只能用气声说话，简直比演默剧还要悲惨

但是！即便是这样病怏怏的身体，生日还是要过的！

穿了最近很喜欢的一件one piece，无敌贴身

 

 

S定的创意菜餐厅，情调很好，在东平路上

非常适合情侣和文艺小青年

 

 

my party的聚会，可是其中两个都加班到九点才出现

两个寿星在饭店里饿到不行，用不停喝水拍照来打发饥饿感

 

 

好不容易人到齐，大家都饿晕了

礼物阿情调阿都被抛至脑后，一桌子的菜在转瞬之间就被消灭光了

接下来开始点蜡烛，唱生日歌（我打手语），许愿，吹蜡烛

来张合照

 

 

thank you for being around

love you all

 

 

4 days prior to my B-day

all of a sudden, everything fell apart

now my best friends are all mad at me

coz i won't be able to keep my promise

not to mention the regrets of missing such a long-expected, well-planned eloping vacation

 

i'm a very nice person, but it also takes a nice person to bring it out on me

if you are born to be a jerk, then you'll have to live with this fact for the rest of your life

stupid idiot...$^(*#%)#(^...excuse my janpanese

 

shit happens

that's all i can say
