支持的隊輸了

LeBron 輸了。好失望喔！
不過，接下來的全國冠軍賽應該會很精采，好期待！

看球賽過程，聽到許多球員的故事，讓我對職籃球員另眼相看，有許多得感動。很多感想，有空再分享了。下星期要開始暑期的教書了，又要開始早睡早起了。

Heineken - Walk in Closet Commercial 廣告

我們現在又在看球賽了。繼續來介紹廣告吧。球賽的廣告以啤酒廣告最多。Heineken 還有一個很好玩的廣告。非常幽默的展現出男跟女的不同。在一個『轟趴』，女主人帶幾個好女友參觀，帶他們去看她新弄好的衣櫥，衣櫥又大又可走進去。一整櫥櫃一整櫥櫃的衣服，鞋子排的整整齊齊的。。。。。女友們看到『哇』大家開始興奮的尖叫！同時間，隔壁竟也傳來『男生』的尖叫聲，這些女生一臉狐疑，尖叫這女人的專利。。。竟可能被男人比下去了？！原來是一整櫥櫃一整櫥櫃的啤酒排得整整齊齊的。看到廣告裡那些男人的表情動作，真的把我們給笑死了！

Let A Stranger Drive You Home | Heineken Commercial 廣告

最近職籃打的正火熱，東西區冠軍賽實在精采。轉播過程中的廣告是廠商必爭之地，在這種時間有時會看到一些還不錯的廣告。其中有一首有趣的廣告歌，節奏輕快，歌詞也很有趣，反覆聽著聽著，我和皮皮便也開始哼哼唱唱。
這是一個啤酒的廣告，主題是喝了酒後不要開車回家，而是找個計程車載你回家。而廣告中的這首歌是來自 Biz Markie 的歌 "Just a Friend".

Let A Stranger Drive You Home | Heineken Commercial


原唱歌 "Just a Friend" by Biz Markie


原唱歌詞是
Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date
But a year to make love she wanted you to wait
Let me tell ya a story of my situation
I was talkin' to this girl from the U.S. nation
The way that I met her was on tour at a concert
She had long hair and a short miniskirt
I just got onstage drippin', pourin' with sweat
I was walkin' through the crowd and guess who I met
I whispered in her ear, "Come to the picture booth
So I can ask you some questions to see if your hundred proof"
I asked her her name, she said blah-blah-blah
She had 9/10 pants and a very big bra
I took a couple of flicks and she was enthused
I said, "How do you like the show?"
she said, "I was very amused"
I started throwin' bass, she started throwin' back mid-range
But when I sprung the question, she acted kind of strange
Then when I asked, "Do ya have a man?" she tried to pretend
She said, "No I don't, I only have a friend"
Come on, I'm not even goin' for it
This is what I'm goin' sing

You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
And you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend

So I took blah-blah's word for it at this time
I thought just havin' a friend couldn't be no crime
'Cause I have friends and that's a fact
Like Agnes, Agatha, Germaine, and Jacq
Forget about that, let's go into the story
About a girl named blah-blah-blah that adored me
So we started talkin', getttin' familiar
Spendin' a lot of time so we can build a
A relationship or some understanding
How it's gonna be in the future we was plannin'
Everything sounded so dandy and sweet
I had no idea I was in for a treat
After this was established, everything was cool
The tour was over and she went back to school
I called every day to see how she was doin'
Everytime that I called her it seemed somethin' was brewin'
I called her room, a guy picked up, and then I called again
I said, "Yo, who was that?" "Oh, he's just a friend"
Don't gimme that, don't even gimme that
Jus' bust this

You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
And you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend

So I came to her college on a surprise visit
To see my girl that was so exquisite
It was a school day, I knew she was there
The first semester of the school year
I went to a gate to ask where was her dorm
This guy made me fill out a visitor's form
He told me where it was and I as on my way
To see my baby doll, I was happy to say
I arrived in front of the dormitory
Yo, could you tell me where is door three?
They showed me where it was for the moment
I didn't know I was in for such an event
So I came to her room and opened the door
Oh, snap! Guess what I saw?
A fella tongue-kissin' my girl in the mouth,
I was so in shock my heart went down south
So please listen to the message that I send
Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend
has a friend has a friend......

我們的豆豆發芽了！

講了很久的要種菜，今年我們終於有一點進步。找人來把我們的庭院小小整理一下，騰出了一個小田園來種菜。
然後我們去 Home Depot 買種子，買 StarterKit 來種。 StarterKit 很方便，最適合給我這種沒種菜經驗的『菜』鳥用！一小格一小格的格子裡裝好已經有養分在裡頭的乾泥土，種前只需加水，泥土吸水之後會開始膨脹，蓬鬆。然後我每一個泥土用食指搓一小個洞，灑進買來的種子，覆蓋，澆水即可。等種子發芽，長成一小株植物後便可移植到外面的庭園/菜圃去。

我們這 StarterKit 有 8 大格，每一大格有 9 小格。皮皮買種子時非常興奮，一買就買粉多，所以我索性將所有格子全用上了。目前種下的菜單(花)有：小黃瓜，綜合辣椒，小番茄，大青江菜，紅洋蔥，Squash,青蔥，韭菜，歐芹，綜合向日葵。

結果，我們的亞洲植物大青江菜很爭氣，是第一個掙破硬殼努力的擠出芽頭的小荳荳喔！

梅花與冰球

昨晚實驗到一段落之後才去吃晚餐，在這種時間，我們喜歡去在學校附近的 Uno 打牙祭，一方面因為很近，一方面那邊有 sport 可以看，可以輕鬆一下（well，這是對皮皮說的，不過，最近我被皮皮傳染，喜歡上職籃季後賽）。

就在吃完好吃的 pizza 後，走出餐廳時，我看見這棵就在餐廳門口，開滿白花的樹，『好美麗呀！』我讚嘆著，花的香味撲鼻而來，所以停下來觀賞一下，一方面 check 看看花的樣子，..... 我疑惑的說：『咦！五片花瓣，這是梅花嗎？！』..... 這時，耳邊又傳來熟悉的"可愛的"聲音，『是 "冰球" 啦！』......

（原來他以為我在看窗戶裡餐廳的吧台上正在播放『職業冰球比賽』的電視！）

梅花與冰球，就像我和皮皮，是很浪漫,巧妙的結合吧。
