Marilyn

Had read 'My Week with Marilyn' last week, followed by the movie last evening.  A beautiful story.  It seems it is a fantasy of Colin Clake instead of a real story to me.  But... does it matter?

No actress could replicate Marilyn Monroe in this era.  Not a single one.  But again.... why should they?

Sorry, I didn't mean Michelle Williams didn't bring Marilyn alive in the screen, instead,  this is the opposite.  Her performance was perfect.  I mean we can't expect to have the second Marilyn Monroe in our time.  She belonged to her era, she shaped and was shaped by the world at that time, which had just experienced two World Wars, a world without internet, globalisation in a much more slow way....

Share joys with other children

It's November, Christmas seems far but it's actually around the corner.

Yesterday, Linus bought home a note about Box of Hope charity,((http://www.boxofhope.org/Box_Of_Hope/Introduction.html).  His kindergarten is coming to participate to its annual campaign - donar would pack a boxful of christmas gift for underprivileged kids in Hong Kong or Asia.

You can also join it.  Just decorate a shoebox and stuff in some educational toys and stationaries and send to designated collecting points.

Let's make the world a bit more beautiful!
