Image
You may have found that cat eyes can change day and night. However, do you know indoor lighting can affect a cat's health? Circadian rhythm In ancient times, before artificial lighting was invented, a cat was active around sunrise and sunrise, because their prey moved out in the meantime. The only lighting human could use at that time was candlelight which was so dim that can hardly affect a cat ' s circadian rhythm.  What is circadian rhythm? It is usually called a biological clock or body clock that regulates a cat ' s inner sleep-wake cycle and repeats every day. Circadian rhythm can be affected by lighting, as it is connected with the length of day and night. Cat has a built-in reflector in the back of their eyes called a tapetum, which allows a cat to see with only one-sixth of the light that humans need, but it also makes cats '  eyes very sensitive to bright light by changing pupils from time to time.

There are a lot of things that make me happy, and what made my day today is reading a book under a tree floor lamp. The book is written by a Japanese writer, Yukio Mishima. Golden Pavilion, which is the second book I read written by Yukio Mishima. The first one was Confession of a Mask. Whether it is Tsurugawa or Kashiwagi, it is the personification of Mizoguchi, who has a self-contradictory philosophical theory, and the character of the three gives him the chance to release himself. Tsurugawa, Kashiwagi, and I are all the media used by Yukio Mishima to express his reviews on beauty. For Mizoguchi, Tsurugawa is the bright side of himself, a symbol of the true him. And Kashiwagi, is the delusion of himself, doing things that he never dared to try. The death of Tsurgawa makes the story easier to tell, a much simple relationship when there are only two persons. On the other side, the girls in the book look more like a sign, from Uik to the military wife and prostitute. The women in the bo

  #June He, all my hopes are on him, I would like to put my happiness in his hands. For him, to win a burning spirit, I will risk everything. One day, maybe some rumor will refer to your name, I only feel like a rose has been tossed into my room, full of various colors and fragrant. When you like a person, you might have the impulsion to bring him back to the old times, back to the time when we are all so ignorant and young, as the teenage whose heart beats so fast when you just smile. Too afraid to be seen, and not to be seen. My wish is, you will not be sad about the past, not be lonely at the moment, and be well in the future. My wish is, your wish comes true. You look beautiful when you dress up, but that was common, recognized by everyone. The look when you are not wearing makeup, only me can appreciate the uniqueness. On human interaction, especially between men and women, how to say, it is a holistic problem. Ambiguous, wilful, poignant. You are the other half of the poem, half

Today is the introduction of Another Around, a story about the midlife crisis of 4 Danish men. The stereotype for Northern Europe movies is boring, as boring as the weather and character.

As shelter is one of the most important element of daily life, decorating the house or apartment takes some energy and strength to make life easier and more comfortable. The first time when I rented an apartment was when I freshly graduated from college. I was a bit under the weather at that moment that I had to go back to my hometown to see the doctor from time to time, and I do not want to live with my parents, so I just moved out and find an apartment to live. That was a shared apartment with three rooms, and mine was the smallest one. With limited furniture and a small bed. Only a wall lamp in the room that it is not so convenient when I am going to read or just lying in bed with dim light. Since I have limited budgets, I do not have too much money to update. Only four months to go in the apartment, so I do not pay too much attention to update the equipment for the room. That is the first time when I rented an apartment with little facilities. After months staying in the apartment,
