Unreserved Love

I ’ve always been told love won’t survive
Promises will turn into lies
The world just think love comes and passes through
It never lasts pure and true
But I still believe love can last
It’s your unfailing love that gives me rest
You were there when I needed you most
I’ll never walk all alone
On the cross you died and took away my curse
Love so wondrous no one ever could deserve
Your bleeding hands proved your love unreserved
You’re my greatest joy and treasure on the earth
Make my life a fragrant offering I pray
Help me Lord to serve you truly every day
Through tears and joy I’ll give you all my praise
Let the whole world know your love and grace

Now I still believe love can last
It’s your unfailing love that gives me rest
You were there when I needed you most
I’ll never walk all alone
On the cross you died and took away my curse
Love so wondrous no one ever could deserve
Your bleeding hands proved your love unreserved
You’re my greatest joy and treasure on the earth
Make my life a fragrant offering I pray
Help me Lord to serve you truly every day
Through tears and joy I’ll give you all my praise
Let the whole world know your love and grace

On the cross you died and took away my curse
Love so wondrous no one ever could deserve
Your bleeding hands proved your love unreserved
You’re my greatest joy and treasure on the earth
Make my life a fragrant offering I pray
Help me Lord to serve you truly every day
Through tears and joy I’ll give you all my praise
Let the whole world know your love and grace

A Wedding Speech

Life comes from life. The universe is a living thing made by love and of love. The earth too as part of the universe is a living thing made of love. We experience her love in the abundance of support she provides us such as the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. And we recognize the divinity of her unconditional love and so call her mother earth or some of us refer to her as goddess. We must recognize as well that we too spring from universal love and as such carry a spark of the divine within each and everyone of us.Ladies and gentleman,We are here today to witness and celebrate a passage of life, a passage of love, which Ariele and Martin have chosen to enter upon. They have decided to become more than just lovers, but a family. Moving from onstage of life to another. You have been invited to be physical representatives of the divine and give your support to their union, so as to help make their new path a joyous one, one that is walked upon with wonder and ease. For truly, whether we recognize it or not, we are all family all of the time. Therefore we deeply thank you for your presence as we thank the goddess herself for being with us always.This celebration is not and end, but a beginning, the start of a new process. From my experience it is not the marriage ceremony nor the marriage that is important, but the love and friendship that you share. Those will ensure a longer lasting relationship than any ritual.With all my heart I bless you and trust that all will go well in your new life together. My love goes with you, as I am sure everyone else’s love in this place goes with you as sell. Goddess be with you. Blessed be.

當洗完衫後白色衣物為何會變藍

這情況一般是因為衣物上的螢光增白劑,在某些光源下反射出白底帶藍.使看上去好像有些藍藍地.衣物的任何顏色都是染料染成的,其中也包括白色,而要令白色衣物看上去更光鮮,制造時會加添螢光增白劑在染料內,而不同的螢光增白劑也有不同的效果,有些帶橙黃,有些帶青綠,有些帶天藍.這情況在衣物晾曬時,看上去會更明顯.
解決方法:可嘗試換另一隻牌子洗衣粉來洗滌該件衣物,因為洗衣粉如含有彩漂,過氧化劑,螢光增白劑,加漂,加酶等等都會對白色衣物有些微影響.

洗完衫後件衫變長左可以點樣縮短佢啊?

可使用熨斗噴出蒸汽來修復,補救方法如下:
1.先用枱布或床單墊在餐枱上來代替熨板(因要整件衫平舖來熨,在餐枱上處理較容易).
2.把衣物平舖在餐枱上,舖時要把衣物縮短來舖,例如;衣物身長45吋想縮至42吋,便把衣物平均縮短來舖至42吋,衫袖也要縮舖至理想呎吋.
3.縮短來舖的衣物此時會出現起伏不平.
4.此時用蒸汽熨斗距離衣物表面約1吋噴出蒸汽作蒸熨,但千萬不能用熨斗壓在衣物上.
5.慢慢地把整件衣物都用蒸汽蒸熨,然後讓衣物自然冷卻.
6.衣物冷卻後,拿起衣物檢查呎吋是否以縮放至合適的呎吋?如仍然過長可依剛才的方法,縮短一些來舖再來一次蒸熨.
7.當衣物呎吋以縮放至滿意後,此時才用熨斗把衣物熨貼服.

牛仔布洗後有磨花痕跡要點補救

原因:帆布或過硬的牛仔布,因放進洗衣機洗滌,被機械大力磨擦而造成磨損解決方法:把衣物放入含0.5%冰醋酸(深水埗區的化工原料舖有售)的常溫水內浸5分鐘,使衣物顏色滲出平均分佈於整件衣物,然後過水風乾備註:帆布或過硬的牛仔布,只能手洗,不能使用洗衣機洗滌及高速脫水,可使用白毛巾瀝乾水份,然後掛乾

牛仔褲甩色落手袋度,點洗?

在這裡,先以近年最大路的,帆布手袋染上牛仔褲色漬來處理.其後再討論真皮染上色漬的處理方法.
各大品牌近年都有推出以帆布配上淺色系列及公司招牌再以皮革包邊,制成大大小小各式各樣的銀包及手袋等.細心觀察帆布多由2種顏色紗線織成,1是招牌的顏色,2是底色的顏色.織法是平交織或斜交織
此類手袋最常見的污漬是飲料漬及牛仔褲磿擦造成的色漬,遇上這些問題時,一般人直覺是以家庭洗衣方式來處理,就是衣刷加洗衣粉浸水來擦污漬,沒錯,用這方法是可以除去污漬,但皮革的包邊會因被水浸過而出現滲色在帆布上.造成更嚴重的顏色移染,現在我們要面對的是;
怎樣在家裡安全地去除帆布手袋染上的牛仔褲色漬
1. 工具包括有;乾淨白毛巾多塊,中軟牙刷,洗衣肥皂(勞工硯,超市有售),白醋(食用白醋,超市有售),風筒,清水一盆,杯
2. 白毛巾浸水後扭乾至微濕,以污漬轉移方式在污漬處輕擦,有需要時按著白毛巾在污漬上,使污漬潤濕並希釋轉移至白毛巾處,除污時從污漬的外圍向內處理,避免造成污漬擴散,如污漬仍在
3. 用牙刷弄濕後沾少量洗衣肥皂,然後在污漬處輕擦至起泡,跟著用乾燥白毛巾汲走泡沫,重覆多次,
4. 此時要注意如水份過多使帆布出現大面積水印,就要使用乾燥白毛巾抺乾多餘的水份,並以風筒幫助吹乾,如吹乾後仍然出現水印漬,要用牙刷沾清水擦水印處來稀釋水印,再用白毛巾及風筒弄乾,如色漬仍在
5. 以1份水開1份白醋倒在杯上備用,以牙刷沾上備用白醋在手袋不顯眼位置試色,試色作用是看看帆布會不會因白醋而脫色,讓一水滴白醋在帆布待一分鐘,然後用乾布抺走,如沒有脫色
6. 用牙刷沾上備用白醋輕擦色漬處,然後用清水過潔淨,最後重覆第4點,直至手袋弄乾為止
7. 切勿讓手袋在濕的狀態下掛晾,此舉會造成顏色移染,情況更惡化
8. 到此步如仍有色漬,萬勿勉強起漬,因會破壞帆布纖維,造成永久損壞,建議交專業乾洗處理為上算
在家裡怎樣去除皮革手袋染上的牛仔褲色漬
1. 常用的服裝皮革有光面革、苯胺革、半苯胺革、絨面革、磨沙革、皮毛一體、皮裘等。
2. 以上各類的處理方法都有不同,現以光面革為例
3. 工具包括有;白毛巾,白電油(五金舖有售),碧麗珠(超市有售)
4. 清潔步驟;
l 倒少量白電油在白毛巾上,把沾有白電油的白毛巾在手袋不顯眼的暗角試色,如輕力擦也脫色就要即刻停止,沒有脫色就可繼續,
l 倒少量白電油在白毛巾上,把白毛巾輕力擦色漬,因白電油是揮發性,它會把色漬轉移至白毛巾上,並把殘留在皮革的白電油揮發掉
l 使用過白電油去漬後的手袋,在乾透後會可能會出現白化現象,(即脫脂及加光劑被除去了)此時要
l 使用碧麗珠唧在白毛巾上,然後順時針輕輕打磿,直至光亮
5. 去漬時要有耐性,使用去漬用品時勿過量,每次用量要淺,否則就會發生嚴重脫色
6. 如果嚴重的污漬,自己沒有信心處理,都是交專業乾洗處理為上算
上述乃家用方法,只能以最簡單,最便宜的代替品或工具來處理,希望可以解決到閣下的問題.以專業角度去做的話,我們會以補色工藝去修補皮革因起漬時造成的脫色損壞

永恆 Eternity

作者:林清玄

By Lin Qingxuan

有一次,她告訴他一個故事。

She once told him a story.

說是有一對情侶一起去登喜馬拉雅山,恰好遇到雪崩,他被滾落的雪捲走,到一個不知名的地方,而她則站在那滾去的雪堆旁邊,呆在當地。

In the story, a pair of lovers went climb Mount Himalayas and happened to encounter an avalanche; he was whirled by the rolling snow to an unknown place, while she stood beside the snow drift, dumbfounded there.

她回家以後,常常在夢裡出現他在雪中呼喊的影像,她決心去找埋在雪中的他。每一年,她都去喜馬拉雅山出事的地點找他,一年一年過去了,找了二十年,終於在山腳下找到他。

Her dream was often haunted by his image calling in the snow after she returned home, so she decided to look for him buried in the snow. She went to look for him just at the site where the accident occurred in Mount Himalayas every year. Many years passed. At last, after twenty years, she found him at the foot of the mountain.

那個時候,她已經兩鬢飛霜,皺紋滿佈,而他還是雪崩時二十年前的青春容顏。她深深地感覺到時光的力量。

At that time, she was grey-haired with wrinkles all over her face, while he still remained the same young face when the snowslide happened twenty years ago, so she deeply felt the power of time.

說完故事,他們都深深的動容了。

Both of them were deeply moved by this story.

她問他:「感情是可以永恆的吧!」

She asked him, "Maybe love can last forever!"

他說:「這樣就是永恆嗎?」

He replied, "Such a love is eternal?"

後來談起了永恆,那時他們正在熱戀,都真真地體會到感情可以永恆。

They talked about eternity later when they were passionately in love with such a true belief that their love could last forever.

他們到最後也分開了,分開的地點不在喜馬拉雅山,而在台北,但永恆已經像喜馬拉雅山的雪片,紛紛落了一地,一下就溶化了。

In the end, they also broke up not in Mount Himalayas but in Taipei. But ETERNITY, like snowflakes in Mount Himalayas, had fluttered one after another to the ground and melted quickly.

除非有雪崩,但雪崩也不能保證永恆。

Love may last forever except in a snowslide, but even snowslide cannot ensure Eternity

「三水佬睇走馬燈,陸續有來驚」來由

當年走馬燈利用熱空氣流動推使樞轉,形成樞筒上公仔轉動,是舊時玩意兒一種。陸續即繼續,樞筒循環轉動,公仔不斷出現。三水話音「有來驚」即不斷出現。用此表示,事情繼續而來的,等著瞧吧。
