【怪你過分美麗?介紹 Ocean Vuong ‧ On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous】🌈
一看書名,已覺得「文藝」吧?我不算文藝,更不懂文學,但近年不少亞裔小說家在美、英等國家嶄露頭角,剛好我留意到作者的名字,和他大獲好評的首本小說作品,就看看吧,感覺一新。
說是小說,其實是作者的回憶,以「給母親的信」方式寫成,以自己、母親和祖母的一連串經歷和感受,穿插而成,像紐約時報書評形容,本書並非帶領讀者「以思想達致感受」,而是「從感觀令我們思考」。的確,在短短兩百多頁的「信」,讀者完全進入了作者的感觀和思想世界。
Vuong 非常年輕,1988年生,2019年出版本書前,已經是位年青得獎詩人,在美國大學任教。他在出生於越南,與母親、祖母等家人途經菲律賓,以難民身分在美國東北康涅狄格州 Hartford 市定居,中學後去紐約升學,讀了幾個星期「市場推廣」,不能接受這教「對人講大話」的學科,結果改為學習英文寫作。本書內容也是他的成長回憶,他母親和祖母的故事,還有他的初戀男孩。
Vuong 顯然是一個個性內向、溫柔甚至纖弱的小男孩,自己和家人連英文也未曉,就到了美國這個東北中型城市,就是面對種族歧視、貧窮環境下,也許都不太清楚在發生什麼事。他說,從母親那裡學到,因為言語不通,對任何人打招呼的第一句話,是「sorry」(對不起),不是「hello」什麼,但這也不是因為自卑,就是這樣習慣罷了。(有點像我們係唔係都先說「唔好意思」?)
母親和祖母飽受戰火傷害,都有她們傷痛的過去,影響一生。書中比喻,帝王蝶每年由加拿大遷徙去墨西哥,有些中途停了下來,不能完成,就離開世界了,就是完成了的,他們短短生命中,也永遠不會能回家。至於書中下半部較多描述他發現和探索自己的性別身分,及十分深情和細膩地描述他的愛人,一個與他自己一樣溫柔,但更不幸運的美國男孩。
作者在書中於文體上作了多種不同嘗試,包括部分以近似詩詞(poem)方式表達,而且在文字上對不少字語給他的個人感受,都描繪得很仔細。即使他很小時候已經學習英語,始終英語對他是第二語言,不知是否因為這理由,他對英文甚至個別詞語像是比英語為母語者更客觀地、更敏感地感受,溶入他的思想中。
例如,他問,文字和藝術,為什麼要充滿毀滅,不能以「重生」(regeneration)正面地形容?
//You kill that poem, we say. You're a killer. You came into that novel guns blazing. I am hammering them out, we say. I owned that workshop. I shut it down. I crushed them. We smashed the competition. I'm wrestling with the muse. The state, where people live, is a battleground state. The audience a target audience. "Good for you, man," a man once said to me in a party, "you're making a killing with poetry. You're knocking 'em dead."//
真的,過往沒留意,英文裡,「成功」、「做得好」的代名詞、助語詞等,多是充滿暴力和殺戮的。只是英文這個語言,還是反映人性的一面?為什麼要這樣?還有,我們有沒有留意或想過:
//It's not fair that the word laughter is trapped inside slaughter.//
「Trapped inside」。如此的形容!
Vuong 寫的是感受,但在書中有兩個地方突然「認真」地點出兩個社會問題。第一個是問,為甚麼多種族混血的著名高爾夫球手 Tiger Woods,多數人都只說他是位黑人(非洲裔美國人),而不提他也是亞裔美國人?原來,他父親的經歷和把兒子命名 Tiger 的背後,也有個與越南不可分割的感人故事。另一個他提出的問題,是美國藥廠以混有海洛英成分的止痛藥導致的嚴重公眾健康、成癮和吸毒問題,藥廠大賺,政府管理無方,變相官商勾結,大量民眾成為「北美病夫/婦」。這兩個,都是他身受其害,割肉之痛的問題,也許他也想用他的文字,引起多一些關注。
本書據說正在改編電影,始終關於同性戀、移民、亞裔美國人等熱門字眼,荷里活有興趣也無可厚非,但相信電影難以影像代替作者文字的效果,但希望可以表達 Vuong 眼中的美麗吧。On earth we're briefly gorgeous -- 在這世界我們總能短暫美麗。令我不禁想起,只怕《怪你過分美麗》。

PRODUCTS REVIEW - HERBOLOGIA HOLISTIC COSMETICS
1. HERBOLOGIA LIQUID CRYSTAL NATURAL SUPER ANTI-AGING PREMIUM DAY CREAM 50ml
💡DETAILS: Herbologia Liquid Crystal Day Cream introduces a new standard in wrinkle treatments with maximum strength powerful peptides and moisture-holding actives for a complete daily care of aging skin. It increases collagens I, III, IV, VII, XVII, fibronectin, hyaluronan, and laminin 5, and diminishes skin roughness and the depth and number of wrinkles. This cream is light and hydrating thanks to Hyaluronic Acid and Squalane which attract and hold moisture on the surface of the skin. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 and Syn-TC are peptides with a holistic action on multiple dermal components that promote skin rejuvenation and restoration, improving skin tone and firmness, moisture, and reducing wrinkles. Liquid Crystal Day Cream uses new technology in natural cream making, using a new olive oil based emulsifier which creates a liquid crystal structure within the cream mimicking the way our skin barrier is organized. As a result, the Liquid Crystal cream is much lighter and more absorbent than regular creams, and it will not dissolve skin lipids but restore and nurture the delicate balance of epidermis. Additionally, this cream features ceraminde liposomes, cholesterol, and natural oils Chilean Hazelnut Oil, Marakuja Oil, and Pomegranate Oil, which build and nourish the lipid barrier with a superior moisturizing effect. Green Tea Extract is packed with antioxidants that help to fight free radicals that age the skin and reduce the harmful effects of sun radiation and pollution. Vitamin C in its stable form as glyceryl ascorbate works in conjunction with Green Tea for a much stronger antioxidant potency. Liquid Crystal Day Cream is free of toxic or bioaccumulating ingredients. It is most compatible with the skin barrier, and it will rejuvenate and hydrate your skin and make it appear more youthful and healthy.
✅RATING: 10/10
🔴MY REVIEW: Have used so many brands and keep coming back to this one. The scent is light and the cream goes on very smooth. It moisturizes well, not too greasy on my skin as it absorbs well. It can give me a dewy look. Awesome for dry sensitive skin as well. Definitely would recommend.
2. HERBOLOGIA LIQUID CRYTAL NATURAL SUPER ANTI-AGING PREMIUM NIGHT CREAM 50ml
💡DETAILS: [Skin Types: All skin types] Liquid Crystal Natural Restructuring Night Cream for dehydrated skin is packed with restoring, rejuvenating, and hydrating actives for exceptional overnight therapy with a peptide complex, a higher squalane content, premium plant oils, herbal extracts, ceramides, and non-toxic plant based fragrance. The Night Cream features Syn®-Tacks, a combination of two peptides (Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyloyl Hydroxythreonine and Palmitoyl Dipeptide-6 Diaminohydroxybutyrate), at maximum concentration which benefit the skin in multiple ways: improve structural integrity; improve cellular communication; visibly tighten and lift saggy skin; reduce wrinkles; increase skin tone; nourish skin. Homeostatine is another anti-aging active. It is a complex of marine pentasaccharine and caesalpinia spinosa gum that creates a 3D hydrocolloidal matrix. Homeostatine reduces wrinkles by maintaining homeostasis in the skin, it reduces MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases or enzymes that break down proteins contributing to skin aging), and increases collagen, integrin and laminin V production. MCT oil, hyaluronic acid, squalane, ceramides, natural oils, and cholesterol supply all skin barrier lipids to restore, soothe, nourish, hydrate, and soften your skin to give it that needed overnight moisture. Olive Leaf Extract is one of the highest extracts in antioxidant content. Oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol are two very potent polyphenols that are known to improve skin texture and smoothness, and reduce wrinkles, sun damage, and irritation. Sea Buckthorn is a superfood from the Middle East that is rich in natural vitamins E, C, and A, minerals, and polyphenols that nourish and lighten the skin, soothing irritation and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
✅RATING: 10/10
🔴MY REVIEW: I’ve only been using this for a month and there was an almost immediate difference in my skin. I love their products so much. They have never let me down. It really helped plump my face making me look years younger. Will definitely recommend and would even suggest to also try their full range of products.
3. HERBOLOGIA INGENUE NATURAL SUPER ANTI-WRINKLE EXFOLIATING PREMIUM CREAM 50ml
💡DETAILS: Skin types: normal to oily, combination, and dry skin. Ingenue Natural Anti-Wrinkle cream contains the maximum concentration of Allantoin (2%), a natural acid found in most organisms. Allantoin has a host of benefits for the skin: sloughs off dead skin cells, renewing the epidermal layer and improving the look of skin; reduces fine lines and wrinkles; improves the color of the skin; has mild lightening & anti-hyperpigmentation action; moisturizes skin; soothes irritation; tightens and firms the skin, making it appear younger. They found that it works synergystically with Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, one of the most potent anti-aging peptides which targets multiple skin components such as collagens I, III, IV, fibronectin, hyaluronan, and laminin 5. As a result of the combined action of Allantoin and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, the skin looks dramatically younger, reducing the skin age by up to 10 years! Ingenue Natural Anti-Wrinkle Cream also contains high-end plant oils such as Argan, Borage, Chilean Hazelnut, and Maracuja Oils. Their combination contains the most complete fatty acid profile needed for mature skin health. These oils are extremely nourishing and yet are not greasy! In addition, they added ceramide liposomes, cholesterol, hyaluronic acid, and squalane for superior skin barrier therapy and hydration.
✅RATING: 10/10
🔴MY REVIEW: This product is awesome. Visible improvement in just a month. It really plumps up those tiny lines and makes my skin look brighter and healthier. To be honest, my skin looks better than it has looked in probably the last three years. Friends even notice the difference in my skin and asked what I was using. I’m incredibly impressed with this product and would recommend it to everyone. By the way, I have experienced no breakouts or redness.
4. HERBOLOGIA MYTHOS NATURAL SUPER ANTI-AGING EXPRESSION LINES SERUM 30ml
💡DETAILS: HERBOLOGIA MYTHOS EXPRESSION LINES SERUM is a luxurious hydrating serum with a comples of powerful peptides that target muscle contraction mechanism through multiple pathways. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 builds collagen and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Turmeric extract aids the anti-aging effect by increasing blood circulation and fighting free radicals. It gives the serum a slight tingling effect.
✅RATING: 10/10
🔴MY REVIEW: I have been using it for nearly a month and am very pleased with the results so far. It has smoothed out my tiny lines and definitely firmed out my skin. It surely does what it says. I have researched a lot of serums and their ingredients. This one is absolutely one of the best. Overall, I find it keeps my aging face looking much less wrinkled than it was. Thank you so much for making these great products. Please don’t ever stop.
📌Disclaimer: I received these products for free in return for providing my honest and unbiased review. Please note that what may work for me, may not work for anyone else. Results may vary from person to person, so please take this into consideration if you decide to try those products.

#'94年にゲームフリークが開発、セガが発売した、MD用アクション作品。
ポケットモンスターが出る前に作られた作品であり、開発スタッフが同じである影響から、ポケモンとの繋がりが多い。
基本は横スクロールで進み、高速移動の"ライトニングダッシュ"によりエネルギーを貯蓄、スパークリング状態のときにAを押すと斜め上へ飛ぶボルテッカーが発動、発動中は仮面獣を縦横無尽に飛び回る。Bにはパルスラッシュなる近距離攻撃を装備。
高速で動き回るスピード感やカラフルでビビッドなMD特有の背景の色使いはまさにMDならではの世界と言える。
BGMは増田氏が作曲、StereotypeやMijk Van Djikがリミックス・アルバムや曲を出すほどエレクトロ全開で作られている。
