不要忘記

2011-11-01T11:06:00.000+08:00

讓每一天難忘，意想不到，感到被愛: 與真心相惜的朋友維持瘋狂的狀態，不顧一切，懶理束縛，相信第六感，玩，大笑，同時感恩。

忠於自己: 要有主見，敢言。相信眼見為實，不要任人擺佈。不要拒絕幻想/胡思亂想。

花時間於: 你的目標，最後你會發現是值得。愛你的人。你喜歡的東西。這時要有耐性。

別浪費時間於: 虛偽、欺騙的人。不愛你的人。

間中也得去沒什麼人的地方: 抽離，探險，檢討。

改掉陋習: 説話不要那麽毒，不要抗拒別人接近，不要偏執、敏感

就這樣。

- another girl next door thing i saw is the pinafore, dresses with thick straps. traditionally has that sundress/ umbrella cut, but they have made it more linear. i saw this piece which is made of leather, quite like that.

so far im really into peter som's collection. the palette. the prints. everything looks so fun. oh that blue dress with slits. i want that forever.

The Rising Popularity of Hong Kong’s Young Haberdashers

2011-09-12T08:39:00.000+08:00

The Rising Popularity of Hong Kong’s Young Haberdashers
07 September 2011

Creativity from an unlikely source — young, ambitious entrepreneurs– is cultivating China’s homegrown luxury industry. Particularly in Hong Kong, where relaxed taxes and government initiatives appeal to new businesses, industrious young men have created a niche market for haberdashery that is earning serious attention.

Mark Cho, 28, left his job at a London bank last year to found The Armoury, a popular men’s store in Hong Kong. Cho says, “After ten years of interest, I decided I could enjoy doing something more with it.” That’s not to say Cho abandoned all his business smarts to pursue fashion. In fact, Cho’s store was launched in conjunction with InvestHK, a government agency that promotes investment. “The business was designed specifically to be launched in Hong Kong. I think it would have been impossible elsewhere,” he says.

Justin Chang’s Hong Kong-based company, Ascot Chang, also benefits from its location. “Hong Kong’s a good climate,” the 24-year old Cornell graduate who abandoned an internship at a stock brokerage to ply his trade says, “because there’s no import tax, so [bringing in] materials from Europe [is cheaper].”

"The 'made in Asia' label is losing its stigma. We lack the marketing power of ‘Made in Italy’ or ‘Savile Row bespoke', but [for my generation] locally made products have a bit more cachet because they’re increasingly rare. There’s a nostalgic quality about them."

Chang’s store is known for its bespoke shirts, of which it makes 60,000 a year. His success is possible, he realizes, because “made in Asia” labels are losing their stigma. Chang says, “We lack the marketing power of ‘Made in Italy’ or ‘Savile Row bespoke’, but [for my generation] locally made products have a bit more cachet because they’re increasingly rare. There’s a nostalgic quality about them.”

“More and more [Hong Kongers] are cultivating their own sense of style and savoir-faire,” agrees Arnold Wong, the 19-year-old founder of Colonial Goods, a newly launched men’s wear label that celebrates Hong Kong’s colonial heritage.” Colonial Goods’ first T-shirt collection, released in August, teamed up with the 88-year-old knitting factory Lee Kung Man.

Likewise, the Armoury teamed up with popular Hong Kong tailor WW Chan & Sons to boost its image.“They provided a good starting base of customers, goodwill, and credibility,” says Cho, whose store has a corner devoted to its mentor-company.

Wong commissioned a photo shoot of well-dressed men in Hong Kong. The photos, which featured Chang, Cho, and Cho’s partners at the Armoury, have gone viral on men’s wear websites. The success of Hong Kong haberdashers, the entrepreneurs agree, is the close-knit community that they share, both personally and professionally, in an youthful environment looking to create its own identity, fashionably and economically.

有些人，我們如何努力，也是抓不住的。

不要自以爲是，以爲曾經擁有，就可以保持到永遠。

很多東西，是會變質的。

張樂怡，其實你老早就明白這個道理，每一個關係，都是會有"此日期前最佳"的。

人家可能看不透，或只是想著先哄哄你，反正不是他們的問題。

但你自己的感覺，才是最真實的證據。

儘早逃離，就不會損手爛腳。受傷了的人總是孤獨的。

有些人，就算你對他如何冷淡，他還會在。

相比之下，你就知道誰值得你去愛，誰不再值得你去花心血

心血在這個年代很便宜，每個人一開始都自命愛得嘔心瀝血，

但最後只有你發現，當你貧血的時候，該來救你的人是不會來。

也許我是偏激了，但我就是那種亡命感性派

愛，就得到底。

不愛，就得撇脫點。

離場時記得不要遺留太多自己，一回頭看，你就輸了。

Do fashion brands need ugly-queen discount contest?

2011-09-02T07:52:00.001+08:00

Jaspal Singh Sabharwal Aug 29, 2011, 03.19am IST

As Indian fashion brands gear up to meet the challenges of growing domestic demand, the ride ahead could be rocky unless the level of preparedness is high. And all this, as experts will tell you, is primarily because of 'inventory'.

The 'I' word often emerges as the villain-in-chief —destroying brands, reputations and cash flows mercilessly. Is this just a hype or a legitimate concern? First, let's look at what some of the global biggies do. Meet Louis Vuitton, a company that never discounts its leather goods.

It balances demand-supply cycle very well by ensuring that people buy its products for the right reasons—design and aspiration—and not the wrong reason—discounts. Unlike other luxury brands, Louis Vuitton never licenses out the brand to others. Running its own stores gives it control over inventory, pricing and visual merchandising.

On the other extreme, most of our Indian brands/retailers end up selling half of their inventory at the list price (as fresh stock) and the remaining half at a heavy discount (end-ofthe-season sales).

Fashion business enjoys healthy gross margins but the sell-through rate (percent by volume of merchandise that is sold at full price) for most Indian brands is low—45-50%.

This dampens their overall profitability and long-term viability. On top of discounts, retailers end up spending more than 40% of their annual marketing budget on communicating the announcement of sale.

Fashion brands don't really need to participate in such ugly-queen contests, year after year, trying to outdo each other by offering more and more discounts. So, what is the way forward?

Fast-fashion, which ensures that designs move from catwalk to store in the shortest possible time, has been cited as an effective tool to combat such planned customer behavior.

While it reduces incentives for consumers in multiple ways, rapid production reduces gap between demand and supply and decreases the probability of excess inventory.

Enhanced product design, on the other hand, gives customers a trendier product that they value more, making them less willing to risk waiting for a sale. Zara, H&M and Mango have been implementing this strategy successfully.

Consider this: Zara churns out more than 11,000 designs in a season, compared to only 2,000-4,000 items that its competitors offer. End result: Zara's customers visit the store 14 times on an average per year, compared to 3-4 visits per year at traditional chains. Sellthrough rate for Zara is 80-85%. But such an approach needs a lot of planning, determined execution and meticulous monitoring.

However, the fashion sector looks attractive, and this is reflected in the increasing number of brands, even more so in terms of valuations. But clearly, the pitch is changing.

And an advice for Indian brands in a hurry—the ground you are stepping on has wall-towall landmines. Watch the business, the valuations will take care of themselves.

那種既熟悉既陌生的感覺，總是令人感到害怕。
以前我們很了解對方一個表情就知道對方想什麽
現在我們總是會有冷場不想讓對方知道太多
反正沒什麽關係
當你最需要支持的時候我不會在
當我需要你的時候我也習慣了獨個兒面對
知道又如何?
其實如果我現在面對著你
我真的很想抱緊你就是永遠都不想失去你
也許我們會變得更陌生不要變成過路人就可以了。

城市喧嘩裏的一片寧靜
厚厚的白色油漆貼著一幅一幅的記憶
淡淡的米色木板
小小的空間裏微微的電視聲
陽光穿過露台的玻璃在金魚的鱗片上折射
走出露台往下看只有幾個人漫不經心走過
一切都很美好。

也許我會在那裏騎單車 ;)

six months to go

2011-08-19T19:30:00.000+08:00

As you begin your college experience, I thought I’d leave you with the things that, in retrospect, I think are important as you navigate the next four years. I hope that some of them are helpful.

Here goes…

Your friends will change a lot over the next four years. Let them.
Call someone you love back home a few times a week, even if just for a few minutes.
In college more than ever before, songs will attach themselves to memories. Every month or two, make a mix cd, mp3 folder, whatever - just make sure you keep copies of these songs. Ten years out, they’ll be as effective as a journal in taking you back to your favorite moments.
Take naps in the middle of the afternoon with reckless abandon.
Adjust your schedule around when you are most productive and creative. If you’re nocturnal and do your best work late at night, embrace that. It may be the only time in your life when you can.
If you write your best papers the night before they are due, don’t let people tell you that you “should be more organized” or that you “should plan better.” Different things work for different people. Personally, I worked best under pressure - so I always procrastinated… and always kicked ass (which annoyed my friends to no end). ;-) Use the freedom that comes with not having grades first semester to experiment and see what works best for you.
At least a few times in your college career, do something fun and irresponsible when you should be studying. The night before my freshman year psych final, my roommate somehow scored front row seats to the Indigo Girls at a venue 2 hours away. I didn’t do so well on the final, but I haven’t thought about psych since 1993. I’ve thought about the experience of going to that show (with the guy who is now my son’s godfather) at least once a month ever since.
Become friends with your favorite professors. Recognize that they can learn from you too - in fact, that’s part of the reason they chose to be professors.
Carve out an hour every single day to be alone. (Sleeping doesn’t count.)
Go on dates. Don’t feel like every date has to turn into a relationship.
Don’t date someone your roommate has been in a relationship with.
When your friends’ parents visit, include them. You’ll get free food, etc., and you’ll help them to feel like they’re cool, hangin’ with the hip college kids.
In the first month of college, send a hand-written letter to someone who made college possible for you and describe your adventures thus far. It will mean a lot to him/her now, and it will mean a lot to you in ten years when he/she shows it to you.
Embrace the differences between you and your classmates. Always be asking yourself, “what can I learn from this person?” More of your education will come from this than from any classroom.
All-nighters are entirely overrated.
For those of you who have come to college in a long-distance relationship with someone from high school: despite what many will tell you, it can work. The key is to not let your relationship interfere with your college experience. If you don’t want to date anyone else, that’s totally fine! What’s not fine, however, is missing out on a lot of defining experiences because you’re on the phone with your boyfriend/girlfriend for three hours every day.
Working things out between friends is best done in person, not over email. (IM does not count as “in person.”) Often someone’s facial expressions will tell you more than his/her words.
Take risks.
Don’t be afraid of (or excited by) the co-ed bathrooms. The thrill is over in about 2 seconds.
Wednesday is the middle of the week; therefore on wednesday night the week is more than half over. You should celebrate accordingly. (It makes thursday and friday a lot more fun.)
Welcome failure into your lives. It’s how we grow. What matters is not that you failed, but that you recovered.
Take some classes that have nothing to do with your major(s), purely for the fun of it.
It’s important to think about the future, but it’s more important to be present in the now. You won’t get the most out of college if you think of it as a stepping stone.
When you’re living on a college campus with 400 things going on every second of every day, watching TV is pretty much a waste of your time and a waste of your parents’ money. If you’re going to watch, watch with friends so at least you can call it a “valuable social experience.”
Don’t be afraid to fall in love. When it happens, don’t take it for granted. Celebrate it, but don’t let it define your college experience.
Much of the time you once had for pleasure reading is going to disappear. Keep a list of the books you would have read had you had the time, so that you can start reading them when you graduate.
Things that seem like the end of the world really do become funny with a little time and distance. Knowing this, forget the embarassment and skip to the good part.
Every once in awhile, there will come an especially powerful moment when you can actually feel that an experience has changed who you are. Embrace these, even if they are painful.
No matter what your political or religious beliefs, be open-minded. You’re going to be challenged over the next four years in ways you can’t imagine, across all fronts. You can’t learn if you’re closed off.
If you need to get a job, find something that you actually enjoy. Just because it’s work doesn’t mean it has to suck.
Don’t always lead. It’s good to follow sometimes.
Take a lot of pictures. One of my major regrets in life is that I didn’t take more pictures in college. My excuse was the cost of film and processing. Digital cameras are cheap and you have plenty of hard drive space, so you have no excuse.
Your health and safety are more important than anything.
Ask for help. Often.
Half of you will be in the bottom half of your class at any given moment. Way more than half of you will be in the bottom half of your class at some point in the next four years. Get used to it.
In ten years very few of you will look as good as you do right now, so secretly revel in how hot you are before it’s too late.
In the long run, where you go to college doesn’t matter as much as what you do with the opportunities you’re given there. The MIT name on your resume won’t mean much if that’s the only thing on your resume. As a student here, you will have access to a variety of unique opportunities that no one else will ever have - don’t waste them.
On the flip side, don’t try to do everything. Balance = well-being.
Make perspective a priority. If you’re too close to something to have good perspective, rely on your friends to help you.
Eat badly sometimes. It’s the last time in your life when you can do this without feeling guilty about it.
Make a complete ass of yourself at least once, preferably more. It builds character.
Wash your sheets more than once a year. Trust me on this one.
If you are in a relationship and none of your friends want to hang out with you and your significant other, pay attention. They usually know better than you do.
Don’t be afraid of the weird pizza topping combinations that your new friend from across the country loves. Some of the truly awful ones actually taste pretty good. Expand your horizons.
Explore the campus thoroughly. Don’t get caught.
Life is too short to stick with a course of study that you’re no longer excited about. Switch, even if it complicates things.
Tattoos are permanent. Be very certain.
Don’t make fun of prefrosh. That was you like 2 hours ago.
Enjoy every second of the next four years. It is impossible to describe how quickly they pass.

This is the only time in your lives when your only real responsibility is to learn. Try to remember how lucky you are every day.

Be yourself. Create. Inspire, and be inspired. Grow. Laugh. Learn. Love.
Welcome to some of the best years of your lives.

「早前，一個在香港有頭有面的前輩，在鏡頭面前，出盡力批評年輕人，話現在的年輕人點點點，又話『我哋以前點點點』。『我哋以前』？不要在我們面前講你哋以前好嗎？你哋以前仲睇緊黑白片呀！假如輕鐵撞車，你們又跑出來叫『我哋以前都冇輕鐵撞車』嗎？你哋以前都未有輕鐵！那些經常用『以前』來對比『現在』的概念，真係好低能。

「他們每天在屋企飲紅酒，指指點點，根本不明白，整個社會環境已經變咗，現在要搵食真係艱難咗好多好多。環境變了，年輕人自然會變，有的變得憤世嫉俗，有的閂埋門做自己嘢，有的變得很chur。」

親愛的，問題是，我的問題根本跟其他人沒關係，死後，那些問題不再存在。自私，幼稚，天真，不成立。如果我是愚蠢，事情已經解決了一半，我沒有逃避，只是，我累了。縱使未來有更多美好的事情，對不起，我實在沒所謂。反正，困難總是比美好多呢。那不是觀點的問題，切切實實，起碼又中學開始，我遇到的困難比美好多，大哭比大笑少，我很累，你知道嗎？爲何我自己獨個兒撐住的時候，沒有人知道；可是，假若我有一天自殺了，卻被人諸多批評，他們知道什麽？當然，我不會自殺，事到如今，我也很想瞧瞧老天爺愛玩什麽玩意。不過，我真的很累。年少時的憧憬，理想，是廢話。其實，得過且過，也許會比較快樂。

空白格

2011-03-02T10:32:00.002+08:00

其實很簡單　其實很自然　兩個人的愛由兩人分擔

其實並不難　是你太悲觀　隔著一道牆不跟誰分享

不想讓你為難　你不再需要給我的答案

我想你是愛我的　我猜你也捨不得

但是怎麼說　總覺得　我們之間有了太多空白格　也許你不是我的

愛你卻又該割捨　分開或許是選擇　但它也可能是我們的緣份

The way the system works now, you see the clothes, within an hour or so they’re online, the world sees them. They don’t get to a store for six months. The next week, young celebrity girls are wearing them on red carpets. They’re in every magazine. The customer is bored with those clothes by the time they get to the store. They’re overexposed, you’re tired of them, they’ve lost their freshness, you see somebody wearing it and you say, “Oh, that’s that jacket that was in blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.” Or [a] customer doesn’t want to wear that jacket that was in blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. In addition, all of the fast-fashion companies that do a great job, by the way, knock everything off. So it’s everywhere all over the streets in three months and by the time you get it to the store, what’s the point?

''and i don't want to change''

2010-09-10T12:57:00.000+08:00

the saddest thing in life/what scares me
is change.

it used to be separation since i was little
the idea of separation is frightening
death. divorce. breakups.
but sometime, we get to control separation
we have solutions for breakdowns.

but change is inevitable.
and it seems to be the cause for almost everything
including separation.

in early 2009. i said, i don't want to change.
as if, you stupid bitch.
it's impossible
not matter how stubborn or old freak you are.
you will
your hair is falling, your eyes are blinking
your fingers are twitching

and thats why
the most amazing thing in life
is when you defy change
and hold on to things
i hope our friendship last forever :)

and you think that fashion is only about pretty dresses

2010-09-08T19:13:00.001+08:00

To me, the most exquisite fashion credit I can remember in my lifetime was the day of [President Obama's] inauguration, when Michelle walked the parade route in that greenish-yellow Isabel Toledo dress. Because this was a real moment in which fashion, and quite directional fashion, played a role. When I think about the project of T and the Times, I think about that. I think about fashion outside of the studio and fashion that lives on the street. It doesn't mean you're going to repeat that moment, but I do think there's a way in which you can make lifestyle choices seem pertinent to the way we experience the world, and you can draw those connections in a magazine.

漣漪

在平靜水面上, 微風吹來激起的細浪
經常用來形容心理細微的活動...
比如被某件小事激起心中的漣漪...
漣漪，就是水面被風吹起來的皺紋、波紋。

I really thought I was OK
I really thought I was just fine
But when I woke this time
There was nothing to take me back to sleep
To take you off my mind
This time

I keep saying
Over and over and over and over again
Let it rain
Let it rain
Over and over and over and over again
Let it rain
Let it rain

I need to hide within the storm
So have the lightning come
And bring the winds that scream
And spill the fog all over town
And hold me in your stand-still ground

And I will sink down
And you'll be washed away
You'll be washed away

Over and over and over and over again
Let it rain
Let it rain
Over and over and over and over again
Let it rain
Let it rain

I really thought I was OK
I really thought I was just fine
But when I woke up this time
There was nothing to take you off my mind

Over and over and over and over again
Let it rain
Let it rain
Over and over and over and over again
Let it rain
Let it rain

I need to hide within the storm
So have the lightning come
And bring the winds that scream
Spill the fog all over town
And break through every door
Strip away the trees
And raise the rivers high
Just help me drown

And hold me in your stand-still ground
And I will sink
And you will be washed away
You'll be washed away

in camberwell market. we were like, one metre away, face to face.
i think she can tell that i can recognise her.
i can tell by her bangs. her eyes. her nose piercing. her jawline. her height. and her skinnyness. her style.
and her home is in melbourne. so it makes sense.
but no. i didnt ask for a photo. or an autograph.
feels so retarded to do so. thou i kind of want to. haha. wish i was braver.
good to see you. you are one of my favourites.
how cool is it, to meet you by chance.

It’s unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don’t even give themselves a chance to see what they’ll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I’ll look like before I start cleaning the slates. I want my kids to know when I’m pissed, when I’m happy, and when I’m confounded. Your face tells a story … and it shouldn’t be a story about your drive to the doctor’s office.

A lot of my pieces are about easy seductiveness and accessibility in terms of showing skin. I've been speaking to a lot of women in their forties and fifties and they want to look sexy — I think it's quite a new thing and at the moment, there isn't a lot out there for them. Seductiveness isn't just for girls in their twenties anymore.

2010-08-05T20:16:00.001+08:00

其實我很希望你在某情況下，會來這個blog
看看我的近況，看看有沒有抱恙，
我並沒有期望你無聊或有空的時候就來
我知道你是不會的你還是對你的遊戲比較有興趣
試過好幾次當我寫完一大篇垃圾，再等多幾個小時，我就會自動叫你來
不過...我想我這次真的不會
就讓這成為一個小試驗吧。

我們分開都好幾個星期了
可能練習得多，裝得挺好，也騙到人
不過我的思緒其實一直都沒有離開過你
心還是很沈重也很痛，是很痛很痛的那種
我曾經也騙過自己
找來一大堆安慰自己的理由
- 他不是說他還喜歡你嗎？
- 小男生都是愛自由，不愛被綑綁的...
- 單親家庭，會明白感情嗎？
- 他把朋友和女朋友之間的界線模糊了...

不過最後，我還是明白
很簡單，你根本已經不愛我了。
你說你是喜歡我，不是愛我
如果你跟我說好朋友跟女朋友沒差喜歡與愛也沒差
我會說當你真的愛一個人，你是會介意的
你知道為甚麼會有女朋友這回事嗎？
因為女朋友只需要一個那是一個特別的位置
為甚麼要跟個朋友分開盡量避開，不見面就行
但是跟女朋友分開要來個分手的儀式？
因為女朋友是伴侶你們是一對的
朋友通常是一班而不是一對
你明白麼？
我不可以曖曖昧昧的跟你當朋友，因為很多事，只是留給那一個人
如果你認為可以，我覺得你並不專重角色這東西
想想，如果你跟幾個好朋友都是這樣，其實就像一個player
或者你可以說我不喜歡分享
男女朋友，不只是抱抱輕輕的，當愛情被燃燒完，就只剩下感情
感情，不需要抱抱輕輕，也可以的。
那天我去觀禮，才發覺，原來結婚誓詞，是那麼貼切的形容感情

無論安樂困苦，豐富貧窮，健康衰弱，你都愛護她，安慰她，尊重她，保護她，專一於她，終生不渝

我不是想把我們拉到結婚去
只是兩個人，日子久了，就只會剩下這些。要明白，我們又第一次在一起到現在，都七年了
某程度上，那位相處了很久的另一半，也自然成爲你最好的朋友
可惜到現在，有很多事，你都不會告訴我，好像覺得我沒有必要知道，
甚至那個最後的決定，你也是在毫無預告的情況下告訴我。

理性地，其實我覺得你非常自私
不過我很清楚我自己已經愛你到一個，'我根本不懂去恨你自私' 的地步
我很樂於接受你的不好；每次生氣/失望的時候，我還是很想抱住你
而可笑的是，到我終于明白什麽叫做‘當你喜歡一個人，你會接受他的一切’
你渺渺因為覺得這端關係無形，輕易放棄了

我不會強求，只要是你想做的，我都不想爲難你

但我可以很肯定的告訴你，無論發生甚麼事，我從來也沒想過放棄
因爲我曾經相信，我們七年來，情還沒有難，是很奇妙的事
我很珍惜我們的一切，更想過要一直這樣下去
未來的影像，本來慢慢都是你的

我承認我很老土，喜歡執子之手，與子皆老這一套

不過那可是你令我明白的怎麽事情就那麽諷刺

你最近還好嗎?
我會等你的...就算多久也好，因爲，你比誰都重要
就算我跟別人在一起，我也會想念你，你我有過的，實在太多。

July 10
某人說: 香港，一年小變，三年一大變。離開半年，elements外的哥爾夫球場被拆，sogo三樓鋪位被改動，很多一切，在沒有被目擊的情況下，變了。這個地方，突然有點陌生，令人感到害怕。就像自己的家，牆壁被翻新，傢俬被換走，你仍然懵然不知。

July 12
那種態度，風格，好像慢慢被循規蹈矩/盲目/沉悶的環境沖洗。很想念自己畫著粗粗的眼綫，狂妄自大的時光。究竟我是什麽時候變得那麽怕事？最近的記憶，似乎有點暗淡。

July 15
很想回家很想過夏天很想跟你們去海灘很想聼到地鐵的廣播很想看到你的臉很想抱住你很想食牛奶公司很想跟你逛街很想逛街很想照相很想喝珍珠奶茶很想置身崇光對面的大馬路很想去機鋪打交很想跟你們不眠不休的暢談...

July 23
希望明天可以是一個新的開始。不要再哭到眼睛不能眨，把你抛到後腦去就是了。

July 26
很想兩年前的一夜。我們九龍公園聚集，佐敦遊蕩，別人家喧嘩，直下彌敦道，西洋菜街漫步，觀看紋身，流連糖水鋪。你可以說那是很久以前的事，不過，仍然是很快樂的一夜。那種快樂，跟你們在一起才會有。那種快樂，不是短暫的，到現在回想，心臟還是會哼歌。再來一回？

父母告訴我有多幸福，能擁有這這這這這，還有這，
其實，我只想自由，只想獨個兒生活，只想離開你們。
我寧願過節儉的草根生活，也不想每天給精神折磨
你們根本不知道我在想甚麼，就算我如何解釋，也是浪費力氣
反正都只剩下一年半，捱完，一切就是我的

Why Does Crying Give You a Headache?

2010-07-22T23:14:00.001+08:00

When humans experience extreme emotions, such as happiness or sadness, crying can occur. Crying itself occurs when the brain signals the tear ducts to produce tears, which helps the body to reduce stress hormone levels. When people cry due to stress or sadness, a headache often can accompany this action.

Crying due to stress or sadness releases certain kinds of stress hormones from the body. These hormones can cause other effects, including tension or migraine headaches.

Tension headaches also result from changes in chemicals in the brain, including serotonin, endorphins and other chemicals. When these levels fluctuate, the body elicits several responses from crying to clenching the jaw and other muscles in the body.

Like tension headaches, the hormones and excess tension in the body due to crying may trigger migraine headaches, which have more severe symptoms (such as nausea, visual disturbances and dizziness) than tension headaches.

Headaches related to crying can cause the following symptoms: dull pain; pressure in the forehead and around the head; tenderness and tension in the scalp, neck and shoulders; and feelings of stomach upset.

Migraine headaches distinguish themselves from tension headaches in that they may be precipitated by a halo of light, known as a migraine "aura" or severe, often numbing sensations of pain.
