Everything started in 2000. Finaca Museum is an expansion of the Grupo Barón de Ley outside of La Rioja region and an open air vine museum. The winery is located in Cigales DO, in the heart of Castilla y Leon and west of Ribera del Duero. The region enjoys Continental climate with huge diurnal temperature change which providing an ideal growing environment for the grapes to ripen slowly but maintain their acidity.
What I have in my glass is Finca Museum Reserva 2015. This wine is made with 100% Tempranillo, locally known as Tinta del País. Sourcing from 70-year-old vineyards planted in clay-limestones soils with an altitude 800 meters above sea level. The Reserva goes through 22 months ageing in new French oak and additional 15 months in the cellar before releasing to the market.
This wine is deep ruby red with blue hue with exuberant aromas of red and black fruit notes with violet, all spice, vanilla, and menthol. The tertiary notes has started to unfold itself, leather, coffee and dark chocolate. Thanks to its bright acidity, the wine tastes vibrant and full of energy.
I asked Chef Bruce to recreate the dish, ibérico ham with scrambled eggs, we had in La Boqueria, Barcelona years ago. This dish is usually served for breakfast or lunch. This pairing not only works wonderfully but bring us back to our sweet memory in Spain. ¡Salud!

【給自己一個機會紅起來】❤️
Give Yourself A Chance To Shine
如果說宇宙的力量可以分為五種，那那五種力量就是金、木、水、火和土了。
世界萬物萬事都能以這五行去分類，而每個人的八字就是這五行的獨特混合體。這混合體遇到外在人事物的五行力量時，就會產生不同的吉凶禍福局面。
我個人經驗是，就算有著同樣八字的雙胞胎，也不會有一模一樣的命運，因為面相有細微之分，姓名的字義、音韻、筆畫和含義也會有不同的靈動力，影響著雙胞胎的命運。
看命，關鍵就在於找出自己需要的五行是什麼。這很考經驗，不是把八字裡的五行加減乘除一番就能斷出。如果這第一步搞錯，全盤的分析就會錯得一塌糊塗了。
在捉準需要的五行後，再來就是引導客人如何在衣食住行方面去補運，進而趨吉避凶。坦白說，如果客人不照著做，其實來看命也沒什麼意思。
知道未來好或不好，然後就聽天由命嗎？那豈不是只是花錢，來聽我說出你人生電視連續劇的劇透而已嗎？
我見了那麼多客人後，自己有個感想。如果人生一切都很安好，但自己就是開心不起來，這樣活著如行屍走肉，太痛苦了。
在批八字時，我都會告訴客人該用什麼顏色來旺自己。不要小看色彩學，每個顏色都有它們的五行。我也多次以色彩學，幫助一些客人應徵成功，在疫情期間依然能奏效。
但在七彩繽紛的顏色當中，只要我一提到紅色，客人們的反應普遍都很大。
什麼？那麼亮啊？
我的老婆說看不慣我穿這色！
那不是天天過年嗎？
我以前的命理師也是這麼說，
但我就是沒有做。
我的答案：你穿了幾十年這樣的顏色，也不見得你好。想命好一點，何不試一下我說的顏色？
紅能分出深淺、濃淡、明暗和不同的色度。沒有人叫你每天穿得像紅包似的。你每天穿黑，也不見得你像包青天那般的黑白分明。
附上A小姐和B先生「走紅」後的個別見證。
寫這電郵見證的B先生，在九月與我做了個後續諮詢。我遠遠看到他時，就已在想，怎麼身上絲毫沒有改變，而且還一副苦瓜臉？
他說，當初我三月見他時，他剛買了一堆衣服。顏色雖不利他，但他不捨得丟，而且老婆也不支持他穿紅色。公司裡的人也都是穿暗色的。
我說，那些新衣你也穿了幾個月了，可以拿去捐給有需要的人，佈施也不算浪費。老婆固然好意，但命是你自己的，你痛苦只有你自己知。
對待自己的命運，我們應該持有科學家的研究精神。你不去做這個實驗，你永遠不會知道我說的到底對不對。做這個實驗不難，不妨叫你的太太給你一個機會去改變。
換衣服顏色而已，又不是叫你換老婆。😂
與其內心糾結直到頭腦打結，我永遠選擇踏出第一步試一下。Never try, never know.
我一生人經歷了那麼多起起落落，老實告訴大家，命好起來時，心豁然開朗時，那種感覺真的很爽。不信，你試一下。

If the energies in the Universe can be categorised, they would come in the 5 forms of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth.
All manifestations, be it things or events, in this world falls under these 5 elements, and each and every one of our Bazi is the combination of these 5 elements. The interaction between these elements in our Bazi and those in our circumstances will result in myriad of happenings, good fortunes or otherwise.
My personal experience tells me that even though 2 person may have exactly the same Bazi, but their destinies may turn out different. Reasons being the discrepancy in their facial features, the meanings, tonality, character strokes and essence of their names.
The crux of reading your own destiny lies in uncovering which of the 5 elements is or are mandatory for you. This calls for plenty of practical experience. It is not simply doing simple math of plus, minus, multiply and divide. If this first step is wrong, the whole deck of cards will surely collapse.
After deciphering the correct element, the next step is do guide the client on how to use it to boost their energies in all aspects, from external clothing and living environment to what they eat so as to attract good tidings and ward off misfortunes. Frankly, if the client is uncooperative, the whole of point of Bazi analysis would have been lost.
To know how your future will unfold but behave like a sitting duck? That’s just like buying a movie ticket to watch a preview of your life drama, isnt it?
I had this thought after seeing so many clients: if one’s life is seemingly smooth sailing but one remains unhappy, such zombie-like existence is very painful.
During a typical Bazi analysis session, I would always recommend the client certain colours favourable to him or her to boost the luck. Never underestimate the power of colours. Each colour has its own elemental nature. I have used this successfully several times to help clients succeed at their job interviews, even during this pandemic period.
However as soon as I mentioned the red colour, reactions from my clients tended to be bigger than usual.
Why?
Such a bright colour?
My wife said she’s not used to me in this colour!
That’s like Chinese New Year everyday!
The previous master I consulted said so too, but I did not heed the advice.
My answer: if you have been wearing your same old colours for the past many years and getting not much favours from Lady Luck, why not give my suggestion a try?
There are many tones and shades of Red. Nobody is asking you to dress like a big red ang bao (red packet) everyday. Dressing black everyday doesn’t make you Justice Bao either.
Attached are testimonies from Miss A and Mr B after they went red.
Mr B. came to me in September for a follow-up consultation. When I saw him from afar, I was thinking why there wasn’t any sign of change in him. He even sported a sour face.
He told me that after seeing me in March, he had just bought some clothes in colours that were unfavourable to him. He couldn’t bear to throw them away, and his wife didn’t really support him wearing red either. He said his colleagues were all wearing darker colours.
I told him that those clothes he bought had already served him for several months and he could donate them away. That would not constitute wastage. His wife may have good intentions but your destiny is your own business and only you know your sufferings.
We ought to treat our destiny with the spirit of a scientist. If you don’t experiment, you will never know if my methods work. This experiment is a simple one, ask your wife to support you this once.
It’s only changing the colour of your clothes, not asking to change your wife. 😂
Rather than getting oneself in knots, I will always choose to take the first step. Never try, never know.
My life’s journey has been that of ups and downs. Frankly speaking, when the winds begin blowing in your sails, and lift your spirit, those emotions are exhilarating. Don’t believe me? Try it out yourself.

【你知道「暮光世界」的真意嗎？
看懂《天能》英文台詞的秘密】
上回分享了《天能TENET》的
趣味「回文」Palindrome
👉https://bit.ly/2Db2nO4
這次來聊聊片中的特殊詞句
-
首先，是主角常掛在嘴上的暗語：
We live in a twilight world,
and there are no friends at dusk.
我們活在一個暮光世界
黃昏時沒有朋友
其實「暮光世界」有特殊涵義
絕對不（只）是在調侃
演過 #暮光之城 的 #羅伯派汀森😂
來看看字典的解釋：
Twilight World
1. a strange situation involving mystery, dishonesty etc.
>>The twilight world of espionage.
牽扯到神秘、不實的奇特情況
>>間諜的暮光世界
2. a situation of confusion or uncertainty, which seems to exist between two different states or categories.
困惑不明的情況，好似介於兩種不同的狀況或類別之間
所以 #諾蘭 編寫的台詞
一方面在形容國際間諜的機密世界
一方面能象徵雙向時間軸的詭異狀態
就像IMDb電影網站的故事大綱：
Armed with only one word, Tenet, and fighting for the survival of the entire world, a Protagonist journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time.
-
此外，主角在片中沒有名字
只被稱為「主人翁」：
Protagonist
主角、主人公，負責推進故事的人
反義詞（antonym）就是
反派、對立角色，主角的主要敵人
Antagonist
大家應該都很熟悉這兩個字的字首
pro- 正面，支持
anti- 反對，對抗
-
其它電影相關單字：
entropy: 熵
espionage: 間諜，特務活動
forged: 偽造的
infiltrate: 潛入，滲透
inversion: 相反，倒置
hypothermia: 體溫過低
recruit: 招募
paradox: 悖論，似是而非的說法
pincer movement: 鉗形攻勢
plutonium: 鈽
temporal: 時間的
-
最後來看一段有趣的外媒評價：
“If Nolan has out-Nolaned himself, it’s in the action set-pieces which, despite being of head-scrambling technical intricacy, are sharper than Occam’s razor and carried off with astonishing economy.”
第一句竟然將「諾蘭」
變成了動詞 out-Nolan！？
out- 字首有勝過、超越的意思，例如
outwit: 智勝、智取
outperform: 表現勝過
outdo: 超越、優於
因此這裡的意思可理解成
Nolan has outdone himself
諾蘭超越了他自己
（比諾蘭更諾蘭的故事）

分享 | “We thought we know”
#全球意識機制
#回到內在權威與策略
#別無選擇
#寫在課前
瑪麗安（Mary Ann）在開今天的線上工作坊之前，錄了一個前導影片，說明全球意識機制（Global Conscious Program）的背景，以及這個機制和當下混亂焦慮的大環境之間的關聯。
看完了六集的影片，有些部分艱深難懂。而我心有顫動的（moved），是她在字裡行間不斷提醒的，除了這個去「機制」以外的，種種溫暖。
做筆記時，我不想將她說的某些話翻譯成中文（儘管有字幕），選擇用英語抄下。有些話，聽了不自覺想要紀錄。
1.
“We thought we know how our life can unfold.”
這句話中的”unfold”在中文的意思是「開展」、「顯露」。大意是「我們以為我們知道自己的生命可以如何開展」。事實是，我們根本無法控制什麼。這和另一句相關。
2.
“I wasn’t in charge.”
“We are not in charge.”
瑪麗安在兩個影片中各提了一次。
這並不是說，我們無法為自己的生命負責。或者，我們的生命只能交由他人任人宰割。
我的理解是，這是將人類圖設計以外的，更宏觀的「全球意識機制」帶入討論中。這要說明的是，整個宇宙由始至終都在進化著；而人類，是進化中的「一環」。
有個說法，較白話的意思是：「人看待事物，就只能是由人的角度出發的。」
而「我怎麼會相信，我是有選擇的呢？以為自己能掌握什麼呢？」
3.
“Bigger program is not interested in human.”
“We cannot trust anything out there. It’s the program unfolding.”
我的人生「開展」之外，宇宙也在「開展」她自己。
人類在乎「人類的進化」，但宇宙有她本身的「大愛無情」。自然災害可以是「機制」的一部分，即便我們無法理解。
一切就如其是。
It is what it is.
而當我們的腦袋還在尋找原因，分析解釋，套入理由。事實就是在那邊，它就是發生了。我們尋找各種原因，說服自己「其實是可以避免的」、「要不是當出如何如何，就不會這樣了」。
除了我們的內在權威與策略，沒有任何其他權威是可以相信的，包括我們的頭腦（mind）。
4.
“There is no mutation in fixed crosses.”
“It’s not bad.”
“It couldn’t be prevented.”
機制中沒有突變。
這一切的進程都是固定的。也不是任何人的錯。這就是會到來的。
我忽然想起，《Avengers》裡的奇異博士到底是預見了什麼，於是走上了他得走的路。
我們以為我們控制了什麼？到頭來到底是什麼控制了什麼？
5.
“Even if I die, I know it is part of the program.”
我們該怎麼解釋死亡呢？
由於疫情而過世的人，是自找還是命定的呢？這命定，是機制的使然，還是更高自我的安排？沒有答案。
瑪麗安只說了，死亡是整體機制的一部分；即便她走了，她也不擔心。她明白是怎麼回事。
我感受到一種深深的無奈。我不確定，那是不是臣服的開始。而由此，我才離「別無選擇」的感覺又進了一步。我們以為萬事都在我們的掌控之中，而實然，這地球之外諸多事務，又豈是我們能「知」。
6.
“Be aware of what your mind is telling you, about you, and your life; and what you should do, and what you shouldn’t do. Just don’t believe it. Life is so much better when we don’t believe what the mind says.”
頭腦怎麼會願意相信，它不是無所不知的。
而我們的焦慮，很大程度上，來自於情緒的緊張、直覺的恐懼和頭腦的焦慮。
頭腦的各種剖析，有其實用價值，但就是對於我們自身的決定，毫無助益。而我們是如何的深陷其中，不能自拔；在戲棚下站久了，入戲太深。深陷於痛苦，卻不願意脫離。
這戲好逼真。
但我們連戲棚什麼時候會收，都不知道。
我們計畫了許久的事情，也未必會實現。進入個體人的時代，以不變應萬變。
這個不變可以是什麼？
那是瑪麗安提醒我們的，回到內在權威與策略。
在英語裡，用的字是”honour”，榮耀你自己。
“Honour your way of making a decision.”
.
.
.
可是說了那麼多，在那些有聽沒有懂的語句裡，總還是有能聽進心坎裡的。
「這些機制、這些知識很美好的，但我在乎的是你；我在乎的是，在這個紛亂的大環境中，你是否可安好？」
即便未來充滿變數，聽到這些話語，心中總算平靜許多。
也忽然明白，人們說的「你若安好，便是晴天」，究竟作何解了。
