或許我人生中的下一章,

終於要開始了.

Communication in the media is an increasingly growing and competitive environment, especially among those reporting news and distributing information throughout our society. The revolution in the competitive media landscape since 1995 has altered the way Americans live today. Since 1995, the media industry has had to consider international opportunities as well as international threats. For example, international expansion has caused the United States to do things such as invest in foreign programming networks, create centralized management policies so that if and when the media is expanded overseas, they will be prepared to deal with the challenges of vertically integrated competitors that operate in a more centralized manner. In regards to technology, the paths to access and distribution have opened immensely giving Americans more and more ways to obtain information. According to the Pew Research Center, "Nearly seven-in-ten Americans (68%) now use a computer at least on an occasional basis, up from 61 percent in 1998 and 58 percent in 1996. Almost as many have a computer in their home-59 percent, up from 43 percent in 1998 and 36 percent in 1995" (Pew Research Center, 2006). Traditional news outlets, such as the television, are no longer the main source of receiving information. In our new technologically advanced world, most of society prefers to receive information through their cell phones or blackberries. "Only 55 percent of Americans now report having watched the news or a news program on television 'yesterday,'" whereas in 1994, 74 percent of Americans used television as their news outlet (The Pew Research Center, 2006). Television's supremacy is ending. TV ratings are going down and the internet's usage is going up. The internet has become one of the largest technology breakthroughs in history making business very hard for networks. For example, the majority of businesses prefer their consumers and clients to visit their websites in order to obtain information about their company. The non-stop growing environment of technology has, in turn, changed every aspect of a human's life.

           Consider the social and economic impacts of communication inside the lives of Americans in 2006 compared to those in 1995. In order to keep up with the trends of today's society, people are purchasing new media conceptions every day causing "built in obsolescence." This is when the consumer is initially persuaded into buying a product; however, the corporation quickly manufactures something new and improved making the first product obsolescent (for example: ipod, then the ipod mini, then the nano). Convenience has also moved its way up to the top of the priority list of most Americans.  As a result, our society is becoming more and more alienated and unsociable. We now no longer have to communicate with our peers and/or colleagues face-to-face anymore. It seems our society would rather communicate through emails and the internet than even picking up the telephone. Nonetheless, this increasing technology may have a tendency to harm these companies. For instance, people no longer want to take the time to go to the store and buy DVD's or rent movies because it is inconvenient for them.

            Michael Eisner, who joined Disney in 1984, served as the prince that awoke the dormant giant of animation and infused new life as well as new strategies into the company. Along with Frank Wells and Jeffrey Katzenberg, the trio successfully rebuilt the magic kingdom of Disney with Eisner’s profit multiplier business model and the application of synergy group. With Eisner’s business model, Disney’s creative content was transformed and repackaged in various forms which led to the expansion of profits in a wide range of consumer product domains. Repacking and cross-marketing did not only help leverage “the value of one content source across the company’s many divisions” but also allow the creative content to be utilized numerous times to increase profits for shareholders (Harvard Business School, 1998, p. 2). Accordingly, branded products that originated from the creative content became one of the major channels for revenue for the company. In the end, the result of their efforts was the creation of a brand and a self-sufficient entertainment empire that had the privileges of ignoring vendors from the outside.

we dont wish for the easy stuff, we wish for big things,
things that are ambitious, out of reach.
we wish because we need help, and we are scared,
and we know we may be asking too much.
we still wish though,
because,
sometimes,
they come true.

it's for u, my bb.

Lyrics | David Cook lyrics - Always Be My Baby lyrics

We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine

Now you want to be free
So I'm letting you fly
Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die
No!

You'll always be a part of me
I'm a part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

I ain't gonna cry no
And I won't beg you to stay
If you're determined to leave girl
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably you'll be back again
Cause ya know in your heart babe
Our love will never end no

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

I know that you'll be back girl
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder oooohhh
I know that, you'll be right back, babe
Ooooh! baby believe me it's only a matter of time

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my my baby....

You'll always be a part of me (you will always be)
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on (we will linger on....)
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

Always be my baby

喜愛買jeans的人有福囉,

我這幾天狂逛我之前列的各大牛仔褲網站,

想說這麼不景氣,

my fav jeans會不會也跟著各大百貨降價大拍賣,

看了半天,

比較in的幾乎都沒打,

就算有打也有限.

這兩天看到bluebee.com大打折,

40% off everything 喔!!!

haha,

終於收到bb幫我寄來的包裹了~

前陣子在nordstrom跟active endeavor買了:

1. 一雙Michael Kors我肖想很久但是死不降價可昰又超流行好看的羅馬鞋 (Christian Louboutin第一買不起, 第二我覺得overrated-儘管有那個sexy死人不償命的紅底, 但是我試穿過好幾雙還昰覺得沒有大家說的那麼好穿. 所以到後來除了YSL外, Michael Kors變成我最愛的鞋子牌~)

(btw, 剛剛穿了一下, 好好穿, 又有型~)
