[Gold] 信念

2012-01-30T15:29:00.002+08:00

關於看不見但可能存在的東西。肺腑不能掏，腸肚不能剖，心跳不能停，看不見的心線，如何知道是否還繫著?所以只有信念。 Keep the faith, the faith in-between. 放棄戰鬥，一切就結束了。相信存在，前方就還有路。然而，信念跟盲目，又要怎麼分辨呢?

[堅強] 生於憂患，死於安樂

2012-01-07T17:20:00.001+08:00

2011.9.26 The biggest rainbow I have ever seen in Taipei. It's a shame that I didn't have a wide-angle lens to shoot. 舜發於畎畝之中，傅說舉於版築之中，膠鬲舉於魚鹽之中，管夷吾舉於士，孫叔敖舉於海，百里奚舉於市。故天將降大任於是人也，必先苦其心志，勞其筋骨，餓其體膚，空乏其身，行拂亂其所為，所以動心忍性，曾益其所不能。人恆過，然後能改；困於心，衡於慮，而後作；征於色，發於聲，而後喻。入則無法家拂士，出則無敵國外患者，國恆亡。然後知生於憂患，而死於安樂也。《孟子。告子下》咀嚼孟子的經典名句，不為了經世致用，齊家治國。只是"苦其心志"後有了些體悟，在日記裡與自己對話的過程中，忍不住想查出全文。謝謝身邊所有的貴人。你們的時間，你們的陪伴，

2012-01-04T13:13:00.003+08:00

This forenoon, I went to visit a client ,which is a online apprel company. After finishing the meeting, here came a small talk. "I've seen you for three times. Each time you looked very different." said the boss. I was glad to be noticed by the good old man, "Yeah, sometimes my clients can't recognize me at all, haha!" "You are good at dressing and have style." he smiled, measuring my

[平行] Doppelganger

2012-01-02T16:55:00.002+08:00

在2012年12月31日，23點59分55秒，當時我正在哭著尋找我的doppelganger，而我卻撞見了另一個Doppelganger，也是我的。一個紅衣女孩，耳邊貼著粉紅色外殼的iphone，滿面淚水。對看。兩個哀傷的靈魂。看了十秒就會掉淚的夕陽。聽了十秒就會掉淚的音樂。讀了十秒就會掉淚的對白。我在地上，你在樓頂。命運女神從此將我們置放在平行的世界裡。你在現在，我在過去。 I was your doppelganger once, and now I am just a doppelganger.

[祈禱] 平溪。天燈。鐵道。

2011-12-29T02:32:00.001+08:00

菁桐，平溪，十分。小巧可愛的鐵道風味。許願竹，小天燈，貓咪，客家花布，吊橋。平溪線各站，一路複製貼上。反正平溪線One Day Pass只要52元。瑞芳開往菁桐，我跟一位安靜的小捲毛日本男孩聊天(英日穿插著練習)，他在十分站下車，我繼續看窗外明媚風光，搭到終點菁桐站。逆行遊覽似乎是個幸運的選擇，菁桐觀光客較少，溫暖的太陽與藍天讓這裡多了幾分清幽，撫平稍早被港客推撞或聲量騷擾的起毛；從菁桐站徒步走向平溪站，收起耳機，讓空氣中的Chet Baker陪著散步，分岔路上，還遇到好心的阿伯主動提醒 : "平溪老街往這邊唷..." 下午，在十分站看觀光客放天燈，嬉鬧，升級版的天燈拖著一條鞭炮，嘣嘣嘣的炮竹聲彷彿在說: "Hey, God, here are my wishes, please make them realized." 生氣盎然的充滿希望，

[絕世] My Funny Valentine

2011-12-27T19:29:00.005+08:00

一個鼻子點觸到另一個鼻子，一片唇疊印上另一片唇，一排笑開的齒迎接一雙清澈的眼，張開的雙臂網住聳挺的雙肩，在口袋預暖的雙手捧著被酒窩鑽深的雙頰... 在距離喜歡的人五公分的面前，你曾因為自己再熟悉不過的缺陷而收回跨出的腳步、前傾的腰桿?Is your figure less than Greek?Is your mouth a little weak?　 My funny valentine　Sweet, comic valentine　You make me smile with my heart　Your looks are laughable, unphotographable　yet you're my favourite work of art　小眼睛是專注的視線，雀斑是陽光留下的吻痕，魚尾紋是微笑的漣漪，微凸小肚是柔軟的枕頭，強壯小腿是努力追愛的鍛鍊；這樣的說法李白一定懂

[音樂] 方大同15。Come Together to Black Hole。

2011-12-18T14:20:00.002+08:00

1969年Beatles創作Come Together，表達社會現況的虛偽令人厭惡，濃厚的藥味透露了Hippy潮流下灰色地帶的情緒，虛幻又清醒、無力卻強烈的張力， Lennon說"Come together, right now..."，但出口在哪裡? Decadent version of the original by The Beatles. (I love the bass and drums...) 2011年12月17日的周六夜晚，方大同說: He say I know you, you know me One thing I can tell you is you got to be free. Come together, right now, over me. "Come together，來聽我們玩音樂，來搖滾吧!"

[UK] On Possessing Beauty 美的擁有

2011-12-12T17:15:00.003+08:00

2011.8.25 Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art One @Edinburgh 在與美邂逅那一刻，我們會有一股強烈的衝動，想要緊緊抓住，占為己有，進而使這美成為自己生命中舉足輕重的一部分。我們很想說:"我在這裡，我看到了，這對我意義重要。 from {The Art of Travel } by Alain de Botton 我們致力於求新求變、追求YoY甚至QoQ的成長率，而歐洲相對在意的是歷史軌跡累積成價值，在不同的消費文化之下，以及台灣(亞洲?)不斷刺激市場需求的換機戰術，與歐洲相比，消費性電子產品在台灣(亞洲?)市場相當accessible。相機一台比一台便宜，一台比一台簡單，拍起照來一台比一台漂亮，遊記攝影在台灣形成一門顯學，部落格文學成為庶民文化的其中一支流，漸漸地，我們習慣用相機取代了雙眼，

2011-12-07T22:56:00.001+08:00

What is LOVE? 對於愛的樣貌，每個人的描繪詮釋如同一中各表，理解與想像的差異性源自於每個人為愛所能做出的實踐各異，每副交感神經對愛的接收能力也有差別。或許，這就是LOVE之所以複雜也最趣意盎然的部分。對於 30 something(陳述不代表承認)的我來說，望向愛情的期許就像工作一樣，不知道自己想要的是甚麼，只知道自己不想妥協與犧牲的是甚麼。不過我說的是， excluding "I am falling in love at the first sight" and "You had me at hello"，扣除這類前幾世修成的福報善德之外，正所謂萬事起頭難，到底要如何進入Phase of " Pre-Love"-- 這個讓你通往對某人說(或聽某人說)通關密語"I love you"的命運大門前的機會庭院?

南港好像一個大鐵籠，中午用餐的人潮就像定期洩洪的長江三峽大壩，來得又急又多。有點想念伊通公園，南京東路，油煙巷，四平街的另一種緩慢蔓延。至少，有幽靜小巷可以讓人藏身，或者，那個讓陳傑克找不到的屬於我的咖啡小店。回到台灣超過一個月了，除了麵包、英式紅茶越嗑越兇之外，英文退步了，思念稍微減弱了，規律的生活也不再。因為工作填滿了大部分的清醒，連昏沉，也是因為工作，哈。咖啡成了我的鎮定劑，一杯咖啡的時間，重新注入給自己的快樂力量。就像Clara找到Costa café就覺得被settle了一樣。今年聖誕假期，決定不遠遊了，真正的pleasure不應該建立在未來的匱乏或不安，不然就失去它的本質了。沉住氣存積蓄，明年繼續挑戰，探索，與追尋。 (written down on one day of November.)

Carelessly left my headphones at the office . On the way home, all the noises in MRT seem to become ringing in my ears. The air without music is just like the riverbed without water. Now I am crawling forward in the channel and dying of thirst. This photo is from here Actually I preferred bus to underground in London. However,I miss the grey color of the underground from time to time.And

[開工] 大吉。

2011-10-05T18:50:00.003+08:00

Back to Capitalism since October. 每天都有新的感觸與心得。第一天的感覺是臥虎藏龍，大家都有自己的專長背景期許，也會展現personality，這樣很好，因為我本來喜歡新鮮事物與刺激，特別是跟不同的人種擦出奧妙的火花!其次是會議效率，大家都超忙，所以”時間管理”似乎是基本風氣，準時開始、準時(或提早)結束，同樣是表現對同事heavy loading的尊重，但跟前公司的風格大相逕庭(等你十分鐘後換等我十分鐘)，即使我目前參與的會議以new hire training為主 (but training lessons are more than expectation!)，但同樣適用，我喜歡可以掌握工作步調的效率感，這樣可以保持思緒清晰與流程邏輯。第二天，打開耳朵聽同事與客戶溝通的方式，我想起之前也是這樣邊聽邊偷學前輩的技巧，真懷念!其次，

2011-09-07T02:26:00.002+08:00

The furious storm today is the worst weather I have met in UK. When I was taking the bus from the city center to home, the bus was almost blown away. It could be called a typhoon in Taiwan. The weather deteriorated my bad mood so I chose Starbucks and Dorian Gray instead of the class. Then I came home at 12. In the afternoon, I stayed in the warm house to listen to Chopin, read Oscar Wilde,

I have enough of my face for only basic cleansing everyday. After buying an exfoliating polish and a cleansing flannel in The Bodyshop, I did a thorough face cleansing and super skin care tonight. However,in three mimutes after everything done, the fire alarm suddenly rang loud in the whole youth hostel building. All guests including me, with my cellphone,camera and roomcard, ran out of rooms to

Tears filled in my eyes as the first play started. Magnificent, passionate,touching. Thanks God gave me a nice weather to enjoy it. Thanks Helen prepared a blanket and a seat pad for me to keep warm. I love bagpipe. I love Edinburgh. I love Scotland. Looking down from section 6 BB5， the upstanding military uniform with Scottish kilt is exactly a turn on to me. =========================

Clara is going to a highland trip today. Because it's easy for her to feel bad for a long-distance on the bus or ship, she wanted to figure something out to solve this problem. However, what does work in Italy seems not helpful here. The pharmacy which she had asked yesterday didn't have something like a "Plaster" which is generally used in Italy to prevent sickness in one's trip. ( In fact,

今天跟偉勝學長賢伉儷一起去吃韓國菜，我點了Spicy seafood noodles soup,還有跟大家share海鮮煎餅，超級無敵好吃!!!!又有種更喜歡愛丁堡的感覺了! 吃完飯後在新城散步，聊到wetherspoon這間pub,學長提到這家連鎖餐廳有間很厲害的分店，是開在百年舊銀行辦公室，以前的金庫也在，它的名字The standing order,是按月支付的意思。好特別!!! 因為可以帶小孩進去，所以我們在那邊喝下午茶，我跟學長點咖啡，學姐點a pint of cider beer,學長順便跟我介紹當地的啤酒。他們的咖啡不比星巴克差，而且也便宜，我好喜歡這家店，人們就這麼自在地與古蹟共處，真的好舒服，感覺下次來愛丁堡，絕對是為了pub culture，就像學長的冰島同學一樣，來個pub巡禮!! 接著我們去

[UK life] Homework: Fox and Woodpecker

2011-08-19T23:12:00.002+08:00

One day, a fox wad walking around in the forest.The weather was wonderful,the sun wad shining and the wind was gently blowing. Suddenly,the fox heard that a tree behind him was creaking. He turned back,raised his head,and found there was a Woodpecker on a branch,which was holding a piece of meat in its beak. The meat was huge and swaying, as if about to fall."It looks delicious!"the fox thought.

[UK life] Telling a story

2011-08-19T22:41:00.002+08:00

某次上課內容是讀一篇文章(每個人都不一樣)，自己挑想學的新單字，然後跟自己的partner討論是什麼意思。這是在Kaplan最常見的討論式學習。課堂結束後老師叫我們用自己的生字寫短文。我的文章跟大自然有關，其中一個單字是啄木鳥。想了半天，我想起某次Goody要我講故事，關於狐狸與鳥。於是我寫了這個英文版的給Goody的故事。今天收到老師改好的文章，Katy對我說， it's lovely, and well done! 紙上的評語是文章結構跟幾個片語用得很好，excellent。很開心，然後突然好想Goody，抱抱他，跟他說謝謝他逼阿姨"唸"書，讓阿姨在國外言之有物，哈。
