Cozy Life

Yay, I finally learned the Toe-side snowboarding today (at least I think I learned it =P ) 

 

The wind was blowing so hard today and the temperature was somewhere around 34 Degree F; people were freezing out there.  Besides being all excited about my newly acquired skill, I am feeling very grateful for having such a nice snowboarding outfit. 

 

Thank you so much, Uncle and Auntie Lily!  The suit doesn't only look cool, it also provided me with much warmth and convenience!  While people were having chills waiting for/on the lift, I was warm and comfortable underneath my snowsuit.  I love how I can carry ten things in different pocket and not afraid of them getting wet.  It's such a great snowsuit, I love it!  Thanks again, Auntie Lily!  Also, thank you, Kuo~^^

 

OMG~~~~~~~~~~

 

Mayday's concert's so high SO HIGH!!!!!  Excitement takes you over in a matter of seconds.  I screamed the lyrics to sing along with them and jumped as high as I can even until I cannot feel my feet or legs...

 

I was surprised when I first heard that it was going to be held at the auditorium.  Because in my memory from a Jay Chow's concert, the auditorium was designed for the audience to be seated the whole time, I was worried that we won't be able to enjoy the concert to the highest point.  Boy, was I wrong~!

 

It was already exhilarating when Linna and I first arrived.   We were seated at the 3rd row right by the center walkway.  According to Linna, this was closer than the standing ticket she got last time they were here.  The stage sits right in front of us.  Just imagining that all five of them will be performing right in front of us within such a short distance accelerated our heart beats and blood circulations.  Linna's spirit was way up there already as soon as they appeared onstage.  However, partly due to the passive audience in front of us, partly because no one was siting to the right of me, I did not dive right into the boiling atmosphere in the first few songs.  The extreme high-ness strike suddenly at one point.  Shame on me for forgetting the song that ignited one of the the utmost explosive emotions I've ever felt, but I exploded as the music pounds hard at all the familiar and captivating notes. 

 

The crowd seemed to feel the same excitement.  Linna and I couldn't wait to stand up as we noticed that others were started to do so. Tough it would be good if people in the first two row would have be a little bit more excited about the electrifying event.  Linna and I had no problem being the first row standing up and jumping with the amazing beats.  With A-shin's slight hand signal of jumping with him, Linna and I even went up to the walkway jumping right by the first row!  The only thing between us and the stage were a short metal fence and a 5-foot space.  It was so unreal that we could watch them perform so closely!!  It was crazy~!  We were so high that everyone just keeps jumping up and down, hiting our hands in the air with the beat as hard as we could.  O my, what a wonderful experience~!  My arms were so sore and feet & legs were so tired from all the jumping, but we were not ready to stop!!  It was great fun~!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks to Mayday's crazy fan Linna, we even manage to find the door where Mayday would exit to get on their bus!!!!!  I loved their music so much, and I think I love each song even more now that I've experienced their powerful live-performance! 

 

It seemed like a childish thing to do, but this was an advanturous experience I will never forget.  I may be too old to do this already.  But I'm only growing older.  If I don't do this now, I'll never get to do it! 

 

Now I cannot wait for the trip to Taiwan~!~!~!

It's 2:26PM on July 26th, my birthday.  Here I am, sitting at my desk in the office, DRUNK! 

 

OMG.  These people are alcoholics, man.  They are so fun and funny...lol. 

 

Since Matt is starting his diet thing and Keith and Chris are out on the field today, Kimberley, Diane and I went out for lunch @ BJ's for my b-day.  Yes, we ordered alcohol beverages.  I tried ONE Nutty Brunette.  One!  They each had a mixed drink and are far from buzzed.  I was already high after 2 sips of my beer...

 

And now, an hour after the cup of beer, I get dizzy when I stand up.  Though my office is only 12 ft away from Diane's, I had to take break and sit in the chair on the way to her....  This is so embarrassing><.  I'm bad, but I don't remember being this bad!!  But I got closer w/ my c-workers^^  Kimberley had taken pictures of us, and I will attach them soon^^.

 

Yay, Happy birthday to me~!

到底要什麼？直說嘛！

有一天在捷運站，看到一對正在爭吵的情侶，

可能已經糾纏了不少時候。

只見，那個男的氣急敗壞大聲嚷嚷：「妳到底真正要什麼？」
那個女的低著頭、抽泣著：「你為什麼總是不知道？」

突然感覺，這個畫面怎麼那麼熟悉？

這個場景不是常常在我生活中發生嗎？
 

 

母親曾說：「妳哥哥啊！有口無心，問我要什麼生日禮物，
我說不用了，他就真不買了，他太太生日就送了顆鑽戒。」

很後悔的口氣。

 

我在娘家附近的學校教書時，
祖母曾說：「中午，妳就回來吃飯吧！」我真的就回去吃。
 
結果父親告訴我，祖母在抱怨：「我那麼辛苦，
每天還要為嫁出去的孫女忙一頓。」

因為白天只有她一人在家，原本可以將就前一晚的剩菜吃一頓的。
可是，她為什麼又要邀我回家吃飯呢？

 

年輕時，總為丈夫忘了結婚紀念日生氣，
他說：「生什麼氣？妳不就為了要禮物？錢不都在妳那裡嗎？
我也沒限制妳花用，自己去買就是！」

 

女兒讀書時要幫忙洗碗，
我說：「不用了，妳快點做功課，早做完早睡，每天拖那麼晚，身體都搞壞了。」

後來自己忙不過時，就嘆氣：「生女兒有什麼用，一點家事也不幫忙。」

 

自父親往生，長居香港的妹妹怕母親獨居寂寞，接了母親去住。
母親打電話告訴我：「其實我想住台灣，我也想念台灣的鄰居。
可是妳妹那麼孝順，我不好拂她的意。」

 

我們總是這樣：

為了客氣，隱藏真心；為了面子，委屈真意；

可是又希望別人關心、細心，察覺自己的真情。
 
一定要弄得別人左也不是、右也不行嗎？
一定要別人暴跳如雷，吼出c嗎？
其實，大概也只有「人類」，會耍這種語言詭計吧！

  Cannot remember exactly when...

 

  It was probably the beginning of 2004 when a few of my college friends and I started reading 深雪's book.  The stories are not exactly written by-the-book.  Every point was sharply presented in an extremely exaggerated manner.  The things that happen in the book cannot be judged by our normal perspective or common sense.  The reader has to keep in mind that all these extreme narratives are employed to enhance the points she wants to get across.  Such a way to describe all that cannot be easily expressed in the experience of love!  Her exaggerated writing may seem disturbing at first, but if you bear with it, you will understand that, sometimes, the dramatic emotions that one undergoes on the love ride can only be depicted by these radical plots. 

 

  My favorite books of hers include 愛經述異,  深夜與早晨的周記, and 另一半的翅膀.  http://www.crown.com.tw/book/zita/zitalaw.htm
