20100713 Let's go fly a kite...

2010-07-14T03:08:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I posted something on my blog. One year to be exact...I will do a recap of all the things that happened this past year, I promise! But let me write about the present first...

Jensen(千賢) has been talking about kite flying for a few months now and finally, he bought the "kite of his dreams". Although it cost him an arm and a leg, he's still happy and excited about his new toy. I got caught up with his excitement so...he decided to invited me, Cheru and Natz to fly kite with him at the Star of the Ocean (海洋之星) which is a really great place for kite-flying and for picture taking.

Jensen's kite is not the ordinary kites like the ones we see in the "Kite Runner" or "Mary Poppins". It's the big one that has two strands for pulling...Jensen is really good with it and he taught me how to fly it...I was scared for a while but had a great time after I get the hang of it. The wind is not really appropriate for kite-flying that day and the kite didn't stay in the sky for long. Nevertheless, we still had fun. The view is great, the company is great and seeing the kite fly on a beautiful sunset sky is a great way to end the day. Hope we can do it again soon!

Thought for the day:

It's my first time to "fly a kite" and the feeling is really wonderful. The instant that you pull the strings and see the kite soar to the sky is really.....WOW!!! It's overwhelming and amazing. It really gave me a sense of accomplishment. Really hope to do it again soon!

2009.09.26 難忘的生日

2009-10-14T03:49:00.000-07:00

9月26日是屬於我的日子...是一個很難忘的日子

那天原本只有我妹、我弟、麗平、心儀、柏清與蓁霓要幫我慶祝生日因為要當兵的朋友就去當兵了，要工作的就去工作了，要上課的去上課，長話短說，大家都要忙、都有自己的生活，但誰知道，從６個人變23個加那天下午約我見面的瑞豐跟瑤瑤。我應該這輩子會永遠記得這一天吧！！

生日的前兩三個禮拜。。。
柏清有一天去我們辦公室聊天時，突然跟我說："凱，幫你慶祝生日好不好？" 我回他說："好ㄚ但我不想打擾到你們的時間，如果不行的話，就算了吧！" 他說："OK的啦！地點我定，人我約，你負責去就好。＂我也只能說"OK"

生日的前一個禮拜。。。
柏清帶了一個壞消息去辦公室找我，他說："凱，我約不到人ㄝ。怎麼辦？" 還以為什麼壞消息呢！我就跟他說："唉喔，沒關係啦！我知道你盡力了！有你們（原本那６個人）就很好了！大家那麼忙，而且要當兵的都去當兵了，要做實驗的也在做實驗，還能約誰呢？其實我自己有想過今年不會一個人過生日就不錯了。真的沒關係啦！"
他很內疚的說："我對你很不好意思，約不到人。" 我就一值安慰他說真的沒關係，不是他的錯！

生日的前幾天。。。
9.22我請國務處的同仁與我們的助理學生吃泰式料理，順便幫大毛慶祝生日。。。這樣的慶祝方式對我來說其實就夠了！

生日當天。。。
早上先被我姑姑的電話吵醒，講完繼續睡！然後被余老師的電話吵醒，因為打錯他就掛電話了，繼續睡！再被我菲律賓兩個好朋友的簡訊吵醒，真的受夠了！只好起床囉！洗澡、翻譯、跟我妹他們吃午餐、翻譯、想睡又去睡、起來、跟我弟的朋友心儀打個招呼、洗澡、出發去漢神巨蛋跟瑞豐還有瑤碰面。
大概有一個月沒看到之前天天可以看到的瑞豐，感覺很開心。跟他們兩個聊好久，他們拿禮物跟卡片給我，叫我先打開卡片，卡片都是用拼圖的，很酷呢！看完瑤的就看瑞豐的，看完，眼淚就流著不停！他們一直叫我不要再哭了因為很多人會看，很丟臉！哈哈哈　我們應該有聊了超過兩個小時，聊了很多美好回憶，也聊了以後的規劃，突然讓我想到我多麼想念他們了！
等柏清的電話，等了快一個小時，因為他要載我跟我妹他們去吃飯，慶祝我生日，他遲到了快一個小時，原本5:30PM 就要到一家西式的餐廳叫oogenlust，結果拖到6:30PM才到，我弟跟他朋友已經在外面等我們等很久了，我想說這家餐廳不錯ㄝ，願意等人等那麼久，服務不錯呢！從漢神巨蛋到餐廳的路，柏清的電話，響著不停，我妹的也是，其實有怪怪的感覺了但就沒想很多，想說我弟只是在問我們怎麼那麼久。進去餐廳我弟就帶我們進去算一個包廂，裡面應該有四五張桌子但我不知道它是包廂，我弟還一直堅持叫我坐中間那個位子，然後一直說要移桌子，我就說我們坐最邊邊那個就好啦！幹嘛一直要移桌子呢，人過去不是比較快嗎？他就是堅持要搬桌子！還在跟他討論的過程，莫名其妙被一個人嚇到，就是親愛的弼晉！
我就很開心的說："阿！！！弼晉，你來啦！＂　他就說："你怎麼會來這邊?" 我就問他說："那你怎麼也會在這邊？" 我就有點不好意思！怕說他是跟別人來！剛好是巧合而已！我就問他他是跟誰來的。他就說朋友，他也回問我，我說柏清。其實我覺得不對勁但不敢想太多，怕失望！他講完就又走出去了(原來我弟在跟他說，其他人在廁所躲)。看到他的表情就覺得很好笑！他們就把門那邊的簾子關起來，叫我坐在中間的一張椅子，突然。。。陳姐的小寶貝們：阿婕跟阿咪拿蛋糕出來，嚇我一跳！我就一值追問他們還有誰，有沒有陳姐，有沒有其他姊姊跟哥哥？阿咪差點把全部講出來了，幸好被阿婕阻止，不然所有的驚喜就沒了！柏清就叫我先坐下來，我的神秘來賓都會先露腳出來，我再去猜他是誰？如果猜錯，那個人就要在我的臉塗奶油。。。結果第一位來賓我就猜錯了，看到是阿賢時我就哭了，我已經快兩個月沒看到他，所以可以在我生日這天看到他特別開心。阿賢出來之後，我的好朋友們就一個一個出來了，有陳姐、劭潼、志忠、沁琳、千賢、建華、惠芳還有樹人大學的余老師也來了還有大雄。雖然秀如跟至穎沒辦法參加，我還是有收到他們的祝福跟禮物，真的很開心很開心！最後，志忠也打電話call皓鈞、阿德跟老大一起來參加，六個人的PARTY變成23個！原來他們都躲在廁所躲很久，也都快餓死了！不好意思讓你們等很久喔！

這是我這輩子最難忘的生日，應該以後的生日趴雖然也會很難忘但不會贏我2009的生日趴。

＊highlights of the day:

1. 第一次有人幫我辦一個surprise party
2. 阿咪規定大家要唱三個版本的生日歌
2. 蛋糕上面有巴黎鐵塔
3. 家人跟好朋友撥時間幫我慶生真的讓我很感動
4. 第一次有大約23個人幫我慶祝生日
5. 從看到阿賢（第一個來賓）哭到要回家的時候
6. 最重要是很開心因為我身邊有貼心的家人跟好朋友們在照顧我

真的很感謝你們讓我有這麼難忘的生日！！！

因為一場國際研討會。。。。。

2009-07-02T06:48:00.000-07:00

在二ＯＯ七年十二月十日那一天，意外的認識了一群研究生。看起來都不怎麼樣，但過了一年半後，沒想到我會為這些研究生掉了那麼多眼淚。那時候我們是被叫去幫忙他們所上辦的研討會，到會場時都不敢跟人家講話，因為他們看起來一個比一個兇，一個比一個酷，怕惹到人家，所以只好安靜的站旁邊。研討會的第一天就慢慢的認識了他們，早上的休息時間跟大概七八個同學聊了一下，其中有一位還很有禮貌的問我說：姐姐，你叫什麼名字？害我尷尬了一下，想說我有這麼老嗎？！？誰會想到，他真的變成我乾弟。另外一個還在那邊噹我，我不小心看了旁邊的同學，他就說我喜歡他同學所以一直看他，讓我超無言的！我心裡想說：這些學生還蠻白目的，剛認識而已就可以這樣噹人家了。其他同學大概在研討會的第二天才認識的。我在那三天跟他們相處的很愉快，認識了一些很不錯的人。我想說路上遇到，應該多多少少會跟彼此打招呼吧！沒想到。。。我會更進一步的認識他們，而且都變成好朋友。

二ＯＯ九年六月十三日是他們的畢業典禮，那天雨下的好大，他們從研究室走到大禮堂，沒有一個是乾的，但看到他們在那邊吵吵鬧鬧就覺得很好笑，幫他們調碩士服的時候就有一種怪怪的感覺，我一直想到底是什麼，從來沒有體驗到這種感覺，到幾個禮拜後，看到無辜的小白在收東西的時候，才知道這感覺叫心痛。我真的替他們開心但自己很傷心很心痛，因為這代表我們都要分開走自己的路了。我很傷心因為我們見面的機會應該不會很大，要工作的就去工作了，要當兵的就去當兵了，但我也很開心因為他們終於要畢業了，可以脫離研究生的生活了，每次想到他們畢業典禮那天的笑容，我自然都會對自己笑。

他們讓我這一年半的生活很豐富很精彩，該笑的也笑過了，該哭的也哭過了，該氣的也氣過了，我在他們研究室有很多美好的回憶，就算不是每個回憶是快樂的但至少是美好的。無論如何，在我心目中他們是一群勤勞、會拼命、友善、尊敬師長、貼心、有禮貌的一群好朋友。你們都畢業了，我這幾天的眼淚絕對是真心的，我一定會很想念貼心又很照顧我的乾弟瑞豐、愛打我又愛跟我吵架但也很關心我的至穎、愛戳我而唯一會跟我迷路的柏清、會用很噁心的聲音叫我「凱」但也會幫我出氣的志忠、默默關心我的阿賢、跟我一樣愛海豚的建華、白目又可愛的弼晉、幫我做漂亮的項鍊的秀如、烤魷魚烤的很好吃的家銘、在收東西而莫名其妙被我罵的小白、吃水餃常遇到的炯麟、跟我很有緣的小朱、天真而常被志忠欺負的皓鈞、一年後才知道我不是台灣人的士凱、常被志忠搓鬍子的老大、不小心被我妹噹的阿德、實驗室在八樓的信有、還有我其中最傷心的一天陪我去看海的沁琳與千賢（雖然你們是一年級，我也先寫著，怕明年會很忙，會沒時間寫，不好意思）。

朋友們，親愛的朋友們，我祝你們學業與事業成功，一天比一天開心，天天健康，有空偶爾來看看我吧！就算以後沒有機會見面，你們永遠在我心裡的，一定會三不五時想起你們，希望你們也會永遠記得我和我們這一群外籍生。

Goodbye is not forever…somewhere along the road, our paths are gonna cross again and even if it didn’t, just look at the stars once in a while and remember that somewhere around the world, one of us is also staring at the sky wondering if you see the bright stars twinkling above us and remembering our fun times together. Take care my friends. You will always be in my heart forever.

2008跨年的花蓮之旅

2009-01-04T04:10:00.000-08:00

It's been a long time since I posted something on my blog... It's already 2009! Wow! Time flies when you're having fun...

After I came to Taiwan 3 1/2 years ago, I celebrated my new year's eve with different people...
Dec. 31, 2005~with Nicole羽喬+David博印+Cherry
Dec. 31, 2006~with Dan+Zen+Lee+Cherry+阿蕊+琴琴+Dan and Zen's classmates
Dec. 31, 2007~with Diana+Jerome+Nicholas+東穎
Dec. 31, 2008~with Cheru+Lool柏清+Jerome至穎

Although I enjoyed all the new year's eve celebrations I had in Taiwan, 2008 new year's eve was the greatest so far... what separates it from the other celebration, you ask? Well, all the other celebration were just dinner but in 2008, we went to Hualien 花蓮 (Jerome's hometown) for three days (Dec. 31~Jan. 2)... We had a great trip... It was fun... funny... and refreshing... The trip really helped not only me but also my friends recharge after a busy December to face a BUSIER January... This is what happened on our trip...

At first, I really don't have any plans for new year's eve. What do you know? Lool suddenly asked me if I have any plans for new year's eve. When I said that I have no plans, he asked me if I want to join him and visit Jerome's hometown: Hualien. I really wanted to go to Hualien for a very long time but didn't have the chance. I asked him if I can invite my sister and Natalie, he said okay but Natalie can't join us coz she still has lots of reports to do... At first, Sam浩鈞 and Adrian志忠 were joining us but in the end they backed out coz they still have some work to do at home (such a pity)... then Lool said that his friend is joining us AND at the end he also backed out coz he was called back to work due to an emergency... so in the end it was just me, my sis, Lool and Jerome who went to Hualien.

December 31, 2008: We left Kaohsiung at around 8:45 AM on Dec. 31... Lool drove and Jerome gave the directions. It took us 14 hours to drive from Kaohsiung to Hualien. Heck, a 5~6 hour drive turned to 14 hours drive! Why? Well, we stopped at so many places... Purpose: to take pictures, visit some scenic spots we see on the way and to go to the restrooms. First, we took a detour to 小野柳 to take some pictures. We also saw sunflowers that were as big as our hands and even as big as our faces on the sides of the road. We kept on stopping and took lots of pictures of the sunflowers... There was a really big one but there was a big canal that separates it from the road and only long-legged people, in short, tall people can go across the canal. So... only Jerome got to stand beside the big sunflower. We were so jealous but after a while, we saw another big one so we stopped again to take a picture of it (Yehey!). When we saw the sign of Hualien, we were so happy but after a while we realized that it is only a sign... there is still a long way to go before we can reach the borderline of Hualien (2 to 3 hour drive to be exact, sigh). On the way, we also visited 瑞穗, ate their 饅頭 and drank their milk. For dinner, we ate at 涂媽媽肉粽 and液香扁食 (扁食is actually what we usually called as wonton). Lool was missing this wonton store for 10 years so we visited the place to make him satisfied. The wonton of that store is really good, it is not too salty but tasty and its really suitable for cold nights. Then, we checked out the new year's eve concerts of Hualien and in the end we just left the place... we were too tired to party (after a 14 hour drive, who wouldn't?) We visited the kiosk of Jerome's parents before going back to Jerome's home. His mom and dad are so hardworking and friendly. They are so accommodating and warm... They actually remind me of my own parents (which I miss terribly, by the way). They treated us with their red bean soup紅豆湯... It was VERY DELICIOUS!!! They want us to try other stuff but we were too full already... Thanks, uncle and auntie! The red bean soup was really great!!! They add taro balls 芋圓and sweet potato balls 地瓜in it which made it better! The truth is I don't really like red beans much but I really liked his parents' red bean soup! If Lool goes back to Hualien because of the 扁食, I will go back to Hualien because of Jerome's parents' red bean soup. : ) Then... we went back to his home and rest because we want to see the first sunrise of 2009! We lie down around 11:45 pm thinking that we will stay awake until 12 and at the end we slept through the countdown and and the fireworks (sigh).

January 1, 2009: Together with Jerome, Lool and Cheru (my sis), we went to see the first sunrise of 2009. Afterwards, we went back to bed and woke up around 8 something AM, took a bath, ate an early lunch and went directly to Hualien Farglory-Ocean Park花蓮遠雄海洋公園, then to National Tong Hwa University 國立東華大學, Shin Kong Hualien Ranch 新光兆豐休閒農場 and ate dinner at 鯉魚潭. Jerome ordered shrimp cakes蝦餅, kangkong 炒空心菜, shrimp fried rice 蝦仁炒飯,
fried small shrimps 炸蝦, day lily soup 金針湯 and a special dish, which can only be found in Hualien, called 活跳蝦, the shrimps are actually small, alive and VERY fresh. It was mixed with soy sauce, vinegar and some chili sauce. It was alive when you put it in your mouth... At first, I was quite afraid to try it but after a little persuasion from Jerome (he said that there's no icky smell and you won't feel the rawness of the shrimp), I tried it. It's quite good but it won't be on the list of my favorite food. I actually ate 1/3 of the whole dish and Jerome ate the other 2/3. Afterwards, we went to the downtown of Hualien and checked out some stores and just walk around. I also met up with a friend whom I haven't seen for a while: Angela. We talked and catch up and before going our separate ways, we took a picture and I promised to visit her in Taipei. We also bought some midnight snack before going back to Jerome's place. His parents let us tried their 豆花 or what we called soybean pudding in English (not so sure of the English term). I feel that its quite different from the other 豆花 that I've tasted and because I had a cold, his parents were so thoughtful. They added 薑汁 juice extracted from the ginger to make my cough and cold better. What do you know? I was feeling a lot better by the time I left Hualien. Thanks again, auntie and uncle.

January 2, 2009: It is the last day of our trip. We plan to drive back before lunch and at the end we left Hualien around 11:45 AM (still before lunch). Before we left, we visited 知卡宣森林公園 to see the beautiful flowers. Afterwards, we went to buy some 手工麻糬 and packed 麻糬 at 曾記麻糬 and went back to Jerome's place to get his scooter so he can show us the way to the highway back to Kaohsiung. His mom packed some Zhongzi 肉粽 for us to eat on the way and grass jelly 仙草凍 for us to share with our friends in Kaohsiung. Both stuff are really good! It took us about 7 hours to reach Kaohsiung. We had fewer stop overs this time... Just took a picture at a plateau with a bed of flowers and two or three restroom breaks. Then, we went to 里港in 屏東for some pork knuckles and wonton soup. I haven't been to that place since April (our spring break) and misses it a lot actually. After dinner, Lool drove us back to the dorm and he went back home.

Thought on the trip: I felt more recharged after the trip and I felt closer to Jerome and Lool. It was a pity that Sam, Adrian and Natalie can't join us but the trip was still great without them (sorry guys). This trip will be on top of my list of great trips. The friends are great, the place is great, the foods are great... Everything is perfect for me! I did not regret one bit on going on this trip. I hope there will be more trips like this with Jerome, Lool and my other friends in the Electronic Engineering department.

4-Trez...

2008-05-21T19:13:00.000-07:00

Got the chance to talk to Janice the other day...
We talked about many things...
I can see that we are all quite different now from who we were before, yet somehow, still similar... I realized that we grew so apart from each other... Looking at your pictures from your gimiks and outings, I am kind of jealous because I can't be a part of it...

I value our friendship, that's no doubt, we really had great memories together...
I hope our memories of each other won't be of those times only...
We all grow up, move on but I don't want to stop being your friend...
We may not be as close as before but I hope our friendship will still continue to grow...
I hope we will have a chance to go out on a trip... and just have fun...

nothing in particular...

2008-05-19T23:36:00.000-07:00

Well, nothing in particular really...
It's been a long time since wrote anything in my blog so...
I just stopped by to leave a simple message...
It has been a relaxing week because our boss, other department heads and the president went to China for a business trip...
We will be busy again next week...
Enjoying this week...

Mother's day celebration...

2008-04-26T21:38:00.000-07:00

Achi Sardis invited Diana and me to join them in the mother's day celebration in CSU... although we are not mommies yet... Seeing kids with their moms, I realized that being a mom has its ups and downs...
but today... you can see it in the faces of the parents that it's worth being a mom or a dad...
Realized something though, I miss my parents so much... Miss being able to chat with them about anything... miss being able to hug them and show them how much they are important to me...miss my mom's cooking...miss my dad's advices...I will surely give them a big hug when I get the chance to visit them in the Philippines...

Dad, Mom, I miss you and I love you!

With Jamie, Gogee, Achi Sardis and Diana, we enjoyed a morning with a performance of the kids... mini fair and fun under the sun...

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY:
*Had a relaxing and fun day with Jamie and Gogee
*Took a picture with 林鍇
*Got great food and beverages... great fruit salad...love it 讚!
*Got to be around many children again... (darn! missed being a kindergarten teacher...)
*Took many great pictures (in my opinion)

4/8-4/9：緩慢之旅

2008-04-25T22:01:00.000-07:00

At first, I really don't want to join Gabby and 杜姊姊 on this trip because I was not feeling well (i think it was because i got a minor injury in Kenting+a running nose+scratchy throat) but a promise is a promise so at the end... i still went with them (FIY: one type of people that i hate are those who break promises so even if I'm not feeling well, I will still keep my promise and go to a trip with you). I know it's not a good thing sometimes because then your companions will worry about you and they won't enjoy the trip so I want to apologize to Gabby G and sis To if my stubbornness caused inconvenience on your part.

We went to a 民宿called 緩慢 (Adagio in Italian which means slow or leisure; it is also a word used to describe music with a slow tempo.)
A note for my family, friends and people everywhere, if the purpose of your trip is to relax... visit Adagio in 阿里山... you will get what you truly needs...

緩慢民宿 Adagio: It is located in the quiet area of Ali mountain. The place is so different from the city. When we reached the place, we unconsciously do things in slow motions. Everything is so pretty, relaxing and stress free. Since a picture paints a thousand words, I won't describe the place... I will show the exterior AND interior with pictures that I've taken... brace yourselves people... here goes...
(coming out soon)
For lunch, we ate the famous 阿良鐵支路便當+春捲冰淇淋+檸檬愛玉... full...full...full... such a heavy lunch... and stroll around 老街of奮起湖 for after-lunch exercise... I didn't enjoy much of the walk because I feel terrible. I just want to go back to our room and take a rest (beside, it's a little humid so it's sticky and uncomfortable).
After selecting a key chain for our key with its partner hanged on our door and the scent for our shampoo, bath gel and lotion (we chose the rose one), we checked in and went to our room. I immediately took a bath and after drying my hair, I went to bed. Gabby and sis To toured the place while I sleep. They persuade me to go see a doctor and I insist that I just want to rest (sometimes, my stubbornness will really kill me).
After a long persuasion on sis To's part, I agree to visit a doctor. She is a nun from Holland. She is the caretaker of an activity center which is only about a hundred steps (note... steps only) from the place we are staying... She used a key tied on a nylon to check which medicine suited me. She hold the key tied on a nylon on top of a bottle of medicine and hold it on top of my hand and if it make huge circles it means that I really need the medicine (she kept telling me你感冒很厲害). We thought it was quite 神奇 but didn't actually believed her and didn't know how to explain what just happened. To make us believe, she tried it on Gabby too and well, what do you know! she doesn't need it because she is not sick (she told Gab: 你不需要...). We left the place with so much gratitude (especially on my part)...

Sister, thank you very very much and May God bless you always!!!

Had our dinner so I can take my medicine and again, I went back to bed... Gabby and sis To went to the top floor to see the stars... They saw few ones but saw a lot of fireflies though and also met a smart kid (a very smart kid)... They plan to see the sunrise the next day and I didn't plan on going but after they got back from star watching, they asked me if I'm feeling better and if I want to join them the next day. I was feeling a LOT better so I decide to join them...and what do you know, i was the first one to wake up the next day. Got a lot of energy!!!

The sunrise was beautiful beautiful beautiful!!!
Although it was quite cold and got tired from climbing up the stairs, we enjoyed the trip...

We had our breakfast, went back to bed (HECK! I woke up around 4 AM and Gab & sis To around 4:30~4:45 AM), made postcards (thanks to goldfish金魚), bought some delicacies from 老街 again and checked out... We really don't want to leave the place...but we have to get back to the reality right? so off we went...
At first, we want to try 嘉義火雞肉飯 and buy民雄肉包...the whole plan changed when we saw puzzle 56.. The architecture and the interior is so great that we decide to have our lunch there... Ate a long lunch (actually, it is snack time already when we had our lunch)... discussed a lot of stuff, from love life to work to family to... a lot of things... We headed back home a little tired but surely recharge and happy...

Adagio! I shall return!!! Wait for me...

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TRIP:
*I got a lot of rest (I slept most of the trip)
*sis To going crazy with Gabby's driving. It made her tense because Gabby wants to take pictures while driving on the mountain road and I kept asking Gabby to see the photos that I've taken.
*Sunrise
*Adagio
*postcard making
*visit to the sister from Holland
*talk during lunch in puzzle 56

4/7：屏東與夢時代之旅

2008-04-21T06:19:00.001-07:00

Lool took Diana and me for a drive through Pingtung...
He showed us places and have some Pingtung delicacies like pork knuckles + wanton soup+ 烏梅汁 + Popsicles + ice cream.....
Pork knuckles: it is boiled in water and dip it in with its sauce (soy sauce+minced garlic) before you have a bite. According to Lool, you can add black vinegar to make it more delicious (he's right! Yummy!)
Verdict: great! not oily and you will beg for more!
Wanton soup: lots of wanton with a tasty soup and topped with chopped celery.
Verdict: Good! The amount of wanton is worth the price and the soup+the wanton is very tasty. The soup does not just feel like water+ salt.

烏梅汁：a juice made with 梅子. A little sweet and a little sour. In my opinion, taste better with a little ice.
Verdict: Great! not too sweet. Just right!
Popsicles+ice cream: we went to 屏糖 for their famous ice cream and popsicles. Got typical flavors like pineapple, grape, strawberry, milk, taro... also got weird flavors like yeast+red beans, rice...
Lool and I ate about 5 of them (popsicle and ice cream combined) and Diana had about 4 (i think). I tried lots of weird flavors like yeast+red beans and rice...and also some ordinary ones like milk... not vanilla but milk. I don't know how did Lool ate his ice cream but he broke the spoon...(beats me)
Verdict: the popsicles and ice cream are good. I like the milk flavor and the rice (although its a little weird)... I'm not very fond of the yeast+red beans though... but according to Lool, its one of the best seller in the store...(I don't believe him at first but he swear that he is not lying). Well, I saw a show on TV introducing flavors of ice cream and the yeast+red beans is one of them. It's really a best seller(sorry Lool for not believing you).

On our way home, we saw one of the most wonderful sight I ever saw in my life.....
Clouds that look like: bunch of dolphins swimming in the sea...
Of course, i would not let the chance pass me by... I took a picture of it.. Sigh... Perfect!!!

We went back to school to deliver the pork knuckles and wanton soup of Domitille and Leo
Later that night, we went to Dream Mall to have a taste of 高雄空廚's dishes...

高雄空廚's pork knuckles：Lool and I had German pork knuckles (again) and Diana had chicken (she said she had too much pork knuckles for the day)... The pork knuckle was sliced thoroughly so all you have to do is pick up the bite-size meat and chew it. It is served with steam veggies like broccoli and carrots, fries, mustard and sauerkraut...

Verdict: Good but too much for one person! The pork skin is crispy and the meat is soft, juicy and easy to chew. Add a little mustard and sauerkraut and you're on the roll...
You can add rice if you want but make sure it will be for two people... Really too much for one... besides, it's not so expensive... Diana said the chicken is quite good but doesn't really know the actual taste 'coz I haven't tasted it... I'll report on it next time if I tried it...

LoOnEy TuNeS

2008-04-21T06:02:00.000-07:00

I received an sms message from Ed Ong 11:04 PM last night...
He just want to let me know that he is still using the Looney Tunes pillow that I gave him years ago
I was quite touched by his message... He just want to let me know that he is still using it and it's very useful to him...
Well, Ed...
That gesture brightened up my day... thanks Ed... for remembering...

4/5-4/6：春天吶喊

2008-04-20T19:36:00.000-07:00

We started out from Pingtung (Gabby G's home) then, we met up with Jason, Mark, his family and the volleyball team in Mark's home...
The volleyball team was already there with their Vespas... after a while, off we go!
Gabby, Jason, Mark, 怡靜 sisters and I got separated from Jeremy (Gabby G's bro), 靜如姐 and the volleyball team
Our group went to 潮州 to wait for some other people, waited until we're almost asleep (zzZzzZzzZz) but suddenly woke up when we saw a bunch of Vespas in so many colors and types...
REALLY COOL!!!
Then, its time to leave... Yehey!!

Gabby and I were so excited that we start dancing in the car... but after a while the traffic was so heavy that Gabby almost got cramps from waiting... We waited... and waited... and waited... and finally... we started moving again... Others reached the place we're staying around 2pm and Gabby and I reached the place 2 hours later...

After taking a cold and refreshing shower, we went to the beach to start having FUN!!!!!
First, we rode the banana boat
TEAM members:
Gabby, 甜甜,姿宜, two volleyball team members and I

quite exciting but not as much...just pure fun...

next, 大力水手~this is where the real fun begins
TEAM members: Gabby, 甜甜,姿宜and I

The trainer brought us to the center of the sea and ask us if we want a leisure ride or an exciting ride...
crazy Gabrielle suddenly said that she wants an EXCITING RIDE!!!
Well, we got it... truly exciting...Gabby almost flew out of our boat!!!

Last, we had another go in the banana boat... they want to turn the boat out on the sea and once again near the shore... I don't really want to turn the boat out on the sea 'coz the only thing that can save us is the jet ski which is no use ... I can't go up the banana boat by myself!!! I really wanna cry!!!

Well, at least I went up the banana boat (after a lot of help from the others, thanks girls) and hurt myself after i fell down from it (don't know how it actually happened but it hurts)

Went back to our hotel, cleaned up and went out for dinner and a trip to 墾丁街
A lot of people so we have to squeeze here and there...
Went back after a while because everybody is quite tired...

Gabby and I got pissed off about something and went back
to 墾丁街 by ourselves
Met a great guy that sells stuff... he brightened our bad night with a discount and praises...

Next day, woke up just a bit late... took a shower and prepare to checkout...

Heard from a reliable source (Mark and Jason) that Chris of Miami Ink is in Starbucks drinking coffee so... Gabby, 怡靜, 慧卿 and I borrowed Mark and Jason's Vespas and went to have our picture taken with Chris... cool la!

We ate our late lunch and visited 龍磐公園 Wow! What a view...
Later, went to 車城 and have 綠豆饌... cool, sweet, refreshing and so darn good!!!

I fell asleep in the car on the way home and Gabby G ALMOST fell asleep too, she's the one who's driving... talk about accidents... well, at least we are alive and well...

That's the end of Kenting trip... crazy, frustrating, hot, exciting and just plain, good ol' fun!

婕咪的五連拍...

2008-04-14T01:15:00.000-07:00

這是春假的前一天.....
我幫宇婕上英文課...
阿咪突然拿了她的binoculars
就跟我說：台台，我幫妳拍照
我跟阿婕就開始擺pose
阿咪就站在那邊，從她的binoculars看這我們
都沒出聲。。。
我就跟她說：阿咪，妳要數123阿

她說：好！1...2...3! 再來一張，好...要笑笑喔...笑笑喔...這樣好...1...2...3!
然後她又說：台台再來一張喔！來，笑笑！
阿婕就突然擺一個臭臉。。。
就被阿咪罵了：吳宇婕，這樣不好，這樣不好看，要笑笑（還擺這笑笑的臉給宇婕看）
我很好奇，就問她：咪，你怎麼知道要笑笑，怎麼知道拍照要這樣子，誰教妳的
她回答說：沒有阿，沒有人教我，我自己知道阿（啊！神奇）
她又說：好再拍一張。。。。。
她又沒有講話了，我就說：阿咪，數123
她就說：1...2...8...9...
我跟阿婕笑翻了！！！被我們的攝影師罵！不要笑啦！她說
這樣不好看啦！不要再笑了！！！

我跟她說：咪，我幫你跟姊姊拍好不好？
阿咪點了頭，我就拿我的相機出來。。。
我說：好準備了沒？好。。。1...2...3! 漂亮！再一張。。。
我就突然想到，可以幫他們拍五連拍。。。
我就跟她們說：我們拍個五連拍好不好？
阿咪說：什麼是五連拍？
阿婕說：好！
我就開始解釋了。。。
五連拍就是我幫你拍五次照片，每一張要有不一樣的動作
我說1，妳要做一個動作，然後2，另外一個動作，3，又另外一個動作。。。
這樣懂嗎？　阿咪說：恩，我知道了
過幾次練習，還有動作給她們看，我們終於拍出了不錯的五連拍
以下是我們五連拍的成果，請欣賞：

4/4：高雄之旅

2008-04-13T23:24:00.000-07:00

4月4日也是正修春假的第一天

也是剛好Dunn, Ruby 有時間來高雄玩
Mona 也是從桃園一起過來
他們4月3日已經到達高雄，只是沒辦法陪他們出去玩玩
跟Dave(我的菲律賓best friend)講說：終於可以看到Dunn了
Dunn已經來了好幾個月，他已經跟我弟(Dan)見過面了
我們現在才可以見面。。。

先做個簡單的介紹吧：
Dunn是我中學的同學也是我的machi，我們中學的時候一起寫專題的
他現在在南台念研究所
Mona是中學跟我同一屆，也是念我們母校～菲律賓中正學院
也是Dunn跟Ruby的大學同學，現在在桃園工作
Ruby是Dunn跟Mona的大學同學
現在也在念南台的研究所

我這一天就是最忙的一天
我、思儀、沛江跟麗安陪他們繞高雄
但因為高雄較特別的地方都滿遠的
也不知道要帶他們去哪裡吃
and 較近的旗津、西子灣　他們也去過了
就選擇柏清介紹的古拉爵Cafe Grazie

定完位子，我跟麗安就去高雄火車站的捷運站跟他們碰面
跟Dunn 的咖啡色行李箱一起再搭高捷去大遠百
剛好也是大家1st time搭高捷

地方很elegant，東西又好吃的古拉爵Cafe Grazie
我們點了一個4人的party餐再加2份單人的餐
大家喊餓但都忙著聊天，沒人幫選吃什麼
大家說什麼都好，真是的
過了20分鐘跟Ruby討論
終於點到東西吃了~Thank God

邊吃邊聊，邊聊邊吃
過了幾個小時後才吃完
大家吃了好飽
吃完，Dunn就問我下一站是哪裡
我跟他說：較特別的地方還滿遠的
需要車子　那我們去有捷運的地方好了
這樣較方便。。。
我們又繼續搭捷運到中央公園站。。。
喔！超美的啦～拍幾張照片就想說可以帶他們去買一些東西吃
就去三鳳中街～他們三個也買了不少東西

晚上也剛好有跟羽喬、宏傑約要吃飯（但還是超飽的啦）
又再搭一遍捷運到中央公園再走去貴圓麻辣火鍋店
本來要約Dunn他們一起跟我們吃晚餐
因為還很飽就拒絕我們的邀約
Mona也該回桃園了
那個時候就大家說再見了
走了一個下午~發現好累喔

晚上就跟羽喬他們一起慶祝宏傑放假
吃完火鍋還跑去找惠卿~跟他聊聊天

因為隔天要跟劭潼and the gang去墾丁
所以那天要去劭潼家睡
剛坐沒多久，我開始喊說要回家了

我知道有點沒禮貌但因為怕拖進展哥的時間
（他要去火車站載我）所以跟我親愛的同學們告別了

趕著回宿舍，洗個澡又衝出去坐火車到屏東
好險有位子坐，超累的啦

這就是我第一天春假的行程
thought for the day: you will never realize how much you miss
someone or something until you see them again.
我沒想到會想念Dunn 他們，特別是Dunn(他是我machiㄋㄟ)
但那麼久沒見面，真的有想念他們喔

2008-04-10T00:02:00.000-07:00

2008-04-02T01:05:00.000-07:00

Gabby found a great coffee shop by mistake (a wonderful mistake) ...
It has good food, great view and a wonderful ambiance...

Lesson for the day:

Not all mistakes are bad... sometimes its for the better...

In life, we have to take a wrong turn now and then to find something better...

期待。。。

2008-03-28T01:30:00.000-07:00

不是期待你的愛喔　ㄎㄎ
我是期待春假的來臨！！！

needed a break la~~
唉~希望可以好好出去玩
所以現在阿　先把該做的事情用完
這樣才可以好好出去玩囉！

You will never be sure who your real friends are until.....

2008-03-26T18:31:00.000-07:00

Friends forever.....
That's a term that means something like 'til death do us part...
but marriage vows now should be changed to 'til divorce do us part...
As for friendship, well...
It should be "friends forever 'til a problem shows up..."
Everybody will tell you that he or she is your friend or your good friend
but when a problem comes up, goodbye my friend...

I consider myself lucky because my friends are real, not hypocrites
When I'm in trouble, they're there...
When I'm down and need a shoulder to lean on, they're there...
When I'm happy and wants to share great news, they're there...
When I'm angry and wanted to vent, they're there...
When I need advice or need an ear (just one haha), they're there...

Thanks you guys for everything... I consider you a part of my family...
Maybe not intermediate family members (in level, they are more important)
but you guys are still family...

Busy busy week

2008-03-26T18:25:00.000-07:00

These past two weeks is really a busy one...
visitors, paperworks, sidelines, reports and more...
It's a good thing that spring break is almost here...
But it will still be a busy one...
Busy having fun!!!!!!
hahaha

Well, that's one of my mottoes in life...

Work hard, play hard!!! YEAH!!!

afraid...

2008-03-23T18:52:00.000-07:00

(Sigh) I realize that I always give advice to people
especially on love but I'm actually afraid of it...
I'm not sure why...
Afraid to lose my freedom?
Afraid to be responsible of somebody else besides myself?
Afraid of commitment?

Not sure...

but I'm sure...
I'm afraid...

阿里山之旅 (嫩嫩的 QQ的還會ㄉㄨㄞ喔)

2008-03-18T04:51:00.000-07:00

高山青澗水藍
阿里山的姑娘美如水呀
阿里山的少年壯如山…
啊………啊………(套筒莫生氣)

我沒有要寫歌詞喔
想說先寫出一個feel ㄏㄏ

星期天(3月16日) 我、柯老師跟陳大哥
帶了日本小泉教授跟師母還有菲律賓Inigo教授去阿里山玩
可惜時間不夠沒有好好的欣賞阿里山
套筒，我們一定要回去阿里山玩喔　ㄎㄎ
我發現我好愛玩喔

但我覺得這樣是對的
現在還single要好好跟朋友出去玩
交了男朋友還是結婚後就不一樣了
所以enjoy while you still can!

PS 備註：要出去玩時 especially if 喜歡攝影的請注意：
　　　　你要約一個也喜歡攝影的人　不然你會很累喔

confession

2008-03-18T04:45:00.000-07:00

我有一個confession
我發現我會的中文單字很少
常常會忘記新學的字
而且文法也常常會寫錯

唉~那ㄝ阿ㄋㄝ
我要加油囉
不可以放棄
要很認真的學
才會進步
特別是現在要寫中文報告了

慘了~~~

family not by blood but by choice

2008-03-18T04:08:00.000-07:00

我前天（sunday)接到一通電話
聲音很熟悉又好像很陌生
原來是我乾姐，Megan
我突然發現，姐，我好想妳喔
回想到我們去墾丁那次
還有去西子灣吃冰跟看夕陽
感覺好好，好像姐妹在bonding一樣

下次姐說我們去花蓮(至穎哥哥的故鄉)
她要看鯨魚，我要看海豚　ㄏㄏ

好高興喔

好好笑是　我有姐又有個弟弟
全部是乾的　不是濕的喔（很冷我知道　哈哈）
跟我沒什麼親戚關係但感覺上我跟他們比我自己的親弟妹長的較像ㄝ
我都很珍惜我的乾姐跟我的乾弟還有我乾爹（印度教授Dr. Kesan）
我乾爹一直幫我買書　我乾弟（瑞豐）又很貼心
謝謝你們的照顧　希望可以永遠這樣子

親愛的我永遠是你的...

2008-03-18T03:50:00.000-07:00

Reprimanded...

2008-03-13T18:03:00.000-07:00

I was reprimanded today...
by someone close to me...
she said i cheated in someway...
but, of course, i don't agree ...

I was reprimanded once before...
because I was not committed to you...
I promised her I will change...
and I kept that vow to you...

My friend, I apologize...
I'm not uncommitted nor a cheater...
I promise you, I'll do my best...
and that promise will never break...

原來我不帥

快點來愛我 by 李玖哲
作詞：阿弟仔作曲：阿弟仔

Oh Baby 離開這個星球
換一個時空或許有人懂得欣賞我
小時候媽媽說美男子不多
捧的我搞的我跌得更重
浪漫愛情故事中主角不是我
喜劇情節無厘頭嘲笑的是我
情歌唱得再溫柔只有mic陪我
怎麼做怎麼做誰能救我
快點說愛我愛我
快點來愛我愛我快點說愛我愛我
來愛我愛我
Oh Hey Oh It's been so long
so many lonely nights
This is for her listen
壞天氣還不夠冷宮待的我發抖寂寞不斷提醒我
你不只哭過時候醜荒漠裡的自由在夢裡都遭數落
命運有多幽默被捉弄的人才懂浪漫愛情故事中
主角不是我喜劇情節無厘頭嘲笑的是我情歌唱得再溫柔
只有mic陪我怎麼做怎麼做誰能救我快點說愛我愛我
快點來愛我愛我快點說愛我愛我來愛我愛我
相信總有一天愛情來臨之前必先苦其一切
嚐到才更甘甜希望到那一天愛我的人出現世界變得完美
我愛你你愛我快點說愛我愛我快點來愛我愛我
快點說愛我愛我來愛我愛我

期待你的愛 by林俊傑
作詞：許環良林怡鳳
作曲：林俊傑

My Life 一直在等待
空蕩的口袋想在裡面放一份愛
Why 總是被打敗真的好無奈
其實我實實在在不管帥不帥

想要找回來自己的節拍
所以這一次我要勇敢大聲說出來
期待期待你發現我的愛
無所不在我自然而然的關懷
妳的存在心靈感應的方向
我一眼就看出來是因為愛
我猜你早已發現我的愛
繞幾個彎靠越近越明白
不要走開幸福的開始就是放手去愛

想要找回來 ( 想要找回來 ) 自己的節拍
所以這一次
我要勇敢大聲說出來
期待期待你發現我的愛
無所不在我自然而然的關懷
妳的存在心靈感應的方向
我一眼就看出來是因為愛
我猜你早已發現我的愛
繞幾個彎靠越近越明白
不要走開幸福的開始就是放手去愛

幸福的開始就是放手去愛

The Kite Runner VS A Thousand Splendid Suns

2008-03-11T22:34:00.000-07:00

Both books are really really great...
Kite runner tells a story in Afghanistan based from a little boy's point of view
while A thousand splendid suns is based from a girl's view...

After reading both books...
I am thankful for all the blessings I have...
I am thankful for my wonderful family...
I am thankful that life is kind to me...
I am thankful for the little things in life...
I learn to be satisfied with what I have...
I learn to be patient and kind...

Everyone, read these 2 books if you have the chance...
Kite Runner is also made into a movie now...

Humor Them...

2008-03-10T19:46:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday, Diana, Lool and I were discussing about an article in the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" entitled "Humor Them". The article is actually teaching us to humor people around us. It says something like: "after sometime, we meet a group of people who think they have all the answers. Humor them."

People come and go as we continue our journey through life, some make us smile, some make us cry, others make us so mad that you want to burst out and say what the #@%!*&?%@!..... you know what I mean?!?

After discussing the article, I never thought I would use that term so soon.
I actually need to use the term the very next day just to make myself calm...
humor them, humor him, humor her..... humor them all...

I promise myself from now on 想開一點..... humor... humor everything that makes you crazy...
just humor them...

crazy... childish... yet, happy...satisfied...contented...

2008-03-06T16:52:00.000-08:00

crazy... childish... yet, happy...satisfied...contented...

These friends... these crazy friends... these childish friends...
Can't live with them ... can't live without them...
Did stupid things yesterday and so childish yet funny and fresh in some ways...

Happy... coz the ice is not only melting but its totally thawed out...
I thought we (you and I) will remain acquaintances forever...
I'm glad the cold winter has ended and our spring, with new flowers blossoming,
is here again... greater than before...

This group of friends..... the feelings... no matter what...
no matter when...even if we never meet again in the future...
will always remain, until the end of time...

阿咪，對不起我愛你。。。

2008-03-04T18:39:00.001-08:00

This is a message for Gogee (阿咪),
my little girl-friend

I'm sorry I didn't visit you yesterday...
I hope you understand...

Friends, don't think too much
Gogee is the daughter of one of my director, Sardis.
We were never close before but when we went to a trip
before Chinese New Year... BOOM!!!
we were suddenly connected
It's weird but we really just became close...

A weird thing happened yesterday
I plan to visit Gogee yesterday then I thought that
she might feel sad again by the time we will say goodbye
and she will annoy her mom to visit me and Gabby in the office
So... I decide not to go (to save everyone all the trouble)
But I dreamt of her that night and in my dream
I'm apologizing to her about..... I don't know what exactly but
I really felt guilty about something
Until now (its already 11 AM), I still feel guilty (for no reason at all)

(sigh) Gogee's effect on me.....

李聖傑-好想她

2008-02-29T23:13:00.000-08:00

李聖傑-好想她
詞:李焯雄/sam 曲:sam/masa

好想她好想她親愛的你知道嗎
心裡話別藏啊愛的音符聽到嗎~

扶桑花的初夏珍珠浪花把臉頰貼臉頰一起融化
shalala 小雨打你願意嗎我問她~~
粉紅色的櫻花最終落下落了單的牙刷分外疲乏
shalala 小雨打你在哪啊好想她~~~啊

好想她好想她好想聽~她說說話
一個人不算家好想抱她我的她
好想她好想她好想跟~她說說話
準備了好久啊親口說這句話好愛好愛她

看~那星光為了你想摘下給你這一生能~依靠的肩膀

櫥窗裡飄雪花空氣冷嗎你下巴往下壓是拒絕嗎
shalala 小雨打傷了你嗎我問他~~
眉兒彎淚汪汪可愛模樣背行囊找情郎
遠在他鄉一天天一夜夜走向流沙好想她

好想她好想她好想聽~她說說話
聞聞她的頭髮好想吻她我的她
好想她好想她好想跟~她說說話
準備了好久啊親口說這句話好愛好愛她

好想她好想她好想聽~她說說話
聞聞她的頭髮好想吻她我的她好想她好~想她
一起無盡在掙扎這愛戀這情話只想用心唱首情歌告訴她

Although I don't have anyone special right now, this song makes me sooooooo in love.
Every time I hear the first line, the image of my special someone keeps showing up in my mind.
I still don't know who he is but I know he's somewhere out there.

臨時墾丁

2008-02-29T18:14:00.001-08:00

This trip is called <臨時墾丁> for a reason.....
The plan began to form on our way home from a dinner party with some friends. One of our friends, Angela (the second one from the left), was very restless and she still wants to go out and have fun. Out of the blue, this little lady suddenly shouted out, "I KNOW!!! LET'S GO TO KENTING AND WATCH THE SUNRISE!" Everybody was so surprise with her outburst and looked at her like she's out of her mind (well, you can't blame us right?!?)... We also asked her if she is sure... its already almost midnight and since we are living in the university dorm, we have to be in no later than 1:00 in the morning. She keeps on saying she's very sure... and she also said: "Don't you see? Now is the right moment, with the right people and the right feeling. Who knows when will we be this crazy again?!? When we get old, we will always remember this crazy trip. Let's live life to the fullest. Right here, right now!"
We continue discussing for a few more minutes and everyone got caught with the excitement. We then decide to GO!!!
We all went back to our dorm rooms (Angela, Megan (my sister in Taiwan) and I) to prepare and get the stuff we need. Uncle and Kelly also went home to get their stuff. We plan to meet outside our dorm at 1:00 AM.
During the ride to Kenting, everyone was so excited... Uncle played a song of the Backstreet Boys, Larger Than Life, which really fits the mood.
It was almost 4 AM when we arrived at Heng Chun to see the sunrise. When we started seeing the rays of the sun, we started walking toward the direction of the sea. There were actually a lot of people. It was my first time to see the sunrise this way and I will never forget it. It was so beautiful. Seeing the sun rising slowly makes me look forward to the future. It actually gave me a sense of security. It felt like the sun is saying "Today is a new day. Do whatever you like, no planning just go with the flow. I got your back". Well, I really did experience a lot of "first" during this trip. First time to go on a trip on an impulse... first time to see the sunrise (I usually sleep through it)... first time to ride the banana boat and join other water activities. It was great!!! I will really remember this trip as long as I live. It was fun fun fun! We really have to thank Angela for this trip. If it weren't for her craziness, we might not have this memorable trip. Thanks Angela. It was great too that it was the five of us who went to this trip... I'm not sure if the feeling will also be the same if it is not the five of us, Angela, Megan, Kelly, Uncle and I, who went. Thanks you guys! You guys made the whole trip memorable.

Endless.....

2008-02-21T00:57:00.001-08:00

Although life is not endless...
Although wealth is not endless...
Dreams, choices and possibilities are...
Just use them well...
and limited things would seem endless...
