When Gundam met Transformer

幫某人記下他昨天在路上聽到的三句名言

一、
仁愛路上某國小畢業典禮結束,三個小女生興奮的走出校門,在校門口大叫︰「We graduated from elementary school!」

二、
還是同一所國小,一個小男生興奮的走出校門,大喊︰「我變成青少年啦!」

三、
火車站附近的Kmall裡面,鋼彈專賣店前,一個小男孩很開心的指著大鋼彈模型對牽著他的手的爸爸媽媽說︰「看,變形金剛耶!」


真是讓人覺得年輕真好哪。對成長充滿嚮往,對於邁入新的階段感到萬分期待與興奮,即使把機器人跟外星人搞混了也沒關係,我也想要找回這樣的感覺,就算是一點點也好。

Pretty Little Mistakes...

標題是一本書名,中文書名是美麗的小錯誤。因為看了某學長blog上的介紹覺得應該是本很有趣的書,所以在書店裡看到也沒多想就把它搬回家了。

我真的超吃後設這概念的,這本書打從第一節就是將讀者置身為主角,從高中畢業開始說起,每一章節最後都會提供兩個選擇,讀者在從自己的選擇跳至不同的小故事,每個故事都是起始於上一個決定,之後又會面臨新的選擇,跟人生真的很像。

但看了幾節之後就覺得有點後悔了,雖然我喜愛這個不斷抉擇的設定,但故事實在太淺薄了,本身無法承載(或是配不上)如此引人入勝的設定。也許作者想要表達看似安全的選擇不一定會帶來好的結果,也許有時候拋開一切選擇最狂野或是危險的選項才能夠體驗到難得的樂趣或滋味。但不知道怎麼說,就是這種有點意圖反弄現實價值觀的東西看起來才讓人覺得陳舊或是老調。而且作者的腦袋感覺有點過於簡單的叛逆,對於現實的反避可能就是呼草或是吞興奮劑,或是去歐洲來趟自我放逐之旅,對於可能都會選擇更簡單或是疏懶的手段的我來說,這些選項都太沒有認同感了,無法作為觀覽自己人生的反影,反而比較像是少女的一場白日夢境或是隨手打發時間又寫不到心裡的心理測驗。

所以即使書封上號稱有150種結局,我試了幾條路之後就決定把書拿去退掉。妄想在心理測驗中得到人生的解答是不可能的啊。

Crossroads

如果在不寫些東西,四月很快就要過去了,這裡又要乾掉了。

但文字跟乳溝不一樣,硬擠也不見得擠的出來。
近況是繼Slumdog Millionaire跟Twilight的原聲帶之後,最近沈迷的音樂是Lady Gaga,Poker Face真是太銷魂了。
然後四月吃了超多次飲茶,糖朝好遜,大家不要去。
「裸で何か悪い?!」這句話真的太酷了,對草阿剛真是另眼相看,這是真ROCKER吧!
我不想長大,所以買了三件卡通T-shirts,希望去湘南海岸的時候可以穿上我最愛的flip-flops,卡通T加上小短褲,在海邊大吼大叫。
好想複習幾部愛情喜劇,我最愛一開始兩人互看不順眼但慢慢相處之後發現對方是真愛的戲碼。

我詞窮了,現在身處在人生的交叉路口,需要想清楚,老天爺請再給我一點時間。

其實還蠻詭異的,居然出現三首柴咲コウ的歌,而且三首都還算是我沒什麼感覺的歌曲,我的itune好像很不了解我呢。而且居然一首Mr.Children都沒有,有一點小失落。22首歌裡面有7首是來自電影或電視的原聲帶,算是比例蠻高的吧。但無論如何,請不要在我的葬禮上放Backstreet Boys的Drowning……,如果死後有靈魂還會在這個世界上遊蕩一陣子的話,我會好好考慮一下我在葬禮上想聽到哪些歌的。

最後本來想要放一首我最近很入迷在聽的歌:Linkin Park的Leave Out All The Rest,但一時之間找不到適合的視頻。那就來聽一首很適合星期天早上聽的歌吧(雖然現在已經是星期天晚上了)。

Jai Ho

看完Slumdog Millionaire已經好幾天了,但是腦海裡不時還是會響起最後Jai Ho的旋律跟熱舞。好想把這段舞學起來喔!

25 Random Things about Me

Below is a note I posted in my facebook. It took me a lot of time but it's fun! 

Rule: Once you've been tagged you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you it's because I want to know more about you.

To do this, go to "Notes" under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner) then click publish.


1. My favorite color is purple.

2. In a city, even though it usually takes more time, I prefer bus rather than tube.

3. I didn't take neither joint high school entrance exam nor joint college entrance exam while most of students in Taiwan had to at that time.

4. My all-time favorite disney animation is "The Little Mermaid". The original ending of the tale is too hard for me. Thank disney for giving the story a happy ending! I like the film so much that I once wanted to name myself "Ariel".

5. I am the firstborn of my family. My sis is two and half years younger than me. Now we live together but sometimes, we still have fights. My bro is almost twelve years younger than me. We share the same birth animal, rooster.

6. I like most of the vegetables. Here are some of my favors: aubergine (it's purple!), bell pepper, bitter melon, taro and oyster mushroom (杏鮑菇). Yet there are some i don't eat: garlic chives (韭菜), enokitake (金針菇) and jelly fungus (木耳). I don't like carrot either.

7. My favorite animal is monkey! When i was little, i did hope i can be one year older so that i can have monkey as my birth animal.

8. My family lived in Mucha (木柵) when I was still very little and my grandparents will take me to the zoo when then came visit us. In the zoo, i would ask my grandparents to buy ice cream for the elephants, but actually, I was the one that ate all ice cream!

9. I didn't have too many male classmates. Had 4 male classmates at first and second grades in elementary school and had 3 for the rest of the years. I went to girl high school for 6 years. And in college, there were around 12 (more or less) male classmates in our department.

10. I got sunstroke twice.

11. I have tendency of motion sickness, including carsickness, seasickness and airsickness.

12. I haven't seen the trilogy of Lord of Rings, neither the films nor the books.

13. Music, book and film that changed my way of thinking: Igor Stravinski's "The Firebird" & "The Rite Of Spring", Italo Calvino's "If On A Winter's Night A Traveler", Alain Resnais's "Hiroshima mon amour".

14. I like reading detective novels.

15. I've had a fear of dogs since i was little. In order to cure my dog phobia, my mother kept a dog as our family pet at my third grade in elementary school. As a result, I didn't fear our dog but i still have fear of other dogs.

16. I hate any mint-flavored stuff. One christmas, i received a box of mint-flavored chocolate from my mum as christmas gift...

17. I've been keeping my chinese name for all occasions for some years. But i did have an english name used in college and high school, Claire. Also, I had a spanish name, Claudia. We needed to have one when we took spanish course in college.

18. If I can have a magic skill, I want to become invisible!

19. I don't have any body piercing.

20. I have never dyed my hair.

21. I think being punctual is a basic courtesy.

22. I think I'm a shy person and sometimes I do feel uncomfortable with people standing too close to me.

23. My favorite time among a day is morning, my favorite day among a week is friday and my favorite season among a year is autumn.

24. I know it's bad but I always leave things to last minutes.

25. I hope one day I can make a trip to outer space.
