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.

@ Berlin

來柏林總是有些儀式性的事情非做不可

吃豬腳-吃了,一如以往總是太大吃不完
看電影跟明星-今年到現在看的電影不是很多,但看了The Reader已經覺得很值得,而且也看到Kate Winslet本人,很美很親民,嗚嗚電影很好哭,希望Kate可以拿最佳女主角,如果Kate真的拿到女主角,那Nicole Kidman也做了好事一件(大家對她都太苛刻了,她的電影賣不好,她錯的成份明明就比較少!)
吃冰淇淋-開心果口味的冰淇淋真是太讚了
購物-我買了影展的兒童T啦!等到之後比較清閒的時候就要去Zara看看有沒有什麼便宜可撿

據說明天會下雪,可以不要嗎?我真的很害怕下了雪地會很滑我會走不好~我想要有太陽,今年真是太冷了(天氣跟市場都是……)

今天晚上打算去看Rage,有扮演女裝癖的Jude Law,雖然他一直都不是我的菜。


關於The Reader想多說一點,可以在柏林這個城市看到這部電影有很特別的意義。二次世界大戰對世界上任何一個角落的人來說都是一件很沈痛的事情,對這個城市來說更是。而且在這場戰爭之下,所謂的加害者其實可能跟被害者一樣是很無力的,或是不得已必須在那個當下做出一些事情。但是關於被害者的故事我們看得比較多,很少有機會去看到所謂加害者的故事。很難得有這個機會看到這樣一個故事讓我有機會去思考一些東西,心情上有點受到震撼。柏林真的是一個很特別的城市,這裡有很美麗悠久的文化,柏林影展跟柏林愛樂都是讓在地人感到驕傲的文化指標,但他也是一個悲傷的地方,到現在都還是一個破產的城市,經濟上的發展也因為東西德的分裂無法與其他德國城市相比。但也可能就是這樣美麗與傷痛並存,讓這個地方有著更深邃的迷人之處。

@ HK Airport

因為等機的時間太長了,加上帶著的包包把手之處居然快要斷掉了(便宜的韓國貨用不久……)。所以就不小心在香港機場敗家了,是一個有好多外袋的包包,希望它可以像它的主人一樣勇猛耐操,呵呵。雖然現在港幣的匯率不算太好(遙想之前不到四的美好匯率啊……),就當是自己送給自己的新年禮物吧~耶。

科技實在太發達了,所以雖然照的不是很好,還是可以馬上就讓我的包包跟大家見面(笑)。


馬上進行乾坤大挪移把家當裝進新包包裡面,可以裝很多東西耶,開心開心!聽說柏林很冷,哎可不可以跳過這十天直接進行休假的部份呢(嘆氣)。

READY-SET-GO



其實我還沒有準備好,用一句很老套的話來說,我的心還留在石垣島-美麗的沙灘、炙人的陽光、悅耳的三線、青苦瓜與石垣牛的好味,好多時間,沒有煩惱。

但就像嘉年華會的狂歡帶來之後更嚴謹的秩序與規範,新年假期結束了。即使再怎麼不情願,還是要開始準備下一個行程的打包,要向前邁進!

短袖T恤跟四角褲只好先收進衣櫃裡,偷偷期待夏天快點到來。

*有人猜的出來右下角照片的那個影子是在比什麼嗎?

Happy New Year!

大家新年快樂~*

今年我有很好的迎接新年的到來喔。跟親愛的家人與可愛的朋友一起窩在溫馨的公寓裡面看紅白兼聊天,有好吃的食物、白酒跟點心,高昂的心情,溫暖的友情相伴。也到了河濱公園看絢爛的煙火、放了久違的仙女棒,有一種重返青春的感覺,超滿足超開心超幸福。相信有這麼開心的開始接下來的一年一定也會非常棒的。希望大家也都有個美好的開始跟充滿希望的二零零九。

很多時候很多事情不是微小的人可以改變或是決定的,活著本身就是一道困難的課題,但既然上天還沒有毀滅地球,我們還得以(情願或不情願地)繼續生存在這個殘缺的世界裡面,活著本身也不啻為奇蹟。

既然舊的一年結束了,那就把所有不好的壞的討厭的悲傷的負面的回憶都包起來彌封在過去吧;只用開心的健康的快樂的有希望的有力量的有勇氣的情緒來面對新的一年。這就是我的新年目標!

寫在這裡不一定所有的人都會看到,但是對於愛護我陪伴我容忍我照顧我支持我的所有親朋好友,真的謝謝你們了。我覺得接下來的一年我大概還會是個沒什麼長進的孩子,但還是請各位多多指教。


今年的新年之歌就是這首啦—崖の上のポニョ / 藤岡藤巻と大橋のぞみ
超歡樂的,聽了就會覺得很有元氣跟力量喔~ 
紅白的時候還可以看到妻夫木拿著ポニョ玩偶的畫面,超可愛———♥♥♥
