夢境:有關媽媽

傍晚的小寐裡,一個不是我媽媽的婦女慎重的幫我戴上一副手環。
我的衣著慎重典雅,她更是喜氣盈盈;低頭看,手環光彩奪目,若不是玉就是珍珠,或是細緻的黃金。

夢裡的我,似乎非常激動,所以含笑帶淚。
醒來後的我,也十分激動,但是無盡惆悵...

她,是否是我已經錯過了的那個媽媽?
思緒至此,為何我仍然無法按奈悲傷?

Wendy E-News[Fighting with life as a TWIT]

Hello my friends, how's life?

Time flies! What's so spectacular in the past half year on your side? How about me sharing mine first?

Subject number 1, work of course.
My fast food life with company K has passed 7 months surprisingly. It's a pleasure to utilize my digital marketing know-how and website/mobile development expertise in the current position. I felt especially lucky thanks to the great support and encouragement from IT and Operations department in the company. Outsourcing vendors and media buyers who have worked closely with me love me too-- I received much compliment directly and indirectly enough to be aware of it. How amazing!
Another part of the learning was about leadership. Interestingly I could see those role models who're always inspiring and caring, and see some horrible ones who made all those tragic decisions and drove people crazy-- or worse, leaving in light speed. As green as I am in the organization, I barely can do anything to combat the situation. However I could Always learn from the lessons-- NEVER do X, Y, or Z-- should I be a leader one day.

Next, about Life.
Previously I forgot to mention my two new habits in making: Belly Dancing, and Ukulele
Yes, these are totally random I know!

I started to learn belly dancing in True Yoga Taipei since September 2013. My adorable teacher Michelle and beautiful classmates from young lady to grandmas inspired me from day 1. I've joined two annual year-end performances in 2013 & 2014. I just couldn't help loving the move, the pose, the music, and the healthy, sexy self while dancing. Every Wednesday and Friday night is my default practice night, and I've tried my best to secure it from any other "disturbs." You know, belly dancing gives me a chance to discover my "wild" potential-- in my body, and in my soul.

As for Ukulele, I started it since April 2014 in WenShan Community College. Most of you should know that I've been playing the piano for years, but felt frustrated that I couldn't take it with me everywhere to share the joy of music. Ukulele fulfilled that part of my dream. My teacher Ms. Wang is marvelous too. Most of the classmates are elder moms while only few are around my age. She helped me pick up my long-lost music knowledge, gave me chances to assist others, and invited the class to join pro bono performances as much as we can to sharpen our playing skills and to be brave on stage. Best of all, most of us live in the WenShan district and gather together for practice or for fun in the nearby area often. I've enjoyed spending time with my classmates, and I got to know my neighborhood even better thanks to them.

How's that? Is this Wendy Young & Fabulous?

Some other time, I hangout with two other groups of people: one is my board-game buddies, the other is some crazy extreme sports lovers. The prior gathered every 2 to 3 weeks, the later went hiking, long boarding, ice skating, skiing, board-gaming, dancing (salsa/swing), biking, rock climbing, water skating, scuba diving, playing ukulele, and the list can continue.
Well, do I have Any chance to get bored?

Yes I am still single, and I'm still searching for the One. However I will remember to enjoy the spectacular moments like right now no matter what. And, I will LOVE myself as much as I'm doing right now.

It shall work to you too. Cheers!

Wendy報報之【輕熟女的奮鬥人生】

親愛的好朋友,一切好嗎?

不知不覺又過了大半年,你的生活,是否一樣豐富又精采?事不宜遲,跟你分享我這邊都發生了些什麼事。

第一題,工作。
我的K_速食人生不知不覺已經超過半年,把自己最擅長的數位行銷與系統開發經驗套用到現職,暢快地發揮,一題一題的協助公司解開重重關卡,成就感十分豐沛。尤其幸運的是,公司內IT與營運部門的主管與同事很器重我,媒體代理商與網頁開發商也因著我的專業與體貼很喜歡跟我配合,很樂意在能力所及之處多幫我一點,更不吝惜向主管或其他同事誇獎我,常讓我深受感動。
在這裡的另一部分學習,則是關於領導統御方面的。同個組織裏我可以看到讓眾人折服、真正領導者的風采,也同時可以看到集所有負面領導教材於一身的災難性案例,讓底下的人做得又忙、又累、又缺乏尊嚴,終致讓優秀人才不斷的流失,組織運作總在搖搖欲墜邊緣徘迴。因為自己人微言輕,也無法真的做到什麼了不得的大改變,只能不斷提醒自己:真正的領導者絕對不會做X、Y、Z,如果是我,絕對不能再犯這些錯!

其次,生活。
先前好像一直忘了提到我積極培養的兩項新技能:肚皮舞、烏克麗麗。
是的,我的人生就這麼跳痛~
我從2013年9月開始在True Yoga跟著Michelle老師學肚皮舞,迄今已經參加過兩次年度發表會,同班同學不乏辣妹辣媽辣阿嬤,我從第一次上課開始深深被這種舞蹈優美性感的姿態吸引,也像是被老師和同學們下咒一般,好愛混入人群中放肆舞動的自己。每週三五兩天晚上,我都會盡力排除萬難前往練舞,因為跳舞讓我感覺健康,因為肚皮舞開發我肢體的(和靈魂中的)性感潛能;

烏克麗麗則從2014年4月起在文山社區大學跟著王欣華老師學藝,同班的除了幾個年輕夥伴,多數是一票媽媽級長者,迄今也已經參與過兩次期中發表會和幾次其他的公益表演。朋友們多是知道的,我雖然鋼琴彈了很多年,但總苦惱於自己不能揹著鋼琴四處走跳,無法輕鬆地分享音樂的美好。學了烏克麗麗以後這個夢想得到實踐的機會,而且欣華老師不但非常樂於把我年久失修的樂理基礎撿回來,還很積極地邀請我們到各地公益公演,練膽量也練琴藝。又因為多數的同學都住在文山區,所以大家也常於課後約在政大、文山一帶練琴玩耍,讓我更認識自己所居住的地方,對家更有歸屬感。

你說,這樣的Wendy,是不是依然Young & Fabulous?

其他的時候,我也常跟兩群人互動:一群一起在G社玩桌遊而結識的朋友,一個「台北野孩子極限運動玩樂團」。前面這群每月玩一至兩次桌游,後面這群登山健行、玩滑板、溜冰刀、滑雪、玩桌遊、跳舞、騎腳踏車、攀岩、滑水、潛水、彈烏克麗麗...
看出來了嗎?跟這群有趣的朋友玩在一起,我怎麼可能無聊?

我仍然一個人,也仍然在尋找另一個人。然而追尋的過程中,我會記得繼續這麼認真地享受每個精彩時刻、這麼樣寵愛自己。共勉之!

願,一切都好!
