Eslites with Memories

Our first date, and the last.
Started from 10 PM, ended around 12.
I subconsciously grabbed an editorial book with comments toward our society, and you laughed with the comment "See? Who's studying political science?" and I blushed...

The bookstore is as bright, clean, comfortable as it always is.
The only difference is- our images no longer exist.

Our first date, and the last.....

Learn! Wendy: [遠見]金磚四國褪色 波灣世紀來臨

Learn! Wendy: [遠見]金磚四國褪色 波灣世紀來臨

波斯灣地區所謂的滾滾錢潮、人潮、無止盡機會看起來很不可思議沒錯,可是我在閱讀的時候不斷縈繞腦中的主流思想是:波斯灣都不波斯灣了,中東都不中東了....

當地國家政府傾全力發展自己地方、國家的特色,投入基礎建設,改善國民生活環境,轉化原本只單純依靠原物料的產業型態,升級成可以發展觀光業或其他產業的環境......一切的立意看起來都很美好,勇於做夢、更敢投資的魄力也讓許多其他地方、其他人羨慕不已。

可是身為一個愛好旅行者,我開始恐懼於在這些地區、這些國家中發現另外一種"Made in China"現象--我何必要坐個飛機大老遠飛到波斯灣感受人造台北、人造東京、人造倫敦、或者人造巴黎?

文 中另外提到他們將擁有世界上的四大博物館/美術館進駐生活圈,是多少人要去欣賞那麼多的藝術品?又以羅浮宮為例,「羅浮宮XX分館」帶給人們的吸引力是一 回事,典雅的藝術作品是跟迪士尼樂園一樣可以四處複製、再造的嗎?就算很多的人潮因為這些偉大的建設搬入了波灣生活圈,當他們想要一親羅浮宮芳澤的時候, 為何要捨前往羅浮宮這麼美好、完整的夢而逐「XX分館」?

怪了,是只有我對於杜拜風感冒嗎?.....

Look at Here!!!!

Happy Easter!

Teddi shared with me the egg from Iceland.

He said that all kids will get one on the Easter and including the shell, the wrapping, and the contents, they can get tons of chocolates. Sounds terrific!

It is a big egg, 25 cm tall!
Kids must be very happy on Easter.
I'd like to be a kid there, too!
:D

Although we don't celebrate it here in Taiwan,

Happy Easter!

Snap, Chinese or English Version

Recently when browsing the blogs of some noted Blogger, like RickyLee, I found some great little interesting tools to use. Besides the tool to make Chinese stickers for websites/blogs, I love Snap most! Later when you folks are browsing my site, it's easier for you to have a quick peep on the outside link before you go for a look! Oh yes~ I love Snap! Hope you too!

Wonder World! Cool Pictures!

[轉錄]甜美的剎那

甜美的剎那

Posted on 2005-11-13 17:25 柯裕棻

幾年前,某個心理醫生朋友給了我一個積極的建議,他說,偶爾心情不好情或緒低迷的時候,只要想想快樂美好的事情,寫下來列成一張單子,想辦法實現一兩個,心情就會明顯好轉了。


  他說,不能預先開一張清單貼在牆上,必須是每次低潮都靜心坐下來,仔細想過再寫出來。

說也奇怪,這件事剛開始實行的時候真是非常困難,大概是因為心情不好之際事物總是以負面的姿態悄悄浮上心頭,即使強迫自己想起一兩件美好的事物,還是缺乏將它們寫下來的興致,即使寫了,也缺乏實行的力氣。


  然而,這個單子的奇妙之處在於,它像個咒語遊戲,這些事物寫下來後,就白紙黑字的成了快樂的定義,不論能夠實現幾個,單單只是開列一張清單,儘列著美好的事物,就彷彿偷偷地對自己下了快樂的咒。


  這非常像普魯斯特對於過往時光的看法,他認為那些時光並非真的逝去了,而是悄悄地融入自己,隱匿在自己的深處,然後,也許在某個不由自主的時刻,透過某一種 意外的召喚,記憶的隔板會鬆開,那特別的剎那會全部湧現,那些看似失去的光陰會被召喚回來。這樣的經驗無法由理性的觀察而得致,必須依賴詩意的偶然,那種 偶然的瞬間,也是打敗時光的永恆瞬間,這樣的快樂簡直難以言喻。


  所以練習寫這種單子,只是一種召喚的訓練,讓感覺和記憶處於開放的可能狀態。


  美好的事物一旦開始浮現,就會宛若春雨那樣細細密密地包圍妳,一絲接著一絲,貼著肌膚,往心裡滲去。有一些是莫名閃現的念頭,有一些是長久以來不時想念的物體、光線、氣味、聲音、觸覺、或僅僅只是一種淡淡的說不出來的感覺,某種剎那的甜美,或是清明。


  單子上的指涉越來越複雜,寫下的事物逐漸轉化為某種難以言說的剎那,越細緻,也越朦朧。一開始的時候寫的是游泳,後來就漸漸變成了「七月的下午,映在牆上的 游泳池的波光與游泳者晃動的影子和笑聲」;如果一開始寫的是陽光,後來就擴散成「躺在落地窗邊曬太陽午睡的貓身上的光澤」或是「外婆家的日本房屋窗口,陽 光裡向上漂浮的塵埃」;如果是烏龍茶,漸漸就化成「手摘有機炭焙烏龍的第三泡發出來的那種桂花香」;或是從「李梅樹的畫」變成「李梅樹畫的女子那種淡淡的 假日時光的悠閒,某一種星期日的下午靜止」;從泡澡延伸成「檀香味的泡沫和水氣」;沒事做的夜晚變成「閑閑的晚上一邊聽德布西鋼琴練習曲一邊在餐桌上啃蘋 果讀小說的心情」;味增湯變成「味增湯裡手工絹豆腐上的蔥花,比例均衡,散亂而完美」。


  不過,巧克力蛋糕始終都是巧克力蛋糕──無可取代的快樂,巧克力本身就是一種甜美的剎那。


  當然還有非常具體的形式,例如,大笑的孫燕姿的下頦是一種快樂的線條﹔吹著風的陳綺貞的肩胛骨;抽著煙誰都不理的王菲的背影(她似乎只有背對著世界的時候才會快樂);或者Belle & Sebastian的曲子,縹緲得不像話。


  我一點一點慢慢兒列出這樣的單子,實體的世界一層層剝落,從固定的形式溶解成某種感覺。但是只有在非常偶爾的幾次,非常偶爾,無意間我會觸電也似地想起微不足道的往事,進入一種莫名的迴盪時刻,並且像意外按下重複播放的曲子那樣,再一次,重新活過那個時空。


  有一次,我和一位不怎麼熟的朋友在秋天某個將雨的星期日下午到大直某一家咖啡館去,我點了咖啡拉堤和夾酸乳酪與番茄切片的三明治。整個陰天的下午,我們都期待著雨,即使坐在咖啡店陽台上喝咖啡的時候,我們還半生不熟地聊著等會兒下雨怎辦呢沒有帶傘這樣的話題。


  閑晃胡扯的幾個小時,雨始終沒有下來。卻在我們終於離開咖啡館走向停車處的時候,在那短短的五分鐘裡,傾盆大雨迫不及待地,啪搭啪搭狠狠地下了。我們一邊大叫,一邊大笑,我說,哎呀這雨根本是不懐好意等著我們的。


  說完這句話,下雨的宇宙似乎亂了,我忽然回到十二年前,另一個場合,另一個地點,另一場雨中的奔跑,另一個人曾經這樣在雨中大笑著,對我說過這樣的話,那句 話被我忘了,卻在這個剎那由我自己無意識召喚了出來。這場雨是一條連結過往和未來的途徑,即使此刻坐在電腦前,我還是可以想起它,還有更久遠之前的那一場 雨。生命的縱深因此而拉得很長很遠。


  世界總是如此,事物的表象之下蘊藏了無限的細節,如果不仔細思索,那無限的意義就輕易錯過了,塵封著,表象只是起起伏伏的片刻而已。但是如果仔細看它,想它,那麼這所有的細節就如同神秘難解的夢境,在莫名其妙的時刻浮現,攫取我們的感覺。


  這時我們會驚訝,枝微末節的每一天,原來都像海洋那樣蘊藏深沉,那樣複雜。


---


很甜,很溫暖的一篇文章。

但願我也有這樣的閑情雅緻,可以常常細細的品味自己的生活,回溯記憶中的任何一點滋味。

我也希望自己能夠有一點她的文采,把每一點點的感動都記錄下來,讓未來有一天,可以認真品味:)

SHE~

She may be the face I can't forget,
the trance of pleasure or regret,
may be my pleasure or the price I have to pay.

She may be the song that summer sings,
may be the chill that autumn brings,
may be a hundred of different thing
within a measure of a day.

She may be the beauty or the beast,
may be the famine or the feast,
may turn each day into a heaven or a hell.

She may be the mirror of my dreams,
a smile reflected in a stream,
she may not be what she may seem,
inside her shell.

She who always seem so happy in a crowd,
who's eyes can be so private and so proud,
no one's allow to see that when they cry.

She may be the love that cannot hold to last,
may come to me from shadows of the past,
that I'll remember till the day I die.

She may be the reason I survive,
the why and wherefore I'm alive,
The one I'll care for through the rough and ready years.

Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears
and make them all my souvenirs,
for where she goes I've got to be
the meaning of my life is she.

She....
oh She....


I was in bed, stayed all alone in the house.
I played music to accompany myself before going for a rest in the afternoon, and when I woke up in the dark, this song sang gently by FeiXian.....

She may be the reason I survive, the why and wherefore I'm alive....

It nearly broke my heart.....
So wanna fall in love in that moment :)

YenZi Said...

She once got an experience to proclaim her feelings to a guy through Email, but no positive reply back. That guy went abroad soon later, and YenZi doesn't even know where he is now. He just traveled a lot.....

Well, this situation sounds familiar.
So many friends asked me the same question when they finally reached me online or through Email: "Where exactly are you now, Wendy?" Maybe things will turn worse later?
(But I doubt if the proclaimation part will ever happen to me =.=)

頸椎、胸椎、腰椎都歪了

請大家叫我一聲:病入膏肓人~

今天又拜訪了中醫診所,再次呼天搶地,並嚴重到把陳醫師從看診間"震"到推拿室來。
再次摸了摸我的背脊線,他對林推拿師作出了以下的指示:
"太緊了,整條肌肉都太緊了。一步一步來,適可而止。"
印象也很深刻的是,皮皮目睹+聽完我的呼天搶地,在籠子裡的他也哀嚎了兩聲.....
是有樣學樣嗎?=.= 還是他也對姐姐被人欺負心生不捨?
(根本就是姐姐想太多...)

喔~順帶一提的是,我今天也破紀錄的讓針扎上了我的頭....
超緊張的啊!!!!一根根針戳進你頭裡誰不緊張啊!!!!
而且不是一根喔,是五根....
陳醫師在扎針的時候我超級認真的把位置都記下來,深怕過了幾分鐘他來拔針的時候漏拔了哪一根那不就糗大了?
我不要把針帶回家....而且是帶在頭上回家.....
我這種超容易緊張+昏倒的個性好在有一個小女生在旁邊拼命繞著我問東問西(問皮皮的事情)才分散了我的注意力,說來也真是要感謝她,不然搞不好我還會在中醫師診所上演昏倒記....
(是低!皮皮今天又出門"看病"囉~
醫師們還在偷偷說"慘了~這下都被皮皮學走了~以後我們吃什麼?")

差點忘了提,我這個病入膏肓人還有一項潛在病症喔!
根據醫生判斷,我的感冒症狀繼續延燒下去很可能就連中耳炎都要黏上我了...
哎呀...怎麼可以這麼嚴重呢...

各位看倌!請保重身體啊!!!!!

媽媽八卦力

病得半生不死,於是加入了媽媽前往中醫師那裡去給人家拔罐、針灸、推拿的行列。
很久不見的陳醫師看到我們很開心,
"哎呀校長~您來了就不用客氣,直接去熱敷就好!"
"校長的女兒簡稱*校女*,來!請進!"
(我...累歸累,腦筋還是正常的,這種冷冷的笑點正常的時候、病了的時候都笑不出來...)
跟前一天另一位冷冰冰李醫師的態度果真天差地別啊~
(附註:以後生了病也要記得記得!說什麼也要撐到晚上再去給晚班的陳醫生看....)
坐下來的第一時間,陳醫師開口了:"最近一次聽到妳的八卦,是那個新加坡人~"
然後他開始很認真的問我病情,留下我自己一個人莫名奇妙的內傷加劇....
(媽!你真的是來看病嗎....中醫據我所知沒有包含心理治療吧XD)
之後是頗正常的醫療行為這完全沒話講,醫師、推拿師對*校女*的"特別照顧"有加,
身為一個只好任他們擺佈的病人,我該呼天搶地的時刻也一點沒有漏掉,
背上該青一塊紫一塊(黑一塊)的位置也全部都盡責的一一浮現。

除此之外,躺著在忍受拔罐、針灸之苦的時候,最有趣的是還可以聽醫師們和病人對話,
尤其聽到了不少關於我家皮皮的對話.....
(是的各位觀眾!我們連去看中醫皮皮都會跟著去...不過為了避免他貓飛貓跳,他會被關在籠子裡)
鄉親啊~這真是一隻人見人愛人見人愛談的貓咪啊!

坦白說除了皮肉之苦以外,我越來越喜歡去這家中醫診所,
喜歡陳醫師、喜歡貼心會為人設想的晚班櫃檯姐姐、喜歡林推拿師。
(真的!以後說什麼都要撐到晚班的人出現的時候再去看病!!)
雖然今天還有另一個插曲:
櫃檯姐1:校長妳好!又來啦!
媽:對啊~我昨天弄了比較舒服,就想說今天再過來。
櫃檯姐1(歪頭看我):妳帶女兒過來喔?這個長得比較不一樣耶...校長妳有幾個女兒啊?
我:...一個...可能是因為今天看起來比較憔悴...
櫃檯姐1:真的喔!真的差很多耶!
。。。。。。

好嘛....我就是病了啊XD

Let's Welcome the Swedish!

Zoye and Mimi went to Sweden serving in Vasärö campsite last year, and they got visitors this March!

Clara and Malin flew 24 hrs to do their high school graduation project. They'll stay in Taiwan for 2 weeks and visit lots of places to have first-hand, clearer picture of "where, and what is Taiwan." Sounds like an exciting project isn't it?

Old street @ SanXia


I was responsible for taking them around on Saturday, and partly involved in the Sunday schedule. Since their project was sponsored by two organizations- one is a Scout organization, the other is the Leo Club- they need to investigate our Scouting. Also, their project included visit to some temples, and tea gardens in Taiwan. These made our planning much easier.
LinYin, Clara & Malin

First, my plan included a half-day visit to the school-based scout group- WanXing Elementary cubs & brownies. As for the community-based scout group? They'll visit our 400-member Firewood Open Scout Group the next day. Come back to the Saturday afternoon, we went to SanXia ChinXuei TsuShih Temple 三峽清水祖師廟 to appreciate the classic temple and the antique old street. I explained to them the Taoism gods and rituals, and shared with them our famous diet style. They asked me questions on the way, and of course I knew a lot about their Swedish lives. In the middle of our journey in SanXia, Malin said "this is the atmosphere we expected to feel when we came to Taiwan. Crowded, a little bit chaotic, and got so close to local people's lives." I fully understood her, and I was happy to be the one that helped them to find the feeling.

Later, we came back to Taipei for ZhiNan Temple 指南宮 in the mountains. Besides the introduction of the God of the Gods, sure should I tell them about the "Handsome God" Lu Tung-Pin, and how according to saying that he would tell lovers apart.
"We were here alone, without our boyfriends. It should be fine, right?" Malin asked me carefully.

ZhiNan Temple

....
"Let's say.... My mom and dad came here for a walk often, and I find NO problem among this two. How do you think?"
Malin got a relief smile on her face, and we happily walked into the temple to find the "Handsome God." hahahaha.....
(I later told Mom: "Ooops, I kind of fall in love with introducing our gods and temples to foreigners...It's so much fun!!!" freak me~~)

Already in the MaoKong area, we would not spare the chance to have a quick visit to the Tea Promotion Center, neither will we let go the chance to fulfill their goal of visiting the "tea garden". Without a second thought, we brought them to YaoYuei 邀月 tea house for dinner and waited for others to join us. I've successfully satisfied Clara- a vegetarian's- requirement at lunch by introducing them Green Onion Pancake 蔥油餅. And I was very ambitious to do a great job again! With some discussion with Dad, I choose five dish: Pineapple with shrimp 鳳梨蝦球、Rice Noodle with Tea Oil茶油麵線、Chinese Lettuce 炒高麗菜、Tofu on Iron Board鐵板豆腐、Vegetable Dumplin素蒸餃 and only the last one failed its mission! THEY LOVED ALL THE REST~~~~
(All the photos came from online albums but not from our restaurant.
Sorry, I didn't take photo of our food that day:P Thanks to all the photo providers!!)

I got another reason to feel proud of myself. Don't you think so?

by 李怡志: Google Adsense的真實成本

Google Adsence放在我這種只有親朋好友才會來訪的Blog上似乎不是普通的浪費,效益無敵低,當時放來玩的主要目的其實也只是好奇想看看"到底會怎麼樣"。如果李怡志那種高點閱率的Blog也只能收到區區千元左右的Adsence收入,我看我得等到民國200年才能有點小賺頭吧...:P

Anyways, 要靠網路賺錢的人家,還是得要三思,或者得要加把勁呦!
