Keep In Mind

"我知道你注重很多無形的東西...不過偶爾替自己想一想吧~"

這樣動人的言論，我要牢牢的記下來。這是被了解、被在乎的感動啊~~~

Thank you!!!!!

Proud to Be Someone Like You

As passionate and idealistic as you are,

As organized and disciplined as you are,

As intellectual and creative as you are,

As prepared and down-to-earth as you are,

As kind and friendly as you are,

As international and open-minded as you are.

You might not know I've seen you as the role model of my life,

and I never plan to let you know.

It might be too early to make this statement,

but I deeply feel proud of being able to become someone like you.

I will keep trying, trying hard, to prove that I can be.

And I WILL BE :)

七夕悄悄滑過去了

浮上心頭的，卻是很淡很淡，在西洋情人節那天淺淺的，屬於我們的回憶。

我們甚麼都不是，只是恰巧在那個日子出門買菜，恰巧在那個晚上促膝長談；

莫名的聊了很多聊了很深，莫名的讓那躲之唯恐不及的霉日難得的彷彿快轉。

如今想起，還是忍不住要在臉上掛起一抹微笑。

狀態沒有改變，也可以視為有了巨大改變。因為早已不再在乎，也無力在乎。

如果堅持要說，還是可以說聲七夕快樂的～Happy Chinese Valentine's Day~

"We've talked with several other candidates but you are by far the most preferred one."

I know it's a tough time for everyone, but I also know, I believe, whoever value me will bring in invaluable assets beyond imagination.

I just know.

Long For

Something solid at hand,

Something apeace me;

Someone listen to me,

Someone there;

Some dreams that last,

Some joys that stays;

Somewhere to release my power,

Somewhere to shine.

So close, yet so far away,

so confused, I am, while I shall not.....

(Whitman) Whoever You are, Holding Me now in Hand

I found this by chance, and I fell for this. The tender shown in this poem touched me deeply and I hope I could find that very special person for myself soon. Oh Whitman, Whitman, who is he that would become my follower?

Whoever You are, Holding Me now in Hand

(Walt Whitman (1819–1892). Leaves of Grass. 1900. )

WHOEVER you are, holding me now in hand,
Without one thing, all will be useless,
I give you fair warning, before you attempt me further,
I am not what you supposed, but far different.
Who is he that would become my follower?	5
Who would sign himself a candidate for my affections?
The way is suspicious—the result uncertain, perhaps destructive;
You would have to give up all else—I alone would expect to be your God, sole and exclusive,
Your novitiate would even then be long and exhausting,
The whole past theory of your life, and all conformity to the lives around you, would have to be abandon’d;	10
Therefore release me now, before troubling yourself any further—Let go your hand from my shoulders,
Put me down, and depart on your way.
Or else, by stealth, in some wood, for trial,
Or back of a rock, in the open air,
(For in any roof’d room of a house I emerge not—nor in company,	15
And in libraries I lie as one dumb, a gawk, or unborn, or dead,)
But just possibly with you on a high hill—first watching lest any person, for miles around, approach unawares,
Or possibly with you sailing at sea, or on the beach of the sea, or some quiet island,
Here to put your lips upon mine I permit you,
With the comrade’s long-dwelling kiss, or the new husband’s kiss,	20
For I am the new husband, and I am the comrade.
Or, if you will, thrusting me beneath your clothing,
Where I may feel the throbs of your heart, or rest upon your hip,
Carry me when you go forth over land or sea;
For thus, merely touching you, is enough—is best,	25
And thus, touching you, would I silently sleep and be carried eternally.
But these leaves conning, you con at peril,
For these leaves, and me, you will not understand,
They will elude you at first, and still more afterward—I will certainly elude you,
Even while you should think you had unquestionably caught me, behold!	30
Already you see I have escaped from you.
For it is not for what I have put into it that I have written this book,
Nor is it by reading it you will acquire it,
Nor do those know me best who admire me, and vauntingly praise me,
Nor will the candidates for my love, (unless at most a very few,) prove victorious,	35
Nor will my poems do good only—they will do just as much evil, perhaps more;
For all is useless without that which you may guess at many times and not hit—that which I hinted at;
Therefore release me, and depart on your way.

....的感覺

享受，暢快運動流汗的感覺

欣喜，被肯定的感覺

需要，被需要的感覺

迷戀，舊地重遊的感覺

著迷，一起爆笑拍桌的感覺

熱愛，為夢想加班的感覺

感動，被護送回家的感覺

有你們、有我的感覺

白沙灣、淡水老街、恣意揮霍的夏日

偶然，跟著朋友很衝的在周日夏日炎炎的下午驅車殺向白沙灣。開車的Maureen太想到海邊戲水，壽星有兩百萬個要去瘋狂玩耍的理由，Emilie是晴天娃娃出遊沒有她不行，我太想念大水邊、也好想把悶壞了的自己掛到會起風的地方去曝曬、吹乾，So, off we go.

迷路的戲碼無情的一直上演，應該要負責指路的GPS不停的一直reboot，惟一賴以為生的手機行動科技專責lag，動用最原始的口語問路法以後終於我們在4:30抵達白沙灣。是的！那時候已經沒甚麼大太陽了～可是暖一陣涼一陣的水溫、被我們高高拍起三不五時飛向不知名目的地的海灘球、冷不防暴起的一陣大笑、把壽星放肆用沙掩埋為他量身訂做double D+水桶腰+宋七力金光閃閃的那些亮眼時刻、怎麼跳都不對只好動用相機連拍功能才留下我們東倒西歪飛翔身影的嘗試......暢快、放肆、無與倫比。

回程還是迷路，不過Maureen的肚子餓導航系統還是讓我們順利殺進淡水老街吃吃喝喝。炸章魚炸香菇烤鳥蛋烤魷魚巨無霸霜淇淋檸檬汁阿給魚丸湯.....血糖順利補充回升後的我們殺進射擊場贏了一個大氣球斧頭回來，逛了一圈懷舊小店把可樂糖、哨子糖、巧克力煙、戳戳樂、木劍、愛的小手玩了一遍，Vince開心買了兩張木質明信片後還硬是把明信片背後的空白處蓋紀念章蓋到滿，整個忘記至少要留一行寫地址和一點點招呼語。吃完阿給喝完魚丸湯的本日壓軸好戲：把剛剛買到的煙火點燃升空秒殺，然後耍小孩的把一支又一支的仙女棒點起來，靜靜的看火光燃燒、閃爍，把仙女棒舉高高，Just like a star

好久不曾這麼開心這麼義無反顧的玩耍了～真好

Thanks folks! Love you~

Summer Time, Pipi's Funny TIme

Yes, Pipi is still a cupboard lover. His other favorate in summer includes the washroom floor (b/c it's chill), mom's suitcase (soft and just about his size), the place before the window (birds and view outside) and my closet (chill inside, great view to see what I'm doing and shift places accordingly).

"How can I love him so much!!!!" Mom said. You just can't help it~

Value of Apple > Google Thanks to Multi-platform Potential

I happened to saw "Why Apple Is More Valuable Than Google?" on business week today. The discussion starts because of this fact:

As of Aug. 11, Apple was worth $145.87 billion, compared with Google's $143.40 billion... More likely, Apple has more solidly unseated Google as tech's No. 2 powerhouse and is now on track to one day challenge Microsoft for the crown.

But how come? If you have the same question, go read the analysis and you will get the clear picture. Simply put, Apple got various powerful products- hardware like iPhone, iPod, MAC & software like iTunes, Safari, AppStore. Furthermore, every and each one of these gets rooms for further development. The super loyal users, additionally, are so addicted to it and won't go away. Just.... no chance. Indeed Google is powerful in its search business, but it gets only this one cashcow. More risky than Apple's model. More likely to be harmed by antitrust laws.

Diversity. Diversity is the winning key in many fields!

來捐血吧~跟朱學恆一起築起熱血牆!

你可能是個窮學生，雖然看著電視畫面想捐錢救災，打開荷包卻發現沒剩兩毛錢；

你可能是個上班族，錢捐了，心裡卻不夠踏實，想要衝向災區志願服務，卻卡在辦公室；

還有甚麼方法可以把看電視流的眼淚，化成更具體的行動幫助受災民眾?

朱學恆說，來捐血吧！讓我們一起築起熱血牆～

http://www.meso.idv.tw/0808_lovetaiwan/

台北、新竹、台中、台南、高雄、花蓮都有捐血點的資訊。各血型的血庫庫存量資訊也盡量明確的整合呈現了。Ａ型Ｂ型人，如果你在台中地區，血荒真的很嚴重你知道嗎？ＡＢ型的朋友們，血庫裡面經常缺乏的就是你們的血，明白嗎？

捲起袖子，如果踩不進受創嚴重的災區，至少你可以踏進捐血中心，也是救人一命。

*最新補充：感謝童軍團瑪莉團長補充，為了維持血庫的暢通與新鮮, 請

1~3月生日的人在九月第一星期去捐血

4~6月生日的人在九月第二星期去捐血

7~9月生日的人在九月第三星期去捐血

10~12月生日的人在九月第四星期去捐血

以此類推, 長期經年累月"供血" 若有第五個星期, 忙碌到忘記捐血的補捐

讚喔！大家可以參考一下協助實行

Those Kept Me Busy

• Interviews.

PR agency, high-tech company, digital contents/marketing company

• Learnings.

Project 2009, project management, anything about digital/social media and major players, graphic card market, major software providers' moves, how to make a marketing proposal myself that includes budget estimation and human capital

• MUN related

Taiwan Model United Nations Development Association(MUNDA) initiation (action plan, intern hiring, documentation, budget planning, Board of Directors & Supervisory Board meeting preparation, etc), WorldMUN 2010 mentoring

• Entertainment.

Have fun with Pipi, cook for family, Happy Farm/Restaurant City game on facebook, plurking, movie on TV from time to time, meet friends, badminton game with G coworkers

• Those missing.

A crystal clear plan about who I want to be in the future. Something I will feel terribly passionate about and will burn for it.

Someone who can hear me complain, lend me the shoulder, let me cry and hold me tight. (Yes I am emotional. I desire someone one-dial away. Is that too much?)

The view from high above. The colorful office. Those lovely happy faces. Best time ever.

Stay positive! Stay focused!

我也想念

那個我。

蹦蹦跳跳那個。常常笑，常常發現新鮮事的那個。

會繞著你打轉說不完遇見的新鮮事的那個。

明明就不是，還假裝酒鬼，還裝得很像的那個。

剛剛好會在白天醒來晚上睡前心情一煩躁就大聲的轉開Little Rock Star跟著嘶吼的那個。

忍不住不把看到的高樓風景分享給全世界的那個。

生命，可以像勁量電池一樣，永遠充飽滿滿的電的那個。

會唱歌、會聽歌、會寫歌然後被自己感動得一把鼻涕一把眼淚的那個。

不管到底對不對，硬是要霸在一個人身邊把喜怒哀樂原原本本倒過去逼你全盤接受，然後撒完嬌，或者被你嗆到翻，眼淚擦一擦就有好像沒事了的那個。

我也想念，那個我。

很 想。

[好文]微軟、Yahoo搜尋合作跟你有何關係？

微軟、Yahoo搜尋合作跟你有何關係？來自ZDNet Taiwan

ZDNET新聞專區：Tom Krazit 2009/07/30 10:54:02

(以下我摘錄重點，全文請看原網頁。這真是值得好好關注的產業大事！)

「大筆」一揮，微軟Steve Ballmer與Yahoo的Carol Bartz週三終於正式簽約，讓微軟瞬間變成全球第二大搜尋公司，Yahoo則成了媒體導向的廣告仲介商。

以下我們從各個要角的觀點來瞭解這起合作有何意義：

Yahoo

得到的：讓Yahoo可在18個月內保有固定營收，且可銷售Yahoo與微軟網站上的所有廣告。Yahoo可省下不少錢。

失去的：Yahoo在搜尋方面已經喪失自主權。

接下來：可能會有另一波重整；也會有另一波離職潮。Yahoo財報會比較好看，且長期而言Yahoo就不需放棄任何一塊業務了。

微軟

得到的：一天內就得到搜尋市佔率；Yahoo的搜尋技術現在可任由微軟挑選。

失去的：跟廣告主的搜尋廣告關係。

接下來：跟Google進行激烈競爭，現在雙方更有理由可討厭彼此了。

Google

得到的：時間。微軟/Yahoo的交易得花上好幾個月、甚至幾年才能完成。Google也可擺脫一些反托拉斯的嫌疑。

喪失的：難以再挑逗Yahoo與微軟相互鬥爭。

接下來：目前一切正常，現在兩大對手合作後，Google的壓力或許會大些，但這也是好幾年後的事情了。

廣告主

得到的：廣告預算終於有個比較像樣的第二個選擇了。

失去的：廣告主與兩家公司之間的關係會在未來幾個月變得比較複雜。

接下來：若廣告市場重新復甦，則搜尋廣告的關鍵字、位置與到達率都會有新一波競爭。

消費者

得到的：Yahoo的搜尋頁面會出現「Powered by Bing」字樣。

失去的：少了一個選擇。

接下來：目前還看不出對消費用戶有何影響。(陳奭璁譯)

Bottle Water, Do We Need It?

[分享]瓶裝水你非他不喝嗎?

Thanks to a friend's kind sharing, I saw this slide and thought it valuable to share with everyone who value our environment and value your own health. I understand that for some part of the world, they do need bottle water due to the lack of safe tap water. However, there are many other people who purely enjoy bottle water thanks to its convenience and its supremacy.

Time to change your thoughts. For yourself, for your family and for our world.

P.S. If you are the owner of this file and you think it inappropriate for me to share your file this way, please leave a message and I will remove it. Thanks in advance, for your kind sharing and for the patience.

July 27, 2009, Two Years

July 27, 2007, I took off from Taipei and arrived at Washington D.C. Two years precisely from that date, I am here at home again, Taipei.

Time flies.

Celebrate, with the cherries from NW US, which I loved to eat a ton during that first summer. Will I smell the freshness when I have a bite?

Life

鄧麗君與Michael Jackson的關係.....

我服了鄧麗君，我以為這會是一場軟趴趴的表演，沒想到大師就是大師，她的舞台勁裝，她的舞蹈表演，她眼神的狠度和一舉手一轉身一顧盼的風采，輸了輸了！完全不可以小看小鄧的一代風華！！！

Enjoy!

Who I Am

Standard NTUer- pretty wrapped, hollow inside?
Pretty words, great vision, but not down to earth?
Forget to demonstrate true me to others?
Plan too much & be too careful?
Live on dreams and be driven by ideal?
Take care of everyone else's need but care too less about what I need?

Yes, and No. I have my ruler in mind and I am one of the best judges who can say which are insults or insights. Reflection, necessary. Yet no, I won't let criticism harm me. So thanks, and no thanks.

Value of Family- from a Funeral Video

Prepare your tissue....

再見海角

再聽海角。

戲裡浮出你的不屑神色，透出你那不甚苟同的對這裡、那裏的分析。

「看得太認真了，你，」我記得我念過你，「不過就是齣戲。」

一個閃神，我又會想到腿中抱著一隻毛茸茸小動物吹夏夜晚風看戲的夜晚，還有那隱隱約約飄來的飼料臭。

再熟悉也不過。

下午跟一批同學的歡樂會面，勾起整大批整大批懷念的情緒。

我怪他，居然沒有放肆享用芝加哥的夏日就匆匆回國，徒糟蹋了一個我想回也回不去的仲夏。

還有那裏的音樂。那裏的音樂。

同樣的那種音樂搬了家陪我回到這裡，那種熱血賁張的感動不知為了甚麼沒有跟著海運抵達。

想在草地上鋪一席毯子，在陽光下恣意的消耗掉一堆啤酒，

想跳舞的時候跟著樂聲扭動，太舒服的時候就闔上雙眼靜靜的打盹也沒關係。

恨自己，沒有把握住放肆消耗那般特權的機會；

討厭自己，讓你跟這華麗的夢一起留在天邊。

不，我想念的不是國境之南。

恰恰相反，是北方那湛藍湖邊的一隅，可以稱呼她夢境之北嘛？
