So.. what about Africa?...

So.. what about Africa?... -- In my honest opinion, I had no idea why I went to Africa, South Africa that is... I suppose it all began with a courtesy asks, from a relative, long long, long long~ away, in the galaxy call Canada... yeah... that part of the area.. Which, I had no idea what the purpose nor the intention of going into S. Africa... Basically, I was, totally blinded before the trip... All I knew was: yeah, I'm going to Africa.. don't' know why, but I'm going... I think I'm going... therefore, the trip into Africa.. S.Africa, a place I kind of knew, from a good friend of mine since elementary school; all because she immigrated and spent her adolescence there. I still have lots of letters from S.Africa somewhere in my room, those letters, barely mention the lifestyle and challenges she faced back in those years. I suppose it's different than N.America, partly due to the tension between racial groups. It's unsafe, as she once told me, thus mo...

Merriest place on Earth, Orlando, FL?! A post trip thoughts...

Merriest place on Earth, Orlando, FL?! A post trip thoughts... -- Orlando, FL.... a place where immediate thought of a tiny mouse came into people's mind... that little rat, well, it is a rat, win over nearly 85% of the hearts of children all over the world... rest of 15% of them is either without media access or having some sort of WOMD (weapon of mass destruction) that obstruct them to fall into the evil rat empire... Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Walt~ Mr. Walt Disney is my childhood hero!! I read his bio since youth, where my pals sinked in SAT or sorts, I crank for bio of all major weirdos that invent empires... You know, Caesars aren't just salad... and Michelangelo is not the green reptile live in N.Y. underground... and, yes, gelato is ice cream... Thus, I have some knowledge of the creation or development history of the swamp land, a total of 30,000 acres, a size of San Francisco, twice of Manhattan... The magic of Disney just turn the swamp into golds... sadly, Mr. ...

Fin de l'année 2010.

Fin de l'année 2010 . -- Конец 2010 года./End of 2010. To be honest, at this point, I have no clue what have I done in the entire 2010, and it's about to be over in couple hours... All I knew was that I wasn't home much, travel to places for probably more than half of this year abroad.... That, is a scary thought... 'cause my schedule isn't going to be much better next year... this, if all my plans work, probably will be my lifestyle for a while on the foreseeable future... Unbearable, Unloading, Unacceptable, Unfortunately, Unusual, Ultimately... Life, often give challenges that one must concur and take the blame silently... If, there's a turning point, then, 2010 is probably a one for me for sure... -- Traveling all over the place and meeting new people, getting to know a different cultural group or two, is, undoubtedly an exciting experience that I won't give away.. and those are precious memories that I'll always keep with me, hopefully it will giv...

社會平宅,國宅,貧民窟,富裕台灣???

社會平宅,國宅,貧民窟,富裕台灣??? -- Link: 社會住宅研究中心 從平宅的問題看集居 蝸牛仍無殼…推動社會住宅 -- 嗯。。 台灣,富裕?? 我是從未想過台灣是富裕的國家。。 並不是我用歧視的眼光來看待,而是如果一個國家裡面不合理之處過多的話,那麼,除非它是一個很好的獨裁體制,不然,那真的會混的很難過。。就像一個公司裡的很多不合理的形勢過於長久的話,那要解體的時間,也不會太久了。。 別人在看亞太影展的虛華,我在看林志玲專訪,然後延續到社會平宅問題,到安全鐵馬路道。。 其實,這些電台也還挺有趣的。。 誰說台灣沒文化?? 沒良心?沒水平?? 只是,比例少了些而已。。 只是,有心的人,不太敢出頭,因為,會被人指點,也會被歧視。。 教育教的好,乖一點,比較沒事。。 愛出頭的,總會有麻煩的。。 生活都難過了,管它人那麼多做啥?? 自己過好就行了,何苦麻煩呢?? 不,是嗎? 愛美之心,人人皆有,那,不美的勒?? 沒人想要低收入或當貧民吧?? 那,這些社會問題,該如何解決? 這,是全世界那個國家也沒法解決的問題。。管它上流,下流,不入流國家。。 問題是,華人的問題在於,怎樣都好,“就是離我遠一點”。。。 平宅在妳家旁邊,那房價還會好喔?? 旁人沒順道把妳當貧民就不錯了。。那,這些族群,該打包款款送到哪呢?? 台北,大都會嘛~ 提供建商,富人賺錢用的,沒事妳住進來幹嗎?? 建商,賤商? 富人,訃人? 這單車路道在跟荷蘭相比,說和台灣人口土地比例都差不多等等等。。。 那這問題,要好好的問候那鄭成功之母啊? 沒事把荷蘭人趕跑做啥?? 果真失敗為成功之母啊~~ 不合理之處,一個個丟出來,可,也不是即刻可解決的啊?更不要說大環境要不要解決這些問題,或是廣大群眾會不會把它當成是問題。。 小老百姓,總還是小老百姓的。。 總不能學法國人的特性吧? 華人,其實,做不到的。。 個人利益為先,其它再說。。華人,真的很滑。。 -- 嗯,剩下的新聞,還挺無聊的。。 Formosa, 寶島,真的是鴇倒了。。 資源人材鼎盛的,卻如此操作。。 政府打房??沒事找事做? 帝寶才剛法拍兩億多說。。 打誰啊? 富裕台灣,有啦。。 也是屬於少數啦。。 -- 其實,我意見也是很多喔?? 嗯。。。

洗衣,惜伊,繫漪。

洗衣,惜伊,繫漪。 -- 洗衣服,也洗到那阿姨又說:“你好久沒回來了喔~”。。。 =_='" 這是附近洗衣服的不多還是怎樣?? 看來我還是不要去做壞事好了。。 有那麼容易認出嗎?? 半年沒去也知道。。 這阿姨還真疼我。。 本想今就坐那讀些書就好,結果書沒看三頁,就被那阿姨問東問西的聊天到不行。。國內談到海外,東扯西拉的漫聊。。 也是打發時間囉。。這我也太會混了吧? -- 漫聊,漫聊,言談中,阿姨也屬性情中人,偶來的客人,一副不可一世的樣子,一件衣服三年沒穿過,有了黃跡送來洗,結果一直沒洗好,今天要出國了,第 n 次來取都沒有,一副要磨拳投訴的樣子。。 阿姨還問我,國外的消費很便宜嗎?為何很多外國回來的都要東砍西砍的嫌東嫌西,差個五塊十塊都好。。 不然就一副高高在上的樣子。。 這個,很難回答耶。。 洗衣服務業的話,台灣怎樣都算比國外便宜,也方便。。 這五塊十塊,真的是不需要計較。。 後來也是一些來比價的客人。。 不過也客氣些。。 這個嗎,比價,應該是只要是人就會做的事吧。。 差別是態度問題。。問話的語氣也可以讓人有很大的落差與給人不同的感官。。 說話的文化,是門學問,這個也很難教,也是天生的吧。 對人客氣,不應該是難事,說話的口氣普遍好一些,都可以讓辛勞的阿姨們心情好些,工作時能更開懷些,這些,也不過是比舉手之勞更輕鬆的事。。 當然啦,我還不至於像我另一好友嘴甜的要命,整天被誇是最佳媳婦,不過嘛~ 我笑的比她好看~~ :p 然後,又被問我怎麼不結婚。。。 這問題,老實講,也很困擾了。。 我,沒人要不行喔?真是的。。。 誰規定笑的好看就一定要結婚?那已結婚的是怎樣?早打烊收攤了喔。。 這世人是在想啥啊?? 惜伊,所以沒有。。 並非不。。 繫漪,因為所以。。 想珍惜。。 能契合的人,總是會自然相處的,那裝出來的態度語氣,是很明顯的虛偽。。 人善與不善,都寫在臉上。。 想遮,也難。。 或許,洗衣店的阿姨,衣服洗多了,人心也看清了。。畢竟,衣服,還是最貼心的。。 洗衣,惜伊,繫漪。。 一股和氣。 -TT

其實,

其實, -- 人的情感,有身/深感受到的時候,那書寫的靈感就自然會出來的了。。手上的筆,或掌上的鍵盤,自然而然就會沖湧而出。。 每個人都有文思泉湧的時候,只要心能靜下來,那自然的聲音,自會引導。。 -- 今天累了一天,也是一般人所說的應付一堆老人家們,拖到蠻晚的。。 好友說她佩服我的耐性,因她中午有事就離開了,傍晚才知;陪了一天的林叔叔婉轉的說要我往前看,年輕的精力應要放在有遠景處。。 其實,能有機會跟些老人家們鬼混,並沒有那麼的糟糕。。 當然,三不五時的懷古是免不了的,可,當聽聽前輩們的故事,不好嗎?? 何必萬事都要一副利益當頭的樣子? 生命中的美妙,其實就是,老了之後,妳想要幹嗎?? 妳能幹嗎?ㄟ,早點學習著老化,也是一種學問吧?? 老吾老以及人之老,幼吾幼以及人之幼。。 不太難吧??? 老實講,要讓我有耐心的人,這世上並不太多。。 因我看人有一種獨特的方式,通常也有幾分准。。當作是直覺吧。。也或許是一種緣份的契合度使然。。 其實,也都是無從解釋起。。能有機會相處時,自然,我也會珍惜。。 人生中的緣份,何必精算呢?心,自然會說出它的柔情與細膩處。。 不過嘛。。 我要是再不結婚還是啥的等,早晚被她們拖去賣掉。。台灣的老人家們,還真是小孩子似的。。 還好,今天沒被硬逼著買房子。。 一副那處就是最適合新婚的小家庭。。。拖鄰居也別這樣嘛~~ 小鬼我是鬼靈精怪甩太極出了名的了。。微笑以對。。:) 開玩笑,亂買會被 K 的說。。真當我錢多多喔。。嗯,我是務實派的。。 ㄜ,應該有人信吧?? :p 永恆,純真,其實,應該不難吧??能保有一絲絲的真誠,其實,不是件難事。。 真的。。耐心,也裝不出來的。。也許,也是一堆老人家與小孩都愛找我的原因吧。。 能當老先生,老太太的忘年之交,其實,還挺幸福的。。雖然,我也搞不懂怎麼會變成這樣。。但,一副滾雪球似的,越來越多的趨勢。。 似乎,也是有些奇怪。。 -TT

Nov. 19th, in flight random thoughts...

Nov. 19th, in flight random thoughts... -- Life, as one should appreciate much; however, do have pitfalls... nothing nor perfect is the one should chase... However, throughout one’s lifetime, education or learnings all hint the “perfect” is the way to go, else it’s not the norm, and thus unsuccessful, underachieve, or, a failure... Then, what is success? What is “perfect”?? Is there a standard to these abstracts?? Things changes, rule bent, society norm alters... Time, space, incidents, encounters, shift of “air”, all trigger different results and cost dearly... Moral? Ethics? What? Have you notice the way we were, and the way we are, then, the way we will?? Ambiguities are common among us, uncertainty made us insecure, thus blocked our natural judgements.... Is human born evil? Or born kind? One of the argument flow among social debaters... However, in the mist of 20th century, none of them matters, as usual, money rules... Or, it has been this way since the creation of ...

10/8/29 – 9/5 Caribbean Cruise Trip thing; [Emerald Princess] Well, this is a long overdue trip log, per Betsy & Sally’s request… sorry ladies, I’m just need to find time and peace of quiet to compile this for you two… guess what, it’s been two months since… Prior to boarding the cruise ship, I had the meet with Kristie and Trent for brunch, we had a wonderful meal and chats about various things, sorry Betsy, didn’t take any photo… you know Kristie… if I take more pictures, she’s definitely going to kill me… and I would want to avoid that before the embankment… In fact, Trent and Kristie were so nice to drop me off at the port so I won’t walk over there by myself and looking weird… Thanks T & K!! Thailand in Dec. is in process… Special K, you’ll need to plan things out~ Well, that, would be the highlight of the week… hmm… can I say that? I wonder… -- Things to keep in mind: I was in Russia for two weeks, and couple of days in N.Y.C. with two Br...
