阿....好麻煩哦
It's hard to work together with others sometimes.....
If you are being nice, he/she might try to take advantage of you.
If you are trying to be fair, others might accuse you of being
unfair instead.
啊!!!!!好麻煩
現在我真正能了解,不是每個人都可以成為領導者
必須要有圓融的溝通能力和,
決斷的決定事情的態度
不是每個人都做的到的....
對我來説,拒絕別人是最難的一件事...
有時候我做個濫好人到連自己都受不了....
Well Thanksgiving is this week..
實在,不是很期待
家人都不在身邊...
Went to have lunch with a friend last weekend. We haven't really had time to get together for a while so we finally got to sit down and really talked.
It was fun.
上個周末跟一個有一段時間沒見面的朋友一起吃了飯
兩個人輕鬆的聊著自己最近發生的事
然後,忽然發覺
我們都不在是10幾歲的青少年了
我們的人生,已經過了快三分之一
哇...然後驚覺
我竟然還沒有男朋友!!!!(汗)
雖然不是很緊急的
但是說起來, 這也是我待在美國意願不高的主因之一
I wonder if I will ever settle down in USA...
and one significant factor that keeps preventing me from wanting to..
is the fact that I haven't be able to find the right person to settle down with yet..
And to find a place I feel that I belong to..

デコパ。。。。。。
准一君、誕生日おめでとう！！！！
第一次真正看著你,是看完木更津貓眼的vcd之後
然後接下來,就一直沒有把自己的眼光從你的身上拿開過
雖然常常抱怨你為什麼不多話一些,為什麼不多笑一些
可是,我想就是這樣的你,現在的你,才會這麼的吸引著我的注意
如果你還是那個幾年前的准一,那個活潑開朗的大男孩
我可能對你只有:"阿..好可愛的男孩喔"的印象和評語吧
你真的是一個很有趣的人耶
現在的你,90%都是成熟的氣息
那剩下的10%,是那可愛至極的天然
現在的你,就是這樣成熟+小孩子氣,男人+男孩的混合體
就是這樣的你,讓我無法不注意你...
還是沒有一絲演藝圈的氣息,是我最喜歡的(虎牙剛也是*笑)
十五歲就加入V6的你,改變真的好大
不在於外表,而在氣質和你散發出來給其他人的感覺...
但是,一郎和小虎,都擁有著那一雙清澈真誠的雙眼呢
那,一直都沒變
也希望,永遠都不要改變
阿...該講的都講了(詞窮的藉口*汗)
最後讓我耍個fan girl的小小花癡吧....
剛要好好陪著准一過個最棒的生日喔!!!
然後,V4才准一起來祝小准生日快樂!!(大笑)

今天第二個entry..
今天迷上了一首歌...或者應該說是歌聲吧
Sowelu.
她的聲音好溫暖.
很少有日本女歌手會讓我如此欣賞她的歌聲
Sowelu應該算是第二個吧
-from her latest PV "Last Forever"

Damn it's freaking cold today........
Thank god I am going back to Taiwan for my winter break.....(hooo-ray~~~)
已經有兩年沒回去了吧...嗯.....
好興奮喔...好期待我外婆美味的料理..
好想念他們...
我目前的big obsession デコパ又快要長尾巴了...
剛剛在看V們上Lovex2的片段...小准那時好有年輕氣息呦(笑)
現在的小准,還是在V裡是ペット的存在嗎....
不知為什麼,現在的我老是把准一和黑色連在一起
那時上Lovex2的准一,應該是綠色吧
我是這麼覺得......
這樣的笑容,我最喜歡了

Just another ordinary day..
The stormy weather woke me up this morning.
Reminded me of those typhoon holidays I had back in Taiwan.
The entire school was roaring with happy cheers when hearing the announcement that we got to go home early because the typhoon was approaching.
It was fun actually.
No TV. No electricity.
Just the four of us, my parents and my sister, having a candlelight dinner together.
I'd crawl into my bed in completely darkness, feeling safe and secure from the increasingly growing winds and rains outside.
It was a "scary" kind of excitement.
Like the anticipation I felt before a roller coaster begins to plunge from the top.
And knowing that nothing bad would happen.
Only that I was too young and naive to know that things aren't always that simple.
But I guess that's good for a child..
Finally got my little project going. Talked with a reporter from World Journal last night and she seemed quite interested in doing a news article on Project SHINE.
Now only if I could convince her NOT to take pictures of me coaching the students.
I am camera-shy!!! ^///^
I'd rather just stay behind the scene...

クイール
Watched the movie クイール yesterday and like many others before me who've seen the film, I couldn't control my tears from falling down.
And smiled at the same time.
Not a trace of those overly-done dramatic and sentimental turns of events, this movie serves more like a documentary. Yet it's such a moving piece...
And I do need those kinds of movies from time to time to remind me that there are still goods in us.
To push me back to the less pessimistic side of me in other words.
Based on a true story, this movie chronicles the life of クイール, an eye-seeing dog in Japan.
Gently, through the director's unforced lens, we witness an extremely cute Labrador puppy(too cute!) to grow up surrounding by the love of his "puppy walkers", then to go through several tough eye-seeing dog training and finally to change a blind man, 渡辺満さん's life.
Opening someone's heart is a difficult thing to do.
But with クイール's patience, selfishlessness and profound devotion, he guided not only 渡辺満さん to walk safely throughout his daily life, but also guided 渡辺満さん to take a much more open and positive path in life.
クイール helped 渡辺満さん to see and experience the joy of living. Now that's a very remarkable thing to achieve.
Why are dogs willing to open their hearts completely to us human beings?
Is it because they sense that there are still many goods in us that deserve their love?
I want to believe that...
If you want to watch something very different from the typical Hollywood melodrama movies, do see this one.
Quietly, this movie moved me deeply..just like how クイール quietly changed those people's life around him.

Uncertainty
I am sad, depressed, and disappointed. And confused at the same time.
I should be furious as well but somehow I am not.
So the Americans.
Those who voted.
A bit over half of them, chose image over mind.
Just like choosing between two apples.
The one with better-looking skin got picked.
Yes...I should've known.
I was aware how conservative and religious Americans are. Merely.
I really do know now.
The leader for this country for the next four years IS conservative and religious.
Those are not the qualities I deem important in a leader.
Especially a leader for a country so powerful and dominant.
Those qualities won't lead a country to a better future.
Under his leadership, I won't feel safe at all. That's enough of a reason for me to leave this country and be somewhere else but here.
And someone who cannot even admit he's wrong as the leader?
I believe that he and his administration represent the worst in American ideals and policies.
Where have the good sides of the American people gone to? =(
The open-mindednes. The generosity. Where have all that gone to?
Fear has blinded their mind and vision...
Confused because my mom delivered to me a stone-cold fact last night. That with what I am studying, it's unlikely for me to get a decent job back in Taiwan except an English teacher in one of those cram schools.
So I am stuck here. In this country. This place where I've tried, with all my efforts to love, but without much success at all.
Staring at my "Form N-400, Application for Naturalization," I wonder if I should still finish filling it out.
No. You want it?
Take it.
