人有三種:

1. 不會唱歌也不喜歡唱歌的人

2. 不會唱歌但以為自己很會唱歌對於別人對自己唱歌的評語沒有安全感的人

3. 唱歌像喝水一樣自然隨便唱唱就知道是不一樣的人

"你好,這裡是..."

小時候常夢想著長大可以當秘書,打打電腦,接接電話,蓋蓋章,歸檔.長大以後真正做了這個工作,卻一點都不覺得快樂.原來,不是只有工作而已,要喜歡人,要真的非常喜歡人才可以.

在越艱困的環境,可以看到越偉大的情操和越黑暗的人性面,這樣矛盾的生活,我一直在游移著,漂浮著,上上,下下,上上,下下.

New place, new life.

Last week, I moved to a new place, further to the previous place from work. The relocation didn't went smoothly. First, there was a delay of the internet in my new place. It made me delay my relocation day. Second, I kept getting lost from my new place to my work. The distance is little unpleasant, but mostly acceptable. Third, my stuff is god da*n too much. In the beginning it was really mess. They all worked out finally.

I started to make this new my home. Like my previous several relocation, I put some photos and my favorite lamps, it is getting familiar to me. Each day I feel more comfortable in my new place. Although once I got really bad dream, it went out alright.

Beside all the difficulties, I really got to thank my flatmate. He is very sweet and considerate. He solved some of the problems, and helped me move all the stuff. He becomes my new friend, a very good start. He even shares his dinner box with me. I feel warm and welcomed.

Now I customize my place to a little bit more my atmosphere. Hope I don't need to move again anymore...it's really time and sweat consuming.

blackr lets your pictures shine

blackr is an interesting little webget for surfing Flickr.
It basically turns the background black or white when going to "All Sizes" pages on Flickr.
The convenient bookmarklet makes the page into black or white in seconds. I love the idea people would make Flickr as artistic as possible. Let's look at the effect:

Hm..not impressively interesting..but interesting...It's very useful for presenting photos.
And it makes the page cleaner.

用7-11點數做公益

大家一起來響應喔. 早知道就不要去換星巴克了~~

也好, 也好, 也好.

也好, 也好, 也好.
是這樣沒錯.
不過為何還有一點遺憾
想喝可樂,卻只喝了白開水
想吃總匯三明治,卻只有白土司
走到信箱,沒有任何信可收,
也好,也好,也好.
是否我的人生,就這樣退而求其次的過下去.

榮星貓寶寶後記

很順利的兩隻都被領養囉...(鼓掌...)
是一位好心的王小姐,家裡的人都很喜歡貓,也很懂貓.
本來對方只想要小黑,不過大家都說兩隻姐弟感情很好,分開的話太狠心,而且會一直喵喵叫,
所以她就兩隻都留了下來.我們也很高興兩隻可以一直在一起.

雖然大家都很捨不得,還是希望他們能過的更好.
送走的那一刻其實大家都在忍.東交待西交待深怕一個不注意小貓有什麼狀況.
直到送小貓上車才鬆了一口氣.
來看小貓在我家睡覺拍的照片吧

榮星貓寶寶

上禮拜五Sandy在家附近的榮星花園撿到三隻貓寶貝. 很健康只是身上有跳蚤.
有愛心的珊蒂小姐把他們一起帶到愛貓園逢人就問要不要領養貓.不過沒有找到主人.
後來小貓們暫時留在她家.隔天一大早就聽到她在吆喝大家,尋問有沒有人要養.
可是好奇的總是比下決定的人少.

因為我租房子,必定無法養任何一隻,不過真的好喜歡貓,雖然鐵了心,眼睛還是一直
盯著那三隻小寶貝.本來決定這禮拜貓貓們先送去中途之家收留,上個周末可以先借
放在我家,只高興了一個下午,貓媽就說直接送去中途之家就好了.好失望啊~

貼一下珊蒂給大家的信,她真的寫的很妙:

Hello,Friends

現有拾獲於榮星花園小黑小黃健康無蚤小貓(1個月大) ,二隻 任君挑選 , (已會用貓沙, 其實有三隻, 小灰已成功送給路人甲) ,

他們給你的不只是抓老鼠 還可以聽說發言 ~~~ 不能養的人, 又想支持者請准寄給親友知道 3 Q

個性分析:

小黑比較穩重 ,誠懇 (金牛)

小黃超級親人, 有時尚感 (獅子)

驗貨/面交請洽愛貓人 : 陳 Sandy


尤其是個性分析的部份真是蠻好笑的.在這不得不稱讚她的創造力.
目前為止剩下小黑跟小黃還沒被領養.
不小心看到此篇文的麻煩宣傳一下吧...

going out or going home

Tomorrow I am going back to my another home in Taipei. And I probably won't go back to my parents' house for three months. It's always an ackward feeling between me and my family members. I feel like an outsider for quite a few years and i think they could feel it too. I've never been a responsible daughter, which mean taking well care of my parents. I leave the job to my older brother, who has difficulty going out of the city. I think the difficulty came from the fear he couldn't face the society, the gaint competitive world. That leads him to stay home and help me taking care of the parents. How my parents taught us caused the main reason why my brother was so fearful and isolated to the society. They are serious, strict, but also very preserved people. Me and my brother never had a chance to face the obstacles by ourselves. And we never learnt how to express love and affection to people. Luckily I couldn't stand it and leave home early. I learnt and changed my perspectives outside my family. Obviously it turns out I got a healthier mind than my brother. I learnt how to express myself, how to get what I wanted, how to face the society. My brother took the role to take care of my parents and unfortunately suffered some mental illness. 

Now I don't say I was sorry to be obsent for my parents, and my parents wouldn't blame on me. I know they wouldn't. And that's the where the ackward situation come from. I hope my brother get well soon. Perhaps I can't change my parents, but one day I hope I could see some smiles from my brother's face.

13 Outro


I just heard this entire album. "I believe in" is good, but they push a little too high pitch on this song. It feels like they were torturing their voices. And I really don't understand the outro. Even I am a Chinese, I can't get the point. Isn't SM group trying too hard to get in Chinese market? I don't think it's proper to put it in the first album.

There are many elements in this album, very alternative. I do like some songs in this album. For example- "Tonight", very smooth and completed. The group is kind of Boyz to men style. The overall vocal is really strong and cooperative. I couldn't hear anyone was weaker than others, which is good. It creates harmony.

It's good enough for a first album. I am looking forward to hear the second one.

小談Google Reader跟RSSmeme

本身是Google Reader的重度上癮者, 一天的開始於GR, 結束於GR. GR在我的生命中,僅次於Firefox的地位. 聽到其中一個功能Shared Item 加強版出現之後,簡直是心花怒放到了極點. 最主要的是Shared Item 可獨立出來一個介面,可以選擇自己喜歡的主題. 我選擇的是海洋.真是太可愛囉~~(十指交扣中...)
像是簡報一樣, 將自己想share的文章,在文章下面按或Ctrl+S, 就會自動po在這個獨立的網頁中了. 想找這個網頁的網址可以到主頁的左上角選擇"Shared Items". 點進去後,可以先選擇主題,在點擊"at this web page". 網頁就出來囉~也可以email告訴別人自己的網址. 真是太方便了.在台灣大家還是習慣寄一堆有的沒有的新鮮奇怪的東西給別人.有時候真的有點被半強迫看完. 像這樣的網頁,不僅可以非常方便的share自己在讀或有興趣的文章,也讓別人有一點空間,很輕鬆的閱讀.

Tina 的Shared Items





再來介紹的是share item 進階: 有誰share跟我一樣的東西?
RSSmeme - 追蹤所有Google Reader 中所有人的Shared item. 主介面中,


Today 顯示今天最多人share的文章. 按至"Register"輸入shared item 網址,
就可以找出跟你一起share同一個文章的人.知道有人跟自己share一樣的文章
感覺還蠻妙的.也可因此找到跟自己興趣相仿的人.最後別忘了訂閱別人Shared item 的RSS喔!

Plurk, Twitter的替代方案?

因為Twitter系統還在維修中,眾家介紹的替代方案五花八門
昨天網路上看到一個好可愛的網站: www.plurk com
一樣是140個字. 但是有許多其他的優點喔~

• 介面可愛-我想應該比小鳥可愛...有許多可愛的圖騰
  

介面也比Twitter豐富. Publish timeline 也比Twitter可愛許多.

• 新增功能: "Karma"積分系統, 不同積分有不同代表人物

Fans 和 Friend分開,在Publish timeline直接回覆訊息. 許多內建"動詞"的選擇.



目前因為可能註冊的人不多,還沒有外掛的功能,也無法像Twhirl
一樣可以在桌面看到訊息.不過真的是太可愛了~~

college union party

I went to a college union today. My college friends seemed like they didn't change at all. I was surprised. Well, they look thinner physically, but the style they have, the way they talk, the smile they wear are just the same as the time we were together at college. Meeting them made me think of the transformation I had. After graduating, I went to work. Then, I moved to Taipei, I started work again. I've been traveling, heartbroken, got back with no any money. I had my lowest in my life. Then I survive. Those memory just flew in when I was talking to them. It feels kind of weird, but it's like finding back the "me" that they knew at college. Strangely, I felt more completed of being myself after the union. Hm...wondering...

Websites perfectly useful for fans, diggers and stalkers

Today I read a new website-Addict-o-matic from John Battelle's Searchblog



remind me Viewzi-visual search



both are perfectly useful for searching things, people or news on an fairly addicted way.
For example, I am a fan of Madonna, I can use these two web services and get abundant info of her.
Moreover, get more social, Tweet Scan



Submit keyword and get tweets for what you search, follow the twitters.

Summize does the similar purpose.




A lot of social bookmarks services also let you find some people who is interested on what you are too.

After favorite a bookmark on Ma.gnolia, you get a list of people who is also bookmarked this website.
Diigo is also good too. Totally social-able.

Get RSS from the sites you like, bookmarked the favorite, and follow the twitters you are interested.
Sooner or later you could be a real fans, diggers or stalkers without really going out or taking photos by yourself.
But it's kinda scary...

初夏淡水老街半日遊

新發現:

1. 原來茶品只要十元就可以很好喝
2. 小吃大同小異.價格卻差很多 (鳥蛋一串從十元到二十元不等)
3. 有一家超好逛超多東西的小東西玩偶店(芝麻街.彼得兔.史努比)
4. 太陽下的淡水老街逛起來真的很 energy consuming
5. 淤泥,垃圾,鋼鐵工廠 噁~~
6. 因為Sandy逛了好多南非店... don't know if it's necessary.
7. 一家view超讚的咖啡店－所謂超讚是: no crowd, no smoke and no airco. ofcources beer is served!

I was in the park

I was go picnicking today with Sandy. We were in 大佳河濱公園. The surrounding is beautiful, clean and relaxing. It was windy and clouded, but didn't harm. Sandy didn't wear makeup, that's why she came up with big sunglasses. She brought her favorite cheese.







And we bought snacks, drink and our lunch-cold noodles. All taste good! Sandy brought two books but didn't got a chance to read. She was busy talking and eating and watching people. Bubble and Frisbee occupied some time in the whole thing. Have I said the two books were untouched?







After eating a lot, we started to play with bubbles















Convenient picnic cup stands












Then we played Frisbee. Due to we only have two persons, no one took us photos.
I have terrible sense of sport, so Sandy kept picking up Frisbee I throw on the ground.
Not long for playing Frisbee, it started a big raining. We rushed to pack everything and return home.

The picnic wasn't long but recover my bad mood of Sunday. I always got a little grumpy on Sunday because Monday is coming. And I really have a good time today. The end.

My camera evolution

First, there were the first camera I had on 1999. TOSHIBA PDR-T10.The most impressing function is changeable skin. I got six other colorful and beautiful skins when bought. I haven't seen other came out of this function so far. I really love the shape. It always looks adorable. 2.0 megapix, It was quite a hit back to 1999.




Then, my fish camera.
What attracts me is the retro style of the camera. Not only the shape of the camera, also the photo it took. Getting busy on the camera when shooting makes me feel professional, such as scrolling the wheel behind the camera after one shot, and manually turn on the flash light (which supports by batteries.) I love lomo photos. It's just blur, and exciting my imagination.

Then, my third camera....very bad memory...

Fujifilm F810

Everytime I used it, I just tried some of these buttons, some of those buttons, push this or click that, and the photos came out stunning. It madeA totally luxury...It was heavy, kind of slow, but the quality of photo is super. I think there were still some hidden functions that I would never known. me feel like really a pro.
Even a kid could make good photo with this one. Unfortunately, it was stolen. What a extremely shame......I cried all day for this. Not just this camera, and all the photos in it.


Now, my new shinny baby-Olympus FE-280 envoltion

Actually I really like black or blue with this one. Well, silver is not bad...just a little too common. Well, I don't always judge camera with appearance. Price, pixel, and brand decide this time. One comment so far is, the color comes out so real. And the control panel is handy for a girl, and it's so small. So far so good.

My changing desktop theme project

Finally I complete my task-changing my desktop theme to maroon red..Please see the photo. Just in case you don't know the person on the right up side. They are my favorite group-TVXQ. Anyway, I use the software-Stylexp. Shamably this is the only software I paid for. I really like it. It's easy, convenient, less time consuming than others. I chose a VS called "Cinnawin". The color is maroon. I guess it's the color's name..I also like the window's quick launch bar it's made. Each exe icon in the distinguish circle is very adorable. Then with Stylexp, I could choose my desktop icon as well. I chose green, can't remember the name, sorry. I think it matches my VS. I think so...After that, I started to pick skin on MSN. Luckily "Ev0.v3" in MSN live 8.5 does have a color "Maple", which quiet matches my desktop too. And my firefox, I use the very simple theme called "Little fox 1.8". It is simply overrode by the desktop. So it matches! More, TVXQ part is my media player. I use MediaMonkey. It is the coolest music player that I've ever used. For me, I am a big fan of TVXQ, so it was A+ that i could change the background of the screen. The skin is also changeable. However, the skin is not too many choices, and the software is very memory consuming. My old PC works very hard when starting MM. Well, I think it's worthy. I feel sorry to my pc...Back to the background of MM, since it's changeable, I selected some maroon related photos of TVXQ, and cut them into the default size. Then I replaced them on MM. It works magically. So touching when completed. Da.la~~~finally done! Don't you think it's great work? for a girl who doesn't really understand what's going on with computer stuff? Actually I feel proud of myself for changing desktop theme capability. HAHA...





Pleas also see my wallpaper right now from above. Also TVXQ la~~Mr. Yuhoo
