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.
