向前走

睡夢中有幾個問句在腦海中一直重複著,在冬夜清晨我驚醒了,不再能夠入睡。從來沒有過這樣的經驗,我想這是內心中最誠實的聲音在睡覺沒有防備的時候,試圖告訴我些什麼...
回台後一直在掙扎著,原來一度以為成功地說服自己接受現狀。但,其實在欺騙自己,一直到剛剛在睡夢中驚醒,才發現,對外可以假裝我很好。但,心裡的那股聲音告訴我不行,現狀已經遠超過了可以容許的範圍。到驚醒的這一刻,這一切對我有多嚴重。

我無法接受也不滿足這個停滯的狀態!!!潛意識在睡夢中發出了警訊.證實我厭惡目前的生活遠大於我想像和我能承受的. Therefore, I have to follow the voice inside my heart and move to next step soon. It has to start from now, no more waiting.

終究不能勉強和欺騙自己去要離夢想藍圖太遠的生活,我喜歡追隨強者快速成長,我的生活要有築夢的衝動和熱情灌溉著...我得誠實面對'現在的生活不是我要的',不能以全球金融危機為藉口,妥協於(或安於)現狀。

現在,我只有兩個選項可走1.改變現有環境創造我要的氛圍, 2.如果我不能改變氛圍,在這裡創造我要的,就得轉換環境。停滯,只會腐化我,而我決不能妥協...可以接受失敗,但不能接受一個懦弱的自己。對於未來,我要選擇奮戰到底!

改變需要勇氣,起碼我不缺乏勇氣也不害怕改變...最不需要的是'後悔'...anyway, I have nothing to lose.

*my xmas eve dinner

So here is the truth. Last year's X'mas Eva, I was in Florence with my college classmate eating lots Chinese food. This year, I am in Taipei eating Italian salami, potato, italian style tomato salad, bread, roast pork, a bottle of tasty spanish wine, and Panetone (italian X'mas cake). This is life, always hard to predict...

Well, I didn't cook the dinner. I brought the cooked food in a luxury supermarket. Then had this dinner in a friend's place. Luciky my friend has a very nice flat. Therefore I enjoy a pleasure X'mas eve by nice food, good flat, classical music, chatting with a nice old friend.

So here are all the food photos of my Xmas dinner.

Wake me up by a cup of coffee or tea

I can't wake up without a cup coffee or tea. The first thing I do in
the morning is to seek for a coffee when I travel around. Sometimes I took photos of coffee or tea that I drink. Recently, I am grouping my photos. I find out that I have many this kind photos in 10 cities: Athen, Bacellona, Berlin, Milan, Munich, Paris,Satonrini, Sydney, Valencia, Vienna. I can't remember how the coffee or tea tasted like, but still fell the cozy and comfortable atmosphere in my mind.

I have never seen sky so dreaming and pink. Santorini is one of the best islands in Greece and the sunset is in the worldranking list. I got good company(a dog and a sister and brother from Korea)when I enjoy the nice sunset.

In the end of 2008

In the end of 2008, my company staffs are coming back Taipei HQ for annual report.

Today there is ID briefing. It is interesting to see how my company applies design strategies to product development. I miss the old days that I was so devoted into design. I am so far away from design now even I still reading the desing books and attend some design exhibitions. One thing makes me LOVE design, because the stories behind the products. To be a good designer, you must become a great story teller. Today I do see some good stroy tellers doing the presentation, therefore I have faith that ID can lead this company into right direction. And I will do my best to support design, even I am not designer anymore.
Due to the annual meeting, I do feel that I work for a multinational company now. It is great that I have chance to attend many conferences to know different BU's and my company vision and major issues. This is the first time, I feel that I do make a right decision to come back and work for a Taiwanese company. This is young company, and there are still lots space to makes this company better. If I would love have my contribution to growth with this company.

Of course, all the presentations are in English. In such a big occasion, no excuse for the bad English. Of course the presentation skills count also. My English and presentation skills are still not good enough to handle such a big event. But I know one day I have to present to hundreds or even thouands of people with confidence and I will earn the audience's hurt.

午夜的漫步

走出PUB,101已經熄燈
冬天的冷空氣令人發抖,周遭是喧鬧的人聲
邊聊天邊走過寂靜無聲的百貨公司到忠孝東路
很久很久沒有個可以開懷說笑的男生朋友
喜歡這樣乾淨俐落的關係
相處沒有壓力也沒有戀愛的猜忌
微醺著在午夜漫步

路邊小黃在一旁等待著要送我回家
親吻臉頰道別,這一別隔著無數的海洋
奇妙的氛圍,誰在乎會不會再見面!
這是個愉快的周末夜~
