方大同 橙月

八百年沒聽中文歌曲了...
在網路上搜尋一下...發現方大同又出新專輯了~
因此藉由網路的力量讓我聽到了這次新專輯~
不得不來推薦一下...
(只要試聽我喜歡...我就會去買正版專輯來支持的!!)
雖然是R&B但整張曲風都帶點甜甜的味道...
怎麼聽都順耳...
是張值得一聽再聽的專輯...
Most important of all, 方大同也是值得一直follow的好音樂人!!

Speakerphone by Kylie Minogue

Kylie Minogue...YOU ROCK!!!

OH MY GOD!!!

It's been a long time for me to enjoy such a GREAT GREAT concert... I'm not saying I didn't enjoy previous concerts I've been, it's just they're all different kinds of music and different types of concerts. Kylie's concert is really colorful, a big screen showing all kinds of images along with Kylie's voices. I haven't had much fun and felt energetic until today, last time I had such fun I was still in the US. So after a year and another 4 months, I'll need to thank Kylie, thank you for coming to Taiwan, bringing us a great musical banquet, let fans all feel worthwhile.

Twilight

The movie "Twilight" is a hot topic right now, based on the #1 New York Times best-selling book by Stephenie Meyer.

One Year Already!!!

ONE YEAR ALREADY!!!
I've worked for a year...
That's pretty amazing~

Although I can't say I did a lot of contribution to this company, yet I'm still trying and doing my best!!!
A fish as I am, but I'll grow up and get stronger~

Having Fun on Plurk...

10月份才開始玩Plurk...不知不覺也一個月了~
其實也還挺不錯玩的~
當無名被公司鎖住之後...總是會find another way out~
所以就被Plurk迷住啦~

我想我小事情的碎碎唸大概就會留在Plurk...要是有再深刻一點感覺的就會來無名Blogger抒發囉~
歡迎大家一起來plurk.....

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy birthday to myself...!!!
Had a beautiful day today~ but sadly it didn't last long...

氣!! 在貴啥?!

平日逛街...總是看到一堆不錯的衣.鞋.包啊等的~
但總是被它們的價格震懾而退步...
不懂...到底台灣的這些衣服到底是在貴什麼意思!!
如果是國外進口的牌子貴或許還說得上來... 但連本土的牌子也很貴...是怎樣!!!
(某些本土牌...你說你用的材料很好嗎? 我看也是普通啊...憑什麼跟人家水漲船高!!)

Amazing Diana Krall...

終於等到Diana Krall再度來到台灣~
之前在台灣看到他已經是2002年...
在這之間似乎還有一次...但我人肯定在美國...否則我應該是不會錯過的!!

這次....也是一得知消息趕緊網上購票....
第一次買稍微貴一點的票...
雖然是三樓...但昨天到會場後坐下來卻發現這是個好位子...
也不會太遠....且剛剛好面對的就是舞台的正中間~

網路壞人真多!!

唉....
對於下載東西我本來就還算小心的~ 但果然還是會中招~
(有人放假檔案在網路上讓人下載!! DAMN!!!)

只不過是要下載某人新專輯的mp3...因為才剛release....自然而然種子還不是很多....
看到某人的載點似乎OK....
就興高采烈的下載起來....

重點在....當下載完之後....要解壓縮....它附了個exe檔是壓縮檔的密碼....
(要告知各位網民....執行任何.exe或是.zip都要三思而後行!!)
當下沒想太多....只想快快可以聽到那張專輯....
就醬上當了!!

Getting Tired of......

Sometimes...just tired of everything probably except my family...

Tired of work, tired of seeing the same people everyday, tired of pretending who I am...etc
It's just what I feel these days...not "that" comes once a month affects me or whatever reason you come up with...

In every step of the way, I have this feeling often, but somehow I'll get over it...
And now it strikes me again... But this time, probably I just so wanna have that trip...to get away from some reality......

Magic by Robin Thicke

Sexy Robin's back!!

Check out his latest single "Magic"... with his move, he seems more delicious~
Looking forward to his new album releasing on Sep. 30....yeah!

One Year

Today is my one-year anniversary!!

Can't just believe it's been a year already~ Time goes at a speed of light, I guess...
In this one year, I can say something or nothing special happened to me...
It is just the self-adjusting doing the tricks!! Hope it'll work fine~

Not Funny!! He's an Icon!!

最近好像有股"印度麥可"熱....
起初不太知道那是啥...
同事還跟我大力推薦....
回家youtube了才瞭是怎麼一回事~

我看一堆人肯定是笑翻...
但我卻面無表情....
覺得這根本就是惡搞~
我說的惡搞可不是那些個印度人......
而是那些個還硬是要翻成中文的人在惡搞!!
(最好是有人這麼閒~)

雖然不懂印度話...(其實也不知那些到底是不是印度人...壓根沒仔細看!)
但是人家也不過就是模仿....
還有模有樣的.....只不過唱的唸的是印度話....
台灣人呢....就愛硬是要跟那些個粗話扯在一塊~
俗! 無聊~
我只有這樣的想法!!

腳踏車...

最近腳踏車很夯...
也因為這樣...腳踏車的價格也跟著水漲船高~
要好一點的動不動就上萬元~

再加上前一陣子油價調升....
以及政府呼籲的節能減碳活動....等等因素
讓一堆人盲目的到處騎腳踏車~

2008 Olympics Game

2008.08.08 北京奧運正式開幕~

昨天下班後剛好趕上開幕典禮...
本來的我其實抱著不太關心的態度...
想說就邊吃晚餐邊看也沒差到哪...

看完後的感想是...
中國仗著自己是主辦國...宣揚的盡是中華文化!!
其實真的是場面盛大....氣勢磅礡!!
在我眼裡覺得此番用心選錯了時間地點.....

轉換嗎?!

最近不時想起...
要不要把無名的東西都換到別家去~
我會考慮的就是Google他們家的或是MSN等幾個大牌子...

製造氣氛...

去過Abercrombie & Fitch店(或是其他類似品牌)的人都知道...
他們家除了本身商品特色之外...
(店員都是model身材...帥哥美女~)
最明顯的就是他們家進去聞得到他們家香水的味道~
連衣服褲子都會有...
我就看過他們家店員拿起香水就開始到處噴...
音樂也一定要放很大聲...且很多都是時下流行歌曲的mix版本~
都很動感~

Sex and The City...

Today, finally....got a chance to watch SATC after work. First, when the movie started...I once couldn't get used to these four women and all the scenes on the big screen for those SATC loyal fans. But it's good to watch them in the different size of shooting, format...and all other movie stuff.... I can't name all of it... not an expert in this area... Even the score fits the movie and I'd like it... Also...some people may wonder that how the 40-minute TV series turn out to be 2-hour movie and not bore the audience... I can say the answer is great and no! It doesn't bore me and I believe even the people never saw it would agree with me.

Prejudice

Almost everyone has this prejudice: "When you see someone drives badly, then you'll say the driver must be female."

I hate this idea!!!
And I hate to be this kind of female others are talking about. But I gotta admit that, in reality, probably 80% of bad drivers are female.....big sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

千言萬語...

其實最近滿多想法的...
卻又無法即時Post到我的Blog....
(可惡!! 公司鎖無名!!)
累積到一定程度...
就是千言萬語...卻又不知該從何說起~
所以各位客倌....不是我的生活乏善可陳....只是沒努力經營罷了~
唉~ 哪天我再一一補齊好了!!

How Lucky I am

...
今天早上如往常一樣...心不甘情不願地起床~
如往常一樣地7:20出門....
如往常一樣地"奔馳"在復興南北路...
但事件就在出復北地下道要上大直橋的那個moment~

今天怪也就怪在....大直橋右側往明水路的匣道....竟然車排到快到要上橋的路段....
眼看前面車停了下來...我趕緊也就踩了煞車停住~
沒想到...不到五秒時間...我整個車受到撞擊力道又往前撞了一下....

Hard Candy 一整個大推!!

Madonna新專輯"Hard Candy"大推薦!!

兩個禮拜之前我壓根兒不知道她出了新專輯了~
聽說了之後隔了一會才下載來聽~
首先知名度較高的是和Justin Timberlake合唱的4 Minutes~
一聽就還滿喜歡的~ 當然也有怎麼看都不膩的Justin的關係!!
後來再反覆聆聽整張專輯...

Only 6 months!!!

May 2008 just ended. That means I've been working for half year in that company.
(God knows I'll stay there long enough to let me write this kind of blog. So, I'll take a note here!!)

If I've worked for half year, which means I've returned from Dallas for 9 months.
Time really flies...in a scaring way in this matter!!!
Can't say too detailed of what I feel about this~
Just hope the decision I made will pay out for everything I've done here!!!

Save Me from Myself by Christina Aguilera

Thanks to 黎礎寧, let me know there's such a beautiful song!

4 Minutes by Madonna featuring Justin Timberlake & Timberland

只能說娜姐...果然還是薑是老的辣~
今年屆滿50了...還是生龍活虎阿!!
尤其又跟Justin搭配!! 讚~

Jump by Madonna

Didn't pay much attention on the lyrics, but I still know how to sing along when I hear the chorus. But now, when I saw the latest Ugly Betty, finally got my eyes on the lyrics, and they really mean something.
Very inspiring~
But most of important of all, it's a great song!

The Secret Garden

Work & Life

工作也將屆半年了~
現在忙了起來其實感覺很好~
起碼不像之前幾個月閒到爆...每天一早被迫醒來卻又不知道去公司的意義在哪!!

現在還處于滿樂於工作的心態當中~
就算加班到七點其實也還挺無所謂的!!
只要能Get work properly done!!
且要是那一週工作內容上出現瓶頸...
一到週末...腦袋跟心不時地也會掛念著....

I Hate...

1. I hate mosquitos
2. I hate cockroaches
3. I hate Taiwan's humid weather
4. I hate earthquake
......

四川才剛經歷過一場大地震...
不禁讓我想起...過去三年我幾乎都在Texas睡得很安穩...

Pissed Off!!

I'm so pissed off...
Can't believe Taiwan's online driving direction anymore!!! (I don't know about others, but I must say, Taiwan Yahoo! Map sucks, especially driving direction!! ) Not one time is totally correct...
Everytime I follow the direction, everytime I got somewhere that doesn't belong where I should've been.

跟阿法的短暫聊天...

上上禮拜...打電話給阿法且妳終於有接起來!!
許久沒聊天再通起話來...聽到對方聲音還是很開心~
也很想念跟妳吃吃喝喝逛逛聊心事的日子~
當然另一件高興的事...我是他覺得相處很自在的人!!
我聽了其實超開心~當然我也有相同感受...

Thanks a Lot to You!!

Thanks to you for not making any move.
Thanks to you for making me feel different than before.
Thanks to you for making me misery in those two months.
And I shouldn't have wasted my best time there, thinking about those nonsense.
And thanks to you for making me leave so soon and I hate that for being an idiot!!

Fall Again by Glenn Lewis

Heard this song few weeks ago, and fell in love with it!
And then I found out this song was used in the movie "Maid in Manhattan" which I saw few years ago.
Also, googled it and knew this song wasn't new, it was from Michael Jackson, but after hearing the original version, I still love this one.

誰說成人一天睡八小時就夠的!!!

唉...這一禮拜一整個累到!!
專案開始起步~
每天都在想禮拜五何時到來~
因為禮拜五一下班就可以完全放鬆!!

話說...常聽到不少上班一陣子的朋友會說~
睡到某個時間就會醒來但知道不用上班就會再讓自己多睡一點!!
這點在我身上目前是不可能發生的!!

Western Music Rocks!!

Actually, I haven't "really" listened to Chinese POP for a while...
If you ask me to karaoke, the songs I can sing probably can be traced back to a year ago, I guess... Long time ago, I still downloaded songs very frequently, at least I know I have heard them not just had no idea at all.
But now, can't say I want to do that...

Now, western music is more like my flavor!!! (Not that I didn't listen to it when I was young, it's just I love it more!!) No matter which genre it is, most acceptable POP or smooth Jazz I love!! They all can suit with different moods and different occasions!!

Chris Botti is Coming

This time, I'm going to Chris' concert!!!

Few days ago, I didn't have any idea he's coming. I knew this while I drove home and waited at the red light and then saw an advertising flag far across the street. At that time, I was not so sure it's him because it's late and the flag was pretty distant. So when I got home, google it.
Bingo!! It is him!!

奇妙的公司生態

用公司電話在某些方面我一直都覺得不太適應...
怎麼說呢~
看大家都很習慣電話一拿起來...撥對方分機號碼就直接通話~
這個看來很正常~
但常常聽到坐得很近的兩個人在對話~
近到(我想他們本人也聽得到)也可以從聽筒外聽到對方的聲音...
那醬子讓我有脫褲子放屁的感覺~

怪人一堆......

晚上六點半左右接到一通電話...

某男子用著不清楚微弱的聲音說著......

某男: 老婆你什麼時候回來呢?! (有裝溫柔的感覺~)
我: 啊?! (因為沒聽清楚!!)
某男: (又重複了一遍) 老婆你什麼時候回來呢?!
我: 你打錯了喔!! 打錯了!! (我重複了大概兩三遍...他一副不可置信的感覺~)

I Love March Time in Dallas

我的另類思鄉情緒又來了!!
會這樣說是因為...Dallas不是我的Hometown!!
但我一定讓情緒宣洩一下~
三月份...其實在Dallas還是冷冷的~
但是那種冷是很舒服的!!

為什麼要特別提三月?!
因為我們Apt外面(我印象深刻去年是在三月份才有的)的不知名樹開出的花超美的~

再加上週遭社區也很乾淨清爽~ 就讓人心曠神怡!!
我好想Dallas啊!!

Being Fabulous

Recently, 2 or 3 TV series are interesting to watch... And I saw several episodes to see how the stories will go, and it's been a long time to talk about strong, independent & beautiful business women since "Sex and The City".

Here, let me just say the shows' names, one is called "Cashmere Mafia" on ABC, and the other is called "Lipstick Jungle" on NBC. Both of these shows are talking about a group of women, they know each other for a long time, they're the best friends, and they all have great business achievement, but somehow they couldn't get everything in control in their lives. What could've gone wrong?! Probably their marriage, their husbands in an affair or passion seems not there, or the kids......there are just a lot of things. Being a woman isn't easy, and being a business woman is not just adding a word at front.

Happy Working Song by Amy Adams

March

March, to me.... is a short milestone although it doesn't mean any accomplishment at the time

First, it's been 6 months since I'm back...
Wow~ time really flies...
But still miss Dallas and all the people when we were there~

Anymore by Emmy Rossum

相機快長蜘蛛絲了~

回台灣後....真的比較少有機會拍照~
起碼目前是醬~
再來...現在也都是在市區裡面...
平常週一到五就是上班...週末也得看有沒跟朋友約出門...
否則就是窩在家...
所以平常要是拍照一定就是拍些跟朋友的吃吃喝喝....唉~
現在還挺想念Dallas到處即是的景色~

For Once in My Life by Tony Bennett, Michael Bublé, Carrie Underwood & Josh Groban

Let's Get Things Done!!!

I attended my kinda first-job year end party last Saturday...For me, just entering this company for 2 months, it's still hard to mix in this happy crowd. Most of them I didn't know very well, so most of the time I only talked to people I've had talked with... Sitting there quietly, watching the show or eating something....
But being quiet, part of the reason is I got a cold AGAIN!!! (angry~)
Most important of all, I didn't get the prize!!

還是要耍賴一點~

在台北開車果然一點都不愉悅~

先說...速度上就差很多了~
這邊是以平均時速40-50 km/hr 在開...好運的話40分鐘...遇到塞車一小時是難免!
在Dallas 一般道路我有時可以飆到60 mile/hr...(我運氣好沒被開單過!)
否則一般來說也不會低於40 mile/hr

再來...開車品質也糟...
在Dallas開車是很輕鬆快樂的~
主要也是因為沒機車/行人
在台北呢...開到整個人會緊繃~

Don't Sail Away by 張惠妹

I didn't pay attention to A-mei's recent album until I heard my colleague sang this song in the karaoke the other day.
Also never thought A-mei would sing a little bit of jazz...
The melody is pretty good; however, I thought A-mei could improve on her pronunciation.
Then, everything would be perfect.

Get Back to Serenity, The Moment & The Flow by Vargo

Be Smart...

一些事總要在不是當下才能想得比較透徹...
也就在這時發現自己的愚蠢跟無知...

無心之談

我用了"心"去交談....
你們卻當我在玩~

Welcome~ Year 2008

剛從跨年現場回到家...
趁還有點感覺時來寫寫東西~

這還是我活到這歲數第一次出來感受氣氛...
第一次是大學時要跨2000年...一票人從淡水騎車到中正紀念堂....
一行人浩浩蕩蕩....那時候會覺得很帥氣!!
雖然說我出去跨年...但是那次也是請同學載我在12點前回到家...
最後是在電視機前面5.4.3.2.1.....
