現在只能說....有頭真好
昨天去另外一家分店支援，路上遇到的狀況真是很驚險。我在高速公路開大約100公里，左前方小卡車的鐵梯就這樣飛出來，我眼睜睜看著那梯子向我的車道滑過來..好像慢動作，我心想完蛋了.我的車這麼輕，閃不過撞上會失控，結果我踩了煞車，閃過了，我後面的車子緊急煞車完全停住最扯的是....那小卡車完全不知自己闖了禍，繼續開....我到了公司還在發抖，哈哈，我同事說-還好不是跟在他後面，不然直接衝進我的擋風玻璃，不就頭都飛了！所以......現在只能說....有頭真好真高興我沒事，不然就看不到大家啦。我昨天想想.其實也蠻平靜的，平常碰到這種事情，總是讓人想到現實生活中有啥遺憾，可是我並沒有，我在乎的人都知道我對他們的感覺，這就夠了。人生不就這樣嗎，名利都是其次，家人朋友是全部。
I love you all.
I love you all.

漂亮的鞋鞋送到家了!
星期一難得放假，一大早就很營養的開了五六個視窗在逛購物網站，
結果原本只是想秀某件裙子給好友Pooh看，
一不小心就看上這雙鞋子！
這雙Ralph Lauren的高跟鞋.原價將近100美金，
那天折扣再折扣後變成39美金，
最巧的是只剩下我的size！
體貼的老公也鼓勵我買下，
昨天下班後我就看見這雙鞋子躺在椅子上等我，
穿起來很有貴婦氣質的鞋真是太美了！

年年有今日，歲歲有今朝
今天是我的生日，本來有點落寞的，
因為實在是開始走下坡的年紀，
同事昨天就看出我提不起勁的樣子，
還一直逗我笑，真是很體貼。
今天我也把行程排得很滿：
早上吃完早餐後跟台灣的好朋友聊天，
然後中午跟同事去吃飯、逛街，
晚上又跟老公去吃日本神戶牛排鐵板燒，
旁邊還坐了個法律系帥哥(離題啦！)
晚上又收到不少朋友傳來的MSN問候訊息，
所以其實有親情友情愛情，變老不是那麼糟哪！
I am thirty freaking three,I have nothing to hide.

How about a poem by Robert Frost: The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I--I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
A wonderful poem by Robert Ward
I wish you the courage to be warm when the world would prefer that you be cool.
I wish you success sufficient to your needs;
I wish you failure to temper that success.
I wish you joy in all your days;
I wish you sadness so that you may better measure that joy.
I wish you gladness to overbalance grief.
I wish you humor and a twinkle in the eye.
I wish you glory and the strength to bear its burdens.
I wish you sunshine on your path and storms to season your journey.
I wish you peace in the world in which you live and in the smallest corner of the heart where truth is kept.
I wish you faith to help define your living and your life.
More I cannot wish you,
except perhaps love, to make all the rest worthwhile.
(Thank you Alyx for sharing)

願化成湖泊
成為湖泊一位年老的印度大師身邊有一個總是抱怨的弟子。有一天，他派這個弟子去買鹽。弟子回來後，大師吩咐這個不快活的年輕人抓一把鹽放在一杯水中，然後喝了它。
“味道如何？”大師問。
“苦。”弟子呲牙咧嘴地吐了口吐沫。
大師又吩咐年輕人把剩下的鹽都放進附近的湖裡。弟子於是把鹽倒進湖裡，老者說：“再嘗嘗湖水。”
年輕人捧了一口湖水嘗了嘗。大師問道：“什麼味道？”
“很新鮮。”弟子答道。
“你嘗到鹹味了嗎？”大師問。
“沒有。”年輕人答道。
這時大師對弟子說道：“生命中的痛苦就像是鹽；不多，也不少。我們在生活中遇到的痛苦就這麼多。但是，我們體驗到的痛苦卻取決於我們將它盛放在多大的容器中。”
所以，當你處於痛苦時，你只要開闊你的胸懷……
不要做一隻杯子，而要做一個湖泊。

平川地一丁目《單曲》『第十六次的夏天』
<第十六次的夏天>
長長的坡道 約定的海岸
在妳來之前 我練習著台詞
妳遲到了 打圓場地露出笑容
指著 湛藍色的大海
今年的夏天 就要開始了
被飛吹起 我追著妳的泳圈
裝酷的我 妳會怎麼看待呢?
不會再有第二次 這第十六次的夏天
我在海浪聲裡偷偷對妳說 喜歡妳
游累了 爬上回家的路
和妳錯開 我想著台詞
等待黃昏 影子出現時
再一下子 影子再拉長些
我和妳的肩膀 就能靠在一起
想試著叫叫妳
如果妳討厭的話 也可以加上稱謂
不會再有第二次 這第十六次的夏天
我向妳的笑容揮手 步伐急促地回家
(感謝包子與我分享)

Fantastic Four ~ It's clobberin' time!
Fantastic Four
這部我期待已久的暑假大片，吸引我的並不只是浩大的場面還有炫目的特效，而是裡面的演員都是我仰慕已久的「自己人」：Nip/Tuck的Julian McMahon、The Shield的Michael Chiklis、Cellular的Chris Evans還有甜姊兒Jessica Alba。也就因為如此我看得特別高興，其他負面的評價絲毫不為影響。原本福斯電影預計首映週末票房有3千萬就偷笑了，結果竟然衝破5千6百萬大關，更打破本年度票房連續19週的低潮，真是非常替他們開心喔！今天也看到一個很有趣的相關新聞：本片原來Susan Storm一角意屬Kate Bosworth或是Naomi Watts，Mr. Fantastic則是意屬George Clooney或是Brandon Frasier，問題是這些明星大概都不願意跟這部片有任何瓜葛吧！此外我也注意到影評對這部片已經到了骨頭裡挑雞蛋的境界，不但冒出「兩位來自澳洲/英國的男主角根本就是改變口音比賽」，還說「導演選角真頑皮」，真是搞不清楚是誰失焦。不過最狠的算是底下這位TV Guide的影評，自己嫌就算，連另一位給予佳評的影評也取笑一番，讓我想哭的才是你吧！

Fantastic Four
FOUR SCORE: How's this for irony: It took one of the worst movies in cinematic history to finally snap Hollywood's unprecedented 19-week box-office slump. That's right, Fantastic Four - which was deemed a fantastic flop by 75 percent of the nation's film critics, per RottenTomatoes.com - grossed $56 million over the weekend. That, coupled with a strong second-week performance from War of the Worlds, lifted overall receipts 2.25 percent over the same weekend in 2004. But don't be so quick to anoint Fantastic Four a hit. The audience for the film steadily declined from Friday to Sunday, a good indication that word of mouth was, well, less than fantastic.
IN RELATED NEWS...: Here's further proof that Today show film-critic Gene Shalit is getting a little gray in the mustache: The human Muppet thought Fantastic Four was - gulp - "brilliant." In one of the superhero flick's only rave reviews, Shalit gave Jessica Alba's rack Fantastic Four an A-plus. Even more troubling, he single-handedly set the pun movement back a decade by calling the film "Fantastic four everyone!" That's the kind of play on words that makes TVGuide.com columnists cry.

結婚六週年慶
7/2是我們結婚六週年慶，
時間真是過得好快喔！
我們零吵架紀錄繼續保持中，
今年我們討論的結果是：
不要干涉對方喜歡作的事，
我們指的是兩性普遍喜愛的一些不同興趣，
像是男生喜歡打電動，女生喜歡跟姊妹滔聊天；
男生喜歡買一些玩具，女生喜歡買衣服.....等等，
即使無法全然理解，也要給對方尊重，
只要別買東西超過預算或是玩到六親不認就行，
不需要過分干涉甚至爭辯不休，
還有最無謂的就是為錢吵....錢再賺就有，
老公老婆好不容易才有緣作夫妻呢，
相親相愛都來不及了，
在此希望大家都幸福喔!

關於港諺"師奶"二字
credit:http://desperatefans.org/fans/
*"師奶" 呢個名字往往都令人覺得只懂得在家裡洗衫煮飯,相夫教子,一點都不update的已婚女人。
*師奶是指歐巴桑心態的人，不一定是說年長的女性。
*師奶和家庭主婦間又有微妙的分別。因為師奶是對無知的小女人的統稱，基本上師奶一詞也引申到一些處事的方法上，含有一些負面的意思。
*亦指有錢人家的受丈夫愛不用工作的正牌太太。
以下這篇文章將來源.用法都有詳盡的解說.看了之後會更清楚
"師奶者，香港人教導小孩，稱呼玩伴之母親為「陳師奶、李師奶…」，這可避免在首次見面之下，而沒有稱呼大人，失禮人前，就算未知玩伴之姓氏，仍可只稱「師奶」，此「奶」讀成「拉」與「大少奶、二少奶，飲奶奶」同音；而婦人稱呼丈夫之母親為「奶奶」，或下人稱呼「老祖宗」為「老奶奶」，此「奶」讀成「乃」。
「陳師奶、李師奶」本獨指有小孩的婦人，冠其夫姓而名之。古語有謂「不孝有三，無後為大」，此之所以婦人在朋輩間亦互稱「師奶」，當亦有些微自許自贊之意，即我已有所出，盡本份矣！稱職矣！但在男性觀之即「揍仔婆」是也，實略帶貶義。（揍仔婆）指當男性在談生意、國家大事之時，若有女子插嘴，會被說：「你懂得些什麼，回家去帶孩子吧。」言其除了揍仔外，其他知識乏善可陳。另外以前香港的媽媽，因生活壓力大，教育水平低，所以認同「棒下出孝兒」，真的是經常揍仔（體罰），更有什麼「寧教人打仔，莫教人分妻」，所以小孩被媽媽揍是常事，鄰居通常亦不會理會。此亦是言其教子無方，只獨沽一味曉揍仔也（體罰）。
「師」字當為「司」之同音假借，所司者奶子也，如稱「司機大佬」意即駕駛汽車行業的從業員是也。若問「司、師」為何要假借，實中國人性壓抑或避諱之表現，而且白話文亦不可使用「陳師奶」而要用「陳太」，加上將生孩子視為女性之天職，有物化女性之嫌。再加上西風東漸，女性受教育者日眾，女權日高，年輕一輩已遂漸有棄用之勢。今轉借後可稍減貶義，最少不是人盡皆知。"

我們的小沙鼠─Mika
Gerbil
幾個星期前有位顧客帶著他的女兒前來店裡要求我們收留一隻黑色沙鼠，
他說他並不要求退款，藉口即將遠行無法繼續照顧她，
我請他稍候，因為需要與小動物部門討論是否有多餘空間，
結果轉身他們已經先行離去，我拿著待在跑球裡的沙鼠，
心想就算追出去他們也會將她任意棄置在停車場，
所以我就被這隻黑色小可愛收養囉。
去買了所需物品以及列印出照顧須知，
我帶著這隻從來沒養過的品種回家，
比起其他多吃多喝多尿的天竺鼠、黃金鼠，
來自沙漠氣候的沙鼠白天玩晚上睡，排泄物又不多，
自然不用常清理籠子，真是非常容易照顧，
最近我們又為她取了個可愛的名字Mika，
希望她每天都很快樂喔。
Batman Begins(純影迷小記)
Batman
這真是自從第一集以來最好看的蝙蝠俠電影喔！
Christian Bale把Bruce Wayne這個孤獨得近乎病態的角色詮釋得恰到好處，
幾位硬裡子配角也非常出色，結局跟第一集呼應的趣味安排讓影迷會心一笑。
身為Christian Bale影迷的我也在觀賞過程發現一些有趣的事：
1.他在拿著手槍準備報復弒親兇手的一幕，令我想起囂張的他在Shaft中被受害人母親槍殺的劇情。
2.他在黑暗中一人擺平多人的武打戲，跟「重裝任務」?的一些畫面類似。
3.他跟兩位美女在餐廳忘情嬉戲的劇情，令人聯想到「American Psycho」中血濺前的狂歡。
4.在片尾山坡上重建家園的豪情壯志，讓人覺得他下一步是要去屠龍(Reign of fire)。
5.現在知道他早先體重突增的原因，是重量訓練初期養成肌肉的過程，再配合飲食/脂肪燃燒，就會看到片中結實的肌肉線條。所以之前盛傳的第一次試穿蝙蝠俠裝穿不下是有理由的囉。
希望大家觀影愉快！

我們的新ㄅㄨ ㄅㄨ
KIA Rio
本來計畫好今年夏天要換部新車，結果上星期五我們心血來潮跑去看車，誰知道一去試開就決定當天買，所以兩個小時後我們通過層層關卡付了頭期款， KIA Rio當場開回家！其實我們兩個對車非常不挑，所知也很有限，前提是只要可以平安妥當就好，實在厭倦了開在高速公路突然聽到怪聲就趕緊將收音機關小，先確定是不是自己車子的輪子飛出去之類的，然後一路提心吊膽到家，更痛恨每次去修車廠就賠上全部積蓄，所以對於新車10年全保固的保證真是喜出望外，即使每逢人問起新車基本資料，我只答得出我最注重的顏色跟有CD唱機，連排氣量都不甚清楚，我還是很慶幸終於能夠邊開高速公路邊聆聽喜愛CD喔！可愛的同事還在我第一次開新車上班時，透過全店廣播器問我是不是買了新車，我理所當然的也用廣播器回她：是啊，哇哈哈哈！
