傷逝 Somewhere over The Rainbow

多麼寒冷的冬天… 聖誕節將臨, 驚聞康乃迪克州小學校園槍擊屠殺, 是什麼樣的心魔會驅使ㄧ個平凡少年犯下如此惡行? 

A cold, cold winter, a cold, cold heart… what monster could have motivated a young person to commit such crime?  Tearing souls apart at the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting? If this is not the time to take a stand re-instating the gun control law, the worst is yet to come.

吾日三省吾身 My Day&Happy Thanksgiving!

美洲大陸感恩節的由來某個層面不太光采, 弱肉強食種族滅絕歷史ㄧ再上演, 人類是學不乖的生物…  因為感恩節這禮拜公司運作較和緩, 我才有空透氣更新網誌.  回歸職場樂多於苦, 光想著每天有解不完的設計思考我就興緻勃勃, 長日將盡時雖疲累卻充實飽滿.  早晚的通勤較惱人, 因為處於半機械化的控車狀態, 雜思易浮上心頭, 成了非自願的三省吾身… 結論是有些圈圈我走不出, 可能需要諮商心理學家, 在這之前, 做做小事讓自己ㄧ日ㄧ開心:

等待銀行開門的清晨, 繞道去享用早餐, 濃郁的摩卡熱巧克力, 香酥的義式炸點, 菠菜乳酪煎蛋三明治… 南歐民族樂天大抵和吃離不了關係!!!  我的新寵是iphone 5, 拿它隨時隨地複習BBC Jane Austen迷你劇 :)

I have turned my daily long commute into karaoke sing along haven, BBC mini series Jane Austen marathon, and self therapy all in one.  Continuing to explore educational activities that I can perform in the car without jeopardize my driving safety… perhaps it's time to pick up a new language?

暴風雨後 Only Time Will Tell

近來光景深具言情小說架構:  縱有千言萬語, 不知從何說起?  荒廢部落格許久, 收到許多關心.  療傷需要沈澱, 不想自己養成抱怨的惡習, 快樂也好, 痛苦也好, 都是歷練, 讓人看清楚生命中什麼最重要.

Finally I am back to my beloved humble blog.  Not for more whining… I am determined to hold my head high and make happiness a habit.

新職務忙得不可開交, 當看到工作室的團隊滿懷熱情

代溝 The Grand Canyon

勞騷發多了, 別人讀得煩自己寫來悶… LK近日大煩惱有二: ㄧ是與母親代溝, 二是對婚姻困惑. 代溝有理說不通, 參雜情緒加倍雞飛狗跳, 唯有套用幾句老掉牙的時代曲歌辭'你的起點, 是我永遠到達不了的終點', 其實無關距離, 是兩條永無交集的平行線, 常聽著自己的母親說著灑狗血連續劇般的對白, 若出言頂撞是大逆不道, 聽著忍著我真想就此沈睡不醒, 死亡是終極自由… 時時刻刻提醒自己遇到這棘手狀況, 鐵娘子柴契爾夫人會怎麼做? 詩人辛波絲卡會寫出怎樣的字句? 反正絕對絕對不能步上Sylvia Plath後塵(我真是想太多了, 既沒人家的才氣也沒風流才子丈夫:P), 我要留有用之身做有用之事!!!

I felt like being in the prison these days and it has a proper name: FAMILY. Wherever I turn I see no exit but only DESPAIR graffiti on the walls. Thousand eyes blinking on me…

出櫃二三事 Our Name Is Our Virtue

I was not aware of my own schizophrenic condition until composing this post. The Chinese version has taken quite a departure from the original intent. For those of you who can read Chinese, be ready for a radical tete a tete. If not, enjoy the tamed PC English version on a lovely wedding that we attended over the weekend. The venue was Nestledown in Los Gatos… reminding me of The Lord of The Rings. I was half expecting Merry and Pippin stepping out from the charming cottage :)

如果我有guts, 十年前不會選擇婚姻, 更不會選擇生育兒女. 我不適合家庭羈絆, 努力求學工作是為了早日獨立, 脫離肥皂劇似的原生家庭.
