sketch on the planner...











Date: 30-Nov-2011

the original idea was to draw the rings, but in the end i drew my whole hand; besides, the rings were not the focus at all...

Thanksgiving_17 november 2011/本日感恩事項_民國100年11月17日

1. Thank God that when my grocery fell off from my bike and someone just drove by and laughed, I didn't feel angry or curse back (i probably would if it was before i know God), instead I thought he needs to be blessed and so I did. I thank God for helping me to make this decision.

2. Thank God when I fell off from my bike this morning, a driver (on his way to McD) drove back just to check if I'm alright.

3. Thank God for my prayer group members. I love praying together with you.

4. Thank God I've passed the hardest-ever test...

其實每次在卸亮片指甲油時, 都會再再警告自己, 下次絕對不再用亮片指甲油, 因為實在太~難~卸~了..., 但卻又再每次看到它的時候都會暫時性失憶地又塗下去, 直到要卸掉的那天記憶才會被renew >"<

Women's biggest secret: AGE

not with me though...

however, maybe it's because of the size of our frame which is usu. smaller than people from western countries or maybe because most asian countries are moister and people got less wrinkles on their face (but we also get more skin problems due to the high moisture, God is fair), i don't know.... I often hear people saying "you look younger than you really are", and they may guess from 18 to 26yrs, the latter one is not too far from my real age (28 turning 29 next Jan).

The Funniest Corner: #25 "Mature"


Model: me
Colors: OPI "Over the Taupe"打底 + Skin Food "夢幻葡萄"微笑線 + 壓克力鑚 x2

It's been quite a while since I did my nails last time, even though the smiling lines were not very nicely drawn due to lack of practice, I'm still pretty satisfied with the outcome =)

Thanksgiving_1 november 2011/本日感恩事項_民國100年11月1日

1. Thank God for fixing the computer that I borrowed from Helene, so that I can study my notes for tomorrow's test!!!!!!! (it's truly a healing/fixing, because it couldn't even start up during the whole weekend)/Many thanks to Michał's anointing in fixing computers as well (oh, and also thanks to Riin for sharing the tip: just bring your computer to Michał, it really worked!!)

2. Thanks to Helene for sharing with me about the fund named after Caroline and inviting me to join the "Ljusmanifestation till minne av narkotikans offer[Light Manifestation in memory of drug victims]". May God's freedom deliver those drug-addicts and may His consolation be with her and with others' family

3. Thanks for those who initiated the idea of having a swedish class and many thanks to Evelina for teaching us (the hand-out she prepared is "super bra→["super-duper good" in swedish] =P), now I can count from 1-10 and name some colors!! and soon, I'll be able to say "ja, jag pratar svenska[yes, i speak Swedish]" instead of "sorry, jag förstår inte svenska[sorry, i don't understand swedish]"!!!

Thanksgiving_26 oktober 2011/本日感恩事項_民國100年10月26日

seems that I shouldn't say it as a daily thanksgiving, cause I actually do it weekly instead...

1. I thank for all the gifts of love I received from my friends:
  • backpack and water bottle from ECCT (they always go wherever I go)
  • small deco for mobile from Elaine (which I put together with my keys)
  • cross from Cissus (is put with key chain, too)
  • bracelet & winter coat from Jessica (you just saved me a fortune!)
  • hand cream from Pei-Chun (I really can't survive during the dry winter w/o it!!)
  • facial spray from 尚穎 (although I didn't expect to receive this kind of girly gift from you, but I did and I appreciate for it!)
  • the video clip done by my cell group sis (the best-ever video, I always watch with loads of laughters and tears!)
I just want to thank you all for being my friends and being nice to me!! KRAM (swedish: HUG)!!

2. Thanks to MSN, so I can see my parents back home online and even though there's no sound... we said "Hi" by waving hands!! (oh and I saw Jimmy Wang, too. He just didn't get what we were doing, no matter how hard my mom was trying to explain to him her sis is showing on the screen, yea...we were talking to a dog as if he'd understood what web-cam is all about)

3. Thanks to my mom that every time she sees me she always says "oh you become prettier". I take that as a mother-to-daughter common conversation, but I still appreciate it and receive it happily!!

4. Thank God for listening and answering my prayer; thank Holy Spirit for being with us and leading us; thank Simon for his sharing and teaching without holding anything back; thank our group members' active participation and obedience, and I look forward to our next meeting...

Thanksgiving_20 oktober 2011/本日感恩事項_民國100年10月20日

1. Thank you Jesus for healing the cut on the thumb miraculously!!

2. I'm thankful that I've made myway to Gottsunda by bike(biked 45-50 min in the rain) and had a great time at Tisdagskul. Special thanks to Elisabet for lending me her gloves. (Oh, i also must thank Holy Spirit for leading me the way, 'cause I always arrived at the place only He knows how. haha)

3. Thank God for reminding me of the 500kr that I hid in my planner.

Thanksgiving_15 oktober 2011/本日感恩事項_民國100年10月15日

1. Big thanks to my mom's package, now I have nail polish to have fun with my girl friends and maybe start a new business =P, 8 pairs of shoes for the upcoming year (don't really know why I need so many though...), products from Taiwan that can help me to cook food with more Taiwanese flavor (for those who want to have a cup of hot Taiwanese, or...maybe more Cantonese milk tea [which is called "鴛鴦奶茶/yuan1-yang1-nai3-cha2/"), it's half milk tea and half coffee], please feel free to invite yourself to my place). Mom's love is always great.

Returning to my original identity: Wang, Chien-Mei

Last week the package my mom sent to me was delivered, so I received a notice saying it's ready to be picked up. However, when I showed my passport and that piece of paper to the person in charge, he took a look and asked, "Can you ask Ada Wang to come?" I was like..."eh, here she is, standing right in front of you".

A man worthy of remembrance: Steve Jobs (1955-2011)

Happy Birthday, Taiwan!














wow...i almost forgot it's Taiwan's birthday tomorrow.

Happy birthday, Taiwan R.O.C.!

huh....

although it was a bit troublesome at the beginning,
I still got my package through Helene's help (BIG THANKS!!)

although my apple is dying with Steve Jobs,
I'm getting a spare laptop from Helene (BIG THANKS, AGAIN!!!)

although i happened to cut my thumb and couldn't find myself a band-aid,
I still managed to cook myself a big pot of nice food.

Cost of Compassion: Trust

Last Sunday on the way to the church, I was stopped by a man and he handed me a beautiful rose, saying thing like oh you're as pretty as the rose. In the beginning, I was like, "oh wow, that's a good start of the day" (haha)

好樣的, 雅唬!

I was looking for the English word for "鐵人三項(triathlon)", and here is what Yahoo suggested...

Footprints


A very touching short story that I like a lot and would love to share with you... And may you be filled with God's complete love

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

與神同行在瑞典之第一堂課: 信心

距離上次po文, 已有好長一段時間。雖然之前我很愛說, 時間是我目前擁有最多的東西, 但隨著學校開學, 其實好像就也沒有這麼有閒...(比方說, 昨天上第一堂課, 我們就已經被告知, 該堂課的期末考就在下個月月底。說是期末考的原因是因為, 每堂課只會有一次的考試。簡言之, 一次定生死, 句號。)所以...雖然我其實現在應該要坐在書桌前復習今天講過的內容, 但...我真的很想分享最近的一些體驗跟經歷, 而且, 我想必只會越來越忙, 所以...此時不寫更待何時!! 喔主, 真求你給我智慧來好好運用我的時間, 讓我沒有一分一秒是浪費的!!!

好, 首先呢, 想要說的就是...我真的很開心我來了! 因為我深深的知道, 接下來的這一年將會很不一樣, 而且它會是我未來與神同行的根基。(套句老師今天教的, 即使還不知道, 但憑信心宣告、禱告出來, 就會這麼成的! ) 高興之餘, 我也真的很感謝可以有這個機會來這裡讀聖經學院。與神同行不簡單, 但也很刺激, 感覺每天都是行在水面上。

First lesson in Sweden: Faith (ENG)

whew...it's been quite a while since my last post. things really move a lot faster when the school starts (like the first exam, which is like the final exam for that course will take place in a month). even though I should actually be sitting in front of my desk studying, i've got so many things that I'd really like to keep them recorded, and I'm sure I'll only get busier as time moves on, so i guess it's like do it now or never. (hope I'll still have time to write here from time to time...)

I'm really glad that I came, I really am. Because I know this year would be different and it'll be (i do hope and i strongly believe so) the foundation of my life walking with God in the future. Meanwhile I'm grateful I've been given this opportunity to do so. believe or not, this adventure has started from the very first day...

Kingdom Culture Leadership: Personality Quadrants

Later you'll be introduced of four different personalities, representing four different kinds of leadership styles. Please choose if you're a professional/expressive and assertive/passive person, and you'll find out what your leadership style is.

Professional: whether if you're in a bad mood, when you're asked "how are you?", you tend to hide your emotions and make yourself look all right
Expressive: it'd be difficult for you to hide your feelings; why bother? people would notice anyway...
Assertive: in a group, you're the one who likes to give ideas, like where to go for lunch, etc.
Passive: in the contrary, you are the one who doesn't speak out loud, even if you do have some thoughts in mind

You probably think you're expressive when you're with friends and professional with those you're not familiar with, but here we're talking about most of the time what kind of person you are. for example, even if you're an expressive person, you can't be laughing at a funeral just because you'd like to.

My new toy...

有鑑於出國在即, 又考量自己總愛自以為專業的去調鏡頭兼手動對焦, 再加上我愛觀景窗勝過於LCD螢幕, 因此在經過了好一番思索後, 我買了...

Nikon D5100 + AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR


(是的, 畫面不清楚並非雜訊, 而是....我們家的鏡子該擦一擦了 XD)

I'm just too lucky...

數個月前對發票時,相當開心自己中了兩百塊。還一直想著可不要拖到過期不能領,於是在上面寫下"中奬"兩字並黏在電腦旁邊,不斷地提醒自己。中間還因為收拾行曩而一度找不到它,後來當我在我的小卡夾裡找到它時,簡直興奮莫名~~ 於是決定不再拖延,要立刻去換!

Kingdom Culture Leadership: Beginner's Mind

In the past couple of days, I've joined a leadership training, which really helped me discover the unknown part of me, or better to put, the known but not-too-good-to-admit part of me. Hope I can share as many what I've learned from these two days as possible with you, but it'd be even greater if you can have an opportunity to join yourself, trust me, it'd help you to grow a lot for sure!

Learning from a painful lesson...

今天晚上我跟葉珍珠在公館捷運站前的公車站牌準備搭車回新店時, 從捷運站那頭有兩名男子或許是為了要趕公車, 從那頭闖紅燈衝了過來, 第一個人跑到站沒有事, 但第二個人起步時, 同時有台小轎車因為在慢車道上的騎士減速, 可能也是為了要搶黃燈(從我們的角度只看得到人行燈號是紅燈, 看不到車輛專用號誌)就繞行到快車道並加速, 講到這...大家或許不難想像發生了什麼事...是的, 那台車就這麼硬生生地直直撞上那名男子, 一切發生得如此迅速, 就在我看完第一個人衝到→車子加速→轉頭看到那人起跑→下一秒, 就是碰的一聲, 人飛起來並在數公尺外著地。

這項代誌揪大條:性教育≠性解放

你/妳知道我們的下一代要接受怎樣的兩性教育嗎?
無論你/妳是否已經身為父母,
或甚至你/妳可能覺得目前並沒有生小孩的打算,
我都邀請你/妳, 為了我們的下一代,
花10分鐘看看下面這段影片,
並且連結至台灣真愛聯盟官方網站去進行聯署行動!!



最近透過一個朋友的介紹我才對這個議題有比較多瞭解, 她因為工作關係對於教育部準備於今年九月推動的性別平等教育課程所使用的教材:《我們可以這樣教性別》、《性別好好教》,以及《認識同志教育資源手冊》做比較深入地調查研究, 包括教材編寫過程及其內容究竟是在教什麼。才赫然驚覺, 這當中有許多不合乎真理, 也不適合在孩童國小、國中年紀來做為教學內容的題材。

更令人覺得不可思議的是, 這幾套教材並沒有從事兒童心理學或兒童教育的學者參與編審過程。而反對的聲浪都會被冠上為不尊重同志團體的汙名, 彷彿若是不贊同這套教材就等於是反同志, 以致於關注的焦點被模糊掉。

我有看過這個教材(點這裡可下載), 當然不是全部有問題, 但也確實有好些部份是相當有爭議的。我想說的是, 做這個聯署並不代表我們反對進行性別平等教育或歧視同性戀(事實上有部份內容是連同性戀者的朋友都覺得不恰當的), 而是希望呼籲教育部正視這個問題的嚴重性, 並有一套能傳達正確價值觀的教材及師資, 再來進行這個極為重要的性別教育課程。

只不過對於現階段目的在於花小小錢即可讓手可以做好迎接夏天的準備的我來說, 這兩百多塊還是花得心甘情願嚕窩, I have nothing to complain.

btw....最近我好像很想往甜心界發展 XD

亂髮救星

自從搞了這頭黑到家的黑人頭, 除了洗頭簡直是要了我小命不說(每次洗頭必思考的問題: 我究竟是為了什麼讓自己落到這步田地), 身為生手的我也因為不知道該怎麼整理它, 變來變去也就只有那幾招: 綁包頭、綁公主頭, 或讓它自然流洩。但這裡的自然沒有美, 只有亂糟糟 @@, 再加上前面兩根小蟑螂鬚總愛調皮地冒出頭, 好幾度讓我氣到想要乾脆剃光頭去!!



但人說危機就是轉機, 生命的轉折處總是能遇見希望, 這話還真是沒說錯! 今天晚上我在東區街頭閒逛等淑華時, 我看到了條髮帶, 頭一次經過還沒能想像出在頭上的樣子, 所以沒有拿下來試戴, 但越想越覺得應該會很不錯, 於是就折回去試戴它。果然一試就驚為天人啊!!➝葉珍珠, 我被妳傳染了誇張化的毛病了啦~


因著它的出現, I like my dreads better and I think I can grow them to hip-length



左: 戴著髮帶, 自然放下
中: 戴著髮帶, 胡亂紮馬尾
右: 戴著髮帶, 隨性捲一捲

說穿了還是不出那幾招, 但是因為髮帶的協助, 小蟑螂鬚安份了, 左右也沒有奇怪的爆炸弧度, 整個樣子就好了許多。所以...我決定再去給它多買幾條!! XD



一個不小心, 還給我搞出了個好像有點典雅的樣子, 我只能說.....

"好髮帶, 我們真是相見恨晚啊~"

Oh..funny students make teaching a lot more fun

每週五上班前的早上, 我會去某國中上得勝者課。得勝者在做的是針對國中生而設計的生命品格教育課程 (ex. 問題處理、情緒管理、兩性教育...etc.), 該課程已經行之有年, 我們甚至有許多義工老師是因為以前唸書時曾上過得勝者課程, 而因此開啟了生命得勝的契機, 並回來加入這個服務團隊! (If you're interested to learn more about the organization, here's the official website: http://www.champ.org.tw/)

Anyways, 除了到班上上課, 也會在課後跟同學們有些文字上的互動。雖然叫做「批改老師」, 但其實說穿了就是跟他們在交筆友 哈。這個年紀的孩子, 雖然需要人關心, 卻也總是愛在表面裝酷、裝若無其事。有些人會很熱絡地與老師聊東聊西、有些會掏心掏肺地把所有心事一籮筐地寫在本子上;隨著時代的轉變, 也有同學也會在第一次回應就直接問老師的三圍(看到只能笑笑說老師沒有三圍 哈哈)、但更有些人或許是不會表達, 也或許是懶得表達, 就索性空著讓批改老師一人分飾二角地唱著獨角戲。

有時候打開來看到空白的一頁, 說不失望真的是給人騙, 就算石頭丟到水裡也是會有撲通一聲嘛。但是, 偶爾得到了像這樣的回應, 不僅讓我會心一笑, 也讓我覺得他們其實還是有可愛的一面。

Oh my dream hair =)











After longing for so long, I finally got my dream hair "dreadlocks" done. I'm quite satisfied with the result, just hope that it can grow longer for me to do more different styles.

Our new family member: 小老鼠/Mickey


這小鬼頭自己在某天早上出現在我家外頭, 沒日沒夜地瘋狂叫著, 由於不知道他狀況如何, 就想說先帶去給徐醫生看看: 她是女孩, 沒什麼大礙, 只是有點感冒; 長得已經夠大了, 可以吃泡水的飼料跟罐頭。原本嚷嚷著說不要養她的媽媽, 從把她帶回家後就開始盤算著說要訓練她可以套鍊子跟幾米一起出去遛噠.... 看來, 她已經開始在融入在這個大家庭中了。

看著她全身灰不啦嘰又一副賊頭賊腦的樣子, 我決定叫她"小老鼠"。但沒想到...就在我們開心地叫著她小老鼠或洋名兒Mickey沒幾天後, 她, 她, 她...竟然就被黏在黏鼠板上了...>"< 看來名字果真是不能黑白呼啊~ (雖然我還是覺得我取得很貼切...=P)

圖: 她被從黏鼠板上給解救下來, 身上都是黏鼠板的膠, 老媽跟豆花了許久的時間用沙拉油幫她把膠給清掉。

She spends most of her time sleeping and eating, and she'd cry when she got hungry, just like a baby. She's really lovely and her cross eyes just make her even more adorable~

我在黏電鍍珠時, 赫然發現它的顏色在刷完Top Coat之後, 就全掉色了!? 但後來選擇不刷的結果就是不出一小時就攏總掉關關 @_@ 不過...沒料到的是珠珠掉了之後的洞洞痕跡也還頗有另外一種味道就是了。
