To Sum Up October

To Sum Up October

This October seems very odd to me. My husband got concussion from an accident, and the reason to cause him got such which we all feel very hard to believe. And then since he won't be able to working normally, so almost the entire october, I am helping my dear

Riga Woo La La

世界何其之大,有著那麼多的國家等著我們去遊覽,去豐富我們的感官;並在不同的文化裡,感受當地的風土民情,而卻又不斷的在回憶裡,搜尋著似曾相似的體驗。那為什麼是 Latvia (拉脫維亞)? 原因很簡單,因為我不想再往南走,什麼西班牙,義大利,南法,希臘,那些有如火燒煉獄的度假海灘,我真的壓根一點興趣也沒有。又剛好在安荷芬機場網站上,看到有個直飛的航線,目的地的名字滿好記的,叫做Riga (里加)。再稍微google下,原來那是波羅的海共和國裡最大的一個城市,位在東歐邊境,與斯堪地納群島的芬蘭,挪威,僅僅隔著一片海洋;再稍微瀏覽一下整個城市的照片,覺得美的有點誇張之外,暗自竊喜想說這裡該不會是觀光客尚未開發的處女地？Air B&B的房租價格,居然還遠低於我們的預算,9月均溫也只有13-14度,城市鄰海卻也被森林環繞著,根本是天注定要我們去的避暑勝地呀！所以呢？Riga里加真的是個Hidden Gem嗎？我現在坐在電腦前,試著回想過

Learning To Declare Times For My Own

Learning To Declare Times For My Own

上週六從拉脫維亞回到家後,就是不斷的在洗衣,曬衣,燙衣服。徹底地當了3天的洗衣婆,期間還發生我珍愛的白色衣物們全被染灰的意外,跑遍超市洗衣專區,買了好多洗白去漬貴桑桑的產品,用了都沒效果,最後想說我豁出去了!反正白不回來最後也是被回收丟掉得命,不如我用洗馬桶的漂白水稀釋熱水泡看看,居然還白回來了! 雖然最後是有驚無險的拯救了我整批的白衣,但這次旅行回來,花在洗衣服的時間,怎麼可以這麼久？今天也跟心理咨詢師討論了這件事,我說我覺得自己的時間怎麼都不夠用,或是怎麼都用在其他摸不著邊際的事,但自己真正想做該做的事都沒做到。她說,其實每件事都是我自己同意去做的,而那些我同意去做的、也代表著那些事情對我的重要性;只是重要性的先後順序,在我有限的時間裡沒辦法全部處理完畢。那我也反問我自己,既然是我自己同意也認為重要的事,那為什麼我做完並沒有感到開心？是啊？我真的也不知道為什麼,我只希望我可以不用每天都在重複做一樣的事情,整理,打掃,洗碗,澆花,煮飯,買菜,等前面全部都做完後,我才有時間給我自己,而這時後也都下午2點以後了,然後我也已經累到好想睡午覺,到5點煮晚餐前,也只剩3個小時可以給我自

Sesame Oil Ginger & Rosemary Hot Wings

During my summer holiday I discovered a really amazing dish from one of my taiwanese recipe book. This dish contained some typical Taiwanese seasoning but elevate with french touch by rosemary.

About Life Stories

About Life Stories

在家過暑假的這兩週,原本就沒特別計畫要做些什麼,簡單的在行事曆上寫著,手縫日本窗簾,讀本書,做個日式布丁,白天在沙發耍廢看電影,等等。現在八月過了一半,上面提到想做的事,結果也只做了兩樣,不知道我到底把時間消費在哪裡了？刷個手機,一推人在po開心渡假的影片,手拉兩個大Rimowa行李箱去機場的,坐飛機搭商務艙的,海邊日光浴假裝在看書的,南法高級別墅搭配游泳池喝香檳的...我覺得自己胃裡的酸葡萄真的滿到要吐出來了;猛然看到有位“智”者說,IG上面大家都在分享著,生活裡美好的時刻,所以結論就是What a wonderful world諸如此類的鬼話;當下看到這樣的魔鬼雞湯文,真的好想把我吐出來的東西,都打包快遞到他家。這些我們自己以為的美好,說實話就是在愛現啊。倘若大家分享的生活點點滴滴,每個故事都美到心坎裡,看完後內心變得善良且充滿愛,那就還說得過去;但事實就不是啊。所以我都是在上廁所拉屎的時候,刷手機,看著你們分享著那些美好人生片段🙄。 (我真的是覺得滿搭的) 天阿! 我今天講話真的好刻薄。應該是荷蘭天氣真的是太熱了,我的良善已經全部跟汗水一樣的流失蒸發掉了;剩下的只

Long Time No Sew

If there was song can sketch my summer living this year, I would say MPL definitely had won my heart. I discovered this frenchy alternative band while I play the radio setting on spotify. I like this easygoing, casual, whispering voice, combining with a lightly strong tempo through out entire

Work, Sleep, And More Work.

Work, Sleep, And More Work.

After I moved to my new home at the end of June, I had barely time to settle down before I rushed off to Paris. When I came back, I immediately got busy like a worker bee. Because I had promised a cooperation project before the end of the month,

Japanese white bread sandwich with Taiwanese schnitzel

Japanese white bread sandwich with Taiwanese schnitzel

As Taiwanese I should love eating sandwich, however since I moved to the Netherlands so many years ago, I got used to live without it, because when we Taiwanese eat sandwich, it comes with some certain standards which the local dutch bakery or café obvious can't live up to. I

Stephania Turtle Rebirth

This legendary plant which I smuggled here from Taiwan looked pretty dead in our previous apartment, however I think this plant loves the new home as much as we do. It's back alive again, and grew many more new leaves than before. I think this is a sign to show

Neighbor's Cat

搬到新家已經過了一個星期,現在坐在新的客廳,看著外面的藍天白雲,喝著我的日本麥茶一邊打著網誌,感覺有點不可思議,究竟我們前面那幾天是怎麼過的？搬家的那天,荷蘭正式迎來第一波熱浪,週末頂著34度的高溫,把那將近快一百個紙箱一個個打開,一邊整理一邊又要想說東西到底要怎麼擺放,抑或是看著那堆別人送的東西(從沒打開用過)到底要不要斷捨離,還有整個三層樓的空間,究竟要怎麼規劃生活起居,才不會老是上下樓的找東找西。說實話,搬了這麼多次家,這次應家是最痛苦的一次,每天都是在豔陽下打掃整理,三層樓的不斷爬上爬下,加上花粉過敏症完全讓我的鼻水失控,其實我內心的情緒是很煩躁很疲憊的,但秉持著這應該會是10年內最後一次搬家,所以我咬著牙,吞著過敏得鼻涕,5天內所有東西都到定位,米卡一直誇我說我打破以前的記錄,但若是用我可以拍照上傳IG的標準,實在是還有很多事情可以做,但整體上至少可以生活了,今天家貓還對著窗外,跟隔壁鄰居家的貓鬼吼鬼叫的,我看著是覺得很好笑,我想肥弟這個擔心受怕的個性,未來在這個新家真的會充滿著挑戰 (笑)。好啦～肥弟乖,你有兩個爸爸會好好保護你的,只要你開心,爸爸們做什麼都可以。

I had read a quote says : In a world where you can be anything, be kind. however, I can't stop asking myself if people actually appreciated this kindness recently. From now on, my kindness will only give to people who deserved it. I am the master of my own life,

Roma ... Buono Da Mangiare!

Roma ... Buono Da Mangiare!

條條大路通羅馬,羅馬不是一天造成的,那羅馬究竟長得蝦款？這個世界聞名的古城,歷經千年的淬煉,卻依舊閃閃動人,吸引數千萬觀光客湧入朝聖,數不盡的古蹟,看不完的雕像,若是我對歐洲歷史有再多一點的知識跟熱情,我可能會老淚縱橫的看著眼前的真跡,讚嘆說著“啊！人類的文明真的太偉大了”！的確也沒錯,只是我有點心虛,對古羅馬的歷史沒有太了解,所以即使到了競技場,萬神殿,凡帝岡,或是那個噴泉(根本記不住名字),就也是拍了照片,稍微再晃一下,就趕快離去,沒辦法...觀光客真的好多,讓我感到莫名的壓力。反倒是羅馬的美食,讓我感到非常的驚豔！我知道義大利人對於神聖的“義大利麵”,有著非常嚴格得標準,哪些東西不能加在義大利麵裡,哪個醬汁要配哪個面條,或是義大利麵條的軟硬度到底是要多硬多軟,諸如此類。經過這次的旅行,三餐都在吃義大利菜,我好像終於瞭解到“神聖義大利麵”好吃的真理,卻也讓我不敢再隨便說自己會煮義大利麵了,因為我知道我一定沒辦法符合他們的高標準,以後若我要煮義大利麵,我會把菜名改為＿台式義大利炒麵(應該這樣就不會惹怒義大利人了吧🤓)。好了,現在來談談其他驚為天人的小食＿

Push open the door of world.

Push open the door of world.

2年前,這個世界在毫無預警的情況下,因為新冠肺炎肆虐,大家關起了門,封城的封城,隔離的隔離,強迫大家在家遠距上班,但是對一直住在家裡工作的我,似乎是沒有太大的影響,反倒是因為關起了門,與朋友間的互動變得比以往更加熱絡,每週都有home party, 這週末去誰家吃飯,下個週末換我做東,反正也沒別的地方可以去,索性就用滿桌的食物來安慰自己,日子過的反而充實,週週都有些活動。然後,突然之間,這個世界的大門又再次地打開,大家都回復到以前的生活模式,出國的出國,度假的度假,回去公司上班的也都回去了,而對於仍然住在家裡工作的我,心裡卻感到了一種...熟悉的寂寞。說實在的,有點想念instagram的life story share, 在那邊至少還有些回應,多少可以跟住在全世界各個地方的友人,時不時地打打屁,雖然都是些噓寒問暖的對話,但也好過現在什麼都沒有。其實我也知道那些你來我往的愛心,場面話,到頭來對我的現實生活根本沒有意義,我可能又會抱怨自己在浪費時間,恩...的確會是這樣。再堅持一陣子吧, 大家都往外跑了,沒道理我不去外面晃一晃？說不定出了家門後,我會上癮的不想回家了。🥸
