到現在我還是不太能釋懷
一個人怎麼能就這樣離開
人生會不會有點 太諷刺 太無奈?

Who says one must leave the country to have fun?

I'm back.
I have just finished volunteering at the Bodwell's University Summer Program, a Summer camp designed for students to immerse themselves in an English environment, to learn the English language (well, maybe also swearing words of different languages) and to meet people from different cultures. The program was about four weeks but including the orientation and the end trip it took about five weeks or so.
I did not expect too much from the program before going into it. It's not that I did not know how to spend my summer but because as a new post-secondary graduate, I thought it was more important to secure a job rather than to volunteer. Fortunately, the program proved me wrong. Not only I have acquired skills which will prepare me for future encounters, but I have also received a job offer from the Bodwell High School! (which I still need to consider about.)
What more can I expect than meeting a group of diverse, energetic, and amazing people from around the globe? I don't know how many times I have said this but coming to the program was perhaps one of the smartest choices I have made this year and perhaps, in my whole life. Funny as it may sound, but I have earned so much experience from working with kids and leaders of different backgrounds. I have also learned a lot about myself and the certain aspects which I have not already realized; I have also learned how to deal with conflicts, not only with kids but also with colleagues or even with supervisors. I learned to see things from other's perspectives, I learned to fight for what I want, I learned to show my affections through hugging and kissing. Undoubtedly, there were times when the world seems to have stopped and things had gone out of control. When the kids are so paranoid and think you are bossier than their parents. The job is not easy, seriously, they would come to you and complain about almost everything; the food, the schedule, the teacher, the mosquito in their rooms, or even their love problems, and believe me, it is more complicated than you thought. We were told to check washrooms and bushes during night patrol. As painful as it may sound, seeing the kids cry at the end of the camp and reading the notes they wrote to you make you feel proud and realize that you may have changed someone's (or your own) life. Seriously, I've lost count of how many times I have cried over this camp, and believe me, I rarely cry.
The job was not easy, well, at least from what I had expected. I will always remember
- 11:30pm meetings.
- the training sessions.
- waking up at 6:30am.
- 7am morning calls.
- 9am showers.
- unexpected knocking at your door throughout the night.
- overcrowded school bus.
- loading the school bus.
- greasy and cold pizza for lunch, for dinner, and if you are lucky, you will get it in the morning too! yum!
- The kids think they could outsmart you with almost anything but really you know you have been there and done that. Still, you enjoy catching them red-handed.
- Singing aloud on the bus.
- "Where is Raymond?"
- Boozing time.
- Bonfire at the nude beach.
- Screaming at a 5m jump at UBC pool.
- Splashdown horse jump.
- Cake hunt in whistle.
- Midnight facebooking.
- Canoeing & water splashing @ Whistler
- Stella Artois
- Shakiro shakiro & Barranquilla.
- the partys & dances
- Pipe singing girlfriend
- Massages given and received.
- Movie nights.
- Free spanish lessons (no contaban con mi astucia, sacate de aqui!)
- Talking about frank, aldo, manuel, monaha, and etc..

Mitch Albom 再次成功的俘獲我的心。
從 Tuesday with Morrie,Five People You Meet in Heaven
到這本 For One More Day,怎麼說呢,雖然他的題材和寫作手法都大同小異,但每次看都會有蠻深的感觸。
故事敘述一位中年失意的男子在八年前因為母親過世而受到嚴重的打擊,因而頹廢且放棄了許多事情,包括他的事業、棒球、以及愛他的人,他們也逐一慢慢離去。八年後當他知道自己唯一的女兒 Maria 連婚禮都沒邀請,他覺得自己活著完全沒了意義,於是他決定自殺。
他在一個靈異般的情境裡與死去的母親重逢。他回到老家所在的小鎮,陪母親渡過了一天。這一天,很平常;這一天,卻也很不一樣,因為,母親終於說出了那個祕密。
父親當年為什麼要拋下他們,離家出走?這個問題像一個不曾痊癒的傷口,在查理心中淤著血。而今,這個祕密像煙一樣浮出,遮住了天空,他震驚也茫然——在今生與來生之間的某一個地方,查理重新認識了自己的母親,得知了母親為家庭所做的犧牲。http://www.books.com.tw
看完以後 你會和我一樣,覺得自己的親人還在身邊是幸福的
and hopefully you will appreciate everything about them a lot more =)

最近心情一直很好,好像幾乎已經有點到講話都會語無倫次或是一心一意想要找個夥伴來報名參加點什麼活動甚至跳段即興舞蹈之類的....對.....
看到前總統變裝 江田島平八[1] 整個就是給他傻眼!雖然變裝成日本武士應該被各界人士轟炸了不少但是其實我認為阿,政治本來就應該少一點紛爭多一點樂趣 (cosplay) 的,這道理就有點像美國反戰人士常呼喊的 "Make Love, not war!" (請自行想像布先生和賓先生親密的圖片或是直接按這裡) 或是我個人最愛的一集 south park: "make Love, not warcraft!" 歐,好 high!
Anyway, put aside our personal bias and cultural differences for now 但是比較起來,李登輝先生真的比旁邊兩隻幼齒的帥多了!!
[1] 江田島平八 乃 「魁!男塾」裡的塾長。「魁!男塾」是部融合校園搞笑、格鬥擂臺、充斥偽典的考據、太平洋戰爭造型教官和所謂的真正的男子漢的漫畫。(wiki)

是不是偶爾文章太長或是圖片太多會把之前的文章都擠到下面去?
這個在 wordpress, 無名等其他部落格才有的功能
現在在 blogger 也能實現了!
1. First, go to your Dashboard, then Template, then Edit HTML
(例)
2. Before you start, check the "Expand widget Templates" (展開小裝置範本) option.
(例)
3. Use "Ctrl+F" or 編輯>>尋找文字 to search for </head>
(例)
4. Paste the following code above </head>. Also, please note that you can change "Read More" to whatever you like.
<script type="text/Javascript">
function hidePost(postUrl)
{
var label=document.getElementById("fullpost");
if(label!=null){
eA = document.createElement("a");
eA.setAttribute("href",postUrl);
eA.setAttribute("title"," Read More ");
eA.appendChild(document.createTextNode(" ...Read More "));
eB = document.createElement("p");
eB.setAttribute("id","read-more");
eB.appendChild(eA);
label.parentNode.appendChild(eB);
label.parentNode.removeChild(label);}
}
</script>
5. Now,use Ctrl+F or 編輯>>尋找文字 to search for
6. Replace <p><data:post.body/></p> with the following code:
<p><data:post.body/></p>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<b:if cond='data:post.url'>
<script type='text/javascript'>hidePost('<data:post.url/>');</script>
</b:if>
</b:if>
7. From now on, whenever you make a post and want to hide a specific portion of the post, just insert the following:
<div id="fullpost"> Your Text</div>

如果你像我一樣曾經有幻想將學校炸掉,所以期末不用考,報告不用交但無奈當天剛好感冒 Netdisaster.com 歡迎你來搞!
番茄 恐龍 外星人襲擊 淹水 噴漆
雖然將已經過時的網站拿出來有點白目但是netdisaster 應該是專門設給一些有網站破壞狂傾向的曠男怨女無奈無處發洩多餘的精力
還不錯!

從一開始很單純的使用它的搜尋引擎和它那每一秒都在增加的信箱,到後來寫報告常會用到的 Google Scholar & Google Book Search,以及每天有上億人預覽的 blogger, youtube 和 myspace。
我不知道到底利用廣告或是贊助還是什麼的可以為它帶來多少的利潤,但是這些免費又暴實用的服務讓我有點懷疑世界上真的有那麼好吃得到的免費午餐嗎?
說不定其實 Google 背後的大老闆是隻異形正在計畫著某種 conspiracy 要 take over the world.
呀,我的生活已經離不開 Google 了。
Some interesting terms related to Google:
Google Monster: A person who uses Google for everything they need to look up. Even if they know what website they are going to they prefer to Google search it just to click on the link. Their internet life in essence revolves around Google, if Google can't find it they will never see it. (ud)
Google Boxing: A competetive form of Googling in which two or more Googlers engage in a battle to see who can search more, and faster, especially when they should otherwise be working on important projects. =D =D
googlectual: A person who in arguments calls upon obscure information they found on google.com to appear more knowledgable than they are. Rampant on Usenet and most discussion boards. (ud)
Google Seppuku: "You use a Japanese text input tool and enter random Japanese characters into a google image search. Then you count how many pages until you find an image so disturbing that you wish you never played the game." (ud)
Googleheimer's: The condition where you think of something you want to Google, but by the time you get to your computer, you have forgotten what it was. Very prevalent in the 420 community. (ud)

我想收集郵票。
最近發現自己的郵票還不少,
為何不收集一下?!
但是要從哪裡開始阿?
哪裡可以買到收集簿!
I've tried post office & 麗晶,但是要買到一本像樣的簿子還真難。
難道集郵已經不流行了?

印象中 Annie 好像有在 UBCLE 的討論版提過,但是真正接觸到 Okgo 是在今年的音樂 side event - 等等音樂嗑。怎麼說,一邊製作網頁的過程我不知道聽了 N 遍的 A Million Ways,也不知道笑暴了幾條筋。雖然有點遲但是我還蠻想徵求三個人來跟我一起跳這首歌的。(咳,我是認真的) Here It Goes Again 裡的太空漫步其實我也有趁家裡沒人在的時候偷偷練過,但是因為動作沒有很俐落所以整個人看起來就只能用 "狼狽" 來形容。
對了,我有說過我愛 damask 嗎?
每次看到那種以花紋織成的布整個會頭皮發麻,那種程度好像就跟看到裸著上半身的 Ashton Kutcher 坐在你的床上那樣。 Okgo 愛用 damask,所以我愛 Okgo,有點奇怪的邏輯。
OK Go - Do What You Want (Wallpaper Version)
這支 mv 明明整個看起來就很奇怪很莫名其妙,但是看完後我還是覺得它好酷!

在 11 月UBCLE 我愛部落格 3 的時候才發現 blogger 原來已經出了 beta 版,後來也陸續的見識到很多根本完全就看起來不像是 blogger 的 blogger,對於好幾年前就一直嚷著要換付費功能的我頓時有了不用掏錢就可以有美麗的部落格的希望. 但是目前 blogger beta 不支援匯入舊文章,所以一直遲遲都沒有行動,沒關係,今天不用什麼時候才用?
嘿嘿!

joke of the day

I pulled this one off the humor board from my FMST 316 class,
quite interesting, can provoke a lot of thinking.
Subject: Her Diary ... His Diary.
Message no. 5
Posted by: Dr. Ted Hannah

1.Her Diary ...
Tonight I thought he was acting weird.
We had made plans to meet at a bar to have a drink. I was shopping with
my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I
was a bit late. But he made no comment.
Conversation wasn't flowing so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so
we could talk. He agreed but he kept quiet and absent.
I asked him what was wrong; he said "nothing."
I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset.
He said it had nothing to do with me and not to worry.
On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply smiled and kept
driving.
When we got home I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing to
do with me anymore. He just sat there and watched TV.
Finally I decided to go to bed. About ten minutes later he came to bed,
and to my surprise he responded to my caresses and we made love. But I
still felt that he was distracted and his thoughts were somewhere else.
He fell asleep - I cried.
I don't know what to do, I am almost sure that his thoughts are with
someone else. My life is a disaster.
2.His Diary ...
I shot the worst round of golf in my life today ...... but at least I
got laid.
