晚上回家時,遠遠的就看到陽台上有一隻狗尾巴使勁的搖著,正懷疑我家的狗狗並沒有這樣的白色大尾巴時,就看見一隻米白色的拉不拉多被綁在欄杆上,在陽台來 回踱步著.有趣的是,當我一走進,小拉拉就立刻向陳年舊識一樣的撲了上來,親暱的撒著嬌. 我充滿了疑惑,連忙問家人是怎麼回事.原來是爸爸的朋友意外的撿了條狗,卻沒有地方,只好請我們暫時收留. 看來是某個人家的狗啊!乾乾淨淨又很有教養的樣子, 走丟了主人一定很擔心吧?!
進了家門,一眼就瞧見我們家那隻黃色小土狗Calo賴 在皮沙發上生著悶氣. Calo雖然個子小小,但年紀可不小,有15歲了. 糟的是他繼承了我們家的火爆脾氣,個性倔強的不得了,絕對是我家一脈相承的熱血分子. 家裡多了隻狗,牠可不開心了,聽說小拉拉剛回家時牠奪門而出要跟陌生狗拼命,全家人費了好大一番勁才拉住牠.然後Calo就開始生悶氣不理人了.於是我們 只好把小拉拉綁在陽台上,外加一條毛毯取暖,不讓他進門了.
有條新狗是很可愛啦,但畢竟也是別人家的,丟了狗的主人也許急得睡不著呢!雖 然這隻狗親切不認生,但總不能就留在這個已經有兩隻狗的家裡,於是我和弟弟開 始上網找尋狗狗的主人. 聽說這小拉拉已經丟了三四天, 丟了狗的主人應該會到處刊登尋狗啟示吧! 但我們辛苦查了幾個小時的結果,卻讓人不禁啼笑皆非. 尋狗的主人很多,但能準確描述自家狗特徵的卻很少. 不是籠統的說狗是米白色,就是放一張照片任誰也沒辦法分辨. 有的說這狗有神經質(遺失的狗都很緊張神經質的!),有的說狗有舌斑 (我怎麼敢掰開一隻陌生狗的嘴巴檢查啊?!) 說真的,同種的狗都長的差不多,要不是我們來回的觀察照片和小拉拉的不同,實在很難分辨. 這隻小拉拉已經被送去醫院檢查過,並沒有植入晶片,所以我們先剔除有晶片的狗狗們. 然後再依照主人們描述的遺失地點和特徵來尋找. 誇張的是,有一個主人在標題寫他掉了一隻拉不拉多,但點進照片一看,居然是一隻柴犬. 這!!連自己的狗是什麼品種都不知道,叫人怎麼幫忙啊??找來找去都沒有相似的啟示,所以只好放棄,打算隔天打電話去動物之家問看看.
Calo 的怒意未消,隔天清早趁著我們不注意門一開的時候,就立刻衝出陽台狂咬小拉拉. Calo的體型連小拉拉的1/3都不到,卻把牠咬得唉唉叫,嚇得我們連忙將兩狗分開,緊張的程度實在不輸黑道火拼哩! 看來Calo可能一夜未眠都在計畫要怎麼樣惡整新人吧! 唉!原來狗的世界也是挺複雜的.
第二天回到家,就發現小拉拉已經不見了.爸爸說因為Calo一天把小拉拉咬個三次,如果不快點把牠送走,恐怕後果不堪設想.於是還給撿到狗的朋友,才結束了這家畜興"汪"的一天.

逃避現實的方法
逃避現實的方法有兩種 : 躲起來不親近人; 高傲外放假扮不在乎
兩種都是因為不信任,或不被信任才會這樣表現. 高談世上沒有真愛,嘲笑浪漫愛情是神話的人是一種; 與世隔絕不談論自己私事的又是一種.
原來世界上就是那麼的單純又複雜, 沒有辦法想像自己可以用哪一種方式讓自己舒坦一點,於是走得像頭驢子一樣,跌跌撞撞,一會學馬兒的佢傲,一會又像隻騾子般的卑微. 想要故做不在乎,又禁不住的獨自悲嘆起來.

相信的勇氣
只要是人生,就一定會有低谷,也當然的,會有輝煌的時候.
看到了不該看,聽到了不想聽的東西時,想要忘記吧!可是又那麼的在意,該怎麼解決好呢? 日本豆腐店的老闆拿出一缸舊米糠,說,把讓你在乎的東西埋進去吧!十年後拿出來時,一定會笑著看著的.
這世界的人們並不是因為事實而去相信,是因為相信了才變成事實. 話隨人講,但人們有相信的勇氣嗎?相信大家都相信的表面,還是相信背後不知何時才會浮出的真相呢?
犯人告訴警察,人不是我殺的,請相信我. 警察說, 每個來到警局的人都是這樣說的.
如果說,在自己不被相信的時候是最寂寞,那麼在這世界上,只要有,只要有一個相信自己的人,那也就是最輝煌的時刻了.

Fun time @ Halloween
I know, these pictures look a bit crazy, and in fact, we were this crazy.
All of us rented costumes and celebrated Halloween in Taipei where nobody does it. I could see people's eyes when we entered Dan Ryan, the famous chain restaurant from Chicago. The restaurant was full, and 40% of the tables have foreign customers, so I felt a little more comfortable with my costume on and whip at hand because I supposed foreigners are not too suprised with a Halloween costume. We are a group of 14 people full of noise, wherever we go, whatever we wear. It was the same at that night. The whole restaurant became totally quiet when we entered, and people stopped eating or talking because we were so striking that we drew all the attentions. And soon, it became very noisy because of us, and people kept coming asked to take picture with us. Kind of embarrasing but fun.
And then we moved to a bar next to Dan Ryan. Can't remember the name because we didn't stay long. People also stopped talking and looked at us, which made us bored. So we walked toward MRT station, and excitingly talked about how could we scare people on the street and the tram. That was really a fun walk, when we tried not to talk too loud on the street, we realized it was impossible for us even for one minute. Foruteen people with various costumes parading on the street at a early night was so hilarious, especially we talked all the time with very high volume.
Next stop was MRT station (subway station in Taipei) on Nanjing E. Rd. Of course, here people still looked at us, but now, with curiosity. So people even came to us and asked if we were staff from MRT cuz we stood separately at each waiting line instead of gathering together to wait for the tram. Originally we planned to scare people on the tram, so each of us entered from different doors and cars, then moved toward to gather at the car in the middle. However, we didn't scare anybody and felt people peeked at us with interest. Anyways, we played a good entertainment but in a city like Taipei, where people are not very interested in celebrating Halloween, our behavior only made us looked like circus actors rather than a bunch of spooks.
Finally, when we finished the parade and lay on the couches at Brown Sugar (famous bar with great band), we were all wasted. Especially I stroke my whip all the time with my high heels on (oh BTW, I am a SM queen with French maid dress, kind of insane), and I was afraid all the time that I would meet somebody I know on the street. Yes, it was a great night but it's more like Cosplay in Japan rather than a Halloween party in the States cuz people were all too good looking and not like ghosts at all!!
p.s. "SM" stands for "Sadism & Masochism", and "Cosplay" is a famous activity in Japan where people dress like characters in comic books. My role was "Lolita" at that night. Google "Lolita" and you can find a lot of interesting pictures.

People kept asking if we came from a show since we were too high profile and noisy ~

Holloween Prelude
好累喔! 只是挑選萬聖節要穿的道具服就已經人仰馬翻了. 雖然說我的這群好同事們個個都是好相處的人,可是挑三撿四的能力也實在是一流的.七個人簡直都要把一間服裝出租店搞翻了.試穿了幾十件頭套面具造型服不 說,還把假髮道具散的到處都是. 尤其這堆人中沒有一個是說話小聲的,搞到最後四五個老闆和工作人員都不停的在我們背後收拾,並且七手八腳的忙碌翻尋我們的要求,和回答我們永不間斷此起彼 落的大嗓門問題.
最後呢!我們經過英倫王子.北歐公主.清官貪吏.皮裙機車妹.白雪公主.荷蘭奶妹,和狂野爆走卒.彩髮衝冠貓王.森林假 虎.和無數的詭異造型後,終於選出 了七個適合的角色扮演: 甜美性感超女.非洲無敵土著.美腿俏騷女傭.名模級海盜婆.高塔羅紗女王,迎親小牛苦力和高調閃亮巫女.很快的,在本週末就會大肆出動到台北市各大餐廳酒 吧狂歡做樂了.
慘的是,這裡面的人穿的全都是季節不對的衣服,不是厚重的像坨棉被,就是單薄的只有一片斜肩獸皮,看來到時可有得玩囉!!

無敵過敏王
過敏總是說來就來,就像爭先恐後在百貨公司週年慶時拍賣花車前的歐巴桑們一樣,又兇又急的伸出雙手,在我的身上抓下一道一道,又粗又紅的條痕來.但沒有預 告,不知道哪個夜晚會不經意的就猛撲而來,也許在睡前,也許硬生生的把我從美夢中給撼醒. 即便已經沉沉入睡,那突如其來的紅疹就像尖銳的警報器一般,狠狠的戳醒我來.
剛開始的時候,我以為是回台灣不適應溼熱的氣候,所以總是開著冷氣,期待著天氣快些轉涼.尤其總在睡覺時發作,不能擁有好的睡眠品質的確痛苦. 然後我停止吃肉,想著是不是能稍稍解毒.沒有太大幫助後我甚至開始只喝礦泉水,洗冷水澡,避免用肥皂,少吃一些容易發的食物. 沒用沒用,時間一到過敏就來.
當我過敏到同事朋友們都快開始懷疑這只是我缺席的藉口時,我換了床墊窗簾床單,還把整個房間大掃除了一番,結果還是一樣.這是不是一切都是一種懲罰,懲罰 我沒有順著自己的心意做事. 過去的三個多月來,不論生活有多麼開心,交了多少新朋友擁有多少新體驗,每當夜裡一個人得承受過敏的痛苦,狼狽的耙著滿身的紅疹時,就後悔自己幹嘛跑回 來,重新適應環境的痛苦真不是可以說得出口的. 尤其又是那麼奇怪的症狀.
醫生說除了身體的原因,心理的原因一定也有,所以要我再試試看,如果真的不行就得換環境了.

火星爺爺的紀念超人
紀念超人的花蓮民宿海岸邊
原來廣播的力量這麼大!
火星爺爺托聽眾告訴我,那個花蓮海岸懸崖邊的民宿 "紀戀館"已經開張好一陣子了. 屋中陳設都一如我當初設計的一樣, 有保管箱,有便宜沒負擔的秘密保管箱,有供永遠遺忘用的焚化爐,還有會煮好吃小菜的熱情女老闆. 我興奮不已,當下請了半天的休假,跳上計程車到松山機場買了票直奔花蓮.
紀戀館絕不是什麼藝術民宿,沒有奢華的鋪陳,也沒有過於矯情的裝 飾品,簡單的木造建築隱隱懸在崖邊,唯一引人注目的是大片大片的落地玻璃窗,把浪花和海水的氣息緊緊的導引進屋內.在地震颱風多的花蓮,老闆娘不惜成本的做法讓我嘖嘖稱奇.最驚人的是進到民宿大門以後,接待櫃檯旁那個大開窗的六角玻璃屋.
這是個用來吃早餐的起居花房,鑲著藤蔓般黑色骨架的玻璃桌上簡單的鋪著棉質的蘭紫色碎花桌布和放著同色系的椅墊. 白色的窗櫺和屋樑把擦拭的明亮的落地窗照的採光絕佳. 往窗外望去,三百公尺青草小路後面就是海邊,不過坐在這屋裡看不到那令人不安的深絕斷崖,只覺得小路的終點接的就是寬闊大海了. 說真的,就算像我今天兩手空空而來,我都可以在黑色的藤椅上冥想一整天了,何況是那些有著回憶保管箱的人們!
陳美憶老闆娘說, 48號保管箱上,有一個汚漬,好像是當初搬運工人安裝時受了潮,生了鏽的痕跡. "雖然我現在安裝了防潮的設備,可是那個保管箱看來特別不討喜.是嘛!誰希望自己的回憶有汙點呢?"
我隨他走上二樓藏品屋,一眼看見了他說的那個汚漬. 奇妙的是,在多數人眼中看來是瑕疵的生鏽痕跡,我看來卻是一朵黑色玫瑰的別緻圖騰. 是我的! 我當下對女主人說,這個保管箱是為了我特別留著的. 她笑笑, 你可以親手放進你的回憶,然後選擇要把鑰匙寄放在民宿裡或是自己保管.
我想到了那個下雪的小鎮午後,銀白的雪花在我的車窗上飛揚,車裡放的是周杰倫的軌跡. 雪花淹沒了我的視線, 耳裡迴盪的是周杰倫少見的清晰咬字:
我會發著呆 然後忘記妳
接著緊緊閉上眼
想著那一天 會有人代替
讓我不再想念妳
我會發著呆 然後微微笑
接著緊緊閉上眼
又想了一遍 妳溫柔的臉
在我忘記之前
心裡的眼淚 模糊了視線 妳己快看不見
紀念超人的美意,怕是只有親身嚐過情感回憶的人才有辦法體會那種懷藏秘密之樂吧!
超人大頭貼 之 紀念超人
雖然我不知道以後會不會想要紀念你,但今天我不想記起你,所以要把你鎖在遙遠的懸崖邊. 如果我忘了你,一年365塊錢不會是個大負擔;但如果將來的我想要紀念你,我永遠可以找到那時一起聽過的那首歌,還有當時空氣中瀰漫的Ralph Lauren Blue香水味道. 爲了對將來的我負責任,我得好好的留下那段回憶.

人,平安就好
在紐奧良的朋友一家人,自從颶風Katrina之後就一直失聯,怎麼也沒法得到他們的消息.每每聽到電視上聳動的轉播和令人鼻酸的畫面,我的心就一直往下 沉. 雖然每天回家後第一件事就是試著播電話,可是卻總是聽到沒有訊號的語音. 而只要一想到他們一家人對我的照顧和熱情,我怎麼也安心不下來.
我 仍然契而不捨的打著電話,一周了,十天了,雖然認真的相信他們一定都安好,可我還是要親耳確認才能放心. 今晚當電話那頭終於通了以後,我開心的要掉下眼淚來. 伯父充滿活力的聲音和伯母樂觀開朗的話語,讓我更加堅信台灣人真是有最棒最堅毅的民族性. 即使經營的旅館給洪水整個淹沒,即使沒了收入,可對於政府給予的照顧和信心卻一點不減. 電話中我也得知,紐奧良並不如電視中危言聳聽的糟糕,政府投入就災的努力也得到當地人的肯定. 不但提供三個月的糧食水草,也正積極修復堤防,規劃未來重建的補助計畫. 當然糟糕的事情也有,可是被誇張的成分居多.
我 還天真,問說既然市區進不去了,怎麼買東西. 哥哥告訴我,要開一個多小時才能找到商店,週遭的店即使沒有被洪水波及,也都鬧空城,沒有人上班了. 現在大家都只能靠軍糧過活. 他憂心的說,還是台灣好,世界末日的電影劇情,已經開始在美國上演. 而伯母則說,她不擔心,總會有辦法的. 慶幸的是,在撤退到休士頓的期間,郊區的家中沒有淹水,還能有個避風港安心的待著.
還好還好, 人,平安就好. 只要人平安,未來的一切都有希望.
