Once a year, I need to write some ancient-style messages for uncles and grandpas.

- It's always about my own thoughts.
Thoughts change the world. In way too many situations, "reality is negotiable."
I'm learning how to negotiate with myself and my surroundings properly.

- Figuring that I'm learning & practicing how to be happy.
I roughly remember the best line I found in the documentary Where to Invade Next:
"(In Finland) Kids learn how to be happy at school."
So true. Wish I could have done that when I was a kid. But never too late.

- Grateful for TC's lovely photos.
Which make me feel exotic, happy, (and in the mood for love and English.)
Weird but true that I prefer English when it goes to emotional expression.
Maybe for some subtle cuties - definitely need Cantonese for "stronger" ones.

- Grateful for dates.
Spontaneously met YY for some red bean cakes - better than we thought.
Going to join a premiere (thriller though) later today.
Will have dinner with VP Tseng tomorrow.
And arranging a dinner with the best book editor on Thur.
Hopefully I will gain lots of food for thought but not too much social anxiety.

走路去敦南吃鴨血豆腐，結果居然賣完了。順便知道海南雞飯應該也蠻好吃的。
後來試了旁邊的文青燙青菜，還不錯。
順路去問回收空瓶並且保養公事包，人見人誇的公事包（緊抱）
借了邦子的情書，要去洞穴，結果今天提早關門。
打道回府。沖完澡洗好衣服開冷氣準備睡覺，但一時也沒睡著。

不過醒來精神很好，是久違的早晨時光，舒服有涼風。
用托盤盛簡單的烤土司和抹茶拿鐵在床邊吃飯，配邦子的貓。
重看還是很有味道的。N過的簡單生活令人嚮往。

回望混亂的八月，無所謂，快樂的是時間充滿變化，一個月一個月、這樣那樣的都過去了。
昨天 J 陪候選人來拍片順道打招呼，小董來訊找我當保姆，但我在上班啊而且也沒這必要吧。
「最近怎麼樣？」「一團混亂。」但人家就有本事在前台光鮮亮麗囉，
除了是命好，應該也是種能力吧，不用擔心太多。
我的新工作是 boot camp training. 覺得自己真是個會找資料的人！

把一切都拋在腦後。練習過快樂的生活。
保持恰當的距離，現在的意思是工讀生，賺賣白菜的錢、操賣白菜的心。

在火車上重讀「笙簫」，有些時候就需要這種沒腦的東西，非常撫慰人心。
在車站吃免費的薯條繼續看書，然後在晚風裡散步去搭免費的接駁車。剛剛好的生活。

收到摩艾明信片，把之前在櫃子裡找到的貓咪信放在袋子裡。
早起出門，臨時起意換上 "she's playful" 的帆布袋，
是第一次去 The City 買的紀念品，居然五年了。用起來還是很順手，真好。
公車有點耽擱，進辦公室做完各式連絡問候雜事，吃掉兩顆雞蛋，
居然就該走了（趕快去洗碗！），果然時光飛逝啊。
