Still Busy in this month 這個月依然忙碌

About 2 weeks ago, I just experienced the midterm of accounting and a lot of assignments.

But I will have final exams of all classes in the summer terms in two weeks.Even though I 

have wonderful scores of my quiz and midterm of accounting, I do not understand what 

accounting is. I apply what I learned in accounting to my personal finance. This way makes 

me feel interested in learning accounting, and make me feel clear on my personal finance.

Of course, now I am getting understand how the financial accounting of companies work, and 

how to make financial statements look better. 



兩周前,我才剛考完我的會計期中考與完成一堆課業報告,

但是在兩周後,就是緊接而來的期末考了。

雖然在會計的小考 95 跟期中考 91 我都拿到不錯的分數,

不過我還是不能徹撤底底的了解什麼是會計。

在應用上,我把一些會計所學到的東西,

實用在我平時的記帳,果然用會計的方式寄帳,不

僅能讓會計學起來更有趣,也讓我對記帳清楚不少,

當然也知道公司的財務報表怎麼運作,怎麼鑽漏洞。

0611 最近的生活

I  simply described my recent life.

Even though I just took 10 credits master courses, 

I took more than 4 hours studying almost everyday,

because I also got a lot of assignments. 



我簡單的描敘我最近的生活。

我幾乎每天得花多餘四小時來念書,

因為我有很多很多作業要寫,

即使我只修了10學分的碩士課程。



In the business communication course,

I have to write 4 essay in a week and on different days, 

listen 10 minutes news every other day, and read an article in a week.

It seems not difficult,

but we have to remember every vocabulary in listening and reading.

It really drives me crazy, 

and in this week we got one more assignment- a 3 minutes presentation.



在商業溝通課程中,

我必須一週寫四篇作文在不同日子,

每隔一天要聽商業新聞,

每周要看一篇文章,

這看起來似乎不困難,

但是我們必須記住每個聽力與文章的單字,

還要做單字筆記,

這簡直快讓我瘋掉了,

而且現在又多了一個作業 - 三分鐘的上台報告。



Another course is accounting. It is a totally new subject for me,

so I have to preview content before the class, and the review after the class.

This course has fewer assignment than another, 

but I love to this course, so I spent more time on it. 

  

另一項課程是會計,這對我而言是全新的主題。

所以我必須在上課前預習,課後複習,

雖然這課程的作業比前一個少,

但是我花更多時間在這課程上。



At 6/20, 6/21, 6/27, and 6/28. I will take one more course- mathematics for business.

In the two weeks, I might spend all day to study,

because I will get less time to write my more homework.



在6/20 6/21 6/27 6/28 我還會多一堂課 - 商用數學,

在那兩週,我有可能會花整天的時間在念書,

因為我將會有更多的作業要在更少的時間內完成。

孩子們,老師把你們的畢業賀卡寄出了。



普仁國小的孩子們,



老師把你們的畢業賀卡寄出去囉。



如果順利的話,



大約十天之內你們就會收到了。



不過只有十個人給老師住址,



其他的人老師不知道你們的住址,



不知道該怎麼寫卡片給你們。

OMG Nokia 1661 just costs $14。一支手機只要美金14元

No way. There is no such thing as free lunch. Believe it or not.

It's true in America. 

不可能 ! 天地下沒有白吃的午餐,信不信由你,在美國是真的。





※ 14 dollars makes you own it. 14元就可以擁有他。     





It is a prepaid plan from T-mobile. No contract. No shipping fee.

It is including a mobile phone, its accessories (battery, earphones,

and charger) , and 25 dollars money for call. The total money I spent

is 21 dollars and including tax, but I will get the cashback 7 dollars, 

so I just cost 14dollars (NT 462 dollars) to own the brand new cellphone. 

Do you want one?!



這是T-mobile的預付卡方案。沒有合約、不用運費。這方案包含一隻

Nokia 1661手機,配件(原廠電池、免持耳麥、充電器)和一張包含25元

的sim卡。我含稅總共花了21元美金,不過可以拿到7元的現金回饋,所

以只要花14美金(相當台幣462元)就可以擁有一支全新的手機。

你也想要一隻嗎?



※The order status proved that what I said is true.

    訂單金額說明我說的是真的。





※This is cashback mail. I will get 7 dollars back.

   這是現金回饋信。我將可以拿回7元現金。

Income tax report 申報所得稅

※ Angels and Demons, the movie will be in theaters on MAY 15.





In May, it is the time to report income tax. Even though

I am in USA now, I still can report tax through the Internet.

In this year, I have the same situation as last year. I won't 

pay any tax to government, and I can get the tax refund.

Although I will just get almost NT.2000, it is still the money.



五月,又是報所得稅的季節。即使我人在美國,我依然可以透過網路

來申報所得稅。今年我的情形依然和去年一樣,我不用付任何稅金給

政府,而且還可以拿到退稅的錢。雖然只是將近兩千元的新台幣,不

過不無小補。  

Let's go Yankee 洋基加油

※ Yankee Stadium





When I went to New York city, I also went to Yankee Stadium 

to watch Wang's play.However, he lost 8 points in 2nd inning, 

and while he was changed, all the Yankee fans boo him. How sad 

I was. In this game, I saw not only a Yankee's bad record but also 

a fight between Yankee fans. When police came to arrest them, 

everyone said " Get her out!" It was more exciting than watching 

hockey which had fight. Finally, that was not a game which Wang 

had a nice performace, but I did not feel dispointed at him because 

that is the way that all the best pitchers have to be experienced.



當我去紐約時,我也順道去洋基球場看王建民的比賽,但是他在第二局就

被打爆八分。而且在他被換下場時,全場的洋基球迷都在噓他。看了超心

痛的。在這場比賽,我不僅看到了洋基破了爛紀錄,也看到洋基球迷間的

幹架,而且在警察來把他們帶走時,全場球迷還大聲說"趕她走"這簡直比

曲棍球的幹架還精彩。最後,雖然王建民沒在這場比賽有好表現,但是我

並沒有對他失望,因為這是所有王牌投手必經過程。



※A huge stadium





It was so boring to watch Yankee's game. In the playing game, they 

did not have any music which made fans feel excited. They only had

YMCA this show between 6th inning and 7th inning, but it did make 

fans to take part into. The interaction between fans and games did

not exist. By the way, the facilities of Yankee Stadium are really nice.

The seats are wide and confortable, and there are cup racks in front

of seats. The restrooms are like those in the 5 star hotels. Is everything

good? No! The price of all stuff, such as food, drink, and clothes, is not

so cute. A soda bottle cost $5, and a Jersey cost $200. No wonder some

people call Yankees evil empire.



在洋基主場看比賽還真無聊。當比賽進行時,並沒有任何音樂可以讓球迷high

一點,唯一有的就是在六到七局間的YMCA表演,不過還是很無聊。因為球迷

並沒有參與感。球迷和球賽之間的互動就像不存在一樣。順帶一提,洋基的新

球場設備還真不賴,座位不但舒服寬敞,而且還有杯架在座位前面。而且他的

洗手間就像五星級飯店的一樣。每一樣東西都這麼棒嗎?不是這樣!所有東西

的價錢,像是食物、飲料、球衣都沒這麼可愛。一杯蘇打飲料要五塊美金,一

件棒球外衣要兩百美金。難怪有些人說洋基是邪惡帝國。



Here are some pictures I wanted to show you guys.

這裡有些照片要給大家看看。



※ Babe Ruth Plaza 貝比魯斯廣場(curse魔咒)





※This was Wang. (下面那一個白衣人)





※Is that clear to recognize? 這樣有比較清楚認得嗎?





※Wang was in Big Screen. 王建民在大螢幕。





※That was the place where someone fought.

    這就是有人打架的地方。





※YMCA Show 就是清場地的人在跳YMCA





※4/5 poeple left. 因為分數差超多,只剩1/5的人還留在現場。





※ New Yankee Stadium in the evening. 傍晚新洋基球場





※ Old Yankee Stadium in the daytime. 白天舊洋基球場

baseball terms 棒球術語



※ Yankee Stadium 洋基新球場  (Wang in big creen)





Why did I writing this article in my blog? It is impossible for me 

to write it for no reasons. I wrote it because I will write another

article about MLB. I not only watched  Yankees  game in their home

staduim, also went to Fanway Park to wtach Redsox game. After 

watching those games, I deeply believed I am always a Redsox fans.

I will tell you the reasons in next article.



為什麼我要寫這篇文章呢?我不可能毫無理由寫這篇文章。其實這篇文章

是為了下一篇有關美國大聯盟的文章作鋪路。而我不僅僅在洋基主場看了

洋基的比賽,也在芬威球場看了紅襪的比賽。在看完兩場比賽後,我深深

的相信我將會是紅襪球迷。我將會在下一篇文章告訴你們。

Life English 新開了生活英文標題



※ The view of Charles River at BU Bridge.





After getting rid of formal English,such as TOEFL or GMAT, I should 

learn some of life English.How did I get life English? Besides talking 

with Americans, watching TV and movies is also good way to get it, 

so I put an sub-topic, life English,under the main topic,English. It is 

useful to have communication withAmericans. good luck, everybody.



在擺脫正式英文後,像是托福、GMAT,我開始學習一些生活英文。要如

何學到生活英文呢?我想除了與美國人多多聊天外,看電視與看電影是不

二法門。所以我在英文的大標題之下放了生活英文的小標題還寫一些生活

用的英文,在跟美國人聊天這是非常有用的。這各位使用愉快。





Today, I just gave everyone a little examples.

今天就給大家牛刀小試一下。



<EX1> Mike is after Mary.

          麥克在瑪莉後面。(X)

          麥克正在追求瑪莉(O)



It is confusing, right? I learned it from movies. They used it often,

so I thought most of you should know this. Especially you are in the ages

when you are talking about love or having relation with your lovers.

這個很讓人混淆,對吧?我從電影上學到這個句子,而且他們很常使用,

所以我想對於大多數的你們應該要知道這個東西 ,特別是你們都在討論愛

情或談戀愛的年紀中。

RUTH&#39;S CHRIS



In some week in March, there was a restaurant week in Boston, 

so I, Chris, and Hui planed to go to RUTH'S CHRIS to have steaks.

In normal time, eating a steak cost me at least 40 dollars, but in the

week, I can have the same one and just spend 20 dollars.



在三月的某一周,波士頓有各餐廳週的活動,所以我,克里斯,慧就計畫

到茹絲葵大啖牛排。在平常的時間,吃一客牛排至少要40美金,但是在這

一週,我只要花費20美金就可以知道一模一樣的牛排。







Now, let me present the steak,and please do not drool. First of all,

it was an appetizer, looking like curry rice, but the taste  made me 

carzy because it was really delicious.



現在讓我來呈現這個牛排餐,請不要流下你的口水。首先第一道菜是開胃

菜,他看起來很像咖哩飯,但是這個味道讓我太瘋狂了,因為實在太美味

了。





The next was salad. I am the guy who does like to eat vegetable, but

I finished this salad. Looking at this salad, it had sweet vegetable oil.

It was attractive, wasn't it?!



下一到菜是沙拉。我是不愛吃蔬菜的傢伙,但是我也把這沙拉吃光光了,

看看這沙拉,上面還有一層甜甜的蔬菜油,真是誘人啊。







The main dish,USDA Prime Ribeye, was coming. When I first ate it,

I cannot say any word because nothing can interrupt me to enjoy 

this beef. My friend said that this beef was cooked in 400 C 

temperatory so that the beef can keep its sweet sauce.



主菜來了,那就是美國頂級肋眼牛排。當我吃第一口的時候,我說不出

話來,因為沒有任何是可以中斷我享受這牛肉。我朋友說這牛肉在攝氏

400度下烹烤,所以可以保有甜美的肉汁。 







Soup is creamed spinach. It was a little salty, and had strong cream

flavor. If you don't like spinach, do worry about it because this soup

does not have strong spinach flavor. By the way, this soup won't let 

you become strong Popeye.



湯是奶油波菜湯。喝起來有一點點鹹味,不過也有很濃郁的奶油香。如果

你是不喜歡波菜的人,不用擔心太多,因為這個湯沒有很強烈的波菜味。

還有喝完後,你不會變成強壯的大力水手。







The last one is dessert. I forgot it name. One is sweet yellow cream

with some fruit and mint. Another one is chocolate cup filled with 

chocolate cream. Both of them are sweet.



最後的是點心,我忘記點心的名字了。不過其中一個是甜甜的黃色奶酪,

配上一些水果和薄荷葉。另一個是巧克力做的杯子,填充巧克力奶油。

兩者都很甜。

Positive thought 正面思想



我的攝影作品之一:綠島





Recently I incidentally saw a book, The Secret. I remembered 

I heard my friend that he saw this book before. He commented 

that this book is thoughtful but all rubbish. Although I have this

book, I chose the video of the book to watch, so I downloaded it 

with Chinese and English subtitle.



最近在誤打誤撞之下看到了一本書 ── 秘密,記得在出國前聽朋友

說過這本書,他的評語是很有道理,但都是廢話。雖然最近重拾這本

書,但我選擇了下載影片來看,聽說更簡單易懂。於是我下載了中文

與英文字幕來觀賞。



After watching this movie, I think that it is important to think 

positively, but it is not work just to think positively. I have a

positive-thought of my future, but I finally got nothing at all. Then,

I found that I have lacked positive actions wihch go after positive 

thought. Althought I always have positive thought, I sometimes did 

the negitive actions. It is hard to undertand, right? OK, I can give    

you an example.



看完之後,真的覺得正面思考很重要,但不僅僅是只有正面思考就能

發會作用,因為我向來是很正向思考自己的未來,但是到頭來卻都是

空,後來我發現自己欠缺的是正向思考後的正向行動,雖然我都一直

都是正向思考,但是有時候的行動卻是負面的行動,很難懂吧。我來

舉個例子吧。



Planning my future, I often wanted myself to touch the goals 

according to my ages. For example, graduating in 22, having

military service in 23, studying abroad in 25, getting a job 

in 27,getting married in 28, and having my first child in 30. 

How wonderfulthe furture plans  are. I always think the future

 I planed before I sleepeveryday,and it is just a nice "dream". 

I, even if having positvethought, give myself a route for retreat

when I acted, but I have not gone forward without giving me the 

ways to go back. Moveover, I always give me too reasons and 

excuses why I did not achieve my goals, and I cannot face myself

honestly. How pathetic I am.



在計畫未來上,我常常設定自己在幾歲達到甚麼樣的目標,例如我在

大學就計畫說,22歲畢業,23歲服兵役,25歲出國念書,27歲工作,

28歲結婚,30歲有了第一個孩子,多麼有計畫性的未來,我在每天睡

前都在冥想我身處在未來的情境,真的很棒的「夢」。但是有正向思

考的我,在行動上總是會給自己留後路,而不是斷後路的往前衝,或

是在未達成目標時給自己太多理由跟藉口,總是沒辦法誠實面對自己。



All right, from now on, what I will give myself the first goal is 

to write down the goals. I will set up the short term goals that I can

do it day by day. The second goal is to kick out my enemy - excuses. 

The final goal is to live happily everyday, and this happiness comes 

from the true heart not comes from the substances because I found

that the first step of learning English well is to live happily everyday.



好的,現在給自己的第一目標就是寫下目標,一天一天設定短期目標

達成。第二目標,剃除自己最大的敵人 -藉口。第三目標,快樂的過

每一天,不是物質的快樂,是內心真正的快樂,因為我發現快樂過每

一天是學好英文的第一步。

Don&#39;t look back in anger 別憤怒回顧過去








I have not written something in my blog for a week.

I found an interesting thing happening in my blog.

When I wrote article in English, the number of people who 

watched it was decreasing. However, if I wrote one article 

in Chinese, the number of reading times of the article is tree 

times than the articles in English. 



我已經一周沒有更新部落格了,不過這周我發現有趣的事。

當我用英文來寫部落格,瀏覽人數就一直在遞減,不過在眾

多英文中我寫了一篇中文,那篇中文的瀏覽人數居然是英文

文章的三倍之多。



OK! Now going back the topic I want to present to you.

This song is really nice to listen to. I also posted the lyrics 

of this song. I hope all you guys will love it. Enjoy it!



好的,該進入今天的主題了,這首歌真的很好聽,我也把歌詞

給寫出來,希望你們會喜歡。



Oasis-Don't look back in anger 


Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd once never been
All the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away

So I start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away

So I start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
I heard you say
At least not today

prepared a lot of beautiful cards if you say hello to me, I will



mail a card to you.

 

Finally, may all of you have a good moond.



日光節約時間今天開始了,所以我這邊的時間跟台灣時間剛好相差

12小時。如果你已經忘記什麼是日光節約時間,請複習以下文章。

I am extremely tired and almost exhausted.



※ My first time ski on 01/24/2009





Recently, I have looked for a house, striven to study TOEFL,



and coped with the CELOP  crazy homework.



I  sleep over midnight almost every day and get up at 7:30 in the morning.



I also reduced most of my social activities because I really need more time 



to finish those heavy work.



I started to find a cheap, wonderful ,and comfortable bedroom to live  near BU



because I wanted to save more time to have more sleep or I could probably fall



unconcious when I walk on the street.



Owing to the insufficient time in which I prepared the test, my morning class 



teacher recommanded me to talk to the director of Celop my situation. 



She said I might start to my master major if the director wants to be my sponsor.



Anyway, I still should study hard because I want to get a high score in TOEFL to 



prove I have sufficient English ability.

The Sacred “Rac”



※ I stood on the frozen Charles River. Actually, it is dangerous.





Under the line, there is my midterm reading exam.

When I first time to reading, I thought it was a serious article.

Today my teacher taught me this is an ironic article.

You do not know! OK, finishing reading it, I will write why it is ironic.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      
  An Indian anthropologist, Chandra Thapar, made a study of foreign cultures which had

customs similar to those in his native land. One culture in particular fascinated him because it

reveres one animal as sacred, much as the people in India revere the cow.





        The tribe Dr. Thapar studied is called the Asu and is found in the American continent north of

the Tarahumara of Mexico. Though it seems to be a highly developed society of its type, it has an

overwhelming preoccupation with the care and feeding of the rac – an animal much like a bull in size,

strength and temperament. In the Asu tribe, it is almost a social obligation to own at least one if not

more racs. People not possessing at least one are held in low esteem by the community because they

are too poor to maintain one of these beasts properly. Some members of the tribe, to display their

wealth and social prestige, even own herds of racs.





        Unfortunately, the rac breed is not very healthy and usually does not live more than five to

seven years. Each family invests large sums of money each year to keep its rac healthy and shod, for

it has a tendency to throw its shoes often. There are rac specialists in each community, perhaps

more than one if the community is particularly wealthy. These specialists, however, due to the long

period of ritual training they must undergo and to the difficulty of obtaining the right selection of

charms to treat the rac, demand costly offerings whenever a family must treat an ailing rac.





        At the age of sixteen in many Asu communities, many youths undergo a puberty rite in which

the rac figures prominently. Youths must petition a high priest in a grand temple. They are then

initiated into the ceremonies that surround the care of the rac and are permitted to keep a rac.





        Although the rac may be used as a beast of burden, it has many habits which would be 

considered by other cultures as detrimental to the life of the society. In the first place the rac breed

is increasing at a very rapid rate and the Asu tribe has given no thought to curbing the rac

population. As a consequence the Asu must build more and more paths for the rac to travel on since

its delicate health and its love of racing other racs at high speeds necessitates that special areas be

set aside for its use. The cost of smoothing the earth is too costly for any one individual to undertake;

so it has become a community project and each member of the tribe must pay an annual tax to build

new paths and maintain the old. There are so many paths needed that some people move their

homes because the rac paths must be straight as possible to keep the animal from injuring itself. Dr.

Thapar also noted that unlike the cow, which many people in his country hold sacred, the excrement

of the rac cannot be used as either fuel or fertilizer. On the contrary, its excrement is exceptionally

foul and totally useless. Worst of all, the rac is prone to rampages in which it runs down anything in

its path, much like stampeding cattle. Estimates are that the rac kills thousands of Asu in a year.





        Despite the high cost of its upkeep, the damage it does to the land, and its habit of destructive

rampages, the Asu still regard it as being essential to the survival of their culture.

Still not realize it.

Goodbye my friend



※ Kiwhan, he is a smart guy. 

     He is studying in the top of university in Korea and has double majors.





03/01

This is second snow storm I met in Boston.

At this night I got the text message from my Korean friend- Kihwan.

He said he will leave US in Monday morning.

He wanted me do my best in Boston and  hoped one day we could meet again. 

Then we can talk about the memory we had in Boston.





I remembered that days when my Boston friends left were snowing.

It makes the leaving air sader. It also makes people lonely.

Although I experienced the situation many times, I still have this feeling.

Maybe I am the kind of people who are sensitive and take friends as first.

This is why some people told me I put friends in my mind first. 





In this month, not only Kiwhan will leave Boston but Lee will leave to Seattle.

Both them are my best Korean friends, and it means I will have fewer friends in Boston.

anyway,I will always remember you.

All my Boston friends but you are not here.

Memory Impact

※ This picture was taken in BU library.





What is the memory impact?



I created and defined it by meslf.



Memory impact is that the memory which is happened wonderfully 



or horribly in one's life made one feel extremely painful when the 



enviroment is same, but the people or the situations were different. 



I sufferred it today. Because I went to NESE, Harvard Sq., Central Sq.,



Newbury St., and many places I went before near the Cambridge.



My memory was impacted by the memory recall.



I knew the feeling was not good, but I will conquer it one day. 



外國念書就是這麼苦,送一個一個朋友走,又要重新認識朋友,

有時還得忍受孤獨;忍受獨自奮戰考試。留學就是這麼苦,要不

就扛起它、承受它。受不了這個苦就打包回台灣,結束夢想!

In this day, you should go out to have a meal with someone,

such as your friends, your valentine, or lovers. Please do

not be like me, staying in the library all day with my

valentine, TOEFL BOOKS, is not a good plan.

it if you pay attention on it.



Achmed-the dead terrorist









Have fun in Valentine's day~ if you do not know,

Right Back Where We Started From







If you want to learn for beginning and like listen to musics, 

trying to listen to English musics you like is the best way. 





This song I wanted to introduce to you is nice 

because its lyrics are full of many meanings I like.

Moreover, this is the song with bouncy beat,

and it has positive meanings in its lyrics.

Anyway, just click the links and enjoy listening to

if learning Englsih well is not your purpose.





Listen to the origin:

Listen to the one of Army Navy:

http://www.imeem.com/armynavy/music/ZMdPqiVA/army_navy_get_right_back_where_we_started_from/



Lyrics:

Ooh, and it's alright an it's coming on

We gotta get right back to where we started from

Love is good, love can be strong

We gotta get right back to where we started from



Do you remember the day (that sunny day) 

When you first came my way

I said, no one could take your place

And if you get hurt (if you get hurt)

By the little things I say

I can put that smile back on your face 



Ooh, and it's alright and it's coming on 

We gotta get it right back to where we started from

Love is good, love can be strong

We gotta get it right back to where we started from



A love like ours (a love like ours) 

Can never fade away

You know it's only just begun

You gave me your love (gave me your love) 

I just can't stay away, no, no

I know you are the only one 



Ooh, and it's alright and it's coming on

We gotta get it right back to where we started from

Love is good, love can be strong

We gotta get it right back to where we started from



You gave me your love (gave me your love)

I just can't stay away, no

I know you are the only one



Ooh, you know it's alright and it's coming on

We gotta get it right back to where we started from

Love is good, love can be strong

We gotta get it right back to where we started from



It's alright and it's coming on

We gotta get it right back to where we started from

Love is good, love can be strong

We gotta get it right back to where we started from



It's alright and it's coming on

We gotta get it right back to where we started from

Love is good, love can be strong

We gotta get it right back to where we started from

[中文] 如何打電話給我





寫了這麼多篇英文,應該來寫一篇中文文章。如果文筆不好,

請多多包涵。



打電話到美國的手機或室內電話是很大的學問,當初我也摸索

了很久,對了!這篇不是打給建銘看的,真的不是因為他才寫

這篇文章的。





※台灣打美國(用台灣手機或市話)

請撥已下號碼002-1-617-9554032



a. 002這三碼是國際冠碼,002和009是中華電信,006是台灣大,

   任君選擇。



b. 1這一碼是國碼,美國的國碼是1,台灣的是886。



c. 617是美國的區域碼,617隸屬波士頓,波士頓還有857開頭。

   附帶一點,美國的手機與室內電話都是10碼,號碼是以地區

   分類,跟台灣手機用電信公司分類不一樣。



d. 美國866開頭的號碼是免付費的號碼,跟台灣的0800一樣。



※台灣打美國(用SKYPE打)

請撥+1-617-9554032

這簡單多了,SKYPE沒有國際慣碼的問題。





※美國打回台灣(用手機打)

011-886-912-345678



a. 011這三碼是國際冠碼,美國撥國際電話的冠碼,沒問題吧。



b. 886這一碼是國碼,台灣的國碼是886。



c. 注意了,接下來撥手機或市話請省略0,舉例說明,
09XX的手

   機號碼開頭就直接播9XX,播台南電話(06)XXX-XXXX就直接撥

   (6)XXX-XXXX,反正把0拿掉就對了。



很簡單吧,不過費率可就不便宜了,

台灣手機或市話直接打美國一分鐘約5元台幣,尚可接受。

美國手機直接打回台灣,一分鐘1美金,切身之痛。

不過要是透過國際電話卡,播回台灣市話一分鐘只要0.0l美金,

便宜多了。



這樣大家應該就知道怎麼撥電話給我了,

特別是建銘,你應該很清楚吧。^_________________^



p.s.

打給我之前要注意時間,我的時間跟台灣差13小時,

如果你一不注意在白天打給我,我很可能會在半夜接到你電話。

Be a host of myself







From now on, I will be a host of myself.



I won't belong to anyone except to myself.



I won't be controlled by anything including myself.



I won't be influenced by any unreasonable emotions.



I won't care about too much what is not necessary for me. 



I am I, not you, not him, not anyone anymore.

 

My weaknesses were died at this moment.  



 Angus exsiting before said,

"Angus existing in the future,goes to be the Angus you want to be."





After having meditated several days,I were back, 

but I knew I am different from prior me.

Change is indispensible, isn't it?!

Take my breath away



click to listen to the music.

http://www.youmaker.com/video/sa?id=8940f271056b4b8a8fab8f25b7d368d2001





This is a song came from the movies" Top Gun".



When I listened to this music, it recalled me many memories.



However, these were not wonderful memories, instead, the terrible memories about loss.



By the age increased, I felt more fearful to lose.



I were feared of losing dreams, losing friends, losing everything I want.



Recently, I have had nightmares almost every night. 



I dreamed I failed in test then went back Taiwan and got nothing.



Therefore, I am afraid of the feeling of loss.



I hope I can take everything I need, such as the tests, love, money, careers, and my future.



Loss, get out my life!

I will come back when leave is not necessary

Perfume and Fragrance





The memory of the smell is the most ancient memory.



It always makes people to recall the deepest memory,



especially the memory in the subconscious,also the 



memory which mankind don't face. 



As soon as people love the perfume, it means he has 



ancient secrets in his mind,and the secrets are that 



he misses but not want to face.  



嗅覺的記憶是最古老的,它始終能讓人回想起最深層的記憶,



尤其是潛藏在潛意識底下的記憶,也是人最不願面對的記憶。



一旦人喜歡上香水,代表著他內心藏著許多古老的秘密,也是



他所懷念卻不願面對的秘密。

中文解說

到波士頓大學(BU)念書前,包含語言學校,一定要先在台灣做好預防針接種,

不然就得花近五倍的錢在BU接踵預防針。



預防針接種步驟如下:

1.下載下面兩份的資料

   
健康歷史與身體檢查報告

  
http://www.bu.edu/shs/forms/health.pdf

  要接種哪些預防針

 
http://www.bu.edu/shs/required/imm-requirements.pdf



ps1解說一下健康歷史與身體檢查報告這份文件好了,

     第一張是學生基本資料,剩下的就空下來吧。

     第二張是健康狀態,給醫生填的。

     第三四張很重要,有關疫苗的事,請交給專業的醫

     師,記得第四張填完要醫師簽名。

     第五張是心理健康諮詢,跳過。

     第六張是結核病的診斷,只要三個問題是回答NO,

     就不用擔心了。

     第七八張是腦膜炎疫苗接種棄權書,如果你沒有住

     校就不用管他了。



ps2解說一下要接種哪些預防針我們是international Students,

     要接種1. MMR兩劑(要相隔一個月才可以打第二劑,但是

     只要找出證明小時後打過一劑,就可以只要打一劑。或者

     再打MMR之前先驗是否有MMR抗體,如果有只要打一劑。)

     2.在十年內接種Td 或Tdap(破傷風、白喉、百日咳) 

     3.三劑的B肝抗體(可以抽血驗抗體)

     4.五年內接種過腦膜炎抗體(要校內住宿才需要,可填放棄接種聲明書)



2.帶這兩張表格去大醫院的家庭醫學科。

   如果要接種腦膜炎疫苗,請先打電話問疾病防治中心那家醫院有疫苗,

   台南區只有成大醫院有而已。



3.整個過程需要一到兩週的時間,請提早處理。



4.完成健康歷史與身體檢查報告所有表格,最後要確認醫師簽名



5.這樣的檢查在台灣不到100美元,在BU光所有疫苗接種就要555美金。

   疫苗費用見如下網址
http://www.bu.edu/shs/fees/fees.shtml

   B肝疫苗一劑75美金 (要三劑)

   MMR一劑65美金 (要兩劑)

   腦膜炎一劑125美金

   Tdap一劑75美金



Anyway,不是麻煩省錢就是花大錢。

Dreamer or Dream Chaser




Be a Dreamer or Be a Dream Chaser

當夢想家或當一個夢想追求者



Dreamers have dreams, but they just have dreams 

or just think how makes the dreams come true.

夢想家有用夢,但只是有用夢而已,或只想著如何讓夢成真。



Dream Chasers also  have the dreams, 

and they do something to make dreams come true.

夢想追求者同樣也用有夢,而且他們會實踐某些事來讓自己的夢成真。



I hope I am a dream chaser.

但願自己是夢想追求者。

Recommending Two CDs

I want to recommend two CDs, and their type are about classic music 

but presented by different style.



If your are interested in them, please connect the links.

There will have more details about the two CDs.



First CD- 交響情人夢-古典新玩家 / 艾迪亞交響樂團 ADYA / ADYA CLASSIC

http://www.books.com.tw/exep/cdfile.php?item=0020125333



Second CD- 與交響樂共舞 / 古典新玩家 ADYA / ADYA CLASSIC

http://www.books.com.tw/exep/cdfile.php?item=0020130186





我本身很喜歡聽古典樂,但是有時候覺得古典樂曲風太過保守,

聽久了會壓抑心哩,反而不能從音樂中釋放自己情緒。搖滾樂則

時恰恰相反,起初會得到心靈上的解脫,一旦聽久了則是會有空

虛感,反而無法填滿解脫後空虛的心靈。



而這張AYDA所從新詮釋的古典樂,不僅保留古典的基本元素,也

加入了搖滾或爵士的曲風,讓古典樂不再保守,也讓我的心靈從

壓抑的古典曲風中得到搖滾的釋放,愛死這兩張CD了,anyway,

做自己最重要。
