My Aesthetic

I’ve subscribed some blogs of beauties: Flickr babes, FlickrBooty, FlickrLicio.us – Babes of Flickr, FlickrLicio.us – XXX Babes of Flickr, etc. When I saw some beauties from my viewpoint, I’ll add them to my del.icio.us and tag them with ‘beauty.’ So, by viewing my del.icio.us beauty tag, you can know more about my aesthetic. :p

國樂營第五天 – 報應

早上先去吃了份悠閒的早餐，再到捷運站和林峰正會合。我們才剛出新埔站沒多久，就看到遠方開來一輛掛著金光明寺的接駁車，沒想到我們才一上車，後面來了兩個中年婦女，一直說他們有多趕，還有多少人要搭，還說我們表演又不趕之類的，我覺得我們好像有插隊的嫌疑，不過看林峰正不理他我也只好坐著不動。 Continue reading “國樂營第五天 – 報應” …

國樂營第四天 – 週期

昨天師父邀請我們早上一起去參加他們的早課，我心想既然沒去過便決定參加看看，原本昀毅也打算過去的，不過可能前一晚太晚睡了，起不來，而我，莫名奇妙的在早上六點就聽到寺方敲木板的聲音而醒過來了，可能這就是所謂的緣分吧！原本要自己一個人過去還有點怕怕的，幸好朱也打算過去，便兩個人一同來到大雄寶殿門口。 Continue reading “國樂營第四天 – 週期” …

國樂營第三天 – 嬉遊

早上怕又會遲到，特地早起了幾分鐘，不過廁所被魏子鈞用去了，我只好跑到另一頭的公廁去，沒想到還遇到一堆人，看來大家早上起來都有沒廁所用的問題啊！ Continue reading “國樂營第三天 – 嬉遊” …

國樂營第二天 – 歷史

第二天早上起床的有點晚，結果抵達早操會場時稍微遲了，真是糟糕啊！早操是由鐵人學弟帶的，很有他個人的風格。

從第二天開始我就加緊練習巴哈無伴奏，一整年下來都沒什麼進度實在很糟，希望自己可以督促自己完成一首曲子，最後一天的成果展可以表演。 Continue reading “國樂營第二天 – 歷史” …

國樂營第一天 – 悠閒

原本想要到山下悠閒的吃完早餐後再過去集合，不過早餐營隊有準備了，那當然是多睡個半小時啦！到扇型廣場時，樂器都已經搬得差不多了，學弟妹們還真有效率。 Continue reading “國樂營第一天 – 悠閒” …

Lantern Festival (Yuan-Xiao)

Today is Lantern Festival, which is the first 15th day in the lunar calendar. We Chinese traditionally will hold laterns, go outside, and see the exhibition of festival laterns. We also eat Tang-Yuan, aka Yuan-Xiao.

Although when I was at home last week, my mom boiled some Yuan-Xiao because she thought I may have no chance to eat some on Lantern Festival, I still bought a bowl of Yuan-Xiao for dessert after dinner. (All of them filled my stomach… @_@)

I didn’t care a lot about the traditional holidays when I was in the senior high school or the first years of collage. As the years passed and passed, I became maturer and maturer and began to try putting myself into the atmosphere of the holidays. Maybe this is a necessary process to grow to maturity.

A Little Trick

Author: jaxxon@Flickr. License: CC-by-nc-nd.

I wanted to find a photo about monkeys in a hot spring for the previous post. I searched in Flickr and found only one. Originally I’d like to crop the center of it and adjust the color balance, but I found it was released with a CC-by-nc-nd license. So I sent a mail to ask for the author’s permission.

七星山

為了做 MRI 提早上台北，反而空了一個週末沒事做，便臨時決定去陽明山走走，順便登登所謂台北市第一高峰的七星山看看，前一天晚上先跟室友借了旅遊書來翻翻，不過沒看到我想走的路線，後來又跟 saka 借了大台北的詳細地圖，最後決定從天母古道開始進攻。 Continue reading “七星山” …

Public Hot Spring For First Time

Last night, I went to a public hot spring for first time. A public hot spring means that one COULDN’T wear anything while he’s in the pool. Of course that boys and girls are separated. :p But this is not my first time ENTERING a public hot spring. I had seen somebody naked enjoying the hot spring when I went climbing Mount Ba-tong-guan, but that time, I still wore a swimming suit.

I rode on my motorcycle to Beitou and found quickly the Public Bathroom of Beitou Hot Spring, which my roommate recommended. The ticket price is 50 NTD.

Before I entered, there were about 10 people in it. Of course, I didn’t know them. So, I acted as not a new hand as I can, took off my clothes quickly, and jumped into the pool. There are two pools in the bathroom. One is hotter and the other is colder. But when I was ready, there’s only one available because some people were cleaning the other.

I didn’t feel any embarrassed when I was taking off my clothes or in the bathroom. As someone said, ‘There’s nothing worthy of being amazed, because everyone has it.‘ Exactly, everyone’s looked alike. XD

I dipped myself into the pool firstly, and when I felt too hot, went back to have a cold shower. I kept thinking when I was in, but all the images in my mind were monkeys in the water with their heads outside and look at each other. XD

The process proceeded three times, and after that, I felt a little dizziness and sat at the pool for a rest. After I felt better and had a simple shower, I put on my clothes and went home. Time passed about 1 hour while I was in there.

It’s still a special experience for me to be naked in front of others, but it’s not bad. Maybe I can try it more times in the future, and then I’ll enjoy the feeling of freedom, relax and feel comfortable just as my roommate.
