年初

一定要喝一杯咖啡來和新年說聲Hi,於是挑選了曼巴咖啡豆,來手沖,看著熱水潺潺穿過曼巴豆粉形成咖啡,想起了一件小事,第一次喝到曼巴咖啡的時空裡。


那是一間在中山北路新娘街道的尾巴,過了地下道然後在2樓的咖啡店,很家庭式也很少裝潢,當然更少客人,好像只有我吧,要去櫃台點,所以找到位置(因為都是空蕩蕩的,很難找適當的位置),一杯一百左右,忘記確實金額(畢竟12年前的事了),第一次被詢問要怎麼泡咖啡,是手沖還是虹吸式又或著espresso,想了一下就手沖吧!第一次有人在我面前沖咖啡,白色的濾紙撒上咖啡粉,然後墊在杯子上面,金色的細長嘴的壺,透過老板的手,一圈一圈的倒在濾紙上,他說這沒什麼,只要你每天練就很容易,那時候只覺得喝杯咖啡而已,不要太複雜,而且這店就我們二人,你是可以很常練齁,總之最後喝下去的時候,只覺得,就是黑咖啡嘛!


那時還不懂如何愛咖啡,或許也還不能體會什麼是愛吧,只知道喝這杯咖啡光是看他用的時候就比我喝完的時間要長了,可是不能不承認,到現在回想起咖啡的模樣時,都是他在我面前不急不徐的沖泡的樣子,店可能也倒了(那時候就要倒不倒的了),也不知道他有沒有再幫別人沖泡,只知道現在我喝著咖啡,偶爾回想起那間破破的2樓咖啡屋和裡面的老板,任何事物只要獲得人的關注,就是永遠了,永遠在人的腦海中吧,現在當然不只喝曼巴,任何淺中深的烘焙出來的咖啡都是我嚐鮮的咖啡,也不只是手沖,任何變的出咖啡的手法都試試,但是唯有那個人的手沖是停留在腦海裡。


所以年初就來沖泡一下曼巴,感受一下過去的咖啡,再來迎接未來吧,沒有過去就不會有今天的我,雖然受傷,但是心境很美好,新的一年,來吧!不管多痛苦多累人,喝杯咖啡再努力,人生不就這樣。

however...

> Paris is not as terrible as hell, it has its own strength, anyway. people dance, sing and do all kinds of performance on the street to attract tourists. Maybe it is a way of living, but for me, it is a way of releasing their desire and a way of addressing the city of art. they are the representatives of the vigorous side of Paris. If you ask me how do I mark the Paris, I would say: low pass. Too many visitors ruin the face of ths city, I should have come to Paris in the winter. Let the cold winds freeze the smell of sweat and stink subway, let the heavy duffle coats wrap people's rudness and greedy eyes to the tourists, let the heat of street preformancer glow the Eiffel Tower, let me attract by this city. it is not quite fair to judge Paris from a visitor's point of view. Because what is good in Paris has been there so much longer than the people in the city. the seine river, and the countless bridges across it. the splendid buildings and tower, the bule sky and green tr...

飛鳥與鐵塔

  照片的主角原本應該是鐵塔,快門按下後卻發現我一直盯著飛進視窗的鴿子,這鴿應該不知道他被捕捉了,不管他之前在哪裡覓食,之後又盤旋在哪裡,那瞬間,它是留在我的相機記憶卡,然後很久以後,被我放在這裡,變成封面相片。它很模糊,因為它是自由的,行動中旁人通常只看得到你的模糊輪廓,因為你在飛翔。   巴黎鐵塔很安靜(雖然遊客又多又吵),但身為地標,是不容許有模糊空間的,就靜靜的為法國多賺一點吧,你的高聳又能如何?你留在歷史裡,每個人的記憶裡又如何?你一直在那裡,而飛鳥早已雲遊他處,過著短暫卻又輕快的一生。   倒是拍照的人,若你的目的是鐵塔,拍照技術也太不專業,若是想拍鴿子,未免守株待兔,不合情理,但作為那段日子不為旅遊而旅遊,只為了生活而度假的心情,跟這麼隨性的按快門,倒是有幾分契合,也讓現在看著拍照的人留下的構圖覺得當時,是過於奢侈了。   人不能要求過去重來,也被要求不能重蹈覆轍,但人阿,就是愛回憶往昔,也許這輩子就不是作鐵塔般留名青史的命,也終究飛不起來,但看看老照片,想想那天所見到的一切是多麼輕易就拿來想念,今日這午夜,也挺值得的。

JOB HUNTING

To be honest, handing in Cv to the retailing store is quite a good fun although long walking to everywhere makes me feel like a dunky--very durable and honest to go forward step by step. Of course, it would be great that I could get a job after this long hunting. I hunt job, and wish all those "preys" can bite me back, at least a bite of inerview. However, this is not the office job, not the "25000 up" ponds job, but it is a job. A job which allows me to dress well, to talk to and observe people. The most important, a job for me to live in London. It has not come yet, but it will be. If 36 CVs to the shops are not enough, then I will hand in 72 copies of them. One of them in this hugh Lodon will be accepted by one gifted manager eventually. Back to CV, I prefer to apply in person rather than apply on line, although it seems that on-line applying is more formal than just pop in the store and say: "hey, is it possible for me to drop my CV here if there is any van...
