Summer in Taiwan is rediculous. Too humid and too hot. Always people can only stay at places where there's air conditioning.
I miss autumn.
And this summer is even more crazy due to too much work loading.
Hope that all can go into a better direction...
Cheer Chen wrote many songs which are very popular even for now. She is one of the best singers when I was in college.
Some songs like 旅行的意義/ 太聰明/ 還是會寂寞/ 告訴我 etc are ones of my favorits. I'm lucky to be born in the time where there're so many talented song writers/ singers.
This is a taiwanese song and it has good melody and lyrics. I think the song writer/ singer is popular for this one song but since it hits, I believe the writer/ singer makes a fortune.
Other female singers sing this song too and they're good to hear.

So last month I think the most popular and highly-rated movie in taiwan is Slam Dunk.
I haven't seen the movie but I did see the comic books over than 10 times.
I love the charactors in Slam Dunk - each of them has their own vivid personality and the story is very well portrayed.
Slam Dunk is always one of my favorite comics. I'm such a lucky person to live in the prosperous time of comics in 90s.
This is a song from globe - a band from a long time ago from Japan. The special thing about this song is that the music video is shot in Taiwan. So I can see images of streets/ people/ motorcycles from old times in Taiwan.
It is a very cool and nice song. Share with you.
I saw it from netflix. I think I saw it before but yesterday as netflix put it on the front page, I saw it again. It is a movie with philosophy and warmth- especially the dialogue between the professor and will - regarding life/ achiement/ goal/ love.
Will is a talented but lost young kid and he needs a guide and a friend who is with wisdom, and luckily the professor/ shrink he met is the one - whom played by robin williams, who also plays a teacher in a movie "dead poet society".
There are many profound phrases/ dialogues in this movie - "what do you want to do?" "what are you passionate for?" "When do you know she is the one?"
To be honest, I don't know the answers either and I know that life is not easy. Life is a mystery/ an adventure/ a training/ a path/ a question to us. But maybe what we can do is just to live and mostly there're difficulties- we'll learn to face and deal with them and continue to move forward.
I think not all the memories are happy but since things happen in our lives and each of us are different and on our own paths. Maybe we'll understand eventually and proceed.
Soon one year passed. Now it's November and xmas is coming.
For this year, I didn't go abroad traveling because of covid and also I got quite a lot of work load and don't have time planning for a trip.
But since looks like covid is ending and trip restrictions are limited by most of the countries, hopefully I - actually all of us, can have a nice trip with free minds without masks.
So I bought a car for about 4-5 months and continued practicing. Though I can't say I love driving but to drive is much more convenient for sure. I can drive to my grandpa's house which is about 1 and half hour from my home. And I can drive to other places and do things and stuff.
Hopefully for 2022, I can drive with more confidence and get more fun from it.
Another song from Britney Spears. Actually she has many popular songs and they're all quite nice- from the bottom of my broken heart/ everytime/ toxic/ crazy etc. She's talented but she didn't go smooth after few years. That is quite sad because as a singer, Britney Spears made a young/ pretty/ sexy but not annoying image.

Karen Mok is one of my favorite singers. She's talented, intelligent, pretty and open-minded and mature. She has all the good things a waman can have. She can sing/ act/ dance maybe. I escpecially like her interpretation on love songs, because she represents grown-ups' love and can sing with her beautiful and low key voice. She has so many popular songs- 陰天/ 忽然之間/ 寂寞的戀人阿/ 他不愛我 etc.
It is nice when listening to Karen Mok's songs at midnight when we need a comforting time.
Lately I've been thinking about "styles". What does it mean? How can we find our styles? To be honest, I'm an easily affected by surrounding things so I change styles a lot and also easily got drawn to different styles. For example, I recently think of different styles,
English - more like england style with patterns and it is classy
American - more like casual with colors. But it has city and countryside types, including new york (black/ grey/ white) and texas maybe.
Japanese - simple and femine. Alwasy elegant shirts and pretty skirts.
French - Lazy beauty kind.
I haven't seen her acting actually, except for fifty shades of grey- haven't finished it though. However, I really like her style and image- as she always has a french-like lasy beauty feeling.
Since I've tried to learn more about styling- either for living or for clothing, Dakota Johnson's is one of my favorites- simple and easy-going and beautiful.
Hope I can find my style soon.:)
It is a cantonese song by Leslie Cheung- who was a big star in HK but died when very young.
I listened to it randomly through youtube and it was sung by other HK singers and very good too.
Share with you.

Lately I've been watching youtubers' works regarding cooking. I found out that to cook at home can not only save money and choose the healthy food for good health purpose. But the thing is since I still live in the rented apartment for now and it doesn't have the cooking place- which means I'll need to keep looking for new places to stay if I want to cook at home. But still, it is always fun to watch the cooking-related videos, especially the Japanese kind, because they not only will introduce how to cook but also show how they clean the living surroundings and it helps me a lot.
For now I'm watching Japanese youtubers such as nami's life, hana channel and eiko channel. They're realistic and easy to understand. I'll continue to look for other good cooking channels and share.:)
It is from David Bowie too and I heard it from movie "the martian". I love this movie very much and the song too. It is saying about astraunauts to rescue their team member who is left in Mars. I always love the movies regarding space or science. It is surprising that David Bowie has been written about songs regarding space from such a long time ago- no wander he is one of the icons of the century.
