祝我生日快樂


今天之前一直在想,生日那天要做甚麼,只想到要去訂Cupcake的生日蛋糕然後去剪頭髮,或許安靜的和愷藍過。
早上起來先接到小妹的電話,她唱生日快樂歌,聽了快掉淚,趕緊忍住,覺得家人給我的溫暖和支持是我很大的精神依靠。
弄了雞湯稀飯給愷藍吃,在出門前樵打電話來說生日快樂,然後到Mulberry Street剪頭髮,動作很快,乾淨俐落,剪完在Nolita隨便找了家日本餐廳吃午飯,其實也沒那麼餓,怕女兒餓到,結果她倒沒吃幾口。

天氣很好,我站在Noho的交界,一邊想著要去SOHO還是East Village,上次去SOHO不知道是何時,但今天是我生日,我高興怎樣就怎樣,所以我走到East Village去閒晃,女兒已經睡著。

一直想到KIM's Video去選一張 CD,就是很直接的看到喜歡的封面然後希望這會是我的耳朵喜歡聽見的聲音,非常私人且不理性的行為,完全違反"don't judge a book by its cover"的道德原則,但今天是我生日,我不管。

一開始仍然很認真的想找在廣播裡聽到那張John Cage許多年前古老的錄音,或是邊想著如果我在amazon.com上會不會更清楚掌控我現在花十六塊美金可以確定我手上拿著的那張CD是不是我要的。

或許有時候把自己丟回pre-ebay或是pre-amazon的時代前是必要的。
那種完全依賴直覺上的決定。

走到Tompkin Square Park旁的cafe,趁女兒睡覺,坐在人行道旁慢慢喝著咖啡,翻翻手上的書,看著街上走過去的人群,覺得好自在舒服,或許該住到東村去,我邊想著。

邊散步回家。

女兒在路上跟狗玩。

那狗好可愛(種名:Wheaten Terrier) 。

晚上和雲家姐妹和瓊儀在HanBat吃飯,還誇張的點了兩份海鮮餅,然後在我家吃我最愛的Cupcake的生日蛋糕。

所以我想,過生日是,一年裡給自己一天放假,不擔心在意甚麼,做一直想做又沒做的事,對自己好的一天。

那為甚麼不可以每天這樣過呢。

只愛陌生人

最近很喜歡跟陌生人說話,不管是在公園或是買咖啡,沒事就喜歡聊幾句,而原因是,和陌生人講話沒有包袱。不管是他或她,沒人真正在乎你說甚麼,你也不用害怕你說的事情會影響別人對你的看法,尤其像我超級自卑的人。
有一次和一個媽媽講了好久,還講到自己一人帶小孩的心情,可怕的in-laws造成我心中的陰影等等,連我自己都嚇了一跳,而我覺得女人真的很堅強,她二十七歲,兩個小孩,和小孩的爸爸繼續談著戀愛,沒有結婚。
像兩個很熟的朋友,彼此吐露自己的心事,然後天黑了,我們說再見,再回到自己圈起來的情緒裡。

everyday drama

I was waiting for my soy latte at this Soyclub that Sandy recommends.
The guy at the counter was like doing everthing in the mean time.
The guy who just paid was waiting very unpatiently and he even demanded more avocado slices in his sandwich.
The girl who was in front of me was kind of flirting with the guy at the counter. She even left him like a two dollar tip. Too bad he didn't see it when he turned to make her coffee.

I was thinking maybe I should go to the place "grounded" that I spent my yesterday afternoon with. It was more low-key, and more not exclaiming " the organic life style equals soylatte equals vegertarian equals yoga or pliates..so on and so forth"

Those little place are all the same in certain ways, which sometimes I do like and sometimes I don't.

The price you are paying for the soy latte or green tea latte you're holding now, $4.28 dollars.

The price of sitting at the window at the corner of Greenwich Ave & Jane Street, watching people create their little act even when they are walking on the street, and blogging about all this...
priceless.

我的三十一歲農曆生日

今天是越過三十歲的第一天
也沒甚麼特別的
先到樓下把衣服拿上來
收了一個亞樵的簡訊
早上起床在amazon.com檢視幫女兒買的秋裝
然後她自己起床抱著阿祥來找我
看見我時
很開心的笑
然後她吃起司和香蕉
喝了些牛奶
我摺衣服
她刷牙
然後換了衣服
我們出門到Farmer's market買牛奶
她等不及要喝她的巧克力牛奶
然後我們到chelsea market 吃 chelsea thai
不太好吃
但chelsea market很好玩
然後我們去上課

我在這間在Jane street 上的小咖啡店 "Grounded"寫我前天做的可疑的夢
這是我在今天兩點十六分前做的事

然後我要寫Synopisi給 nick
然後再過一個小時我要去接女兒

The very first pseudo time

I really hope that this is the one that will keep me, at least for a while.
Sometimes I ask myself "do I really need to spit all I want to in my virtual existing blog"?
Maybe I do, 'cause we all deserve a break sometimes.
To say what we truly feel and don't need to be afraid.
In a way.

I guess this is the place I want to hang out more and more, maybe.
