五月天「突然好想見到你」線上演唱會






昨天超級不舒服,大部份時間是待在床上。很久沒有這麼不舒服了。今早,頭還覺得暈暈、重重的。幸好,吃了愛心早餐後,慢慢地回覆元氣了。繼續去曬書、收拾那儲存室兼目前我的工作室。皇天不負苦心人,又給我弄出多一點的空間,還有把妹妹買的手卷電子鋼琴拿出來了。雖然MCO有好像快結束的跡象,我還是貪戀這段儘量不外出,只待在家的時光。

剛才看了五月天的線上演唱會。跟前些日子看了五月天的舊作品一樣,讓我覺得,五月天就是一個這樣神奇的存在,他們會點燃你藏在內心深處的熱血,鼓勵你奮不顧身去燃燒點亮你的夢想。

好了,我要做個簡單的ceremony來結束這一天。今天要早睡,免得把身子給弄垮了。^^

晚安。

催你早睡,或陪你晚睡?

在微博通知的引導下,看了一則微博,他問,「催你早睡的人」和「陪你晚睡的人」,你會選哪個?帶上星座。我看了留言。只對巨蟹感興趣,想看大多巨蟹是選什麼。大概刷了一下,看了五個巨蟹的留言,三個選「陪你晚睡的人」,其他兩個選「陪我睡的人」。哈!其他星座也不乏選擇兩個都要,或選「陪我早睡的人」。

剛看到問題時,我思考了一下,掙扎了一下,最終選了「陪我晚睡的人」。我沒有像其他比較會跳脫框框去想其他的選擇。我只是想,催我早睡的人,一定是關心我、心疼我的人;陪我晚睡的人,一定是了解我、願意陪我失眠的人。理智和感性的權衡輕重之後,我選了陪我晚睡的人。

話雖如此,我真正選擇的是,了解我的人。他不一定要陪我。可能他陪我的話,我會不自在。

你呢?你會選擇什麼?你又是什麼星座呢?(笑~)

That red, spicy, springy, meaty, hot and fulfilling Korean ramyeon with luncheon meat!

Pick a favourite food.
Something rich, tasty, and textured.
Describe it using your senses.
Smell, taste, sight, sound, touch.
Be clever.
Experiment with words.
Write like no one will ever read it.

Within this MCO period, I am craving a lot for the red tomyum seafood, and Korean ramyeon. Both are red, spicy, and tasty. Which shall I choose? I should love tomyum seafood more, but let me choose Korean ramyeon.

I love instant noodle, and I think Korean ramyeon is the greatest of all instant noodle!

Watched a YouTube clip by Michelle Choi. There are 2 Michelle Choi YouTuber that I am aware of. One of them is more like a life style vlog YouTuber. I am talking about this Michelle.

Her recent YouTube clip remind me of the Korean ramyeon. And she made me feel more wanting to try Korean luncheon meat! If must taste superb to cook them together. The smell... I don't know... I can't recall. But I feel hungry now, just by trying to recall the smell. It must taste so good, that I could eat a lot of them. Go away on the critics of it contains a lot of preservations and bad for health bla bla bla.

If I could have a bowl of ramyeon now, I film a video of me eating it. Whether put it on my channel or not, that depends. :D OMG, I really want something red, spicy, springy, meaty, hot and fulfilling now. What I could have now is just milo and crackers... :(

Getting fat by eating at this hour? Come on. I am below 48kg! I got my buffer! ;)

Alright. I really can't think of how to describe this ramyeon. Just that, red, spicy, springy, meaty, hot... that I miss so much! Tomorrow gotta eat my last cup noodle in the stock. I forgot to buy more last Saturday. Will keep it stock up in the next outing.

I am Ursula

Pick a minor character from film or fiction.
Tell us about them.
Invent their wider story.

I missed one week for this writing practice. My bad. I normally do this in Tuesday morning. Now, it is almost bed time. Let me try to complete this within 20 minutes.

I am Ursula, the witch in the Mermaid story. Like Ariel, I fell in love with the Prince Eric. I wasn't there in time to save Eric. I saw Ariel saved Eric. I saw Eric gained conscious, looked into her eyes and held her hand tightly. I was heart broken, and went back home.

One day, Ariel came to me. She asked if I could help her to transform her into human. She said she fell in love with a prince. She wanted to become a human, so she could marry him.

"Does he know you?" I asked.

"No. But I saved him. If only I am human, I could visit him without scaring him away. I know we'll fall in love. I saw the love in his eyes!" She claimed. "Please! I know you could help me to make my wish come true!"

I hesitated. I didn't want to help her. I love Eric. How could I helped her? Yes! I got an idea.

"I can help you, but you must give me something in return."

"Yes, I would give you anything, please make me a human."

"Well, as you wish. I want your voice. I can turn you into human, but you'll be losing your voice!"

"But... alright! Deal!"

Finally, I got her voice. I know she is with Eric now. I turned myself into the princess that Eric thought who has saved him. They didn't know what I have gone through. Giving up my power to my successor, and drank the potion that make me felt like strike by lightening hundreds if not thousands times. What worse is, I need to go through this suffers consciously.

Finally, we are getting married. I saw Ariel's crying eyes. I am glad that Eric chose to marry me. On the wedding night, while I was sleeping beside Eric, Ariel came in to our room with a dagger. She stabbed the dagger right into my heart. I opened my eyes, and saw it happening so fast, that I couldn't react. I recognise the dagger. It belonged to me.

I saw there was foam appear from no where, and the sea water flooded to our room. I was floating in the air, watching Ariel jumped back to the sea, and my princess body... She finally gained back her body. The Prince and the Princess live happily ever after, and it's never be me.



Alright! 20 minutes! Reinvent/recreate from the recent Mermaid story that I have on mind recently. Done!

2020心情雜記 #1



嗯,前幾天收到了tripod,迫不及待的想錄製影片什麼的。這手機,Samsung S10,公司發的,也是近期才開始去“實用”它。因此,還沒怎麼抓清用它的竅門。

MCO開始時,還真沒預料會展期到這麼久。我就只帶了三月的貼紙回老家。因此,四月開始,日期部份是用手寫的,一些是用日期印章弄的。

也帶了一些其他貼紙回家,一直都不捨得用。不過,就在這段時間,在這本子塗鴉時而慢慢踏出第一步去用它們了。

前幾天去玩一下YouTube Studio的edit video功能時,發現這首Satie的【Gymnopedie】可以免費用。於是,就有了這樣的背景音樂啦~不過,我翻簿子的速度有點慢,因此⋯⋯接著就用我的【念念不忘。宮歐】啦~

這,算是我第三本正式的塗鴉畫簿吧?!目前還有一本sketch book,把它當成water colour sketch book,不定期在那裡作畫塗色。

前陣子在YouTube看了一位YouTuber的#AZsketchbook系列的畫作。有衝動想跟風。現在隨身的,還有兩本TN大小的新本子是要給今年的Inktober和想好要弄什麼樣的art journal才用它們。因此,還是不跟風了。

也在YouTube看了幾支用Instagram內建功能來使短片或照片更吸睛,因此這次的這支影片有少許跟往常的影片不一樣。我是用Photoscape來弄那框框,還有開頭的主題,然後在iMovie把“材料”混合起來。

這影片是今早在睡房拍的。昨夜拍的有點“亂”。有鄰居的喊叫聲、隔壁的唱歌,還有狗叫聲⋯⋯無語⋯⋯今早的,有父親養的鳥叫聲,然後偶爾有母親在廚房弄東西的聲音。嗯,就這樣吧。

水彩畫

我對水彩畫情有獨鍾不是沒有原因的。那是中學的時候,有一次作業是畫風景畫,在母親的斥喝下,大膽的上色,於是完成了我至今都還記得的那幅畫,黃昏裡的海景。從那個時候開始,我就深深喜歡上水彩畫了。當然,看了不少寫手帳達人運用水彩在本子裡畫了一幅有3一幅的畫,讓我對水彩更加著迷。

在這個MCO,慶幸的是,我帶了一些sketch book回老家。在沒有工作的時候,心血來潮了,就亂塗一下。這是上個週末畫的。


那天早上,載了母親去雜貨店。她讓我在外待著。於是,我又拍了一些照片。之前拍下了照片,也想畫的。不過,就是一直提不起勁兒。那天,就拿出小sketch book,開始畫了。這幅畫,共畫了大概⋯⋯應該有兩、三個小時吧?中間包括午餐和午休。:D

很慶幸,MCO前給自己郵購了最後一批筆(原本是這一年最後的一批筆的,不過⋯⋯)。想買這批筆很久了。如果少了它們,我還真沒有防水的勾線筆。我覺得,畫得還不錯。最大功臣應該是在YouTube和IG share的各位大大的作品。看他們作畫,讓我不禁也有信心去畫下去。

那一天下午,左眼有直播。當時看到了一張他分享的照片。然後,就憑想像一面“看”直播,一面畫畫。(原本是想過後找海龜照片來畫的⋯⋯)


如果我沒記錯的話,這景色是在他分享有關紅樹林的時候的照片。哪個紅樹林,我就不記得了。母親說,那河(還是海?)的部份,畫得不怎麼樣。呃⋯⋯好吧,的確如此。不過,那雲很不錯吧?!原本雲朵很不顯眼。我的白色顏料,就是太透明了,一直弄不出白雲來。不過,後來我就用灰色去添點陰影,然後⋯⋯我自己也喜歡那雲!:)

今天剛收到tripod。嗯,慢慢地,我會在老家弄個小小工作室!不過,空間有限。或許,我可以在院子裡弄個翻翻看影片!:)

Playlist #1 and 人魚




最近,在YouTube裡看到penpal系列的YouTube影片,讓我大開眼界。現在的筆友系統,已變成了這樣?!每封信主要有信、playlist、問題、答案,然後是extra--膠紙、貼紙、memo、畫、偶像小照片等。我是嫉妒又羨慕。然而,我害怕commitment,因此不敢要個筆友。

不過,我對那個playlist感興趣。於是昨夜想了想,決定分享我的playlist。

最近也不知怎麼的,人魚總在我腦海裡出沒。開始的時候,是因為想發布三月錄製的「體面」那首歌。於是,人魚就浮現了。接下來,就開始聯想人魚故事、重生、輪迴什麼的。然後,也花了時間畫人魚。找照片來跟畫當兒,看到了美劇Siren的照片。於是,我的人魚長這個樣子的。也想到魚是卵生的,於是,就不是哺乳類,人魚就變得更“簡單”了。


噢,就是這樣,第一首歌是「愛過」,那句“古老的傳說,留戀海灣的魔咒”。

接下來,就想到那首,那個讓我驚艷的「溫柔」。“我給你自由。”

然後,我就想到那首「偶遇浪漫」。嗯,自己的作品。現在回想,怎麼就不是自己翻唱的「體面」呢?不曉得。看了自己寫這首歌的雜記,也翻看以前寫【偶遇浪漫】的短篇。太多聯想了。

就這樣的走到「夢一場」的景色。我的偶遇浪漫都是夢一場啊~

今年開始夢的日記。醒後,還記得夢境的話,就記錄下來。幾天前,腦海裡哼著「夢見Titanic」。想翻唱、錄製這首歌。

原本,五首歌後,我想喊停的。結果,一句“我坐在椅子上,看日出復活”觸碰了我的心。我還在想,這首歌的歌名是不是「太陽」的時候,搜索引擎已經給我答案了。「魚」。這是冥冥中的安排嗎?!

其實,在部落格嵌入YouTube影片有個很大的隱患,那就是不知道什麼時候影片的主人會刪掉那影片,或改成私有影片設定,我的部落格的內容就亂了。很討厭這樣。因此,更“鼓勵”我去錄製喜歡的歌,來嵌入自己的部落格。Anyway,喜歡你喜歡這次我選的playlist。還沒有正式決定是否定期弄這個,不過⋯⋯我是任性的,啥時候會“定期”做某件事了?!:P

Erik Satie和我的近況



最近,這段音樂又再次在腦海裡浮現。我忘了在哪裡聽過這音樂。是Windows系統裡的音樂?還是Nokia手機的音樂?前者可能性比較高。沒想到我會忘了。不過,Satie和Erik兩個字,我沒忘。因此,輕易的找到這段音樂。

看了這影片的介紹,才首次發現,它是3/4的。嗯,如果要寫3/4的曲子,其實可以這樣做編曲。聽起來,似乎很簡單⋯⋯

網上購買了一些吉他線,正從上海那裡寄來。在老家的吉他,那天嘗試調整時,高音E線斷了。家裏沒有庫存,因此⋯⋯擱置了。整個MCO,比較常做的是,看戲、看小說、畫畫、練圓體字。也帶了繁體練字簿、書法練習等回來,不過,到目前為止,還沒碰。用水彩筆寫毛筆字,也似乎開始寫得得心應手了。哈!當然,不是正楷什麼的,就是繪圖式的文字。沒把紙膠帶帶回來,不過帶了一些貼紙、印章什麼的。還可以寫寫什麼的。我都不敢叫它們做手帳。哈~

唉~母親“驚醒”了。現在差不多半夜十二點了。我得去睡覺了。:|

おやすみ〜

經前症候


其實,連我自己都怕了自己的這個時候。經痛?可能太久了,我不記得上回經痛是什麼時候。最最最最最困擾我的是,這經前症候。連記錄經期的app都會準時預知經前症候的開始。就是經期預算偶爾不準確。唉~真希望這個經期症候快快過去。:(

Keys

you are handed the keys to a place you know little about.
A sports stadium, a farm, a hotel, a restaurant, a school.
You need to take charge, to fake it.
Comedy ensues.


"What's that?"

"Which?" I follow her finger point to my hand, a big bunch of keys is in my hand. "oh? This?"

"Yes."

"Keys."

"I know they are keys, but what are these keys?"

"Oh!" Let me think, what shall be my answer? Keys to a castle? A hostel? My garage's cabinets?

As my mind was running wild with all the possibilities, she walked nearer, and touched the keys.

"These keys looked... ancient."

Yes! Ancient! "Yeah! it was left by my grandpa to my father, and now I own it."

"What are these keys for?"

"Oh, it's the keys of the old cabinet that we put in the garage. You want to take a look?"

"Can I?" Her eyes opened wide with full of excitement.

"Sure, let's go."

I brought her to my garage, and showed her a big tall cabinet.

"This..."

"Yes, the keys are for this."

"But it has no lock!"

"Exactly. The doors to this cabinet was ripped off from time to time, that we no longer need these keys." I laugh out loud in my heart. :D
