May
I was cooking noodles when suddenly everything went dark. Luckily, I had some candles. No one else was at home. I was a bit scared, but I finished cooking my meal. I had a not so romantic candlelight dinner.
While my girlfriend and I were watching a movie at home, the lights went out. It was really hot and boring, so we left home and took a walk in the moonlight. It was kind of romantic.
I cannot tell you how much I hate when they do that!!!!!!!!!!! I mean a bus is pulling over to the curb, doors are opening and these assholes think it’s a great time to go between. I hit a young guy in the helmet once for almost hitting me when I got off the bus…I had to jump to get out his way and he tried to keep going so I hit him in the helmet. He said “Fxxk you" to me so I went back toward him and he sped away.
I hope the person that hit you gets hit by a bus. Really I do. No regrets about saying that.

你只能在在某些時間取悅某些人,但是你無法在所有的時間取悅所有的人。
你沒有辦法討好所有的人。

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
騙我一次,是你不好。騙我兩次,是我笨。
有點在說人不會從錯誤當中學習。
Fool me once, shame on you. 在這裡fool當動詞,所以指的是騙人的意思。被你騙了一次,你是壞人,所以當然是你不好。你應該感到羞愧。英文Shame on you. 也會常用來罵人,有類似你很丟臉耶的意思。Fool me twice, shame on me. 那我都被你騙一次了還不夠,第二次還被你騙,那這個時候就只能怪我自己笨了,所以是Shame on me! 我很丟臉的意思。

6 多喝水,多吃蔬菜水果:多喝水就會一直跑廁所自然就會多動了啊!冬天不喜歡吃涼的,很容易忘記吃蔬菜水果,話說潔西中午拿火龍果,芭樂,柳丁,跟奇異果當午餐,因為也吃不太下,結果,結果,一個滾下去了,紅色的火龍果!偏偏是紅色沾的到處的那個,擦超久。又今天還被壞掉的刀架櫃門掉下來壓到腳後跟上面的凹進去的地方不知道中文怎麼說,就是穿鞋子腳後面剛好會摩腳的那個地方,痛死了,今天運動還在痛,所以沒走很久。然後在速食店上課,把音檔放出來,iPhone 6 Plus 的音檔放到最大聲實在也是很小聲。然後一個阿伯過來說 Can you do me a favor? 不要放出來不然就用耳機聽,然後就走掉了。當然潔西是理虧,同學就說那他用耳機聽好了,潔西還跟學生說,可惜他沒聽到上次那個把遊戲放超大聲的小孩,沒人敢去念他,誇張的大聲,有人還很大聲的說,哇噻,什麼牌子的手機,可以這麼大聲,潔西也是很好奇。後來發現阿伯其實坐離潔西跟學生很遠,而且話說完人就消失約半個小時左右,潔西覺得阿伯嫌吵是其次,速食店,下午有陣子挺安靜,但是後來蠻吵的,坐得離蠻遠的,他能聽到放出來的音檔對話的聲音耳朵應該算很好,潔西跟學生兩人都還聽不太清楚。而且全程不超過五分鐘。音檔都只有一分鐘左右。不像潔西自己也很受不了那種把手機音樂遊戲對話放出來超大聲一整個車程的那種,潔西也會很想叫他帶耳機,扯很遠,明明是自己不對,不過真的覺得阿伯是想練英文。因為他第一句說 Can you do me a favor? 能不能請你幫我一個忙?但是後面他都用中文說。潔西自己在公車上被一對女生跟外國男生視訊放出來,他們還氣跑一個同公車的男生,潔西跳出來叫他們用耳機聽的時候可是全程英文,叫他們要注意 cell phone etiquette 手機禮儀,哈哈哈。糾察隊自己不守秩序被捉了喔。
people only see what they want to see what they want to believe
somehow the mask is put on automatically when i see a familiar face
a fake smile? no one wants to see a crying face so i have to make my best effort to put up a smile
tired, so tired of everything, tired of explaining again and again to people who will never understand
not sure what i should do
sometimes i’m totally fine. the world isn’t perfect. i don’t have much but still i have family, friends. i have a place to live, i have a job, i have students who love me. i should be content?
emotions are totally out of control. tears just fall down for no reason. the empty feeling after getting together with friends i have no explanation.
nothing tastes good. nothing really makes me happy. day after day, just try to survive another day.
however, all the dark clouds disappear when i have a good day which unfortunately rarely happens. most of these days i get up on the wrong side of the bed and everything goes wrong.
every winter no exception the overwhelming sadness attacks me out of no where. blame on the weather?
nothing matters anymore. nothing bothers me actually. just don’t have the energy to pull myself together.
just like all those things i broke, even if i put every piece of myself together, it’s not the same, it’s still broken.
there are so many things i want to do but i just can’t do it. who would understand this nonsense?
am i too hard on myself or am i not trying hard enough? i’m not sure. if i push myself too hard, i know i wouldn’t like the result.
i guess the saddest thing is that i have no one to talk to about these feelings. everyone has their own problems and there’s really nothing they can do. besides, most of the time most people don’t understand. they judge, instead.
you are weak. you’re too greedy. you’re single, you have a job, and you have a place to stay. a lot of people have to worry about their children, their mortgage . some people don’t even have a place to live, not to say a job.
yeah, yeah, yeah. end of conversation. then they start to tell you how their lives are so much worse than yours.
just let out some feelings so i don’t go crazy. it’s winter. i was thinking that i should comfort my psychologist today when i go see him. poor guy. i bet he has to see much more patients and listens to endless complaints like mine. tough job. guess that’s why his clothes are always so colorful.
too bad i don’t have anything nice to wear to cheer myself up. in no mood for shopping, winter is definitely not my season. can i say that?
enough complaints. time to do what? not sure. make a cup of coffee? perhaps go to the bakery get some cake first? would love to have my own homemade cheese cake but too lazy. should bake some cake and cookies. having some delicious food is something at least i can do for myself. suddenly realize what “comfort food" means. ha ha.
i’m ok. could be better. have to find way to make it better. if i’m not happy then i’ll have to do something to change it. but what? don’t feel like doing anything.
i think i have been too blunt recently. i say what’s really in my mind, which annoys people and i feel bad after saying those things. but what does it make me if i can’t say what’s really in my mind. so difficult to live to be yourself to be honest with yourself.
enough is enough. coffee time

C 現在簡單式 be 動詞
S + V1 : I come from Taipei. 我是台北人。
S + be + …: I am from Taipei. 我是台北人 New Yorker
現在簡單式 Be 的句型: 主詞+Be+名詞/形容詞/介系詞片語
1 肯定句
主詞 + 現在式be動詞 + 名詞/形容詞/介系詞片語
S + am/is/are + noun/adjective/preposition
I am a housewife. 我是家庭主婦。
You/We/They are wrong. 你錯了。
He/She/It is at work. 他在上班。
2 否定句 : 英文句子改否定跟疑問時都需要助動詞,be 本身就是助動詞。所以否定句只要在 be 後面not。is 與 not可以縮寫成 isn’t,are 與 not可以縮寫成 aren’t。但是 am 跟 not 不可以縮寫。
S + am/is/are + not + noun/ adjective / preposition phrase
I am not a secretary. 我不是秘書。
You aren’t busy. 你不忙。
She isn’t in good shape. 她不健康。
3. Yes/No 問句 : 英文句子疑問時要把助動詞放到主詞前面,be本身就是個助動詞。所以yes/no問句只要把be放在主詞前面就可以造問句

Are you worried? 你擔心嗎? Yes, I am. / No, I’m not.
Is she in a good mood? 她心情很好嗎? Yes, she is. / No, she isn’t.
4. WH問句: 英文的疑問詞大致有what, where, when, why, who, how。把WH疑問詞放最前面再放be、主詞與其他部分就可造WH問句。
WH am/is/are + S + ( noun/ adjective / preposition phrase)
Where am I ? 我在哪裡? You are in the hospital. 你在醫院。

上上星期應學生要求教唱的歌 Vincent 文生,(Starry Starry Night 星夜),不知道這首歌就算了,不過居然有人不知道這個人是誰,同學, Vincent van Gogh 文生梵谷是個大畫家,好吧,歌不知道沒關係,名字不知道也沒關係,畫總有看過吧?真的還沒有?那柯南的「業火的向日葵」有看過嗎?文生梵谷最有名的畫作應該就是向日葵跟這首歌的星夜。下面連結有他的畫,歌的 MV 裡也有他的畫作,欣賞一下。
唉,現在也不知道什麼才是常識什麼是知識。剛剛看新聞採訪抗議反對異性戀的人說他們只要在網路上批評同性戀就被說是沒邏輯,說他們被霸凌,不知道新聞記者是不是故意的。網路霸凌或被批評根本就是常態,上 PTT 去看看就知道了啊。
潔西那天走在路上突然想到社交媒體 social media 的最大好處,就是讓潔西知道這個世界上比潔西病得更厲害的人還真的不少。不只是 PTT ,FB,Twitter,Instagram,有些人不知道是反串還是真的無知道令人同情,台灣人的邏輯真的不太好,潔西多年的教學經驗,上PTT的人的神邏輯真的更誇張更多,當然也可能是反串,但是很多時候真的很多人你問他為什麼反對?就是為了反對而反對,贊成也就是因為喜歡,拿不出半點東西來支持自己的論點,喜歡強詞奪理,說不過人家的時候就說人家霸凌你。
傳統就是不能挑戰不能改變的嗎?宗教的一定性在哪裡?不能離婚?大家還不是照離。離了婚就會下地獄嗎?吃素是好的?吃葷就不好嗎?想當年黑人還是奴隸,女人還沒有投票權,這一步步走來,大家要求的也不過是個平等的權利。立法平權之後的歧視 discrimination 不會就此不見,glass ceiling 玻璃天花板,看不見得天花板,用來說無形的障礙,比方說女生的升遷很多時候就硬是比男生慢,racism 種族歧視也不會不見,問題還是存在,但是就像潔西喜歡的 Macklemore and Ryan Lewis 的歌 Same Love 相同的愛裡面唱出來的一樣,至少是個開始。
最後講一個昨天看比賽的笑話,非常有名的電競 LoL 韓國中路選手 Faker 在遊戲中要殺死台灣的上路選手前還先讓他吃完一坨小兵,主播檯笑翻了,笑著說 Faker, didn’t your parents ever teach you not to play with your food? 你爸媽沒教過你不要玩食物嗎?當場潔西笑到肚子痛。有看的人就知道,真超爆笑。外國人的幽默跟台灣人又不一樣。
難怪早上起不來看醫生,本來三十分鐘就可以結束的錄了一個小時四十分鐘是怎麼樣,尤其最後都在跳針,後面有些部分有點口誤,就是看著 A 說 B ,唉,不過前面還有一定水準可以聽一下,不然也可以看一下補充的單字,後面就不用聽了,潔西還不知道怎麼剪影片,恩,大家就不用看最後面念全部發音的地方了,可以去看別支影片,先這樣囉。睡到中午來不及看醫生,聽個影片又過了兩個小時,影片有沒辦法上傳,餓死潔西了,把衣服丟洗衣機後要去覓食了。Have a good day!
