Colors



Halloween decoration is everywhere in this season and it's full of orange. Though I try to get myself involved in, taking pictures about Halloween in any window display/ restaurants--I enjoy it indeed, this holiday doesn't mean a lot for me and sadly I'll have a class and a big teaching presentation at that night. Actually, I've already started to expect Thanksgiving and Christmas. Are there any special colors for those days? They must have ones!! Like red & green on Christmas. I'm waiting. I'm waiting and looking for anything special which is fresh for me who has lived here for more than 2 months but still curious everything/anything. It makes me think that I'm one of the people on a NYC tour bus, watching everything/anyone on the street.

It was a special experience that I met a guy on my way to buy pumpkins. That guy was eating an apple and asking me to take one picture for me. At first, I wondered would he just grab my camera and run away. I'm so kind that I accepted it and I thought it's good sb volunteered taking me picture in this beautiful afternoon when I was alone. WHY NOT? Alright. He didn't take my camera away, but we went to a concert in the church together. An ensemble was really terrific that musicians stood different spots in the room. I can only recognize some musical instrument like a flute, violin and trumpet, but I love that ensemble! Then, we had short conversation during the performance. What a coincidence, he studies at City College as well but it's in downtown (different than mine--uptown). At first, I didn't believe he was at the same school as mine until he showed me his student ID. Anything is possible in a foreign country!!! Outside the church, a mother and a boy were selling toys for Halloween. As I walked on the street with miniskirt, I noticed it was chilly but I liked it.

Watching trees on the way to school, sometimes it's emotional, sometimes it's joyful.I would like to keep sth in memory of NY so I decide to collect leaves here. I'm sensitive in colors & relationships in a society, especially a specific person & specific situation represent an unique color for me. In semantics, it said there are only 11 basic colors in the world. People can create various colors but they don't provide them names. What color/colors can describe me? Am I the unique color in sb's mind??

Though it's late, it's a good reply.

四格漫畫的比喻
淘氣阿丹: (正在啃著芹菜...)
阿丹媽: 你不是不喜歡吃芹菜嗎??
淘氣阿丹: 我突然發覺很喜歡咀嚼芹菜的感覺
阿丹媽轉身離去,留下啃芹菜陶醉的阿丹....

maybe I do

I'm really glad and surprised u call me from Japan. You asked me these simple questions: how are u? how's school? how's going with ur boyfriend? do u miss ur family?
I can't give u appropriate answers cuz ur my friend who are not like friends here, we would greet to each other by using"how are u ?" but it doesn't mean a lot indeed. I can't remember that did I ask u in reply? After hanging it up, I think I miss my family and friends in Taiwan now.....
