Lovely Corner / 幸福的一隅

上個週末在回家路上,偶然經過建國南路,因為受到五顏六色的吸引,我也隨著人群走進花市。雖然花季已落幕,這裡的花依然艷麗綻放,令人心情為之一振。

Last weekend on my way home, I passed by the flower market on Chien-kuo South Road. I couldn't resist the temptation of gorgeous flowers, so I drifted in with the huge crowds. Though the flower season was over, the flowers here bloom as ever. It was impossible not to feel cheered up.

花的種類形形色色,從入口到出口,花市的長廊似乎沒有盡頭,人潮和花朵都讓我感受到強烈的生命力。

There are a wide variety of colors. There seems to be no end for the long corridor of flowers. I was moved by the strong vitality of people and flowers.

因為花朵,就算是再平凡的人們也變得美麗。我捕捉到幾個瞬間的鏡頭,女孩緊緊地抱著新採購的盆栽,我看到了想要好好照顧生命的承諾。

Because of flowers, even ordinary-looking people radiate with sincere beauty. I captured some momentary scenes. The girl held tight her newly-bought plant. I felt the strong commitment to take good care of life.

溫柔的女生在花攤前慢慢地選購心儀的花朵,她的一顰一笑都值得紀錄下來。

The elegant lady took her time in front of the flower stand to choose flowers. Her every move and smile was worth recording.

我則很開心住在這個城市裡。

As for me, I felt very lucky to live in such a place...

Crazy Olivia 29 / 瘋狂奧莉薇 29

「哼!那些比基尼美女會邊滑水邊跳繩嗎?」奧莉薇使出渾身解數就為了替自己爭一口氣。

"Hmm! Do the bikini girls know how to surf and skip ropes at the same time?" Olivia does all her best simply to show to Mr. Sea Dragon how good she is.

奧莉薇再也無法保持理性。她把身上的潛水衣隨手一脫,「真是氣死我了!你看,我也是很有本錢的!」

Olivia can't keep calm anymore. She takes off the diving suit right away. "Oh my God, I am SO pissed off! See? I've got everything too!"

To Olivia's SURPRISE, it's the three sexy gals in bikini that he's after. The word "heart-broken" can't describe even 1/1000 of Olivia's sadness.

奧莉薇暗自想:「這可是人生大好機會啊!如果我來個英雄救美,說不定可以贏得『海中蛟龍』的芳心!」

Olivia thinks to herself, "This is a rare opportunity in life! If I save Mr. Sea Dragon, maybe I can win his heart!"

「海中蛟龍」因為過度受驚嚇,已昏迷不醒,他躺在沙灘上孤獨的身影,特別令人不捨。

Mr. Sea Dragon passes out due to the great shock. He lies there on the beach, all by himself, unconscious. It hurts to see him like that.

Beautiful island

This week I've done some traveling, with my imagination. In the meanwhile, my new friends are curious about the island I live in. As you know, I am not a boring person and it follows that my island should be equally interesting.

Here are some of my favorite photos taken with love, arranged in the order from north to south Taiwan. Come take a trip too! I assure that you won't feel like going back to real life. Well, at least it's so in my case:-).
