Another surprise for me / 我入圍2006年第二屆全球華文部落格生命紀錄類決賽

最近生活裡發生了一連串的偶然，不免覺得自己真是幸運。上個月不知怎麼地看到中時的部落格大賽，一時興起，把表格填一填，送出之後，便把整件事拋諸腦後。事隔數週，收到入選決賽的通知，還真是一陣驚喜。

雖然我叛逆的基因直懇求，請我不要用老掉牙的感謝稿，但是我想不出來更有新意的方式。小房間，讓我對夢想的追求更義無反顧；寄出的明信片，紛紛抵達收件者的心底；我平凡的生命因而充滿了期待和希望。我不是信徒，但我要謝謝上帝，我自己，還有，一直回來的你。

There have been a chain of "hasards ou coincidences" in my banal life lately. I can't but exclaim that the goddess of Fortune really smiles upon me. Last month, I happened to see this Chinese blog contest held by Chinatimes (newspaper). It occurred to me that I should fill out the form. After I sent it out, I totally left it behind.

Since I started the little room, I've been even firmer about my dream, which is to become an illustrator. And I believe the postcards I make have reached your hearts at one point or another. My ordinary life is thus full of expectations and hope. I am not a religious person, but I want to thank God, myself, and you, who keep coming back to my little room...
