unstoppable / 停不了
今天在電梯裡和你胡鬧時，你居然說：「妳不要再玩了。」然後你又說，你不好意思和別人說，你自認為帥垃圾車阿伯，因為你知道別人會笑。Today when I was being stupid with you in the elevator, you surprised me by saying, "Stop playing!" Then you told me, you are shy to tell others that you are the dashing truck man because you know others will laugh at you.
儘管我不願意，你以一種停不了的速度，長大‧‧‧
Despite my unwillingness to admit, you are growing up, at an unstoppable speed...

origin of joy / 幸福感的來源
「不生病的生活」說，每天如果都能有幸福感，即使是生病的人，也不會輕易被擊倒，所以我很努力地蒐集令我感到幸福的事物。In the book Life without Illness, the author says, if we feel a sense of joy every day, even those who are seriously ill won't be defeated. Then it occurs to me to collect the little joy that makes my day.
這個星期收到Caterina從義大利寄來的手繪信書和eL從馬來西亞寄來的個人詩集，這是我從來沒見過的兩個人，他們卻想到在地球上另一端的我，我想，我惱人的腸胃病就快要好了‧‧‧
This week I received a book of hand-drawn letters by Gio Ponti from Caterina in Italy and a book of poetry by eL from Malaysia. I have never met them in person, yet that doesn't stop them from thinking of me, who live so far away from them. I havea feeling that my annoying intestine problem is about to surrender...

the bird's eye view / 鳥瞰
人生好像走到某一陣子，就會有種灰頭土臉的感覺，這是我最近的寫照。我需要清明的視野，於是我想到2007年好不容易把義大利系列往下做到第五回，雖然計畫中的故事還沒結束，但是已經達到我要的心境，不如拿出來複習，並且鼓勵一下自己。
In life, I am struck by bouts of unidentified blues from time to time. This is typical of my present moment. I need a clear vision, not tainted by personal prejudice or feeling. It occurred to me to turn to my Italy series done in 2007. I did go on to chapter 5 then. Though I didn't finish the story as planned, this last chapter felt like an ending to the story. I may as well review the episode as a form of self-encouragement.
"Honey, why do you insist on traveling?"
"Let's put it this way: When I set out, I am so exhausted that I can't see myself."
"After traveling for a while, I finally see my light."
"Then, I can turn to you and enjoy every moment we share together."
"Gradually, I retrieve my keen sensitivity. I can capture the beauty of passers-by."
"When I am in superb shape, I can even bear in mind the images of still lifes."
"On seeing the animals, I can't help imitating their ways of life."
"In the end, my heart will grow to be as big as the ocean. Then I know, I can face the challenges again."
"Do you understand the meaning of travel?"
