Waiting~~

I have to admit that I'm very lazy to update my blog lately. Although I only got 2 more classes to go, life is still not easy for me. (well, at lease I don't have to get up early anymore~~:p)

My major task now is LOOKING FOR A JOB!!!!!

Everyday since I wake up, the first thing I do is to turn on my laptop, check my email, and search for new job openings. It has become a routine so far, and I started to feel a little depressed because I didn't heard any good news at all for 1 month. I understand that the job market is in a very bad situation right now, and it won't get better any sooner. But I'm going to graduate soon and I have no time and no money wondering around anymore. Please my dear God, give me a job so that I can earn my own living to pay the rent and food.

The other thing I'm waiting for is my dear Richard's visiting. Finally he's coming to see me. After waiting for more than 6 months and being patiently waiting, he will be here in less than 10 days and stay for 2 weeks.

Notice: Not for work, but JUST FOR ME!!!! Oh~~~I'm flattered~~~ *^___^*

No big news from school, just some boring assignments and quizzes to do every week. I'll be out of this in 3 weeks. No more schools in the near future. I'm Done!!!

Got a name card from my German tutor's friend, Simon. He works in Deloitte and he would be glad to refer me to his company. So I better revise my resume and send it to him as soon as possible. Also Jerry, my senior in AIESEC, who works in Deutsch Bank in HK, is also willing to help me pass my resume to his colleague. I really have to make it work!!!

Fighting!!! :D

Lately~~

I've been pretty busy these days, showing my high school classmate, Yoyo, around the city and the bay area. She arrived last Friday evening. We had some food at my neighbor's(Christopher) place in the evening and then we went out for some coffee and snacks at a nice Italian restaurant later that night.

Saturday, we went to another famous street called Chestnut St. for cafes and shopping close to the ocean. After having some nice lunch, we walked all the way from the Marina area to the Golden Gate Bridge. That was a nice sunny day, but the wind at the beach was just freezing...both of us were so cold and tired after a 3 hours walk along the beach. When we got home, we could barely move our bodies and could only lay down on the floor in my room...we didn't go out that night but only stayed at home, watching some random movies showed on TV and doing some facial mask. Well, beauty time~~~

Sunday, it was cloudy in SF so we decided to go south to Palo Alto for some sun shine. It was a great decision because the weather there was just good enough to take a walk in Stanford University and in Downtown Palo Alto. We had lunch at an Italian restaurant there and it was the the soccer game for Italy and Spain~~Oh well, the Italian went home eventually....We also met my friend Sheryl and had some afternoon tea and dinner together. Girls talk time~~ We caught the last Caltrain back to SF and being frozen again by the weather in the city.....

Monday, we went to the Fisherman's Wharf. It was crazily cold there!!!! I haven't been to that place since my father's visiting...We were at the famous Pier 39 and were watching some street show from the 2nd floor deck. There was a guy standing next to me and he said that the performer was playing the same trick before he went into a restaurant. I thought he was from the U.K. because he got the British accent. But then he introduced himself, saying he's from Köln, Germany!!! Yoyo and I were so surprised that I could bump into Germans anytime....that tell us: 1. there are Germans everywhere; 2. I'm appealed to the Germans. haha~~ :-)

Anyway, that guy was just a tourist and I tried to practice my German with him. But not much though. Since that day was cold and I had class from 5-9pm, we headed back to downtown earlier. I asked Christopher to take care of Yoyo and then I went to the first class for this final semester. The new professor was quite nice and he's working in a private equity firm. He knows a lot about the practical things instead of only academic stuff. I think this class will be fun.(well, also need some work though~~)

After I got out of my class at 9pm. I went home and found Yoyo was at Christopher's place making pizza. I was hungry so I went there to grab some pizza. Christopher also played some guitar music for us while we were waiting for the pizza. 11pm, Yoyo, Christopher, his roommate(John), and me went to Castro(the gay district) to meet with my tutor and his boyfriend. Because the law for gay marriage in California has just passed, Castro is totally crazy at night recently. We went to the gay bar which I went last time and being hit on by some other gay guy. It was quite crowded in the dancing pool, but we still had lots of fun there until 1am. Yoyo, Christopher, and I left and John said he would like to stay longer. (Oh well, I guess he's also a gay...) We got home at around 1:30am and went to bed at 2:30am. I was exhausted....

Tuesday, we got up around 10am and Yoyo began to pack. Her flight was at 1:30am Wednesday. After she has done the packing, we walked to the Golden Gate Park from my house. Yoyo's Taiwanese friend Johnny drove from San Jose to meet with us. We then went to Sausalito. It was warm there, with nice sunshine. But when we got back to the city, it became cold again. I really don't like this!! This kind of weather gives me a headache...it's already the end of June and it's still only 12 degree!! When can I wear some summer outfit??

Whatever, Johnny drove us to some famous spots for Yoyo to take pictures. Then we went back home to an Ethiopia restaurant near my apartment. That was very special food and we don't have that in Taiwan.

We walked home with extremely full bellies and had some hot tea. Then we helped Yoyo to get all the luggages onto the car. Johnny drove her to the Airport. Then my tour guide trip in SF finished.

Yesterday, I went to the German Counselor with my tutor and his boyfriend to watch the soccer game. Yes, all Germans in the room, only me and my tutor's bf are Asian...the live game has faced some technical problems so we missed the second goal of Germany. But they won at the last minute anyway. hehe. GoGoGo!! Germany~

After the game, we had some lunch and they drove me to my class. Another afternoon class. The teacher is nice and we've had his class before. We'll have to do a project for this class but it's a group project. It will not be too hard but will be fun.

Finally, I got home from class, cleaning my room, doing some laundry, and resting. I slept until 11am today. Watched some episodes and a movie. Relaxing life eventually started!!! ^_^

Save me from Myself--by Christina Aguilera

Just heard this song today and found it very touching. Share it with you all.

Save me from Myself--by Christina Aguilera


It's not so easy loving me
It gets so complicated
All the things you gotta be
Everything's changing
But you're the truth
I'm amazed by all your patience
Everything I put you through

And when I'm about to fall
Somehow you're always waiting with
Your open arms to catch me
You're gonna save me from myself
From myself, yes
You're gonna save me from myself

My love is tainted by your touch
Well some guys have shown me aces
But you've got that royal flush
I know it's crazy everyday
Well tomorrow maybe shaky
But you never turn away

Don't ask me why I'm crying
'Cause when I start to crumble
You know how to keep me smiling
You always save me from myself
From myself, myself
You're gonna save me from myself

I know it's hard, it's hard
But you've broken all my walls
You've been my strength, so strong
And don't ask me why I love you

It's obvious your tenderness
Is what I need to make me
A better woman to myself
To myself, myself
You're gonna save me from myself

再見吧,我的男孩

Dolphin傳給我的網站,是個很感人的故事。
故事中的A先生在養了12年的小孩之後,才發現孩子不是他的親生骨肉,於是找上律師蘇兒真。
是律師也是歌手的蘇兒真從委託人的故事裡,得到了靈感,並創作出這首歌:再見吧,我的男孩。

有興趣知道故事的朋友,從下面的連結去看吧~
先看故事再聽歌,很有感覺喔!(哭點很低的朋友們要小心了!)

丈夫的眼淚 by 嚴長壽



★僅以此文為四川災民祈福!

九二一大地震過後,我到災區去做了幾次演講,除了談到如何重新包裝南投,振興當地的觀光產業外。最重要的是,我覺得發生這樣的災難,人們最需要的是關懷,所以我想去跟災民們站在一起,鼓舞他們。

演講之後,有一位災區母親寫信給我,她說因為聽了我的演講,所以想看我的書,她去書店找到了,但站在那裡卻猶豫了。
一隻手捧著書看,一隻手在口袋中掙扎著,那裡是一家人的生活費,買書是多麼奢侈的浪費。一次一次她走進書店,站著閱讀,然後離開,最後才靠著每日省下的一點點菜錢,終於買了書。
(很久以後,新聞報導某家百貨公司門前,有一群為了搶買名牌包包的民眾竟然打架、踐踏,甚至送醫。我突然想起在台灣地理中心曾經有一位母親,面對著殘破家園,她在生活糧食與精神糧食之間,躊躇又徘徊的身影……)

她寫給我的信,字跡清秀,工工整整,足足有六七頁長,說著她自己的故事。
她說她先生是農專畢業的,她自己則是高中畢業,還有一雙兒女,一起經營家裡留下來的茶園,生活恬淡平實,不忮不求,她以為,生命應該會這樣好好的走下去。沒想到夜裡的一場天搖地動,震碎了一切。
她的房子全垮了,茶園灌溉用的水塔也倒了,更不堪的是整片茶園橫切裂開來一個地縫,一切都完了。

什麼都沒有了。

不 得已,他們只好到臨時搭建的組合屋住了半年。之後,政府撥放補助,於是他們想回到原來的地方從頭做起,重新再來。但當時補助錢不多,他們必須貸款,再跟朋 友借了一些錢,才把房子蓋起來。原本在餐旅學校讀書的女兒,很懂事,因為經濟因素休學,到溪頭的米堤飯店打工,多少補貼一些家用。

心傷仍在,但他們很努力的一點一點縫合。正當一切似乎都有了新的希望,沒想到地震的餘悸猶存,颱風又來了。

二○○一年的桃芝颱風,從花蓮秀姑巒溪登陸,橫掃花蓮後,越過中央山脈,一路撲向南投。連續六個小時的豪大雨,引發嚴重的土石流,瞬間吞沒了屋瓦房舍、農田林地,帶走兩百多條人命。

又是一夕之間,女兒打工的米堤飯店被巨大的土石流淹沒,接著他們重新蓋好的家又垮了。

重建家園的夢又破了、碎了。什麼又都沒了,還留下債務。

那天清晨,她看見她先生站在已經傾倒的家的後院。一個大男人眼淚一直掉一直掉,然後自己擦眼淚,手一擦,眼淚又掉了更多……。

她在信中說,作為他的妻子,我真的不知道該怎麼安慰他。她說:「總裁,可不可以請你幫我寫封信給我先生,給他一些鼓勵。」

這封信看得我熱淚盈眶,立刻就寫了回信。
我跟她的先生說:你或許是一個非常不幸的人,失去了家,失去了事業,失去了許多有形的財產,但是我卻也看到了你擁有許多有錢有勢的人都得不到的富有。
你擁有這樣一個懂事的女兒,願意為了家庭放棄學業;你更有一位這麼體貼的妻子,她如此關心你的感覺,深怕你無力振作,希望我來鼓勵你,希望帶給你希望與力量。

面對命運那樣無情摧殘的這對夫婦,我的信多麼卑微。

我們落榜、我們失戀,我們被上司構陷、被同儕排擠,我們志不得伸、我們一分努力得不到一分收穫,我們頹廢了、就要放棄了。但是我們不曾想過,有一家人被命運 的手操弄著,在黑暗中連續兩次把根都拔除,那樣的挫折如何承受?就連對他們敞開心肺大喊一聲加油,都會被淹沒在滾滾的巨流中。

我只能盡我的力量有時間便寫信,看到國外好的茶葉產品就寄給他們參考。
我沒有想像到的是,幾年的光陰過去,這家人展現了驚人的韌性,他們不但又一次重建了家園,也重建了茶園。在裂縫的土地上,長出了向陽的新茶。
不時我會收到他們寄來新採成的茶葉,這家人正朝著精緻產品的方向努力。沏一壺茶,一心二葉在滾燙的水中緩緩舒展,我的心又一次熱了起來。
他們一定不知道,他們是我心目中的天使。

New Job!!

YES~I got a new temp job at school. It's the law school final exam proctor. Sounds ridiculous, right? But it's true!! They need proctors to help them out during the final exams weeks. So, this week I'll be busy proctoring at school.

It's not a hard job, in contrast, it's quite easy. After I distribute the exam sheets to the students, I can just sit there and do my own thing. It's like I get paid to study in the room!!! How Nice~~ And today, I saw my roommate, Paul, was sitting there struggling for the exam......I understand that kind of feelings...XD

Well, I just want to get this job to help me with the application of social security number. It will be easier for me to get a REAL job later on once I get the SSN.

Anyway~it's May already...The finals have just ended and the new semester has begun. The big thing that is coming up is the CFA exam. Have to get my gear on it!! Really need to pass it this time, or I think I would never do it again......this is such a pain....

Richard baby may visit me soon. So happy~~~YEAH~~

One Year!!

(這是閃光文~沒戴墨鏡不要讀喔~呵呵~)



It has been 1 year~ since we first met in Boston. I am glad that I went to Renata's birthday party, so that I could meet you there.

It was a great year being with you. And I hope we can be together soon after I graduate from school. We've been apart for so long and I know it's not easy for both you and me.

I would like to thank you for the company for the past 12 months. I'm so happy to have you with me. With your care and love, I can move forward with no doubt, because I know you'll always be supportive behind me.

Thank you so much.

Ich liebe dich.


一年了,好快!回想剛見面的情形,到現在都還記憶猶新。要不是去參加了好友的生日趴,就不會認識我家帥氣的理察王子。

這一年其實我們真是聚少離多,真的是很辛苦的遠距離戀愛。但是,也因為有他的陪伴跟支持,我才能一直有動力去面對未來的挑戰,也能夠無後顧之憂的一路往前。對我來說,他是除了家人之外,最重要的人了。如果一切順利的話,希望畢業後我就能跟他在一起,不用真的住在一起,但至少不要再分隔半個地球了!

一年快樂!*^__^* (灑花~~~)

Cute Houses

I was watching TV during lunch time. The program "Euromaxx" from DW-TV was introducing a series of cute housing in Europe. These 2 are my favorite ones:

http://www.loftcube.net/

This is the Loftcube. It's in Berlin. Not only the style is very simple and neat, but you can build it everywhere you want(technically...). Moreover, you can move it to where you want by renting a helicopter to hang it in the air!!! You can stay in the house while the helicopter moves your loftcube, just like having a bird's eye view tour from your own house through the trip. Amazing~~ I want one!!!


And here is another interesting house in Switzerland(near Zurich, I think...), called Earth Houses

http://www.erdhaus.ch/main.php?fla=y&lang=en&cont=start

There are several projects going on in different places. It's stylish and energy efficient. I have a feeling that it looks like Shire (The Hobbits' residences in The Lord of The Ring movie) when I first saw it. You can live within a community or be isolated in your own villa, just depends on what you need. Cool housing~~

I like them both. For me, the Loftcube is suitable for a single, and the Earth House is perfect for a family. Different usage. :)

What do you think??

Prisoner of Love--Utada Hikaru

最近在聽的歌
就是這首啦
因為是春季日劇Last Friend的片頭曲
我才看了第一集
就愛上這首歌了
一整個好聽到爆炸
戲當然也是很好看
但是一個禮拜才演一集
簡直是要我命
所以我還是乖乖的等候一陣子好了
上野樹理太可愛太帥氣啦>///< 點連結可以聽歌喔

Prisoner of Love - 宇多田ヒカル


I'm a prisoner of love
prisoner of love
just a prisoner of love
I'm just a prisoner of love
a prisoner of love

平気な颜で嘘をついて
笑って 嫌気がさして
楽ばかりしようとしていた

ないものねだりブルース
皆安らぎを求めている
満ち足りてるのに夺い合う
爱の影を追っている

退屈な毎日が急に辉きだした
あなたが现れたあの日から
孤独でも辛くても平気だと思えた
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

病める时も健やかなる时も
岚の日も晴れの日も共に歩もう

I'm gonna tell you the truth
人知れず辛い道を选ぶ
私を応援してくれる
あなただけを友と呼ぶ

强がりや欲张りが无意味になりました
あなたに爱されたあの日から
自由でもヨユウでも一人じゃ虚しいわ
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Oh もう少しだよ
Don't you give up
Oh 见舍てない 绝対に

残酷な现実が二人を引き裂けば
より一层强く惹かれ合う
いくらでもいくらでも顽张れる気がした
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

ありふれた日常が急に辉きだした
心を夺われたあの日から
孤独でも辛くても平気だと思えた
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Stay with me, stay with me
My baby, say you love me
Stay with me, stay with me
一人にさせない



I'm a prisoner of love
prisoner of love
just a prisoner of love
I'm just a prisoner of love
a prisoner of love

裝著一副沒事的表情說謊
嘻嘻哈哈 露出厭煩的模樣
想的儘是輕鬆簡單的事

強求自己所沒有的而憂鬱
每個人都在追求安逸
明明足夠了卻相互爭奪
追逐愛的影子

索然無趣的日子突然開始閃耀起來
從你出現的那一天起
儘管孤獨痛苦也覺得不在乎
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

不管病痛的時候或健康的時候
就算暴風天或晴天也要一起走下去

I'm gonna tell you the truth
選擇了無人瞭解的坎坷道路
決定把一直為我加油的你
當作真正的朋友

倔強或奢求全部變得毫無意義
從被你深愛的那一天起
自由也好從容也好一個人實在太空虛
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Oh 就差一點點了
Don't you give up
Oh 別眼睜睜放棄 絕對不要

殘酷的現實愈是拆散兩人
愈是會更強烈地吸引彼此
感覺再怎麼樣也可以努力下去
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

稀鬆平常的生活突然開始閃耀起來
從心被奪走的那一天起
儘管孤獨痛苦也覺得不在乎
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Stay with me, stay with me
My baby, say you love me
Stay with me, Stay with me
不會讓你孤獨一人

30 歲後,談一場大人的戀愛

出處:
http://www.books.com.tw/magazine/2006cmg/chealth/200605/page03.htm

30 歲後,談一場大人的戀愛

不是 17 歲的夢幻,也不是 27 歲急著結婚的功利, 30 歲以後的戀愛,是完全屬於自己的靈魂之愛。

文.朱芷君 攝影.邱瑞金

曾接觸過某著名婚友社的公關企劃,她一直不忘提醒,「年輕貌美」是女生找對象最大的本錢,學歷、工作是其次, 30 歲以前一定要嫁掉,想辦法在拉警報之前把自己推銷出去,否則前途堪慮。

對女生來說, 30 歲就像預告青春的結束,被分類到熟女一族:專櫃小姐會大力跟你推銷抗老產品、經常碰到自認熱心人士的鞭策提醒「眼光不要太高」、「再挑小心嫁不出去」。

雖然飽受刻板印象的束縛,其實這些內外兼備的大人之女,幾乎都經濟獨立、個性成熟、懂得過日子,而且因為善加保養,比起同齡男人禿頭凸肚子,她們才正擁有屬於自己的美麗。 只因年過 30 ,就該戀愛機率渺茫嗎?

從夢幻到現實

知名主持人及作家吳淡如受訪前先講了一個笑話:有人告訴 3 個女生有個未婚男性條件不錯, 18 歲的女生問:「他長得怎樣,英俊嗎?」, 28 歲的女生問:「他是什麼職業,有錢嗎?」 38 歲的女人則問:「他在哪裡?」

「年紀愈大,的確會碰到選擇機會變少的問題,但這不是件壞事,」笑完後吳淡如正色道,因為量少品質可能更精良,而且「選擇少你才會選擇自己,看見自己的價值,」她指出,寧缺毋濫是這一代大人之女該有的堅持。

「我們媽媽那一代是寧濫毋缺,」吳淡如說,當時女人沒有經濟能力,如果 30 歲沒結婚,大概會被當成過期的泡麵,被認為只能嫁給「離婚有 3 個小孩」或者「父母中風在家需要人服侍」的男人。

而現代女性一個人也可以過快樂日子,如果介紹一個樣樣不如她的男生,「女人會自問,他能帶給我什麼?為什麼要跟他在一起?難道我是要『找歹命』嗎?」吳淡如觀察,對大人之女來說,如果不幸福快樂寧可不結婚、不談戀愛,「已經不是想為誰犧牲付出的世代。」

因此大人之女希望對方具備的,也不再是錢財、長相等炫耀用的條件,「而是一起生活、處得來的人,」吳淡如認為,大人之女不希望結了婚人生就停滯不前,「她們還是希望可以成長。」

「二十幾歲時比較夢幻,希望符合自己的理想條件,」從事網路工作的 Alice 承認,她 34 歲遇見現在老公, 3 個月就步入禮堂,已經結婚五年多,「三十幾歲就實際很多,知道婚姻裡很多柴米油鹽,溝通體諒更重要。」

她先生是看藝術表演會睡著的人,年輕時 Alice 會無法忍受,過了 30 歲比較成熟,「不會那麼自我中心,」 Alice 說,雖然能遇到一個不錯的人是幸運,但也因為不像年輕時任性苛求,才懂得把握。

愛自己才能愛他

這一代大人之女已經有更多人生選擇,但在強大的社會壓力之下,很難不介意別人商品化的眼光,擔心自己人老珠黃、乏人問津。

「 30 的確是個關卡,」吳淡如不諱言,她身邊不少大人之女自信十足,對愛情也很有衝勁,卻也有人受年齡限制而自閉,「但突破了以後你會發現海闊天空,人生不該為別人的要求而活,」她指出,就因為青春有限,反而更想妥善利用。

她以自己為例,「年輕時追我的大部份都是爛男人,」她表示,二十幾歲時會扭曲自己的個性,覺得要溫柔、小鳥依人,而且「我那時崇拜的是才華洋溢,說得天花亂墜,會開 BMW 來接我的人,」她笑說。

她形容 30 歲之前戀愛是削足適履,隱藏自己以合乎對方的要求, 30 之後豁出去,用本來面目戀愛,反而都遇見好男人,「他們對事業有堅持,願意平等溝通,尊重你有自己的天空,肯定你的夢想,」吳淡如認為,「假裝」,只能吸引不適合的人。

她和先生在 28 、 29 歲時就認識,開始時只是朋友,「他說我那時散發著『遠離我吧』的孤僻,」吳淡如也沒想到要跟他交往。

而 30 歲之後,她慢慢看見自己的個性,選擇對象也變得腳踏實地,雖然先生是正常上班族,沒像之前男友有錢有才華,卻接受吳淡如本來的樣子,不會要她改變來成全自己,是可以「在暴風雨中互相扶持」的伴侶,「他說我比以前可愛多了,」吳淡如說。

「把自己調整好,對的人就會出現,」廣告創意人及作家李欣頻相信,準備好的定義是好好愛自己,把自己變成獨立的輪子而非缺角的圓,「這樣才能找到健全的人,完整的愛情。」

35 歲的李欣頻,曾經是個為愛瘋狂的人,在遇到現任男友之前好幾年沒有對象,每個算命的都說明年,桃花密招什麼都做了。去西藏旅行時還每天求佛陀給她真命天子,求了 16 天看佛陀在笑就死心了,「覺得有這麼完美的男人在你面前還求什麼?」她領悟。

她下定決心這輩子不要戀愛結婚了,回歸自我,工作、財務統統都規劃好,因為之前看了不少奧修的書,便到印度奧修社區體驗靈修(她打算一輩子過單身優雅的靈修生活),卻居然遇到現任男友。

「我 旅行三十多個國家從來沒有豔遇,」李欣頻說,她與男友各方面都很契合,可說是靈魂伴侶,卻沒有一個算命預言到他,更令她相信,自己運轉得好時,「別人就會 被你吸引,戀愛想擋都擋不了,」她表示,一直在意「沒有」、得失心太重,只會創造殘缺的磁場,「別人躲你都來不及。」

「真 的不要急,」她提醒,有別於婆婆媽媽來者不拒的相親理論,李欣頻反而建議沒對象的大人之女,先假設一輩子會單身,準備好的居家空間、餘暇生活、理財計劃 等,讓自己不靠任何人都能過得愉快,「你就會散發自信,而不是灰頭土臉像花癡,」她認為,愈急愈會找到不好的,害怕寂寞湊在一起只會互相折磨。

笑說過去失戀會想死,現在則認真自我成長,愛情只是人生一部份,「我像一艘船,照著自己的航線走,愛情則是行進中伴隨的風,是小小的助力,吹起來很舒服,」她比喻,風也有他的路徑,沒有誰綁誰,「反而愛情一直在。」

「 Always keep walking, don't stop for anyone, 」李欣頻說,有緣的人會跟你走,無緣則另會有其他人在前面等你,如果自己不能幸福快樂,「別人也給不了你。」

眾裡尋他千百度

看起來, 30 歲之後還是能遇到對的人,足以振奮人心,但如果拿吳淡如的好男人標準來看,不管單身女人是 20 、 30 、 40 ,都還是會怨嘆,茫茫人海,這樣的好男人要去哪裡找?

「我 覺得大家都忘了看自己耶,」知名節目主持人陶晶瑩拿買牛仔褲的經驗為例,她一直以為自己是 A size ,常常找不到適合的牛仔褲,覺得牛仔褲一定是殘害女性最恐怖的發明,有一天她改穿 B size ,「突然發現,這麼多年我竟然不願意承認適合穿 B size ,只想擠進 A size ,自己為難自己。」

「找不到真命天子是人家不夠好還是自己不夠好?有沒有試著想跟別人共處,或者只等著別人配合你,」陶晶瑩認為,一旦改變心態,不再自我設限,「你會發現什麼都可以穿、什麼人都可以碰到,」她的精神就是勇往直前,「我很喜歡談戀愛,我就會自己去找呀!」

「一 定有好男人,只是你的視力還沒到看得見的位置,」李欣頻比喻,假設好男人在 5 樓,自己在 1 樓,可能只看得到地下室的男人,「所以要努力往上走,」她指出,每個人都有真心想完成的事,做到很快樂,就能提升自己的品質,「到山頂你就會看到其他山 頭,一直停在山腳下只會看到路邊攤跟垃圾堆。」

並且,「要主動一點才行,」吳淡如認為現 在好男人比女人更怕被拒絕,大人之女要懂得給暗示甚至明示。她有個朋友約會開車去載男生,「不知怎麼車子被她弄拋錨了,她就和那個男生坐計程車去找他的機 車,男生再載她回家,然後請對方上來喝杯咖啡,」吳淡如笑著描述,「這個女生的男朋友都是自己追來的,而且都比她年輕、外在條件比她好。」

「如果真想碰到好男人,你就要不斷去戀愛,」陶晶瑩以為,愛情還是有運氣的成分,不要被傳統觀念設限,只要不是腳踏兩條船,欺騙別人,多談戀愛,「就當作是增廣見聞也很好啊,考慮太多,幸福就被你的猶豫給蹉跎了。」

你可以學吳淡如的理性,李欣頻的靈性和陶晶瑩的率性,但戀愛畢竟不能紙上談兵。

大人之女不是跳樓大拍賣的清倉貨,只能苦等路人垂憐,要相信你所累積的一切,足以選你所愛。別再看純愛劇呼喊愛情,去找一個活生生的人,讓你墜入情網。
