原本以為人生最後一個暑假要在工作中度過了，沒想到在六月底突然的離職。計畫果真趕不上變化，而情緒卻能輕易的改變計畫。雖然並不是真的這麼一回事，但總覺得賺到了一個假期，甚至有種失而復得的感覺。這次我並不像以往擁有雄心壯志計畫很多暑期要做的事，反而隨心所欲的任時間流逝，這個夏天不算充實，卻很真實，甚至有點現實。
必須承認離職這件事對我造成情緒上很大的影響，自七月開始我失眠得很多。有一陣子甚至整晚都沒能睡著，那陣子最常做的事就是清晨五點時起床，到頂樓等著日出，以前我幾乎沒有看過日出，不過這應該也不算什麼日出，也許就是陽光慢慢滲透黑夜的痕跡吧。
I thought the last summer vacation in my life would be miserable because I was originally planning to work during my whole vacation. Well, anything happens, I quit my job in the late of June. Instead of planning a lot of summer-to-do-list, this time, I just let it go with the flow. The only problem was that I had difficulty falling asleep, I've tried many different ways to calm down and sleep, but they didn't work. So sitting at the attic and watching the sunrise was quite usual recently in my life.
七月十六 / July 16th
7/16是翁子的生日，去年夏天我在土耳其、她在比利時，其他朋友也都各奔東西無法一起過生日。今年的這一天，我們終於又在一起了。翁子是我的高中、大學同班同學，我們是完全不同的兩個人，可是卻一起經歷幾乎整個大學生活。這應該就是所謂的互補吧，我的軟弱她的堅強、我內向她活潑、我猶豫不決她勇往直前、我謹言慎行她不拘小節，這些所有的事都讓我在她身上學習到很多很多。不會忘記這世界上最會逼我面對現實的妳，不會忘記相約發呆渡過的整個夏天，不會忘記忍受我的強迫症控制狂的妳，不會忘記一起躺在床上哭泣的五月，更不會忘記曾經教會我整個宇宙之語最重要的部分的所有的妳。
16th of July was the birthday of my friend, Wong. We didn't celebrate last year cuz I was in Turkey and she was in Belgium. And for this year, all of us were together. She is really an incredible human being and always light up the room with her optimistic spirit. Me and Wong are just so different, but we spent nearly all our university life together. She's extroverted and I'm introverted, she goes fearlessly in the direction of her dream, and I'm kind of losing the way in my life, she always be herself, and I'm still wondering who I am. I've learned so much from her, and I'll never forget how she encourages me in everything, the-doing-nothing-summer, our crying May and the most important language she taught me - Love.
七月二十二日 / July 22ed
七月中回台中待了一陣子，也終於有機會趁大姐出國之前，全家人一起旅行。今年的地點依然和兩年前一樣是武陵農場。我們全家人都喜歡運動和大自然，所以外出遊玩的地點總是這類型。兩年前在這裡看過最美的星空，從左手指尖延伸到頭頂上方再到右手指尖，你能看到到的、你沒能看到的，她都在。我沒辦法實質紀錄那有多美，但是一旦擁有了眨眼相機，就能夠無期限的保存，那是其他人都無法奪走的美麗。
Me and my family took a little trip to The Wuling Farm before my sister starting her job oversea. Since we love to stay in nature so much, the spot of my family trip is always some places like this. I've been here 2 years ago and was amazed by the starry night. The sky was amazingly studded with countless stars. That was absolutely beautiful so I put it in my collection with my Blink Camera.

我從沒讀過王小波的書，但是我想任何喜歡閱讀的人，對於這樣一間以書為主題的咖啡館都難以抗拒吧！參差_餘波未了 Remember Cafe 是中國咖啡達人及作家王森在2015年以紀念王小波及很多不能遺忘的事情所開的咖啡館。一想到竟然有人會為了喜愛的作家開了這樣一間咖啡館，就不禁讓我想多多了解王小波，OK王小波你加入我的書單囉！
Remember Cafe was founded by a Chinese Barista and writer Wang Sen in memory of his favorite writer Wang Xiaobo. Even though I haven't read any book of Wang Xiaobo, as a bookaholic, I'm definitely interested in this cafe with lots of books.

在台北的短暫停留的期間我去了兩家二手書店，二手書店總是無處去時最好的選擇。我本來只要去茉莉二手書店(台大店)，卻因為在小巷中迷路而遇見了胡思二手書店(公館店)，令我驚訝的是胡思擁有大量的英、外文書籍，這是很多二手書店所沒有的。那個下午最大的收穫就是在茉莉二手書店遇見讓我心醉心碎的熱戀。我找這本書很多年了，除了博客來已經絕版之外，我也在圖書館找過舊版印刷的莎岡小說集，可是從來沒能遇見她。愛戀何其難尋，更何況是熱戀呢？
I visited 2 used bookstores during my short stay in Taipei. For me, bookstores are always the best choice when I don't know where to go. At first, I was only going to Mollie Used Books but I got lost in the alley and accidentally found Whose Books. The most exciting thing in that afternoon was that I found an out-of-print La chamade of Françoise Sagan which I've been searching for years. (scream) We've already known how hard to get the kind of love we crave, not to mention an infatuation.
來自美國的堆疊冰淇淋 Emack&Bolio's 來台灣拓點了，就在信義誠品4樓。對我來說沒有特別好吃，但是可以自行搭配甜筒、冰淇淋口味和餅乾，多種選項層層堆疊，當然你能決定他最後的長相。大部分人最後得出的樣子都相當有趣，無趣如我，最後的結果根本也懶的拍照了。
You can always get an interesting ice cream in Emack&Bolio's, but for person like me? I'll only get one which I would never post it on my Instagram. (you can now imagine how boring it is.)
八月十五 / August 15th
旋轉木馬是我所有來遊樂園的原因，兩年前的暑假和大學同學來過一次，這次大概是此生最後一次了吧。旋轉木馬這種歡樂有趣充滿夢幻泡泡的少女設施，被我玩起來也顯得憂鬱了呢！
This merry-go-round is the only reason for me to go to an amusement park and it's probably the last time of my life (haha). Jack took a photo of me riding on it. When I saw this photo, the first though popped up in my mind was that Why I made this fun and interesting amusement ride so depressing.
I'm riding it as if someone broke my heart. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. It was fun, trust me.
八月二十日 / August 20th
實在很難想像高中的我們在六年後相聚的那晚，六年前、六年後還有這之間發生的種種。我沒有什麼朋友，可是每每看到願意待在我身邊的這些人總是感動萬分，讓我覺得自己是何其幸運能夠擁有這樣美好的愛。那一夜我們扯著嗓子大聲說話，我們滑稽的跳著舞，我們無數次的舉杯同歡，我們躺在床上面對面聊天直到天亮，我們提醒對方忘記的事，直到再也說不出任何一句話，直到只剩下彼此的呼吸聲。
It's hard to believe I know these people for 6 years. Not until that night did I realize how lucky I am to have such good friends. The moment we cheer, the moment we scream, the moment we dance in our way will all become the precious story of my life.
這個夏天我最常做的事是慢跑和閱讀。這兩個習慣我已保持多年，現在該是突破的時候了。一直以來我的跑程都維持在五、六公里左右，三年多過去了，好像不能這樣沒長進，所以慢慢加碼挑戰稍微長程一點的距離。八月開始，七公里、八公里，直到現在已經完成好多個十公里。雖然這只是人生中很小的一個挑戰，對別人來說也不是什麼厲害的事，但是只要每跑過一公里、每跑完一首歌、比前次紀錄快幾秒鐘，我都為自己感到驕傲。
Jogging for sure is the only thing I did the most in the past 2 months. I nearly jog everyday. I've been jogging regularly for 3 years and my everyday routine was 5km. I think it's about time to progress, so in August I started to jog for 7 or 8 km. Till now, I've finished several 10km. It may not something big or impressive but for me, every kilometer I run, every time I break my record, I just feel so proud of myself!
