關於買傘的長篇碎碎唸

雲.天有點紅紅的.28C

自從丟掉心愛的傘以後,一直也沒有甚麼機會要拿大傘(即是直傘啦)上街.而且以為找到了一把一模一樣的傘可以代替原本那把,(雖然顏色有點淺,從而讓我在腦裡閃過一下「可能是次貨」的念頭),心裡高興得要死.直到兩個月前(嘩!已經兩個月了?!)超級倒楣的那天,才發覺原來連傘也是有「就算看起來一樣但還是可能有天淵之別」的情況.那把次貨,害我在上課和回家途中兩次幾乎全身濕透.(因為大雨,所以塞車+沒小巴,於是我走到最近的地鐵站去.雖然跟上星期六的黑雨不可同日而語,可是我還是報銷了我最最最最最喜歡的那雙loafers.恨!!!)那次,基本上是腰以下大腿以上,還有頭髮跟臉全部都是濕的!對,頭髮濕的程度是可以把水捏出來的.

為甚麼會這樣?應該是傘布的防水質料不夠吧.在我走路時,一邊走一邊好像在淋雨的情況下,我不停地摸縫在布上傘骨的位置到底是不是有洞.可是一直都沒有摸到呀.最後才察覺,那些水其實就是直接透過傘這樣子倒在我的身上的!所以說,那跟沒有撐傘就沒有分別嘛.

從此我對那把次貨信心全失.可是因為又沒有破爛,也不好把它丟掉.但在下雨天,我寧願帶小摺傘或拿媽媽的傘好了.不然在上班途中又來重演一次落湯雞上身,那可不是開玩笑的.那,沒有大傘又很麻煩呢.於是心想等有空了要好好的去尋找一把漂亮又耐用的大傘!

心目中的傘要有點色彩的.下雨天,已經昏昏沉沉了,還拿一把深色的傘會令人很沮喪呢.圖案最好是那種有法式sketching的,又或者是Orla Kiely風格的都很不錯.我還在猶豫要選一把比較淑女的還是要型一點的好呢?最好不要名牌的傘啦.又貴又張揚,萬一破掉或不見了,肯定心痛死了.嗯,還有,要比較不一樣的,否則會被人拿錯呢.可是太漂亮的,又要擔心會不會被人盯上了,然後拿走(呃,是不是我想太多了?).

所以要找一把合心水的傘也不容易.於是我前一陣子坐巴士的節目不是把握時間讀書,而是留意街上的人撐著甚麼樣的傘.不過真的看到喜歡的我會願意跟人拿一樣的傘嗎?好啦,這才是重點.-__-;唉,寫到這裡我也覺得自己很麻煩.可是,傘這樣的accessories真不能隨便選呀!

結果今天讓我無意中找到了.過程一點都不複雜,也不花時間(前後才不過三分鐘).

其實今天沒有想要購物,而且會去商場原本是要替老媽看一下他挑的涼鞋(買兩雙有額外折扣,所以他叫我也去選一下).誰知道,一眼看到他那雙其中一條帶子的邊已經磨舊了,最後於是沒買.當我們要離開商場時,經過這一家店,卻看到傘.

看一眼就喜歡了.其實也很奇怪,擺放的地方毫不起眼,真的不容易留意到.可是,我老遠就看到了.(它真身不是全黑的;這個只是它的「外套」而已.)

雖然已經半價了,還是很貴.X!為甚麼我最近買東西都要花那麼多錢?看見人家買到好東西卻用1/2、1/3,甚或是1/10的價錢...突然心理變得很不平衡!!!

不過算了,我是真心喜歡它的,而且看起來也很堅牢耐用(!!!).加上本著「我會用它用上個十年」的原則,這樣子算起來,比每年買一把用一用就爛掉的傘是更划算吧.(自我安慰中.)

this is so random...

ummmmmmm........ this is so not right. i'm never the type of person that things Christmas is a romantic day. sorry...

Your Ideal Marriage Proposal Is

A Christmas proposal, with lots of snow and city lights.

What's Your Ideal Marriage Proposal?

and this.. ha! [i'm trying to follow maddog's path of test-taking :P]

What the Beach Test Says About You

You tend to be a very social person. You live for your friends and family. You can get social burnout occasionally though. You aren't a total extrovert. You fall in love with ease and confidence. Even if you've had bad experiences in the past, each new love is a reason to start completely over. You are a deep and contemplative person. You are as passionate as everyone else, but your passion is not always apparent. Your sense of humor is sarcastic, snarky, and realistic. You're not exactly happy-go-lucky.

The Beach Test

and the most random of all (actually i think the black one is more accurate):

Your Gemstone Says...

You are a person of high morals and ethics. You have a lot of personal integrity, and you are very loyal. You are a very charitable person, and you have faith in others. Almost everyone is very impressed with you.

The Gemstone Test

so I've been pretty realistic

yeah... so stop telling me that i'm picky. the fact is... somehow... there's just nothing that i can pick from. very sad. -___-

You Are Picky When it Counts

Like most sane women, you want a great guy who will treat you well. But you're also willing to put up with a few flaws in your Mr. Right You should congratulate yourself on having a realistic approach to dating. You probably have quite a few great guys you can date!

Are You Too Picky When It Comes To Men?

減價喎...情有可原啦

涼.25C

明天是pre-sale的最後一天.不過,過一陣子就會open sale啦,其實到時候應該會減到更低的.

不過,這一季的鞋子很不錯,趁現在有號碼還是先去買比較好.我買的那雙,很多人可能會說,幹嗎付這個價錢去買一雙認不到是這個品牌的鞋子?

可是能找到一雙合適、舒服、得體又低調的黑鞋子,唉,在現在這個這麼「潮」的社會,真是千金難尋.嗯,這有點複雜,有空再詳細的寫吧.

另,我看到這個袋子,忍不住跟sales姐姐搭訕說,嘩,怎麼變得那麼閃?

然後,他好像有點對著大鄉里解釋一樣,說道,今年是80週年呀.這是今年的紀念袋子,過了就沒有啦.

哦.那是限量的囉?是不是可以拿去炒?

*閃*

終於收到啦!

不過無時間寫,又無時間聽.

但阿方生首歌已經畀我煲到爛咗,所以隻碟好在可以唔使我去d/l其他歌.仔細啲睇,封信雖然係機印嘅,但有我個名噃,真係好鬼細心.個慈善手環$8,500真係負擔唔起啦.如果要做善事,寧願直接啲捐去慈善機構.況且,我都唔戴手鏈/鈪嘅.

唉,話時話,真係好想可以好似咁囉.

下個禮拜一定寫得詳細啲,雖然响個網上面已經有十萬九千七個人寫過.

三姑六婆

天開始陰.27C

三姑六婆(正統的解釋在此)其實是不分性別、年齡、婚姻狀況又或者有多少人生經驗.

有時候他們說得很一針見血,很到位的.可是就是那種語氣,那種口吻,那種嘴臉,讓人非常的受不了.

還有那種事必關己和對每件事都有意見(又或者「我甚麼都知道!」,還有「我[的]就是最好的!」)的態度.

有那麼多時間去關心別人,不如多花一點時間想想怎樣可以提昇自己.(!!!唉.可是他們都是神級了,當然不會覺得自己有需要提昇的需要.唉.)

那麼長舌,下輩子當心變啞巴.

If My Life Was a Movie...

Showers.With a little Sun.27C

The Movie Of Your Life Is A Cult Classic

Quirky, offbeat, and even a little campy - your life appeals to a select few. But if someone's obsessed with you, look out! Your fans are downright freaky. Your best movie matches: Office Space, Showgirls, The Big Lebowski

If Your Life Was a Movie, What Genre Would It Be?

Your Expression Number is 1

You have the skills to be a top executive or businessperson. But first you must develop your natural capacity to be a good leader. You are truly original - with a creative approach to life and a very sharp mind. You reach for the sky, and you have the potential to reach it. Assertive and straight forward, you have little need for supervision. You are self-confident, self-reliant, and courageous in your convictions. While you sometimes fear loneliness, you prefer to be left alone. A bit self centered, you may be hard to live with at times. You also have a strong dominant streak - which can push others away at times.

What's Your Expression Number?

早睡

多雲.驟雨.26C

我發覺早睡早起精神好是騙人的話.還是因為我睡債太深,早睡的話還是得晚起才有足夠精神?

話說過去這個週末是打算很努力地早睡早起,趕快寫好那篇爛文,好讓我在週日整天還有時間對著那些雞精發呆.誰知道,如意算盤連一聲都不響.睡是早睡了(週六還十一點半已就寢!),第二天最後還是要七點半才願意爬起來,比原定的時間足足遲了一個半小時.惱人的是,起來之後精神依然頹靡,更枉論能不能集中了.

說到不能集中,昨天情況更為嚴重.下午坐在廳裏邊打文邊聽那賑災節目,心想如果唱得難聽或是沒興趣時大可不理.最後還是眼睛一直盯住了電視,連哪些暗星在台下作呼籲時也看個不亦樂乎(主要是老媽一直在問這是誰那是誰).所以最後還是得在深夜作戰才完成.唉,禮拜五的音樂會的票要去退了.(十萬個不高興!!!或是看看誰有興趣給我認購去.)

看來要我變成一個早睡早起的健康人需要走一段很漫長(既痛苦)的路.其實我不用長命,只要不要老時病痛多多就好了.

又做跛妹

悶熱.27C

就是為了拍那兩張照片,就是那麼輕輕的一拗,又害了我當了好幾天的跛妹.(我那時候到底在想甚麼?幹嗎把腳抬得那麼高,又借那麼軟的椅子的力?!唉...)到底是舊患,就算平時怎麼保護,就是差那麼的一下下,還是會功虧一簣的.

拗到膝蓋是很痛苦的,因為很多動作其實都是靠在膝蓋這個關卡輕微的擺動.平常膝蓋健康的時候,任意扭動時不會察覺到那個動作其實有牽涉到膝蓋的.可是一旦扭傷了,就連做最簡單的動作也會痛不欲生.睡覺時不能持續地伸直,彎曲久了又會痛.睡醒時會因為之前長時間維持一個動作而變得僵硬,然後一動就好像要把腿從膝蓋扭斷一樣.因為怕痛,所以走平路時落地用力會不平均而走得一拐一拐的(走上坡或上樓梯都還好);又因為兩腳彎曲的角度和伸直的幅度不一樣而出現有點長短腳的跡象.不過如果給我一根拐杖的話,我是不懂得用的.重心都放錯了,最後傷的那條腿越走越痛.唉,我形容得不清不楚的,反正就是麻煩和痛囉.

最可憐是當我走得很辛苦的時候,居然沒有人察覺到有任何異樣,而且還被人形容為健步如飛.而在繁忙時間,路人都一直緊貼著在我後面又或者如風一般的超越我.唉,真是風水輪流轉.想當我真的健步如飛的時候,我也有(偶爾啦)嫌棄前面的人走得慢... ...

應該是巧合,不過也真的太巧合吧了?上一次的大扭傷也是跟去泰國和打羽毛球有關.難道是有甚麼暗示?
