Once
























Once lyrics
Last year, my best friend told me this web site, which allows reader to listen all their movie soundtracks on-line. Falling slowly won the best song in Oscars in 2008.

"Not only for us, but for all other independent musicians and artists that spend most of their time struggling. The fact that we're standing here tonight, it's just to prove no matter how far out your dreams are, it's possible." said Irglova, who is an independent musician and the main character in this movie. This also a good example for people who are pursuing their dreams.

I do love "Leave" because the power from the singer in the end of the song and also the touch lyrics.

"Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you have to now
Leave, leave..."


Once in Time,

Mac 『ㄉㄨㄤ』開機音效

There is a loud sound after pressing the start press.
Here is a software made by a Japanese to adjust this sound effect!
Thanks! It is really annoying me, especially in classes and meetings.

Join Bike Smiling Activities

Bike Smiling
微笑單車上路


Today I was extremely expected to attend this activities! This bike activities's spirit is based on the critical mass, which means the largest volume of the bikes on the road. If the road is full of the bikes, car drivers, government, and any one will know there is a huge group on the road and their right of the road can not be neglected.

The sponsor set a check list today. We would ride pass a circle, a shop, a road, a station, and a park to exam its bike friendly degree in this whole year.

Dunhua Road bike path under construction
1. 敦化南北路
I love this road full of trees and there will be a bike route very soon! But we found there are some cars parked on the bike lane. Sign~ This is the intermediate. I am so curious about what the other two problems.
a. There will be lots of cars on the road after the elementary schools(敦化國小,復興國小). How to deal with the conflict between the cars parking on the bike route and the cyclist riding on the route at the same time.
b. The design of bus stop is not good base on my view point. The cyclists have to stop behind the bus and after the bus leave then we can pass bus station. Why not design a special path behind the stop? I really can not understand...

2.敦化圓環
We ride 5 times on this circle! Crazy! Each circle we have to stop for 4 times and to protect our lungs we will stop in front of the scooters. Sorry! But there are really more and more people ride on the road.

3.科技大樓捷運站
Too much bikes but not enough parking space!

4.復興南路單車店
Friendly. If you are not buy your bike there, this shop will still do their best to help you.

5.鳳雛公園
Their is a tap in this park but some trees are moved to here and they are tall without much leaves.

In the end, next time 3/22 台北巨蛋廣場(under the huge screen), see you soon!

Heart Breaking Day

Today I make a decision not to apply industrial ecology program in Leiden, http://www.industrialecology.nl/. It is so hard to me to make this decision. This is a great graduated program hold by three famous university in Netherlands, Leiden, Delft, and Eramus. Some Professors are the world-leading researchers. Also, Netherlands government takes actions to face the sustainable issues, which means there will be lots of projects to achieve their goals. The companies response to these, too. These are the reasons for me to apply. However, when I consider about the finance part, the monthly spend needs NTD 34000 and tuition fee is NTD 76,0000 per year. If I apply it, I have to think how to deal with NTD 200,0000. I have check the scholorships but it is rare and really hard to apply.

Every time when I think it takes so much money to study abroad, I would become frustrate. Today I also tell the professors not to write the recommendations. I am so shame... Why am I not to consider clearly then ask them to do that?

Frustrated...

But it is useless to be gloomy.

I will be concentrated on memorizing the GRE words again tomorrow.

Keelung Public Library



















It has been a long time not to go to the public library in Keelung city. Today my cousin and I went there and applyed for the borrow card. I taught her how to apply it and how to borrow a book which is already known its names. I think she love to read but without a good environment and encouragement. There are good seriers of books about the differet country in the world with comic. I recommended her to read them. I hope she will like them.

I also borrow some book about Netherlands, which is a really open mind country. You can see sundry races, different countries' food, and the innovation ideas. Cradle to cradle is a pouplar new word there. Netherlands has less land and resources. They have to deal environmental issues with effective ways. If the waste can be the nutrition of the new product, what a wonderful dream about C2C! Also there are some good groups focus on bicycle's issue, such as communicate system, cyclist's right and bicycle culture. If I have money and time, I must want to stay there for a longer travel.

What will you do when I feel frustrated?




















I felt frustrated in these days because I lost my goal and I do not have enough faith to prepare study abroad. It bothers my so many times. I forgot the ways I used to overcome this blue mood.

"Is this really hard for me? In a life-long scale, this is only one bottleneck of it! This is nothing only if you can not insist on it. Do not say impossible. Try it, and leave something after hard working. Work as much as I think."

"If tomorrow is the end of the world, should I still be blue?"

"Hay! What do I have? Good friends and family. Cherish!"

Environmental management

Today my aunt told me I could post my dream about the environmental management on the Internet, maybe one day someone can have the interaction with me, and also I can practice my poor writing in English.

What I want to learn is the environmental management, especially on the industrial ecology part and landscape design.

What I know about the industrial ecology contains life cycle analysis(LCA), green chemistry, cradle to cradle(C2C) and clean production. LCA is the tool to analysis the product or target to understand from the beginning to the end of it. Calculate the procedure's effect on the environment, such as energy consume, or carbon dioxide production. Green chemistry, C2C and clean production are the environmental friendly ways of the production.

Landscape design is my interested, too. Based on my experience to communicate in Taipei city. The good transportation is really important for citizens. To provide a stable and efficient public transportation can reduce the cars and scooters usage. Also I am interested on the decision of the landscape development. Environmental system analysis tools can provide a rational indicator for the police. Such as the decision of East High Way, 湖山水庫, 國光石化 and lots of development are base on the environmental effect reports, which provide qualitative not the quantitative information.

This is my beginning of English article. I will try my best to improve my writing and tell more stories in English and any suggestions and comment are welcome!


Tomorrow is the first work day after the Chinese new year. I will start on my GRE preparation and keep find the jobs.^^
