西門 - 台北車站 - 台大醫院

上班地點在西門-台北車站-台大醫院站圍成的三角形之間，可至任一站搭車，算是相當方便。之前住西門町時，每天走路上班，早上可以從容地上班，中午還可以回家處理事情。

現在住東區，生活環境比西門町優良了許多，不過早上要比較早出門，儘管如此，還是覺得住東區比較值得，生活品質比較好，at least it's where the hot men hang out.

I don't miss Ximending at all... Oh well, my scooter is still parked there. I guess I have to bring it back some time. I can't just let it sit there like I did to my old bike in my university.

Disaster Movie

Here is another dumb movie I feel like seeing:

Disaster Movie:

The House Bunny / 女郎我最兔

Well... it is a funny movie... very funny.
Anna Faris's movies are usually dumb, but funny.

I felt like seeing this movie as soon as I saw the trailer.
Anyway, the plot itself is kind of simple and doesn't need too much brain to understand.

There are several actors worth mentioning in this movie: The guy playing Oliver is Tom Hanks's son. The girl wearing the iron bracket is the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore.

The funnies movie of the year, I think, is still Get Smart, though.

加州萬歲 / Long Live California

美國加州同性戀婚姻合法，台灣加州的會員們去結婚吧!
Same sex marriage is legal in California.
Members of California in Taiwan, go get married!
***
Well... this entry is not about same sex marriage.
I decided to buy life-time membership at California Fitness, and I put my words into action last night. After sitting at the desk with one of their salesman for over 3 hours, I could not at all make the membership any cheaper. The price was still the same as when I first got there. The only thing that was lowered was the monthly fee that D had to pay every month since he wants a monthly payment plan.

Thinking about the long-term benefits of having a life-time membership, and with D's encouragement and lowered monthly fee, I signed the contract in the end, like around 12:00 at night. I arranged the payment into 18 installments so that the bill would not be too high all at once.

Now I can only hope that California Fitness will live forever and ever, and they will always have new tricks/treats to entertain me.... hahaha

Paul - une boulangerie française ( a french bakery)

When I was in Paris few years ago, I went to a bakery called Paul several times to buy something to eat (I guess it tasted good, but I really don't remember now...)

Few weeks ago, I saw a big "PAUL" sign by Ren-ai Roundabout. It immediately reminded me of that French bakery. And it really is.

I went there yesterday to check out the store and found out that it was more than a bakery. It's a restaurant/cafe too, and there were people in line waiting for seats. Well, since I wasn't there to have lunch, I just lined up by the bakery side (you see, another lineup!). I didn't really do any research before going there so I just bought whatever I felt like trying. Two apple pies, one chocolate bread and one heart-shaped cookie(or bread?) cost over NTD300.

There are still other desserts and pastries that I haven't tried there, and I also want to try the restaurant too. I will go there again some time. Well... but maybe not so soon. haha

235

I guess the bus I have been taking the most often is 235.

It passes by Zhongxiao Dunhua, S.Y.S. Memorial Hall, Wenchang St.(on An-he Rd.), Carnegie's, Far Eastern Plaza Hotel, Technology Building, NTNU, Guting MRT, Hengyang Rd., Ximen MRT, IKEA Xinzhuang branch, and Xinzhuang.... (not necessarily the name of the stops)

It's like wherever I move to, I am always within the route of this bus. It connects me with the world. It brings me to places I frequent. It carries me and sometimes someone else to our destinations, either in the mornings or at nights.

On 235, I have been happy, sad, angry, and crying. I have been filled with joy just as the bus was filled with happy crowds. I have been depleted of hope just as the passengers were one by one getting off the bus, leaving me alone on the dimly lit late night bus.

I went to school on it. I went home on it. I went to the gym on it. I listened to music on it. I sat with my man on it. I went out for a date on it.

I love 235 for it's convenience and itinerary.
I hate 235 when I have to wait for over 30 minutes and none of it has come by.

Eagle Eye

Shia LaBeouf surely looks more sophisticated and hotter in Eagle Eye than in Transformers, though at the age of 23 (born in 1986).

The movie was exciting, the pace of the movie and the suspense throughout the movie were all good, but the theme is nothing new. Well... I can't talk much about the theme here. Otherwise it will become a spoiler. But it is really amazing how people are watched and monitored in their daily life.

New Place, Better Life

I just moved to a new suite room in the east district of Taipei. It's close to the branch of the gym I frequent and prefer. The room is smaller and seems like a hotel room. I am still trying to get used to the size of the new bed, too. It's smaller. I have been sleeping on a double bed (even a queen size bed for a few years) so I need some time to get used to a shrunk bed.

This small room has one advantage: big balcony. The balcony can basically fit a single bed without problem. It is a nice balcony, with a view of low skyline and the top of Taipei 101. It is not a useful place, however, except for hanging the laundry to dry. I would love to put a table and two chairs on the balcony, and then sit there and have a drink and stuff. I know I will not do that very often even after I actually put a table and chairs there.

However, the landlord just offered me a solution to the size problem. The biggest room will be available for rent at the end of this month. I can take that room instead if I am willing to pay more. Well... a bigger room and a bigger bed and a bigger bathroom!!! Hmmmm... does it worth the extra rent to get a bigger room? Well... I know I will have to sacrifice the balcony of the small room if I want to move to the bigger room. I know a bigger bed can fit 2 people better, but ...

We will see... hahaha

decision to move

Well... I've made up my mind to move out of this place I am living to stay as far away as possible to the tap-dancing hippopotamus at nights.

I've looked at some independent suites around the east Taipei area, but I haven't found any that I like. So I guess I will have to keep looking. I still have about 3 weeks before moving out of this hippo-haunted box, resounded with the sounds of door opening and closing, stair-climbing, walking and, above all, banging on the ceiling floor. It will be a great relief to move out of this regular late-night torture. For the past few months, I had to be extremely exhausted and sleepy to be able to ignore the late-night tapping/banging sounds coming from above.

Oh well... nicer residential area, here I come!!!
