Heroes?

Heroic movies or fictions have the tendency of focusing on life and death of the so-called "heroes" or the main character. Of course a story gotta have its focus, but I can't help myself thinking about all those "unimportant" characters, which has been shot in the head or blown up. And, it seems that no one else matters at all except the lead character.
How is ones's life more important than another? Why care about one's background, feelings, values or struggle, while all the other people seem to worth nothing at all.
To think a little bit deeper, should that sad security guard whose neck was snapped by the "hero" have a family of his own? What about his wife, his kids, his parents? Does he know he's working for the "bad guy"? Though a story doesn't have the endless paragraphs or chapters to waste on every single character's sad little story, the omission still seems way too rude for the dead. Afterall, those unimportant characters can be anyone of us or people around us and close to us.

Maybe, just maybe, people are too in need of idols or the chance to forget about their sad little lives. With that been said, I am probably just another one of them.

Where?

How should I put them all together?
Pieces of the wondering soul simply scattered.
Life is sometimes described as the making of one's will yet it might appear as fate in some instance.

Which can penetrate one's heart deeper, a touch or music?
One touch can find its way through all the interconnected cells to deep down inside.
Music somehow fills up the room with its own particles, there's no escape except taking every breath with it.

People try to think about the world as a whole all the time, even though we all only occupy such a small space at a time.
What if it's not the presence that counts, but how many hearts that's been reached.

Do people live inside the words they said or wrote?
Do they leave a secret passage to them on their painting or sculpting?
Can we hear them in the music that they once composed?

緊湊的一天~

2007/6/3 (Sun)

這天是Nina準備要出國的一天,11:55pm的飛機飛向巴黎。
剛好也是wawa的婚禮,去參加6.30pm的婚宴。
早上則是因為事前已經調課,所以8:50am又要先到學校上課。

一早上完課,回家準備好之後就拎著西裝就到高鐵站坐1pm的車前往板橋。到那當然是幫忙Nina準備她要出國一些有的沒有的東西,因為Nina需要把所有東西都先準備好然後跟我一起去參加婚禮,然後在趕去飛機場搭飛機。我想大概沒有多少人會要出國前還這樣趕場的吧~

總之後來也是準備到了都超過預定時間才能夠出門。後來是一直忙到差不多6.30pm才趕出門做捷運到Hyatt君悅去,一路都擔心著會不會很尷尬地太晚進場,出了捷運站看到正下著傾盆大雨反倒還覺得慶幸,想說一下與路上一定會塞車,應該有許多人也會晚到吧~ 一進到大廳,眼鏡上的霧氣還沒消,就已經有個攝影師在拍照了,上了第一階手扶梯,又有兩個攝影師在拍照,才剛想著怎麼這麼多攝影師,上了第二段手扶梯還沒反應過來就遭到一陣閃光燈的猛烈攻擊,實在太亮了,沒時間看清楚,不過少說有十幾台相機同時喀嚓喀嚓的吧~ 終於了解電視上那種走星光大道的感覺了~ 不過也有可能是有什麼大的八卦新聞的情況吧~ 總之進去以後看起來大多數的人都已經入座了,只是還沒有正式開始,好險~~
雖然有許多政商名流出席,但是就如同wawa事先講的,並沒有一堆無趣的來賓致詞,只有嚴長壽先生代表各位來賓為新人們做個簡單地祝福。之後呢,最精彩有趣的部份就是新郎新娘自己拍攝剪輯的短片了~ 真的非常有創意跟趣味。
婚宴上的餐點是七道經過試吃三次才醞釀而出的素食料理,食材都非常的天然健康,只是因為要趕飛機,只吃到了前四道~

婚宴上除了wawa,還有見到了Lily, Vicky, Patrick, Tim等已經多年不見的朋友,想起來,自從離開紐西蘭之後就七年多沒見到過他們了,雖然經過這麼久,不過大家看起來似乎都沒有改變太多。

後來到了快要九點,我們才離開會場前往機場,雖然外面依然下著雨,不過交通還算順暢,所以也順利趕到機場check-in。人不是很多,所以也一下子就完成check-in了。因為時間有限實在沒有吃到太多東西,怕待會會肚子餓,所以又到上面找東西吃,本來Nina是想到要吃另外一家雞腿飯,雖然那雞腿飯其實是微波的,不過有點像是炸過又滷過的樣子,口味跟口感都很好。不過我還是比較偏好拉麵,所以在大廳新開的本場流吃了一碗赤味增拉麵,還不錯吃~麵Q湯濃。另外還有傳統的花生豆花也很不賴。

吃飽之後,面對即將發生的離別場面,雖然不是第一次,但是在任何時刻任何地點,心中都是難分難捨的。能做的只是心中把那種潛藏的哀傷往內推,把表徵換做是對她旅途的祝福跟下次見面的期待。

面對要等待的時間,告訴自己時間很快就會過的。
面對她旅途上可能會遭遇的困難跟辛苦,想著她可以好好照顧自己的。
面對思念的煎熬,想著並不是第一次要去面對,我能夠應付的。

能夠坦然接受也支持她,因為任何她可以去努力和追求自我成長的機會,都是寶貴也值得支持的;就是因為她有這樣子追求夢想的心,讓她更令人欣賞。

加油喔!

墾丁之旅 - 5/27~5/29

5/27 Sun
晚上大概9.15pm才從潮州出發往墾丁去,到墾丁大灣的民宿好像就已經差不多快9.50pm了~ 後來去接上繞了一圈,買了50嵐的飲料、燒烤跟東山鴨頭,其實大多的店都已經關得差不多了~ 只剩下零星幾家賣宵夜的路邊攤...

5/28 Mon
隔天早上跟民宿借了免費提供的腳踏車,先往接上去找早餐吃~ 先到7-Eleven晃了晃~ 不過時再沒什麼東西比較感興趣的,後來到隔壁的"魔法廚房"早餐車買了蛋餅跟鮪魚蛋三明治吃,倒是還不錯吃~
吃飽之後,想說騎到就在旁邊的墾丁國家公園去看看,進了大門沒多久,發現開始有不少上坡路,最後想想明明可以開車上去,加上太陽實在蠻大的,不如之後開車上去,所以就掉頭往海邊騎囉~ 所以就往帆船石的方向騎過去。
最先到了凱撒飯店管理的小灣,就停下車下去一探究竟,還蠻漂亮的海邊,也許是早上加上週一,所以不是很多人,但藍天加上碧海實在很美~ 只是腳底下的沙實在是非常的燙,因為脫下鞋子去泡水,又沒有拖鞋~ 有種腳底快被燙熟的感覺。

待續~
