一個人不等於Alone 也不該是寂しい(寂寞)。

今天的標題很怪，混雜著不同的語言．這不是一個讀過口譯的人該說的話，這更不該是學過翻譯的人寫出的文句，可是我卻這樣真實的感受到了，這是我今天想說的話．

12/24平安夜，外國人的玩意兒．大家都認為，英文老師的活動應該最多．尤其像我這樣放過幾年洋的，理所當然是徹夜狂歡，無酒不歡的族群．可是我，卻一個人安安靜靜的渡過了今天．

中午放學，下午到北投十信參加一場英文研習，跟著，我開心地像孩子一樣，搭公車到新北投站，準備來個溫泉之旅．一個人，靜靜地走著，走在這滿是回憶的地方．那個人，已經不在身邊了，而我也不再是那個被困在感情中的我．很高興在三十歲之後，找回了自己的自尊與美麗．我覺得自己越來越美了，不完全是型體上的美，而是心靈．覺得漸漸以自己為榮，漸漸地不再需要刻意去討好哪一個人，只做一個誠實的人，好好面對自己的人，努力過得更好的人．

一下車，心情是雀躍的．超級興奮，恣意走著，隨意吸取大自然的味道，溫泉、樹林與空中的濕氣．很妙阿！這就是人生啊！我喜歡這樣的感覺，心裡有個目的地，但是卻沒有方向．到處亂走，想歇腳就停下來、想拍照就把自己當個觀光客，就是這樣阿！在自己的國家，卻有他鄉異地的感受．

一個人去泡湯...有一間溫泉不接待我ㄟ．櫃檯小姐面有難色說＂不好意思，我們不單收一位客人．＂
吉妮心裡的獨白：好怪！怕我自殺喔？此處不留爺，自有留爺處．果然，荷豐館，收留我ㄟ！還幫我升等豪華湯屋喔！呵呵．．．超級開心的！

最好玩的是，大概是我太熱情地對門房說＂謝謝你！＂害他以為我是外國人，幫我拍照時會先說，One Two Three，照完又說ㄟ．．你這個怎麼沒有Flash? 呵呵...非常可愛!! 跟著又說，＂你一個人，とても　寂しい(很寂寞)。我要走了又跟我說 "Welcome welcome."

哈哈...大叔到底當我哪國人啊?！

喔...說了這麼多，我其實想說，我沒有大家想像的那麼悲慘．一個人真的只是代表一個人．It's just me. It doesn't mean I am lonely and miserable. 真的不代表我很孤單，也不意味著我很悲慘．不要再說我一個人很寂寞囉！因為，那是單身女子的專利，別人不能說啦！呼呼．．哈哈！

Fun Fair .. Charity Lah!

It's my first ever school Fun Fair as a homeroom teacher. It was tiring but interesting. The students were so excited about it and they put so much efforts into it. I am really proud that I've got students like them.

It was difficult to sell at the begining . So they were really discouraged and they felt quite down. So, as a teacher, I needed to be strong. Though I've got no experience, I tried my best to create DESIRE for my customers. It worked and I think the reason they bought our products was becasue it's funny to see a homeroom teacher selling and yelling so hard! Haha...

Well.. anyway, we did OKAY and we've done our best. Ya Ya Ya ...Oh, and I managed to take one photo with my little nephew. Isn't he lovely?!

Excuse me, have you ever ....

My students love to ask personal questions. They want to know more about me and I have no idea where they got information about my past. I think this would happen if you've grown up and taught in the same place for too long.

Another time to go? Haha... nah..not like that!

I'm not saying that I want to leave because I just got back from abroad. It's troublesome in class that my students were asking too many personal things. It hinders my schedule in class.

Sigh... it's good that my students are curious about me but I don't like gossips. I think, next time I am going to make them ask questions in English. By doing so, they might stop asking or they might actually learn more!! Brilliant!!

Being Happy isn't all that difficult!!!

Well..... what does that mean?

I was quite down last week and I couldn't stop complaining and feeling misserable for myself.

Last Tuesday after work, on my way home I decided to "Be Happy". And that's what I did so far. There is nothing can stop me now! I want to be HAPPY! I want my own Happiness.

So since last Tuesday, I've been happy. Even a student asked me "Genie, how come you're so happy every day?" Haha....

Happiness is simple. It depends on your heart. What's more, we can decide WHEN to invite it to our life and HOW to be Happy!!

It's really esay... Just decide When do we want to be happy!!
