[Bike Around Taiwan] One Year Later ...
[Happiness Project] Clutter Clearing
Inspired (a little) by the Happiness Project, which I'm currently reading, and MOSTLY because of my unnerving urge to clear away all the MESS that's been just mindlessly piling and piling and piling up, ever since I LAST cleared it all away, which was when ... we got this new shelf just to "organize" all this stuff into.
Salvador Dali in Taipei
This month, we went to the Dali Exhibition in Taipei, 中山紀念堂! Rarely do I actually dedicate this much of my time to getting to know an artist! I've always found it incomprehensible the CROWDING amount of visitors a visiting exhibition can get whenever they come to Taipei. There really are that many people into this stuff? Or is it ... as some people term it ... 假文青. lol.
[via my friend's iPhone!]
But I genuinely enjoyed this one! I vaguely remembered having been to one of his exhibitions loooong long ago. There was a Dali museum in Florida too, but I never got to visit that one. This time's though, I just fell head over heels in love with this guy.
I may not be able to fully appreciate his craziness or genius, but these are works of art that I'd actually WANT to understand. All the symbolic items that appear in his works ... drawers for sexual desires, canes representing helplessness, and soft watches are the relative time that's undetermined ... or something like that.
I may not understand every concept the artist is trying to express, but I can sense maybe how the Spanish landscapes have influenced his use of colors filling his paintings. Or at least, that will be forever how I'd picture the country he's from, until I get to visit for myself. Another thing worth noting is, no matter how dreamlike his works depict his surreal mind, they're always WITH a horizon, IN a landscape, with a sky and ground, apparent with a visual perspective, unlike how I'd typically imagine dream scenarios, which would be ungraspable events, people or dreams that float around without meaning, without destination, without form.

I Love Taiwan X
I'm just having one of the best mornings today! (please don't mention the seven days countdown til when everything is due! ahhhh!)
I absolutely loved what Mason shared with me yesterday, this guy trying to get a certain number of pictures of people throwing their hands up in the air and expressing their love for Taiwan. I LOVE these social media ideas :)
So I just had to put up my own picture too :D

Thank You Florida
Today is 2011 June 20th, officially 1 month + 3 days that I've been back in Taiwan. I WISH I could either say "It's officially the first day" or "first week" or even "10 days" (取個整數嘛) to say that I've been back ... but NOOOO, it's 1 month + 3 days. I'm very disappointed in myself 拖了這麼久的時間, 可是該謝的還是得謝!
It always feels weird to be finally looking back, and saying all these thank you's! It's like finally admitting the end of a phase, and concluding: "Thank you, had a great time with you, you made an impact in my life, and I hope I did too in yours!"
Besides thanking the BEAUTIFUL weather in Florida, the on-going vibe and energy in all of the States, and the opportunities and chances this year has to offer, there are sooooo many people I'd wanna thank!!
So here we go!
