New Title

"Congratulation." the advisor said.
 
I had been waiting for this day for ten years. However I feel no excitement after I get the degree. Today is just a point of the lifetime learning; and the title Doctor of Philosophy is a summary of the accumulated learning results so far. It does not come to me suddenly instead I have to approach to it inch by inch.

Hyrule Historia

Name:  The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia
Authors: Shigeru Miyamoto et al.
Publisher: Dark Horse
I play games, not accessories, such as figurines, cards, soundtracks associated with them. There are still some exceptions, and The Legend of Zelda is one of them. After watching the IGN's review, I bought Hyrule Historia online.

The touch of hardcovered books is wonderful.

On the Fallen Arm

Xenoblade Chronicles is a critically acclaimed game. I haven’t had a chance to play it, but I have enjoyed its music on Youtube very much. Sunday night I was listening to a song call “On the Fallen Arm.” The music is simple and touching, like sea rolling toward the cliff, the flushing water sparkling in daylight.

A Winter Trip in the Sunny Borderland

Jan. 4th

I walk on the street, wondering why this happened. I could not believe only one top university gave me the interview. Nothing is important to me now after I finished this interview this afternoon. It is really a pleasure to find a 7-11 near the motel I am staying at. I bought purified water and some nuts as snacks. Tonight I would like to watch the old movie hands of the ripper despite tomorrow's interview is waiting. My boldness comes from my preparation and self-confidence.

It is afternoon as I arrive San Diego

Silent Night


This Christmas I got a Christmas card. If my memory is correct, this is my first Christmas card. Maybe it was because I am the only Asian in the church, or maybe she gave a card to everyone. Whatever, it is good to receive blessings from others in the holiday season.

十字路口

下個月初到San Diego參加美國經濟學年會暨面試,我不知道自己是否已準備好,甚至如何準備。這次,我犯了一個大錯,就是幾乎放棄美國的機會,押了七成機會在大陸的學校。希望有更多的學校或企業能提供我面試的機會,否則就得在這裡多留一年了。有想過回台灣的大學工作,但是歸鄉之路太窄,身上包袱又沉重。非我不願意奉獻所學,而是那裏不缺我一人。所以不管是何處,只要能付出公平薪資,即便需遠赴東歐或中東,我都願意接受。不少離開此地的人都說,沒有地方比美國的環境更適合人居的。的確是如此。然我終歸是個異鄉人,時間到了就得再拖著行李,往他處而去。我心欲定,無奈現實如冬風,我只得如落葉般漂泊。

A Thanksgiving Day

Today is Thanksgiving Day. The library and the gym are closed as well as grocery stores. In a particular day like today, I try something different. First, I made a breakfast.
French Toast, Sausage (No Preservative) and Hot Chocolate
