Date Around

Filed under: Friends, All — Gina @ 11:50 pm

I am being so unusual…
So I went out with Mario today, the other guy I meet the other day. He is my schoolmate, illustration major, black. (ooh, yubee if you are reading this, I gotta tell you I think this is the influence from you, lol)
I think what I was doing wasn’t too far from going to a blind date. I barely know this person, although we talked a little when we first meet, it still wasn’t enough at all.
I was bored this morning and I got his phone call around noon asking me out for a movie, I thought he was talking about “right now in the afternoon”, but actually we end up with seeing a movie at 7pm. HUM, kinda late, but it was too late to regreat, besides I already truned him down once when he asked me out for lunch earlier this week, I don’t want to be rude.
Then I really went, and that was fine, I totally enjoied the movie and his company. (sorry I like to hide details.)
EXCEPT, he is 30 already!!! ooh man, gosh, no…

那些男人以及… Those Guys AND…

Filed under: Friends, All — Gina @ 2:22 pm

我想舊金山是一個非常熱情的城市,我在這理蒐集了各式各樣包羅萬象的被搭訕經驗。起初當然是被驚嚇到的成分居多,後來漸漸習慣以後,心頭還會有一點甜絲絲的驕傲的感受,到現在倒是就有點麻痺了的樣子,要多聊兩句還是絕塵而去全靠心情決定,只是無論如何我從不曾留下連絡方式或是直接跟野男人跑去喝咖啡,never。

前一陣子有朋友問我,為什麼我總不搭理那些在街上向我搭訕的陌生男人們?是純粹非我所愛或只是因為他們一時唐突讓我反應不及?這問題著實讓我有點不知所措。

我想這是習慣吧!對人情與親近拒絕已經成為我的習慣,下意識的,拒絕。其實我根本不曾注意對方的長相年紀,眼神腔調語氣,品味體味還是香水味,不知道這是不是另一種盲目?(從來不知道自己錯過了些什麼似乎也是另一種形式的浪漫)

當然我也不是頑固乏味的人,生活多一點驚喜變化也算好事一樁。嗯,所以我認識了David。

思鄉病 Home Sick

將晚 未開燈的房間 被黑暗吞噬

將睡還醒 盤坐起

迷眩之中 彷彿回到了熟悉地閣樓 等在門外是暖黃的光 熟悉的腳步聲來喚我

Barukh atah Adonai… 喃喃的禱文在耳邊輕聲唱起

攤開過去 在這裡 所有的哭泣都得到安慰 疼痛也被撫平

夜裡不開燈 我夢遊北國

When my bed just arrived my new apartment, I decided to put it right against the window, unconsciously. Now I know why. I has been really upset for a while, the excitement is gone, everything fall back to the reality…I miss Vancouver a lot.
Sometimes I sit one my bed, fade into the darkness as the night coming. All the sudden, I thought I am back in my room in Vancouver, I can see the door in front of me, I know where’s the desk with a lamp on it, and the window behind me, I even believe if I turn around, I can still see the tree on the sidewalk covered with snow. I can also hear Judy and Albert talking in the kitchen, Chad barking, and then Christopher come with Benjamin.
“Barukh atah Adonai…” we are having shabbat dinner, guguloo put her paws on Albert’s arm and got a piece of chicken. Enjoying the dessert brought by Christopher and ginger cookies with tea, Judy takes no sugar and me either, Christopher would have a spoon. We talk and share all the happiness and sadness together.
I can cry out and laugh, I know love will always back me up along with thousand hugs.
Night after night, I stay in this darkness, pretend I am still in Vancouver.
