the last part of my thanks goes to my advisor and classmates:
you broadened my visions, you deepened my thoughts, you heightened my minds, and about all, you lightened my dreams.
with your company, i am not alone on the way of intellectual quest. i'd say, you guys are great.
well, the "many thanks" series is kind of flat, i know. i just took the chance to practice my english which i've long forgotten to use.

many thanks, part 2
i'd like to thank more persons.
my pals, rank on the second. it seems that we've been knotted since we became classmates on college. -9, A Cool, Dennis, Mavis, Orwell, PH, Piglet, Rover, Ruth, Sweeney, Thomas, XO... you guys all have important roles in my later life. though we don't have much time to meet up with each other, the tie is strong. and, without sweeney, i would never have the chance to meet my godmother, teacher Love, who showed me something with her life.
my colleagues, David, has long been a loyal friend since we met each other at the very first day to apply the job. we shared vision, we hold each other, and we empowered each other. Luke, Laida, KK, SIC, Mr Cheng, you guys are really good to me out of question.
my former boss, Ms Wu, showed me another example. you valued me, you challenged me, you encouraged me.
well, it's a long list to go.

time flies
time flies quickly within minutes, and life flies quickly within years.
true or false?
nothing more real than the mind, nothing more false than the mind;
the reality is nothing but constructed by the mind.
age, nothing to count yet something accounted, gives me the chance to cherish my health, sort of sad.
times changes many things, yet something left unchanged.
what is it?
i wish i know the answer.
i think i know the answer, likely.

many thanks
i'd like to dedicate all my gratitudes to those who ever helped shape what i am today.
my parents of course top the rank; they gave me a "good enough" home where i could live freely and grow willingly.
my elder, mostly like an idol to me while father, a business man, was absent making money outside. he's always a step in front of me, and guidelined me what could be done next.
my youngster, partly a kid competitor, turned out to be part of my care when i am getting older. he showed me the competition could someday mean something cared, something important.

the birthday present i gave myself
i gave myself a big birthday present this morning - the dissertation defense.
couple months ago i was not sure about the present, and wondered if it could be carried out.
there was nothing i could do with the result when i handed out the papar; the committee could have turned me down. what i could do was work hard for the dissertation before the committed had the chance to do so. i produced at least 60,000 words during the past three months and was on the edge of giving up many times.
the most priceless present i've ever received is this one.

避暑好去處
（大型金莎巧克力？）
昨天花了小錢換得大大的涼意，心裡頗為得意，
只是日子不能這樣子長久下去。
要是速食店裡的正妹多也就算了，
偏偏附近的速食連鎖店大都嘛是獨立的店面，
想要滿足眼睛的欲望，恐怕要遠一點，
再不然就是百貨公司美食街的速食店…
想到士林科教館九樓有個圖書館，
那是上次辦活動時發現的好地點，
除了辦會員之外，還有不同免費入場的方法，
上次讓我找到其中一條給溜了進去，於是騎上車，
前往那裡的九樓。
「酒樓到了。」嗯，又是九樓，好位置！
科教館的圖書室，景觀超棒，
可以看到台北市區，也可以看到陽明山系，
裡頭的空間頗寬敞，實在是市立圖書館以外的免費讀書好去處，
只是，遲了就沒什麼位子，
只得去坐在沙發看書了…
唯一的缺點是，下午五點就閉館，混不下去。

賞荷去
記得有一年在關渡平原以仰角拍攝荷花大大感到滿意後，
再來去關渡平原就沒再拍到滿意的作品了。
該說是技術沒長進，也說是時機沒把握好，
總之，過了好幾個沒有漂亮荷花的夏季。
趁著把功課完成到一個程度後的空檔，
見天氣不錯，也不管烈日當頭，
拿起相機、跨上機車出門去，
期望能遇到好的花兒可拍。
其實花兒都在，只在於我有沒有看到、拍到而已。
這的花況還不錯，至少荷花還不少，
途中還遇到一位先生見我拿著相機，
聊到故宮前的至德園幾乎已無花可拍，
我則回報某年得以仰拍的經驗回報，不知他能不能找到，
也不知我今年還能找到哪裡否。
拍完了，回家，至於照片好不好已經不再那麼重要，
至少，我在現場看到了。

belated wish, not too late
這篇其實早已準備好材料，只是沒想到這陣子會這麼忙，
忙到都快要消失了，這可從網誌長達兩星期沒有任何更動看出。
第一張照片，是要獻給Thomas，一位相識長達半輩子的朋友，
伴我從稚嫩的青年，到現今灰髮披肩的中年，
如今他即將開創自己的事業，謹在此獻上我最深的祝福。
滿滿一整碗的「大正金時」產自北海道，
當然不是我去買的，而是我最大貨源－我老媽，從日本買回來的，
她就像松鼠一樣，買了許多東西藏放在冰箱深處，
時日一久總是忘了自己買了些什麼東西，這時，
就是我去淘寶的時刻。即然給我看到了，怎麼輕易放過？
這大正金時到底有多大？
請出另一個也稱得上是人物的花豆來看看。
再請出另一號人物紅豆來看看。
笑翻了，那個臉皮皺成一團的花豆被紅豆笑到不行，
那個子小到可以的紅豆卻是不被花豆瞧在眼裡…
到最後，「大正金時」跳下來了…
（奇怪，明明是要寫祝福的話，卻變得像是食記，又像是kuso）
當然除了Thomas之後，還有其他的朋友，
只不過，我現在還找不到適當的物品來代替啦。
其實在我心裡，早把這些朋友視為家人…
結論是，千萬別輕易嘗試煮這些豆子，
不然瓦斯會用很兇的…
（又跳tone了）
