二月份的新假期：家庭日．與美國的President Day同一天．暫不論這天假期無端端為加拿大帶來的經濟損失有多大．打工仔的我，有假期放，當然開心．更何況公司八成的客人都是美國的．剛好你休息我也關門．皆大歡喜．有在看這個部落格的人，可能有點奇怪，為甚麼我會放一張＂After Divorce Mints＂的照片上來．其實，除了是因為它＂抵死＂之外，更是因為我在星期五終於結束了這長達三年多的關係－勞資關係．一月份的時候我把我想辭職的意願告訴了老闆．畢竟在那裡工作了三年多了，我學到很多，也很開心認識到一群好玩的好同事．不想因為我的離去，讓同事們承受不必要的負擔．星期五，我終於正式的遞上辭職信，一個月後的今天，我應該已暫時卸下這盔甲．
現在，心情比較平靜．到Bayview Village逛街，他們今天有Heritage Antique Market，結果買了九對vintage耳環．（不要以為我是購物狂，只是因為價錢實在是太吸引了．）可能是因為G，越來越喜歡舊東西，人棄我取，各得其所．有些保養得好，款式經典．但需要耐心去找尋．找到了，可以開心一整天．還有，因為是易手的東西，不用給稅．回家，才發覺我這些說多不多說少不少的耳環，很難處理．把它們放在桌面上嘛，又佔地方又不好保養；把它們放到袋子裡又很難選戴．靈機一觸，利用家裡的廢物造了這個耳環箱子．
這個週末，暫停了一堂游泳課．實在是不太舒服，身心疲憊．本來想在這個週末跟大家慶祝一下生日，也結果沒搞成．其實，美其名是生日會，只是想透透氣，看看朋友們．但如果是我自己的生日，總會有壓力，要大家盡興而歸．就是這樣．．．
今天做了一些很少做的事情－在＂臉書＂網站上載了一些跟朋友合照的舊相片．如果你有留意，你會發覺我絕少在這裡或是在公眾的網站發放我自己或我朋友的照片．我覺得那是對他們私隱的尊重；不是每個人都喜歡給其他人瀏覽／知道的．最重要的是，我常常都是＂對事不對人＂－拍照的主題都是食物／死物．有一個朋友曾經對此有點不滿－因為人總比死物重要．那時侯我覺得沒甚麼．反正我喜歡，而且一定有其他人拍人物照的．如果替其他人拍照的話，我一定會把照片share給相中人．有這原則，又拍照多，結果以前我就常常弄到自己忙上加忙．今天在看這兩年來拍的照片，越來越少人．反而看著食物，我會想到那一頓飯是跟誰吃的．好像有點不正常的．（疑惑）．好像聽到一段音樂就想到電影裡的情節．（好像還好，也不是太不正常）．但是今天，我突然覺得，我是懷念我們當時的表情的．如果有拍下來的話，應該比淨看著食物好．（微笑）
哇~ 很棒的盒子~ i think i need one of those too~
i have stopped buying vintage ear rings as most of them irritate my skin.
因為買了不能戴 令人好生氣~
would love to get silver vintage ear rings but i don see them around at all.
now im into bracelets
=)
speaking of taking pictures of food…
i never get to take pictures of them. because when the food is served, i always dig in straight away.
all i can think of is “Foooood…. eeeat… yummmmm”
maybe next time you should shoot me eating.
=P
Hey G!!!
I know… I just tried on several ones and I think my ears are a bit irritated too… darn! I thought I couldn’t wear those “pin-through” ones, but now I can’t even wear the clip-on ones! Grrrr. I’ll test all of them and see. People said if you put on a coat of clear nail polish, it’ll be ok. I think we should try.
Yah! Make a box for your jewellery! I think it’s good recycle of paper. Food~~ Yah I’m gonna take more pictures of people from now on.
Too be honest, I think the “vintage” ear rings are too dirty to put on. My ears are quity sensitive too. Aiya~~~don’t put them on.
btw, the box for the earrings are amazing!
Yup. That’s true, but I guess it should be ok (hopefully) since I’ve cleaned everything with alcohol and put a coat of nail polish on.
how much were the earrings? thinking of checking it out next time.
Hey Sandy, those earrings cost about $2-5/pair. The Heritage Antique Market is held 7 times per year:
January 1/ February 18/ March 23/ May 19/ July 1/ September 1/ October 13.
