結婚‧喜宴‧應該是小倆口的場吧!?
10月底、11月初是結婚的好日子，老爸的好友們的女兒都選這時間嫁娶，前個週末連續兩天都有喜宴，老爸的朋友十分熱情，除了發放喜帖外，還來電親約全家蒞臨，老爸下命令要我兩場選一場參加，著實讓我為難，心底不免低咕這邀約就是在湊桌數麻。
舉辦週六那場喜宴的伯父是老爸相交數十年的好友，我也挺熟識他說，在美國那段時間，伯父伯母還從W. Virginia開車到Philadelphia來找我，代替老爸老媽來照顧我，其舉動讓我那受人一分必還人十分的老爸到現在都感恩並且持續回報中；週日那場的伯父我不太熟識，只有前年家族旅遊到台東十里石山，伯父伯母有參加。
老實說，即使跟伯父伯母們熟又如何，她們的女兒們我可能數年才看過一次，在街頭上擦肩而過也認不出對方，而她們的婚禮之於我又何干呢? 如果有好男好女聯誼會讓就另當別論囉~
這又讓我想起去年年底與我頗有交情的同事結婚，席開50桌，我與我老闆都無法參加，那時我去香港旅遊，我老闆回瑞士過X'mas，休假前，他問那將辦婚宴的同事，會有多少人參加，我同事回約500個人，我老闆有點嚇到且不可置信的說" Do you really know each of them??" 我同事回"Actually, no. Some are the friends of my parents'. " 我老闆還是無法相信的看著我，我只能說"Parents usually invite their friends to join the wedding banquet to celebrate together.This is Taiwanese custom. " 我想真的只能用台灣人的習俗來做解釋囉~
最後，我選擇週日那場喜宴，參加熟識的伯父母那場會讓我有說不出的壓力，逼婚的壓力、比較的壓力(這來自我父母)，還有必須socilize的壓力，週日這場因為不熟，他們也不可能催我何時結婚之類的，就當去吃一頓免費的午餐~
後記：
A. 遠住W. Virginia的伯父母於當日發現我沒來參加，十分失望(我被老爸唸到臭頭)，還落話說，我結婚時一定要留一桌給他們，全家大小都會攜帶來參加，老爸阿莎力的當場允諾；老媽回來轉述，我十分大方說" 沒問題!! 不差這一桌~" 想想，挺矛盾...那是我的婚禮，他們女兒及女婿我又不認識，為什麼要邀約他們? 但既然我不介意邀約闔家蒞臨，為何又如此排斥參加他們喜宴? 還是我濳意識裡就是想湊"桌數"?
B. 參加週日那場婚禮，新郎新娘逐桌敬酒&送客時，我心理無不幫他們O.S.+ 情境模擬如下：
新郎嘴帶微笑，低問： "這女的是誰?是你那邊的親朋好友嗎?妳認識嗎? "
新娘詫異回看新郎："ㄟ~我以為是你那邊的親朋好友呢!!"
兩人互看："那她是誰?? "
我老神在在回 "喔~我是新娘爸爸好友的女兒..." 看這回答，這關係扯的還真遠!

Busy‧busy‧ busy early Nov.
Until now, finally I breathed a sigh of relief. Lots of evnets came up this early 2 weeks of Nov.
- Family Day (normal, as one of organizers, I have no choice to spend some times on this)
- CFO, Asia Pacific, my boss' boss, visits TW ( super super important, treated as a top assignment)
- Others
Before his arrival, some arrangements to be made, materials to be prepared, the presentation to be done well and in time. These were driving me crazy and almost killing me.
No menton the dinner w/"honchoes" at People(人間) last night. Sigh~ I'd never ever learn to decline DW's invitation. God knows when the date comes...hee~ Well~ so far, hard to express my feelings for the night... suffering and a slight exciting existed.
TD, my boss' boss, is quite a good and funny guy. A little bit like to make jokes at me and chat w/me. God knows again how much I eager to sit there, only keep smiling & eating, eating & smiling, no chating during the dinner, but it's dashed. (BTW, sooo regrettable that I haven't drank any glass of wine, El Coto, for a private reason.)
Continuous Qs he brought up were really got me.. the dinner what I had just like a brain-storming activity, Qs about how to run a company, how to lead a company to a brilliant future. Bet you that answers I replied are really sucks! Dare not to cast the answers back now!
Surely would keep the unforgettable dinner/experience in my mind and remind myself of improving on the perfect social rhetoric all the time~

幸福空間
東森綜合台-幸福空間是我最愛節目之一，不同設計師所呈現的室內裝潢風格、動線設計、概念表達及貼心收納空間往往迥異，很喜歡看設計師裝潢完成後所想要呈現"家"的概念，當然，也提供我一些設計的想法，若我擁有一間房，我將如何如何的裝潢及美化它。
週五，老哥來電告知，幸福空間這禮拜日晚上會播出上個禮拜他接受採訪的作品，想當初，他為了這採訪還特地減肥，只為上鏡頭好看些；這天，全家人齊聚一堂就只為了看他接受採訪的作品和內容，當鏡頭一帶出他的身影及作品，全家尖叫及笑意不斷，真是替他感到驕傲!! 雖然事前減肥沒多大成效，但是還是挺上相的~ 哈~真替他開心!!
