-2026.1.17-中午同學們聚餐後，逛逛蓮池潭真的是名符其實的"偽觀光客"。lol

『淺嚐舊情誼，一日輕鬆過。』

我們都已上了年紀，深知每見一次，也就相等於少一次。

I'm looking at the art from the Taiwanese edition, and thanks to a helpful reader I'm editing this and correcting myself - I kinda thought these all might be Chu Wanning? At different stages? And I was, ya know, sort of right, considering canon resemblances between characters...I guess I was legit to be confused, lmao...top row is Chu Lan and Chu Xun, bottom row is Chu Wanning and Song Qiutong (who I thought was supposed to more resemble Shi Mei? Am I misremembering? But regardless she looks like Chu Wanning here, right? Or is that just me? I'll have to figure out which of these other pics are actually Shi Mei before I can say for sure.)

Once upon a time 👆 When I was 18 yrs old. 💋 Today when I got home, I took a picture from one of my favorite photos by an old photo album.

近來，因著有些現實和比較想達成的夢想，所以我比較愛錢 lol, 比較沒那麼想要創作，🤓 幸好我的皮革客戶都不急，他們也都能理解，非常感謝。

作爲一個熟透了的女性，愛錢、會掙錢以及懂得如何找對方法爲了生存，全都是件好事；當然你最好也最大的底氣就是：

“你愛賺錢、會掙錢，卻也可以選擇～「我可以決定不做這一筆買賣」，我也不會餓死，更不會被不夠水平和沒品的買家拿捏和欺負。”

「君子愛財，取之有道。」 正是這個理。

所有在網路各大銷售平台的買家們，的確你買東西，喜歡殺價有其樂趣，但也得有品。面對你們這類人種，我不會生氣且我暗暗地偷笑😏，hehe 我不賣給你便是。😎

還有，今天我回家照顧阿茲海默症的老母親，望著她看著我的眼睛，但她卻不是跟我說話，她總是越來越頻繁的與另一個世界和不同時空的那些我們看不見的人(靈魂)說話，我知道那意謂著什麼，雖然我不害怕，可我的心低低沉沉的、偷偷地落淚 . . . 有一種很熟悉的感覺又回來了，就像那年父親去世時；其實"人活著真的沒什麼意思"。

(Also, today I went home to take care of my elderly mother who has Alzheimer's. Looking into her eyes, she wasn't talking to me. She's been talking more and more frequently to those unseen people (souls) in another world and different times and spaces. I know what that means. Although I'm not afraid, my heart sank and I secretly shed tears… A very familiar feeling returned, just like when my father passed away that year; actually, "life really doesn't have much meaning.")

愛情多惱河 (Demo)・熊天平

Demo 原始創作集-火柴天堂

愛情多惱河(The river of blue)

作詞:熊天平、許常德 作曲:熊天平

愛讓誰落淚 哭成流水 不知去向 往事在每一夜陪傷心人入睡

愛怎會疲憊 你一去不回 你的起點 也許是我永遠到不了的終點 讓我飄飄盪盪

我不停的追逐那黑色的幸福 就像是矇上眼睛 追逐你的路 我揚起萬千風帆告訴你我好孤單 在悠悠藍藍多煩惱多惱河

我企圖欺騙自己愛情沒有煩惱 只是你沒有目標 讓我迷失多惱河

《PART 2》 Done this work in 2021, 4 years ago. ◠‿◠

《Part 1》2026.6.22 我們給諾諾慶生 My daughter and I celebrated my son's birthday together at 永心浮島 YONSHIN FUDOPIA.

「你的孩子不是你的孩子」(Your children are not your children)

from《先知 The Prophet》- On Children 孩子 by Khalil Gibran 紀伯倫

你的孩子，並非你的孩子。 他們是生命自身的渴望所孕育的子女。 他們藉由你而來，卻非源自於你們。 他們雖與你同在，卻不屬於你。 你可以給予他們你的愛，卻不能給予他們你的思想， 因為他們有自己的思想。 你可以庇護他們的身體，而非他們的靈魂， 因為他們的靈魂屬於明日，就連你們夢中也無法到達的明日。 你們可努力仿效他們，而非試圖讓他們仿效你們。 因為生命不能倒退，也不會逗留在昨日。 你們就像是弓，你們的孩子則是發射出去往前飛的活生生的箭 弓箭手看見無盡旅途上的標靶 祂用力使你們彎曲，好讓祂的箭飛馳得又快又遠 好好享受在弓箭手的手中彎曲的樂趣吧 因為即便祂喜愛飛馳的箭，祂也喜愛穩定的弓

E -1)  我在整理照片/相簿-女兒看不同城市的視角 I'm organizing photos/albums - my daughter's perspectives on different cities.

2026.1.19~2026.1.24 上週我的女兒去西班牙塞維亞(Sevilla) & 西班牙格拉納達(Granada)旅行 From January 19th to January 24th, 2026, Last week my daughter traveled to Seville and Granada, Spain.

《遺傳基因》

從小我的母親就經常說我完全像我的父親，不僅只是長相還有個性，五湖四海一籮筐的朋友，她還說遺傳基因真的是妙透了，而孩子也絕對不可能跟別人偷生的。lol 那麼相對的我也無法逃避這一點的遺傳基因，關於我的女兒的長相，以及她在交友廣闊的個性。哈哈哈!!!

這次她去西班牙相片中的女性朋友，我問女兒: 與妳同行的那個朋友看起來像東南亞的女孩。她回答：「她是菲律賓人，在愛爾蘭長大。」 我的女兒從小開始交友她就沒有膚色和地域邦界的觀念，她有不少台灣原住民的好友，又她很喜歡學習不同國家的語文，我認為上帝應該在她出生之前就為她準備好一對翅膀，以助其展翅高飛，成就夢想。我真想念她!

《Genetic Inheritance》

From a young age, my mother often said I was exactly like my father, not only in appearance but also in personality, with a huge circle of friends from all over the world. She also said genetics are truly amazing, and you could never be born that children with another man lol. So, conversely, I can't escape this genetic trait either, regarding my daughter's appearance and her wide circle of friends same as mine. Hahaha!!!

This trip, in some photos of her female friend in Spain, I asked my daughter: "The friend you're with looks like a Southeast Asian girl." She replied, "She's Filipino and grew up in Ireland." My daughter has never had any concept of skin color or national boundaries when making friends. She has many Taiwanese aboriginal friends, and she loves learning different languages. I think God must have prepared a pair of wings for her before she was born, to help her soar high and achieve her dreams. I miss her so much!

我是著實為她感到驕傲和開心，作為任何一位母親看到女兒的茁壯成長，而且她能夠獨當一面、平安地旅居在世界各地，一邊工作一邊旅遊達成她的心願，夫復何求。感謝天主~*

To a stranger who claims to like my sharing and uses different accounts to visit my page in an attempt to gain my attention or get me to add them as a friend.

Hello

Sorry, I'm not sure if the likes and comments you left in the "My Comments" section below someone else's post were for me, 😆 I hope I haven't misunderstood; therefore, I'm replying to you by reposting it with this way, it can be shared on my own page, which makes me feel much more comfortable and easily. I agree with a quote from your shared the only one post: "…but if something is important enough, you keep going anyway. The goal isn't attention, it's impact." ( 「……但如果某件事足夠重要，你還是會堅持下去。目標不是博取關注，而是產生影響。」)

So, I want to emphasize:

My friends and teachers on various websites aren't about who gets attention or who gets followed; it's about who I personally identify with.

As for the people I follow on Tumblr, they are usually:

A) Users, who have been stayed here for many years; It must also be those friends who regularly update their posts and are willing to share their thoughts.

B) Users who share a vast and diverse collection of posts that offer me choices, learning opportunities, and enjoyment at this stage of my life.

C) Users I follow often "interact" with me, there's give and take, at least we know we're still connected;

D) I'm curious and want to know your definition of "friends" online. 😏 I think the hardest thing to maintain online is "friendship." Because You might talk to someone almost every day and follow each other, but that person you could considered a "friend" disappear in someday, and you can't even find their account. and then Don't you think Is there a friend or stranger?!

At last , in conclusion, I want to thank you for your most direct and kind message; I felt it. Being yourself, becoming the most influential person you can be in this world, is at least a plus. Don't make this world worse, because I still have two beloved children, and I even don't ready to die yet. 😎 Thank you 💐 ℒan~*

PS. I get a new leather work ordered from a new client, Job starting on these days.
