It's life, but not as we know it.

 荒廢了超久的部落格，2015新春第一炮就獻給了MINON煽火文！

MINON (ミノン　アミノモイスト)這個牌子是我來日本以後才認識的，

一開始被廣告打的「專為乾燥 敏感肌設計」賣點燒到，在店內試用後立馬搬回家。

20歲出頭的我當時沉迷於美白迷思，忽略了保濕的重要性，

殊不知乾燥才是造成肌膚老化的終極刺客！ (其實還有防曬啦)

I’ve officially moved to Japan for more than a week now. I think I should probably start writing some posts before my blog gets spider web lol.

搬來日本已經超過一個禮拜了，我想應該要開始寫些文章要不然部落格都長蜘蛛網了哈哈。

First of all, I want to talk about language, which is the biggest challenge for me at this point. I thought my Japanese speaking and listening ability is considered okay for daily conversation level. However, once I got here, I realized that it’s totally not like that.

首先，我想來談談語言這部分，因為對我來說這是現階段最大的難關，我以為自己的日常日文聽說能力是還不錯的，可是當我搬來這裡以後，我才深刻地了解到完全不是這麼回事。

The biggest problem is that I’m afraid to speak in Japanese, just like many English-learners in Taiwan are afraid to speak in English. No matter what language you’re trying to practice speaking, I guess it’s more of a mental thing rather than your actual speaking competency. When talking to a native speaker whom you just met, those who don’t speak the language that well definitely feel a sense of insecurity. I think I just have to be bold and don’t be afraid of making mistakes.

 今天想介紹去年發現的好用刷具：Real Techniques!

之前發現ULTA網站買一送一我就滑鼠按下去了…買一送一真的非常划算!!!!

一用就讓我驚呼相見恨晚，以前逛ULTA跟Target真的是逛假的…

以下是鄭經的介紹文

Real Techniques是由住在倫敦的Chapman姊妹(Sam&Nic)所設計的平價刷具，Chapman姊妹的美妝頻道Pixiwoo在網路美妝界可說是無人不知，無人不曉，如果說美國的美妝部落客代表是Michelle Phan，英國的代表就是Pixiwoo了!

今天要介紹的動畫名言來自初代鋼彈(ガンダム)的主角─阿姆羅‧雷(アムロ・レイ/Amuro Ray)!

 「親父にもぶたれたことないのに！」

機動戰士鋼彈第九話「飛翔吧！鋼彈」中，阿姆羅拒絕駕駛鋼彈出擊的態度惹惱了上尉布萊德(ブライト/Bright)，布萊德憤而揍了阿姆羅兩拳之後，阿姆羅吐出了流傳永世的名言：

This famous quote is taken from the ninth episode (“Fly! Gundam”) of the very first Gundam series. In this episode, annoyed by Amuro’s unwillingness to pilot the RX-78-2 Gundam, Bright slapped Amuro in the face twice, and there goes one of the most well-known quotes from the entire series:

「親父(オヤジ)にもぶたれたことないのに！」

貝爾少爺(Christian Bale)跟老雷(Ridley Scott)的組合讓人好期待啊~~<3

(貝貝少爺就算畫了眼線還是很帥)

預告片的歌曲是美國歌手Sydney Wayser所唱的〈Belfast Child〉：It's lengen....wait for it....dary!!!!

(The trailer and all the pictures belong to 20th Century Fox.)

預告片的台詞很少，所以可以來試翻看看哈哈，朋友們如果有翻譯上的建議歡迎留言討論！

我是一個不太會做菜的人，平常喜歡讀一些料理白癡都看得懂的食譜，或是看著Masa主廚的鋼彈，啊不，是食譜，一步一步地做。

大學時代的我曾經直接將乾米粉加醋放進鍋裡大火快炒，以為這樣就能生出一鍋美味的炒米粉，向我的外國友人宣揚台灣美食的好，可惜現實總是殘酷的，我的美食外交計畫也失敗了。

手殘如我，都能做出這道料理了，推薦朋友們有空能試做看看這道：藍莓起司口味法式吐司佐新鮮香蕉切片。Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast with banana slices

以下是比鄭經還正經的流水帳食譜

●食材準備：(1人份)                                                      

I decided to make my very first post extremely (1) boring, (2) uninformational and (3) uneducational (is this even grammatically correct?), 

so if you don't want to spend the next 60 seconds reading a boring post, I strongly suggest you to click that red cross on the top right corner of this window right now.

So the last time I actually did something about my blog was like more than seven years ago, and that was when wretch was still a thing in Taiwan. Everybody suddenly felt empowered to something becasue they had their own personal platform to show the world who they were. As for me, I just used it as my e-diary. Yup, only stupid teenagers would do that, and I was one of those stupid teenagers lol. But hey, who cares? People can always choose not to read it.

The reason why I decided to start writing again is because I want to force myself to write more in all the languages I've learned. (I believe you should have an idea about how bad my writing skill is by now.)

Yeah...anyways, I'll wrap it up by introducing one of my favorite quotes of all time: 一期一会（いちごいちえ）
