I'm in a bad mood.

Two Dutch in the kitchen, three Spanish sitting on the couch now, they're talking in their own language and they're driving me crazy.

Today I was pissed off again by black skin people today. I wanted to say to them that if you don't work, please don't stand on the way. Go home. No one's gonna give you a penny. But then I don't know how to say that in french so I ended up making no response to them(that means I hate you) and left.

No guests with common topic but a lot cute babies today. Their smiles really could make me happy.

Then after, the kitten I fed the other day came in our apt with my housemate. It was fearless and approached to everyone. Cute but I can felt that it needs its Mom.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Met a guest when I'm off from work at the hotel lobby. He recognized me as I was serving around his table this morning. And since he's speaking English to me, I'm like "話夾子都開了" having a long conversation with him(and his daughter sitting in the baby cart). So we had a talk about traveling and he said he would like to come visit Taiwan some time. He's been to Thailand and Singapore and more like a person who's deeply into Asia and its culture. Also a reason why he loves Asia so much is that he's a diver coach, he travels and dives with his friends in those places and also makes money for the journey in the same time. Quite smart though. We said goodbye to each other at TGV Station but now I regretted that I didn't ask for his contact. So I hope I'll accidentally meet him somewhere in Taiwan next year.

Oh btw, he's half German and half Irish, and he married a French girl but they're living in Spain now. Imagine how many languages they can speak and how their daughters can become some competitive person in the future. In Chinese we say, "贏在起跑點之前".

Earlier this morning at 5h30. Alarm went off and I didn't even want to get out of my bed.
Well, but I did.
So that's how it changed a person's life and attitude when he/she has responsibility, which is like, to work. And it was not bad at all cuz I saw the first snow!

Please watch your personal belongings.

So it was last night on the way back home.
I was sitting in the metro right next to the door. I saw a girl talking with a boy then he left while the door's about to close. I sensed some bad things gonna happen, then I heard some man's shouting in some foreign language that I've never heard before. There, I saw a robbery right happened in front of my face. The boy was not well-skilled so he got caught and I did some help cuz I stretched my legs crossing the aisle, so he was stumbled by stepping on my suede leather shoes.

He was crying, and the girl that I think might be his sister was caught as well. At the moment I felt pity for both of them.

We love Lanvin.

The collaboration between Lanvin and H&M was released yesterday at 8h. Was not in a rush to check the items since I've already bought something from London. So I went today just to see if there's anything left. Nothing left except big sizes in the first store(there are only 4 stores selling the collection in Paris), so as the second one. Then I decided to head to the flagship on Champs-Élysées, and it proved that I'm right. In this store, they have more in stock and also in my size. So I wasn't planning to get anything and just to check some items for my friend. But as you're doing a favor like this, it always ended up buying something else for yourself as well. Okay, I got two shirts(which is a real bargain cuz I'm always in need of shirts).

I didn't get what my friend wants in the end but did another favor for another friend in London. And of course it's also selling in London, however it's all running out already. But then we figured out the reason why it goes so fast, that is, the shirt I bought for him is more expensive then the selling price in London. Good job, French.

Other than that, while I was walking on the street, I accidentally saw some stain on the shirt. Then I found out it was a faulty. There, I headed back to Champs-Élysées and made an exchange which was not quite pleasant cuz the clerk was questioning me of the torn spot. And yet in the store, the speaker's saying "To avoid waiting for the fitting room, we have a 30-day exchange policy."

IRONIC.

Illuminations des Champs-Élyseés 2010.

Last night was the night to light-up Christmas lights in Paris. The ceremony was scheduled at 18h sharp but it was 15 mins delayed. The ceremony was nothing special but I would say that when it all lights up on Champs-Élyseés, it makes a quite beautiful picture from Place de l'Étoile to Place de la Concorde.

Work wasn't going well the past week, but with a night out in Paris, I soon forgot all the unhappy things.

Small spoons are just right next to yogurt.

"Excusez-moi, où sont les petites cuillères? Cucharas pequeñas? Excuse me, where are the small spoons?"

Frequently asked question in the morning in French, Spanish and English. And I just don't understand where the guests put their eyes on?

Things wasn't going smoothly recently, internship became boring and the weather sucks. Thing's been bothering me is that to extend my residence card is like a mission impossible because I'm dealing with french people. The plan b is to apply for a new student visa(which I'll have to pay another 55 euros again to get my new residence card instead of 30 to renew it) again back in Taiwan but it will take more than a month for the process which means I will not make in on time for the first semester.
And since I went to London last week, some views have been changed for me staying in Paris or going to London.

But then I was thinking that should I get a job and work for a year to save some money first?

I am 'bout to EXPLODE.

The ladybug dance.

She stayed on my left thigh and when I was trying to get rid of her, she danced.

They say it's a sign of love.

So I spent the night and had a lovely omelette for dinner.
