把拔節快樂；Happy Chinese Father's Day

小芥：這是昨天晚上右上劍潭山去拍的夕陽，不過由於下午之後天空就多了一層薄薄的雲，所以拍出來就沒有閃亮的河面了。有點可惜。只好等下次老天爺幫忙再上山。
Michico : Last night I climbing to the same hill I went 2 days ago to shoot sunset. But there are more clouds so the shoot result is not so well, I was hoping I can shoot shining river, but with clouds, the river only blue. I think I have to wait the chance to next time.
小芥：這是我喜歡的士林北區，不過我的方位還是取得不夠好，這裡還是看不到我家。但是可以看見我的辦公室了。
Michico : This is the north side of Taipei, but this spot still can't see my home, but my office building is in this photo~!
小芥：夜晚拍照的時候山路就是這樣暗暗的，有點恐怖。而且人很少很少。我這張快門有三十秒那麼長，也沒有人經過。我下山的時候有遇到小貓咪，有準備當初義工送給樂高的嬰兒罐頭給小貓咪吃。但是因為太暗我沒辦法拍下來，貓咪也很怕生。下次我再上來如果有遇到我再給貓咪吃罐頭了。
Michico : When I back home, the stairs on the hill is like this, very dark and almost no one. This photo my camera shutter is about 30 seconds, but there is no one coming in, so you can understand how quiet was there. When I leave the hill, there is a little kitten, and I have already prepare little kitty can for her, but it was too dark to shoot a moving kitten. Next time when I come up again, I will bring more food.
小芥：這個是沒有開燈的劍潭站，不知道好不好認，哈哈~~~
Michico : This is the nearest metro station near my home, but last night the station didn't open the big light, so it's not that good looking.
阿丹：啊，今天是父親節？不知道我的小孩過得怎樣了？有沒有想念我啊？
Adan : Today is Chinese- Father's day. August 8th read in Chinese is like BA-BA. Kind of like English's PA-PA. So we named this day for Father's day.
阿丹：今天是父親節，不知道阿公好不好？
Adan : Well, today is father's day, I am wondering how is my grandpa? I have to ask Michico call him.
阿丹：如果我的小孩有想念我的話，我過得很好啊。我有一個ok的父親節，頭套拿下來就更好了。
Adan : If my kid miss me, I think I am doing ok. I think my children are already have their children and their grandchildren now. I hope they are all good.
樂高：父親節？我怎麼知道我阿爹是誰啊？他把我扔在路邊就走了，還好我有被義工姨姨撿到，要不然怎麼跟我現在的碼麻在一起呢？
Lego : Father's day? How would I know who my father is? He abandoned me at street, luckly the cat shelter took me away and now I could have great Michico as my mommy!
樂高：祝福天下的父親都很快樂，大家都辛苦了。
Lego : Well, I wish every father in the whole could be very happy!

我住的城市；My City - Taipei

小芥：星期一傍晚，我發現天空有火燒雲，很嘔自己沒有拍到。昨天，背著腳架，就爬上了劍潭站後面的劍潭山。可惜，昨晚沒有像是前天那樣漂亮的火燒雲。我於是爬到劍潭山頂的觀景台，架了腳架，拍我住的城市。其實剛下班就立刻徒步跑到山上，真的很瘋狂也很累，但這也是我住的城市可愛的地方。山就在附近，美景就在附近。
Michico : Last night, after work, I carry my Camera & Tripods rushing to a hill very near my office, the hill is just behine the nearest station by my home. I hurry went to the top observatory and started shooting my city. Because last night the weather was great. And here are the photos I like sharing with you. The city I live - Taipei is a basin, there are lots of mountains and hills around Taipei. I like it, because it's easier for us to watch our city from the top. And it's beautiful!
小芥：我喜歡台北，我喜歡她是個盆地。因為你只要爬上山，整個城市的發光你都可以看見。而且山很近、城市的光也很近。如果我今天住在一望無際的平原，也許我的視線會很遼闊，但是我沒有地方可以爬上去拍我住的城市，我想我會有點遺憾。
Michico : If I want to see the place I live, just go to the top of hill, I can easily do some exercise and have great view. If Taipei is peneplain then I have to use helicopter to watch it's beauty. So basin is good for me, for Taipei.
小芥：昨晚的劍潭山很安靜，劍潭山一向是比較安靜的，如果要攝影101加上台北市想要找人聊天，那就得爬上象山或是虎山，那麼你一定可以跟攝影的同好聊心得聊得很開心。昨晚，入夜後有一位老先生也一起來跟我拍台北市。如果你喜歡背著腳架跟我一起看台北，那麼你週遭永遠有同伴，不會寂寞。
Michico : Last night, this hill is very quiet. I breath with my City. Later, an old men join me for photoshoot. I think I like this feeling, at here, you will never alone while you are shooting, there is always someone on your interest path.
小芥：我住的士林在後面，但是因為劍潭山走道安排的關係，我沒有辦法繞到後面去拍攝，等我下次找另外一個時間，找到一個空位來拍我更愛的士林和淡水河吧。我喜歡拍大安區、信義區，因為那是我從小長大的地方。但是我一定也要拍士林和北邊，因為那是我和阿丹、樂高現在快樂生活的地方。
Michico : Actually this is the south side of Taipei, next time I will shoot the north side of Taipei, and you can see the house that I live. And also have Adan and Lego there~!
小芥：七夕就快到了。不知道101會有什麼圖案呢？謝謝妳了劍潭山，我很快又會來陪妳的。
Michico : I will be photo another side soon, just waiting another great weather~! I hope you all like these photos~!

小芥：至於不小心刮傷「那根」的阿丹呢？滿臉不爽，哈。今天用衛生紙按一按，阿丹那邊沒有流血了，所以真的是外傷囉。請大家安心。
Michico : How about our little baby Adan, well. He is not happy, but I check very carefully, his manhood is not bleeding anymore and he is doing ok. It's really a small trauma. These days I will force Adan drinks more water, it will be good for him, too.
小芥：小朋友滿臉不開心，可是也沒辦法，看見他這樣好心疼喔~~~~
Michico : See how unhappy he is? I feel bad about it as well, but I have to let him wear this collar for few days~!
小芥：乖巧丹，快點好起來喔。別擔心姨姨在這邊一直陪你喔!!
Michico : Cute lovely Adan-dan, please get well soon. I am here all be with you!!!

秘密房間，Secret Room

跟你們說，姨姨有個秘密的房間，可是平時是沒有人看得到這個房間的，今天我偷偷介紹給你們看。
Hey guys, michico has a secret room. But in normal time, no one could see this room. Today, I gonna introduce to you, my friends~!
跟我來~!
Come with me~!

這個是秘密房間的入口~!

This is the entrance of michico' secret room~!

這個房間很小，可是擺滿了姨姨的東西，不過小姨姨和阿公也有偷偷塞一點東西進來。

This room is very small, but it's fall of Michico's stuff. But Toshie aunite and grandpa also put something in here.
看見這個很大的書櫃了嗎？這全部都是大姨姨開始有自己的零用錢和自己賺錢後，瘋狂買進書，非常多對吧(這只有一半)~! 姨姨喜歡塞在這邊花很長的時間閱讀，聽一點音樂，這樣度過下午。
See this huge bookcase? These are michico's book. Since she has her pocket money and make money by her own. She started to buy these books, so so much right(this is only half part)? Michico loves staying here spend a afternoon reading, listen some music~!

這個鋼琴比姨姨還要老，你們一定在猜我會不會彈鋼琴吧？
This piano is much older than michico, you guy must be guess do I play piano?

這個嘛...

Well...

我不是個好的學生，我坐不住，每次練琴一下子我就會跳到鋼琴上面，所以我一直都沒有好好練習。

I am not a very good student, I can't sit still on the chair. Eveytime I practice piano for a while, I will jump on the piano and play with bears and duck, so I am not a patient student.

我想我要成為鋼琴家還有好一陣子。

I guess there is still a long distance to be a pianist for me.
現在這個房間也變成我秘密練習成為鋼琴家的房間了。

Right now this room also become a secret room for me to let me practicing piano.

麥克Mike週，送別和最後的訪問，Leaving and Mike's Interview Questions12~20/20

小芥︰昨天晚上小麥克第一次到士林夜市，也就是最靠近阿丹住的地方(走路不到五分鐘就到了)。士林夜市幾乎是外國人一定要來的台灣觀光景點，這個地方竟然是台灣票選觀光勝地第一名。我知道的時候也是很訝異。但是每天晚上看到一堆外國人是事實。
michico : Last night, I took Mike to Shihlin Night Market, this is the place nearest Adan's place, ShihLin Night Market is the one that tourist must come through, it is the No.1 famous Taiwan spot in Tourist heart. When I first know this record, I am also surprised, but it's true. There are tourists here everynight~!


那就請麥克繼續最後的訪問吧：
Then, let's invite Mike doing the last interview questions to Adan :
12. 你們的城市看起來很棒，告訴我一些你們家這裡的天氣還有環境，你們家附近有些什麼特色？
特色是士林夜市在附近，吃東西方便，天氣的話因為附近有山所以會擋住東北季風，跟台北市其他地方比起來比較不容易下雨。
12. You have a very nice place here; tell me about your weather and your surroundings, what is it like outside your house? (Mountains, seaside, desert, woods, etc.)
Adan : The features are there are night market next to our house, so people eating things are easier and convenient, and there is a mountain next to ShihLin, so, it hold some monsoon, not easy to get rain. And let me show you the night market near my house, this is our surrounding.
This is the night market at evening :
Mike at the Night Market's temple.
This is Night Market at night, Mike is very surpised, there are so many people~!
Hey Mike, stay close with Michico~!
這是士林很有名的豪大大雞排，很長的排隊隊伍，有看到有一個女生抱著狗狗在排隊嘛？
This is the most famous fried Chicken in ShihLin, there is always a long long line here, do you see a girl holding her doggie waiting for the fried Chicken? Michico brought me one to eat, it's really good, it's juicy and great taste~!

胡椒餅也很有名，總是一直在排隊。
This Pepper Pasty is also very famous, there is always line up, too. See the right side that foreign tourist? Michico also brought me this to eat, the Pasty-skin is very crisp, and inside the beef and green onion is awesome~!

水煎包也是很多人，總之就是一堆人。
This is Water fry-fun, it's always lots of people as well, Michico also brought one for me, the stuffings inside is vegetable and pork, that is very very delicious~!

★★★★★

13. 你是個戶外的貓咪或者是你是個室內的貓咪呢？室內貓，我很怕去外面的。
13. Are you an inside only cat or do you get to go outside?
Adan : I am an inside cat, I am afraid of going outside.

14. 請問你有對你的飼主保留一些秘密嗎？有時候我和Gretchen會秘密進行一些事情嚇到她媽媽，你會做一些類似會嚇到你的人類的事情嗎？
其實很難，不過我盡量努力，我喜歡在媽咪和姨姨洗澡時坐在門口，這樣她們洗澡出來看到我就會嚇到，我就會很開心。
14. Do you keep secrets from your beans? Sometimes Gretchen and I conspire against her mom bean in the middle of the night. It really freaks her out. Do you do things like that?
There are not many things I can keep secrets, but I try. Sometimes I do something interesting, like I love stay in front of bathroom's door while Michico or Pamilla mommy is taking bath. After they open the door and seeing me they will surprised, or shock, that will make me happy.

15. 你有沒有偷偷隱藏一些你的天賦呢？
其實我有心靈感應~!
15. Have you been gifted with any hidden talents?
I think I have telepathy. Hehehehehe~!

16. 你們家有沒有讓你困擾的地方？或者是你害怕什麼呢？
困擾就是我很想要打開每一個抽屜然後進去探險，但是我害怕被馬咪還有姨姨罵。
16. Is there anything in your house that bothers you? That you're afraid of?
Oah, Yes. I like to open every drawers in my house and adventure, it really bothers me that I can't get inside every drawer. But I am afraid of when I get in, Pamilla and Michico will displease~! There are some place I am not allowed to go.

17. 你會偷偷靠近還有捕捉活生生的生物像是老鼠還是蜘蛛還是別的？你會偷偷去捕捉它們嗎？或者是其他類似的什麼生物？
我會抓一些小蟲，但是我們家很少有蜘蛛，老鼠就更不可能了，只要我有看見而且姨姨沒有搶先我一步發現的蟲我都會去抓。
17. Do you stalk and capture real live critters like mice, spiders and stuff? What kinds of critters do you stalk? Do you eat what you catch?
Well, I catch some bugs, yes. But there are no mice in my house, a little few spiders and tiny one, if Michico didn't see bugs before me, I usually catch them for fun.

18. 你有兄弟姊妹或者是任何跟你一起居住的寵物嗎？你跟他們如何相處呢？
我現在是獨居的貓，不過我有一隻烏龜阿修羅。

Mike : I will~!

麥克Mike週：極簡行，to Minimal cafe

First of all, today is BOY's 14 years old birthday, let's go to his Birthday party~!!!!!

若有人不知道為何本月10~17號為何有Mike玩偶在圖片中，請參考本部落格右上角說明~! Learn more things about MIKE in here 。
小芥：昨晚，帶著麥克去極簡咖啡(要看之前寫過的極簡文章到這)，在瘋狂跑台北之後，來到這個令人沉澱的美麗貓咪咖啡店~!
Michico : Last night, I brought Mike to Minimal Cafe(you can see here to see last Minimal Cafe post), after a Big trip yesterday, today I let Mike come to a relax atmosphere with fall of Cats.

小芥：極簡咖啡是我最喜歡的貓咪咖啡店。她有著跟其他貓咪咖啡店不同的氛圍，幽暗的燈光讓貓咪感受到平靜以及舒服。深沉的顏色一進去也會跟著穩定下來。我喜歡去任何一家貓咪的店，但是也唯有極簡讓我流連忘返。老闆娘也同時照顧了很多師大夜市附近的街貓，十分辛苦。也有很多人會把棄養的貓連籠子放在店門口請求收留。極簡的貓咪人口眾多，不過貓都有她們自己的生活方式，老闆娘也盡期所能的仔細照顧。

一個人的力量有限，加上員工還有配合的醫師力量也有限，老闆娘常常會遇到很多傷心無力的貓咪生老病死，但是因為有了貓咪讓人喜悅，她和所有極簡的工作夥伴一起努力打拼，今年年底因為租約等種種關係應該會進行搬遷。老闆娘表示為了附近的街貓還有工作夥伴交通等問題會盡量還是在附近找到空間營業。如果可以幫忙我也願意幫忙老闆娘一些可以做一點簡單的義賣。

Michico : Minimal Cafe is my favorite cats cafe, there are lots of cat cafes in Taiwan, but this one is my favorite. This cafe has very unique atmosphere here. Dark light let cats feel calm and comfy. Dark interior design let people go inside will also feel peace. I love going any store of cats, but only Minimal cafe will let me go and go again. Cafe's owner also taking care many street cats around this cafe shop, she is working very hard, also some people put their cat into the cage and abandon in front of Minimal Cafe ask owner to keep them. There are lots of cats in Minimal Cafe, each of them has their own life style.

One person's ability has it's limited, plus staffs' and vets abilities also have limited. Minimal cafe's owner often experience cat's birth, sick, old and died...But because cats makes people joy, so she and her staffs work very hard to keep these cats safe. At the end of 2007, because of rent, Minimal Cafe will move, but cafe owner said she will move to a place very near here, for street cats around here and also for her staffs' transportaion issue. I also will attend Minimal Cafe some charity-bazaars, I will see what I could do.

麥克：這隻貓聽說是極簡的店貓，她很溫和也會幫老闆娘招呼客人非常親人。
Mike：This cat is Minimal Cafe's main cat, she is very tenderness and helping cafe's owner take care all the customer, she is nice to every visitor~! She is very nice to ME~!

麥克：咖啡機上面非常的溫暖，是最棒的暖爐。
Mike：Coffee machine is very very warm, it's the best heater to cats.

(亦可在這看，also could see album here)
以下是這次咖啡店的幻燈片：
Here is the slide show of last night Minimal Cafe：

麥克：離開極簡後我們經過師大夜市，好多店裡面都有貓咪，看看這家精品店有兩隻貓咪在為對方洗澡真甜蜜。

Mike : After leaving Minimal Cafe we went through the night market near there, there are lots of stores has cats inside, look~! There are 2 cats in that boutique and bathing to each other, how sweet~!

麥克 : 美髮沙龍也有店貓~!

Mike : Hair-Salon also have shop cat inside~!

麥克：噢不是兩隻~!

Mike：Oah, make it 2~!!

麥克：台北(台灣處處有愛貓的角落喔)也是個愛貓的城市，可以來這邊真好~!

Mike：Taipei (there are many spots in Taiwan also could find cats lovers~!)is a city loving cats very much, it's so nice to be here.

★★★★★★★★★★★回家後back home★★★★★★★★★★

小芥：每次從極簡回家我都會先把衣服都拖掉洗手等等等才開門讓阿丹(他是個大醋醰啊，身上其他貓味太重他會對我冷戰)從我房間出來，因為他的表情就是：「說！你去跟哪個貓咪鬼混了，妳只能愛我一個妳不能出軌」XD~~ 所以要把身上的味道掩滅乾淨，不過還是會被抓包。挖哈，這時候安撫的動作是很重要的。阿丹小親乖，我真的最愛你拉~!
Michico：Everytime I back from Minimal Cafe, I always take off my clothes and washed my hands and clean my bags, then open the bedroom door to let Adan gets out, because Adan is a super jealous guy~~, if he finds there are two many strong cats smell on my clothes, he will be angry to me a hour at least, so this cleaning procedure is very important, hahahaha~! But Adan is very clever, he always could detect something, so, right now conciliation is also very important~! Adan, I really love you the best, not to worry at all~!

麥克Mike週，101和美麗華，crazy tour - Taipei 101 and Big Wheel
