點滴31 Sharing 31: 倒數月歷 Advent Calendar

12月頭，收到一樣叫Advent Calendar的東西，從來未接觸過，不知甚麼葫蘆賣甚麼藥。每個Advent Calendar 包含24份小禮物，可以是糖果，零食或任何你想送的物件，由12月1日起每天拆開1份，直至24號，目的是倒數平安夜的來臨。聽說歐洲很普遍，給小朋友帶來歡樂及聖誕的期待。
In the beginning of December,  I received something called Advent Calendar. To be honest,  I never heard of it.  Every Advent Calendar contains 24 items.  It could be candies,  snacks or whatever you want to gift.  You open one each starting from 1 Dec until 24 Dec.  It aimed to count down to Christmas.  It is a common idea in Europe.  Parents get this to the kids,  so they will look forward to the coming of Christmas and also bringing the joy.

點滴29 Sharing 29: 親密情人 Intimated Couple

實不相瞞，我認為每對情人總有一天彼此的關係會變得更親密，大家在對方面前表露無遺，最真的一面呈現於眼前。如果大家是同居關係，相信見識對方另一面更多。

Honestly, I believed that every couple will ultimately become close to each other, having intimate relationships. You are not only open your heart to him/her, but also expose the REAL YOU in front of each other. If you are cohabitant, you will be able to see and experience more of your other half.

久而久之，你眼前這個人跟初相識時很不一樣，以前他不會只穿內褲屋裡走；以前她會化妝跟我約會；以前他不會在我面前放屁；以前她一定會清理體毛；以前他不會挖鼻孔；以前她吃飯後打嗝會不好意思….....現在！？你懂的！

As times goes by, you realised the person in front of you is a bit difference from the one you first met. In the past, he will not walking around the house with only the underpants on; she will never go out with you without make-up; he will never fart in front of you; she would definitely clear her body hair; he will not pick the nose; she used to feel sorry if she burp after a meal.... but NOW?!?!? You should understand!

當看見對方做出不能忍受的行為時，會毫不猶豫直斥其非，或面露難色感到無奈。就好像那次我和Moritz到了台北陽明山，天氣突然變差，下起又密又細的雨，不時括起大風，很快鞋和襪已經濕透，很不舒服。晚上在巴士回程途中，坐在旁邊的Moritz突然說：『這輛巴士有陣怪味！』。這麼一句令我心情十五十六，如果我和應他，回到酒店房間後他最終會發現真相；但如果告訴他真相的確令我很尷尬…... 猶豫了一會…...醜婦終需見家翁…... 還是決定坦白，我對他說：『應該是我雙腳…...』。之後他說了什麼已經忘記了，只記得他表情帶點驚訝，然後下車第一時間他語帶滿足的說『新鮮的空氣』。

When you see he/she did something unbearable, you would immediately address it without hesitation or showing it on your face. It reminds me one time Moritz and I went to Yang Ming Shan, Taiwan. Without any expectation or preparation, the weather turned really bad. Little rain started and became windy. My shoes and socks were totoally wet and soaked with water. Apparently I did not feel comfortable. At night, while we were taking bus back to the hotel, Moritz sitting next to me said "This bus smells bad!". This 4-word sentence mean more than just it means. If I agree with him, he will find out the truth when we are in the room. However, if i tell the truth now, I feel so embarrass. After a while of hesitation and struggling in my mind, I chose to be honest. I said "I believed it is my feet...". I forgot what did he said afterwards, but he was definitely shocked and the first thing he said when we got off the bus way "FRESH AIR".
