美國參議員旋風訪台✈
提供台灣75萬劑疫苗🇺🇸

今日一早，美國聯邦參議員 #達克沃絲（Tammy Duckworth, D-IL）、#蘇利文（Dan Sullivan, R-AK）及 #昆斯（Chris Coons, D-DE）專程搭乘美軍C-17運輸機從韓國來到台灣，停留三小時，宣布捐贈75萬劑疫苗及相關防疫物資！

#真朋友真進展 和 #台美友好，不只是口號，而是 #共享價值的盟友以行動共同對抗疫情。感謝美國的幫助，台灣也會持續為全世界早日回歸正常生活盡一份心力！ 💪💪💪

We thank the US for donating 750 thousand vaccine doses; Taiwan will continue cooperating with our democratic allies in the global fight against the pandemic!

US Senators Tammy Duckworth and Dan Sullivan of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Senator Christopher Coons of the Senate Foreign Relations arrived in Taiwan this morning. They announced that Taiwan would receive 750,000 vaccine doses as part of the first tranche of US donations.

During the speech, the senators specifically mentioned the support Taiwan had offered to the US during the COVID outbreak, including tens of thousands of face masks donation and “Love from Taiwan” masks given to the US congressmen by the USA Caucus of the Legislative Yuan. The assistance from the US not only served as a recognition of Taiwan’s help but also exemplified solid bilateral ties.

We are deeply grateful for the US bipartisan congressional visit, bolstering Taiwan with real action. During the global vaccine shortage, it has demonstrated robust US support for Taiwan. Furthermore, the timely rain brought by our democratic ally is not only a response to the kindness of Taiwanese people, the great outcome of the #TaiwanCanHelp campaign but also showed the hard work of the Tsai administration and Taiwan’s diplomatic personnel over the past years.

#RealFriendsRealProgress and #StrongerTogether are not sweet talks but prove that like-minded partners would take joint action in fighting the global challenge. Thanks to the help from the US, Taiwan will continue to contribute to global pandemic control in helping the world to get back to normal!

•timely rainfall 及時雨 ; (fig.)​ timely assistance 即時的幫忙*
•from the heavens 從天而降

*timely (adj.): https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/timely

**梅雨，指由冷熱空氣交鋒而成之鋒面雨，在每年春夏交際時於臺灣、日本中南部、韓國南部，以及中國長江中下游地區、四川盆地東部和江淮地區等地形成的持續天陰有雨之自然氣候現象。由於梅雨發生的時段正是江南梅子的成熟期，並且由於長期下雨，導致衣物、食品等容易發霉，因此梅雨又有一個別名：「霉雨」。台灣過去並無「梅雨」一詞，而是自國民政府遷台後所帶來，雖然時間上較早，又與梅子成熟期不完全吻合，但其成因及降雨特性卻與長江梅雨、日本梅雨都相似，所以也採用「梅雨」這個名稱。

Any more expressions? Let it rain!

做自己的主人 或 成自己的奴役
Be my own master
Translation: Berber @berbermnm
.
只因為喜歡而喜歡
也只為討厭而討厭
.
大部分的時候
我們不過是依據成見表達想法罷了
遑論客觀公正
因為自己喜歡 所以我百般看他的優點
因為自己討厭 所以我專門挑他的缺點
一樣的事件發生
一樣的行為特質
我們可以任意從正面或負面的形容詞中
挑出一個恰當的詞語
特別注意 需先依據成見 選定「正面」或「負面」
那就能萬無一失地保持成見
.
討厭的人是雞婆 喜歡的人是熱心
討厭的人是憨呆 喜歡的人是可愛
固執與堅毅 濫情與多情
杞人憂天與多愁善感
陽光是刺眼還是溫暖？
雨水是氾濫還是甘霖？
.
對於特定人事物的成見如何形成的尚不重要
重新審視這人事物時是否能開放心態才重要
如果「我」是心靈 智慧 理性的稱呼
而「自己」代表肉體 本性 成見 情緒化
那「我是自己的主人 抑或是自己的奴役呢？」
.
We like something because we feel positive about it.
We hate something because we are negative about it.
Prejudice is formed.
.
More often than not, our opinions are influenced by our prejudices.
These are our subjective feelings.
When we like someone, we can find countless merits in him.
However, when someone gets on our wrong side, all we can see are his faults.
We can have different angles on the same matter and the same behaviour.
How we comment on something depends on whether we choose, according to our prejudices, to be on the positive or negative side.
.
Is someone annoying or caring?
Is someone a dork or is he cute?
Stubborn or persevere?
Is he toying with someone or is he just too blessed by Cupid?
Is he a negative person or is he a sentimental?
Is the sun scorching or warm?
Is the rain pouring or timely?
.
How did we form prejudices on someone or something is not important.
What matters is whether we can break our prejudices and be open-minded.
If “I “ is a pronoun of the heart, wisdom and reason, while
“Me” represents the body, one’s self, prejudice and emotions
Do “I” be the master of “me”? Or Am “I” enslaved by “me”?

BEST FRAGRANCES RANKED INDIE EDITION ft. Krista & Evan
Hey guys, today I’m joined by the two very amazing power couple of the Youtube channel Modern Scents, and they are going to be ranking some of my best fragrances from the indie category. These fragrances were handpicked from my collection for being some of the best fragrances that I own and some of the most complimented fragrances / colognes as well. I love these fragrances and we’re going to see today if these two agree with my thoughts that these are indeed some of the best fragrances, and their reaction would be the judge if these deserve the spot of most complimented fragrances / colognes or not.

FRAGRANCES MENTIONED

Issara by Dusita Parfum- This one is incredibly relaxing and joyous. It really puts you in a mood to sit down in the shade under a tree and enjoy a nice relaxing cup of tea. One of the best fragrances I’ve ever smelled and one of the most complimented fragrances in a relaxing indoor setting.

Absolute Aphrodisiac by Initio Parfum Privee- This is a dirty and sexy vanilla. It’s sensual in a warm and inviting way yet alluring in the darkest way. Sexual and raw, this fragrance really takes you down a path your brain might not want to go, but also where your heart can’t stop craving it. One of my most complimented fragrances for the winter time, and definitely one of the best fragrances I own to this date.

Period of Time by Natural Teller- This is a really bright letter fragrance. It’s unique and definitely a pleaser many people. Modern smelling, clean, but with a leather edge. This fragrance is perfect for the modern man living in the city who wants something that’s a bit out of the ordinary but still highly appreciated by the people. Most complimented fragrances in work/ urban scenes. Also one of the best fragrances in my collection.

Albatross by House of Matriarch- A fragrance that was inspired by the deep ocean itself. The dark and mysterious unexplored depth brings to us the dark salty sea aroma mix with forest notes of the near shore. This fragrance creates and reimagine what it means to experience the true aquatic manifestation. Most complimented fragrances when in hotter weather conditions. One of the best fragrances and also one of the most unique as well.

Under The Rain by Natural Teller- Ever been in a big city when it rains? The skyscrapers around you, the cobblestone roads, and the light drizzling rainfall. Refreshing and elegantly uplifting. This is a masterpiece of the modern fragrance, and one that can certainly be enjoyed by anyone of any age. One of my most favorite fragrance in existence, and most complimented out of the entire list. One of, if not, the best fragrances for its price range.

These are my favorite samples from the month of September. I sampled many houses this month, including House of Matriarch, Zoologist, Imaginary Authors, Parfum Dusita, Initio Parfum Prive, and many other brands. All the fragrances mentioned in this video are ones that I’ll inevitably buy. They are very phenomenal fragrances, ones that everyone must check out.

FRAGRANCES MENTIONED
- Yesterday Haze by Imaginary Authors- This is a very rich fall fragrance with a sort of dry texture. It really reminds me of smelling pages of an old book. An artistic masterpiece for this year’s cooler months.

- Cape Heartache by Imaginary Authors- Opens up with one of the most beautifully delicious strawberry note that I’ve ever smelled. Delectable, alluring, and very pleasing.

- Absolute Aphrodisiac by Inito Parfum Prive- Most sexual vanilla. Dirty and confident, this scent evokes a pure primal instinct within all of us. Main notes of Vanilla and Musk, make up this unique concoction.

- Magnetic Blend 7 by Initio Parfum Prive- Straight up Musk. The Musk smells a tad bit dirty, reminds me of a wild man, like Tarzan. If Tarzan had his own scent. This would be it.

- Ivory Root by Xerjoff- Vanilla for the modern man, very sexy and inviting. Easy to wear and easy to please. Vanilla mix with subtle spices and woods. You’ll struggle to get a negative comment with this.

- The Maj by House of Matriarch- Hard to describe, it’s very aromatic and extremely well blended. Best way to imagine is to picture a heavy rain on a mildly dense green forest. It’s rich, herby, and enticing.

- Melodie De L’Amour by Parfum Dusita- Gorgeous white floral scent. Strong in jasmine, reminds me of authentic Thai jasmine rice. Deliciously sweet and soft, much like laying in a bed of white flowers.

This is a full house review of Zoologist Perfumes. This brand, owned by Victor Wong, set a theme to create fragrances base on animals. In this video I'm going to be talking about all five of their offerings so far, which includes Beaver, Panda, Bat, Rhinoceros, Hummingbird, and two of there newest fragrances, Macaque, and Nightingale.

Zoologist main theme are animals. In this house you'll find a lot of different uses and variety of Musk notes, ranging from dirty to very clean smelling Musk. The works are beautiful from the presentation to the scents. The dynamic of the fragrances proves the owner's wide vision and creativity. This is one of my favorite houses I've discovered recently and once you have the pleasure of sampling them, you'll see why.

ZOOLOGIST PERFUMES FRAGRANCES OVERVIEW

- Beaver- Like a beaver's den, it's undeniably musky and woody. The slight dampness in the texture gives an image of the forest after the rain freshly stops falling. One of my favorite musky and woody fragrance of all time.

- Panda- Green, green, and more green. This fragrance lends itself to the people who love the note of Tea. The Tea note in this fragrance feels almost spiritual, mixing with the note of Bamboo, makes the scent give off a feeling of being in a Bamboo forest, sipping tea, while watching a family of Panda feast on it's favorite snack.

- Rhinoceros- A fragrance for men with authority, Rhinoceros contains one of the most unique note of tobacco you'll ever smell. Blending with the strong rum top note and the signature Zoologist dampness, makes the tobacco smells like it was soaked in a jar of rum then was taken out to dry in the sun. Authoritative, manly, utterly confident.

- Bat- The daring king of all fragrances, yet a artistic masterpiece. I cannot imagine wearing this in public because of how polarizing it is but as an art form this fragrance actually reminds be of Bats! Juicy fruits, flurry musk, and damp earth. The most unusual creation that works. Winner of an Olfactory Award 2016.

- Humming Bird- One of the most beautiful and most elegant women's perfume to ever grace the market this year. It's incredibly enticing, head turning, and addicting. I simply cannot stop smelling this when I tested it out. Honeysuckle, fruits, and floral. My favorite women scent.

- Nightingale- First fragrance I smelled that feature Japanese Plum Blossom as a note. It's very different from the rest of Zoologist fragrances. The rest in the line have this signature Zoologist dampness, while this one smells incredibly dry. Took me by surprise. Great scent that leans for feminine than masculine.

- Macaque- One of the two new released from this house. This is an aromatic green fragrance with a touch of sweetness. The sweetness of reminds me of a yellow jelly desert I had as a child. More test on this will reveal more, but as of now this is all I can say. However, interesting, is the right word for sure.
