The year of 2012...
I graduated from Norco college, didn’t know what to do with my career. I fear, fear that I will starve being an artist.
I came back to taiwan and work with my dad. The family member I always felt distance to as a child.
My dad gave me the little of Manager. He wanted me to do whatever my vision was and always trusted me. He trusted me to interviewed people, design logo, manage website outlet, go to trade shows, etc.
I know deep down he wants to pass down the knowledge and business. More importantly, he wants me to get to know his life since he’ve always been a mystery the family.
But, when I worked with him, I saw his sorrow and the true intention behind arming up his kind heart with superficiality like nice car, nice motorbike, nice food, etc. ( I can go on and on but TMI...)
Anyway, eventually I left. I went to New York and got scholarship from @thecollectivenyc to pursue what was best for me at that moment.
I went on my own exploration path, worked at Wall Street, using my street knowledge, and some abstract business talk with him. I sometimes think of how he’s doing? But I never really ask much... Even though we don’t talk much& have difficulty express our love for each other’s, but we always want the best for each other.
I always remember his last couple sentences when he came to the 桃園airport to pick me up. He told me, 飛得越遠越好 一路好走 (Fly to the furtherest, leave us! )
I was a bit confused and kind of hurt, and mad at him, because I just came back to taiwan to visit family and that’s what his response was?!
Years after, I internalized and rethink what he meant. It’s beautiful! He just want me to enjoy life with no 掛礙 worries about family
Thanks to dad always looking after, and tries his best to take care of us. Even though 家家有本難唸的經( Family dynamics always has its own complication)
I can truly said you’ve planted a seed in me.
A free spirited, abstract, kind, and creative force, that won’t stop spreading until the body collapses itself.
I no longer fear of who I am, and doing things I am passionate about.
Thank you& I love you.
Forever& ever.
一路好走, 走得越遠越好!
R.I.P

=================================
ネイティブは「Fine」をこう使う
=================================
日本の方にとって“Fine”といえば「How are you」の返答の「I'm fine」を思い浮かべる人が多いかと思いますが、昨日の動画レッスン（アメリカ人は「How are you」にどう答えるか実験してみた https://hapaeikaiwa.com/?p=8070）でご紹介したとおり、実際はそのような使い方はほとんどされません。では一体ネイティブは“Fine”はどのように使っているのか？ご紹介しようと思います。
--------------------------------------------------
1) I'm fine
→「大丈夫です」
--------------------------------------------------
誰かに心配されたり、気に掛けてもらったりした時に 「大丈夫ですよ」 と相手を安心させる一言としての使い方です。例えば、サイクリング中に転んで「Are you ok?（大丈夫ですか？）」と声を掛けられた時に、「I'm fine.（大丈夫です）」と答えます。なお、尋ねる側の人がfineを使うと違和感があるのでokを使いましょう。
＜例文＞
〜会話例1〜
A: You don't look good. Are you ok?
（顔色が悪いですよ。大丈夫ですか？）
B: I'm fine. I'm just a little tired.
（大丈夫です。ちょっと疲れているだけです。）
〜会話例2〜
A: What if he gets on the wrong train? He can't even read Japanese.
（彼が間違って違う電車に乗ったらどうしよう。日本語も読めないし。）
B: He'll be fine. He's traveled to a lot of countries. I'm sure he'll figure it out.
（大丈夫だよ。彼は色々な国に旅行しているんだから自分で何とかするでしょう。）
〜会話例3〜
A: How's your son doing? Is he ok?
（息子さんの調子はどうですか？大丈夫ですか？）
B: He's fine. It was just a mild sprain.
（大丈夫です。軽い捻挫をしただけです。）
--------------------------------------------------
2) (No) I'm fine
→「結構です」
--------------------------------------------------
相手の申し出や依頼、勧めなどを断る時に使う一言です。例えば、レストランの店員に「ビールをもう一杯いかがですか？」と聞かれた時に「No, I'm fine.（いえ、結構です）」 という具合に使います。「I'm fine」の一言だけでも「結構です」を意味しますが、「No thanks. I'm fine」と言った方が、より丁寧な返答の仕方になります。
＜例文＞
〜会話例1〜
A: Would you guys like to see the dessert menu?
（デザートメニューは見られますか？）
B: No thanks. We're fine. Can we get the check, please?
（いえ、結構です。お勘定をお願いします。）
〜会話例2〜
A: Do you want me to help you out?
（手伝ってあげましょうか？）
B: I'm fine. I'm almost done.
（もうすぐ終わるので大丈夫です。）
〜会話例3〜
A: Do you need anything from the market?
（コンビニで何かいりますか？）
B: No, I'm fine. Thanks for asking though.
（大丈夫です。お気遣いありがとうございます。）
--------------------------------------------------
3) That's fine (with me)
→「それで大丈夫です」
--------------------------------------------------
相手が提案したことに対して 「それでいいですよ」や 「それで大丈夫ですよ」 を意味する表現です。例えば、友達に約束の時間を1時間遅らせてもいいかと聞かれた時に「Yeah, that's fine.（ええ、大丈夫ですよ）」と返事をします。「That's fine with me.」と言う人もいますが、どちらでも意味は同じです。
✔注意しなければならないのが、前述した通り、状況によっては相手の申し出を断る意味にもなるので、会話の流れでしっかり使い分けする必要があります。基本的には、提案を受け入れるときには 「Yes, that's fine.」、断るときには 「No that's fine.」 と言えば問題ありません。
＜例文＞
〜会話例1〜
A: Can we reschedule the meeting to tomorrow?
（明日にミテーィングを変更してもよろしいでしょうか？）
B: Yeah, that's fine. How about 5 p.m. tomorrow?
（はい、大丈夫ですよ。明日の午後５時はいかがでしょうか？）
〜会話例2〜
A: Sorry we don't have Pepsi. We have Coke though.
（申し訳ありません、ペプシーは置いていないのですがコーラでしたらあります。）
B: That's fine. Thanks.
（それで大丈夫です。ありがとうございます。）
〜会話例3〜
A: Would you like a gift receipt?
（ギフト用のレシートは必要ですか？）
B: No, that's fine.
（いえ、結構です。）
--------------------------------------------------
4) Fine!
→「もういいよ！」
--------------------------------------------------
不満や愚痴ばかりをこぼしたりする人や、こちらの提案やアドバイスを全く聞かない人に対して 「もういいよ！」や「わかったよ！」 と怒っている感情やうんざりしている気持ちを示す場合の表現です。「Fine then.」 という表現も同じ意味合いで使われます。
＜例文＞
〜会話例1〜
A: It's my friends birthday tonight and I want to hang out with him.
（今夜は友達の誕生日だから彼と一緒に遊びに行きたいんだ。）
B: Fine! Just do what you want then.
（もういいよ！勝手にしな。）
〜会話例2〜
A: Sorry something came up and I can't make it tonight.
（ごめんなさい、今夜は用事が出来て行けません。）
B: Fine then! I'll just ask someone else.
（もういいよ！他の人に頼むから。）
〜会話例3〜
A: If you want to go home, then go home!
（帰りたいんだったら、帰ればいいじゃん。）
B: Fine! I'll just take a taxi home.
（分かったよ！タクシーで帰るから。）
～おまけ～
--------------------------------------------------
Fine...
→「しゃ〜なしやで〜」
--------------------------------------------------
以前、大阪出身の友達と遊んでいる時に「しゃ〜なしやで〜」って英語で何と言うのか聞かれた事があるのですが、その言葉にはどのようなニュアンスがあるのかを説明してもらったうえで（大阪人が言う「しゃ〜なしやで〜」は、別に嫌とも思っていないのに、わざと恩義せがましく相手の要望を受け入れる一種の冗談とのこと）、Fineを面倒くさそうに言うのが最適と思い、そう教えた経験を思い出したので一応シェアーしておこうと思います。(笑)
＜例文＞
〜会話例1〜
A: Can you pick me up tomorrow?
（明日、迎えに来てくれへん？）
B: Fine.
（しゃーなしやでー）
〜会話例2〜
A: Let me get a bite.
（一口だけちょうだいや！）
B: Fine. But just one bite though.
（しゃーないなー。でも、ちょっとだけやで。）
〜会話例3〜
A: Can I borrow five bucks? I left my wallet at home.
（5ドルかしてくれへん？財布を家に忘れてもうた。）
B: Fine. I’ll just get it.
（しゃーないなから、おごったるわー）

Back in the days, around the time when YouTube was founded, before most of you were born, I used to Vlog a lot. I was a little ahead of my time because video sharing platforms were premature back then. I Vlogged so that I can remember my experiences back then. You'll get to know me better if you actually spend the time to watch this. If you do have the patience.
Episode 12 - Mount Snow, Vermont
Beginning of my video was my typical college day. I was cooking Japanese Steaks for my two good friends Brian and Emily. It wasn't the best cooking but eating with good friends are the best. I call Brian "Aniki" or "Onisama", if you know it, you know it.
I went to Mount Snow in Vermont, USA with the same gang I went to Mount Wachusetts with. Instead of Skiing, this time I went Snowboarding. It was a totally different experience. I was snowboarding by myself on the bunny hill until my friends persuaded me to go up the longest cable car. Little did I know, it was the cable car to their most difficult Black Diamond peak. I couldn't even make it to 5% of the mountain, so I had to pretend that I was injured for the snow mobile to come pick me up. It was a fun ride.
Food in Vermont are unique on their own. They are famous for their Maple Syrup. Lots of good food from family run restaurants. We went to Dot's Restaurant and the experience was unforgettable. Super delicious!!!
I spoke a few languages in this video, be sure to turn on captions.
Year : 2005
Location : Mount Snow, Vermont
