俗稱豬流感的H1N1新型流感疫情驚爆23國4大洲，最嚴重發病源頭墨西哥，死亡人數已達152人，美國確定感染病例也從40人增加到64人，我國在中美洲的友邦哥斯大黎加也傳出一名確診病例，成為中美洲首起H1N1確診病例；此外亞太地區也岌岌可危，南韓已出現東亞首起疑似病例。英國專家警告，新型流感疫情若持續擴散，恐怕造成全球1億2千萬人死亡。
H1N1新型流感病毒在全球肆虐，世界衛生官員坦承，已無力遏止疫情快速蔓延。目前美國已有64起確診病例；加拿大有13人確定感染，該國首席公共衛生官員巴特勒‧瓊斯已發出警告，強調加拿大可能會全面暴發疫情，甚至出現死亡病例。
至於歐洲地區，英國有2起確診病例、7起疑似病例；西班牙有2起確診病例，另有20起疑似病例；以色列也有一名男子確定感染豬流感病毒。此外，法國、丹麥、瑞士、瑞典、愛爾蘭、澳大利亞、智利、哥倫比亞都出現了疑似病例。
病毒來勢洶洶，亞太地區也無法倖免於難，南韓一名51歲婦女，本月17日經美國洛杉磯前往墨西哥旅遊，26日搭機返國前已出現咳嗽、發冷等流感症狀，回國後被送往南韓國立保健研究院檢查並隔離治療，目前檢查結果為陽性，但檢體仍需送交美國疾病管制局確認。
一周內奪走墨國152條人命的新型流感來得又急又猛，英國專家預測，病毒致死率可能與1918年的西班牙流感相似。而所謂西班牙流感病毒，也是H1N1的一種，當時造4千萬人死亡，英國專家並警告，這回新型流感疫情如國仍續擴散，恐怕會造成全球1億2千萬人口死亡。

周杰倫 說好的幸福呢
妳的回話凌亂著 在這個時刻
我想起噴泉旁的白鴿 甜蜜散落了
情緒莫名的拉扯 我還愛妳呢
而妳斷斷續續唱著歌 假裝沒事了
時間過了 走了 愛情面臨選擇 妳冷了 倦了 我哭了
離開時的不快樂 妳用卡片手寫著 有些愛只給到這 真的痛了
怎麼了 妳累了 說好的 幸福呢
我懂了 不說了 愛淡了 夢遠了
開心與不開心一一細數著 妳再不捨
那些愛過的感覺都太深刻 我都還記得
妳不等了 說好的 幸福呢
我錯了 淚乾了 放手了 後悔了
只是回憶的音樂盒還旋轉著 要怎麼停呢
怎麼了 妳累了 說好的 幸福呢
我懂了 不說了 愛淡了 夢遠了我都還記得
妳不等了 說好的 幸福呢
我錯了 淚乾了 放手了 後悔了
只是回憶的音樂盒還旋轉著 要怎麼停呢
這…或許是很多留學生都會很有感觸的一首歌吧。
時間與距離分隔了彼此的親密，課業和感情造成了雙方的爭執；
最後，開始的快樂卻成了回憶。

「醫」 ，說文解字
今天在書局看到了一本書，「中醫」，覺得滿有趣的就拿起來翻幾頁；
有一篇介紹中文字「醫」的起源。
「醫」、「毉」、「医」
古時代的中國社會巫術與醫術曾經共存且共通過，
「巫」，乃是指擁有醫病、算卦等技能之士；
「医殳」，惡姿也；即是人們生病時的狀態；
「酉」，在古代代表的是酒，古人認為酒是最原始的藥，可治病及通經活絡。

王力宏 Everything
《EVERYTHING》這首歌的靈感來自一個力宏親身經歷參與的愛情故事，力宏應好朋友的請求，陪同好友買求婚戒指好讓好友向女友求婚，而力宏的好友也帶著女友在2007年12月31日前往澳州展開求婚計劃，原本在天時、地利、人和的狀況下，這樣浪漫的計劃會像是王子與公主的快樂結局，沒想到女主角卻以“沒做好心理準備為由”拒絕了力宏好友的求婚，讓這段看似浪漫的求婚計劃最後以分手收場。朋友當年求婚的故事深深烙印在力宏的腦海中，朋友的情傷促使力宏以這個故事為創作靈感，寫下這首歌曲送給好友，也希望藉這首歌曲安慰所有破碎的心。

旅美名醫陳俊龍願聘陳幸妤 條件是對病人好年薪千萬
NowNews社會中心／綜合報導 (2009/02/02 20:36)
前總統陳水扁女兒陳幸妤赴美考牙醫執照，正巧她的寶徠豪宅多了一位新鄰居，就是旅美植牙名醫陳俊龍，他因為自創五合一手術，成為世界名醫，也是台 灣之光，而陳幸妤還在學校時，曾聽過他講課，陳俊龍認為陳幸妤通過part1應該不難，如果真要在美國執業，他也不排除讓陳幸妤到他診所上班，年薪可有 30萬美金，換算成台幣將近千萬。
扁家寶徠豪宅的新鄰居陳俊龍帶著金邊眼鏡，相貌斯文，他是牙醫界的名醫，因為研發出現拔、現補、現種、現裝牙冠、推高鼻竇五合一植牙手術，讓他擠身世界名醫錄，一堆好萊塢明星，包括麥可傑克森家族都是他的病人，年收入高達5億元。
過去陳幸妤在念牙醫研究所時，就曾經聽過他講課，對於陳幸妤赴美考試，陳俊龍表示，外國牙醫師要到美國開業當牙醫，必須先通過醫檢定考Part- 1、Part-2後，申請進入美國的牙醫學校至少學習兩年，再通過州執業考試後，才能取得執業執照，不過，紐約、加州、馬里蘭及佛羅里達州較特別，容許外 國牙醫師通過Part-1、Part-2後，直接參加州執業考試。
陳俊龍研判陳幸妤可能知道此管道，並想在紐約開業，才參加Part-1考試，他看好她的發展，他表示，「應該很好過，因為好像65分就可以過了， 好像跟台灣的part1 part2很相似，只是都全英文而已，(在美執業)可能就要人脈吧！但是她人脈應該很好，所以華人圈子應該很快就會打進去。」
陳俊龍認定陳幸妤應該就會留在美國當牙醫，而陳俊龍正好在美國開設了好幾家分院，他說，「我請的醫生 ，差不多是30萬(美金)起跳。」記者問他，「如果她來你這裡應徵，你會錄用她嗎？」陳俊龍表示，「可以呀！大家都是很公平，不是說某某人我就……，她假 如能對待病人好的話，應該就很好 。」看來如果陳幸妤要找工作，他也很歡迎她到他那兒工作，陳幸妤移民美國當牙醫之路，似乎已有眉目。

王力宏 ─ 心跳
想跟我吵架 我沒那麼無聊
不懂得道歉 我沒那麼聰明
好想要回到我們的原點
你又在哭泣 我給不了安慰
我又在搖頭 有那麼點後悔
愛情的發展已難以回頭卻無法往前走
但身不由己出現在胸口 兩顆心能塞幾個問號
愛讓我們流多少眼淚
你的眼神充滿美麗帶走我的心跳
你的溫柔如此靠近帶走我的心跳
逆轉時光到一開始 能不能給一秒
等著哪一天你也想起
那懸在記憶中的美好

Yes, We Can !
Hello, Chicago.
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Senator McCain.
Senator McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.
I congratulate him; I congratulate Governor Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton ... and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years ... the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady ... Michelle Obama.
Sasha and Malia ... I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us ...to the new White House.
And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them.
And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe ... the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best _ the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.
To my chief strategist David Axelrod ... who's been a partner with me every step of the way.
To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics ... you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.
It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.
It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.
This is your victory.
And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me.
You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime _ two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.
There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child's college education.
There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.
I promise you, we as a people will get there.
There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem.
But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years _ block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.
This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.
It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.
Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.
In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.
Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.
Those are values that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.
As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn
of American leadership is at hand.
To those _ to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
That's the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons _ because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America _ the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that We Shall Overcome. Yes we can.
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.
And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.
Yes we can.
America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves _ if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.
This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.

Yes we can.
America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves _ if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.
This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.

夠強，才能打進美國
You don't care
You don't try
Life will pass by
You won't know
Time will show
If life gonna go
Gotta keep on pushing
Pushing every day
Try it every where
Keep moving on
Keep going now
Keep pushing all your way...
Keep going now
Don't hesitate
Your dreams will come one day
Will come one day

Be Taiwanese again
July 13, 2001, i left my country, Taiwan. And now on Aug 22,2007, i left my 6 years university life country, Philippines.
6 year international student life is a different experience from staying in Taiwan, and there were diversity tastes from every moment.
Welcome music playing by Manila international airport band when tourists come.
I appreciate everyone of my friends who helped me in these years and also those people who let me know what the craftiness is.
Friends, teachers, classmates in my school, and the people that i met in travel, the air, view, and the beach in Philippines, i would miss all of you anytime.
Good bye, Philippines
