It's the best way to record and collect your memories together. With different medias to create the speciality, like papers/stickers/fabrics/buttons....ect.

我覺得這是一個用來紀錄與蒐集你的回憶最好的方法。用不同的材料, 像是紙張/ 貼紙/ 布料/紐扣....來創造這特別的記憶。

heart is a lonely hunter by francisca pageo

Sometimes, you can't really fully expressed through words, and I always believe the little things like photography or even a receipts can tell stories. Collaging them together is like put pieces into a whole. Complete it.

有得時候, 你無法用語言來完整描述你的感受, 而且我一直都相信有些小東西, 像是照片或甚至是一張收據背後都是有故事的。拼貼則可以把這些散落的段落拼湊成一個完整的故事。

affaire-affaire by francisca pageo

Emotions can be speechless. It all about feelings.

情緒有時無法用言語形容。那是一種感覺。

i can't see by eileen hsu

Even when you close your eyes and cover your ears, it's still there.

一種就算你把眼睛耳朵遮住都還是存在著的感覺。

look away by eileen hsu

It can be a mess/ a rush / a shock, and you might heard yourself saying: put yourself together. Yes, gather all the pieces around you, keeps you calm.

可以是混亂的/衝動的/驚訝的, 而且你可能會開始聽到自己說: 振作起來！是的, 把思緒整理清晰, 將一塊塊情緒拼湊起來, 可以慢慢的冷卻激動的情緒。

stay calm and...jump by eileen hsu

When I am doing something creative, I feel the rush of optimistic. It feels great and makes me hyper. For me, it's the right attitude to carry on.

當我在創作時, 我常常感覺到當下的我是樂觀的。令我感到快樂與活力。對我來說, 這就是堅持下去的態度。

Francisca Pageo didn't trained to be a collage artist. I believe it's a gift for her to deal with the pieces and find the beauty out of them.

Francisca Pageo 當初也不是一為受過訓練的藝術家, 我相信她擁有著找到獨立個體中找到彼此的美, 並且串聯起來的天份。

ha! mind by eileen hsu

Collaging makes individual items into a single piece and each item related. It's human nature, the one that we believe everything/ everyone is unique and special, but together make it complete and fulfilled.

拼貼讓獨立的個體變成一個讓彼此可以互相襯托美的個體。這是一種人性, 讓我們相信所有人事物都是獨立且特別, 但團結起來能使之更完整充實。

we can do it mini-coasters by francisca pageo

So collage it! and make "yourself" work.

所以讓我們來把自己完整的拼湊起來, 樂觀的大步向前走吧！

there。|| a cup of magazine #1 ||

All my friends/family know that I am addicted to magazines.  (must came from the crazy uni research days...)Not only enjoy the glamourous/ creative images, but also love to read all the articles (those editors know woman way better than women.) , especially ELLE magazine. I found it mature/ interesting/ knowledgeable with fun editing and smart columns. Love the both uk and china edition.

認識我的人都知道我很愛很愛看雜誌。（我覺得這是一個歷經設計學位後的一個後遺症）看雜誌不僅僅能看到驚艷的時尚大片, 我還很愛讀雜誌裡的文章 （這些編輯真的比女人還懂女人）尤其是ELLE雜誌。她不僅僅內容成熟知性還有著很有創意的排版設計, 尤其是英國與中國的版本。



Part from all the fashionable pictures from all the magazines, here is the beautiful images i found inside June china ELLE. Amazing set with stunning accessories and lovely lovely flowers. very elegantly creative.

除了那些在每本時尚雜誌必定看到的時尚攝影外, 這一次中國ELLE的六月刊裡的配飾攝影讓我整個沒辦法把目光移開。巧妙的把配件跟花朵融合在照片裡。好甜美也好優雅。



Another magazine I found is H&M magazine. It's FREE to get from all the stores.

另一個令我驚艷的還有H&M自己出的雜誌。可以在店裡免費索取。



Surprisingly found out it's not just a lookbook-magazine, it has CONTENTS!! Interviews, must have items, analysing trends and make-it-yourself column. Just the way I love to learn something from a magazine. and this one is FREE!  (i know i've mention it twice... haha)

令人意外的是它並不像一般店裡拿的小冊子一樣只是形象照片, 它更多了...“內容”。像是名人面談, 本季重點單品, 流行趨勢解析, 動手DIY教學...等等。完全符合我愛讀雜誌的特點---能學到點東西。重點是這本是免費的！



WOOO...you really can't judge by the book cover. H&M does know how to promote and branding. Genius.

哇～真的買書不能只靠他的封面。H&M在宣傳與品牌形象方面真的是個天才。或是說他背後的團隊真是強大。



(love this get your diy on column. especially it's featuring my favourite blogger PARK & CUBE. )

hope you enjoying it. and maybe next time i can do a feature on electronic magazine.

希望你們會喜歡這次的雜誌分享, 下次可能可以做個 關於”電子時尚雜誌“的推薦 （尤其是免費的那種！）

pieces。|| oh my dear friends。april.春.2012 ||

As  you  can see from my blog that how much I like to share lovely tea time,  yummy food and beautiful things that touches my heart. However, when I am having those fantastic moments, sometimes my family and my friends are with me, and that makes all the moments very special.

你們應該可以看出我很喜歡在這個部落格裡分享我最愛的午茶時光, 美食還有任何令我感動的人生小確信。雖然多半時候我喜歡一個人享受這一切, 但大多數的時光還是需要我的家人跟朋友一起讓這樣的時光顯得更珍貴更特別。

For me, a great friend is someone that fully understand you. You can be so relaxed and calm around her/him. Even it's a trip to the dentist.

對我來說, 一個超級好朋友就是個能完全讀懂我的人, 一個能讓我和他在一起時可以完全的放鬆/自在。就算是去看牙醫也不例外。哈

---Shenzhen 深圳---

You can be yourself in front of them and never worry that they would find you silly or nuts.

在他們面前你可以完完全全的做自己, 也不會讓自己覺得像呆子或瘋子一樣。

My family built the world for me, and my friends are the one who make it so interesting and amazing. Makes everywhere in the world so fun and exciting.

我的家人幫我建立了這樣一個屬於我的世界, 而我的朋友則是讓這個世界變得更好玩更豐富的人。他們讓這世界上的所有地方所有事, 變的使人興奮雀躍。

During the trip to Shenzhen, it feels like we are back in the great time of uni life. Only difference is how we are all fighting really hard with this reality world. However, we all know deep in our heart, the dreams we used to have is still inside us, waiting the hard works would make it come true.

這一次的深圳之旅, 讓我感覺好像回到以前大學的美好時光。唯一不同的是現在的我們正在努力挑戰著這個現實世界, 但我仍然可以看到, 其實在大家內心深處的那個夢想, 正在蠢蠢欲動的等著我們的成功, 等著被實現。

No matter what will be achieved, we will still be great friends that is going to amuse and comfort each others world...FOREVER.

不管以後的我們會變怎樣, 我們仍然永遠是彼此最好的依靠, 還有繼續在彼此人生裡激起不同火花的超級好朋友！

 

If you have those great friends that are not in the same city with you(I'm sure you must have, or who is the first friend that pop up right now in your head! ) , go get a ticket and pay a visit! or if you have heard of Skype, video chat with them! Believe me, you will get these much rewards as I did afterwards.

如果你也有這樣無敵的朋友但跟你不在一個城市, 快快買票去看他！或是用skype視訊一下, 看看彼此近況如何, 相信我, 你會像我這次旅程一樣, 收穫頗多。
