Typhoon Krosa

We have a strong typhoon since yesterday, I think this might be the worst one I've ever experienced. This noon when my mom and I tried to pick up my bro and my dad, we saw how hard people can walk out there.... strong wind and heavy rain makes the sky looks like covering by a white silk, someone riding on their scooter could hardly go any further, T-bar and traffic light are shaking in the wind, water goes everywhere!! Our road is just like another river in the city!!

Also, none of department stores opened today. Usually when we have typhoon, department stores are still a good place to go...for shopping or eating..., but not anymore for this one!! So we can only drove to McDonald's and bought something to eat.

After we went home, I was planning to watch some video but then we had a power-off for an hour....bored me, I wonder how our ancestor live without any electricity....I have no TV, no computer, no video, no music, and no where to go!! Luckily we had power again after I took a nap! But I saw serious damage everywhere in Taipei city from the news....Gosh this is horrible!! Hope all my friends are alright!!

It's time for espresso!!

Maybe it's time for espresso for those people who always have coffee at Starbucks and Barista:

星巴克含奶品漲5元 西雅圖擬跟進

現 煮咖啡連鎖店龍頭星巴克 (Starbucks),在抵檔不住此波國際原物料持續喊漲之下,決定於下周一 (10/8)全面調價,針對所有內含奶類產品每杯皆調價5元,涵蓋拿鐵、卡布奇諾和摩卡等14支產品。統一星巴克表示,調價雖會擔心客源流失,但仍不得不 將部分成本轉嫁給消費者。西雅圖連鎖咖啡館則表示,今日將開會討論,不排除跟進,每杯調價幅度約5元。

統一星巴克繼去年「每日咖啡」每杯調價10元後,今年首度調價,並已於各門市張貼調價公告。統一星巴克公關經理林立莉表示,受到國內乳製品調價2至3成之 影響,統一星巴克原預計於8月底反映部分成本,但因擔心消費者反彈,流失客群,所以才臨時喊卡,暫緩調價。但因長期自行吸收成本,造成營運上不堪負荷,故 決定於下周一起,針對內含奶類產品全面調漲5元,共包括拿鐵、卡布奇諾、摩卡、焦糖瑪其朵、咖啡星冰樂和摩卡星冰樂等14支產品,不論中杯或大杯一律上漲 5元,另外,部分內含奶類的客製化產品,也一樣調價5元。

目前擁有34家門市的西雅圖連鎖咖啡店,在得知星巴克確定調價的消息後,西雅圖行銷副理羅文聖表示,今日下午內部將開會討論調價事宜,不排除跟進,至於調漲的產品品項與幅度,羅文聖指出,開會後將可確定,初估每杯的調漲幅度約在5元左右。

丹堤、85度C暫不調

除此之外,丹堤和85度C皆表示,暫時不會跟進。丹堤咖啡副總經理徐恆鈞表示,消費者對末端售價的反應相當敏感,加上今年整體市場的消費力比去年弱,所以 暫時不會跟進,而會先自行吸引成本。85度C行銷總監楊欲奇指出,因與原物料廠商採年約制,所以今年年底前都還不會調價。

Day 1- 7/14/2007- Taipei to London

After the long trip on plan, we are finally lying on the bed in London Hotel. This is my first time taking EVA air to Britain, normally by BA. When we landed at Heathrow, it's already 9pm and we still got a long queue in front of the customer. After a few minutes of getting lost nearby Hyde Park, I'm now really need some rest. We're going to Cardiff tomorrow!

Trip in Paris

I was in a graduation trip last week, in Cardiff. It was really good to see everybody again, especially we are all separated all over the world. But the mom and I were heading into Paris, where I've lived for a short while when I was 6. Paris changes a lot, I have to say. We've tried to find where we lived in Villejuif but we just can't find it!! In the next few days, we tried to walk all the tourists attractions in Paris and this is really exhausted!! My feet hurts a lot and all we can do is visit them roughly. Too bad that we didn't have a chance to try the truly French escogot, but we tried the macaron in Piere Herme. It tastes really good, a little too sweet for me but still good!! I like the jasmine flavor. Happy time always goes very fast, now I am in Taipei again and start working..... still a happy experience in Paris!!

Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix [movie]

I went to see the movie HP5 in IMAX cinema yesturday. To be honest, I didn't even like the fifth book because Harry seems is only a grumpy teenager in the story. Anyway, the movie is nice, they didn't put much effort on the "side story" such as OWLS test or the Weasley twins, and the battle in the ministry with 3D glasses looks really cool. The only thing I was not statisfied with is that the screen in IMAX theater is just tooooooooo big and I have to keep turing my head left and right to see the movie. I think I'm going to see the 2D movie againg few weeks after, but this is a very special experience.

Environment= My Care^2

I saw this on my way home on MRT. It is on the paper bag of Eslite Bookstore, and I really like it. It was suppose to be Einstain's something theory (which I should remember, but I didn't, ha!!). I think it is really cool, and hoping that our planet would not be destroyed before I dead.

Guam

I had a trip in Guam during the Chinese New Year( from Feb17-21). The sea is beautiful and I just can't find the word to describe it. The first day when we arrived, the tour guide took us to the sight seeing but to be honestly, I don't think there's any place worth seeing in Guam. So we fell asleep on the bus after a few places. At the first night we went to the duty free mall ( It is just too big to call it a "shop"). But they have all the most expensive brands in the world there so I didn't do any shopping but only "window shopping"

The second day we went to a luxury hotel call 'Pacific Island Club(PIC) '. They have fantastic water activities. The place was so full of people and unforntunatly the wind surfing class were all full when we tried to book it- I really want to have a try>.
There was no schdule on our third day so my uncle rent a car and drove us around the island. Guam is so small that we could drive around within one day. We went to Cocos Island and Yokoi cave, some tourist spots but I found it not so attractive.

We went back to Taiwan after the outlet shopping. But still I didn't buy any thing. My view to Guam is: this is a really good place for water activies but for sight seeing? Better choose another place! But it is still a good place to spend your vacation!!

blogs

I started another new blog in myspace recently, for the class blog used. I really can't understand why can a person having so many blogs but not using them very often? I think I started it 2 years ago, because I studied far away home- either in Tainan or Wales. So I worte for my mom and my dad so that they can know what happens to me when I was at school. As everyone all knows, I am an ediot in computer stuff(strangely I am now working in a IT-related PR company, ha!) so I tried this all the afternoon still can't I sort this myspace blog out. I guess I will only using it for the class blog. NO MORE NEW BLOGS PLEASE!!!!!

working as an AE

I started my first job in my life last Monday, it's a PR AE in Taipei city. Three months ago I finished my course in Cardiff and came back to my home sweet home. It was fun to hanging around with my friends and fimaly, but sooner or later I started to feel bored and pressure because everytime when someone saw me, the only thing they asked would be: what are you doing now, have you got a job? That was quite annoying and I didn't want to put myself into this kind of circumstance. So, I started my job hunting and my interviewing, and finally I got this job. The work of my job is to monintoring the news of our clients, no matter on newspapers, magazines, online, and put it into records. These are what I do so far because the client I'm doing have no events right now. But I heard that there could be a launch conference in the end of Jan, hope I can go, too!!
