Keep my promise to guard you even headless 永恆的守護之諾

Promised to keep you safe from all evils a hundred years ago

Decades gone by, me and the lion are still here despite my decapitation

See my strong gesture and hear the lion’s roar

We’ll always be up here for you.

[my own photo, my own…. words… ]

Note. This is a common seen guardian goddess in Quemoy (Kinmen) Island of Taiwan. They call it Wind Lion God (風獅爺). This one was set on roof and the knight on the lion has lost his head. Still looks formidable. 這是金門常見的風獅爺，風獅爺在金門到處都是，這一個位在屋頂，騎獅者已經斷頭，但威武鎮攝之氣勢卻依舊長存！

Memo - Save me from the Steemit Prison ... Or not.

Yeah. I am in prison, according to this page… LOL

https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/29/steemitprison78df9.png

Please save me. Which prison? Of course the Steemit prison (beta). It quite describes my current situation - I am truly locked up by this platform. Need to escape. No physical walls. It’s me who wants to be locked away.

Memo it just for fun. Keep steeming, inmates!

Mottled Walls Bathed in Sunset Glow 牆之不成詩 (my first serious non-poem at Steemit)

Mottled Walls Bathed in Sunset Glow 牆之不成詩 (my first serious non-poem at Steemit)

Some old photographs to share. A non-poem at the end only in Chinese. As even in Chinese I dare not call it a poem, let’s skip the thought of sharing an English one. True poems are in the photos themselves.

牆之不成詩

斑駁的牆面無語卻說著百年長的故事

總在不厭倦的夕陽日日酉時報到後開始

關於人、人與人以及人與人與人的無數重複輪迴

沉睡多時的窗子彷彿就要有人推窗探頭

嘿！能不能別再說了

縫隙裡竄出的堅韌綠意迎著風似乎回應著

好好睡你的吧

我們

還要再聽一百年呢

[steemit exclusive] Aftermath of Typhoon MEGI ... Live reporting #2 梅姬颱風災情第一手報導

Yesterday I have reported d-live about Typhoon Megi that hits Taiwan (see here)… and today it has left at least we have a rather good weather day in Taipei - people coming out to clean all the mess it has brought and enjoying another holiday if you don’t have serious damage in your house. At least most people who live in Taipei should have little damage. 昨天為梅姬颱風做了第一手報導(看這裡)，今天颱風已經遠離，天氣還不錯，大家都出來整理環境，或是享受難得的假期，對！今天又放假了，原本是9/28台灣的教師節放假，再加上颱風原本預估還走不遠所以也放… 不過，台北災情並不嚴重，雖然這次颱風的強風是今年第二強。

My friend, A, who supplied me with the video in the previous report, gets excited after I told him that his video is viewed by people all over the world. So he sent me more photos of the damages caused by this typhoon around his neighborhood. As I promised a free drink to him for his video, now I will have to upgrade to a free meal! 昨天供給我影片的朋友A，是被我說要請他喝飲料而拍的，聽到我說要給全世界的人看他的影片後很興奮，今天又發來很多新的他家附近的”災情”照片，看來我可能下次要請他吃頓飯才成。

Most damages are on trees in the park, some are on shop signboards… these are no shocking images as they are firsthand photos from normal people like my friend. But they give you a sense of what typhoon might cause if you are not familiar with this kind of natural disaster. Be respectful to Nature - don’t over develop our beautiful planet! 大部分災情都是在公園裡的樹木，有些是在商店的招牌，沒有太驚人的照片因為這只是一般人可以拍到的範圍，但是你大概會知道所謂颱風在城市裡面帶來的災害大概就是這樣子。大自然的力量還是很驚人的，永遠要對自然懷著敬畏之心哪！

The big “X” on shop windows are common precaution measures (tapes).. heard that this is effective… 窗戶用膠帶黏上X型據說可以防風…

Typhoon MEGI hits directly ... Live reporting from Taiwan 梅姬颱風登陸台灣實況報導

This is probably the most powerful typhoon we have here in Taiwan so far this year. We have a day off today in most parts of this island. Wind blowing crazy with scattering rains … we are quite used to it actually. See how this typhoon Megi hits Taiwan full frontal in a TV news shot by me.

可能是今年最大的颱風梅姬正登陸台灣中… 台灣本島大部分地方今天都放假。這個颱風結構完整、正面迎來，請見下方的電視新聞畫面。看來，我們幫福建的朋友擋了第一波攻擊啊！^^

https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/27/IMG_20160927_145558f763a.jpg

I don’t have a good view from my place. So I took two videos from my friends (authorized too) to share with you LIVE from Taipei and HsinChu. Remember to turn your volume on to experience it.

家裡沒有好視野，找了兩個朋友拍攝的自家影像來分享，一個在台北，一個在新竹。記得調高音量比較有感覺！

Friend A in Taipei

Friend B in HsinChu - Central part of Taiwan

First a photo of damage he had in his backyard and second a video from his top floor.

Hope everyone is and will be okay .,, typhoon won’t leave until tomorrow noon…

希望全台民眾都可以安渡此颱風，明天中午過後颱風才會離開…今晚是颱風夜了！

PPAP - AKA Pen Pineapple Apple Pen - has created a new hype around Asia... Warning!! It might be addictive!!

https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/26/2016-09-2712.55.460ecdf.png

Repeat after me first: `Pen Pineapple Apple Pen`. If you don’t find this combination of words interesting, you can stop reading on…

First, do you still remember Mr Psy from Korea who sings ‘Gangnam Style’ and made the world crazy about the song!? Well. this time, a Japanese uncle might be doing the same again soon and he is not even a singer…

Yes! This middle-aged Japanese man has created a new hype around Asia with his …. well, song? creation? You can see and listen for yourself. Basically the lyrics is… pen, apple, pineapple, pen, … thus the PPAP abbreviation. Why is this weird ‘song’ so popular in Asia right now? Maybe you have your own answer!

This youtube video is the most viewed under PPAP search.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E00Zuayv9Q

Here you can see a lot of followers of this Jap PPAP uncle, doing their own version of PPAP. Starting with a pair of cute twin girls!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2527yFt4wRU

After listening to these magical rhythms, first I was like WTF… then as you listen to different versions … finally you will find yourself HUMMING after it!

Please be careful … It might get ADDICTIVE !

牆之不成詩

[steemit exclusive] Aftermath of Typhoon MEGI ... Live reporting #2 梅姬颱風災情第一手報導

First, some minor damages of the neighbors… 首先是鄰居的小損失…

Poor trees took most hit from the crazy strong wind … 可憐的樹木總是受傷慘重…

Biggest fallen tree got chopped off … 大樹倒了已經被鋸斷…

Playground bombed … 像是被炸過的兒童遊樂場…

Shop signboards… 招牌被吹掉不少 …
