This 14th of May of 2025 is cloudy skies interspersed with blue spaces. I walked to the Roman Catholic church on St. Albans Road twice, once in the morning and again in the afternoon, my 12th and 13th times this spring. In the morning was confession for the little boys and girls in uniform. They were of different races, in the big worship hall. The priest was in the confession booth talking to a student. At the Adoration Chapel, I noticed a nice pot of orchids on the front left. In the afternoon, the big worship hall was mostly empty, a condition which I usually prefer. At the road was a handsome muscle man in white tank top jogging. The big purple-bloom tree seems like an Empress Tree, a Paulownia, because of the big heart-shaped leaves. Reminiscent of Jacaranda with its purple blooming, it's saudade for me about South America. At Tim Hortons café, I enjoyed Scrambled Eggs with Sausage and Potatoes and an Earl Grey Tea with oat milk in the morning, and an Iced Classic Lemonade in the afternoon. The day was full of walking. At home, I study bits of Lojban and Esperanto. I have many books in Esperanto. I tend towards Animism-Buddhism in my Syncretism.
2025 年 5 月 14 日，天空多云，间或有蓝色空间。我两次走到圣奧尔本斯路上的罗马天主教堂，一次在早上，一次在下午，这是我今年春天第 12 次和第 13 次。早上，穿着制服的小男孩和小女孩们在寬敞的礼拜堂里懺悔。他们来自不同的种族。神父在告解室和一个学生交谈。在崇拜小堂，我注意到左前方有一盆漂亮的兰花。下午，寬敞的礼拜堂几乎空无一人，我通常更喜欢这种状态。路边有个穿着白色背心的英俊肌肉男在慢跑。那棵开着紫色花朵的大树看起来像一棵皇后树，一棵泡桐，因为它有着大大的心形叶子。它让我想起开着紫色花朵的蓝花楹，让我对南美洲充满了怀念。在提姆霍頓斯咖啡馆，我早上享用了香腸马鈴薯炒蛋和一杯燕麥奶伯爵茶，下午又喝了一杯经典冰檸檬水。这一天我都在散步。在家，我学习了一些邏輯语和世界语。我有很多世界语书籍。我的融合主义傾向是万物有灵论和佛教。
On the 14th of April of 2015, I walk to the Richmond Public Market, I first climbing the stairs outside. Inside, the wide atrium-like building is like a garden in a jungle surrounding, I imagine. Already quite hungry, I trot to Captain Wa, the food vendor, to get noodles with squid, fish, and tofu, as well as hot tea. As I eat, a handsome First Nations man in a purple T-shirt walks by. Then a handsome, stocky Jewish fellow walks by. A few minutes later, I begin to thirst, so I get a cold Mint Bubble Green Tea at the vendor QQ Bubble Tea and Coffee. I sit by the stairs to sip. A threesome family sits eating nearby, the man being black, the woman being Oriental, and the child being a hybrid. Addicted to Bubble Tea, I get another one, this time at Peanut's. It is a cold Green Apple Bubble Green Tea. It is delicious. I take the escalator down. On my way to the washroom, I notice a big aquarium full of probably giant red Alaskan king crabs with barnacles on their legs. They remind me of extraterrestrials, somehow. At the bookstore, I buy a heavily illustrated green botany book in sinograms. I left it on top of a box a month ago and it is still there. It is $14. I take the escalator up. Addicted to Bubble Tea, I spend my remaining coins on a cold Lychee Bubble Green Tea. It is delicious with even bits of white lychee flesh.
2015 年 4 月 14 日，我步行前往列治文公共市场，先是爬上了外面的階梯。市场内部寬敞的中庭式建築，让我感觉彷彿置身于丛林之中。我当时已经有点餓了，便小跑到小吃攤「瓦船长」那里，点了一份面和一杯热茶。面里有魷魚、魚和豆腐。我吃着吃着，一位穿着紫色 T 恤的英俊原住民男子从我身边走过。接着，一位身材魁梧、相貌英俊的猶太人也走了过来。几分鐘后，我开始觉得口渴，于是在「QQ 珍珠奶茶与咖啡」买了一杯冰镇薄荷珍珠綠茶。我坐在階梯旁慢慢品嚐。附近坐着一家三口吃東西，男人是黑人，女人是東亚人，小孩是混血儿。我喝珍珠奶茶上癮，于是在「花生家」又买了一杯。这次是冰镇青蘋果珍珠綠茶，味道好极了。我搭扶梯下楼。去洗手间的路上，我注意到一个大水族箱，里面养着大概是体型巨大的阿拉斯加红帝王蟹，蟹腿上长满了藤壺。不知怎的，牠们让我想起了外星生物。在书店里，我买了一本图文並茂的綠色植物学书籍，上面用的是汉字。一个月前我把它放在一个箱子上，现在还在那里。这本书 14 塊钱。我搭扶梯上楼。我对珍珠奶茶还是有癮，于是用剩下的零钱买了一杯冰荔枝珍珠綠茶。味道好极了，里面甚至还有白色的荔枝果肉。
How handsome!
好英俊！
