我真的很詫異也很失望，說好的父親節竟然取消。我聽到姑姑跟媽媽不管我在不在都要辦父親節，所以為了想要參與，我在我出國前，就有要在美國準備禮物的構想。所以當我聽到父親節照常舉辦，而且在大姑姑重新裝潢的家，我每天都期待著這天的到來。我最先的想法是，拍照片做成powerpoint，後來我想要跟父親節有關，所以決定拍成video。我一得知辦父親節活動的消息後便跑去找勤一哥哥，跟他說我想拍影片的想法，他說：「我們可以找在這裡的朋友，教他們說中文的父親節快樂。」我覺得這是好主意，所以就開始著手進行。

影片越來越多，這是跟帥哥搭訕的好機會，我發現台灣人反而害羞不敢拍，看到其他人大方拍後才敢拍。因為這裡的時間比較慢，所以我們得在8/7就做好。因為我不會做影片，所以我請我同班同學教我，可是哥哥說他會做，所以後來交給哥哥做，可是哥哥在小玲姑姑家時又說要我做，我想說隔天就要八月八日了，所以我的目的是〝完成〞為優先。因為是第一次自己摸索影片怎麼製作，所以無法達到哥哥的要求，不過我希望在活動中呈現給大家看，藉由父親節順道告訴大家我愛大家。

當小玲姑姑在晚上十一點多載我回到宿舍後，我急著上傳到網路上，想著活動已經開始了，希望能趕得上在結束前上傳，上傳完畢趕緊打開MSN看有沒有人在線上，只看到庭浩哥哥，心想他在高雄沒能參加，便請他打電話跟大家說我已經上傳完畢，結果他回我今年沒有舉辦父親節活動…...

I almost cry. I can’t believe it. I thought maybe he didn’t know, so I asked him for a phone call. Sadly, the answer was the same. Meanwhile, my brother said the video I made was awful, I started to cry. I wanted to make it perfect, but I chose to finish it before the event, and the truth was that there was not any event. I was sad and my brother kept criticizing the video, so I cried. In fact, I was shocked, and I became really sad, angry, and disappointed about the whole incident. I don’t know what to do. It’s terrible. It’s awful. There is no more words can describe this fucked up situation. What’s going on? God damn it. Anyway I still love you guys; I still love my family.
