累壞大人的唱跳課 @ 美育奧福景美校
美育奧福 - http://www.kidsmusic.com.tw/
話說, Wendy 媽某日收到 eDM, 說是九月底可以免費試上的兒童課程, 好哇, 當然要試試看瑄喜不喜歡, 就去囉... 這天來到景美的美育奧福 (天母家隔壁條巷子也有一家, 週末去看到總是人山人海的...), 洗好手手就進去教室囉... 老師先放兒童音樂給大家聽...
然後就是教關於 "圓形" 的概念, 比方說唱 "圓圓月亮" 的歌, 滾著圓圓呼拉圈跑步, 繞圈圈打各種樂器... 之類的... 內容是都很不錯啦, 瑄瑄高不高興我是不知道, 但 50 分鐘弄下來, Wendy 媽的確是累得一個老骨頭快散了...
到最後 Wendy 媽還是沒決定要參加, 原因有三個.
1. 當天那位老師好像不太熟練, 還要不時翻文件看下一步要帶什麼活動, 和小朋友互動也沒有說很活潑~
2. 場地好像有膽雜亂, 每間教室外堆滿鞋子, 教室內似乎有一個腳臭味... 這... 給小小孩玩的環境, 可以弄更乾淨一點...
3. 活動方面, 方式好像也是跟 "故事島" 差不多, 就是給小朋友拿各種樂器啦, 唱唱歌啦, 帶舞蹈啦... 只是說故事島的 Bunny 姐姐活潑多了... 這樣的話, 花 NT$200/hour 去故事島就好啦... 似乎沒必要再花五六千來玩類似的活動了...
Anyways, 等瑄滿三歲, 再帶去上一些可獨立進去上的課好了. 現在不管玩什麼兒童課程, 都要 Wendy 媽在一旁伺候著, 真的會累死我呀... (瑄已達 16 公斤, 三不五時就要媽媽抱, 媽媽抱...) 等以後阿慈長大點, 也要開始上的話, Wendy 媽可能會被壓扁吧...

有點 "太貴" 的童畫塗鴉 @ Gymboree 敦北健寶園
Gymboree 健寶園 - http://www.gymboree.com.tw/
除了唱歌, 跳舞, 玩化妝品, 玩辦家家酒... 之外, 瑄瑄也最愛畫畫了. 這天 Wendy 媽, 阿媽, 瑄瑄與慈慈, 一同來到 Gymboree 敦北館, 要給瑄瑄參加畫畫課 (Arts) 課一小時. Well, 其實瑄瑄是以體驗價去參加的, 要不然的話, 平常畫個一小時就要 NT$800 耶, 若有加入會員, 也要 NT$790 耶... 這... 根據試上過的內容, Wendy 媽是認為不太值得啦! 要是真的是錢多到沒處花, 想當個 "日日燒錢的媽媽", 再去 Gymboree 畫畫好了, 否則的話, 其實畫筆多買幾盒在家畫也是一樣的哩... 那這五十分內是在弄些什麼, 還要 NT$800 呢? 就是以下四個內容:
1. 顏料滾輪 - 將一張很大的圖畫紙貼在牆上, 一人一張, 接著一人發一支滾輪, 老師發數種顏色, 給小朋友沾色隨意滾動, 滾出自己的配色與創意. 瑄瑄是玩得渾然忘我啦... 這樣大約滾個十分鐘...
2. 唸故事書 - 接下來收一收, 將手擦一擦, 就坐下來唸故事書, 唸了十分鐘...
3. 做相框 - 每人發一張框框狀的色紙, 再發一些細小的亮晶晶的星星, 就是要小朋友利用膠水將亮亮的東西貼在畫紙上, 是可以訓練小朋友的手指靈活度... 也大約貼了個十分鐘...
4. 串珠珠 - 最後十分鐘, 老師拿出拼圖和串珠, 就是給小朋友練習手眼並用. 要將各種顏色, 形狀的串珠一一串到線上, 是要有手眼協調的能力的, 也是不錯的練習啦...
一小時內大約做上述四個活動, 不可諱言的, 都是非常好的練習, 只是說, 塗壓啦, 唸故事啦, 串珠啦... 這些家裏就有啦, 在家做就好啦, 花八百去那弄幹嘛?! (坐計程車來回也要四百咧~) 本來以為是說會有與眾不同的 Arts 活動, 比方說顏料調色啦, 給小朋友著色畫彩蛋啦... 之類比較不同的節目... 結果是感覺花這 NT$800 有點不太值得啦...

瑄瑄的芭蕾舞初體驗 @ 天母成均舞蹈學苑
話說, 瑄瑄到了快三歲這個階段, 最愛唱歌跳舞的了. 每早起來看 MoMo 兒童台, 看到節目中有小朋友帶動唱的, 就會跟著手舞足蹈了起來, 還說 "媽媽, 我也要進去電視裏面跳..." 但常常會遭到樓下鄰居的抗議說太吵了... 這... 好吧, 就去找找跳舞班, 給瑄瑄去跳個夠吧...
這天來到了天母西路上麥當勞後面的 "成均舞蹈學苑", 一進門看到高雅美麗的老師, 她說還是可以試試看啦, 但一般來說還是要滿三歲的小朋友才聽得懂指令喔... 那既然瑄瑄這麼愛跳, 就還是換舞衣, 由媽媽陪著進去跳跳看好了... 愛漂亮的瑄穿上可愛的芭蕾舞衣, 自然是開心到一個不行了... 進到教室, 看到有美國的, 日本的, 印度的, 和台灣的小朋友哩... 老師也都還要講英文日文呢, 有夠厲害的啦! 跳了個十分鐘, 這下好了, 瑄瑄開始怯場了, 一直要媽媽抱... 只好抱著她在一旁觀看.
媽媽們可能會說, 坊間唱唱跳跳的兒童教室也是一堆呀, 那 Amy's Dance 有何不同呢? Well, 根據 Wendy 媽在裏面看了十分鐘的觀察, 她們放的音樂是真的芭蕾舞的音樂喔, 不是隨便說放兒歌就隨便跳那種. 另外, 教的動作也是芭蕾舞的基本動作, 不是就比手劃腳動一動就好的哩...
其實呀, 根據濤濤老師 (雲門舞集舞者) 的建議, 小孩最好是到 7-10 歲之間再學芭蕾, 太早學的話, 恐怕腿部的發展會有問題呢... 所以說, 三四歲這種兒童芭蕾舞, 可以說是一種 "幼兒律動" 吧... 就是早些接觸音樂, 和動動身體吧... (價格方面, 因為瑄瑄第一次試跳十分鐘是免費啦, 要不然一般好像是 NT$ 500 左右 / 一小時), 粉紅色舞衣大約是 NT$600 左右, 要另外買喔!
再過幾個月, 瑄瑄就滿三歲囉... 到時就可以再到 Amy's Dance 去跳幼兒的芭蕾律動課囉...
力大無窮的精油按摩 @ Luxe Resort 會館
Luxe Resort - http://www.luxe-resort.com
Tel: 02-8772-8151
Open: 10am-10pm
眼看九月份又快過了, 趕緊來 update 一下 blog, 平時抱小慈等於是雙手被綁架了一樣, 今天善爸來顧, 就來補一篇 Wendy 媽最愛的 spa 文章吧! 話說 Wendy 媽已開始去上濤濤老師的 Jazz 伸展課了, 上完一小時之後, 筋骨是有鬆開一點, 若是可以乘勝追擊馬上來個全身精油舒壓按摩, 那就再完美也不過了... 東看西看, 看上在濤濤老師舞蹈館附近的兩家 spa - "依聖詩" 和 "路克" 芳療館 (兩家都是步行兩分鐘內的路程~). 後來比較一下價格, 路克的每小時精油按摩大約是 NT$1,300 左右, 比依聖詩的便宜許多, 就約好某天上完 Jazz 的時間來體驗囉...
來到位於幽靜的大安路上的 Luxe Resort, 門面清爽明亮. 進到內部裝潢和坐椅也是簡單舒適. 被領去澡間, 很大也很乾淨, 沖澡水柱也很強, 只是有兩個小問題, 其一是水溫有點忽冷忽熱, 其二是換的衣服好像有點怪 (不是潔白的浴袍, 而是灰色的男性套頭 T-Shirt/短褲組, 後來因為不想穿, 就穿我自己的 T-Shirt~).
接下來來到 B1 按摩房間, 大大的擺了三張床, 但美容師說一般不會把互不認識的客人安排在同一間按, 所以不用擔心! 美容師 Betty 進來了, 是一位身材頗魁梧的小姐, 聲音也很宏亮, 個性很開朗的樣子! 開始按就有感覺不一樣了, Betty 的按壓力道非常大, 雖然多少會酸痛, 但卻是那種氣結被揉開化開的感覺! 相較之下, 給 iYoga 的 Grace 按摩時會睡著, 但給 Betty 按時肯定是睡不著的啦! 整個人就會在感覺酸痛又感覺筋骨舒暢中度過~ Betty 可以說是 Wendy 媽遇到過按壓力道最大的芳療師了啦! 好吧, 即便 Luxe Resort 設備不會像 QiSpa 一般 user-friendly, 但衝著 Betty 的力大無窮, Wendy 媽還是會再來的啦! 若有興趣的媽媽/小姐也要去的話, 記得要找 Betty 喔!
另外, Luxe Resort 也有做美甲保養的服務, 但價格好像有點過高, 手足同時深層保養就要 NT$2,800 了... 這... 比凱洛莉足足貴出一千塊... 我想我是不會在這做手足的部份. 十月份可能還會推出做臉的服務. 對了, Luxe Resort 以有做男性舒壓部份喔, 男性的按摩部份應該就是穿著衣服做中式的推拿那樣吧... 就不是精油的按摩... 可以再自行打電話去詢問細節囉...

和音樂做好朋友 @ YAMAHA 紅蘋果班
YAHAMA 和音樂做好朋友 - http://www.yamahakhs.com/yms9802/index.htm
紅蘋果班介紹 - http://www.yamahakhs.com/yms/kclass5_1.asp
剛剛開了 blog 起來看, 哇, 上次寫是十天前了... 最近 Wendy 媽真的有忙到 - 台大開學了, 要看課程要寫 case; 要交 TOEIC 新講義, 要看 Minitab 課程, 要看 iWriting 課程... etc. 還要開始帶瑄瑄去每週五早上的 "大叫 ABC" 課程, 阿慈開始要站起來了, 眼睛要一直盯著她... etc. 總之, 就是一整個超忙的就對了...
今天, 無論再如何想愛睏, 還是要來 po 一下分享! Wendy 要分享的消息, 是有關於兒童音樂方面的課程! 話說當瑄瑄一歲在 "抓週" 的時候, 床上擺了鈔票啦, 皮夾啦, 川普的致富 CD 啦... 等一堆 Wendy 媽期望靠她發大財的東西在那給她抓, 沒想到, 瑄瑄視金錢如糞土, 對身外之物看都不看一眼, 就去抓了一個玩具樂器 (記得是一把吉他) 來玩! 好吧! 瑄瑄是女生, 愛玩音樂變得有美女氣質也是不錯啦... 所以說, 現在瑄兩歲七個月囉, 開始接觸音樂也是剛好的時間點囉...
某日經過台大附近的 YAHAMA 音樂教室掛出的 banner, 看到秋季課程在招生囉, 打電話去問, 說是 2.5 歲適合上的 "紅蘋果班" (摘自 YAMAHA 網頁介紹如下.) 要在南京東路二段的本部才有開課, 因為針對小小孩的音樂環境, 樂器... 等, 都要特別經過規劃才行的哩... 喔, 好吧, 為了小孩, 再遠的教室也是要抱著去吧... 於是, 打電話去幫瑄瑄報了名了, 十月中就要開始上課囉...
2.5歲的幼兒對周遭環境充滿好奇，趣味的音樂表演，讓他們學習身體律動。這裡還有雙手遊戲歌，更可以配合有節奏感的曲子，讓親子一起敲敲打打；而音樂幻想劇，透過色彩豐富的繪本導覽小朋友進入音樂的故事裡，欣賞音樂，喜歡音樂！
家有小小孩 (2.5 歲以上) 的媽媽, 若有興趣也可自行打電話去詢問囉, 聯絡資訊如下. 2009 年十月份的課程是每週三 10am-10:50am 喔! (價格的話話, 十堂 NT$4,725, 只收現金, 不可刷卡...)

1. A central premise of our teaching about leadership at the Yale School of Management is that true leadership—leadership that helps to address a significant problem in a new way—is necessarily personal. It is only when personal passion aligns with meaningful aspirations that individuals are able to inspire others to act in support of an important goal or cause. What are you most passionate about, and how have you demonstrated a commitment to this passion?
2. What achievement are you most proud of and why?
3. What is the most difficult feedback you have received from another person or the most significant weakness you have perceived in yourself? What steps have you taken to address it and how will business school contribute to this process?
4. Describe a situation in which you devised and implemented a creative or unique solution to a difficult problem. What obstacles did you face and how did you overcome them?
5. Required for reapplicants: What steps have you taken to improve your candidacy since your last application?
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (OPTIONAL)
If any aspect of your candidacy needs further explanation, please provide any additional information that you would like the Admissions Committee to consider. (250 words maximum)

說大不大; 說小不小的 "美眉" 問題
人的臉上, 眼睛, 鼻子, 嘴巴... 等五官, 除非使用整形方式, 要不然要更動改變是有點困難了, 那眉毛呢? 對了! 眉毛也是會影響面容表情非常重要的關鍵, 而且眉毛是可以被修改的哩! 女性的眉毛長得太粗, 太黑, 或太長, 看起來可能會有比較兇悍, 不親切, 與老態的感覺! 所以說, Wendy 媽對定期給人修剪眉形也是非常注重的哩!
若四處給化妝品專櫃的小姐修也是可以啦~ 但可能會怕不好意思, 就順便買保養品了, 反而傷了荷包~ 今天來介紹兩個 Wendy 常去修眉的地方與方式:
1. 五十元修眉 - Wendy 媽娘家附近的曼都髮廊, 二樓有附設美容部. 美容師洪小姐很親切, 也有提供只修眉的服務. 一次只要 NT$50 而已, 重點是她修的又快又好! 每次修完之後, 整個看起來俐落又有精神, 表情都活了起來! Wendy 媽大約四到六週會去修一次! 洪小姐真的是 Wendy 媽數年來修過眉毛中技術最好的一位了! 有興趣的媽媽/小姐可以以下的方式聯絡她!
美容師 - 洪淑瓊小姐
手機 - 0963-080-926
電話 - 02-2930-6723
地址 - 台北市興隆路2段91號2F
2. Benefit 蜜蠟修眉 - 美國化妝品品牌 Benefit 有附設的蜜蠟修眉也不賴! 標榜說不使用剃刀, 而是使用熱蠟脫眉毛. 效果就是眉毛被連根拔起, 再長出來的會變較細, 且生長速度會變慢! 一次大約要花半小時吧, 美容師會幫妳描眉形, 以熱蠟脫眉/雜毛, 再鎮定... 花費方面一次是 NT$600, 可是若剛好有要買化妝品的話, 可能可以要求免費抵消喔... 另外, Benefit 也有賣修眉的 kit, 有興趣的人可以打電話 02-2722-7781 諮詢相關時間/專櫃地點喔!
其實修眉商家當然也是很多啦... 有些改運修眉的也是要三四百吧... 目前, Wendy 媽就是靠 NT$50 的林小姐和久久一次的蜜蠟修眉來交替, 修一次就可以撐非常久的時間囉~
