週末回台北拿寄來的卡片跟生日禮物 :-p 。星期天剛好也是母上生日，被抓去廚房負責把冰箱的菜變成桌上的菜。
啦啦啦，把卡片用相框立起來～ 倒是這樣就看不到裡面那句更好笑的話了：

Republic Day
Today is the date marks the establishment of Republic of China. Many people from Taiwan might refer you that today is the “Double Ten Day”, but the term is not self explanatory, and today (1010) has really nothing to do with binary numbering. The correct term should be “Republic Day.”
Republic of China(ROC) was (is?) the first Chinese Republic, which ends Chinese monarchy in 1911. After World War II, Communists bets Nationalist who leads R.O.C. and form their second Chinese Republic – People’s Republic of China (PRC). Nationalists then bore the ROC name and fled to Taiwan. Before that, Taiwan was a Japanese colony for 50 years (1895-1945).
The ROC government continued acting as Chinese governments in exile until 1994, a document implicitly recognise the existence of PRC and place ROC as the government represents the Taiwanese people, willing to negotiate for peaceful unification (at the time.)
The new ruling party from 2000, which is pro independence though, push for the formal reorganisation of PRC and ourselves. Plans includes legally change the name of the state to Taiwan instead of ROC which suggested itself as a Chinese government in exile. To do that, with formally “giving up” the sovereignty over China, a constitutional change, even a new constitution has to be in place. PRC sees these reform as a move toward formal independence against China, and thread the use of force. Pro unification parties also rejects the idea.
For your information. I hope what I wrote above can clean things up for you, and answer the question “why Taiwan is formally named Republic of China?” in mind.
With legal point of view, de jule status of Taiwan can only be certain if a treaty was made by China, Japan and United States. But sadly, such treaty can never took place after a serious war, probably World War III. And nothing in the international law says the future if Taiwan should consider the will of Taiwanese residence (the US Taiwan Relation Act does though). Taiwan has operate herself independently for 57 years without a formal status, and is likely to do so for decades (or caught into a war which is the last thing I would like to see).
智齒
前幾個星期去拔了上側的兩顆智齒。它們是健康而且(我覺得)有功能的牙齒，只是長歪向外側禿出。因為刷不乾淨而開始蛀牙，半年之內就蛀掉一半，剛好把凸出來的部份蛀掉。
開始痛之後才想要拔；好不容易擠進醫生早已排滿的暑假預約；去了醫院，醫生花了兩分鐘就把牙齒拔下來了(一邊唸我怎麼把牙齒搞成這樣)。
拔下來才看懂為什麼刷不乾淨；用手指摸的到的蛀牙只是個小洞，但洞很深會一路到象牙質，然後裡面被蛀空之後外面硬的琺瑯質就會碎掉；這時候大概也蛀到神經了。
結論是：牙齒只要有小洞就要趕快處理；拔智齒會變笨應該要反過來說，是只有笨蛋才會傻傻的讓自己的智齒被蛀掉。
大家要好好照顧自己的牙齒呀，血淋淋的例子在這裡。照了幾張特寫，不想看到 removed body parts 的人請不要點它。
I had my upper wisdom teeth removed on last couple of weeks. I had to, since they were decayed because of my careless.
Here are some photos. Do not click if you are not comfortable seeing removed body parts.
