What’s the way to appreciate with what the year 2011 has done to you even if the business is slack in the first quarter, the mid-year somehow climbs up with the familiar curbs, and at the moment waiting for the slow closing?

People hope for a fresh start when a new year comes. Some people who are in tough situations still deny the negative vibes and wishing for at least a little change in their lives. Optimistic people may still feel inadequate due to constant competition in their environment. The short-lived desires that are inspired by the… [Read more…]

On September 11, 2001, I was in Carson in Los Angeles when my parents woke me up and said that an airplane hit New York’s World Trade Center. I immediately ran to the living room to have watched on TV when another plane hit the tower. I felt this saddest news in the history of… [Read more…]

I didn’t expect Toy Story 3 would be more emotional and the best Toy Story movie. I can’t wait to add it in my few Pixar collection. But do I need to buy the 3-D TV first? I got The Art of Pixar 100 Collectible Postcards at Comic Con 2008 in San Diego, California. I… [Read more…]

After reading this link about “What your email address says about your computer skills”, I thought of making my own version — What your email address says about YOU! own domain = personal branding; virtual narcissistic; proud of his/her organization @gmail.com = most likely to use google chat (and invisible in YM); deleting emails is… [Read more…]

“I hope you enjoyed flying with us. My name is John from Virgin America. If you didn’t, my name is Danny from Pan Am.” I forgot the names our pilot said when we touched down La Guardia Airport in New York. But I won’t forget the humor that I and the 2 British guys on… [Read more…]

While disappointed with the news that Kobe Bryant would not play for this year’s All-Star game, having seen the most boring 3-point shootout and Slam Dunk contest, and the not so good seat added to one of the reasons why I didn’t buy the jacket in American Airlines Center during the first 2 nights of… [Read more…]
