Long time no post..

Has it been that long since the last post?? A lot has happened, full of joys, full of disappointments and a lot of life lessons. Have started MBA program at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB); Saturday MBA Decided to continue working and developing my career while attending this accelerated MBA program. Two years, Saturdays, 8am - 6pm, quarter system (10 weeks). A lot of work. Third week into it the program, and it has been a lesson trying to juggle and balance, work, gym (yoga, olympic lifting, swimming) and school. I have been constantly studying at library through 12 am. For now, Accounting 500 and Management 500, has taken all of my available time. Learning a lot and getting frustrated a lot. This is what I signed up for.. More post to come...

acceptance over list

Love is not about a list of characteristics you want. It should be about accepting who they are, both good and bad.

The freedom to move forward to new opportunities and to produce results comes from living in the present not the past. -Trung Vu

What Shaun White Teaches Businesss

Nice Business Week article on different view points.

"History is full of examples of greatness sowed in a child's vision when the family could ill afford even the basic necessities. The essence of a vision is that it works in an "opportunity-backward" manner, not a "constraint-forward" manner. In other words, the act of such visioning disregards the scarcity of resources in the present..."

Trouble is part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you enough chance to love you enough.

Cheering up myself

When sad, the best way I cheer myself up is to put smiles on my love ones and friends. Thus I will make my Singapore Chili Crab and trying out a new recipe, salmon poke bowl.

If there is no love then there is room for ill feeling.
Love should rule your heart."

Hypocrisy...

Hypocrisy;
The higher you preach

Example; Eliot Spitzer and the scandal that lead to his resignation

Diamonds heist of the century

Nicely written article from wired magazine about the "diamond heist of the century".

Would make for a good heist movie.

Importance of Sentence Structure...

Sharnig with you a funny email sent to me;

The boss had to fire one person and he narrowed it down to Debra or Jack. It was an impossible decision because they were both super workers. Rather than flip a coin, he decided he would fire the first one who used the water cooler the next morning.

Debra came in the next morning with a horrible hangover after partying all night. She went to the cooler to take an aspirin.


The boss asked her, "Debra, I've never done this before, but I have to lay you or Jack off."

Debra says, "Could you jack off? I feel like shit."

Randomness...

A funny conversation.

Actor 1; Mr. Magoo. Happily married with two babies (Irish twins) and obviously time crunched.
Actor 2: Yours Truly. "It's not the destination. It's the journey."

Yours Truly; You looking at all the snowfall? You thinking what I'm thinking?
Mr. Magoo; Yeah. But Mammoth totally jacked up their rates to $83 bucks.
Yours Truly; WTF?!? For that price, I'd rather fly to Tahoe or Salt Lake City or even Colorado. Take a quick boarding trip for a 3-4 days.
Mr. Magoo; It must be nice being single.

Hooray for the Olympics

I love the Olympics, sports in it's most diverse and international form.

Not quite the official Olympics, but I would give these routines the gold.

Summer in SoCal

It's summer in SoCal and it's the season for fires, especially since the past few winters have been very dry.

The surfer is that good, regardless...

While surfing this past weekend at Huntington Beach (HB) cliffs, a surfer displayed impressive skills. The surfer rocked and humbled us all in the water. There are lots of surfers in the world, the majority are NOT good (i.e. me), some are good, while a select few are above excellent. That surfer was in the above excellent range. It's not unusual to see impressive surfing skills at HB (aka surf city), so we just enjoyed the show while focusing on getting our own waves.

Few hours later, I'm out of the water and finally got to see who that surfer was. The answer both excited and humbled me. The surfer is a current surfing professional and former ASP 2004 Womens Surfing Champion, Sofia Mulanovich. The surfer was that good, regardless of gender.


Note: this is obviously not my personal video, but from youtube. Nevertheless, it's a fair display of her "most excellent" surfing skills...Dude. But in this case, Dudette.
