Sideways - Citizen Cope ft. Santana
You know it isn't easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There are no words to describe it
In French or in English
Cause diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you
That these feelings won't go away
They've been knockin me sideways
They've been knockin me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won't go away
been listening to this song while working...pretty nice blue tune...

Hi Jacky from 2 months later,
How'd your birthday go?
Not bad, coworkers actually bought a cake and we mini-celebrated the birthday during lunch. Headed out to all-you-can-eat BBQ+beer later that night, boy they were happy it was on my treat.
Dad was pissy pissy lately so we didn't really celebrate shit; then after BBQ I hung out with Bread.
Did you get drunk with a bunch of fine looking ladies and talk stupid? I hope you did, at least I'd be proud of you for the fact that you actually did get drunk with nice looking ladies.
Nah...got drunk and talked stupid with Bread, was singing off key with a 2-men live band; talked till like 1am or so, haven't been this drunk for a while; it's not that there weren't nice looking ladies, I haven't had a good time like this for a while so I actually would prefer just talking with Bread.
Anyways, how are you and your co-workers now? Are you still tired of their bitchdom?
We're alright, basically I'm cool if they don't come into my zone, if they do, I just think about happy things.
Do you still want to pencil stab someone? Tell me how you've handled problem no. 1.
Nah I just think about happier things everytime I started to look for a pencil.
And did you hit the gym at least 2-3 times a week? Did you eat and exercise right? How's your belly treating you?
Just this week I started slacking off, you know. Christine and Bread came to Taiwan so we headed out for dinner and drinks several times, with Vivien too. It was a great moment actually because they called me at 8pm when I was about to hit the gym, I couldn't recognize Christine's voice as she called, she played that lame "Guess who I am?" game and I couldn't figure out who it was, so I got pissed and agreed to meet if she told me who she was...
And how did the project go? I hope things went smoothly...
Shiet...it's postponed, scheduled to launch in November but the manager got fired 2 weeks ago... according to the boss he's a talker, not a doer, so we had to find other people. Lesson learned from this mistake though, a manager is only capable of that many things, so this time we hired a 3-people team, each has his/her own expertise. They're coming in on November 3rd. I sure hope they can get this going.
Finally, if you didn't keep up with the solutions, I should slap you silly, but since I can't time-slap you, you know what to do.
LOL...fuck you.
On the other hand though, if you did solve these problems, have a round of applause for yourself and do something wild, wild enough to have more problems for you to solve.
Hm... nothing wild, I'm happy I'm going back to the Bay during Christmas though, you'd never thought of that huh? Mwahahahahahahahaa...!!!
I hope life is treating you well buddy, and I hope you're a bigger man now.
I don't know if I'm any bigger than you, but I am now one year older than you.
Toodles,
Jacky (back in September)
26 begins...
So it's been a full year since I've left the Bay...
Time really do fly fast, a year ago I had no idea what the hell I was going to be doing. There were many expectations though, I told myself I was going to learn as hard as I could, and I think I did.
I suppose it's been a great leap for my 25th year; though somehow I could still see just how much further I am away from what I wanted. I know there's no shortcuts, and now I know I'm not too lost either.
Then there goes the beginning of my 26th year, another 365 days to go till I'm 27. Go Go Go!
See ya'll in two months!
台灣經營之神王永慶在前天10/15/08與世長辭, 享年92.
說實在的, 我也不是非常了解他, 只知道他小學畢業, 勤奮節儉. 16歲自己開米店, 輾轉拓展木材生意, 到最後踏入完全不懂的石化企業, 創造今天的台塑.
在我心中他就好比Einstein名言中的那個人: "Try not to be a man of success, but a man of value."
感覺有種莫名的難過...
看到電視上阿扁還在不知羞恥的每天跟一群無聊民眾搞抗議活動, 為什麼他還沒被關呢? 真的看到煩. 很丟台灣的臉, 不懂為什麼到今天還是有人要挺他, 就因為他搞台獨和民族淨化? 就關起來吧...廢話那麼多. 這個社會真的病了.
馬英九也一樣討厭, 每天都在講要救經濟, 卻沒有實際行動, 只會在台上說: "我們呼籲民眾多多消費, 刺激經濟!" 講廢話...現在就是大家都沒錢要怎麼多多消費? 沒人敢消費吧? 而且出爾反爾, 說一套做一套, 真的感覺他完全就是好看而已, 沒什麼用. 真搞不懂他到底要怎麼帶領台灣.
選前 "馬上好", 選後 "馬上漸漸好", 現在是 "明年會更好"...哇靠! 有一套喔!
還有一堆白癡三聚青胺事件, WHO CARES??? 毒奶粉又怎樣? For your information:
2.5ppm = 2.5g per 1000 Kg
你喝的每一公噸的"毒"奶粉裡面會有2.5克的結晶...人類平均一生中拉出來的屎大概也就那幾噸吧? 每個人都在那邊 2.5ppm喔! 好恐怖喔! 我不敢喝奶粉了啦~~ 小BABY怎麼辦? 2.5ppm啦~~~哇~~~~ 小BABY怎麼辦? 小BABY...可以涼拌炒雞蛋啊! 唉...
看到王永慶走了, 張忠謀說台灣以後也許沒有巨人了, 就連我這個年輕人也真的會感到心酸.
好好努力吧我...
Peace.
I remember my Econ professor warned us back in 2007 that there is going to be a series of recession in the following few years, but it turned out to be quite a serious financial crisis.
First we had the subprime mortage, which reminded me back in the day when I abused my credit card. My credit limit for one card currently is about 3 times my actual income, if I were to max out my card every month soon I'd go broke.
Similarly, many mortage firms and banks and lending too much money, and the economy undergoes rapid shrinkages, causing real estate home values to decline, which in turn causes mortage debts to be higher than the actual prices of homes.
Then there goes mutual funds, business loans, and stocks.
I was watching the news and it is said that the country Iceland is actually going to declare bankrupcy. Iceland was listed one of the best places to be lived in and this year they're declaring bankrupcy. It's amazing though because the country has debts more than 10 times it's annual GDP.
USA is going through a similar situation; back in the Great Depression (1929-1933) the economists blamed the government for not supporting the bank runs (occurs when a large number of bank customers withdraw their deposits because they believe the bank is, or might become, insolvent. ) But in today's case it gets worse because even when the government supplied large sums of cash flow, several banks still collapsed, makes you wonder just how large the bubble really is.
I don't know whether there'll be another Great Depression but currently this seems to be the case, the USA's number one indebted country is Japan, number two is China. Currently EU is going through similar crisis with many major banks delcaring bankrupcy, this trend has slowly but surely spreaded into Asia. 2 maor Japanese banks declared bankrupcy just yesterday.
It's like if USA undergoes this crisis for a longer time, sooner or later China and Japan are not gonna get their money back, and stock/mutual fund investors still couldn't believe how much money they're losing. Some said it is the best time to step into the game and buy low, I think it's stupid because the government spent TRILLIONS of dollars in attempt to save the market and it is still hitting "new lows" everyday, so what you think your couple of thousand bucks are gonna do?
I don't know what I'm talking about, just some thoughts after watching the morning news today.
Peace.
Traces of Time
Got bored and played around with my camera, I'm a complete noob to digital cameras.
I gotta say Auto Focus is the shit though.
I have like...10 cartons in stock, never felt more secure than this!
I've always used Citizen watches (and Seiko), they don't fail on me; I fail on them by leaving one at Denny's years ago
This wallet is the reason why I don't ever lose my wallet...costs more than all the money I have combined...
A scarred Zippo is always a sexy Zippo!
My bomb-ass blazer I was talking about, shinny mother fucker.
Every time I miss the good times I open this book and reminisce...
Not that round anymore right? right? right!?
Till later.
Rain... 
Rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain...
di da di, di da di da di, di da di, di da di da di da di, di da di, di da di...
This is my October~~ This is my time of the year~~
This is my October~~ This is all so clear...
This is my October~~ This is my rain covered home...
This is my October~~ This is me alone....
- Linkin Park (uh...actual name is My December)
Last winter I bought a bomb-ass blazer, it kind of shines like velvet, can be worn for casual or serious occasions. The texture isn’t soft and weak like the sissy polyester one I bought years ago from A/X (no offense Ches.) Damn that's a sexy blazer.
Anyway, since the weather isn’t roasting anymore, I decided to put it on for a nice night out (by myself), but then something disturbing happened, my stomach keeps popping out, totally ruined the sleek, stylish look this blazer would've looked, and it’s pissing me off.
I’ve been hitting the gym though, I love it, it’s like my fifth addiction besides cigarettes, alcohol, coffee, and sleep. No matter how grumpy I feel in the day, a nice 1 1/2 hour work out follow with a hot shower completes my day.
Perhaps I’m not doing it right though, like...I’m gaining my muscles back, the shape is in tact, but some fat deposits are still there, it’s like I’m having two sets of boobs, the upper part is nice and firm but the lower corner sags like disgusting pieces of wrinkly parasites; my upper abs are showing up but the lower part sags too.
Freaking office jobs, I hate it, have to sit all day, developing fat deposits that lower my self-esteem.
I don’t care though, I burn about 900 cal per day for 3 days a week and I’m going to keep burning them, I don’t care what the coach says, he was so desperate to become my personal trainer for $50/hour that he threatened me: “Be careful Jacky~~ You might not know whether you’re burning your fat, sugar, or muscle! You might end up slim with no muscles and extra layers of fat hanging!”
To which I replied: “FUCK YOU, I Googled this shit and I know if I run steadily for more than 5 minutes my body will start burning fat instead of sugar, so STFU and stay away.”
Nah I kid I kid. Fat or not, I just like the feeling of exercising, I guess it’s one of the few good habit that I have.
Peace.
