My new Skirt : )

My friend said I look like I just got sun burned in this picture. I think the skirt looks good on me. It cost me almost 100 dollar.

My research topic - financial advisors

You probable figure out your investment is in trouble by watching news, and since your FP or IA is a robot who only know how to say " long term, long term", you found yourself so alone and helpless. In fact, there has been signs of down turn economy for a few months,
and there were plenty of chances to avoid huge losses and minimize risk. But on one care, sometimes even including yourself.

It is to my amazement how many people never realize this very simple matter of fact. You can not trust someone who is getting pay by someone else to take your money away from you!!

Allman Brothers “Ramblin’ Man” 1970’s

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WGVW7byRCA


{Refrain}
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Trying to make a living and doing the best I can
When it's time for leaving, I hope you'll understand
That I was born a rambling man

My father was a gambler down in Georgia
He wound up on the wrong end of a gun
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rolling down highway forty-one

{Refrain}

I'm on my way to New Orleans this morning
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee
They're always having a good time down on the Bayou, Lord
Them delta women think the world of me

{Refrain

Alice in Chains “Man in the Box” 1990’s

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks0pbT2Q0VM

I'm the man in the box
Buried in my shit
Won't you come and save me, save me


Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut


I'm the dog who gets beat
Shove my nose in shit
Won't you come and save me, save me


Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut

Alanis Morissette “You Oughta Know” 1990’s

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR6mEu5-egA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSfGmMmWXyA&feature=related

I want you to know that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on your in a theater
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

'Cause the love that you gave that we made
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're still alive

CHORUS:
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to but you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

'Cause the love that you gave that we made
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're sill alive

REPEAT CHORUS

'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

REPEAT CHORUS

Girl's not grey - AFI

I'll lay me down tonight,
Much further down.
Swim in the calm tonight.
This art does drown.

What follows me as the whitest lace of light,
will swallow whole,
just begs to be imbrued?
What follows has led me to this place where I belong with all erased.

What follows?
All insects sing tonight, the coldest sound.
I'd send Gods grace tonight,
Could it be found?

What follows,
Me as the whitest lace of light,
Will swallow whole
Just begs to be imbrued

What follows has led me to this place where I belong with all erased

I lay me down tonight,
Much further down.
Watch stars go out tonight.
On sinking ground

I'll lay me down.
I'll lay me down.

What follows me as the whitest lace of light
Will swallow whole
Just begs to be imbrued,

What follows, has led me to this place where I belong With all erased

What follows
Will swallow whole
What Follows
Will swallow whole

Let there be rock - ACDC

In the beginning
Back in nineteen fifty-five
Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show
And all that jive
The white man had the smoltz
The black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do
But Tchaikovsky had the news
He said -
"let there be light", and there was light
"Let there be sound", and there was sound
"Let there be drums", and there was drums
"Let there be guitars", and there was guitars
"Let there be rock"
And it came to pass
That rock 'n' roll was born
All across the land every rockin' band
Was blowing up a storm
And the guitarman got famous
The businessman got rich
And in every bar there was a super star
With a seven year itch
There were fifteen million fingers
Learning how to play
And you could hear the fingers picking
And this is what they had to say
"Let there be light"
"Sound"
"Drums"
"Guitar"
"Let there be rock"
One night in a club called `The Shaking Hand'
There was a ninety-two decibel rocking band
The music was good and the music was loud
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd -
"Let there be rock"

[Anti cancer A new way of life] - David Servan - Schreiber

Page19 to 20

Until we have brushed up against mortality, life seems boundless and we'd prefer to keep it that way. It seems that there will always be time to set out in search of happiness. First I have to get my degree, pay off my loans, let the children grow up, retire...I'll worry about happiness later. When we put off till tomorrow the quest for the essential, we may find life slipping through our fingers without ever having savored it.

Cancer sometimes cures this strange nearsightedness, this dance of hesitations. By exposing life
's brevity, a diagnosis of cancer can restore life's true flavor. A few weeks after my diagnosis, I had the odd feeling a veil had been lifted that until then had dimmed my sight. One Sunday afternoon, in the small, sunny room of our tiny house, I was looking at Anna. Focused and peaceful, she was sitting on the floor near the coffee table, trying her hand at translating French poems into English. For the first time, I saw her as she was, without wondering whether I should prefer someone else.


A change came over me which I believe is irreversible. Questions of prestige, of political success, of financial status, became all at once unimportant. In those first hours when I realized I had cancer, I never thought of my seat in the Senate, of my bank account, or of the destiny of the free world...My wife and I have not hand a quarrel since my illness was diagnosed. I used to scold her about squeezing the toothpaste from the top instead of the bottom, about not catering sufficiently to my fussy appetite, about making up guest lists without consulting me, about spending too much on clothes. Now I am either unaware of such matters , or they seem irrelevant...

In their stead has come a new appreciation of things I once took for granted--- eating lunch with a friend, scratching Muffet's ears and listening for his purrs, the company of my wife, reading a book or magazine in the quite cone of my bed lamp at night, raiding the refrigerator for a glass of orange juice or a slice of coffee cake. For the first time I think I actually am savoring life. I realize, finally, that I am not immortal. I shudder when I remember all the occasions that I spoiled for myself - even when I was in the best of health - by false pride, synthetic values, and fancied slights.

Beijing!

Carly Simon - you are so vain

Small talk haters take further consolation from the fact that you are in star-studded company. Fear of small talk and stage fright are the same thing. The butterflies you feel in your stomach when you are in a roomful of strangers flutter' round the tummies of top performers. Pablo Casals complained of lifelong stage fright. Carly Simon curtailed live performances because of it. A friend of mine who worked with Neil Diamond said he insisted the words to "Song Sung Blue", a tune he'd been crooning for forty years, be displayed on his teleprompter, lest fear freeze him into forgetfulness.

Complete render

I am not very satisfy yet. But It is getting there now. It didn't take me to long to complete this set.

They want me to stay in the project. Let's see what happen : )

I am indeed a very lucky person. I am so happy that I am out of the depressing working environment and get to be my own manager for my own life and work.

I wish this can continue and all these work will worth it at the end. Finally I feel like that I am actually living a life instead of like a bolt in a machine.

I am very lucky indeed.

DormRoon Pass One

Working from Home is awesome. This is what I did today. I hope UBC will like it.

My investment and financial planning study is going...I am planning everything out the moment and enjoying the sun...

I hope the market will come around soon.

Made $1,287.36 this morning with 2 stocks

This is my first trade attempt in a very tough market.

X just went up like crazy - up one point 9 dollars.

In 3 hours I made 1,287 dollars.

Not bad considering that is my 2 weeks part-time work salary : )

First big success. I have put all stop limit and made sure I only keep my loss within 1% of total investment.

This is so much fun!

My trip to Kelowna!

I didn't take below pictures.






It is such a beautiful place!! We visited 3 wineries and a cherry picking garden. Okanagon! I love it....Have to go back again.

I have a few first times in this trip: first time have a pedicure and manicure.
First time visit a winery. First time eating duck breast that is not made by T&T ( and it is the best dish I ever had in my life) First time see a real oak wine barrel, First time pick cherries, First time join a wine making tour, first time feel like in Europe in Canada.

UBC ask me to renew the contract soon. I think if I can still have all these flexible hours and benefits I will renew it to November.

I am planning my next trip. Toffino next, Bahama this winter, and after toffino hopefully I can go see the northwest of Canada and Camp there. ( I found the idea of camping in northwest still quite frightening)

I need my Canadian Passport soon.....I need to go travel!

Found a place for my parents. It is around fir and West 16th. On that beautiful Cherry Blossom Street.

It is very cheap for only 2 months compare to other places downtown. And it is a very very nice building...... 850 sft big. Just there is no T&T around there which is a drawback : )

I never can learn the game of being smart and quiet. Life is too short to just smell asses and sit on a chair feel your ass getting fat.

An empty room full of jack asses can make me very very sick indeed.

I am one lucky person whom have the luxury of escape and attitude. Human nature, seasoning of drama and endless funny episodes.

Planning my study in Italy

There is this government project between Canada and Italy. As a Canadian Citizen, I can go work in Italy for 6 months....

I will love to find out more about it and it will be great if I can go there next year to work : )

Going to Kelowna this weekend.

Luna is coming over tomorrow morning to help me pack my stuff prepare for the painting job.

Need to get back into shape soon...yoga and swimming!

New works

For UBC, the residential school project.
I am upgrading my place. Just hired a contractor and I am going shopping tomorrow with him. By 15th of July, the whole place will be complete. I am so excited!

Next will be changing the kitchen counter top.

My parents are coming over again this August. I am looking for a place for them. Investment study is going pretty well. The UBC game project is going very well too.

I visited Galiano island this canada day holiday with Carlo and Rob. We had a lot of fun! Thank you so much for going to the island with me. I am grateful to have friends like them. Carlo surprisingly a very good pickup truck driver!

Vagn has a girl friend now. I think it will be very hard to have him come over help me out with the house again. I guess I have to stop rely on him with all the fixings around the place. Maybe forget about him totally. Pretend that I have never met him before. I don't know why I am upset. It is very selfish of me indeed.

I think the best thing for both of us will be forget about each other and stop all communication. That will be the only way that won't upset his new girlfriend.

Good Luck Vagn. You will never hear from me anymore.

I am dating someone. I guess. He invited me to meet his best friends a few times But I refused, it is way too soon to meet the team. It is better get to know him better first...He is actually a romantic person. Poor guy got lots of mosqito bites playing golf. I like him, but I am not sure it will grow into love or not. He is younger than me...

I love UBC

It is so nice working for UBC. I am my own manager and set my own schedule.I really enjoy my experience there and they have free lunch hour music concert all the time. Just joined a UBC town hall conference.... what a beautiful building( life science ), and they have students play live music there during lunch and break. The catering was awesome!

I will love to reduce my hour to 3 or 4 hours a day after July and continue my training in investment...going to a IPO presentation Friday night. Joining an option trading workshop next Monday and Tuesday.

Working part time for UBC fits my schedule perfectly. Orientation tomorrow, I hope that I can meet some people whom I can have good conversations with.

Vagn is dating someone. I am actually happy for him.... But I have the feeling of my only family in Vancouver is leaving me even it was expected since 4 years ago.

I cried for hours last night. What a stupid and selfish person that I am.

Say goodbye

I feel very bad that I have to focus on the UBC position and leave this job. Jill the VP really treated me very well and I had learned a lot from her. I am so sorry.

I just discovered joggling between 2 jobs can really help me loss weight and hair plus some self-esteem.
