America's Coolest Small Towns:

An article worth reading if you’re looking to travel to a place that is different from the usual suburban areas. I would definitely want to go to Cayucos, Calif. and Saugerties, N.Y.

Just another american culture. You’re supposed to show off your beautiful ballcap, but the sticker on it gets more attention instead! Manufacturers should put the words “CAUTION: REMOVE THIS BEFORE USE” in red; similar to those stickers found in electronics.

I Popped the Cherry!

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 23:23:00 -0400

Co-worker 1: We're going to a place where we can eat, there's live music, and hookah.
Me: Really? Hookah? Hmm... I have not tried it before.
Co-worker 2: It's smoking tobacco and it's a nice feeling while you're enjoying food and drinks at the same time.
Co-worker 1: It's awesome and you gotta try.
Me: Hmm.. that would mean I am losing my virginity. LOL
Co-worker 1 & 2: Yes that's right, pop the cherry.
Me: Yeah, indeed. An important moment of my life to try it!

After Thoughts: It was really good to experience hookah for the first time. Especially for someone like me who hasn't smoke in my life. Now that my body is no longer free of smoking contaminants, I have popped the cherry! The added bonus tonight is that we all get to see belly dancing at the restaurant as well.

Bedtime: I'm back home feeling great from my first hookah experience. Today is also the day I unwrapped my new MacBook Pro. Love it so much beyond words. I'm putting away my 5-year old PowerBook G4 finally!

Does anyone have anything in common with the number?

Two Movies

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 00:30:00 -0400

The other day I watched a movie called Scoop. It was a movie I enjoyed throughout the night without feeling sleepy. If you like humor, I am sure you will be entertained by Woody Allen. Scoop is a lighthearted movie with a murder mystery plot. The combination of humor and mystery makes it a unique movie to go after. Woody Allen has a serious number of quotes that you’ll want to remember after watching the movie. Here’s one from Sid Waterman that I like.

The second movie I saw was Unfaithful. The movie reveals how a 11 year-old marriage is subjected to the test of infidelity. The extramarital affair scenes took place at an apartment in Soho, New York City. I love Soho because the cobblestone roads create a special looking identity for the neighborhood. I felt devastated when the wife Connie Sumner committed adultery by falling in love with a 28 year-old heartthrob she met on a windy day. It is indeed tragic to see that happen to a beautiful marriage. The sex scenes were hot; a few occurred in public settings such as a restroom and a theater. Diane Lane (Connie Sumner) was not only sexy and also played very well during the intimate encounters. I recalled the moment where she laid down feeling very tensed and guilty - the sense of denial and yet a strong desire to engage in sexual activity with someone she secretly fell in love. I remembered a movie quote from Connie’s son, Charlie. He likes to say “You’re driving me bonkers.”. I thought that was cute.

“The typical person uses a toaster at most 15 minutes per day. The remaining 1425 minutes of the day the toaster is on display. In other words, 1 percent of the toaster’s time is devoted to utility, while 99 percent is devoted to significance.”

Are you eating or seriously reading an article?

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:01:00 -0400

I got onto a subway and began reading after I found myself a seat. Two stops went by and a woman came in and sat adjacent to me. I continued to read. Then there was some smell sniffing in my nose. It wasn’t some pee smell from some homeless person who entered into the train. It was actually the woman who started eating french fries from MacDonald’s. On her lap she had a stack of papers that appeared to be some school literature text, stapled.

She just couldn’t stop munching the fries from the paper bag and dipping each fry into the tiny ketchup packet. Her hand tactfully holding the packet so that it doesn’t spill or drop onto the “interesting” article that she was supposed to read. Her other hand went into and out of the paper bag every few seconds. It was surprising to see how she had two hands busy and eyes focused on the food, and still be able to read. Obviously she wasn’t reading at all - not even a paragraph!

The distracting noise she was making while eating, and her poor mannerism was annoying indeed. She was licking her fingers and dipping fries into every corner of the ketchup packet she could find! I don’t like the idea of eating food in a subway. The subway is dirty enough so please respect others by not making it even more unpleasant.

See that white building right there? It didn’t used to be white; it was just cement on the outside. I watched it grow. The building didn’t catch my attention until it was almost 80 percent covered in white!

By the way, this picture is taken from my work desk. This is the view you will see if you sit at my desk everyday.
