It&#39;s 100% free to join and use.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you&#39;re happy at your job, and don&#39;t want to look for anything new, you want to be on NotchUp.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;There are two ways to become a NotchUp member: 1) You can apply for admittance to the network and wait for acceptance, or 2) You can be invited by a current member and start using NotchUp immediately. Because I invited you, you can join NotchUp without having to apply.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.notchup.com&quot;&gt;Click Here&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;to register for NotchUp and create your NotchUp profile.

They complained about Indian accents. They found it hard to understand and get what the Indians are talking about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it is true that the Indians do possess very strong accent. However, there is nothing to complain about. I used to complain on this before and I realized that I was wrong. It was not the problem of their accent. The problem lies on I had very poor listening. I could not understand the good English coming from a strong accent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, I really wanted to ask those two women. How about your accent? I have not heard a single English word coming out from your gentle mouth. Do you think your English is better understood than the Indian ones? I am not sure how good your English is. Hope it is great! Otherwise, you are just making yourself lose face because you cannot even speak good English, how can you comment about other&#39;s English then. If your pieces of rotten English can be understood by other native English speakers and good English speakers, it is not because you speaker better but rather the listeners can listen and understand better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, in communication, accent problem does occur. The reason should not all be pushed to the speakers. The listeners should have at least 50% of the responsibility to check on their listening. If they have heard so many different accents already, how could they just simple do not understand one? I know some accents are very strong and might take a little longer to get used to and get comfortable with. Nevertheless, it is a matter of whether you want to listen or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck, the two ladies!&lt;br /&gt;Try harder next time before you make any complaint!   &lt;br /&gt;---------------------&lt;br /&gt;~@££ tH3 !3esT~</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dyxdavid.blogspot.com/feeds/703494493103733832/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8979411/703494493103733832' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979411/posts/default/703494493103733832'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979411/posts/default/703494493103733832'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dyxdavid.blogspot.com/2008/01/gosh-please-stop-complaining.html' title='GOSH： Please stop complaining'/><author><name>DaViD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01000928483255725326</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/280/2236/320/dnd0602.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979411.post-9096808240246459121</id><published>2007-10-18T17:20:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-10-18T17:37:37.942+08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="birthday"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cards"/><title type='text'>what made my day today?</title><content type='html'>Suddenly my phone rang.&lt;br /&gt;I picked up (luckily, it was through.

You don&#39;t fit in.&lt;/b&gt; Your values don&#39;t match the company&#39;s. If your colleagues are &quot;dishonest and focused on getting ahead regardless of legal or moral barriers,&quot; Bayer says, it&#39;s time to quit before an Enron-style scandal sinks the ship.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Your boss doesn&#39;t like you and you don&#39;t like him or her.&lt;/b&gt; If your boss never asks your opinion, and never wants to chat or have lunch with you, and if you disagree with her agenda and dislike her style, your days are numbered. Adds Bayer: &quot;If you&#39;ve ever done something that undermined your boss, you might as well get out now.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Your peers don&#39;t like you.&lt;/b&gt; Feeling isolated, gossiped about, and excluded from the inner workings of the organization is a very bad sign, as is feeling that you&#39;re not part of the team and wouldn&#39;t socialize with your colleagues even if they asked you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. You don&#39;t get assignments that demonstrate the full range of your abilities.&lt;/b&gt; &quot;Watching all the good assignments go to others, while you&#39;re given the ones that play to your weaknesses or are beneath your professional level, should tell you something,&quot; says Bayer. Likewise, if it seems the boss doesn&#39;t trust your judgment, you&#39;re in trouble.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. You always get called upon to do the &quot;grunt work.&quot;&lt;/b&gt; Everybody has to take on a dull or routine task now and then, but if you are constantly being singled out to do the work no one else wants, alarm bells should ring.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. You are excluded from meetings your peers are invited to.&lt;/b&gt; Sound familiar? If it&#39;s painfully clear that your ideas aren&#39;t valued, why stick around?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. Everyone on your level has an office. You have a cubicle in the hallway.&lt;/b&gt; Bayer notes that, whatever your title, your digs can speak volumes about your real status in the organization. If your peers have offices with windows and you&#39;re asked to move into a broom closet - no matter what the official explanation - start cleaning out your desk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. You dread going to work and feel like you&#39;re developing an ulcer.&lt;/b&gt; Ah, here&#39;s yet another of your symptoms, and a particularly nasty one at that.&lt;/p&gt;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;I think i am lucky enough that I don&#39;t feel any of the eight above...=)&lt;br /&gt;of course, I don&#39;t even own a job per se... does internship consider job? =p&lt;br /&gt;---------------------&lt;br /&gt;~@££ tH3 !3esT~</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dyxdavid.blogspot.com/feeds/663993717870019491/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8979411/663993717870019491' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979411/posts/default/663993717870019491'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979411/posts/default/663993717870019491'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dyxdavid.blogspot.com/2007/10/th3-3est_17.html' title='time to change job?'/><author><name>DaViD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01000928483255725326</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/280/2236/320/dnd0602.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979411.post-7675551365507767399</id><published>2007-09-26T17:35:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2007-09-26T17:45:31.000+08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="technology"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="web 2.0"/><title type='text'>save some time from repetitive internet usage</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href= &quot;http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/marketwire/0306851.htm&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Original Article &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IBM today unveiled a free and easy-to-use online service for recording step-by-step processes that Web users do on a regular basis, then automatically runs those processes, eliminating repetitive or mundane tasks for the user.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s named CoScripter. &lt;br /&gt;http://services.alphaworks.ibm.com/coscripter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I don&#39;t have to log in to my email as frequently as I am now.

We talked about everything from airplanes to how hard it is to hire in Silicon Valley. One topic we touched on was how hard it is to keep up with the latest and greatest technologies coming out of the tech industry.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So many new, very cool products are launching these days that it is *really* hard to keep track of it all. I mentioned how I probably spend at least an hour or so each day just combing through various blogs, trying to keep on top of everything. So which blogs are my daily reads?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here&amp;#39;s a list of what appears in my RSS reader each day: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.appleinsider.com/&quot;&gt;AppleInsider&lt;/a&gt; - that Steve Jobs just keeps on innovating &lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.autoblog.com/&quot;&gt;Autoblog&lt;/a&gt; - planes, cars, they all go fast and I can&amp;#39;t stop reading about them&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.centernetworks.com/&quot;&gt;CenterNetworks&lt;/a&gt; - all tech news all the time &lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.consumerist.com/&quot;&gt;Consumerist&lt;/a&gt; - ok, sometimes it&amp;#39;s really interesting to see what scam these guys have uncovered&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.cultureby.com/&quot;&gt;CultureBy &lt;/a&gt; - very interesting insights on the intersection of human behavior and economics&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://earlystagevc.typepad.com/&quot;&gt;EarlyStageVC&lt;/a&gt; - Peter has great insights on how to build startups&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.gigaom.com/&quot;&gt; GigaOM&lt;/a&gt; - Om and Mark were the first two folks to blog on meebo...ever! Om&amp;#39;s blog has really good, deep industry insight&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.mashable.com/&quot;&gt;Mashable!&lt;/a&gt; - Everything, and I mean absolutely everything that&amp;#39;s going on in the consumer internet space &lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.paidcontent.org/&quot;&gt;paidContent.org&lt;/a&gt; - content is king...learn about it here&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.readwriteweb.com/&quot;&gt;Read/WriteWeb&lt;/a&gt; - general tech news and analysis &lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.socketsite.com/&quot;&gt;SocketSite&lt;/a&gt; - real estate in SF - it&amp;#39;s so expensive, why even bother?&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.techcrunch.com/&quot;&gt;Techcrunch&lt;/a&gt; - very complete coverage of the latest product launches and announcements in the consumer internet space &lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.tuaw.com/&quot;&gt;tuaw&lt;/a&gt; - the latest and greatest about those Apple folk&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.valleywag.com/&quot;&gt;Valleywag&lt;/a&gt; - always fun to read a bit of juicy gossip&lt;br&gt; &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.venturebeat.com/&quot;&gt;VentureBeat&lt;/a&gt; - consumer internet happenings with a slant toward venture capitalists&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.ventureblog.com/&quot;&gt;VentureBlog&lt;/a&gt; - David - a VC - can&amp;#39;t keep him from his blog &lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.webware.com/&quot;&gt;WebWare&lt;/a&gt; - when we launched meebo Elaine said &amp;quot;this is webware!&amp;quot; Apparently the WebWare folks agree&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Finally, a big shout out to &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.resourceshelf.com/&quot;&gt; ResourceShelf&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://blog.plaxoed.com/&quot;&gt;Mark Jen&lt;/a&gt;. ResourceShelf has covered meebo numerous times and Mark was one of the first two folks to blog on meebo.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So which blogs do you all read?  &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://blog.meebo.com/?p=357#comments&quot;&gt;Leave a comment&lt;/a&gt; and let us know!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Seth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;--

type='html'>åI think the first time I heard this term was last year while I just arrived at Silicon Valley. In fact, the hype was started way before that. I think by now the topic has been discussed about 18 months. It was 8 months after it was started that I got involved and participated in the discussion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back then, the concept of Web 2.0 is very blur. I could not picture and understand what’s Web 2.0. I thought I had not even experienced what Web 1.0 was about.  How funny was my thought! As more and more start-up started working on it, the blurr concept became clearer and clearer. It seems to me that it is not longer a concept but indeed some technologies - the Web 2.0 technologies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To me, Web 2.0 focuses on user engagement and experiences on the web. it is exemplifed by the visual effect of the website done by the web 2.0 companies. that’s just the appearance. There are many layers of technologies that transformed the framework, applications and features. One very good example is the emerging programing languages, like Ruby on Rails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my opinion, Web 2.0 technologies have gone into the stage where vast adoption will take place. Just like 7 years ago, every company and each individual wanted a website. (Maybe that’s Web 1.o). Now companies started looking at the technology innovations to help them solve their problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which company will catch the wave and lead the innovation? it is very hard to tell and difficult to say. many are doing it but few are doing the right things for the companies or individual users. there are cool things everyday…. however, which cool thing will keep you cool all the time is still a question mark!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the best to the battle… it seems a long way… and it can be short if the one appeared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------&lt;br

type='html'>1. practical experiences working in China&lt;br /&gt;- David needs some work experience in China: internship? part-time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Behave like a REAL Chinese&lt;br /&gt;- David has been keeping it up! keep the good job up! Friends, esp Chinese, please point out to David if he does&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;something stupid, k?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Overseas experiences are good BUT those are only assets belong to you which are not previlliges.&lt;br /&gt;- David should take overseas experiences as enriching, fun, learning and happy as possible. World is never that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;small!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Groom management team from stretch (starting company in China) [professional managers are not good to be put&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;above people suddenly]&lt;br /&gt;- David should obtain some skills in terms of management but not to be a professinonal manager. i don think that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;could be a career. sounds like VC… I’d rather join VC area to help companies… that’s more professional than&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;professional manager…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. everyone knows about how much colleauges are earning in China&lt;br /&gt;- so don’t try to hide it. where there is a will, there is a way. that happens all the time in China. Only the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;government has done something to cover certain history up… still we could find it out. paper can never cover up&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Work with government officials to get to know the rules, so you might be able get around them.&lt;br /&gt;- really practical… believe it or not, it’s all about connections and relationships… wherever you go and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;whatever you do! it is a matter of how people look at it and how much is it? hmmmmm…. think about it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.Understand the local cultures even within China.&lt;br /&gt;- this is really a good point to talk about. In a big country, the cultures are different. certainly, there are&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;similarities. however, the focus shall be put on Differences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.Build the organizational trust&lt;br /&gt;- it takes a whole lot to build trust in human relationship. if you look at people as individual cells, dont you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;think that the organ that the cells made up shall not build its “organic” trust? it’s a bottom-up perspective…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;very useful&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Have local management leader is really important.&lt;br /&gt;- do not treat it like a branch but an ‘entity’ that operates independently and colaborate with headquarters and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;other offices… example? google and youtube…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Plan to go back to China? Or NOT?&lt;br /&gt;- David has not changed his mind not going back to China yet. I don’t think he will. However, he will face a lot of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;challenges. He will face it and deal with them well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;exmaple for you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there was this company set up their office in China. A team has been recruited and built up, primarily engineers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and support people. Local management team has yet to be built. After some time, a manager was hired with 1M salary. OVernight, the engineers under the managers stopped working.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;why? the engineers are the ones working and now someone is hired with so much higher salary to oversee them. they are not happy about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what is AAMA?&lt;br /&gt;Check it out at http://www.aamasv.com/home_flash.php&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------&lt;br /&gt;~@££ tH3 !3esT~</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dyxdavid.blogspot.com/feeds/8422248466812185165/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8979411/8422248466812185165' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979411/posts/default/8422248466812185165'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979411/posts/default/8422248466812185165'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dyxdavid.blogspot.com/2007/04/take-aways-at-aama-about-china.html' title='Take-aways at AAMA about China'/><author><name>DaViD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01000928483255725326</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/280/2236/320/dnd0602.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979411.post-1737699286453467042</id><published>2007-03-30T02:53:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-03-30T02:54:21.635+08:00</updated><title type='text'>just hope for the best!</title><content type='html'>just hope for the best!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I pray for my friend!&lt;br /&gt;Hope for the best!&lt;br /&gt;Nothing stops a strong will.&lt;br /&gt;you will be alright!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will work again!&lt;br /&gt;Life will be great again!&lt;br /&gt;things seem to get out of the way,&lt;br /&gt;still they are under control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;do not hesitate to let me know,&lt;br /&gt;do not worry about inconvenience at all,&lt;br /&gt;whatever is being taken care;&lt;br /&gt;best is the best we are hoping for. &lt;br /&gt;---------------------&lt;br /&gt;~@££ tH3 !3esT~</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dyxdavid.blogspot.com/feeds/1737699286453467042/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8979411/1737699286453467042' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979411/posts/default/1737699286453467042'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979411/posts/default/1737699286453467042'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dyxdavid.blogspot.com/2007/03/just-hope-for-best.html' title='just hope for the best!'/><author><name>DaViD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01000928483255725326</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/280/2236/320/dnd0602.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979411.post-444439616880441584</id><published>2007-03-28T02:59:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-03-30T03:00:52.584+08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="sharing"/><title type='text'>China is so popular!</title><content type='html'>China is so popular!&lt;br /&gt;Share&lt;br /&gt;10:52am Wednesday, Mar 28 | Edit Note | Delete&lt;br /&gt;gosh!&lt;br /&gt;amazingly&lt;br /&gt;everyone talks about China...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel so good about it!&lt;br /&gt;also fearful!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hopefully there is not a stupid emperor wants to conquer the world again!&lt;br /&gt;we need peace and business grow healthier in peaceful time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i don&#39;t really like business around war... destroying peace!&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;ll share some take-aways from AAMA&#39;s event!&lt;br /&gt;it&#39;s been good!&lt;br /&gt;you know what you should do?&lt;br /&gt;1. go to their website : http://www.aamasv.com/home&lt;br /&gt;_flash.php&lt;br /&gt;2. join their mailing list!&lt;br /&gt;3. participate the next event&lt;br /&gt;4. talk to me! hee hee... or any volunteer&lt;br /&gt;5. introduce you to the superwoman - angel&lt;br /&gt;6. become a member&lt;br /&gt;7. accelerate your network&lt;br /&gt;8. work with some people met there&lt;br /&gt;9. work and work hard&lt;br /&gt;10. successful&lt;br /&gt;11. maybe you will be back as a speaker =p&lt;br /&gt;12.

Zodiac&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like the first one the best…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2nd one is a horror movie… it was pretty good about doll story… the ending was really surprising that Jamie died… coz he screamed finally…i thought he could stand till last… apparently, something really shocking happened… it was forgivable…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3rd one is a true case and yet a mystery… it’s good to see the movie that was shot in the area nearby… however, due to the nature of the story, it is also kinda scary that it is just right around us. so… be careful when do things…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;taking a step back would not lose your ego, pride or even respect. take a look at it a different way… esp looking at it positively… they people doing those bad things are just so pathetic… they cannot realize the love, the joy of being on the bright side. there is no fear in daily life of what’s goanna happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;300 has a great story to tell… and if like all those kind a ancient scenes… fights for pride and their nation… great nationalists… great warriors and great father, husband and son&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;300 did not give pursian a good name out of it… i kinda doubt whether the ancient pursian did look like that or behaved like that before. i am on the bright side… though they are strong; they dont have to be the lord for everyone nearyby. what’s the point?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;forming partnership and alliance is more important than killing each other. make the strong stronger…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;back then, strategic thinking were always applicable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;alright…it’s time to take a nap… see you tml&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------&lt;br /&gt;~@££ tH3 !3esT~</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dyxdavid.blogspot.com/feeds/2541896874699811377/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8979411/2541896874699811377' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979411/posts/default/2541896874699811377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979411/posts/default/2541896874699811377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dyxdavid.blogspot.com/2007/03/movie-marathon.html' title='Movie Marathon'/><author><name>DaViD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01000928483255725326</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/280/2236/320/dnd0602.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979411.post-3872745219186540211</id><published>2007-03-20T05:45:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-03-20T05:46:27.309+08:00</updated><title type='text'>you&#39;ve gotta check this out</title><content type='html'>gosh...&lt;br /&gt;that&#39;s funny!&lt;br /&gt;http://www.crush007.com/v2/predict/1155103818egw&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------&lt;br /&gt;~@££ tH3 !3esT~</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dyxdavid.blogspot.com/feeds/3872745219186540211/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8979411/3872745219186540211' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979411/posts/default/3872745219186540211'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8979411/posts/default/3872745219186540211'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dyxdavid.blogspot.com/2007/03/youve-gotta-check-this-out.html' title='you&#39;ve gotta check this out'/><author><name>DaViD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01000928483255725326</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/280/2236/320/dnd0602.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8979411.post-1004974090824075327</id><published>2007-03-11T02:32:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-03-11T02:40:31.429+08:00</updated><title type='text'>seems like it</title><content type='html'>hmm...hope i did not do anything bad to her...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She&#39;s really a strong women... &lt;br /&gt;just migrated from china to US...&lt;br /&gt;works in a restaurant with very little pay...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i respect her... as she really has a good and positive attitude towards life...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that&#39;s why... she did not stay in more comfortable chinese place... where she can live comfortably speaking chinese... she chose to challenge her... &lt;br /&gt;working in a better enviroment... where customers speak english... it&#39;s a force to drive her to learn and learn and learn...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;went to the restaurant she worked at.
