Hasta la vista
Here's a PSA for the two people that still read this blog.
I'm moving. I realized that if I'm not logged in, there is an ugly ad that pops up on the side of my blog.
I don't blog much, but it's the principle, damnit! I'm moving to blogspot, where even if there are ads, it should be less obstrusive, so what if I'm joining the next Evil Empire. ( Read more... ) -
Too much of everything, gets too much for me.
DSD told me recently that M has been suffering from blogger's block. I, on the other hand, have been mostly inflicted with sloth (nothing new here) and avarice. I have written notes everywhere (on my home computer, work computer and my netbook) to remind myself of things I want to blog about. This allows me to use too much blog material as an ( Read more... ) -
Me talk pretty
I had to call a client in China today, so I had to dust off my rusty Mandarin Chinese and speak conversational Chinese for the first time in a long long while[0]. I think it has been almost 13 years since I had a conversation longer than five minutes in Chinese. Usually I speak to him in English because non-Chinese speakers are also part of our ( Read more... ) -

Train wreck
I am no student of human psychology, but I am a student of my own personal psyche. I guess I cannot suppress the narcissist in me. Lately, I have been really bothered with how I reacted to some unfavorable news, and I've been trying to figure out why ( Read more... ) -
Man of Steel
I just wanted to get this post out before it became too outdated.
My movie of the year for 2008, after much deliberation[0], is Iron Man, which narrowly beat out The Dark Knight. Yes, I know I'm a comic book geek.
Why Iron Man over The Dark Knight? Honestly, I enjoyed the latter more, and in particular I was blown away by the last arc of the movie. ( Read more... ) -
Look away
When I did discipleship training with my church, time management was the first thing covered. I learned that things in life can be categorized into four major groups: important AND urgent, important but not urgent, not important but urgent, and not important nor urgent. It's really standard stuff that I'm sure anyone who's bothered with time ( Read more... ) -
I think we're alone now
I promised M I would resume blogging by the end of October. Today's November 1. She hasn't started nagging. She's too kind.
Perusing her blog, I was initially going to write an entry about my earliest childhood memories. Then I got distracted, as I'm prone to do, by her wonderful posts about music. Music. I don't remember the last time I bought a ( Read more... ) -

I'm one of those those guys who's not very sensitive about age. I am still immature enough that I tease my friends who are sensitive about their age, but personally it doesn't bother me that I'm on the "wrong" side of 30. I'm with Jay-Z here, 30 is the new 20 (look how cool I am, making a hip-hop reference that's over 2 years old!)
Birthdays really ( Read more... ) -

i wrote a grand total of zero letters, i blogged semi-regularly till the fall and i hardly worked on my chinese besides watching a few wushu drama serials and listening to Chinese Pod.
i have however been able to keep the weight off, and in fact lose some on top of that as well. of the five ( Read more... )
