Being an Asian immigrant to the United States, I've always been very supportive of Asian singers trying to bring in the American Market. Unfortunately, it's been difficult to say the least to make a dent. This year, two singers; Utada Hikaru and BoA both released albums into the American Market with so-so results. Utada 's album was noticeably ( Read more... )

 I've been a little annoyed at being a Per Diem Physician lately. So initially, I thought for sure I wanted to be a per diem physician which in essence is a physician that is paid by the hour, with no long term contracts an also unfortunately no benefits. The biggest upside to being a per diem physician is that you should be able to choose your own ( Read more... )

 I quite like Angela Aki's new album. She seemingly suffered a sophomore slump, but her 3rd effort at a Japanese album seems to have paid off. Although only merely topping the Japan Oricon Album Charts for only 1 week, the album itself is pretty solid. She's definitely a little bit more free with her piano playing and some of her songs have more ( Read more... )

 So the American Economy has been in a dump Since October. A lot of people have lost their jobs. For those of us whom are a little younger, truthfully, we don't feel much of a blow. First of all, I don't have a fixed job to begin with, so I'm not that much better off than people whom are unemployed. Secondly, I'm used to being broke, so no biggie ( Read more... )

 Recently, I've been trying to budge as much as I can. I know that in terms of money spending, I spend the most on clothes. I tend to like expensive brands. Unfortunate, but true. With the economic down turn, I've decided to be just as prudent as every American out there and I've given myself a budget of $1000. Most of the money I spend should be ( Read more... )

 I left my stethoscope at home today and I felt extremely handicapped. It's like chopping off my right arm and telling me to write. It was painful, but I survived. I actually usually have a back up plan for not having my stethoscope that failed this time round. 

 Honestly, I love music and I listen to it pretty much day and night, but this year music has been kind of underwhelming. I tend to like certain artists and stick with them. Usually I either label an album good or mediocre. I tend to then completely ignore albums that appear to be mediocre. What that sums up, is that I've basically only listened to ( Read more... )

I'm currently visiting Yona in San Jose. She recently gave birth to a baby boy named Ethan a couple of days ago. (I wanted to go with Anderson, because I thought Ethan was too common, but after some thought, I felt like it had a good ring to it). It's actually the first time I've visited her home. Usually she comes down to Los Angeles. The place is ( Read more... )

It's Christmas. Ritchie, being the ambitious P.H.D student that he is, is working in Lab. I'm in his lab basically doing what I call "Personal Web Cleanup" which is when I go online and I basically organize my online web accounts including my gmail, my google account, facebook, yelp and whatnot. I always strangely have fun doing it and I feel quite ( Read more... )
