then I know I am hitting the low of my past 4 yrs. Not having a job made my living evolves around hunting for one. from noon to 9pm , everyday for the past 3 weeks. I am so concentrated often times I forget abt eating, not just dinner.

Relationship is nohting more than a white elephane and as much as I want to make it interesting, it is not, yet frustrating. When one lost the ability to “provide”, one knows it’s abt time to… watch some “HIMYM” so life can be happy again. I know .. pathetic? Not yet and never will. : )

still looking

I just applied for my 219th job in the last 4 weeks and 3 days. I have a great resume, great experience, a college degree… but so does everyone else. I look everywhere! I have about 30-40 bookmarks.. all job sources and I literally job hunt from 9am til about 6pm (minus the occasional break and lunch).

well , that’s not me… yet. That’s a online friend in NYC. I am on my 16th day, 59th resume… with hope.

The problem is not so much that there are not any jobs…. it’s that too many people are job hunting right now.

Following on the dog poops post, here is a ad about the dog...

Following on the dog poops post, here is a ad about the dog poops in Toulouse made by Mairie de Toulouse in order to increase public awearness of the situation.

French Culture - Dog Poops

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 18:02:00 -0500

Living in France is full of culture shocks. Let me first start with the one thing I see everyday here: dog poops

Toulouse is a beautiful place that is vibrant, cultured, full of energy and… full of dog poops. Everyday when I step out of the house, I had to pay extra attention everywhere I go. I never thought that French were not expected to clean up after their dogs.

Dog poops usually are everywhere if not more. The first few weeks here I had to watch out where to land my feet and now I’ve got my six sense for poops. While I am not stepping on any (so far… knock on wood), I laugh at those who do. You do often see a lot of the poops have been stepped on. What’s funner is that some dogs step on other dog poops as well. Poops often are not solid, yet big… big pile more like dog puke to me.

What’s even more bizzard? there are 4 tons of dog duddles on the streets of France everyday, but I really don’t see lots of dogs around. Not close to what I’ve seen in NYC.

I can’t fight it so I accept it, as much as I hate it so very much, I am now thinking of it as French culture. It is true and I love France.

World Trip 1

Passed Hong Kong, skipped the Bangkok riot, am now hanging out with two of the best friends of mine here at Jakarta, together with my bier.
When god (if there is any) threw me a curve ball at my face, I might just take it lightly, laugh then drink n get drunk at it ya? Seeing friends and hanging out may be just the thing to do. When the mood is right, Time reverses. We drink, talk laugh and hug. All in all, we r still happy, in the same way, while worry only few things.

Traveling Asian made me realize that if there is one thing you gotta have then it is DIERRHEA! I had dierrhea in Singapore for 2 days, and twice in Indonesia.

Jakarta Young: the young culture freshly delivered. People now greet each other with kisses on both cheeks, like the French do. oohmmm.. those kisses, when they gonna greet people with real French kisses?

The hottest club, check; the localiest restaurant, check, expats, drinks, set, go! I am happily stranded in HK since the 28th. Been through the harbour, tried the stinky toufu, wondered through the red zone, the chong qing mall, contral, causeway bay then finally reached the Victoria Peak. Everything to be seen, nothing else to feel. Pefect!

Hoping for the riot to be over in Bangkok and waiting to get into Thailand just isn’t real anymore. After 12 calls and extra few hundred bucks, I have shifted my dates around, now am aheading to Singapore, as my second stop of the trip. Hong Kong has became my 1st, the very best 1st.

Drinking a bottle of Wine, watching Match Point. ahh, just the night I needed.This reminds me the days that I lived in Paris, if I’ve had.

People are so nice here, smiling faces, small talks, older or younger, grocery store or coffee shop. I have seen rainning days once since I arrived in Cali. Does weather really have effects on people?

Unbridled Living... hopefully

Moving out of NYC wasn’t what I had in mind at first, but when I started to think about my past 3 years, though living in the city was fun and exhilirating, I wasn’t any happier than before. My best few yrs was, ironically, in Ohio. As I always say “it’s not about the place, it’s always about the poeple”.

I had some great friends and awesome roommates while I was there, but the five boroughs kept everyone apart physically, and our busy life kept us apart emotionally. I love my friends, I just hope we could be closer.

I love the feeling of being at a new place and jumping start my experience again and again. I like it because it intemidates me and pushes me going forward, ready or not.

Now Here I am, sunshine through my window every morning, this is OC, California. Relaxed, chilled and charged, for, a very long traveling vacation.

My "got laid off so go travel" plan.

My "got laid off so go travel" plan.

Is it?

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:56:00 -0400

Is the transportation system really that convenient in NYC? Here is an example. I saw my girl friend off at the JFK around 10am on a regular weekday:

41 mins - the airTrain ride, from the terminal to subway station
68 mins - subway ride, taking A train from Howard Beach back to 14th St in the city
55 mins - bus ride, from 14th St and 8th Ave to 7th St and Ave B.

Total trip duration: 159 mins , that’s about 2 hours and 44 mins. sigh.
