the thing about new years eve count down.

Okay I just wanna make it clear first: I did not type this because I’m hateful or jealous of others cause I can’t go to any count down. I just don’t go to count downs, I don’t even turn on my tv watching it. I think it’s quite meaningless and a waste of money and energy.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

First of all, about the point of people thinking that its a new year coming, and things will restart. All the crap will go away and stuff. Thats bull shit. There is no difference between Dec31 2009 and Jan1 2010, it’s simple just another day in your life. If you are a god d*** son of a b****, there is no way that the new year itself will make you less of a a** hole, or you can call it “a better person”. If you suck in life, there is nothing that the new year will bring to fix it. Life is just all simply coincidence, or you can call it “fate” for the religious people? Unless you really want to change deep in your heart and you do something about it, your life will be the same and never change no matter how much “new years” you been through. You don’t need any special occasion as an excuse to decide to change your bad habits. You could start in any second, even now.

And somehow people tend to "act" or say they are grateful of that they overcame this past year during this period. Oh really? Seriously, if you wanna be grateful you should thank God every night when you go to sleep that he didn’t take your pitiful life and send you to hell, nor did he f***ing blow up the earth so you can see tomorrow’s sunrise. Or should I say every second? Thats kinnda extreme, but you get my point.

This is what I think people should do, don’t go to those crazy “count downs” in the big cities. Squeezing with people against people, all those fireworks and fancy parties are just a waste of money. You do know that while you’re partying, there are still millions of people around the world suffering/starving/dying. Treat this day more like another ordinary day in life but with a thought of acknowledging it’s a new year, make the celebration more low profile. Spend your time with your love. Donate some money/provide help to the people who needs it. Try make this world a better place, spread the love, but not by endless partying.

Yes, it’s Dec31, 2009 today. To me, tomorrow is just going to be another day in my life. Oh, plus I got 8 hours of sweet double paid work.

Packing up birthday cakes

Week one back in cali: work sleep work sleep.

So far I logged in 23.8 hours of work for this week.
That translate into 202.3 dollars of income before tax withholding and Social Security.

Tomorrow is the first day of the new week, Sunday, and I gotta work from 3:30 to 8:30.
This up coming week I'm scheduled to work 34 hours. Four 5-hour days and two 7-hour days.
I get Monday off,(I need to pick up my camera resume the picture snapping business).


I'm still not sure will I get to take a week off to go to Salt Lake City.(Very unlikely, I'm sorry Collette, Matt)
But I heard I get paid double on Christmas. (Dang, we still gotta work?!)


To be honest, I'm really enjoying this winter weather here in Cali.
I know that everyone hates the cold here on the mainland, but I loved the fact I can dress up and feel warm and not sweat. Walking outside, the chill breeze on my face, the refreshing cold air. You never get that in Hawaii.(How ironic!)


Somehow I'm having a crazy sleep schedule now: Head to bed at 4:30am. Wake up at 12:00pm
Mostly it's cause by my evening work schedule. And I just hang on to the computer for too long.


I paid $439 bucks for a speeding ticket in Spetember that I had to go to court in Firebaugh, two hours south from home.
The judge was nice, he lowered the charges from Speeding 100+mph to speeding 70+mph. Still I had to pay $350 for that ticket, $25 for correcting the missed insurance card when I got pulled over, and $64 for the Traffic School Administration fee.
California traffic tickets is totally rape comparing with other states traffic law. Ugh. Blame it on the liberals. HA


Btw I'm debating should I fix my hair a bit after all this craziness?
Especially the bangs, which are getting a bit annoying, you think?

So this is it

A Hawaii grande finale.


With all the people that I love,

All the people that loved me here.



One of the greatest times in my life.
