Have you, ever heard, of something called Murphy's law before? It goes like this "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong" lol. Its sucks but it's true. Most outcomes are opposite of what I imaging, or longing, waiting for. It's cheesy time!
So I like this girl, 5 years younger than me, but single, mom lol. She's very cute in my opinion; don't know why her last relationship didn't work. Maybe there is some hidden obstacles but I don't see. But either way, her energy is lovely, sweet, fun, smiley cute :)
I texted her, asked her out, and waiting for the rely. Seven o'clock in the morning, my phone went "ding ding ding" I was excited. Excited because if it's a yes, then wohooo... but if it's a no, then I can move on. But unfortunately, it was neither yes or no. It's wasn't her text. Ten o'clock, more "ding ding ding" ...wasn't her either. Lunch time, "ding ding ding" ....not her either. Up until now, I realized Murphy's law is true. When I expect a yes, I got a no; when I expect no, hoping for yes, but still no; when I expecting yes or no so I can get over with, then it's just ....silence ....nada
.:sigh:.

Tho* muon tien
As you may already know, sometimes it's hard to do what you
love, and love what you do. For such a long time, I have been struggling,
looking for a perfect career path. Soon
after graduating from high school, I attended college with no purpose in mind.
I had no idea what I wanted to do for a living.
The phrase “make a living” vibrated in my head as I looked through the
college careers catalog. I found
“pharmacy” as comfortable career choice for its stability, security, and fit my
ability…which is, a POOR English communicator. Naturally, I’m good at verbal
communication, but due to the English barrier, I tended to close up and avoid
chic chat. Anyway, making a long story short, pharmacy is ok; but it’s
stressful, boring, and very limited with no potential to grow. Plus, it will
take many more years to finish.
Recently, after several years of interacting with customers,
I have come to realized that, instead of avoiding the problem, it is better to
face the problem and search for a solution. I have been studying and researching
for quite a while, and I have come to the decision of getting into business;
real estate business. I have already finished the classes, and taking
California Real Estate exam in 1-2 months. It’s not an easy business; as the
economy clamping down the depression spiral, many people are leaving the
business.

Stepmother
Today I got together with 2 new classmates and finished our online finals. We cheated lol. Well, but it's not about cheating, but about step family. I witnessed how step moms and dads behaved, and the victims are no one other than innocent children ...(to be continued)

Zero(0) Reactive
WOOHOOO I did it!
I have finally cured my heartache that I started 5 years ago :D
"How do you know?" you may ask. Well, I'm not reacting to her appearance anymore. My crush-meter read zero (0), nothing, not feeling heart beating fast, not nervous, not reacting at all when I found her profile today.
Ok, so there are 2 ways to move on from a bad relationship/crush/heartbreak or whatever. The first way is to find a replacement; either a temporary relationship or a baxter lol. While the feeling is still there, the new feeling and excitement will take over and overwrite the old feeling. The good thing about this is, it helps us to move on quickly. The bad thing is, it only suppress the old feeling. Sometimes old feeling comes back and bite us. The second way is to stay away from relationship forever until the old images are completely washed away. Yike, that can take years or even a lifetime depending on how stubborn the mind is. and I did it

Career update
just realize I have not blogging for several months. Time flies... anyway
UPDATE UPDATE
I'm getting into real estate business. I have been busy with current job and studying for my up coming real estate exam. The exam is not my concern, but I am worrying more about the customers aspect; where the hell do I go to find customer??? But anyway, as a "Negotiator" I tend to worry too much about the future. Oh just in case you don't know, Negotiator is one of the main personality types. I highly recommend the book called Why Hime Why Her by Helen Fisher, discussing our personality traits and who is the ideal match ;)

maggots
I haven't been eating home for quite a while. Today, after several days unattended, I opened my rice cooker and saw a horrible scene... maggots!! OMG, I don't know how could that happen. I guess because of the summer, heat, flies, and turned-over food I left in the cooker, turn into maggots :(
What a horrible sight! But from that, it led me to different thoughts; about life, and death. Not to be discourage, but when people die, there will be maggots ...and everyone die. No matter how rich, how poor, how good looking, how ugly, how tall, how fat, how popular or famous, everyone dies and that's the fact of life. No I'm not crazy telling you about nonsense stuffs; I'm trying to get into an experience I have encounter recently...
Last weekend, I went to a party -a biggest private party I've ever been to. The house was located on the shore of a bay, just a few steps and there was water. They also have a boat, equipped with appliances and everything. I took a harbor tour on the boats, along with 30s other people and the owner. Life is amazing! Everyone on earth is almost the same; we breath the same air (O2) eat cooked foods; we all have 24hrs a day, 365 days a year; yet how come somes are more successful than others. I guess success is hard to measure, but lets name two people: TA & TD.
- TA was a post office clerks for over 20 years; TD was an engineer but laid off, switch to real estate broker
- TA is a spiritual man going to church every Sunday; TD is a businessman openhouse every Sunday
- TA was married with 1 kid, and divorced wife left for a younger man; TD stilled married and 2 kids
- TA doesn't have a home, keep moving now and then; TD have a house by the beach hosting party twice a year
- TA doesn't have many friends and accepting mistreated sometimes; TD have many friends and connections
- TA never been on vacation outside the state, TD has been to many places, including outside US
- TA doesn't drink; TD had several DUIs
...
the list keep growing and growing. But at the end, I guess everyone will end up at the same place. Now, the question we should ask... why should we strike too high if we are gonna end up at the same place? ...or, no matter what, we all gonna end up at the same place so why not making the most meaning out of it and strike until our last breath?
