House Hunting....

Spent all day yesterday house hunting. what was planned as only a quick morning tour of the Riverbend in Orange turned into an all day event. I think I must have toured all the new communities in Tustin/Orange/Anaheim Hills/Irvie area. It was especialy tiring after climbing all those damn stairs. But the constant replenishment of food from Pho'99 to jumba juice to Korean BBQ made the day alot more bearing...

After looking at all the communities. I like the Riverbend in Orange the most. The banker had warned me that the neighborhood is not as nice as Irvine, which I agrees, but the school district is actually the Villa Park highschool, which is a pretty good district (no, I am not planning ahead already, I am merely making the point to emphasis the value prop of the neighborhood). Also, there are lots of renovations in the neighborhood....so who knows, maybe The City of Orange will be the place where Sonic buys his first "Real" home. play it by ears. if it happens, it'll happen in the next year.

What do Woman want!?!

Relating to the previous topic.

I've been fortunate (or unfortunate depending on people’s perspective) to have know many amazing girls in my life. Thinking back about these girls, I realized that: a) The ones I choose to play a part in my life all have that unique “kaiga” (loosely translated to “style” or “attitude”) making them super attractive, not just to me I am sure, but to all the guys out there too. And b) No matter if it is the girl I once dated, gone out with, had crush on, befriended with, walked away from, etc. etc. I realized that one thing all of them have in common is that they are both extremely strong yet fragile too. So here is a toast to all of you girls out there. May you continue to blossom and find what your seek in life. May you also find that one who can help you grow, make you laugh, and protect you at the same time since I know you know already that it is something I can yet to offer. but believe me, I am learning and trying. Wait and see yeah!
Cheers :P

Maturing?

I feel, over the past few weeks. I am on a accelerated course of growing up. I feel I am beginning to let go of my grasps of my carefree and irresponsible days. Those days, good times and bad are slowly coming to an end. Just part of life I guess.

Hot Chicks....

Now the self-critical portion of the blog is done....





Man, there are lots of attractive single Asian female in my new job. But man, I am so not attracted to any of them.





The fobby pretty superstars, The snubby ABC princesses, just ain't my type....





Time to find my self a:

She can have my umbrella anyday!

The meaning of it all....

With my new job, I communite about 32 miles each way now. Fortunately, it is against the traffic so it is taking me only about 40 min. for the round trip. Not too bad.

Every other morning, I would exit Diamond Bar Blvd. and stop by the Fairway Starbucks for coffee (Coffee of the day only, since it is more economical).

On my way down the hill, I would always see a young hispanic lady walking from the top of the hill down the the bus stop. She looks like she's in college or something.

Also on my way down the Fairway hill, near Colima, I would also see a old HomelessAsian man in his 70s pulling his cart and camp near the bus stop.

And often, I see them talk and laugh sometimes before the Bus arrives and take the young lady away....

Knowing this, I realized how fortunate my life has been. And how, in a sense, meaningless drive for material goods has been.

I think I am beginning to see the greater picture now :)

Who's In?

now, especially after the bi-weekly wine happy hour with some cool people at my
favorite foo foo wine bar :P)
3) Waking up early with sunlight hitting my face
4) The feeling that I am still (or the trying of) in shape
5) WoW (Almost level 70 baby)

7) My dogs, especially my needy Chihuahua who has just lost a bunch of teeth

9) Blackberry
