Raining and Starving....

It's finally raining....which makes me quite happy.

but today, I forgot my wallet! I think I may have left it with my friend after our weekly happy hour last night. If that is the case, I will have no money today to do anything....scary thought.

The company is sponsoring a company lunch. gotta go grab lots of food now for lunch and dinner...

Japan Here I come...

Day 3

Spent the day visiting the country side. Then back to Taipei in the afternoon for some shopping.

the word of the day is....Breast. Yes sir, Breast.

Seems like people in Taiwan are OBSESSED with Breasts, and they are not afraid to show them off (some pics to come shortly).

But breasts..... yup.

Day 2

Went to Eslite Book store this morning next to the 101. I gotta say, it is a pretty awesome book store. I spent the morning reading my favorite manga books with a cup of whatumaycallit coffee that tasted pretty good... nice R&R

For lunch, I ate with my landlord Shannon, her hubby Thomas. We actually drove into the moutain to a remote village where they serve, I gotta say, the best tasting chicken and bac choi EVER. I think the fresh mountain air and the happy farmers made the difference.

Well, I am very rest up now (after my afternoon stone massage and 1 hour in the outdoors tub).

time to hit the bed. tomorrow will be another awesome day here in Taipei I am sure.

Day 1

Well folks. After 14 hours of grueling flight. I am finally here in Taipei relaxing by the bedside in my sister’s singles pad doing some long overdue R&R. Getting here wasn’t easy either. Turned out that my ghetto ass sister completely FORGOT to pick me up at the airport. So I had to spend an extra 3 HOURs sitting at the arrival’s lounge. Anyway, needless to say I was pretty pissed. But I am still glad to see the family.


Day 1 – Spent today learning how to get around the town via the subway system. It was pretty cool. I think I know my way pretty well in Taipei. I went to the biggest bookstore in Taiwan and spent most of the morning there. Reading (not checking out the hot chicks here). Then I went to do some shopping to buy stuffs for sis and mom. I can’t remember the last time I walked so much.
Tomorrow, I am going to 3-1 spa that I went last year do get a massage, a nice brunch, and spend some time in the hot spring there….like what I did last year with Joann. Should be awesome.

K gotta get something to eat now.

Vacationing....

Going Away for a while. Will be back on on 25th.

Be good all my dear friend. I will see you guys soon.

Fobby Sonic Proverb

Here is a fobby proverb from Sonic:

The meaning for the journey of life is like polishing a newfound gemstone.
The goal is to polish it so it gets brighter, not to polish it to make it smaller.

Therapy

1) Nice wine
2) cool and mellow peeps to shoot the shits with
3) Some Mo-town and jazzy jazz tunes
4) High quality weeds (j.k)

Now, that is therapy. I am all better now :P

Can't wait for my R&R in TW and JPN starting next Fri. I can just imagine the stupid fun we'll have if CH decides to comes along :P

Deep fried sausages, fatty porks on rice, spicy chicken nuggets, and of course, Stinky tofus.
here I come!!!!



K. now I am feeling better. need to get some rest now. Long weekend coming up :P

Workday Blues....

Today is DEFINITELY definitely not a good day at work. I will not go into the details of it, but all I can stay is that the BS that is going on now is not making Eddie Happy.

Don't be surprised if there are some alternative plans coming up soon.

Tent and the Great Outdoors

As I was sitting on my throne doing my business this morning looking over sunrise. I can’t help but think. With the immanent global warming, I am not sure how many more years there will be when “nature” disappears. It would be a shame if I don’t enjoy it more. Therefore, I have decided that I want to be, or at least try to be, a outdoorsman.

First thing to do. Buy a tent and actually stay out in the wilds….

Thoughts from Wooden...

Some excerpts from John Wooden.

Character is what you REALLY are. Reputation is what people say you are. Character is how you react to things --Sensibly withoug getting carried away by yourself or your circumstances. A person of character is trust worthy and honest and the type worth while to be in your life.

I believe and know those that I cared about lots are persons of character :P

Most all good things come thru adversity. There's a poem that says:

Looking back it seems to me,
All the grief that had to be
Left me when the pain was o'er
Stronger than I was before.

I believe that. We get stronger when we are tested. Adversity can make us better. and there will always be people of chracter standing alongside us every step of the way.

Its late, and I must head to bed now....early flight tomorrow to San Jose for day buz trip....it'll be fun to see the Acer folks again :P
