siddhartha

well its about time i finished another book. always difficult to find some quiet time without falling asleep in this heat.

here's what i got out of it:

* Siddhartha points out "When someone seeks, then it happens all too easily that his eyes will see only the thing he is seeking, that he cannot find anything, cannot let anything in, because he is always thinking only of that thing he seeks, because he has a goal, because he is possessed by the goal. Seeking means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal."

* "One can convey knowledge but not wisdom. One can find wisdom, one can live it, one can be borne by it, one can work wonders with it, but one can neither speak it nor teach it."

* "Time is not real.... And if time is not real, then the span that seems to lie between world and eternity, between suffering and bliss, between evil and good, also is an illusion."

now if you're interested in these key points, i'll be glad to explain and elaborate on them. after all each point can be a book on its own, but none the less VERY insightful.

friend vs acquaintance

so i'm looking at my chat buddy list just now and realized how misconstrued my definition of a friend was before i got it organized. why did i start to organize my buddy list you might ask? well one reason was i couldn't see who was online without having to scroll up and down even on the highest resolution. i've met a lot of ppl in my time. naively enough though, i presumed all of them to be friends. at some point though, i think they were. but being a friend is a two way streak i think.

i'm tired of being the only one reaching out to some of these so called friends. some i know are busy, but that's no excuse to not be able to drop a quick message or email or phone call saying what's up. i have true friends that do that even if they are busy with life you know what i mean? i mean, i reach out even if i'm busy myself. i think ppl use the term friends too loosely these days. just like love and a few other words i'm sure you can think of.

so when is time for ppl to reassess their definitions of certain terms? well for me, as i'm getting older, it's a matter of convenience really. i only need to talk to and spend time with friends that return the same sentiment i feel towards them. after all, i'm not a kid anymore where knowing lots of ppl meant that you are cool. i'll leave that game to the kids to play.

this is not to say that shut myself out from making new friends. ;) i'm always open to new friends, i'm just more selective is all. my buddy list now consists of maybe a handful of names i would chat to often. the rest are a collapse acquaintance list.

i apologize to my friends now if you are reading this... because now you get ALL my attention! ;)

news from abroad

my fling with opportunities

closing the door to past chapters seems a bit easier now that i've had a decent amount of practice. disappointment is something i can expect and manage much better in a timely manner. life was meant to be carefree and enjoyed one day at a time, such as the lessons taught by my parents when i was younger. its no wonder i see them happy more often than not.

hence life is great! i've taken my opportunities and didn't let them pass me by, even if they fell through. makes for living in the present a bit easier since i hardly have to wonder about the past and those what-if questions.

so far my pursuit for a new job is still in the works and the current count is 0 for 1. i've discovered my weaknesses and shall improve before the next attempt. my pursuit for in relationships on the other hand is 0 for 2. lastly my business opportunities is still pending, but i'm quite hopeful with this one since i don't see reasons why it will fall through. we have the ppl experience, money, and the foresight along with motivation.

the future is a constant change given the actions of the present. you have no future if you don't take the risks to follow your dreams. and on that note... i solute those risk takers. good luck!

wish me luck!

waiting on approval for the yogurtland franchise and recent job interview!

did i not mention that 2008 was a year of CHANGE?! =) tis the year to let my actions do the talking. for all those also aspiring for some change... JUST DO IT!

those that support my crazy ideas, endeavors and antics... i THANK thee DEEPLY! for those that have doubts and disapprove, well... i've got nothing nice to say, so the next time we meet i shall just smile. =)

did i mention that i'm finally taking a real vacation this year? paris here i cometh! it's been too long since my last real trips/adventures overseas. vacations here are fun, but its just not the same going somewhere where the language is other than english.

oh and if YOU are reading this eileen... april is coming around SHORTLY! guess what happens in april my dear long time friend... =) i know that you are moving to the east coast (nj/nyc) but don't you think we should give US a chance? seriously, i've known you forever... well except those 5 years where i fell into some wormhole, but i've managed to come back out of that time warp. ;) we get along well don't we? i can't see our friendship falling apart if the relationship doesn't workout cause we started out as good friends.

i can honestly say that i'm over my little drama ordeal. and if you are truly over yours neither of us will be rebounding since i think i'm waaaay past that stage. i'm not looking for a relationship to replace someone, but because i really think we would be great for each other. i love that you have great optimism and persistent at what you want to do and achieve.

think about it. lets pickup where we left off in sept/oct. worst case you'll be moving in aug anyways. you can get rid of me then. ;) you'll only have to put up with me for a few months. =)

[blog] interview questions

1. Given a sequence Q of n numbers (positive and negative), the maximum subsequence of Q is the contiguous subsequence that has the maximum sum among all contiguous subsequences of Q.
2. Given an array of n integers (positive and negative), find a pair of integers in the array that equates to a k value.
3. Given an array of n integers (positive and negative), find the k largest integers in the array.
4. Given a link list of n elements. The list will always contain 1,000,000+ elements. Find the 100,000 element from the end of the array.
5. Given a link list of n elements. These elements can point anywhere and may even point back to a prior element in the list. This is when you have a cycle. Write a routine to detect cycles in this link list.
6. Given n marbles all of equal weight except 1 and two scales, find an algorithm to find the heaviest marble.
7. Stack (push, pop, peek); minPeek (push, pop, peek, peekMin)

first round of job search

well today marked the first day ever that i have submitted my resume to requiters. both my jobs after college were kinda given so i didn't have to work on getting them. lets see how this turns out. =) i'm confident that the resume is superb for the positions i would want!

btw.. the first round is for jobs in nyc! :-D

concerts journal

my concert events up to now:

1. death cab for cuties @ greek theatre w/ eileen
2. hellogoodbye @ wiltern theatre w/ judy, kent and annie
3. james blunt @ wiltern theatre w/ eileen

guess there isn't too many yet, but hopefully that will change before i'm too old to deal with the crowd let alone young kids. =)

RIP Heath Ledger

my condolence and regards go out to the family of heath ledger. may he rest in peace.

just another day in irvine =)

you would think that i've learned my lesson from the last speeding ticket that got me 2 points and a reckless on my record... NOPE! got pulled over by another fat pig on a bike. what's up with pigs always sitting around hiding. i mean seriously, 48 in a 30 on the back roads of campus...

i guess this is what i get for always saying i'd NEVER get a ticket in irvine. there's always a first for everything!

oh happy days. =)

j

the new 30's

ok. now i'm in my 30's. what now? so far so good health wise i presume even though that is my prognosis and not really from a doctor. i hate doctors. i can't even remember the last time i've been to one, but it's been over 10 years for sure. i figured if there is something wrong, i'll find out when it's too late hopefully be drugged up while i wait to pass on. =)

well. gotta run and play some vball with toan and his family. at least i'm trying to keep healthy.. think that will work? hehe. if not, oh wells. such is life.

adios vatos

ok. so i haven't blogged in awhile. been keeping myself busy as usual.

i realize i'm truely getting old. i said old, not wiser. none the less, my body can't take the mid week bars and clubs like it could have back in college. for awhile the bars and clubs have died down after david and comp all got gf's. now the peeps are coming out again and it's all good and fun, but DAMN tiring. how long can i keep this up for? dunno. just so long as i'm not sitting at home doing thing, i'll keep on going for as long as it takes or when my body gives out.

as i'm typing out this blog, i'm trying to keep my eyes open till lunch break so i can take a quick nap. computers really bore me now so i really have to move onto the next career soon or own my own cafe/auto shop. blah blah blah.. zzzzzzzzzzz

ENGINE SWAP COMPLETED!!!!
another priceless moment. =)

ahh.. it's been awhile since i've updated my short term goals so here i goes for my own record.

there has finally been progress on that weight gain. as of RIGHT now i'm 123lbs.. but that'll be 120 or so by morning. where the heck does that weight go when i'm just sleeping! progress makes me happy, so let the progress continue!

i've done my fair share of salsa for the time being. think i'll take a break from that since it pretty much blocks out my entire saturday. BUT i have decided to actually sign up for a guitar class at IVC. that'll be lots of fun i predict. i think i'll concentrate on guitar for the time being along with turning black over the summer. i've already gone through my first layer of skin so far and summer hasn't even begun yet. guess some sunblock is needed aye? ;)

aight. that's it for now. gotta catch some z's.

happy 420 homies!

for every end there is a new beginning. likewise for every beginning there has to be an end. life is an infinite loop of beginnings and endings. each moment is a slice in time. all the slices aggregated over our lifetime defines who we are and what we are about. any blemishes we've created can never be overlooked nor forgotten. doing so would only deny our existence. to exist is to think and act according to what we perceive is our chosen path. life does not come with a guide for us to rely on for directions, but we do the best we can to travel the road most interesting.

and with that thought, i depart leaving you with the notion of the road least traveled. you are at a fork in a road, which path would you be most likely to take?

this is a test of the new publishing features from google. looks really promising if this gets posted. and here we go...

and here goes a modification to the post. where is that darn title...

La Belle Et Le Bad Boy by MC Solaar

Sounds corny, but Leili suggested it. Turns out to have a catchy tune after all. And one of my favorite shows Sex and the City used it on one of their season finale when they filmed in Paris. Here are the lyrics and the song is to the right in my flash player. Just hit the play button.

Mc Solaar - La Belle Et Le Bad Boy Lyrics

* the [] areas are an english translation

Ils s'etaient rencontres sur les bancs d'l'ecole
[They met back in school]
Entre une heure de colle de maths ou d'un cours d'espagnol
[Between a math class and a spanish class]
C'etait un fille fun fana de football
[She was a soccer fan]
Lui ne craignait pas les balles, c'etait le goal
[But he didn't fear balls, it was the goal]
C'qu'il lui promettait c'etait des ballades en Corvette
[Only thing he promised was rides in a Corvette]
Pour l'instant en survet, il volait des mobylettes
[But for now, he was stealing scooters]
Mais entre eux c'etait toujours complicite
[Between them there was always complicity]
Escale sur un piedestal un reve delimite
[Stop on a pedestal, a clear dream]
S'il devenait triangle, elle serait rectangle
[If he became triangle, she would be rectangle]
La belle et le bad boy, le triangle rectangle
[The beauty and the bad boy, the triangular rectangle]
C'est comme passer de Joe Dassin a Jodeci
[It's like going from Joe Dassin to Jodeci]
Un vrai truc de ouf style pur clip de R&B
[A real R&B videoclip drama]
Elle vit le grand amour, qui commence dans la cour
[She's living the great love, that begins in the court]
Se poursuit dans les tours et rime toujours avec toujours
[Continues during tours and always rhymes with 'toujours']
Mais le contexte est plus fort que le concept
[But the context is sronger than the concept]
Son mec se jette dans les flammes et il se lave avec.
[Her man jumps into the flames and showers in them]

Chorus:
Les sous ensembles dans les grands ensembles s'assemblent
[Small ensembles in big ensembles assemble]
La belle et le bad boy(x3)

[The beauty and the bad boy]
Les sous ensembles dans les grands ensembles s'assemblent
[Small ensembles in big ensembles assemble]

Les sous ensembles dans les grands ensembles s'assemblent
[Small ensembles in big ensembles assemble]
Pour gagner des sous ensemble
[To win money together]
Parlent sans faire semblant de faire des coups ensemble
[Talk without giving the impression of doing business together]
Et si c'est sanglant. Ils plaident devant Dieu ensemble. Vu
[And when it gets bloody, they plead God together. See.]
Ils etait convaincant, elle etait convaicue
[They were convinving, She was convinced]
A croire qu'aujourd'hui s'arreter etait exclu
[To think today that stopping was out of the question]
Ils trafiquent des faux billets avec des reseaux slaves.
[They traffic counterfeit money with Slavic networks]
Balancent la concurence. en France c'est un delit grave.
[Beat the competition. In France it's a serious offense]
Risque pour les pommettes, les mecs sortent des baumettes.
lui n'a qu'un truc en tete, c'est la quete de sa Corvette.
Ambiance paranoiaque. L'equipe adverse traine
[Paranoiac environment, the adverse team lags behind]
Des projectiles partent quand une BM freine
[Projectiles go off when a BMW brakes]
Quand elle tombe, il a les larmes aux yeux
[When she falls, tears drops off his eyes]
Deux balles de 22. Vingt deux ans adieu
[Two .22 bullets. Twenty two(years old) Goodbye]
Le contexte est plus fort que le concept
[The Context is stronger than the concept]
Son mec s'est jette dans les flammes il faut qu'il se lave avec
[Her man jumps into the flames He has to shower in them]
