I just finished a book and the excerpt from the passage in the book pierced my heart:
But the man who hath naught in his purse is unkind to his family and is disloyal to his king, for his own heart is bitter
I want to know if ‘Labor Day’ Holiday should be renamed to ‘Quit Complaining About Work’ Holiday? Well input…
There’s no such a thing as getting or growing old. Growing up is the key factor to require duct tapes to hold it together and press on.
I cannot remember the last time I entered the blog entry here. Today is July 3rd and enjoying my 4-day weekend.
I noticed that some of my blog entries are dull which is unusual for me because I always look for trouble-making, things like that. I don’t know what had happened to me lately. I remember when I was living in Italy and Washington DC – I try to keep my head cool and not to look for mischievous opportunities because I don’t want to make myself look bad.
So far living in Indiana – it ain’t so bad and meeting great people here. I don’t know what else to say but overall – it ain’t so bad and it is nice to come up and visit.
I am still around and am finally all settled in new apartment in Jeffersonville. What a trip because it is so unlike I settled in Italy and Washington DC immediately.
When the time comes, I will give you a virtual grand tour of my apartment in the future.
My new job went well so far and turns out I will be learning about web applications, software development, and perhaps do some software engineering. I believe mostly I will be doing web development but they could end up giving me something new I never faced before.
That should be an interesting job endeavor so far.
Again, I went to Pei Wei Asian with a friend of mine few weeks ago. I got a fortune that is strikingly bold.
Do not mistake temptation for opportunity
How difficult it is when we see an opportunity just to be tempted to seize the day. Maybe it is trying to reflect that we should hone on self-mastery ability to recognize when and where to seize the day at the right time in the right place.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Some of you knew that I got a job in Indiana for two years. It is a temporary assignment with US Census Bureau but then I become competitive status after two years and live anywhere I desire to live. Fortunately, it comes with full package but the relocation package is not included. It’s the same job I had in web programming in Washington DC last summer. The grade level is the same but will go to “relocation” package, I guess I might not be able to have fun for the first few months.
Jeffersonville is situated on the state line with Kentucky, or to be more specific which is across the Ohio River from Louisville, KY. I am not going into details about Louisville as some of you know about the city. Home to the US Census Bureau’s National Processing Center. I often ask myself what Jeffersonville has in store for me and I checked out the town on the Internet, it has history dated back to mid-1800s and Civil War era and is considered a small town of approximately 28,000. It is home to Papa John’s Pizza, which was originated in that town; yes, you heard me correctly. I am told that it is hick’s town, I haven’t been there so I cannot decide until I see it for myself.
Furthermore, I am thrilled to have the job in web programming field and to gain the experience from the job, which could be applied to my web design company that I am starting up. However, I am not too thrilled to leave Texas to head up north for a lot of reasons. I literally bought Texas accessories to bring it with me to make a home. I can see why some circumstances didn’t work out in Washington DC as I had hoped for. Down in the long-run, I’ve never been more happier to be back in Texas, kissing Texan soil not wanting to wash off my lips. In the meanwhile, I’ve never felt free and spreading my wings to establish and develop myself to be the person I wanted to become.
It’s nearly 2 months since I entered a blog here. So many things had happened lately.
I dropped out of marathon training due to frequent business trips and shoulder inflammatory.
I was going through the domain name transfer to different hosting server which took forever! What more is I had to transfer XHTML files and the database as well by changing the codes under 2 different markup languages.
I got a new job in Indiana with Census Bureau so I will be relocating in the middle of May. The position is same that I had in Washington DC last summer, same grade level/salary. This time it comes with full benefits not including relocation package (oh slap!).
I am starting to settle in a new pad. So far, everything is closer and getting around is much easier. I’m under the impression that I am going to face some challenges from now on. I have no idea what I am doing with myself these days.
Last night I finally slept and it was the best sleep I ever had in a longgg time. I woke up feeling great and unweary. I’ve never felt this way before. It’s the best feeling.
I went to my parents’ house for few things and it didn’t feel like a home anymore. I asked myself, is it really my home or what? It’s a different feeling.
