Most Precious Treasure

Sun, 27 Jun 2010 01:59:16 -0700

Whenever you showed your face, we just ended up fighting.
That was a good memory too.

You told me, so I’m not afraid anymore.
No matter how uncomfortable it gets, we can grasp hold of happiness.

Even if I’m alone, I’ll go on, even if it’s hard.
I will definitely carry on the dream I had with you.
I’m glad it was you, and not somebody else,
but in the morning when I wake up, you are no longer there.

I get the feeling we were always playing around.
I know it’s just a feeling.
I no longer have any regrets about being born.
It’s like the aftermath of a festival; it might be sad, but now it’s time to go.

I’ll go anywhere. I’ll definitely realize
the dream known as “happiness”, that I learned of here.
Even if we’re separated, no matter how far apart we are,
I will live on in the new morning.

Even if I’m alone, I’ll go on, even if I don’t want to die.
I can hear a voice telling me that I mustn’t die.
Even if it’s hard, even if I cry from loneliness,
I can feel warmth in the depths of my heart.

Times change, twisting and flowing by.
I can no longer remember what happened before.
But when I close my eyes, I can hear someone laughing.
For some reason, that is my greatest treasure right now.

A funny thing happened in the lounge at Michael Mina (335 Powell St.). San Francisco Giants pitcher Barry Zito was enjoying a beverage at the tony bar when a long-haired kid dressed in skater garb walked into the formal restaurant and brazenly strolled up to him. Well, almost. A restaurant manager immediately cut off the intruder, saying something along the lines of, “Please don’t bother Mr. Zito. No autographs tonight.”

Who was the ragged-looking youth? Fellow Giant and two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum.

So my old PC almost exploded due to dust. Sorry old friend

The Beginning

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:23:00 -0800

So I realized even after “restarting” this over, I’m still not posting much at all. The way school’s working this semester is so strange. I’m actually working hard on everything and reading about 95% of the assignments which is like a 80% improvement on how I worked previously, but yet I’m still doing horrible on assignments. I’m not sure if it’s because I feel like school is coming to an end and I’m getting senoritis or something completely different. I do realize though that I cannot keep focus at all on one thing. I even cut down significantly on the amount I go out, yet I still can’t stay intrigued on school right now. I feel too preoccupied with what life is going to be like post-graduation.

Speaking of the future, I’ve been doing some SERIOUS reading on personal finance lately. I’ve read about 4 books on the topic alone, on top of the 3 or 4 blogs I read almost daily and also listen to podcasts. The thing about it, is that I’m extremely interested in things like this when it comes to my own free time, but in a nutshell, the topics are closely related to what I’m doing in school. All the reading I do isn’t only about managing all my finances though, it’s actually about “hacking my life.” I’ve read/listened to so many things that I’m SO glad I’m getting an opportunity to learn about this right before I step out into the real world. These things include: automating my finances, how to and how important it is to negotiate things in life(especially starting salary), how important free work is(NOT internships), what investing really is about and how to select them(it’s not all about stocks!!!), etc.

I feel so much more mentally prepared to start my life as opposed to how I was in 2009. It’s funny that the way I found my way into all of this was when I stumbled upon finding the best savings account to do a big purchase. Now I’m actually not even thinking about that purchase, and am looking to use that money towards investments(Roth IRA $3,000 initial fund.)

That’s more than I think I wrote ever for this, I have a lot more to say, but I think I’ll spread it out a little more

"I can buy 20% of you. I can buy all of you. Or I can go into this business myself and bury you."

First Generation

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 23:24:15 -0800

It’s so heart breaking for me to see parents of foreign land come to the U.S. AKA the land of opportunity and struggle with multiple jobs to pay bills and such…just so their kids can live a better live than they did, but the kids are not taking advantage of it. I know a couple of people who are just working at ‘whatever’ jobs and are living paycheck to paycheck and not taking advantage of what they’re really capable of. I know that everyone has their own choice in life and lifestyle, but man…I personally cannot settle for mediocrity with the lifestyle I envision for myself.

And to those that are making something of themselves…my hat goes off to you. You’re doing your parents proud!

I totally passed FIN350. Screw you, hardest class of my business core classes
