HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 !!

Bought a 32G flashdrive off www.newegg.com during Thanksgiving sales. I think they still have good deals. Check it out! The flashdrive convenient my daily life a lot! ^_^

FFXI (ファイナルファンタジーXI )
Anyway, for those who still play FFXI. Please feel free to drop me a msg if you care. I and Candaze have recently applied for marriage ceremoney on FFXI ( please note is on FFXI . hahaa ). I would invite my linkshell members and .... of course ... YOU (If you happen playing on Alexander) !!! Mostly likely the ceremony will be held on February or March. It will be a Sunday for sure and location is the light tower next to the coastline right outside Bastok. Araigumabo will be my bestman. PLEASE COME 1 HOUR IN ADVANCE. More update will be provided.

NDS GAMES:
I finshed couple NDS games these days. Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (悪魔城ドラキュラ奪われた刻印⁾are very fun to play. Actually, now I think of it Castlevania OE is the ONLY Castlevania game I'm interested to play this far. Not bad not bad!

REFLECTION of 2008
Talking about work in real life. Honestly, it is the worst timing in banking industry. I worked all these yrs in banking and I have to admit this is the worst. It is unfortunate. However, I am somehow delighted to witness the historial moments happened in 2008. Who will ever image Madoff created such a large scale scram? I will never expect Citigroup's stock values at less than $7 (OUCH MY STOCKS...) This really makes us think anything can happen. Nevertheless, I will not let emotion to overcome my sense when talking about economics (as that's my expertie ..hehe). We have to learn ignoring and filtering all these negative news. We need to look at things in long term (at least 5 -7 yrs ) especially you are talking about investing on blue chips. That'y I NEVER watch news on TV (For instance, CNN has strong biases is the worst possible place to acquire news related to political and financial ). Moreover, I just wish I have cash to buy properties now. You rarely see BOTH price and rate low at same time. Rate was at 4.875%apy with no points for 30-yrs fixed last week (it went up this week already.. ) I know I know. People keep saying it is hard to be qualified anyway. But I see 20% as down payment is reasonable. If you don't have that to put as down, then you shouldn't dig yourself a hole and get in to housing anyway (should just rent). At last, people around me in the company has already got noticed to be let go. You ask me am I scared and I will say no. Nothing we can worry about or change anything. I have confidence on myself even if I am affected. Bluntly, I do not give a shit. Worst come to worst just file unemployment benefit and sure will find a job within a year (and more spare time will be good for me). I see change as an opportunity. 2009 will be a good year for me.

AR~ Candace started reading 'Twlight' these days. Can someone tell me why it is bestseller? Vampire + everlasting love is the story right? Why it is unique??

REMEMBER TO VOTE !

TOMORROW ... Remember to VOTE ! Vote for Clarenze the Mayor ! LoL I bought some stocks today expecting they will go up with the election result. Bought in 'STEM' at $2.09 and 'MYL' at $8.60. By looking at the stock, you can kinda tell which party I will be voting for.

(left): As Title. hehee.
(midle): McCain aggro Obama.
(right): Brokeback Obama. haha. Just for laugh.

(Left): 1/100 Gundam Unicorn series - MSN-06S SINANJU !!! OH MY GOD!!
(Middle): I have Gundam Unicorn. Just ask Candace, she will agree it is one of the hardest Gundam to build.
(Right): Simply SEXY! (/Stunned)

And I am still playing ^_^

Think I should update this xanga once awhile. I am glad to have a nice long weekend. Honestly, haven't slept and relaxed like this for a long time. Actually, didn't do anything special ... just take care of my 2 pets, watched 'What happens in Vegas" (FUN!) , and guess what .. of course play FFXI! Well, can't wait for the upcoming FFXI festival at Hollywood this yr!! Oh yeah, I just received my 'Tidal Talisman' via UPS. The item-game item is really cool as well. It is also especially useful for Candaze for future travel coz she still hasn't got his airship pass.

Currently, I am leveling Blue Mage (lv25) and Sam (lv18). BLU is FUN! I can solo a lot of stuff and get about 100 - 150 per fight easily. ^_^ It takes a long time to learn those blue magic. But it is rewarding when I collected them .. feel satisfied.. heehe.
