Rainy Friday but temperature not that cold here in the East Coast

Just took daughter to school and prepared vegetarian meals for today, yes it’s Friday Vegetarian day again for the next 6 weeks everyday. The weather is rainy winter mix today but not too cold, it’s at 50 degree but windy so add to the windchill it’s about 40s or high 30s ๐Ÿ™‚ a bit cold but not too cold. Feel like spring time cause the grass start to grow green, that reminds me to start bringing out the lawn mower and ensure that it work and put a way the darn snow blower which I exchanged with a riding lawn mower, since it didn’t snow much or not at all, didn’t use that machine much, will have to clear out the gas and stuff for winter storage.

President Obama Administration will talk with 100 Vietnamese on March 5th 2012

I just heard on the radio confirmation in regard to the stop expanding free Trade with Vietnam due human freedom in Vietnam, there isn’t any much freedom of speech … required 25,000 signature but as of now it’s way over 60,000 signatures on the white house government website, so it’s confirmed and the date set up on March 5th 2012 to talk to 100 Vietnamese voice on this case. No, I don’t think Obama will be there nor the Vice president or secretary Clinton, it’s kind of at an early stage which the president don’t normally schedule to participate, however after the meeting I’m sure we will hear something. So Hooray! for ย Nhac Si Truc Ho, I think I met him in person before, I think he’s the man I saw with Nhac Si Truc Sinh, I’m not sure. This man was the one whom started the signature casted his first signature and after that Vietnamese in US flood email facebook myspace forum blog to other vietnamese and within a couple weeks over 25,000 signature which met the requirements but then it didn’t stop, people kept on signing. It’s too early to say if this will change much in Vietnam, because Obama Administration would need to hear 100 Vietnamese voice and decide whether to take action or not, however it’s a good start.

This is come cool quote and it make a lot of sense on how life is or in reality should be

This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you donโ€™t like something, change it. If you donโ€™t like your job, quit. If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over-analyzing; life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once: seize them. Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people. We are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring passion with them. Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating. Life is short. Live your dream, and share your passion.

What or who the hec is EOC CCA debt collector?

What or who the hec is EOC CCA debt collector? – I received a letter yesterday saying that I owed $75 for AT&T mobility, I checked with AT&T and they said I owed nothing all clear. So why am I receiving this letter? I did some google search and there has been a lot of complaint about this company, such as they’re sending old debts or debts that has been cleared or fake debt that people don’t even know exist, somehow they got it. One forum also indicated that the debt might have been cleared already but sold to another debt collector, such as debt collector A sold thousand of debts to collector B, collector B tried to collect but couldn’t for various reason and one of the reason was because it’s already been cleared so they compile a new list and sell it to collector C and it keeping going around in circle forever, I hope someone can put a stop on this, it probably will take hard work someone whom specialized in this area. Not me ๐Ÿ™‚ So as a result what I did was pull out by last statement balance, made a photo copy and respond to the letter in certified mail indicating it’s the first time you received such notice, and you have called the company to clear and provide phone # and reference #.

watch out for eos cca debt collectors be wary
watch out for eos cca debt collectors be wary

Then last thing you need to do is get a free credit report, you can get one once a year, best to request during middle of the year like now in June or July, and ensure no collectors on your credit report, if there are then dispute it, don’t worry it will clear if you have paper work or being honest then you have nothing to worry about except spending time on it, but it’s worth it. Now if you’re cheating or honestly forgot that it’s legit collection then it’s a different story, yes you must pay the whole amount plus interest for them to remove, it’s a nasty world out there so be vigilent be wary be smart ๐Ÿ™‚ and good luck! to me.

Another nice weather day here in the East Coast

Awesome weather look like it, woke up early in the morning to exercise prepare foods getting the kids ready for school and wife to work are m daily task, I’m like a housewife ๐Ÿ™‚ hehehe I wonder if the terminology exist for a husband working from home exist? well probably but I don’t know what it is. We do share responsibilities, she work and school, finishing up her degree and also working, right now she’s probably making more money than I do, and once she’s out of school I can see that she will be making more money than I do ๐Ÿ™‚ but in this day and age, it’s hard to say, hard to predict the future, never know will encounter obstacles, I’ve seen a very hard working person fail, and a lazy person succeed just by luck, it’s hard to say. However in reality the majority of people whom have a degree or work hard most of the time they will succeed, meaning – nice house, wife, kids, steady income, happiness … anyhow back to the weather, this year 2011-2012 winter kind of strange, I think we got about an inch of snow lol, and spring are coming in a few weeks, and the weather been pretty cool, at night probably 30a to 40s day time 50s to 50s, spring will be awesome such as cutting the grass, plant vegetables garden, bug spray around the house … woo hooo!!!!!

Vegetarian for 6 weeks catholic people?

Well my wife told me we need to eat vegetarian for 6 weeks, well 6 weeks every friday not, everyday ahahahha. So still good, I’m not eating meat today, but accidentally ate a piece of pizza meat ball from my daughter Nyla, she feed me and I didn’t pay attention and when I realize it’s meat, I had already swallowed it ๐Ÿ™‚ oh well, I didn’t mean to, so I think it’s forgiveness. So look like every Friday for six weeks starting this week, I need to eat vegeterian, probably need to buy a lot of Tofu this week after the circus show this Sat. for the kids. Today I ate shrimp noodles, boiled egg, rice and fried eggs, I’ve seen vegetarian people look healthy and young, but I don’t think they’re strong though not as muscular, I’m not sure, doesn’t look like it, what about those Shaolin monk kung fu, I thought they’re vegetarian, they look pretty strong to me ๐Ÿ™‚ hehehehh maybe just for show. Anyhow, give back to the god when you can.

Avoid multi-task when possible people

That’s right avoid multi-task when possible. However there are people that can multi-task mostly woman with children :), well for me multi-task is something I will never master. If I recall back correctly, multi-task can kills your brain cells. Multi task to me is something I would like to master and would love to be able to do on a daily basis, but I tried and tried and even use technology to help, but doesn’t seems to work well for me ๐Ÿ™‚ something wrong ย or something will go wrong, so I tried to stay away from multi-tasking ๐Ÿ™‚ hehehe. I have two trouble maker daughters and keeping up with them is difficult enough, then I have to work and do some house chord and have side business to do, but I always tried to stay away from multi task by prioritize things I need to do and don’t let other task interfere with current task until it’s done. It work for me, so for people who can multi task, you’re good, you’re king! ๐Ÿ™‚ and I’m not ๐Ÿ™‚

Working as a contractor or consultant can be pretty worrying sometime

I lost my full time position back in April 2011, after returning from Vietnam trip, 1 month trip, whether or not the trip was the root cause, doesn’t matter much, I had fun :), but a month in the hot heat was enough :). Wife and children heading back there for a visit with many family members here in US in August this year 2012. Anyhow back to the main topic, I’m a consultant or so call contractor, month to month contract, it’s pretty hard not to wonder when I’m gonna have to find another position or contract with another company for work, I’m a type of person that would rather stick around where I’m comfortable working with people I’ve work with for years than working in an enviroment totally new and have to do that new learning experience thing, although it might be good which I don’t mind, but I prefer where I’m currently comfortable with. Well, will see if my contract will get renew this month or next month I mean March 2012, if not, new company job search here I come, although I had many back up plan, but it’s the same effort as looking for an external contract or consultant job. However, if worst case, I’ll be internet entrepreneur soon, I will work hard at it. Many of my friends, some are doctors, business owners, but some also trying to find jobs, so I wont’ feel bad if among others ๐Ÿ™‚

Not too often we’re lucky enough to get a nice bag of apples that taste delicious like the tropical fruit in Vietnam below, the taste of this apple reminded me of that fruit in Vietnam, I’m not sure what it call something like “Trai Mang”, yummy crunchy. I bought that bag of apples at bottom dollar walking distance from my house. Bottom dollars pretty cool, they had cool marketing strategy, and most of their products are very cheap, not not all, it’s everywhere in the USA now.
