1/21/10: a beautiful and sunny day!

I had an argument with my girlfriend because she misunderstood me. I wanted to let her know that I love her and want to have a happy moments with her. I said it would be a wonderful night if she can do a belly-dance while I am drinking a glass of wine. when I said that I meant we would have a unforgetable night together but she thought I just wanted her to serve me as a king. I got mad and we argued for a while. I don't think this is bad for our relationship. I think that such conflict could give us a better understand each other, and through this we will get to know each other better.
My parents are going back to my country to visit my grandmother side. I sent the gifts to my girlfriend and a friend of mine. I told my best friend to come to the airport to pick up the gifts. He had asked me to give him some $2 bill because the Vietnamese believe that they will bring the luck to us in the first day of the year. I promised him to do so, but I did not do it. I feel uneasy and guilty about that. I know he might be getting mad at me, but I don't blame him. At the bottom of my heart, I want to say sorry to him and compensate him. I am sorry man.

I realize that to implement a plan is very dificult. I thought my plan is simple, and I can do it easily. I want to save money, study English and working out everyday. I want to do it bit by bit but keep doing everyday. The plan sounds simple, but it is hard to do in reality. For instance, I have to get up early at 4:30 in the morning to work on the weekends, so I am too tired to be able to set up for a working out. I know it is hard to do everything I want every single day, yet I know I have to do it in order to make a better life for me. I wasted too much time since I came to the U.S. My life would be so much better if I regconized this early on, but I was in the struggle by that time. I struggled to find and form a way for my life, a new life that I was not ready for it yet. Time past as I am getting mature, a mature man who knows where to go and what to do. From now to May, I am gonna to paid off all my debts and get my AA degree done. After that I am gonna try to find another job to save money as much as possible. Next year I am gonna go back to my country and open my own business there. I nurture a great ambitions, and I know I have to work hard to make it. I want to write an autography some day in the future, so I have to have some interesting events to write about. I am very excited to write a book in English that tells my story, my life, my thoughts and my innermost feelings. I will try to write a short article everyday, hopefully some day they would make up a great book for me.

Friendship!

Today is a great day because I realize that I still have good friends around me. I thought nobody helps me and understands me, but I was wrong. There are still the friends who sincerely come to me without any exploitation. I just called Bien, a friend of mine, and confided to him my financial problem. Suprisingly, he is willing to borrow me the money that he reserves to build a house. I am moved by his act. I know that amount of money has to be used in very important plan, but he is willing to give it to me. Thank so lot my buddy.

Headache

I don't know what I am doing now, but I am really headache. My financial problem, my future, my life all make me too tired. I really regret what I had done in the past 5 years. If I didn't extravagantly spend all my money, I wouldn't be in a bad situation like this. If I didn't waste my time, I could be able to get my BA this summer. If... If I met her earlier, I could have had motivation to strike. I used to live a life without any goal. I used to leave my life float wherever it wanted to go. But I am a strong person, I am a good man. I cannot be failed. I got to be successful. Instead spending my time thinking about what already happened, I will use my time to implement my plan. Here are what I am gonna do:
I will strike to pay off all my debt in June, and I will try to find another job to save money.
I will strike to get my AA degree done this semester.
Everyday I will try to finish these goals: study, working out, saving money, reading an article, watching TV and videos and blogging in order to practice my English.
I will do everything to make my dreams become true because I am a strong man, and I cannot be failed.

A Failure of Consevative Americans

I love cars, and that's the reason why I usually watch the cars on streets whenever I have the chances. One thing attracts my attention is the popularity of the Japanese cars right in the U.S which is known as a paradise for carmakers.Years ago, American automotive manufacturers as GM, Ford and Chrysler were the dominators on the auto market. The biggest market were on the hands of these giants, and no one could compete with them. However, this number one position was changed rapidly in the past decade. The acceding of Japanese carmakers such as Honda and Toyota has push several American traditional manufacturers into bankruptcy hole in which some of them had to receive the help of government to be existed.
I usually go working out at the Lake Merrit. One day after parking my car, I looked at the cars parking along the pavement. Can you imagine what I realized? I saw 12 cars, and 9 of them were Honda brand. What does this figure represent? I tried to think of the points that create the spectacular victory for the Japanese in the traditional industry of American in the U.S. Here is what I came up with:
The mother mistake that caused the whole industry to collapse was the conservation of the leaders among GM and Ford. GM and Ford was lead by a conservative generation that insisted the ancient value of Americans. They respected the workers too much and gave them too many benefits, too much power which became a big burden for the companies' budget. In addition, the conservatism obstructed the development, the adaption and the ability to make changes that are extremely important in the global economic environment today. As a result, they manufactured the products that did not match the consumers' demands. The SUVs were still their major product lines while the gas price was going up. In contrast, the Japanese carmakers make small, easy-to-use, save-gas, run-well cars with great exterior and reasonable prices. With those problems lasted for long time, the failure of American carmakers was an inevitable consequence.
Recently, GM and Ford start making the small cars, and I increasingly see them running on streets. It is a wonderful sign for the rehabilitation of one of the biggest pride of the world-leading country.

GG!

What do you think the GG might be? It could be various things. For my own use, I name it Great Google.
Years ago, when somebody asked you something that you did not know, you would say "I don't know". In these days, you won't say "I don't know". Instead, you would say "I don't have the Internet". That is true. You can find everything you want to know on the Internet, from merchandises to the information. Internet is the great innovation of human, but you could probably not to be able to find the information you need if there isn't Google. Google was born giving us a wonderful tool to search. I work at a gas station, and fortunely it has the Internet access. So I just bring my laptop to workplace and do anything I want while still making the paycheck. I am attending a college, and as you know, all the students have to go online in order to get the homework done so I really need a search machine to do my homework. Again, thanks Larry Page and Sergey Brin (I just went to Google to get their correct names.Hehehhe). Thanks Google. Everything I need, I just click on the Google. I need the information for my business class' project, click on Google. I need to find the closest Best Buy, click on Google. My computer has some troubles, and I need to solve them. Click on Google. Shortly, Google is all. It founders are now billionares, and they deserve for that simply because it is Google.
That is the reason why I call it GG: Great Google.
