Mole or Birthmark on Scalp
Our hermit would predict that this man is patient, tough, cool, loyal, honest, prudent, and careful. He will achieve success in his profession around the age of 47 years. His name will be recognized and well-known due to his success and hard work since his early years. He cares about his pride, fame and family recognition and he will be very happy during his retirement years. His fortunate wife is from a family of high status, either from wealth or intellectual attainment.

Just got home from eating at Ruth's Chris with ww and I must say the food was some of the best that I've ever had. I almost got home and then something funny happened. On my way to the elevator a lady maybe in her late 20s or early 30s went in front of me. We went inside the elevator and I pressed 10, and she pressed PH. I stood against the wall and stared into the nothingness behind her. She was looking straight in front to avoid eye contact. Then for some reason I thought PH came before 10, so I waited for her to get off first. I waited and waited and kept wondering why she is not getting off. Then she finally turned and looked at me with a rather shocked/confused gesture. Only then did I realize...

I think the fact that it was 1am, with no one else inside the elevator, and how I was looking "behind" her made her very very uncomfortable. I thought about apologizing or explaining myself before departing, but I think she would've brought out that pepper spray if I stayed any longer. Anyway, fun night.

First time mountain biking on the Don today...I got humbled...fell off the trail 2x...few huge bumps on my shin...but it was one of the most exciting things I've EVER done in Toronto, really. Let me know if you're interested!

2009-05-04T00:24:00.008-04:00

Today will by my first day of work. There are lots of stuff I want to accomplish in the next 16 months and I wish that I can look back at this and say that I have accomplished them. It's definitely going to be exciting to say the least to not go to school for so long, and I'll make sure this will be worth it.

Goals by September 2010:
-SQ, QL3 qualified
-M2 license
-Learn to drive a stick
-SCJP certified
-Learn to maintain my car and mountain bike
-Bunny hop
-Muay Thai at least 4 days a week (do at least a in house by the end)
-Run a marathon or half marathon
-2 books a month (32 at the end)
-Learn php
-Make use of my guitar and not remain static at the same level
-Learn as much as I can on the job, and not say its "boring"
-Chin/Pull up 30 reps
-Cultivate friendship
-Learn pinyin
-Skydive
-Make use of my facilities and get better at pool and swimming
-Learn to drive a plane if I save up enough...

Yup, thats a lot on my plate. Let's hope they are all crossed by the end!

Drill Sergeant: Gump! What's your sole purpose in this army?
Forrest Gump: To do whatever you tell me, drill sergeant!
Drill Sergeant: God damn it, Gump! You're a god damn genius! This is the most outstanding answer I have ever heard. You must have a goddamn I.Q. of 160. You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump. Listen up, people...
Forrest Gump: [narrates] Now for some reason I fit in the army like one of them round pegs. It's not really hard. You just make your bed real neat and remember to stand up straight and always answer every question with "Yes, drill sergeant."
Drill Sergeant: ...Is that clear?
Forrest Gump: Yes, drill sergeant!

I can already imagine myself in those cold winter nights, hooded up looking through those eye meshes. And perhaps some old lady looking at me in shock and disgust across the street.

...but when will we get these in Canada #@#!@$#$@%^

and happy belated anniversary to philkl.blogspot.com

What is inside the treasure at the end of the rainbow?

Turns out that I was digging at the wrong end.

Oops.

Well, at least I enjoyed the view.

難分真與假　人面多險詐
幾許有共享榮華
簷畔水滴不分差

無知井裡蛙　徒望添聲價
空得意目光如麻
誰料金屋變敗瓦

命裡有時終須有
命裡無時莫強求

雷聲風雨打　何用多驚怕
心公正白璧無瑕
行善積德最樂也

人比海裡沙　毋用多牽掛
君可見漫天落霞
名利息間似霧化
君可見漫天落霞
名利息間似霧化

Quote from As A Man Thinketh - by James Allen,

"Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are. Their whims, fancies, and ambitions are thwarted at every step, but their inmost thoughts and desires are fed with their own food, be it foul or clean. The "divinity that shapes our ends" is in ourselves; it is our very self. Man is manacled only by himself: thought and action are the jailers of Fate - They imprison, being base; they are also the angels of Freedom - they liberate, being noble. Not what he wishes and prays for does a man get but what he justly earns. His wishes and prayers are only gratified and answered when they harmonize with his thoughts and actions."

Other short essays I recommend:
- Acres of Diamonds, by Russell H. Conwell
- A Message to Garcia, by Elbert Hubbard

Some say we're never meant to grow up
I'm sure they never knew enough
I know the pressures won't go
Away
It's too late

Find out the difference somehow
It's too late to even have faith
Don't think things will ever change
You must be dreaming

Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
And if I fall I'll take it all
It's so easy after all

Believe me 'cause now's the time to try
Don't wait, the chance will pass you by
Time's up to figure it out
You can't say it's too late

Seems like everything we knew
Turned out were never even true
Don't trust, things will ever change
You must be dreaming
(Dreaming)

Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
And if I fall I'll take it all (Wake me up, wake up)
It's so easy after all

Some say we're better off without
Knowing what life is all about
I'm sure they'll never realize the way
It's too late

Somehow it's different everyday
In some ways it never fades away
Seems like it's never gonna change
I must be dreaming
(Dreaming, Dreaming)

Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
And if I fall I'll take it all it's so easy after all

Believe me, it's alright
It's so easy after all
Believe me, it's alright
It's so easy after all

my goal this summer...

2008-03-13T02:20:00.000-04:00

No more midterm or test this semester la, except for a few assignments here and there. The content wasn't hard but, yet again due to my lack of study habit and other circumstances, I did not achieve the result I wanted. I'm trying to refrain from using the term "failure" as much as I can, because failure is nothing but unsatisfactory result. And most results in life are determined by our own action, not God's. You fail only when you believe you've failed. Though it's much easier to put the blame on Him, and not giving Him credit for our success.

The voice of conscience is so soft, and yet so clear when you hear it. The race is not over Phil, catch up.

Juno MacGuff: I'm losing my faith in humanity.
Mac MacGuff: Think you can narrow it down for me?
Juno MacGuff: I guess I wonder sometimes if people ever stay together for good.
Mac MacGuff: You mean like couples?
Juno MacGuff: Yeah, like people in love.
Mac MacGuff: Are you having boy troubles? I gotta be honest; I don't much approve of dating in your condition, 'cause well... that's kind of messed up.
Juno MacGuff: Dad, no!
Mac MacGuff: Well, it's kind of skanky. Isn't that what you girls call it? Skanky? Skeevy?
Juno MacGuff: Please stop now.
Mac MacGuff: [persisting] Tore up from the floor up?
Juno MacGuff: Dad, it's not about that. I just need to know if it's possible for two people to stay happy together forever, or at least for a few years.
Mac MacGuff: It's not easy, that's for sure. Now, I may not have the best track record in the world, but I have been with your stepmother for 10 years now and I'm proud to say that we're very happy.
[Juno nods]
Mac MacGuff: In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.
Juno MacGuff: I sort of already have.
Mac MacGuff: Well, of course! You're old D-A-D! You know I'll always be there to love and support you no matter what kind of pickle you're in... Obviously
[nods to her belly]
Juno MacGuff: I need to go out somewhere just for a little while. I don't have any homework and I swear I'll be back by ten.
Mac MacGuff: You were talking about me right?

"There's a first time for everything."
It's only February and I've already had a few this year. Some I can't control, some stands out among others, and some I've brought upon myself...
None the less they are the very experience that makes us who we are.

Yes, they work.
