Took dad to the doctor today for advanced macular degeneration, his right-eye vision is getting worse and not able to see well now. After a series of testing, a dose of Avastin was injected today. The left-eye is also showing signs of the same macular degeneration but in a much better shape than the right, currently defined as the "dry form" by the doctor. Hypertension, smoking and age are the main causes for dad's eye problem. If this does not work or show improvements, will find a doctor who could perform cold laser surgery and replace Avastin with Lucentis injections.

Seems like the market has given a down note ahead of this one, will be watching out for a rebound on this drop as bad news might have already been baked in.

waiting for job data to set the short-med trend.
New chinese restaurant opened nearby and it's authentic Cantonese cuisine, so glad that we finally have some decent chinese food here. love it!
09.01.2009
Market singing"wake me up when September ends..." today. dramatic pull back as better-than-expected data no longer fuels the market and profit-taking with a bit of panic selling dictated the downward momentum for most of the day. Got caught in a tailspin with minor loss, now it's about time to decide whether the long-waited correction is underway or this is just a healthy pull back to lure in more buyers. liquidated long-term holdings and trading account ready to trade this volatility. God bless America, God bless me. Dow: 9310 -186, S&P: 998 -23, Nasdaq: 1969 -40 Oil: $68.44 Gold: $955.30 09.02.03.04.05.06.07.2009 Labor Day weekend and an extra day for kids to play! With this week ended as unemployment came in at 9.7% and job loss at 216,000, but I guess that's better than expected as Dow surged 97 pts, gold approaching $1000 mark again. This recession so far has claimed 7.4 million jobs. 5 more banks failed this week and total of 89 in 2009. As the summer is offically over next week, things should get busy on Wall St., but I doubt the volatility will heat up as poeple are still gaming on which direction we will go forward from here in the near term. Correction or not, that's a million dollar question. On the gay side, and I mean GAY as in boys like boys, Southern Decadence Party in the French Quarter is on. After been cancelled for the past two years on the hurricane fears, this year plenty of peple are in the Quarter for the event, and I am somehow relieved that poeple, gays or not, are still coming to Nawlins for a fun and wild weekend. 09.04.2009 Dow: 9441 Nasdaq: 2019 S&P: 1016 Oil: $67.79 Gold: $997 09.08.2009 decisions decisions...yawn...... energy real estates and precious metals on the spotlight, weakness in USD and financials. tomorrow on volume should pick up and volatility returns. 09.09.2009 Pres. Obama speaks before Congress, mainly on health-care reform and the state of economy. Basically, health-care for all without raising a dime in deficit. one Republican. rep screamed-out "you lied" during his speech on the part of no health care insurance benefits for illegals. well, he's lying or not no matter, but tax hikes soon i am sure of, can't think of any other ways. 09.10.2009 8.30am short/8.45am covered/2.40pm short/2.59pm covered. lucky day. Nothing can stop this raging bull...sort of. Dow closed at 2009 high at 9627 +80, S&P: 1044 +11, Nasdaq: 2084, Oil: $72.10, Gold: $997...MS changes CEO. 09.11.2009 remember 9.11.2001 09.11.12.13.2009 Obama to set 35% punitive tariff on Chinese tire imports. For three long years 35% the first year 30% the second and 25% the third that's on top of 4%. It will be interesting to see the market's action on Monday as this might create a chain reaction of over-reactions and imaginations running wild, such as China's retaliations and Treasurys auctions going without it's strongest backer, and similar actions imposed on import products other than tires...so on and so forth. BBQ and dim sum, love it~ rainy and a bit windy this weekend but beat the heck out of the hot and sweaty summer days! Looking ahead Monday Obama speaks on banking reform, Tue marks one yr after Lehman and Aug retail sales, PPI and biz inventory, Wed CPI and industrial production, Thur housing starts and weekly jobless claims, Fri quadruple witching and state-by-state employment reports.

(I think he is kidding) let's party people!! 09.16.2009 Volatile day on the street, some profit-taking and sector rotations after this run-up but market is very resilient and simply refuses to go down. Congress to extend unemployment benefits in some states with high unemployment rates yet in fairness why not extend these benefits to all and save some controversies? Housing rebate, cash for clunkers, and massive bank bail-outs will likely raise serious problems on stellar national deficit looking forward. high unemployment rates and costly health-care reform and weak dollar are the keys to this economic recovery and funtamental changes in consumer spending post even higher threats to main street abroad. 94 banks failed so far this year.

"....the U.S. unemployment rate jumped to a 26-year high of 9.4% in May as the number of jobless Americans rose by 787,000 to 14.5 million....though rate of deterioration is slowing..." Fields of green shoots and PPT manipulations in the market, assets inflation is moving on the commodities that have given a lot of ppl hope and confidence and it shows on the indexes. Techs are performing and C and GM were replaced by CSCO and TRV in the DOW. In this extraordinary time in life not only have I witnessed the burst of equity and Treasury bubbles and massive de-leverage abroad, but also the invisible hands of the politicians' relentless efforts to intervene into the private markets, armed with monetary policies and bailouts to artificially creat another bubble in order to delay the inevitable depression in the economy. Falling US dollar is creating a glabal debate of whether a replacement of this reserve currency should be created. With trillions in deficits and record level high unemployments in this consumer-based economy, recovery is no where near. Sadly, the American dream has become the ultimate nightmare.
06.06.07.2009 movie: UP: best movie so far this summer, great family fun!! 06.08.2009 Bond yield spread is widening, if this thing collapses everything goes. Talks of hyper-inflation, equity traders are switching sides on the hourly basis and the usual right-hand hook at today's last trading hour. This is not a field for junior players, this is trading against FED and the foreign central banks and sovereign funds. Dollar better springs to life soon or else....
This round ought to be test 2 against the bulls. What is going to be the catalyst that triggers the selloff? Inflation, interest rate hike, oil, usd, financials, unemployment, foreclosures, ARM resets, and/or the same old de-leveraging that we began with? Could Citi survive this round or will it take the same path as AIG? Now it is clear that the so called Too Big To Fails are winding down and likely to be dismantled by the newly proposed regulations, with full intention of avoiding another systematic meltdown. The stimulus will be gradually injected into the broader areas of the economy which will soon take its effect, and the not-so-natural process of survivor of the fittest in the marketplace shall begin. It will be different this round without the gov bailouts and interventions, since Obama adm. is running out of his charms and Fed and Treasury will face harsh public criticism. We are in the eye of the storm. To those who think of a rosy and everlasting recovery, there will be rigorous lessons ahead. Movie: The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3: 期望太高结果没那么好看! 06.19.2009 Quad witching Friday without the usual volatility, FDIC Friday took on 3 more and made 40 banks failed so far this year. test 2 is kind of a drag in a calm way. Around this time of the year sun is always a bit too warm and body's feeling a bit lazy, maybe this is a good time for people to unwind. Park in the money market and gone fishing! I used to watch bullfights when I lived in Central America: 06.20.21.2009 From March comes the short squeeze and the green shoots, in April bulls celebrated, in May But to lure
traders in and shaked the longs' confidence, in June we saw and are seeing trading range and volume
narrower and lower and in doubt, in July we'll see bulls bleed and bears turn more
upbeat, in August everyone will be confused and likely to lose on both longs and
shorts, In September people call it quit in despair and from October on, people
will be jumping off the buildings. By the year-end Obama's popularity drops and Congress telling him: NO WE CAN'T! and Geithner might step down and of course Citi no more. Now, throw in T bonds and USD and oil and gold and all the geopolitical shit, I am blinded or profoundly confused to say the least. How's that before turning 40?.....fuck me~

Profit taking, big fuss over AIG's executive bonuses to in-house derivative traders, the exact same bunch who brought down the comapny, go figure.
AIG surged 100% intraday on disclosure of it's counterparty list, many of the national and international financials groups and banks have received money from US taxpayers. now everything starting to wind down....there are still some upside potentials ahead...Funny how after C's positive comments last week and last night's Ben boost, everything's starting to look rosy again with a shower of positive comments and outlooks from BAC JPM BCS and so on, and seems like solvency is no longer a problem, for now.
But what goes up must come down and vice-versa, and the fundamental issue is: what make the banks strong?

2/28/2009 THE STIMULUS PACKAGE EXPLAINED(转贴)
THE STIMULUS PACKAGE EXPLAINED
Shortly after class, an economics student approaches his economics professor and says, "I don't understand this stimulus bill. Can you explain it to me?" The professor replied, "I don't have any time to explain it at my office, but if you come over to my house on Saturday and help me with my weekend project, I'll be glad to explain it to you." The student agreed. At the agreed-upon time, the student showed up at the professor's house. The professor stated that the weekend project involved his backyard pool. They both went out back to the pool, and the professor handed the student a bucket. Demonstrating with his own bucket, the professor said, "First, go over to the deep end, and fill your bucket with as much water as you can." The student did as he was instructed. The professor then continued, "Follow me over to the shallow end, and then dump all the water from your bucket into it." The student was naturally confused, but did as he was told. The professor then explained they were going to do this many more times, and began walking back to the deep end of the pool. The confused student asked, "Excuse me, but why are we doing this?" The professor matter-of-factly stated that he was trying to make the shallow end much deeper. The student didn't think the economics professor was serious, but figured that he would find out the real story soon enough. However, after the 6th trip between the shallow end and the deep end, the student began to become worried that his economics professor had gone mad. The student finally replied, "All we're doing is wasting valuable time and effort on unproductive pursuits. Even worse, when this process is all over, everything will be at the same level it was before, so all you'll really have accomplished is the appearance of doing something when all we did was the destruction of what could have been truly productive action!" The professor put down his bucket and replied with a smile, "Congratulations. You now understand the stimulus bill." AAAAmerican
BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC. To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.: Our decrease in net worth during 2008 was $11.5 billion, which reduced the per-share book value ofboth our Class A and Class B stock by 9.6%. Over the last 44 years (that is, since present management took over) book value has grown from $19 to $70,530, a rate of 20.3% compounded annually.* The table on the preceding page, recording both the 44-year performance of Berkshire’s book value and the S&P 500 index, shows that 2008 was the worst year for each. The period was devastating as well for corporate and municipal bonds, real estate and commodities. By yearend, investors of all stripes were bloodied and confused, much as if they were small birds that had strayed into a badminton game. As the year progressed, a series of life-threatening problems within many of the world’s great financial institutions was unveiled. This led to a dysfunctional credit market that in important respects soon turned non-functional. The watchword throughout the country became the creed I saw on restaurant walls when I was young: “In God we trust; all others pay cash.” By the fourth quarter, the credit crisis, coupled with tumbling home and stock prices, had produced a paralyzing fear that engulfed the country. A freefall in business activity ensued, accelerating at a pace that I have never before witnessed. The U.S. – and much of the world – became trapped in a vicious negative-feedback cycle. Fear led to business contraction, and that in turn led to even greater fear. This debilitating spiral has spurred our government to take massive action. In poker terms, the Treasury and the Fed have gone “all in.” Economic medicine that was previously meted out by the cupful has recently been dispensed by the barrel. These once-unthinkable dosages will almost certainly bring on unwelcome aftereffects. Their precise nature is anyone’s guess, though one likely consequence is an onslaught of inflation. Moreover, major industries have become dependent on Federal assistance, and they will be followed by cities and states bearing mind-boggling requests. Weaning these entities from the public teat will be a political challenge. They won’t leave willingly. Whatever the downsides may be, strong and immediate action by government was essential last year if the financial system was to avoid a total breakdown. Had that occurred, the consequences for every area of our economy would have been cataclysmic. Like it or not, the inhabitants of Wall Street, Main Street and the various Side Streets of America were all in the same boat. Amid this bad news, however, never forget that our country has faced far worse travails in the past. In the 20 th Century alone, we dealt with two great wars (one of which we initially appeared to be losing); a dozen orso panics and recessions; virulent inflation that led to a 21 1⁄2% prime rate in 1980; and the Great Depression ofthe 1930s, when unemployment ranged between 15% and 25% for many years. America has had no shortage of challenges. Without fail, however, we’ve overcome them. In the face of those obstacles – and many others – the real standard of living for Americans improved nearly seven-fold during the 1900s, while the Dow JonesIndustrials rose from 66 to 11,497. Compare the record of this period with the dozens of centuries during which humans secured only tiny gains, if any, in how they lived. Though the path has not been smooth, our economic system has worked extraordinarily well over time. It has unleashed human potential as no other system has, and it will continue to do so. America’s best days lie ahead. Warren Buffett

Late Wed. House approved $819 billion in stimulus package, without GOP's help...all 176 Republicans and 12 Democrats voted against it, 244-188. wow~
Package includes infrastructure projects aim to create and save jobs, expand unemployment benefits, food stamps and health care, tax cuts and credits on payroll taxes, to spur business investment, hiring and energy efficiency blah blah blah, and this will bump up GDP and so on the goodies. Next stop is Senate next week, which is more bipartisan yet more Republicans may say yea to the big spending, and the size of this stimulus might increase.
Now.....if they screw this one up, there is a saying on the street now: "you can't blame Bush for this one."

Super Bowl XLIII
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Arizona Cardinals
in Tampa, Florida
Play Of the Day--History in Making
18 secconds before halftime, Cardinals at first and goal, Steelers' #92 James Harrison intercepted Cardinals' touchdown pass and ran a 100 yards longest overturn in SuperBowl's history. Flagged(on offense) and after review, Pittsburgh's touchdown counts! Pittsburgh leading 17-7.
Cardinals gave a good fight in the second half, was actually leading 23-20 with 2 1/2 minutes on the clock and 2 timeouts left...but 35 seconds left on the clock, Steelers scored a TD and took the game 27-23.
Both sides showed the true spirit of a football game. Steelers become the only team that holds 6 Super Bowl titles in the history of NFL.
Amazing game, great fight !

BAC at multi-year low on fear of nationalization, AIG went below a buck, companies cutting dividends to preserve cash, biggest job loss since 1974, and then finished the week with the Obama Rally.

Obama signed Stimulus.
Markets retested Nov. 2008 lows, financial issues were in freefall and blood everywhere...pretty much based on the news that everyone already knew. GM is about to fold and with Chrysler are asking for more bailouts, Obama may turn them down and force GM to seek for bankruptcy protection.
Well my guess is, this retest will not sustain.

Dow hits 1997 low
A fine bear run, a bloody monday on Wall St. with new round of heavy sell-offs hammering financial and just about every issue in any sector. Rumor has it that AIG might go belly up and the rest of the bunch looking green (red) on NATIONALIZATION, pretty soon we're gonna be just like CHINA Inc.
Well, should have a nice bounce tomorrow from here.

China Life in talk with AIG for AIA unit, Obama administration's budget layput, Ben said save the banks first and rest of the growth will follow, and the market just went up and down in wild swings in this past few days....
We should resume falling tomorrow.

Fed agreed to convert some of C prefers to commons, that oughtta dilute the crap out of C shrs as investors took it down 39%. GDPon the Q4 2008 contracted 6.2%. Feb. 2009 Dow dropped 11.72% S&P down 10.99% and Nasdaq gave up 6.68%, worst Feb. since 1933. multiple heavyweight financial issues broke ground and prices became literally in free falling.

Rumor has it, AIG is going to ask for more dough from Feds on Monday...
A few phenomenons that I think might happen this year: A self reminder.
Migration of people to states where standards of living are lower; National and regional bank failures(now happening every week, 16 banks so far seized), protests and social unrests in small groups; short term rebound of the financial market especially the banking and insurance sector in the second week of March, Dow touch or break through 6500, S&P 660 Nasdaq 1025; gold at $1200/oz oil $70+/bl; AIG C BAC restructure( a better word for nationalization); Mortgage related financials go CH.11, 30yr fixed mortgage rate to 4.0%, unemployment rate climb to 8.1% and home foreclosures worsening, trade problems if not trade war with China, US bond market going under, massive personal and corporate bankruptcies. Cash is no longer the king, credits and new laws from Gov. come back to save us all, CDS CDO still in focus and the world-wide de-leveraging continues...Finally, FED $ printers ran out of ink.
03.02.2009
March starts with a bang! Dow: 6763 -300 Nasdaq: 1323 -55 S&P: 701 -34 Oil : $39.61 -$0.54 Gold: $940 -$2.50 AIG reported huge losses and to receive more TARP, HSBC to raise $17.7 billion on the market. 03.03.2009
Insurers got fried with credit agencies' downgrades, Dow down slightly at 6726 and S&P below 700 at 696 Nasdaq at 1331,
gold might be going down soon at $913.60, and after 10% drop in crude yesterday, oil remains steady at $41.47.
Rebound tomorrow. Cover shorts and Buy.
03.04.2009
Strong rally, intraday good for 250 pts before closing 150pts up, WFC, BAC, JPM outlook negative at Moody's for possible downgrades...credit agencies should all get shutdown, not only they did not foresee this crisis but they helped to fuel the deterioration. insurance rebounded from lows while chinese issues all strong following Shanghai 6.2% surge.
03.05.2009
Market tanked 300pts+ intraday, closed at lows with financial issues way down, job data should be already baked in, worst in almost 60 yrs.
Rebound starting tomorrow, my guess is 400pts+.

03.12.2009
1.pm BAC ceo said they are making money too, market's going steady so far this morning. DOW up 160pts over 7k and seems like a selective gruop slowing down on profit taking, shorts will come back next Thur or so when the DOW get's over 7500-7700 or so and from there it should break all lows that we made in 03.07-03.10.
The beginning of the third wave, this down trend is not yet over. the pedictions made last year were on the dot but it was made under more optimistic circumstances.
Downside risk is still very much alive, and if one of those big boys goes under, the upbeat sentiments now will get hammered...safe so far but gotta think clearly....specially 03.20.21and the first week in April. it's gonna be a calmer market from here with trading range for March so don't stay long.
Gotta trade.

03.13.2009 Friday the 13th
AM Market worries about dollar strength and comments expressed by China's primier over the safety of US Treasurys. China owns $696 billion of US Treasurys as of Dec.31, 2009 and much of it's nearly $2 trillion foreign reserves are in US dollars. And of course, profit taking.
PM Insurance groups staying strong and banks mixed, get really to short on Thur for pull backs on reality check. short term up trend holding.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke on CBS 60 Minutes talking about the economy, he said recovery on the way around early 2010.
roughly figure markets move 6 months before or so and give it a take, Sept, Oct of 2009 will have another drop and maybe by then with capitulation.
well, i guess he's saying this is another bear trap....Another big news, AIG's giving out $450 mil bonuses to it's employees.

11.28.2008
Black Friday, a sad day for a Wal-Mart employee who got mowed down and killed by a bunch of savages rushing to look for a few bucks of savings. In a time of economical downturn and recession, people not only lose their money and oftentimes their senses on what a basic human being should be.
No decency, no courtesy, no respect, no heart. My fellow Americans, what are we becoming?
If this had happened because of food and hunger then I would understand, yet the true tragedy within was that today a man died in vain because of some greedy holiday shoppers.....
People, get a life.
And on Citigroup:
Guess no one is willing to take any responsibilities on this financial crisis...that's gonna be a problem looking forward.

Buy on the second sound of the trumpet.
From golden parachutes to dollar executives, credit crunch to liquidity traps, federal goverment bailouts to muni bonds,as the de-leveraging process in the global financial market continues and Main Street America is feeling the pinch from deepening recession, things are not looking upbeat as 2008 coming to an end and perhaps, the prelude of the year of "The bad old days". New phrase for today: Capital calls. Financial institutions, pension funds and individual investors are missing payments committed to venture capitals and starting in October are in the risk of defaults. It will take a bigger bubble to save this burst, and we sure are doing and blowing it; print print print(money), drop drop drop(rates), more more more(deficit). China Export and Import Bank (Eximbank) is lending 10 billion yuans to Chery Automobile, how nice, funds for strategic investments overseas?...Big Three bailout package going to Congress on Tue. BOND BUBBLE....holy shit, if this one goes then it's all over. Tue. well they've gotten $15 bil to start with, here comes another wave of bailouts! "That which does not kill us makes us stronger"....really?
I thought you have to kill the Big Three to make them stronger...no?

might be vary on individuals, yet in it's purest form, it will dictate upon one's thoughts and behaviors.
Sometimes the so called "self-correctiveness sense" in one, could not overcome such dictation and belief.

The Great American (Financial)Witch-Hunt of Twenty-First Century
"I'm shocked, shocked, to find gambling here."---- Captain Renault, Casa Blanca
The legendary Alan Greenspan, Former Fed chief testified before the House Oversight Committee today trying
to defend his legacy or to some, blunders. In my opinion, the blames for the downfalls with the current financial
crisis should be commonly shared by not only the financial professionals, but mostly the public in general.
So point the fingers of guilt at yourselves and everywhere, not somewhere.
I mean, no one seemed to complain when things were rosy.
The lesson here is simple: Don't buy anything that you can not afford.
And here is my personal fav line from Casa Blanca:
"Here is looking at you kid."----Rick, Casa Blanca
OK.
Shattered---O.A.R.

such a nice weekend with relaxing breeze.
Got some works done in Houston, everything is right on the dot, simply perfect.
Came home to New Orleans late at night and kissed my lovely children while they were sleeping,
they slept like angels with thundering snores. My precious, daddy is home.
Beautiful weekend to have kids following me around, they are a great help when comes to cleaning up,
lots of fun on doing simple things around the house, washing cars and dipping in the swimming pool,
and nothing's like a home cooked meal after 10 days in Houston. It's great to be home.
Tomorrow kids will have early release from school and we will go ants-hunti ng in our backyard.
Those tiny ants are taking over our backyard!

10.08.2008
11.30am buy. 6% stocks.
Fed dropped rates to 1.5% amid global joint efforts to keep the financial crisis under control, yet they might be running out of options.
Presidential debate taken place in TN last night was boring, and short of concret and effective solutions for the current dilemmas
that we are facing, I was explaning the debate to Mason in details as he had this program for his homework.
From the economy to health care and foreign policies and energy issues, both candidates were talking ideology and the
good old American dreams, both had one clear message to be heard: No Increase in Taxes (and tax cuts of course).....and they are
going to try to fund the budgets through less imports on oil and so on. But understand this, reviving the housing market
and stimulate banks to lend again are the most urgent tasks in my opinion.
How did we get here at first place?
There is a fundamental difference on "We are (the great) Americans and we can do it!" and "We are (the lost) Americans and how are we going to do it?"
Money talks and bullshit walks, I say for now let's buy our way out of this one, so keep them fed stimulus checks and greenbacks printing.
I mean afterall, who cares about the inflation in the economy now?
ps. And to those who think that US is to blame in global financial troubles, look at your own country's stock markets and economy first.
Blaming USA is not going to make your life better nor to change a thing, because in this world, GREED will make money go round and round.
AIG asked for 37.8 bil more from the gov on top of the 85 bil. approved line for 2 years, which 61bil was already been drawn.

9/20/2008 Craftsmanship and Super SundayPainting and repairing house in Houston all week, sort of busy in a fun way.
Dave and Kim are big helps and next week we gonna finish everything off so that the house would look brand new again.
It's self-fulfilling to work on the house I love and my pursue for perfection definitely drove everyone nuts,
we've even repainted the whole garage and touched up every single scratch and nick that we could find in the house.
Premium craftsmanship and utmost demands for detailness made this whole experience an exciting challenge.
Next week I'll have people working on the carpets and marbles countertops and then have my lanscaper redefine my garden.
We afterall, are in the business of Art.

7/29/2008 夏日的吹牛今夜 星空
这个夏天很热, 所以我很不想更新博克.
但是做为一个在网络上的公众人物我对广大的读者还是有责任的.
(谁丢鸡蛋偶跟谁急!)
现在发表我今年夏季的重要讲话:
内部检讨-
基于美国经济受到次贷危机的影响, 世界股市房市的震动, 石油价格高涨, 通膨压力美元疲软及经济紧缩的大前提下,
我不大想干活儿....
所以这段日子里在休斯敦活跃于各个层次的餐饮界, 娱乐界, 以及教育等修身养性的领域. 在伟大的宏观调控机制下进行了对体重的改革.
可是"罗马不是一天造成的", 这个如同北京空气质量的难题并不是我所能轻易控制的. 吃少动多只不过是形式主义.
耐心是一种不可毁灭的力量. 孙逸先先生革命与我此"重大改革"有着异曲同工之处, 他是于大同, 即全国瘦身, 而我于小同, 我与儿子们瘦身.
瘦而精壮乃受女人欢迎也. 我这么的用英文教导我的后代 "THIN AND STRONG GIRLS LIKE IT YEAH."
但是他们只是又拿起了一块沾满奶油的面包. 子不教父之过, 我错了我反省改过, 以身作则.
对外政策-
这些个狗日的消费者们没钱花或不花钱害我生意惨淡. 试问你们还是不是真正的美国人民? KAO美国人怕花钱吗??!
严肃抗议布希政府进行银行改革并建议对房市股市等进行全面救市措施, 尤其对新奥尔良市,
应由联邦及州政府急拨无息免还的贷款于水深火热的画商们. 此外对于劳工阶级可免资助以防国家预算赤字恶化通膨加剧, 因为我们是可敬的资本主义国家. 不公平? 搞清楚我神圣的一票是夹带政治献金的, 表逼老子投民主党.
总结-
今年夏天教导孩子们读书写字打游戏运动玩耍及人生道理. 这个夏天我是个尽责的好父亲.
以上.
5/4/2008 Rosy May今天 晴天无云
Holy crap it's May already....
Time flies when u r having fun,
or else working ur ass off.
Today is the last day for the New Orleans' Jazz Festival,
People for the past two weeks came to Nawlins to celebrate
Or find reasons to indulge themselves with music and alcohol
and whatever that makes them happy or go crazy.
When people come to town and are having fun that's when i work the hardest,
and worked long and hard i have indeed.
Next week will be my playing time, will update more then.
i totally miss my lovely kids.

A SAD DAY IN CHINA AND EVERYWHERE.
SEVERE EARTHQUAKE STRUCK SICHUAN PROVINCE, DEATH TOLL OVER TEN THOUSAND.
GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE IN THE DISASTER AREA.

关于四川地震
这两天看到很多在中文网络上的论坛里有很多人起哄笔伐对灾区赈款的一些人或企业, 很是讶异.
金钱是多是少买不回生命, 各界善心人士量力量心而为. 批判斗争一些公众人物说实话对灾区一点益处也没有.
送些玩具去给那儿可怜的孩子们吧. 很多生还者需要的是医疗照顾和中国政府的妥善安置人生才能重头开始.
现在只能祈望受难人数不要再增加, 伤者脱险痊愈, 每天的奇迹会给于灾民希望, 这也给于救灾者的最大欣慰.

1/27/2008 Dream Maker-- Warrior今天 寒冷
I build this kingdom around thee,
For thou are the queen of my heart;
This castle that stands in majesty,
'Tis the fortress of my Love.
If war were to come upon this land,
The Four Horsemen before this gate,
My youngs and braves shall stand beside,
And we shall eternally defend this land.
Lo help me and make me thy sword.
1/18/2008 OPERATION DEAD CAT今晨 很黑
死猫计划启动.
oh God i am so cool...
我亲爱的朋友与广大的粉丝群们, 关于这个:
今年是KATRINA飓风后的第三年.
这两年多来本座卧薪尝胆战战兢兢的走着每一步棋, 两年多里人生的冷暖深记于心.
我的人生一直走着险棋, 很幸运的, 我每一次的危险或困境都安然渡过, 并由此而成长茁壮.
"死猫计划"是一个伟大的(我说的)冒险计划, 是结合我这十多年来的心血与整合两年前定下的穿山甲计划和鹕鹈计划.
名字虽不好听, 但是这代表着我的个性: 九命猫是不会死的, 就算会死, DEAD CAT WILL BOUNCE!
今年美国经济陷入困境, 面对着种种危机的挑战. 这可能是经济萧条的第一年.
去年十月在HOUSTON家里我看着我幼小孩儿们及日渐老迈的双亲, 秘密的筹备着这个计划.
只许成功不许失败的把一家人的命运全部的结合在这个"死猫计划"里.
这是一个至今我最有魄力的规划和投资, 它将会用尽我全部现有的资源甚至超过我的净值来执行.
我的太太一如往年的很支持着相信着我, 她是我的幸运.
这是在美国一个平凡的小家庭的故事, 家人们与我正奋斗着.
谢谢关注, 这是我开年第一炮.
请热烈鼓掌!!
嗯还有, 快借钱给我吧~

BACK TO WORK!
ps. will be filling in the blanks later.
New Year's holidays were simply wonderful!
i can't wait for xmas~
do it again, do it again!!

This Christmas Eve was a bit unusual.
A certain change of plans by someone sort of disrupted our normal Christmas Eve, but that did not stop our joyful spirits.
We had a wonderful dinner and our Christmas tree was simply breath-taking.
Boys went to bed late and were anxious to open-up their presents in the morning.
The Eve was fine, and everything was perfect.
On Christmas Day boys got up early and gathered under the tree, they were hardly surprised of their presents this year,
the usuals: books, toys, and cash in chinese red envelopes. but only if they knew that I had another surprise hidden in my sleeve.
A big one, sort of.
Dinner on Christmas Day was prepared by mom and Jen. We also invited Kenny and his parents to join us this year.
Nothing compares to Jen's home-cooked Christmas dinner, in a big way, the Texas way. She over cooked as always and we loved it!
Eat, drink, laugh, and be joyful my dear ones, that's what Christmas is all about.
On the 26th when the car dealership was open, I took Jen with me and we bought mom a 2008 S550.
It only took me 15 minutes to negotiate. I am the king of negotiations, sort of.
When I took it home mom was in the kitchen doing something, she still had no idea that her present was parked outside on the driveway.
I gave her the key and she was really surprised and happy. I think I have made this Christmas unforgettable for her.
I have bought 9 new cars as presents to family members in the past five years, and this one is the crown jewel,
Mom deserves the best, and to see her big smiles it's all worth it.
On the 27th I spent the whole day with kids. I love watching them play.
They are more into football games now, so I showed them a few moves that I'd picked up in middle school, they were very impressed.
To them, Daddy knows everything, sort of.
My dear boys, wait until we play tennis, that's daddy's game.
Oh well, on the 28th I had to get back to New Orleans for a few days to attend to business. Nothing fun there, year-ends are usually busy.
Really did not feel like working, but I guess man's gotta do what man's gotta do, shit always happens at work and time flies when you are having fun.
(that's 3 cliches in one sentence.)
So from the 29th to New Year's Eve, Jen and I worked and were looking forward to our New Year's Eve with kids and family in Houston.
This time we had fireworks in mind. We were planning to light up our sky.
New Year's Eve, driving home....light speed.
Got home just in time for he countdown, we also stopped by that wonton shop in China Town. I am totally addicted to that soup now,
it's becoming a tradition every time we head back to Houston, sort of. it's like having chicken noodle soup when one has a cold.
Our boys welcomed us with big hugs and kisses, my good boys.

10/27/2007 女人味偶发现, 其实偶不用想破头花整晚写博克的...用贴的很快很方便..... (转贴) 女人味是一个常见的名词，每天的杂志报纸都会拿这个词反复评论， 每个人也都欣然接受这个名词存在的意义.那么，你有没有想过，你拥有哪一种女人味呢？ 1、你喜欢清晨出外踏青 *******************don't cheat****************** *******************表作弊**********************
A型：一个很酸的女人，并不是指她很爱吃醋，而是说她有时候过于的多愁善感，几乎可以让周围的人们感受到浓烈的酸腐文人气息。毫无疑问，这类女人是聪明的，她们有着无数海底针的心思，也有让别人瞠目结舌的思想，决不是任人摆布，无才有德，对男人唯命是从的所谓贤惠女人。然而，她们身上所拥有的难得的诗情画意，浪漫气质，却是致命吸引，让无数男人拜倒于其石榴裙下。 Ｂ型、甜：在任何词典里，甜总是和幸福挂钩，无论是甜蜜蜜，小甜甜，还是一句窝心的 “ honey ” 。甜味的女人，自然是可爱的，春天随着柳絮的方向欢笑，夏天伴着池塘的涟漪撒娇，秋天对着满山的红叶惊叹，冬天在爱人的臂弯里享受火炉的美妙。有人说甜味女人才是真正的女人，她们继承了女人亘久不变的共性，爱美，虚荣，懦弱，温柔，可爱。也许不全是优点，然而却是对于男人来说可贵的特点， 甜味的女人生来即为女人，便做得彻底，她们对于与男人竞争毫无兴趣，只想努力塑造自己的粉红世界。 Ｃ型、咸：女人就如同生活中的盐，在每道菜里都会多多少少的放一些，然而却承受着十分便宜的价格和最不起眼的名分。这类女人是奢侈品的绝缘体，一般都会仰着一张毫无修饰的脸，素面朝天，朴素的展示着内心的平和。也许男人在多年后的深夜留恋的不会是咸味的女人，也许一见倾心的故事不总在咸味女人的身上上演。 Ｄ型、苦：苦味女人就像莲花，外表清雅靓丽，高贵可人，内心却如莲子般苦不堪言。这类女人并不一定命苦，但却心苦。有些女人命运坎坷，颠沛流离，事事不遂人愿却可以永久的保持着乐观的心态，而苦味女人也许从小养尊处优，甚至荣华富贵，却总也抹不去心中悲伤的一笔。其实，琼瑶笔下的许多女子就是典型的苦味女人，有已知的幸福却不珍惜，有可以预见的苦难却要不顾一切，以至于很多观众对于她们的痴缠都表示不可理解。 Ｅ型、辣：有些人对辣味敬而远之，有些人对辣味浅尝辄止，当然还有些嗜辣如命的拼命三郎。由此看来，辣味女人一定不是大众情人，因为有太多人要对这类女人表示肃然起敬，或者望而远之；而辣味女人也有权利自豪与骄傲，因为也有很多男人弱水三千，只取一瓢饮。这类女人有着与男性一样直接的思维，敏捷的反应，她们不屑男人的审美标准，更对凡事区分性别这些话题嗤之以鼻。你可以在高级的谈判会上遇见她们，也会在高级的服装店与她们邂逅，辣味女人完全秉承了这个时代赋予女人的一切使命，她们与男人在精神上平起平坐，在事业上你争我夺。 Ｆ型、腥 ：腥味女人似乎有与生俱来的诱惑力，一举手，一投足，都充斥了魅惑的气息，即使不是天生丽质，却也魅力四射。于是，在腥味女人的生命历程中，与她们有过故事的男人数不胜数，情感体验的次数就像物质女人衣柜里的衣服一样让人眼花缭乱。她们显然不是传统一族，从一而终，坚贞不二的古训很早就被她们抛之脑后，但是她们又不可能是完全的现代女子，因为腥味女人永远需要的不是自己，而是一个可以依靠的男人。 特别感谢DODO的转贴的转贴. 还有好听的歌儿~
