Columbus Day or Native American Day

Why do we even have Columbus Day?! Columbus and his cronies were murderers in every way possible....
He did not discover American; he invaded it w/ his European sailors. He brought disease to the New World like scurvy. When he and his fellow sailors tried to bring back the Indians back to Europe, he ended up killing them. When he got to the New World, he killed the Indians by chopping their hands off and scalping their hair off their heads.

Oracle Mtg

There was an Oracle Global Marketing mtg down at Meteron. I saw most of the people that went up to the mtg. were mostly white male and a few women-I realized even though it's the 21st century,  it's still a male-dominated world. The glass ceiling hasn't been broken yet, though there are cracks to the class ceiling. We women have made many advancements:Hilary Clinton is Secretary of State. We women'll shatter the glass ceiling someday! We shall overcome any adversity! As the song goes, someday things will get better, someday things will get brighter.

Rich vs. Poor

From a certain show I watch, the rich folks are mostly white folks who think they can push around the poor folks. They think they're above the law, that they can get away with anything because of their name. It isn't right. They shouldn't be allowed to push the lower class around just 'cause they came from money. They shouldn't push the lower class, who are depicted as Latinos and African Americans, around just 'cause they're from the upper class, who are depicted as white class.

Courage

Ever since I got back from my vacay, I've been such a fradey cat. I guess I like being sheltered and taken care of by my parental units these past coupla of weeks. I know I should have more courage, be more courageous, but I can't help it. I like being taken care of. I guess cuz I'm the baby of the family (my immediate family, that is). I like depending on my mom n' dad. I like leaning on others for help, literally. I'm scared of heights and other minor things like other loud, crazy thing. The least things just startle me like people talking loudly or I am afraid that a bowl will come crashing down on me when I'm trying to take it down from the cupboard.
/For once, I wish I was more courageous. Sure, I'm courageous enough to watch a slasher flick, but that's just entertainment... I want to be more courageous in life.

CAC-Client Advisory Committee

Maybe I'm just tired from my cold...
But I don't see any point in the CAC anymore.
We're not making any difference in the lives of our peers.
We're not making any changes in their lives.
What's the point in the CAC?
Meetings, meetings, meetings run amok!
Yes, more meetings
Til I died...
All words and no actions
C'mon, do something
Make a difference!
Or else I'm gonna bail!

Joy of Buns

Due to unforseen circumstances, my microenterprise is opening later than expected. The name has changed less whimisical than Chinese Curiosity Box to Joy of Buns. I thought it was supposed to opened this Friday, y'know, guys, right after my vacation? But we have to work on this and that kink. To s-m-o-o-t-h it out. But, man, I already emailed my friends about the business being opened this Friday. But I did emailed them and put it on Facebook about the change, so it's no prob.
Life is sort of like a small biz world-you never know what's problems you might find along tbe way, and if there are problems, you just gotta deal. That's life.
Life is lesson learned and a lesson taught-all the way thru and thru.

Back to the Daily Grind...

Hi y'all! I"m back! And I'm rearing to go back to the daily grind that is work, school, etc. despite this awful cold I got over there. If you wanna know what kind of fun (or not!) I had over in China, you best read, my personal journal 'cuz I'm not gonna rewrite everything over again.
I missed being aroung hi-tech gadgets though. I felt stranded like I was on some sort of island, not on vacation. But I guess that's what vacation is all about: to be cut off from others while having fun. The main point of a vacation is to have fun. Fun in the humid weather that is China. Despite the long lines (somewhat like Disneyland) at the World Expo, it was kinda of fun to go to see the different countries pavilion and how they represented their countries. Cool! (Although the weather as I said before wasn't cool, it was humid...)
