Photo Hunt "Reflection"

I really love the reflection of the lights in the water. Ah, the singing fountain of Bellagio Hotel, Las Vegas. Photo was taken last July 4th. Happy photo hunting everyone:)

I'm Happy it's Friday!

Thank God, it’s Friday! It’s been a long week for me, having to wake up early. B is in Chicago for big meetings and my husband had been so busy for his new product. I felt bad for my friends; I was not able to go out for lunch date. I missed their birthdays. Well, I can make it up next week.

I have been taking our dog, Jake to the new office. He’s kind of scary-looking for the mailman. The other guy, who looked Japanese, was terrified a little bit of him. The next day, he was kind of talking to him and he was smiling. Today, I’m just so bummed of the lady, I think she’s Persian. She definitely was scared of him and was shouting at me to lock the door when she arrives next time. What a b-ssy little, fella, lol! I don’t blame her though. I was frantically scared of Jake the first time I saw him. Oh well, the UPS and FedEx guys are not scared of him at all. They just go right inside the door and Jake will just keep jumping at them and give some lovin’ lick, hahaha! He’s kind of slobbery but they don’t seem to care.

Okay, enough of that. I'll just go and list our old telephones on my eBay store and make some money, lol! Happy weekend!

Living and Sharing

The Gospel last Sunday was really nice. It’s all about a story of 3 servants who were given equal talents by their Master before he takes off. When he came back, 2 servants had doubled the talents the Master had given while the last one just gave the Master back the original talent. Out of fear, he just buried it while the other two had generously shared it to others and doubled in return. It was really fascinating parable.

I always believed we are all created uniquely to function in this world. We all have to participate in the celebration called Life. Our days will be measured on what we built, what we have given and not on what we got.

As what Thomas Merton said on his book “Choosing to Love the World”:
Only when we see ourselves in our true human context, as members of a race which is intended to be one organism and "one body," will we begin to understand the positive importance not only of the successes but of the failures and accidents in our lives. My successes are not my own. The way to them was prepared by others. The fruit of my labors is not my own: for I am preparing the way for the achievements of another. Nor are my failures my own. They may spring from the failure of another, but they are also compensated for by another's achievement. Therefore the meaning of my life is not to be looked for merely in the sum total of my achievements. It is seen only in the complete integration of my achievements and failures with the achievements and failures of my own generation, and society, and time. It is seen, above all, in my own integration in Christ.

Obamanomics- A Case Study

The one of the many ways that the election of Barack Obama as president has echoed that of John F. Kennedy is his use of a fresh and innovative medium that will forever revolutionize politics. For Mr. Kennedy, it was television and for President-elect, Obama- it is the Internet.
According to Yovia’s "Obamanomics, A Study in Social Velocity”:
Barack Obama was not the first presidential candidate to tap into the Facebook phenomena. That honor belongs to Stephen Colbert, host of the satiric news hour, The Colbert Report. Of course it was a joke, but it was fun. The group grew like online wildfire for several days, at more than 10 supporters per second, with little to no outside prodding. Even Colbert was surprised by the power of his fan base and the speed of the movement’s growth. There was a point where he joked about what would happen if he actually got on the ticket. Later in the “campaign” Colbert (who claimed he “didn’t want to BE president, he just wanted to RUN for president”) began promoting the cause on his TV show, which continued to fuel the fire. What started as a joke on Facebook became a movement that almost put a comedian onto a presidential ticket.

More than a year later, the serious political campaigns of John McCain and Barack Obama began taking shape. Both campaigns were historic in their use of the Internet and community organizers. The Obama campaign, however, like the Colbert-for-President movement—started to take on a life of its own, particularly in the final weeks. The Obama campaign gathered steam and became a worldwide phenomenon, culminating in a landslide victory against war-hero and experienced statesman John McCain.

Obviously, the Obama campaign changed the Internet scene. It gave a real use to bloggers and supporters everywhere. A very interesting fact. Check out here to read more of the FREE report.
