Rejection

I finally found out today: I didn’t get the job. So, I applied for this position at the same company about couple of weeks ago, and I've been prayed all days hoping that I would get it, and I didn’t. And, I really don’t know how I feel now, cause I've built all my hopes and my exception until this afternoon, and the more expectation that you have, the bigger risk of disappointment that you will get. But, somehow I knew it was going to be like this, I don’t have a perfect life, and if I've gotten the job, that would make my life perfect.
And my good friend at work was the one who got it, and though I am happy for her, I cant deny that I am very jealous, for she has the opportunity to move forward while I am still stuck....

Perhaps, I was over-confident. Gosh! I don’t know....I really blew it up....don't want to think about anything now...All I want to do is just shut the world around me, and let me recover underneath my shell.

Story from Acapulco

I posted some pics already, but without any story :)

I was flying there on Wed night - almost midnight, Feb 14. So it was like celebrated my Valentine's day with my girlfriends on the plane, three sum anyone? Arrived in Acapulco on Thursday morning. Checked-in our room, had lunch.....then get set for our first adventure: snorkeling. It was really fun! Love the weather, love the beach....and people were very friendly - perhaps because we always said greetings first in Spanish, plus my friend kept asking everybody's name. Man! I realized how bad my Spanish now, I should had practice my Spanish before I left.

Friday, we went to downtown - El Centro - and did some shopping for souvenirs. Went back to the Boca Chica Hotel and just laying down under the sun by the pool...what a perfect life. I went with Dinnah that night to the club, just to find put that the crowd were only some boys...really-really young, I bet they're only in early 20's.

Saturday, it's the day when I abused my body. First we rode the wave rider for 2 freaking hours! But it was hella fun! We went to the whole Acapulco bay, and went really close to the open sea. My butt was hurt badly after the riding. We closed the day by, again, swimming and tanning program, and my mistake, I didn’t put any sun block after the wave rider program, so by the end of the day I got serious sunburn. Huh! And I always told everyone, I don’t get sunburn: sunburn only for white people, not for asian. Well, I was wrong. When I told him about this, he was laughing and said: well, maybe the rule had changed for asian people who've been lived in SF for too long and don’t get the sun anymore. Sigh...my shoulder and my legs were totally hurt....I am ok now, but now I am feeling like a snake because my skin started to peel. Ouch!
later that night, we went to the club again, this time Jane was coming with us. And again, the crowd were totally freakish young boys...perhaps, 18?? Oh man! We were just laughing when we danced with them, felt like hanging out some kids. Got back to the hotel around 3am, and we just kept laughing and wandering, we met some old guys who were staying at the same hotel, really old, like...hm...50's? and we met this kids at the clubs, so where's the heck our guys??

Sunday, church time. But had no clue at all about the mass cause it was in Spanish, and seriously, our Spanish is not that amazing to understand the mass. But pretty much everything was the same with the regular mass we have here in US.
Not doing anything after Church....just did some souvenir shopping again, relax and had our last dinner.

Monday. That was it. Time to fly back home, our vacation had ended. And next time, got to remember to take direct flight on your way back home, cause we were really wasting our time by stopping by twice in Mexico City and Phoenix, AZ. And the stupid America West lost my luggage and Dinnah's. Though we got it delivered the next day and nothing was missing, it was not a good way for a closure after having so much fun.

.....Now here I am, back to the cold weather...gonna be 4 more months before I am going again for my next trip. Until then, I just have to manage to keep myself dry and warm. Plus, I am really happy to see him again....

"Nine Million Bicycles"




There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die.

We are twelve billion light years from the edge,
That's a guess,
No-one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you.

I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar,
Just believe everything that I say

There are six BILLION people in the world
More or less
and it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all

We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire,
Of the love that you give me every night

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a Fact,
it's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die!
