My Life in A Nutshell

Last year was a crazy year that ended with the last quarter with 10X more crazy work. It ended well and we were proud!

I just got the misfit package that AJ sent to me by Misfit, Inc.

AJ told me that he’d be giving me an iPad2 within last year, and wow, he did! :D

Here is the overall package that won’t even fit in a camera shot! :D I haven’t received this so much awesome stuff before, and Misfit, Inc. just did that.

Thank you Misfit, Inc.! Me Gusta!!

So, here’s the breakdown:

2 Phones (HTC Dream [T-mobile G1] and a Google Nexus One)

2 Books (Romeo and Juliet, and Othello - straight from Stratfor upon Avon - Shakespeare’s birthplace)

A pair of apperian shoes - a customized converse shoes (Apperian only gave these to the first 50 employees, and yes I am quite lucky that I got a pair :P )

A Domo Shirt!!! :D Thank you AJ, Melissa, Misfit, Inc.! :D

A freshbooks prefessional shirt (This is so much my favorite that I reserve wearing this on the days I gusta)

Box.net’s No Sharepoint Shirt (There were so much stuff that I forgot to take a picture of this)

A Kodak Zx3 waterproof Playsport Camera

A Manhattan Portage bag and Pouch

The last but but not the least, the iPad2 (it’s got my name on it - me gusta)!

I could never express myself clearly to anybody, but there is one part of literature that I value a lot for explaining a lot of human feelings to the world. What’s there more to explain when you’ve got Shakespeare’s literature to explain what you really feel.

Today is Shakespeare’s Birthday. I celebrate his life, time, and works through sharing with you what, where, and how I’ve experience Shakespeare in my life. We are having a huge event in honor of Shakespeare in Happy Birthday Shakespeare.

While I was in high school, hearing about Shakespeare gave me all the intimidation I needed to fear learning his literature. As a person who really has quite a little to say to anyone, this certainly made me walk away from it. When we started our lessons in Shakespeare, there was this one teacher who inspired me to learn and understand the writings; how to feel, move, say and act it.

During the classroom times, our teacher Ralph Cicero, enthusiastically speaks several lines of Shakespeare’s plays, sonnets and books to the class. What interested me the most is how my teacher portrayed the feelings passed through the writings. One piece that you can feel the feelings from Shakespeare’s literature is through the Sonnets.

Although sonnet line “Shall I compare thee to a Summer’s day?” has been used so many times, but it literally explains quite a lot of your feelings to someone whom you admire, love or like. How else can you look for something to describe how you feel but through that line?

How can you express anger and vengeance but through Shakespeare’s Macbeth? A line from Macbeth would be “Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.” Anger is greatly portrayed on such story that the imagery used alone explains all how vengeance is horrid and at the same time amazingly clear in Macbeth.

Having all these to say, it’s inspiring to think that you’ve got Shakespeare’s literature to back you up. Having remembered all these, I couldn’t have learned all about Shakespeare without my enthusiastic teacher and the ever so intriguing lines from Shakespeare.

Now, I am in a company who is really enthusiastic and crazy about Shakespeare that we incorporate him into our works. Shakespeare, I salute you! Happy Birthday!! :)

This is the first update on The LaC Project’s Christmas Chiffon Cakes. I was able to update this much only due to the high demand of the cakes and we’re all very busy.

Here are the Chiffon Cakes that my mom has been baking this Christmas. They’re all delicious and home made. We’ve got a lot of competitors but most people buy our cakes! :)

A day before, our mom has already been hard at work trying to bake the awesome Chiffon Cakes that we’ve been traditionally been doing for more than 5 years now. These cakes are so awesome that a lot of people pre-order the cakes. Due to the low price plus awesome taste of the cakes, these go and run out so fast. Basically, we sell these cakes just enough to minimally provide a party for the whole family and relatives.

When AJ and I have been working together with The LaC Project, he came up with the idea of giving out Cakes when he knew that we bake cakes during Christmas and in the New Year. We decided to give cakes to whoever has nothing to eat during Christmas. It’s really hard to think that we celebrate Christmas knowing that there are some people out there who have nothing to eat or celebrate Christmas when you are hungry. How can someone celebrate when hungry?

Now, Jerome (The LaC Project’s Director of Happyness) and I have been working to compile this documentation in hopes that a lot of us would do the same. Don’t you think it’s good to receive gifts and a lot have been hungry during Christmas?

Here are the remaining eggs we need to bake more cakes. That’s still quite a lot of eggs! :)

To continue, we found a blind old lady by the sidewalk left all alone. We wondered why nobody even bothered to give her anything, so we gave her a cake! :)

We found another blind person accompanied with his daughter.
