The Devil is in the Details

I learning something in college called ‘instant gratification’.  At the time it was used to explain why Filipinos were not in politics here in the States.  It’s because of this need for instant gratification.  We want it now.  I’ll sign what ever it is so I can get what I want now.  Now, now, now!

State of the Economy

On my way home last night I caught the last 20 minutes of President Obama’s speech on the radio.  I was moved by his speech and delighted with the positive reactions from the attendees.  It was a speech that was motivating and full of hope.   I have never felt so proud to be an American.

Oscar 2009 Preview

2009 has been a blur to me so far.  I have only seen 2 or 3 of the movies that were nominated for Oscars this year.  I’m normally on top of my movie list.  I guess I have to slow down my Netflix rentals and get out more often.  There are some pretty good hype [...]

I decided [...]

State Layoffs To Hit 20,000

This Valentine’s we decided to check out Gary Paragary’s new restaurant in downtown Sacramento called, Cosmo Cafe.  It’s right off of 10th St and K.  It’s walking distance from the State Capitol and centrally located from everything else in downtown.

Speak!

Based on different stories my Mom and Grandma (Lola) have told me, I didn’t speak until I was 2-3 years old.  Why?  Who knows.  Unfortunately, I didn’t bother to ask and now it’s too late.  Being a late bloomer effected me in my teen and adult years.
