| unemployed - againso i'm unemployed again. i guess that means more time to update on my xanga. not a lot of people check this anyways. hee hee ... i guess i should one day try to write a note on my fb ... but then i have to tag everybody to read it? that's annoying. old school ... type it all out on good old xanga! lol ... ... so searching for a job is such a journey for me. i'm versatile in almost any industry. there's the good ... which means more jobs that i can apply for ... then there's the bad ... no concentration on a specific are that i can target. **sighs** such is life, eh?? atleast i have a very up to date resume as of last August so i don't have much to update. this time i have more leads so that makes it more promising. but there's always that anxiety of where to work next and when. a need to know when my next pay check will come from. ya know, collecting unemployment isn't forever. i'm collecting max already and it's dwindling fast. arghs ... such frustration!!! everybody's like "think of it as a vacation" ... riiiiiight ... when you go on vacation do you worry about what to buy? no ... bc you know when you return from vacation there's a check waiting for you. so you buy and eat whatever you want! sux to be me ... sux for anybody to be unemployed. i'm a workaholic so therefore i'm more at peace when i'm constantly working and having things to do. so i just uploaded 3 pics on my fb today of exerpts from the new Real Simple magazine. the question proposed was "What is the best thing money can't buy?" ... that's a pretty mind stimulating question. yarrrr ... i think too much. i guess there's only one thing that's been bugging me that i want to get off my chest. when you wrong someone ... time does heal ... but not unless you say something. don't think that time will heal and all else is forgotten without any words exchanges. true i've forgiven a lot of people that didn't deserve to be forgiven, but most of them turned around and atleast said 5 words "I effed up and I'm sorry" ... aiight ... then the past is the past. whatever. what can you do now about the past. nada. just learn from it. i think it's important to yelll ... no ... SCREAM to the world "JUST SAY YOU'RE WRONG ... SORRY!!!" ... and if people don't forgive you ... you did what was right. they were just big babies and want to hold onto the grudge forever. let them be. werd? anybody feel me on that? okies ... and if you think that you've been wronged ... don't just let it go! suck it up and say "yo, it ain't like that." and clear the air! werd?!?! yahhhh ... okies. i'm ready for some bedtime. more updates to come for da heck of it. hahahaha

NY straight 16hr flight to HK ... 3.5hr bus to Guangzhou ... stayed 4 days ... 3.5hr bus back to HK ... 1.5hr flight to Taiwan. Then 3 days in taipei ... 1.5hrs flight to HK ... 1 hour layover ... then another 15 hrs back to NY. **phew** That was a lot of flying.

Craziness, huh?? so who's still on xanga nowadays?? lol ... hmmm ... blah blah blah ... busy at work. need to keep on going ... need to get out of hibernations. Spring's coming around the corner ... time to go out and enjoy life!! werrrrd!! | | |
| working working workingSo I have a job now ... it's in the renewable energy area. Super kool ...yet kinda scary how much I don't know. But I'm being thrown into it, so I'm basically being forced to learn it. That's a good thing! I haven't been on this thing for awhile. FB has been my easy life. No need to type about how my day's going. LOL Just one line "Shirley Chen is ..." Dang that was way too easy. LOL ... anywho ... i need to back up my phone and switch to the BB Bold. WOOHOOO!! Can't wait!!

| xanga fileswerd ... i've been on this xanga thing for a looooong ass time!! i just decided to unblock some ppl on my xanga. found it in the x-files. hahahaha ... i went to block those survey things and found out ppl back in the day that i had blocked. move the hell on. who cares anymore? quite frankly i think that back in the day ... i cared too much. i cared how people looked at me, perceived me, thought of me ... it distorted who i really am. now ... i am who i am. i am who God made me to be. there's no escaping it ... so if ya don't like me or don't wanna talk to me ... i'm not going to care anymore. i used to fear losing friends ... PSHHH! as if i can't get anymore friends!! ... i used to say to my friends that bfs and gfs come and go ... but i'm always here. you know what? let me rephrase that. bfs and gfs come and go, i'll always be here if you treat me the same i treat you. yep yep. kinda harsh, huh? ... well ... the truth is harsh! anywho ... just got back from vacation this past Tuesday. My Yummy took me to a surprise trip to Aruba. I haven't gotten a chance to post up pics on facebook yet. kekeke ... it was our 1 year anniversary. quite pleasant ... super relaxing. One whole year ... it really makes you think. ya know?  ... okies ... i'm done updating. i need to get back on this xanga thing more often. puaaahaha ... OH YEAHH!! First day Yummy came with me to church today. It went pretty well! Phoebe's church is more open ... mixed crowd ... not very pushy. yep yep ... alrighty ... back to searching for a job. *sighs* sux that i'm in the mix with the rest of the unemployment world of NY ... but exciting to see what God has planned for me down the path. so i have time to chill ... call me ppls! buh biiiii

| unemploymentSo i'm still unemployed ... it seemed like yesterday that i was working. *sighs* I read somewhere online that being unemployed could be one of the most catastrophic event in one's life. I can see that ... i feel abandoned from my old company after so many year. After sending out my resumes I've only had 1 interview and it was because of mistaken identity. It seems like i'll be unemployed forever. But on the other hand ... if i take a pay cut ... perhaps i'll find a job. Which is what i've decided to do today. Anything right now is better than unemployment. Goodness i can feel my brain rotting!! grrrrr ... okies ... that's it for now. Back to sending out my resumes.
