Orlando Gas Prices

Its always been known that gas prices in Orlando has always been cheaper, at least when compared to my hometown-Daytona Beach. So one day, I asked myself why is that? I looked into it and found several theories, but no concrete evidence support any of it. I will only list two theories. [...]

Learning how to play the noob way

Stairway to Heaven-Missing you
I don’t remember notes, note-reading and such. except of course the very basic cdefg. But not even the way to remember it or anything so. I’m trying to learn how to play a piano song by remember finger placement only. I’ll get back to you in six months on [...]

Je ne comprend pas

I’m gradually absorbing more and more French culture into my life.  Still have a long way till I really understand the language when spoken.  French class memories in highschool sometimes kick in–like avec or plus.  But then i forgot what achete means, although it sounds soooo familiar.  Music is the easiest [...]

Another thing…

Before I leave, I have to mention top down vs bottom up approach.  Top down being a the typical French approach.  Since I will be going to Paris in early Spring, I felt I should mention that.  You can get an idea of what it is if you know what trickle down economics is.  It [...]

Global Financial Summit-2008

I woke up amazingly early today, probably from hunger pangs.  So I went downstairs to grab a toast, my earl grey, and a tangerine.  Then flipped on the tv and paused at C-Span.  I don’t usually watch this channel cause it mostly covers the U.S. supreme court, which is quite boring well at least to [...]

Cold Celsius

The temperature changes slightly and I’m already sniffling. When taking a shower, I could feel the cold air around me–so I would try to get in the warm water as much as possible. But I remember how it was sooo cold back then getting out of the shower when the heater was off. [...]

Waking up

Every morning when I wake up, I would always have a song in my head, and today was no exception. I heard John Lennon’s Merry Christmas (war is over) song. Although it isn’t even December or even November yet, I feel that winter is coming. Even in South Florida, the nights and [...]

Talking to Myself

The title comes from an album that features a quasi chinese music. It barely resembles any of the old classical chinese music that can be is often heard-using instruments such as the pipa or guzheng. Anyways, lately I think I have come to learn more new things about myself. What makes me [...]
