Happy new year!! Good Times!

It’s almost a new year, just 4 hours to go. I am not doing anything special. I am home alone and relaxing. I shall make coffee and watch TV. 

To celebrate the new year, I ordered a pair of Italian boots from England. 🙂

Please stay healthy. God bless you.

Christmas Moment

I contacted my friend Friday (Dec 22nd) and convinced her to come out after work for a “Christmas experience”. Both she and I get off work late. We were tired, but I told her she will look back and cherish the moment – that we must force ourselves to create some kind of Christmas moment before it’s gone.

The entire night I played my favorite Christmas music in my car. I picked her up at her work and went for a quick bite. And we went to a coffee shop and enjoyed holiday flavored coffee.

Then we walked around the shopping center and took some pictures. I struck a silly pose in front of a big Christmas tree. Then we realized that my belly was exposed in the picture. We had a big laugh. We kept looking at that picture and kept laughing.

We took a detour back to her work and looked at houses with Christmas decorations. I took her back to work in three hours.

4 days later, I cherish that magic moment.

This is an Apple commercial – artistically done. But… Oh, God.

If she pulls that out from her ear hole and puts it in my ear hole… I will puke. I don’t even use the same Q-Tip for both left and right sides of my ear. It’s gross.

I was working… then I had a sudden craving for some snacks. I have cookies at my desk, but I wanted to see what else was out there. This is what I saw.

Merry Christmas.

Hate calling cable company for discount

It is common knowledge that we should call our cable company periodically and ask for a better price. With today’s technology, many people cut ties with cable providers. So, when you call them, they must try to make you happy.

When I first sign up for Verizon FIOS, I was paying $130 a month for cable, internet, & phone service. After several years, my monthly bill is now $169/m.

I knew I should call them and ask for a better price, but I hate calling the cable companies. So, I’ve been putting it off for a few years. I am pretty sure that cable companies know we hate calling them.

Today I finally called them. Now it’s Frontier FIOS. And they gave me a $25/m discount just like that. That’s $300 extra annual income for me.

So… I lost $1000+ last several years because I was not on top of this game… because I hate calling my cable company.

I am the only person to blame for this. I need to be more proactive. I feel stupid. I will not let this happen again.

I have a mild concussion.

Update:

The doctor thinks I have a mild concussion. The x-ray showed a minor neck injury (not too bad). But my problem is the headache that will not go away (nausea & dizziness).

He prescribed me physical therapy. And wants me to check with him in 10 days. We are guessing I will be better by then, or else… (bigger issue)

The doctor didn’t seem worried. He thinks I will be OK. Now I know there isn’t anything horribly wrong with me. For now, I still have a headache.

I am OK. I can still enjoy everyday life.  🙂

Merry Christmas. Happy holidays.

OMG, I’m a yuppy.

After the accident, I had to buy a car ASAP. So, I bought what I thought was the most boring & economical car. I wanted my car to blend in with the rest. It also had to be garage sale friendly. So, I bought a Prius station wagon – a used one, of course.

I felt depressed and alone after the accident. So, I bought some Christmas gifts for myself to cheer me up. I bought a leather briefcase from Coach and a designer wallet from England (Italian leather). They were on sale.

I texted my friend about what I bought. Then my friend pointed out that I was a yuppy.

PS. I still have a headache. I have a dizzy spell as well. I am going to see a doctor tomorrow morning. I will update you.
