Vietnamese in Vietnam drinks a lot of beer and almost daily

I thought in Germany is where people drinks beer after work daily, but in Vietnam it’s even worst, whether you’re a professional or average person trying to earn a living to the poor and the richest, they all love drinks and chit chat at the end of the day of hard work, I guess to release the stress. The bad side of this is, yes, they have lots of fun, but what about the beer and alcohol, what does that do their body, well they probably know but doesn’t care, because the fun they have is better than caring for the future of their health, it’s like making $10 and spending all $10 for fun now than saving the $10 for the future but cannot have as much fun. I’m ok with drinking during big party, celebration, but not daily after work or sometime even at work. In Vietnam it’s a little bit different, some company even have beer onsite lol. They drink beer replacing water lol. Yes I had tons of fun with Vietnamese friends while I was back there, but doing it daily I don’t think is a good idea, I drink because it necessary to kills all the germs or food posioning if any, after drinking a few beer your blood temperature rise and I can feel it, that’s where all the germs and any poision from the food will died hahahah. The really bad side about drinking beer too much are, even woman join the fun, here in the US it’s less since we really understood the effect alcohol have – some people got drunk and do stupid things, beat up their wife and children, cause car fatality accident and so on.

A devil or evil spirit lurking around you while you’re sleeping? pinching you down and you cannot wake up or move?

It call “Sleep paralysis”. Although you can feel like you can open your eye and see things around you but whether it’s real surrounding or not just your imagination, don’t know, but normally it’s black figure and if you watch enough scary movie that have a devil or evil spirit, or read or hear haunted ghost story, chances are your head will fill with these figures when you encounter “Sleep paralysis” It can last few secs. to an hour or some rare cases hours. It can be very scary and effect your quality of life, it can happen day or night, to anyone, even taking a quick nap. Someone people would say it’s a dream within a dream where you cannot move because you’re inside your dream, your body is paralyzed. Sometime you feel like a ghost or devil evil spirit spin you around and feel your bed move or pinch you down you can feel your bed move or bounce, but guess it’s all in your head 🙂 it call sleeping paralysis, it impact many people, including me. Younger age I encounter while sleeping I kept on falling and falling never reach the ground, just kept on falling. Then later in life first stage of sleeping I normally encountered a devil pinching me down and I can’t move, all I can hear is ghostly sound, and I’m not sure if my eye was open but I can see a few devils evil spirit surrounding me, but I fought and 100% of the time I won. Sometime I feel the cause was by working too hard thinking too hard and so on. Now a day, I rarely encounter those anymore, even after watching haunted house documentry or scary movies. It’s not too bad, different people have different ways of preventing it, in very very very rare cases that people died from it, but it does happen, where a person could not woke up, it’s old people up the mountain in vietnam h’mong people elder died from these illness a lot.  More information about this see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis

how to be a billionaire with $5000 sara blakely spanx

Just in case you’re wondering, can a typical person turn $5,000 to $5 billion dollars? and I’m not talking about selling drugs, rob a bank or hire someone to rob someone or kill someone and after getting them to put your name down as the receipient to their life insurance after they died. I’m talking about hard working people like us, not people whom sit around and watch the world goes by or winning a lottery, or watching tv or facebook chatting. This woman name is Sara Blakely, she did it by herself, she did not inherit any money from anyone, she basically saved up years of saving just $5000 and start investing on new products and her product is the SPANX. What SPANX? well she invented that through hard working during her days as a door to door sales woman, selling fax machine and so on, as she walk around and she noticed the opportunity and she did it 🙂 not, it’s a longer more detail story than that, check it on wiki for Sara Blakely http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Blakely

Really warm weather today and it’s not even spring yet

warm winter days before spring time 70 degree east coast march 2012
warm winter days before spring time 70 degree east coast march 2012

What’s wrong with the weather this year? 12/21/2012 coming? We didn’t get much snow in the East Coast this winter and spring is in the air. Not even spring yet March 8th 2012 and the weather got up to 70s today. I wonder what summer will be like, and water cost a lot of money combination with the sewer and what if not much rain and just heat. I’m still aiming for the homemade rain collectors, I have the feeling this summer will be hot and not much rain, we’re probably on shortage of water because of no snow. By the way, watch out for the Sun Solar Blast flare happening now and for the next couple few days, it does last a long time.

Vietnamese women ladies girls day is today March 8 2012

vietnam vietnamese women's day ladies girls march 2012
vietnam vietnamese women's day ladies girls march 2012

Well if you’re Vietnamese and especially the ladies including women girls, you would probably know today is the special day for you, the men suppose to treat you with highest respect as possible 🙂 whether that will happen or not, don’t know, but out on the street you better treat them with respect in Vietnam, because on looker will be watching you and you pick on your wife chances are you will get stoned to death lol no just kidding. Vietnam vietnamese women’s day is similar to Valentine day in USA, except women get treated special such as getting flowers massage anything they want from their husband, boy friend, grandpa, dad and so on. Married woman, mommy, grandma, great grandma, most will probably get a day off doing nothing but sleep watching tv, relax, get flowers, massage, get good food, and so on. Young Vietnam vietnamese women ladies unmarried, probably get treated from their b/f lovers or whoever crushed on them will probably get tons of flowers treats and asking out dinner and gifts. Little girl such as students in high school and below will probably be treated same as the older unmarried young women. Bottom line, I’m surprise that Vietnam have this day reserved, because in Vietnam the culture had been, the wife work and most errands around the house and get very little respect from the husband, most even get yelled at and beat up slap up side down, and some even became a slave and even worst sex slave, just awful. However there are small volume of Vietnamese women in Vietnam succeeded, off course the one that is well educated and had been trained at a young age smart enough not to let anyone pick on them, in fact some women even fought back physically and mentally. So be respectful to one another, give Vietnamese women a break today not just in Vietnam but everywhere else in the world. By the way in Vietnamese, we call it “ngay phu nu” http://tv.tuoitre.vn/tin/1518/mot-lang-co-400-phu-nu-lam-chu-gia-dinh

HSN good or bad on electronics and technology items like the TC970 Le Pan 9.7″ LCD

hsn pros and cons be careful do your research
hsn pros and cons be careful do your research

I just flip through the tv channels and came across HSN today selling this item the “HSN good or bad on electronics and technology items like the TC970 Le Pan 9.7″ LCD” the advertisement is too good to be true, the price too good to be true. Is it true? Well that’s why HSN have a customer reviews added on their website, so watch it on tv, then go on the internet and search for that device pricing and reviews, just google search it, then read the reviews from various well known trusted websites such as amazon, neweggs, ebay, ect … especially on technology items. HSN hired very good people to do their informercial, they always talks about the good stuff about the items but never any bad stuff about it, so watch out. The positive things about HSN is that they have flex payments such as 6 mos or so split without any interest charge, and also easy return within period of time such as 30 days. Although it will be waste of time if you buy then found out it’s not what you have expected and would have to go through the return process.

Birds are good at finding worms in my frontyard

early spring birds finding worms meal in my front yard 2012

Lately as the weather get warmer, as the sun-shine shine brighter, I can see the birds on a daily basis hopping around on the grass in front of my frontyard finding earthworms coming up from the ground. First it’s amazing the worms were able to survived the cold freezing winter underground. Second, the bird either smart or have instinct or good eye site catching these worms coming up from the ground. I was actually able to film some scene where the bird actually pulled the worm off out of the ground and eat it. Not just one bird but a lot of birds. I’m behind the glass windows and it doesn’t look like the bird notice probably due to outside reflection. However the birds seems to be cautious at all time, like multi-tasking. Weather indeed getting nicer, I was able to walk around the yard with short and t-shirt, feel to sun shine and outside air.

The rich getting richer a record 1,226 billionaires made the list from all over the world for 2012 published on March

world billionaire 2012 and no vietnamese lol
world billionaire 2012 and no vietnamese lol

This just released from the news. The world top billionaires. “Mexico’s Carlos Slim Helú remains the world’s richest man, according to the annual list assembled by Forbes. The world also minted 128 new billionaires since last year.” “Forbes’s first annual list of the world’s billionaires, published a quarter-century ago, had 140 names. This year, a record 1,226 billionaires made the list, with a combined net worth of $4.6 trillion, also a record and up from $4.5 trillion in 2011.” “Innovation, strong consumer brands and a rebounding U.S. stock market helped produce 128 newcomers to this year’s list and brought 17 former members back into the billionaire ranks. Falling stock markets, particularly in China and Russia, were mainly responsible for knocking out 117 individuals. In addition, 12 members from the 2011 list passed away, including buyout titan Theodore Forstmann and Apple’s (AAPL) Steve Jobs, whose widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, takes his spot on the 2012 list. Overall, 460 billionaires got richer, 441 got poorer and 180 held steady.” Why can I be in their spot? well beats me I don’t know, because I’m not smart enough? because I’m not greedy enough? because I’m not lucky as them? well it’s the combination of all the above. I know Bill Gate does work hard and he did at the right place at the right time, so does Michael Dell, and Mark Z. facebook. These people are school drop out, they don’t have no high college degree, well this doesn’t mean that you should stop going to school, the chances of you getting a good paying job is a degree, or you can try to be like Bill gate by being an entrepreneur, good luck with that, the successful rate on that is like 1% lol. Oh well, I’m ok of there I am now but would I want to be rich like them, probably not :). See this news link: http://money.msn.com/investing/the-worlds-top-billionaires-2012
