You Are The Apple Of My Eye ( HD 720P ) - FULL MOVIE - 那些年, 我們一起追的女孩

那些年, 我們一起追的女孩


青春是一場大雨。即使感冒了,還盼望回頭再淋它一次。任誰都曾有過的年少輕狂,那個班上每個男生都暗戀的漂亮女孩,一堆莫名其妙、荒唐惡搞、胡鬧打屁的匆匆日子,然後,青春就悄悄地逝去了。

Adolescence is like a heavy rain. Even though you catch a cold from it, you still look forward to experiencing it once again.

Everyone has those impetuous times, the time when every boy likes the same girl in class, rushing days with mischief and pranks. 

Then, youth departed without a sound.

Justin Bieber & Ashton Kutcher - Punk'D

Punk'd ended in 2005 and now Ashton Kutcher and Justin Bieber are bringing it back. I'm an Ashton Kutcher fan. I've followed up on That 70s Show and now on Two and a Half Men.

Each week there's a new host. That way people don't catch on and suspect they are being Punk'd before the prank is over. The first week Justin Bieber is hosting. He pranks Taylor Swift! Check it out below.

Oh and supposedly Justin has a new single 'Boyfriend'.

What is the question we are asking people in Galway, Ireland?



"You just regret the things you don't do"

"That I am 75 and I wish I was only 65"

"I got married; like a week ago"

"That I didn't start living for joy sooner"

"Maybe, not traveling more"

"Not marrying that last when we were in high school 50 years ago and letting her move to Canada...and meeting her 50 years later and finally marrying her. We've been married one year"

"My drinking"

"Not spending enough time with my dad...he passed away"

Costa Rica Trip

Where you arrive doesn't matter so much as what sort of person you are when you arrive there.

The Boeing 757-300 landed late last night. After about 3000 miles and nine hours later (including a two hour layover), we finally touched down in California. My first thoughts were of relief, but also a bit of anxiety.  I was glad that we were back home, but at the same time it also meant work was looming. For the past week, my friends and I had been waking up at 6:00AM Costa Rican time. For those of you on Pacific time, that is an hour later.

We traveled in Costa Rica for a week; while stopping at four different citis including San Jose, La Fortuna, Monteverde, and Manuel Antonio.

Day 1

The Friday morning we left was spent mostly traveling. We were first stopped by a thirty minute flight delay due to thunderstorms in Houston, Texas. From California to Houston it took about three and a half hours. When we arrived at the George Bush airport in Houston, we ate lunch and waited for our next flight. We knew that we would be away from our American comforts, so a last minute Jamba Juice run was necessary. Immediately we noticed that the person preparing our "red gummy bear" drink was also holding the drink instructions in her right. Lone behold, it wasn't the best drink. After we departed from Houston, three hours later we touched down in the nation's capital, San Jose, Costa Rica, at around 10pm. What were our first impressions? San Jose is equivalent to a dangerous LA neighborhood. The streets were dirty, small, and dim-lit. To my left semi-rundown buildings and to my right I saw the same. Before we boarded the plane from Houston to Costa Rica, we ran into a Costa Rican local, who warned us to stick together in San Jose especially since we did not look like locals. We quickly proceeded to immigration. The officer asked for my passport and the immigration form. I had left my occupation blank. He asked what I did for a living. For whatever reason my first instinct was to tell him I was unemployed. "No trabajo", said the officer to his co-worker. They shared a chuckle.

After we passed customs and immigration, a taxi driver approached us and asked where we were going. First stop in San Jose - Hotel Le Bergerac. His red Corolla sped down downtown and on the way we passed what looked like a house party. Young adults were being patted down as they entered the house. We chatted with the taxi driver and asked him about the weather. He said that it rained constantly on and off. After about twenty minutes, we arrived at our hotel for the night. A nice girl took us to our room and I was actually pleasantly surprised. It wasn't a five star hotel/resort, but it wasn't rundown either. You could tell this was a nicely kept hotel. We were completely exhausted, so we knocked out.

A Personal Reminder Not So Personal

Like most of my peers, I strive for a better life each and every day. As cliché as it is to say, a better life for me is having those around me be happy. When we talk about happiness, I’m not talking about having every moment be pure jubilation. That is largely impossible.

The happiness I speak of is inner peace and the sense that we have everything to be happy already. That’s not to say that we shouldn’t have any desires; but when our criteria for happiness becomes having this job, that type of girl/guy, that house, etc. We are essentially trying to fill a leaky bucket with water.

Let’s face it. Most of our issues are not whether or not we have something to eat tomorrow, but what are we going to do about next week’s presentation to the VP. While we may have everything to be happy, the truth is few of us are. We believe that when we land that perfect job, then we will be happy. The problem with that is then your happiness becomes dependent on landing that job. This in turn creates anxiety, stress, and tension. The reality is that if we stopped focusing on ourselves, we’ll have a better chance at happiness.

Rants of a Third Year Associate

At some point in your life you end up realizing what really matters in life. Or maybe not.

It’s hard to imagine that I’m starting my third year at a Big 4 accounting firm. As I reflect my experiences, truthfully I can’t tell you what I traded two years of my life for. I know I’ve developed great accounting skills. But if you tell that to anyone outside of accounting, they could care less.  It certainly has not drawn any chicks. I almost want to say that I wasted two years of my life.

In college, everybody wanted to get into the Big 4. If I had to do it all over again, I probably would not have taken them up on this offer. But, ask me another day and my answer may be different.

The end goal is always to live a better life. I seriously do not know what I have today that I didn’t have back then. In fact, I think I actually lost friends because of this job. People begin to think you are ignoring them during busy season. The truth is you are working ungodly hours and don’t even have time to sleep!  So, you put yourself in their shoes and force yourself to nurture your relationship. Well, you are so exhausted from those long hours that when you meet them for the first time in six months, you don’t even have the energy to be enthusiastic. They take it the wrong way and figure you are not interested in seeing them.

Having your dream job, dream car, dream house, and dream girlfriend, etc. is what it is - just a dream. To a certain degree, if you are out there “collecting” these situations, you mind as well try to win the lottery. There are too many external factors that affect the chances of you landing that great job. This includes whether your dream job even exists. Even then suppose it isn’t in the area you are living. Would you leave your dream house, if it meant you’d get your dream job? You’d think you’d be able to have both, which may be the case, but what about having all ten of your dreams fulfilled?

I am future focused. My belief is if I focus on laying a solid foundation today, tomorrow I will reap the benefits. I’d gladly pay the price today and delay my reward for an even greater reward tomorrow. If only, life worked in such a systematic way. What you put in, you may not necessarily get back. Even if you do get it back, who knows when you will be able to collect? 

Live for the present because who knows if you’ll have a tomorrow.
