Susan Boyle - Britains Got Talent 2009

You got to check this out! Susan Boyle got the hearts of the judges and the audiences not by her appearance, but simply by her singing! Against all odds, people recognized the true beauty below the surface. Besides this being an encouraging story, I have liked the song “I dreamed a dream” ever since I first listened to it. And not to mention Les Miserables, classic! Enjoy it! http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x8yxcu_susan-boyle-singer-britains-got-tal_music&related=1 Susan Boyle - Singer - Britains Got Talent 2009 ...

順子 -- 回家

What a song! 順子 -- 回家 [youtube &hl=en&fs=1] 回家 作詞:順子 作曲:順子 演唱:順子 我還不明白 為什麼你離開了我 沒有你的電話 沒有一封信 我每天晚上在這裡 那裡也不想去 可是 我好愛你 我覺得我會離不開你 可惜 我丟了你 慢慢我的眼淚留下來 回家 回家 我需要你 回家 回家 馬上來我的身邊 Oh~Hm~~Yeah 別再哭 就讓他走 再多痛苦的等候 相信我也能承受 閉上眼 不再留戀 你卻一遍又一遍 出現在想你的夜 別說 不會有結果 永遠永遠 別說分手 而你 又怎麼能夠 就這樣的放手 一去不再回頭 ...

Free FICO scores???

I am assuming we all know about getting our annual free credit reports from AnnualCreditReport.com. However, to get your FICO score you got to pay for that. What!!? If you google a little you will see lots of free credit scores services, but most of them just lure you to get on a trial service for a few days. That’s not cool man… Then I came across this blog post that talks about Credit Karma, still in beta, offering free credit scores with ads. Here is an interview with Credit Karma CEO Ken Lin on his purpose of setting up his website. ...

The growth of twitter

From businessinsider.com What I like about twitter is that: 1. You get to tell people whatever you like to, and vice versa. 2. You can choose from whom you want to hear. 3. I get tweets on my phone, meaning it’s instant and convenient. What a tool!

Saving vs Spending

I read this interesting article, suggesting that spending is as important as saving. You have heard of buyer’s remorse, but holding back too much will lead to regrets years later as well. Here is the article: If You Save Too Much — You Might Regret It Later! http://consumerist.com/5182167/if-you-save-too-much–you-might-regret-it-later Well, I will give you one more reason to spend at recession like ours right now. You know one way the US is handling the foreign debt is to simply print more dollar bills? How much are they printing? Hold your breath, and watch this fox news clip. ...
