It’s been a month already!??!

by Mike

It’s been a month since I have joined millions of men, who discretely display affection for a woman everyday in public with a simple tribute to the neverendingness symbol. The ring on my left hand has become less heavy and I don’t really think about it too much through out the day. In the short month of being blistfully married, I have discovered a handful of things no one ever told me but wished someone had.

  • Shinny Soft Metal ring does not mix with a scrub. Specially a foot scrub.
  • Same soft metal isn’t really all that soft if someone grabs your hand and holds it tight even if she is less than 100 lbs.
  • Your snorring will keep both you and your wife awake at night but suprisingly there is more pain felt by you than her.
  • Parents are always hard to please but when you double the number of people to please, only thing you can do is just give up.
  • You think you are anal retentive, try living with another anal retentive person. You pale in comparison now matter how “clean” you thought you were.
  • Buying anything takes 4 time longer than before because of the above reason.
  • Your social calendar is all of a sudden fully booked for the next three months.

I’m sure there is more.. I’ll post more later when I remember.

Tech Boom take 2.

by Mike

I still remember how “Good” things were little over half a decade ago. Before everything came crashing down, being an engineer was looked at with an envy and being an engineering student was like being told how good your life will be as soon as you pay your dues and get yourself out there to join the big party that is the job market.

Incredible job offers with signing bonues were everyday things you hear from people just crashing out of the gates of graduation and entering the “Career” with full throttle.

And then… Everything came crashing down. For well over three years, all I heard was horror stories of how little jobs were available. I personally knew of people who couldn’t find anything for close to a year before finally either making a drastic career change or just take the first thing that came their way.

I, however, took the opportunity to surf the turbulent waves of jobs from various different companies all the while blaming my constant shift in career to the state of economy.

The new wave is now upon us and I’m still trying to see if the wave is big enough to last this time. How’s the water for you???

Soo… What’s new?

by Mike

Here is a long over due “Hello” from the world of a married men.

Turns out the problem with my comments was all thanks to the spams I’ve been getting on the comments.
Now, I have cleaned up all the spam and turned on a moderation. You can all go a head and comment away but it won’t show until I accepted at least one comment from you. For now, I think I will try this solution out and see if I can keep up with you all.

So.. the most common question I get now, I will do my best to answer here:
Q: How’s married life?
A: Do you really want to know?? ’cause it might make you jealous! All I have to say is.. if you really want to know, try it yourself.

Q: What’s new?
A: umm.. everything? how long have you been out of loop? or does my lack of blogging in the past year really the reason?

Q: Still working crazy hours?
A: is the sky blue?

Q: How’s the car?
A: I haven’t talk to you for how long.. and you are more interested in how my car is doing? Do you wonder why I haven’t invited you to my wedding?

—– hehehe —– welcome back to my random world! ———-
