I'm now thinking of where I should live when I'm at that age...so what does Spain have to offer.

Pros and cons ?

Value for money ?

$100.00 free to use, what would you do with it?

















For example, Donate, Buy yourself something. What? I would pay bills! lol Then music. What kind? Save it, etc.

It started with a nice taxi driver who waited for me 15 minutes without complaint but with a big smile on his face. He also took me to a shop for good breakfast and even offered me a discount

Then i sat next to a nice us gov female officer and a gentleman and had great talk. They later encouraged and congratulated me a lot on my translation

I also made a new friend with a freelance translator and helped my friend to get new trainee for her company

On the way back, i got free taxi ride thanks to the bank's promotion program

And seem lucks also don't come alone. The embassy specialist said she would consider me for the next trip to Hawaii

Now. I m too full, cos of the good things i had today and ... the dinner i cooked after long busy week

Seem like i was the center today at the training as people looked at me, teased me, praised me a lot, for both appearance and translation quality. However, seem other translators didn't really like that. None of them said a word to compliment me and when i told one of them that i got the opportunity of possible trip to Hawaii, she didn't congratulate but seemed upset

Oh one guy guessed my age 3 years older than my actual one which made me really upset but in the end another guy guessed me 3 years younger so that made the even lol

And finally, home, these beauties welcome me back. Can't help taking so many pics of them

Thanks Life

The colonel told me when we hugged goodbye after 3 days working together.

And... a person from the embassy asked me if i m interested in working at the embassy ...

I don't know if i can ask for 10-15 days off from my current work to go for that Hawaii mission or not. I also don't know if I can pass all the embassy recruitment procedures or not but i m feeling so hopeful now

Please pray for me that i can do all of these and make myself and more people happy

SO headache with this calculation of pros and cons, priorities...



What should I do? grrrr

The headmaster surprisingly asked to take photos with me and out of sudden she offered to present to me a "lipstick flower" basket and the reason she said was i am so beautiful haha why don't men find me beautiful but only women do? or just married middle-aged men think i m a good pick



Anyway, she made my day how does she know i love flowers so much



It seems that most men prefer young tall women. That i can do nothing about so just waiting for those who prefer short ones



One more good thing is that though the female colleague didn't want to offer me her sun-cream the male colleague borrowed a hat for me



Finally got home with these new blooms

I thought i sent the wrong forms 3 times and they would not select me but I've just receive a call from the embassy for coming and doing a test tomorrow.

Unfortunately, tomorrow we have to travel on business trip and the embassy only organizes the test once only. they said out of so many applications, they only select a few.... what should i do what should i do?

I love my current job, my boss, my colleagues, the freedom and respect i have but it is so hard to turn away from the tempting and challenging new space...and the States, my dream since i was a student. Oh no, i was happy that they did not call earlier as i thought i failed and no need to struggle myself to take it or leave it. now what should i do?

I can't leave my boss alone tomorrow as i will feel guilty running after another opportunity and not fulfilling my responsibilities for which i have enjoyed many benefits

But i don't want to let go such a unique opportunity that so many people dream of.

OMG what decision should i make now? tomorrow is very near huhu. If you were me what would you do?

Old joke - I hate people who take drugs. Like Customs officials.

Smuggling is bad, smuggling affects the economy of your country, it's a naughty thing to do. It has also been a UK tradition since about 2 days after the first introduction of import tax, boats whisking back and forth across the Channel by dead of night, Customs officials hurriedly created, and a very quiet war has raged ever since.

I smuggle one thing - cigs. I've been caught once, and had 5 cartons confiscated but on the whole I was lucky and my last few trips to the Continong have been to countries in the EU, where you can bring back as much as you are likely to need to turn your lungs into kippered flappy bits of cardboard.

Since I was in Spain in March, and in Portugal in April, it's been a while since I had to buy at UK prices. My last carton had packets of 20 cigs, from Portugal, with the price pre-stamped on them, 4.20 euros, so the carton was 42 euros. That's Portuguese law, the price is set by the government across all brands.

So I bought this morning - 68 smackers for a carton of 10 packets.

Now guess how many cigs there are in each packet. Go on. Guess.

SEVENTEEN.

So I guess I'm about to turn smuggler. That's just GREEDY, Britain. GREEDY.

There is still much controversy about whether or not cheaper imported goods are of quite the same quality as the ones made here in the USA or once made here. When it comes to tools, some maintain the cheap imported tools are made of metals either too soft or improperly heat treated. Others argue that although some Americans may have suffered 'temporary' losses of income when the local factories laid them off so the manufacture could take place in far away lands, the over all benefit to the consumer outweighs the local economic setbacks and the overall quality of the tool is not lessened. These folk maintain they feel the same confidence holding a tool marked made in XXXX as they did holding a tool bearing the Made in the USA stamp.

So someone went to a local Walmart and purchased a crescent wrench which was not made in America. Surely this new lower cost tool would give every consumer confidence their new purchase was the equal of the older tools.
