Cherry Blossom Festival 2012

It's that time of year again! Spring! The time to get out there, get some alcohol, and get drunk while enjoying nature.

Not quite what I did this year, but I did meet up with my friend Pat, who I hadn't seen in a long time. I also enjoyed some decent tasting overpriced stall food with some friends.

What's a Delicious Treat Enjoyed by All?

Sunday, April 1, 2012 Posted by Digital Katsu 0 comments
MagicalCreamPuff.com, the new domain name for this blog, is a delicious treat that can be enjoyed by all. I used to have a website under magicalcreampuff.com, but the name wasn't renewed so I lost the rights to the website. I decided to get the domain name now because digitalkatsu is expiring and I wanted something new. New Logo by Annie Ye (http://snowchu.deviantart.com)

I Can't Even Get One Number

Not even one number right~! Oh well, I tried. It seems that three people won the jackpot so they're going to have to share it. I donated my dollars so they could live above the system and not have to worry about money. I think it's to a good cause. Every once in a while someone gets pushed outside of the daily grind.

What Would You Do with $500 Million

Wednesday, March 28, 2012 Posted by Digital Katsu 0 comments
$500 Million Dollars~!
If I won... I would give the people who played a big part in my life money and I would invest the rest... after having fun with a portion of it. I would then take the interest and just give random people a bunch of money to see their reactions. I would love to be a philanthropist and help people in need.

I would also travel the world, try to understand my existence, help others, and just enjoy my life without having to worry about money. I might go back to school and study until I'm satisfied. I will also probably purchase some extravagant things like a yacht or an underground house, but nothing too expensive. I would keep the majority of it invested.

The fact of the matter is even if you won, it doesn't change the main rule of life, you live and you die. The only factor that's improved is the ability to influence others. After all money isn't really worth anything, but since people believe it's worth something they will do what ever you want for it. It really has the power of influencing people to give you things that you want and having the ability to be more important than others (in the sense that if someone else wants something you would have the priority).

This is the largest lottery prize in the history of the United States (as of 3/28/12).

Winged Goddess of Victory's Shoes

I purchased a pair of Nike Air Max 2011 running shoes today from Foot Action. Thanks to my friend Al, I was able to get a discount on the already on sale price. I saved 20% so these shoes were actually pretty affordable (A total of 50% off). I remember back in elementary school shoes were everything. If you had non name brand shoes you were an outcast or you were made fun of until you got new ones. It's funny how cruel kids can be. This might have influenced my purchase, but I really did want something with air in the soles. I guess it's my inner-child's dream finally come true.

They are pretty comfortable, but a little snug. The pair I purchased had specks of turquoise on the rims of the soles, but I took a permanent marker and made them pure black. I think the design looks cleaner this way. I was going to get some without the specks, but there were none in stock. I wanted the baby blue with black, but I guess this model's close enough. This model was also on sale, so I couldn't complain too much.

The Air Max's are supposed to be made out of one solid piece of nike's "hyperfuse" material. There is a seam on each shoe, but just one. I guess it's supposed to make it more durable. I just hope it doesn't pop. I think they look nice, though I would have liked them better if they were baby blue. Oh well, super discounted anyways.

I Got a Jerbs

I was contacted by Gala-net last Friday about a position with their company; I went to an interview on Tuesday, a Second Interview on Friday, and was offered the job today (Monday). A pretty quick process which I appreciate.

Some people are left hanging after the 1st and 2nd interview, which can be nerve wracking. They say after getting a second interview you pretty much have a 50/50 chance of getting the job, but I still was pretty iffy about this position. After the 1st interview the company reposted the job so I was surprised I received a second interview.

You just really never know until you are actually offered the job. What started as a part-time inquiry into the job market became a pretty in-depth search for better and more interesting positions. Basically, over 75 jobs applied to all with cover letters and resumes (since January). I received a few offers, but after looking over the contracts (like for the Oakland Zoo) they were too little hours with not enough benefits. Some jobs even had essay questions which I had to answer thoroughly. Some jobs required testing at facilities; I passed them all (which didn't even guarantee an interview). I know for a lot of the positions I didn't have the work history for them, but I did have the educational requirement.

I was happy about the offer, but the job really doesn't pay much. I know they were offering me a decent pay for the industry standard, which is why I accepted it. I just want to get into this industry because I'm passionate about it. It's something I really like and hopefully in a year or so I'll be able to move up in the ranks. Hopefully it's a venture where I can at least breakeven. I have to drive 42 miles to the office and gas is $4.19/gallon at Quickstop (the cheapest ghetto gas station where I live).
