Blog is like a publish journal entry. It's good when we are bored and can't find anything to do., also good when you want to share something with most of your friends. I usually don't really think of blog unless I feel boring and can't find what to do as right now. First I think maybe I should read something to prepare for my class on Monday, but then I decided not to do that since it's still my holiday, and holiday is time for relax. Anyway, it's 11pm s.th now, I'm better go to bed.

This week is my spring break.. it's just the one week off holiday between winter and spring quarter, but I have done quite a lot of things during these few days.. which includes a lot of hang out, shopping, eat lot of ice cream, chatting online, sleep and watch movies, etc. However, I'm going to live on my regular schedule again soon because spring quarter is going to start on Monday.. I will be taking 4 classes, they are Computer information system, Statistics, Finance, and Marketing.. Here come the good examples of what marketing is..!! I got it from one of my friend just few minutes ago..

MARKETING STRATEGIES: A Professor at one of the conference was explaining marketing concepts to students

1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: “I am rich. Marry me!” – That’s Direct Marketing.

2. You’re at a party with bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friend goes up to her and pointing at you says: “he’s very rich. Marry him!” – That’s Advertising.

3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say” “hi, i’m very rich. Marry me.” – That’s Telemarketing.

4. You’re at a party and see a gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of her car) for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say: “By the way, I’m rich. Will you marry me?” – That’s Public Relations.

5. You’re at a party and see a gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and say: “you are very rich! Can you marry me?” – That’s Brand Recognition.

6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: “I am very rich. Marry me!” She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. – That’s Customer Feedback.

7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: “I am very rich marry me!” And she introduces you to her husband, -- that’s Demand & Supply Gap.

8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person comes and tells her: “I’m rich. Will you marry me?” And she goes with him – that’s Competition eating into your Market Share.

9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: “I’m rich, marry me!” Your wife arrives. – That’s Restriction for entering New Markets.

It's been quite a long time since my last blog, but now all my exams are over, so I should spend some time with my blog again.. otherwise, it just looks like real death. emmm, maybe I should not say all my exams are over since I still have a few more years to be in school. Anyway.. I'm done with the winter 2007 quarter. My result for this quarter probably somewhere over what I've expected. I almost can't believe I made perfect score on my accounting final. Although this is good to me personally, but it is not good toward the class as the whole since the professor probably not going to curve the overall grade and it's bad coz my sis is also in the class.. My bad!! I hope an A in this class is somewhere in the lower 90% range, so most people who I like will all have an A.

Whatever grade I get from my classes might not be the most important thing to me during this winter quarter.., the most happy thing is I am finally done with Philosophy class.. I rather say I learn nothing beside all those stupid philosopher story.. during most of the class time, I did the count down activity.. yeah.. it's super boring. Each day that I forgot to drink coffee before go to class, I would fall asleep during class time.. but nothing happen coz my prof. doesn't say anything. I guess he actually know that we are forced to take his class.

While philosophy is the class I hate the most, Finance is the class I like the best. I think my finance prof. has made me change my major from international business to Finance. Why?? coz he will pay me $10,000. I'm not joking about this, but he is the one make up this joke. hahaa.. Moreover, he even encourage me to consider about become a Finance prof. in the future.. which I am pretty sure I can't teach. Right now I am seriously tended to thinking about major in Finance, but if I do this, I need to come up with the reason why don't I consider of major in Accounting instead? I like my accounting class too.. Choosing a major is real tough..I can't even choose one for myself :(
