    Cute things your kids say

    My wife's a teacher in a predominately Hispanic neighborhood and at the end of each school year, I bring pizza for the class.  The students always want to ask me a bunch of questions. Because I'm Asian, the most memorable question was, "Mr Movingonup, do you know kung-fu?!?!?" Per my wife, kids...

    Please check out ispa. Same owners as beach spa in fullerton. They're hoping they can extend beyond koreans as patrons. Fun almost fact...if the owner's son married his then girlfriend, she was supposed to work there as the hostess/greeter/face of the place. She was REALLY pretty and an...

    Lambert Ranch in Irvine

    Ninja turtles place high valuations near sewers and sewage. Lambert Ranch's close proximity to the prison also allows ninja turtle and his family a short commute to battle criminals.

    Outback Steakhouse (Irvine)

    This Outback Steakhouse place looks and sounds delicious. I can only imagine how crowded it was on Valentine's Day. If you're ever willing to venture out of Irvine, try a place called Sizzler. PM me for photos.

    Where can I find a good suit to last at the last minute?

    You're a last second filler and they're not renting you or the other groomsmen a suit/tux. Sounds like a broke shot gun wedding where a hole or two in your suit won't matter. I'd rather ask a tailor/dry cleaner to repair the hole(s) in my old suit...at least it's appropriately fitted, rather...

    Awww poor realtors...NOT!

    If an agent goes to a listing on average 20 times, 30 miles away outside their area (roundtrip 60), in a car with 20 mpg (mostly highway), with gas up $2/gallon, we're talking and extra $120. Agents aren't taking listings because of the rising gas prices? Realtards.

    [IHB] API & Equity

    How many of those asians in your AP class do you think are working minimum wage? Any of them working at a fast food joint? I'd bet the majority have incomes exceeding Irvine's current median income. I wouldn't make that bet on any other group.  btw, asians unfortunately aren't raised to go...

    [IHB] API & Equity

    Not bitter at all. I've achieved decent success in my career and have moved up pretty quickly. Honestly this guy just sounds weak in all aspects of his life. Find a new pet project, dude sounds hopeless.

    [IHB] API & Equity

    For asians, it has nothing to do with race. Asians would have a hard time with older asians as well, if not worse.

    [IHB] API & Equity

    Watch how they interact with their peers and the staff below them. This should be a good indication on how they might behave when they age and move up the corporate ladder. Enjoy/appreciate your little asian workhorse. The guy will bend backwards to make you (his boss) look good and publicly...

    [IHB] API & Equity

    One is a senior manager here in socal, the other is a manager who just recently transferred to asia. Many reasons. First, there is a glass ceiling. Second, it's not that asians are social misfits because we only study, the corporate culture goes against the way we're raised. Asians are taught...

    Poker

    You can read the books, play home games, play for free online, but you have to play for real money against strangers to understand. Learning is not free, there's a tuition. It took me a good 2 years at the casino to start winning consistently and where I finally understood how to play my...
