    Heart of Parenting, Marriage, and Family

    OMG!  it seems like yesterday when my daughter was in this young age of 8 when I began blogging. This is an excellent reminder to all the dads that the most important thing is time spent with your child. I have experienced this journey and at the end it does not matter where your house is but...

    $400k to get into Yale

    I do think the kids of these wealthy families do not have the stellar high school grades to get into the top colleges. A higher SAT or ACT could offset the negativity and remove potential doubts about the applicants? academic ability. However, excellent SAT and ACT are not good enough to gain...

    $400k to get into Yale

    Holy crap! My daughter graduated from a second tier college and it is listed as one of the colleges being investigated. Why spend so much to scam second tier colleges. It is interesting that the offsprings of the wealthy aren?t into science so there is no point in scamming MIT or Cal Tech or may...

    Here is the Irvine Company?s $200 million plan for the old Macy?s space

    Enclosed high end malls catering to the Asian shoppers will continue to thrive. Luxury good is highly sought after. Outdoor malls must have vertical height to cast longer shadow. Asians do not like the sun.

    College Admissions Help and Advice

    I do think tutoring works to improving test taking confidence. When it comes to college consultants I agree with those giving good advice to the applicants based on their own merits. Those who fraudulently create fake social media persona and online resume are not doing the students' any favor...

    California Students Flocking to Universities in Arizona

    My childhood friend was an admission officer for USC for many years. He is no longer there. USC is highly selective and difficult to get into for freshman. This college knows how to game the ranking system because all the college ranking data is only based on the Freshmen admission. It is...

This could also mean raze the house and built something new and keeping up with the latest trend and technology.

    Portola Springs Neighborhood 4B: Brisa, Celeste and Talise

    Great choice in choosing a good plan from a good builder! View property for less than 1m is rare for Irvine. As the GP matures you will appreciate the proximity to all the amenities and still quiet by your enclave. More city lights will be added. Luckily the toll road does not generate a lot of...

    Save the Memorial Park! Vote No on Measure B ballot June 5th

    You may not know your geography. There are chinese from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippine who don?t behave like the Chinese Nationals from The People Republic of China and my message does not include the fine Chinese Nationalists from the Republic of...

    Save the Memorial Park! Vote No on Measure B ballot June 5th

    Not everyone is passionate about visiting the grave site. That does not mean people like me don't respect veterans. We have different way of showing our respect. I don't know of any veteran being buried at the cemetery and I really have no reason to visit. I am an immigrant and so are many who...

    Save the Memorial Park! Vote No on Measure B ballot June 5th

    Everyone cares about the property value including non-chinese. Who wants to get stuck with a property that will not resale well. Everyone is assuming the next buyer will be likely Chinese. By then Portola will knock University off the helm and buyers betting on homes surrounding the school would...

    Save the Memorial Park! Vote No on Measure B ballot June 5th

    Regardless of my affiliation to the developer. I would voice my opinion for what is the right thing to do. The number of homes to be built at the Greatpark has already been entitled and approved. Not a single more unit would be allowed regardless of the cemetery locations. The only difference...

    Cadence Park - Great Park

    YF is Yellow Fever. He thinks Eastwood is heaven. He disappeared for a while and came back with a new name. Very few could successfully conceal their identity as the old timers could sniff them out.

    3 Car Garages

    Yes I remembered in 2006 I warned that the 3CWG will be extinct. Next would be the driveway, then your yard and I was a lunatic for mentioning 3 stories. 12 years later and here we are. Unless the city sets up more stringent code homes will continue to mutate. City codes only enforced required...
