The emphasis..
At some times, the message gets really clear. As they say, actions speak louder than words. When it happens, all you have to do is be more assertive in yourself.
On the flip side, it serves as a reminder to get selfish and in the end, blood is thicker than water. Everything else is artificial and it's been proven time and time again.

Into the 4th Quarter..
Life is frustrating at times, but it makes it worthwhile. I just wished everyone was on the same page. It makes it hard when everyone chooses to tussle in their own directions. It's more disappointing to see that others are selfish in their pursuits.
Despite the rough ride, I try to remain adamant in being in control.

Work
When you spend a great deal of your time at work, you start to develop relationships between each and everyone. Some of these relationships might be bad, some might be sour, yet there are those relationships that make a lasting impression on you.
What a sad day, but it's not the end.

Observation
What you see is the most genuine reflection and validation of all. Observations trump emotions, that is, if you are able to contain yourself.
Broad markets tell a story.
Underlying base tells another.
The stock itself indicates otherwise.
So who is right? Who is wrong? Price pays, but time is the x-factor. Pray and hope to buy time, and price will either be on your side or against you. This is what we face whenever we are exposed in such ways.
Right now, I am observing my position and though I am 'biased' to the underlying base patterns, I must not let the 'fact' that the price of the stock has moved a certain way. Regardless, the patterns and tracks give you clues.
Just stick w/ the plan.

Back into the trade...
Back into the trade. I've initiated shorts last week based on my own readings. As the successful guys say, you have to handle your butt being kicked. Finally, I woke up and the stock slid down 8% !!!!
In context of everything, the hedge position is doing well and I've added to the position. I'll continue to monitor as the big trend contains the smaller one.
Trust yourself...
On the work aspect, cycles and durations have occurred. Drama like no other !

Thoughts..
The year is coming to an end. It's going to be great, but it's ticking by SO FAST!
I'm trying to completely eradicate drinking but that's something on its own. I understand now, what it means to have an addiction, to have a problem. I understand why families are so over-protective now. I hope to get better.
I've grown a couple of things recently, and feel like I'm helping the world and feel very accomplished. I plan to continue this, as I grow my own food, nurture my plants and see them succeed into fruition.
KEKE
Still pretty bullish on some things. Work is a challenge. Although it's not perfect, I think life and the situation at hand is what matters most.

October
It's been a long time since the incident and I've been flustered w/ work projects among many things. But I guess it is productive in this type of environment. Though there are no guarantees in life, it keeps me focused and in tune w/ society.

September 9, 2011
I came home today and found the gate open. In my mind, for a Friday that 'seemed' fateful, I had thought that it was the usual. I had thought that my sister had just got home and had let the dogs out or my dad was doing his usual yard work.
In the few seconds that I had painted this imagery along w/ the clanking of my Friday beer bottles, I heard a giant voice in the far end. It was my mom yelling! A few verbal exchanges of my dad and her popped my typical Friday imagery and I knew something was not the 'norm'. I had thought, perhaps it was the usual disagreement, but it didn't seem that way.
When I walked further in, the patio was filled w/ water. It seemed like my folks were cleaning it, but the bigger issue arose just a few minutes later. I went in, progressed to do my usual weekly unwinding. Downstairs, I heard an exchange between my mom and sister. My mom wanted the dogs out of the house and didn't want them in anymore. My mom beckoned in a sorrowful and angered tone. My mom disliked the dogs being in the house and my sister's selfishness all these years finally created the most painful and heartbreaking scene ever. My legs were shaking, my head was spinning. I do not feel this way regularly, but it shook me. It traumatized me. As I furthered, I heard the loud and hurtful exchange.
With me trotting downstairs and my brother following behind, my mom commanded my sister to take the dogs out into the yard (as if she wanted us to hear). She no longer could tolerate the dogs being in the home, neither did I or anyone else except my sister. To say the least, the boiling point hit. My mom was just so tired of the years of hard work and the emotions exploded. It finally climaxed here, right now. In my life, I have never seen her like this. NEVER. She held the mop in one hand and approached my sister as my sister just would not yield anymore.
I knew my sister was spoiled, and I did not realize she would take it this far. She was saying very harsh things that added more hate and sadness into my mom. My mom approached my sister, thinking she could force her to take the dogs out, but my sister again was naive, selfish, and hard nosed. She would not bulge. She again continued her hurtful words and my mom continued to mix her anger and sadness in her retaliation. I have never seen, nor did I ever realize it would be like this. My grandma soon appeared out from her room. She tried to mediate, yet it was too late. She told everyone to just get the dogs out and to not fight over it, but the matches were lit and it seemed like a scene in the movies.
As the verbal commands no longer worked, my mother approached further to get the dogs out. Then the physical exchange occurred. My mom, w/ the mop in her hand was trying to get the dogs out. Yet, my sister grabbed it and pushed my mom aside. I could not believe it. Again, I told myself, I could not believe what has become of my sister. The hurtful words, the physical contacts my sister induced was making me boil. She seemed so steady, so unfazed, so steady.
As the confrontation got more physical, I clenched my fist and punched my sister in the face. She continued her disparaging and hurtful words as if my punch did nothing. I gave her another one. My hand connected real hard on the 2nd one and my mom and grandma became shocked and disbelieved what I had done. I was now being reprimanded for being physical. The 2nd swing made my sister retreat as she tended her wound. For that split second, my mom took down her guard and went to check on my sister. My sister shed a tear, but in the midst of it all I told her not to disrespect mom like that. I hope I got the point across.
I had thought the police would come as the ruckus we created was very loud. More so, I had thought my stupid sister would call the police. Nothing happened. I don't know if blood dripped but my hand started to swell up. Two knuckles are now inflamed. I suspect my sister would have hers.
It's a very unfortunate event, but it seemed arranged and a fateful one. I requested to leave early from work as well. It seemed like I was destined to be in this. It was time perhaps.. I don't feel too remorseful, but hindsight is 20/20. I am not a violent person, nor do I enjoy it. Hindsight told me to slap, instead of punch, but I just could not envision nor see my sister disrespecting my mom like that. She needed a lesson and this was one that was perhaps brought upon her from herself.

Thorn Birds
So far Thorn Birds is pretty interesting. Some cliche plots and techniques made infamous w/ Korean Drama, but still very attractive. ;)

49 Days
It's been quite a while since I've watched a Korean drama. Somehow, I was attracted to 49 Days. I'm not sure what it was, but I started to download it w/o realizing what it was about. However, that day came when I gave myself a chance w/ movies and 'Korean Dramas' again. After the initial episode, I was extremely attached. It gave me a nostalgic feeling of all I've went through. I am so surprised that the culture of melodrama still runs so strong. In those regards, I find it even more attractive.
The dialogue between characters are unrivaled to anything else. It reminded me that Korean Dramas maintained their personality over the years and for reason. The music, the tears, the pain and understanding shared between those that have been in similar situations make it so strong.
I am beset w/ a weird feeling.. Regardless, I enjoyed this series very much... *Sigh*

Thoughts..
It has been a great while since I've taken the time to reflect upon myself. Things have been a challenge this year. So much has happened. In hind sight, time has sped ahead w/o me, sometimes leaving me confused as to what my next step should be. Times are definitely different and requires me to mature and face many challenges.
Life for me is dictated by work. This routine has gotten tiresome, but the past few weeks presents a challenge. I've been given a new opportunity to do some credit analysis at work. I'm looking forward to the challenge, but most of all I am grateful for being considered. But I know my weaknesses and hope to overcome them.
There are still things bothering me on the inside, but I guess they can go on the back burner for now. My dreams are big, and my dreams are challenging. I hope to one day move to the city where the world is really located. I want to start a new in a loft, a home. It's too bad though, because this dream requires people w/ the same vision. Pioneering is easier said than done. Oh well, the level of architecture, design, and opportunities simply cannot be compared!

Lots of things..
It's been a gigantic while since I've seen a pretty yuhjah. It was pleasant, although it didn't fulfill all, it was still a sight to see!

Things
The passing of my close Uncle really put a change in us & myself. I found courage, strength and leadership when I had to face my self in delivering the eulogy. It was like an ordained moment for me because as much as I had anxiety and worries, I stepped up and volunteered to give the speech.
It wasn't easy but tough as it weighed on my mind. I didn't know what to expect. In the end, I delivered it.
Things have been tough, but I am hopeful about life. *(sigh)*

Adage, From Respectable Trader
Just for you, bottom...
One day an old German Shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
The old German Shepherd thinks, 'Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!' Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly, 'Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder, if there are any more around here?'
Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. 'Whew!' says the panther, 'That was close! That old German Shepherd nearly had me!'
Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the panther. So, off he goes.
The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the panther.
The young panther is furious at being made a fool of and says, 'Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!
Now, the old German Shepherd sees the panther coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks, 'What am I going to do now?', but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old German Shepherd says...
'Where's that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!'
Moral of this story
Don't mess with the old dogs... Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! BS and brilliance only come with age and experience.

Equities look like they are rolling over. I must remain patient in buying shares. The plan remains the same.

2010 Year end review...
I haven't composed anything worth reading. Jeez, when was the last time I typed or wrote something over 1 page ?! Oh well. Life has changed dramatically in 2010. There's been a lot of financial discourse, hard work but no fruition of harvest.
My whole life involves around financial achievement and accomplishments. Health care has been the year's worst performer. But I cannot deny that this is a prime opportunity to buy into my core portfolio.
I also am very bullish on energy, but that train has left, so I will reassess later.
I spent 2-3 years chasing a quick hit scheme that has no core, no foundation. I remember Legos, Play-doughs being one of the earliest toys given to me. A foundation is very important !! It is the shield and it must weather the storm in any possible situation. I've spent the past few weeks altering my mindset. It has been very difficult but I have capitulated myself.
I will ease into Health Care stocks as I feel they are discounted. I hope I am able to see capital gains for them, but I have shifted my attention into dividend investing.
I am still going to trade but this alteration is a necessary one. Human beings are the most optimistic creatures ever. They are able to instinctively defend themselves when they are in danger. They find ways to defeat obstacles, and maintain hope and drive.
Work just sucks..
ACCK !
Hope 2011 becomes a pivot. Oh yeah, I'm clean now..... CLEAN !!!
