I'm going to meet you now

Youtubing again.

One of my fave Korean actors is Kim Bum. Ahh! He's sooo cute, but why do you have to be so young T.T

On top of acting well, he also sings beautifully.

I really love this song, even before I found out the lyrics in English.

Lyric kim bum's songKorean Lyrics:스쳐 지나가는 사람들 그 속에서누구보다 먼저 찾고싶었어올것만 같던 그 눈동자 목소리가안아주고 싶은 마음만 들어그리워서 보고싶어 그댈 부르면세상 어디든 그댄걸요다시 그댈 불러 봅니다나 이렇게 그대라서사랑하는 그대라서지금 그댈 만나러 갑니다내게 눈물보다 깊은 사랑알려준 그대처음 얘기하던 길가에 가로등도여전히 이렇게 내맘을 비춰눈가에 스치는 모든게 그 모든게그대에게만 이어주는 추억진심으로 좋아하게 됐다 말하면곤란해할까 두렵지만다시 그댈 불러 봅니다나 이렇게 그대라서사랑하는 그대라서지금 그댈 만나러 갑니다내게 눈물보다 깊은 사랑알려준 그대그대 하나로몇번이라고 해도다시 태어난대도그대 사랑이면 된다고누구보다 사랑합니다내가슴에 내 맘속에살아있는 그대라서지금 그댈 만나러 갑니다이제 영원이란 약속까지 담아갑니다그대 사랑해서 행복합니다

I'm Going to Meet You Now

Within the people I simply brush by
I wanted to find more than anyone
The eyes welled up with tears,
that voiceI only want to hold you
If I miss you and call out to you my dear
Wherever I may be, it is for you

I'm calling your name again
Because I'm like this
Because your are the one I love
I'm going to see you again
A love deeper than my tears

The lamp on the street where we
First spoke shines a light on my heart
Evething that catches my eyes,everything
Are memories that remind me of you
If I tell you that Ive gotten too really like you
Will you feel unsettled?

I wonderI'm calling your name again
Because I'm like this
Because you are the one I love
I'm going to see you again
A love deeper than my tears
With only you

No matter how many things
Even if I'm reborn
Will you feel unsettled?
I wonderI love you more than anyone
Inside my heart,
Because you live in my heart
I'm going to meet you now
Bringing along the promise of forever
I'm so happy to be loving you

Money Talk$

I hear a christmas song playing downstairs in my house. All I want for christmas by Britney...lalala...

Hmm to be honest, I'm not that fond of Christmas, anymore. I can't point my finger exactly to what to call this "feeling", but its not one of festivity. I'm really reluctant to say this, but I kind of dread Christmas. I want to get to the bottom of this issue, and hopefully, be rid of this feeling. And so here are some real issues that makes Christmas dreadful, for moi:

1. Exorbitant spending. I think the idea of giving has evolved into a tradition of presenting tangible goods to people we both like and don't like. I know I sound so cynical. Please bear with me. But this might be something I was not oppose to before. I am familiar with the feeling of giving. It brings me much more happiness when I see a recipient of my gift as happy as could be. I just graduated from university, and the last four Christmasses made me realize how difficult giving could be - especially untimely giving. I'm talking from a financial perspective.

2. Excessive dinners. and sometimes the need to bring a date. Ugh. I feel like that's more of a chore than an easy night, really, sometimes I'd rather just not. Excessive dinners also lead to increasing 'fat debt' as my co-worker S would call it.

But I have a solution! I see this as a test of my will and discipline to stay true to financial plans (I don't have one yet, but I will write one after this...and after I pick up my brother who always calls at an importune time..grrr...).

Ok, back.

So my plan is to make something this year for my friends and family without breaking the bank. It would be something new, and something I would enjoy doing :) Can't wait, hope it turns out good!

Still thinking of the next step.

I feel like time is slipping, once again. Hmm I want to find passion again, in something. And fast!

Here is Warren Buffett' career advice as told to Tuck MBA Candidates.

"Q: What is your career advice?

A: If you want to make a lot of money go to Wall Street. More importantly though, do what you would do for free, having passion for what you do is the most important thing. I love what I do; I'm not even that busy. I got a total of five phone calls all day yesterday and one of them was a wrong number. Ms. B from NFM had passion, that's why she was successful. A few months ago I was talking to another MBA student, a very talented man, about 30 years old from a great school with a great resume. I asked him what he wanted to do for his career, and he replied that he wanted to go into a particular field, but thought he should work for McKinsey for a few years first to add to his resume. To me that's like saving sex for your old age. It makes no sense."

You will succeed in whatever you do if you have passion for that job. Therefore, passing the Level 1 CFA exam will open doors, but to succeed on your job, you need passion.
