Going Cheap

Going cheap doesn't necessarily save you money. It just shows people you are cheap.

My company has one (new) microwave in the kitchen. Due to popular demand, they've added another new one. But after they are used for two months, one of them is already broken.

How could that be? Well, they probably just buy the cheapest microwaves available in the market, which turns out to be Haier. But at this rate, they are going to pay much more than spending more on a better microwave.

Impressive!

That's what I was told by my doctor when I was there for my physical. There is a over 20-pound difference since I last seen him, so it's no wonder. Of course, I'm still like 10 pounds away from my target, and I hope it will be achieved by the next time I see him.

Secret Trip II

Long time no update, which can only mean I was bothered by another secret trip, right?

It was a fun little trip. Even though I had only two direct flights, I visited four different airports. That's right, from airport A to airport B, then from airport C back to airport D. And airport D, otherwise known as Long Beach Airport, is an extremely small airport: With only one terminal and a handful of airlines, you can get off your plane and leave the airport in 1 minute...

The Long Beach flight was by JetBlue, my first time flying them. I didn't have much expectation, but their having DirecTV is amazing. I just enjoyed the NBA playoffs and wished the flight was longer...

I also got a deal from Hertz and rented a Pontiac G6 two days for only $47 (it's a steal considering a $15 airport transportation fee). But what caught me off guard was gas. At $4 per gallon and driven for over 200 miles, I paid almost the same amount for gas.

Pineapple Slicer

Like most Americans, I love to buy ridiculous specialized tools. One of my latest collection is this pineapple slicer. It has great reviews, and that's certainly by no accident. I just tried it last night, and it produced near perfect slices, all with very little effort. There is no need to buy their stainless-steel version, as the plastic one is good enough. I am going to eat plenty of fresh pineapples now, which are exponentially better than processed ones.

The only regret I have is I didn't buy their set version. My pineapple was too big for the slicer, and some was wasted at the shell. So don't follow my mistake if you're getting one--go for the set!
