台灣的第一夫人昏倒了

連勝文表示,「我想逛街應該蠻累的,逛街不會暈倒,出庭會暈倒,可能壓力比較大吧!面對法官的權威,(記者:醫生就說他血壓很低)是是是!我最近血壓也有點低,因為輔選很累,所以辛苦,不過,我還是硬撐著,我還沒有昏倒。」

天下的烏鴉一般黑, 墨西哥的議會會打架, 台灣的第一夫人會演戲. 第一家庭套得實在太好了. 我的看法跟連勝文一樣. 逛街真的很累, 以前陪Jessica逛就感覺到累. 誰沒有貪, 偶爾還不會洩漏馬腳, 夜路走多了一定會遇到鬼.

Sourcing Report

I did my report today. It was a short presentation about 30 minutes, including disccusion of course. It wasn't too bad. But I wasn't really happy about my presentation. It was totally unexpected. But luckily, I did it only to Victor and Arturo. Patricia and Esther asked if everything was okay. I said yes. In fact, Victor hasn't talked with Carlos and that means he expect me to stay for quite a while.

I have to stay for the meeting with Hernan and Monika tomorrow. Well, at least they are still paying me. I really think there is only follow-up left. I could not find any new suppliers for the materials that might bring us savings. There is nothing important left for me to do here. I would rather just give up my post and let another Mexican do the job.

Wang Lihe is playing me really hard. I have no idea that we have to wait for them to finish their production line next March before we can place any orders. Too sad that there is only Wang´s company that can kind of compete with Lxxxxc. I hope I can get away from here soon.

我要安樂死

"...床頭邊這張相片,紀錄著父母親對王曉民的疼愛,43年前的車禍意外,讓王曉民被醫生判定為植物人,王爸爸王媽媽一直日夜守候著王曉民,只是十年前開始,王媽媽和王爸爸相繼過世,如今王曉民已經60歲了,喪親的王曉民所幸仍有3個妹妹不離不棄,將她送往安養中心照顧,只是又有多少無法安樂死的人能有家人在旁陪伴?安樂死和人權的取捨,照料與孤獨的衝突,恐怕是無止境的拉扯..."

不用拉扯... 如果我昏迷超過五天, 或是已成植物人, 或是肌肉萎縮等重大疾病.. 就讓我安樂死... 管他什麼人權, 大多數人的人權才是人權. 與其救一個可能還是救不下來, 或是讓更多其他人的生活也一起難受...所耗的社會成本太高了.一個植物人的人權值什麼? 能行使什麼人權? 我不想罪人. 拖累別人我更難過...為什麼那些政客不讓這法案通過呢? 台灣又不是極保守,宗教勢力龐大的國家.. 又不像墨西哥(不可能進步的國家.) 宗教, 尤其是天主教,是阻礙發展的最大禍源...政教合一是動亂的根源...

如果是殘障, 少個胳臂像邵曉玲一樣, 那就另當別論. 墨西哥人的韌性強, 拜他們不好的社會福利所賜, 街上太多殘障在辛苦掙錢. 盲人也是一樣穿梭在街上, 搭地鐵, 賣東西等.. 對我有殘而不廢的鼓舞...那天我的右手不行了, 我還有左手, 還有我的腦...

I wish to die happily with dignity just like the Sampedro, the Spanish writer. Well, he had to get some help. I will do. I hereby announce that this is my WILL..

Con el agua hast el cuello?


Ayer mandé currículum vitae a 3 compañías. Son Blue Anchor, ESG y Bi-Link. Blue Anchor esta en Ontario, California y buscando a un Sourcing Manager. ESG esta en Rosemont, IL y buscando a un Commodity Manager; Bi-Link, Bloomingdale, IL, Buyer. No creo que voy a conseguir nada con algunos, pero hay que empezar. No creo que no fui a trabajar por el problema con el baño. Tengo que ir a la casa de cualquier amigo para bañarme. Ayúdame, cualquier persona.

髒水再侵犯...


早上被室友吵醒, 因為髒水已侵犯整個公寓. 所以只好打電話跟Victor請假, 再跟Monika說今天不能跟她開會... 我們就一直忙, 忙到水電工下午三點半來. 但在之前, 髒水又自行退去.可是比上次髒,又比上次臭. 我們洗地板, 拖地板, 等等. 其實原因純粹是水管阻塞, 老舊的問題, 必須改管道, 否則隨時會阻塞,隨時會再倒灌. 但是"水深"的日子就很難過了.那些水深火熱的人,真是可憐...

浴室再倒灌


感謝Guadalupe, 讓浴室倒灌的情形都發生在假日. 今天再次發生. 髒死了. 也很臭... 以後不住一樓了...現在是晚上, 得忍到明天早上... 還好規模不是很大, 沒有一直淹出來, 像上次一樣淹到客廳.

Guadalupe!

Today is the birthday of Guadalupe. The Mexican Goddess or Diósa. I wanted to go back to the company to check out the scene, but I got lazy and headed down to world trade center. The weather is absolutely beautiful. It reminds me that one of the main reasons that I'm here is because of the weather. So beautiful. So green. So warm. So nice. The sky is still so blue. I walked along Reforma and took some pictures for the record. Well, it's not necessary, but I thought I'd do it anyway.

The girls at the starbucks at Avenida Juarez know me, as I have been quite a regular here. The girls at Zona Rosa know how to fix my drink. Well, there is no fixing at all. They just serve me a cup of "Café Americano, Grande, con espacio para leche." Up to date, I still pride myself for being a very simple, easy-going guy and it doesn't take long to remember what the simple things are to keep me content.

I don't feel good going back to work, but I'm done updating my resume. We'll see where my next job take me. I would like to travel for work and the sourcing positions sound very enticing to me right now. Blue Anchor and Castle Steel both sound good to me.
