Just a quick entry for now.

I keep moving forward with my b-plan in a good way but every time I'm done with one section I realize that there's yet one MORE to go. Sheesh. If it wasn't for the occasional reassurance -- like last night from this guy who totally UNDERSTOOD my pain, started and sold his own business, name is Spencer, another one of Sandin's friends visiting this week, and I wanted to write more about him but I just do NOT know how to describe him, lol -- I think I could seriously have a problem. Perhaps I've set unrealistic expectations for myself but still. I must be NUTS.

But what can I do?

I can either stop now and shut the #&*%! up. Or. I can trudge forward and shut the f*ck up too. Gee what should I do? Sorry. I just made myself laugh. LOL!

Welp.

My marketing and sales strategy is CRYSTAL CLEAR. Next down the line is the implementation schedule and all the costs involved. Last part. With that done, I will know whether I can make money with ORIENTED, or not. So that's that.

"All kinds of stuff..."

It's been great hanging out with Mark and Felicia. With Felicia back in the apartment it's like she never left. Sandin and I are trying VERY hard to convince her to move back to Taipei. Mark on the otherhand has been away for over a year and probably won't come back, but get this. His Mandarin has not regressed at ALL. Even he admits being surprised at that fact when I mentioned it to him.

Anyway, tons happening but am too busy to write about it all, am being totally incongruent as is, but there is one thing, my travel plans for the holidays...

In a nutshell, I have to be on the East Coast in mid-December for an important family event and for Christmas, Nelson and I couldn't match our schedules to travel to China together before the end of the year, I was telling Wennie how frustrated I was with my itinerary since it seems I can only get to China AFTER the holidays but that it would have been fun to travel with Nelson (we've traveled together before) and NOW what am I going to do?

Next thing you know, Wennie goes, "I'll go with you to China!"

So I said, "Well HOT DAMN GIRL let's go!"

Within the hour, Felicia jumped on the bandwagon, too. Okay so I attacked her within minutes of her showing up at the apartment straight from the airport but Felicia is ALL about spontaneity! I told Wennie she'd go before I even asked her (I'm terrible but oh well!). We looked into ticket prices already. It's very doable.

So that's that.

Two more girlfriends want to go with us and are looking into it now though I don't think I should mention names yet just in case I get them in trouble. This could potentially be a TOTAL RIOT. We're planning to spend four days in Shanghai (will celebrate New Years there) and four in Beijing (staying with Larry, awesome!).

This will be the first year ever that I will spend New Years outside of the U.S.

To some, that ain't no big deal. But for me, celebrating New Year's the "American way" and IN America is an absolute must-do. It's tradition. It's going to feel weird celebrating it in China but... it behooves me to check things out. Might as well kill two birds with one stone and party it up with my girlfriends along the way!

So that's the latest.

Crazy.

Disclaimer: All of the above is subject to change except for the part that says "I must be NUTS". I can't help myself even if I tried.
