My Awesome Birthday Gift

Image
By



I love books. In fact, when I am no longer nomadic I would acquire so many books and stare at the shelves and feel excited. I also like collectibles – the “cool” things from this and that; statues, swords, stuffs. And I like video games a bit too much. At the moment I am enjoying Blizzard Ent.’s Diablo III, a fantastic game about the eternal conflict between the Burning Hells and the High Heavens and the struggled humanity living in between.

And this is what Arwen gave me for my birthday: Diablo III Official Strategy Guide, Limited Edition! The perfect combination of books, collectibles, and Diablo III! How awesome is that? I was speechless. I am such a lucky person to have a girlfriend like that. Here is the picture of the gift:

Just so you know, I don’t usually get collectibles of any sort. Those always are the things I would drool on forever and never buy. Diablo III for some reason is different. Recently I purchased a lore book of the game (unintended-ly), and now I even have the limited ed. strategy guide.  This may be a good chance for me to show my collection of Diablo III. Here we go:

So what do you think? Like my collection? With all of this being said, I don't do so well in the actual game since I don't have much time to invest on. If you want to add me in-game, leave me a comment and we'll figure things out!

    Nice! I tried the trial version of D3 but didn't like it so much. I still have Diablo 2: LOD Expansion on my laptop and play single player when Melissa is working on her blog.

    I know it's different. I myself felt weird at first, and didn't pay much attention to D3 for the first several weeks. Then I picked it up again, got used to it, and enjoyed it. But again, I am easy to pleased since many people complain about this game a lot.

    I loved D2! I was a bit too young to fully understand the plot back then but I loved my Druid. Did not know you also play it.

How Many Words in This List That You Know?

By
How are you doing on your readings in general and more specifically in developing your vocabularies? Recently I started reading a book for my Finance class called The End of Wall Street by Roger Lowenstein. In the very first chapter of the book – a short 6-page prologue, there were many words that I did not know, and I am listing them here: destitute somnolent bulwark scrutinize (to) prick quiescent laudatory salient fervent (adj) frothy parlance umbilical (cord) placate carnage plenitude opiate dictum stupendous I was so surprised to see so many new words in such a small amount of pages! How is this Roger Lowenstein guy? You would think that while reading a finance book, the only words you would stumble upon are technical terms or lingos. Or maybe I am just bad. How many words in the list above that you already know?

How to Become a Teller For Bank of America

By
I currently am working for Bank of America (BofA) as a teller, and it’s been 2 months now. A little bit about what I am, I am an international student whose first language is not English. When I graduated from college, I didn’t do any internship and had no remotely related experience to banking industry. I was full of disadvantages. BofA’s website clearly stated that they wouldn’t typically hire and sponsor F1-visa students, and, on top of everything, the economy was painfully lagging. One cannot help but wonder why in the world they would hire someone like me while millions of Americans were being unemployed. That’s why I really think that I should share my story, and that my story might be somewhat beneficial for some of you who are now reading it. The first and foremost reason was because I was interested in BofA deeply. When I was in my junior year, I was reading my Marketing textbook. The featured story of chapter 8 was about Bank of America, the history of the compa...

The Ineffectiveness of English

By
I have interacted with English since kindergarten, and for the last four years I have been living in the US, using solely English for daily communications. Despite my effort of continual self-improving, I can’t quite understand the language. There have been explanations, of course, such as how it’s not my first language, how cultures and traditions get in place… Only recently, it strikes me with a more understandable reason: English is an ineffective language. There are so many disadvantages of English. First of all is the way one person talks to another. You can only use “I” and “you” no matter if the person you’re talking to is an earthworm or a high king. The same with “he”, “she”, “it”, and “they”. All the languages that I have ever associated with, which are French, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Cantonese, they have different words to address different people. I believe this should be the way to talk, since each person requires to be treated with respect, order, and ...
