Huan Zhe Ge Ge/Pearl Princess (New Version) Info

Finally someone's had the time to translate some plot information regarding the New Huan Zhu Ge Ge
Check out this blog:

http://therainhouse.wordpress.com/2010/10/18/the-new-huan-zhu-ge-ge-faq

It explains the reason for the remake, how the actors/actresses were selected and the plot.
Instead of 1 big series, it is actually a 3 part series....see how misleading some information are.
And it leaves a big cliff hanger ending at the third part. Even after reading it, I felt said. Poor Xiao Yan Zi and Yong Qi. 

If you want more info, pictures, etc: You can check out the following links:

The New York Job Fair on November. 9th 2010

NYCHires hosts the Worst Job Fair In The World!!!!!

I've been to quite of few of job fairs since High Schools....and this one I can say by far is the worst!!!
I arrived at Radisson Hotel at 32nd Street about noon and waited in line for about 30+ minutes. Since, there was such a long line, I expected the job fair to be pretty good. Boy was I wrong. It was a complete waste of time!

First of all, I heard about this job fair from my sister who read it on the newspaper. When I tried to look it up online, I was unable to find it. Until I enter the specific date, good job on marketing guys. When I finally found it, it suggests that I sign up at http://nyc.localhires.com in order to register for the fair and see the employer list. After doing so, I saw a list of about 15 which includes Family Health Plus,U.S Coastal Guard, and New York Life. ( I would post it but it is no longer available on it's website)

So what was wrong with it?
1. All of the positions that each company was hiring for is Sales, Sales, and more Sales. (Or it was the army)
2. Several desks were empty.
3. Space was limited. Was held inside a small conference room.
4. Line moved very slowly because they only let in about 15-20 people at a time.
5. For such a big city...we only had about 15 companies show up? (My college's hospitality job fair in our tiny restaurant was a better success.)

I tried to warn people who was still on the line when I came out that they offer offer sales positions. But no one budge. Guess they want to see for themselves.

Let's hope the next job fair I'll be attending will be up to some standard... Or I'll be forced to remained home-bound forever.

Need a new job!!!

So yea due to hiring too many ppl in the customer service department, me, being the least experience gets a kick on the ass and fired in the spot on Thursday night right at 6:00pm. All they told me was".... I'm sorry to say this but, your services will be terminated as of tonight. Our company is going through some changes and we decided to allocate some of our expenses. " YEAH RIGHT!!!! I started the job at 9/27 and it was 'terminated' on 10/28.

I guess I kinda saw it coming because I never had much to do since I got started and when they hired one more person...I knew one of us had to go. The management is really gay there, but the people working there are relatively cool. They told  me the turnover rate was very high and they've seen many come and go within weeks and months. Those who had work there are either very new(months) or very old (years).

On Friday, I contacted the job agency I've worked with and the person there didn't seem too enthusiastic to help me. Apparently, asking for $30,000  annually is just too much I guess.  I've gone outta state to let loose of this upsetting fact and thanks to a friend, it really helped. So Once again, my job search has just resumed!
