Epic fail

Hey Reader,

Today I went for an interview, and it was an epic fail, lol! Why? They have started asking some simple technical questions, which I forgot the answers to, since I learned them 3 years ago :( So now I am back home reviewing my materials! Wish me luck in my job hunt!!!!

I'll keep you posted!

Dude, what a drag!

Hey, yo Reader!

I gotta go back to Ukraine, oh well I guess that is not so much of news... But anyway as I said earlier I am partly sad/happy to go back. The funny thing is that some of my friends envy me in a way that I am going back and I envy them in a way that they can stay. It is a trade off and no one knows which way is the right way!

Another short story is also here. While flying to NY I have a weight limit of 50 pounds per piece and some carry on options. But when flying from NY to Kiev I have a limit of 60 pounds per piece and only one carry on. Dude, what a drag!Can't all airlines establish some kind of compliance program? Although they all might have different airplanes so it might be difficult. So, I will have to repack in NY, I just hope I can make it without paying extra. Also I have so much stuff that I mailed some of it home and still everything can't fit , have to throw away some stuff. Stuff I will miss you :(((((

Well I'll keep you posted, soon I will be in Ukraine! So Wukelan Jian!(See you in Ukraine)

Take Care,

Luo Ma

So what's next, any bets?

I'll keep you posted,

Anniversary Release and Big Change

Hello Reader!

I am glad to tell you that today's post #47 is an anniversary release.Why? Because starting today the number of visitors to this blog exceeds 500!!!! WOWWOWOWOWOW!!! Donno about you but wo hen gaoxing (I am very happy).

Also today, I have to announce a big change. On February 19 I will go back to Ukraine. Is this good or bad for me? Wo bu zhi dao (I don't know). Career wise (or let's say salary wise) it might not be the best move, but having no job here at all sucks even more. Part of me is happy to see my father, grandma Shura, grandpa Vasia, other relatives and the last but certainly not the least my girlfriend(who by the way does her best to ignore this blog, lol). However the other part of me is sad to leave Boston. My life has been established here, things like browsing internet, calling home on both phone and skype, hanging out with Friends, playing Fifa with W, trips and sleepover in Lawrence became important part of my life. And now I feel sad to let them go :'(

Anyway lets add more joy to this post. My roomie got PS3 so now I play a lot and by the way the girl who ignores my blog gets jealous that I play a lot. Oh, even PS3 became and integral part of my life and life without it just wont be the same. Oh well I tried to add more joy to this post but it just doesn't seem to work out.

I'll keep you posted!

P.S. This is probably the most personal post ever.
P.P.S Let's meet before I leave ?
P.P.P.S I will arrive to Ukraine on Friday, February 20 at 11.25 AM.

Is Computer Male or Female ???

Reader, today we are gonna look at computers,so without further waiting here it comes:

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
- "House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa". "Pencil", however, is masculine: "el lapiz."
A student asked what gender is 'computer? Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval;
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it. The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ("el computador", because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
The women won.
(Guys, that's a joke!)

I'll keep you posted!
