Long Overdue Blog Entry

Yeah I know, It's been over 2-months since I last posted anything on my blog. I credit laziness more than anything else. My brother calls me a "poor journalist"...I really can't argue w/ that notion. But damn, my last entry was so good, I thought I let everyone soak it in for awhile first. At anyrate, with that said, I am a competitive person and like to take on challenges...therefore, I will promise to update the "life and times of J-Do" at least once a week. If I fail at the task, the first response from any reader will receive a special prize yet to be determined. I'm open for suggestions.

So what have I been up to for the last few months...I guess that's the question many want the answer too. Well besides work, which encompasses the majority of my time, I mainly hang out at the local coffee shops. These are nothing like what Orange County has to offer but you can't beat a cup of iced coffee for .50!

This past weekend I was in Singapore. It was a company paid trip for the extended Holiday. April 30th and May 1st are National Holidays here in Vietnam, celebrating Labor Day (May 1st) and Independence Day (April 30th). Depending on who you ask (which is still many) they don't necessarily celebrate independence but remember it more as the "Fall of Saigon". At anyrate, I gladly took the days off and enjoyed my time there w/ some co-workers. It was nice trip...I got to see the town and experienced the Singapore Zoo, Singapore Bird Park, and Singapore Aquarium. Here are a few pics of our trip:

Anyone remember the "shy brother" scene from the Five Heartbeats?

Peace out! See ya in about a week, maybe sooner!
