Well, May has been an exceptionally challenging month, and I am thoroughly glad that it is over. I think for young adults, problems fall into three main buckets: work, money, and relationships. May was the perfect storm as all three of these buckets decided to collide and erupt all at the same time. Life got knocked out of balance for a bit there.

In either case, through this mess, I came across a great song from P.O.D. entitled, "It Can't Rain Everyday" from their latest album, "When Angels and Serpents Dance."


This was a quite uplifting song that helped and I'm making this my theme song for May. In either case, the worse is over, and life is regaining a new equilibrium.

Very happy it's June.

I'm starting to catch up in my backlog of photos. Here's a photo set from the first NHL Hockey game that I've been to. The match was the Vancouver Canucks VS the San Jose Sharks. This was a nice way to start Adam & Sarah's California trip in January. What's nice about hockey down here is, the tickets are very affordable when compared to Vancouver hockey tickets. It would have been a crime not to go see the Canucks down here in San Jose.


Enjoy.

Currently crazy busy, so I'm writing a short piece. I have experienced the first Californian heat wave of the season, and boy was it a sizzler. I first learned of this when I was sitting at my computer, and I saw a weather icon I had never seen before. It was a sizzling thermometer. I thought... hmmm.... that can't be good.


Unfortunately, the weather forecast wasn't quite right, it was much worse. This is what the week looked like: Wednesday 37C, Thursday 41C, Friday 41C, Saturday 37C. When I stepped outside on Thursday, there was this rushing hot wind everywhere, and this strange haze because I guess water was evaporating very rapidly that day. In either case, very glad my office has air conditioning. Even though the temperatures were fairly high, it wasn't as bad as a hot day in Victoria, simply because Silicon Valley has a dry heat. Victoria has a humid heat.

Thankfully my apartment is fairly well insulated, so it wasn't too bad inside.
