This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

I suspect that since the 21st century, for any, or at least almost any, young generation in North America and East Asia, the future always looks grim.
Maybe it's ultimately because the power within the society does not belong to them but always belongs to the middle-aged population, relatively?
Without exception, the 20 somethings in Canada and China feel quite blue.

What a scene.
Today I passed by the Holiday Inn at the China Town. Almost all over its wall, are small colorful posts reading "CSN lock-outs" and "Scabs".
Android has been eating its competitors' lunch.
What exactly is Google's grand plan behind the particular mobile OS platform?

Dell has been scrambling and buying up assets and companies in the fields of VOIP, cloud computing, and so on.
Anyways, its traditional PC business has been declining horribly in recent quarters.
Currently it's conventional Windows computer makers such as Dell and Acer whose graves are being dug. Now is their moment of truth.

I heard from an acquaintance that a full-time real estate agent in Montreal, who's been several years in the trade, has not closed a single deal this year, which is a generally booming year for the housing market in Montreal. It's already the beginning of September right now.
Think about how much pressure he feels when he gets up everyday and drives around and goes about his work of selling houses.
Being a real estate agent is a high-cost and high-maintenance occupation.

You beautify your hair by yourself with expensive or primitive hair styling products and go about your daily life.
You use your own sophisticated or rudimentary computing devices to deal with the world day in and day out.
Nonetheless, we can realize how empowered a modern individual is.

American public companies' moves generally are not fresh, but they look new in the eyes of the public, including myself.
Because the power of those companies is so significant that they provide fresher and comparatively reliable alternatives.

Just now, I tried out listening to songs by a few singers, such as Of Montreal, Mobile, Joey Cape, and Bahamas.
Still, among them, Norah Jones is the only one in whose music I drown myself and did so quite easily.

Many people remember the glamour of the great start-ups such as Microsoft, Google, and Facebook, but they forget the millions of others which fell into oblivion.
Not only I wanna see the obvious, but also I wanna see the oblivious.
Many Americans and Canadians advocate that education is the key to solve the structural unemployment problem.
If they are mentioning college level career education such as welding, then I don't know much about it and can't say anything really.
But, if they are talking about post-secondary academic education, then they are ignoring the problem that university academic education probably is increasingly irrelevant both to the real world and to the truths so that it is actually scuttling the labor market instead of helping it.
