2009: A Year in Review

Published on December 31, 2009 in life and politics.

Here is a list of sig­nif­i­cant events that hap­pened in 2009 that I have put together. If I am miss­ing any impor­tant events, please feel free to com­ment here.

Jan­u­ary

Barack Obama was inau­gu­rated as the 44th Pres­i­dent of the United States.

Oppo­si­tion Leader Michael Ignati­eff sup­ports the Minor­ity Con­ser­v­a­tive Party Fed­eral Budget.

The Cana­dian Econ­omy lost 129,000 jobs in Jan­u­ary 2009 with unem­ploy­ment ris­ing to 7.2%. It was an all-time record in Canada. Despite it being a record, it is lower than the unem­ploy­ment rate in the United States (7.6%). Con­tinue read­ing ‘2009: A Year in Review’

Upcoming Goals

Published on December 14, 2009 in education, life and politics.

Thanks to Raul Pacheco on Twit­ter, I have decided to set my own goals for 2010.  In addi­tion, thanks to Tay­lor “Loren” on Twit­ter, I have decided to use Lul­ule­mon Goal­tender to set my goals.

Accord­ing to the web­site, “a goal is a writ­ten, mea­sur­able state­ment with a spe­cific sub­ject and a dead­line.  A goal is a mile­stone in the cre­ation of [us] ideal life.  A goal is what inspires [us] to do the work every­day.” Con­tinue read­ing ‘Upcom­ing Goals’

Hello World

Published on December 8, 2009 in life.

hello world!  It is exams in most post-secondary insti­tu­tions in British Colum­bia. Right now, I should be study­ing for Lin­ear Alge­bra.  Instead, I decided to do some­thing with this web­site while Twit­ter was down due to “over­load”.  For over 3–4 months, this web­site has existed but with no content.

I will be using this place as a place to post “me” cen­tered con­tent. It would fea­ture con­tent that I find inter­est­ing or mate­ri­als that I have an opin­ion about.  Some­times I will even post a bit about myself so that you can learn more about me. You should expect pic­tures and sum­maries about the events that I went to. If you have been a vis­i­tor of my “u” web­site (uni­ver­sity), I will still be work­ing on that website.
