Requesting for higher wage, workers at Honda plant in China have been on a strike for a week now.  What is remarkable about this event is that the Chinese authority is actually letting this strike to proceed and even allowed its heavily regulated media to air them.  Why?  Because China is building a future for its nation.  The experts claim that the reason for such support from the government is to improve China’s consumer market.  It is assumed that the next stage of China’s plan for its economic growth is through the domestic consumer spending boom, and in order to make this plan into reality, Chinese people must earn satisfactory income.  It just amazes me how China is being prospective while many nations, most of them in Europe, are still stuck in retrospective senses as they try to save their nations from the recent recession.

Observing its successful economic growth and political power, I now believe that China has successfully established a government system that fits its people.  President Dmitry Medvedev of Russia stated once that  the democratic system in the United States is unfitting for Russia, because the people are different.  The reason why although the U.S. currently may have the perfect democratic system, no other nation can copy the system 100% and get the same effect is because the people are different.  People from different nations grow up experiencing different cultures, and that affects a nation’s character itself.  No longer should nations focus on which system, democracy or communism, to follow, but search for a system that fits best with the people it is to be utilized.

Now to apply this logic into my life.  So many times, I have followed other’s advices and applied what worked for others for my life.  What I have to understand now is that everyone’s path is different, and what works for them may not work for me.  I constantly need to strive building my own future, instead of hoping that by following others will lead me to similar future as those that I followed.

God, I love you.

Mock class wasn’t bad, and I think I will actually like going to class and participating in the class discussion.  The professors seemed to love what they are doing, and they seemed to be really passionate about teaching.  Overall, I think I enjoyed my visit to tOSU.

I hope she gets well soon… like tomorrow morning so that she can spend some quality time with my sister.

In conclusion, going to the Chevrolet dealership is on my to-do list for tomorrow.

Who knows, may be I’ll come out of that dealership with a nice Camaro that turns into a transformer.

Yes, my nephew and I hunted bears and went searching for pirate’s treasure today.  It has been a hectic ride, and so, without further delay, I bid you good night.

After visiting us for little over a month, my sister and nephew will be leaving for Korea in five days.  After spending the last Sunday as one happy family, I’m left with a bittersweet feeling to let go of this day; more bitter than sweet.  Saying farewells are always difficult.  Although I have never been so worn off by babysitting my nephew who could potentially beat the energizer bunny in a drum roll competition, I’m going to miss him and my sister very much.  The burden of stepping into law school mixed with the feeling of emptiness that I would get after seeing them off to Korea would be like mixing Vodka with a little bit of Tobasco, pepper, and mayonnaise (they call it “The Tapeworm“).  Only thing that stops me from having a nervous breakdown is a firm belief that God will pull me through somehow.  I’m in need of a game plan and God has the perfect plan for me.

Unfortunately, as of right now, these words of Truth reside in my mind and not in my heart.  I’m going to need some alone time with the Lord.
