Apartment Hunting

Now that I'm pretty sure that I would go work in Fremont, I need housing near Mt. View. I found one that's near Gladys and Tyrella in Mountain view. About 15 miles from Bizlink or Lite-On (I hope I got that position: Sr. Logistics/Sales Support Coordinator). That position is very similar to that with Nanya Technology. I might get the chance to travel to Taiwan and Mexico.

As for the apartment, here's the ad:

Date: 2007-03-31, 11:51AM PDTHi!
a furnished 'loft room' is available NOW in a designer townhouse.

HOUSE: this is a 3 bedrooms / two bathrooms house, very peaceful, full of light, cozy, nicely furnished, plenty of amenities, wireless internet, cable TV, kitchenware, dish and laundry washers, fireplace. Total remodeling just completed: fresh paint and tiled floors throughout the house and the patio, new IKEA furniture etc. Double carport and plenty of parking both off and on the street.

COMPLEX: small group of semi-heichler townhouses, paired by two, surrounding the private park and the swimming pool of the complex. It's very quiet, few kids and few people using the pool. LOCATION: Desirable, quiet and safe neighborhood, right off 85, 101, 237 and Central Xwy. Stevens Creek Park & Trail entry is just outside home. One mile from downtown & Caltrain, half mile from light rail.

ROOM: is a loft above the living area, but closed /sealed from downstairs. Large (14 x 11 ft), hardwood floor + area rug, huge windows on two sides overviewing the park, slanted wood ceiling. Shares a full bathroom (remodeled, with natural stone tiles) with one roomy. The pic was taken before furniture was added. There now are shelves, a huge built-in desk, a full size bed (brand new mattress), chest of drawers, closet area.

ROOMIES: two friendly guys: Andrea, an Italian professional GWM employed at HP, and Dan, a SWM from the east coast who is working on his PhD in Linguistics. The house environment is very nice and relaxed: we have a good balance of sociality, friendship and privacy. If we are home together at night we may enjoy sharing a meal and chat or watch a movie together. We're not home much though due to work and other activities (Andrea teaches an evening Italian class and roams the bay on his sailing boat on sunny weekends). We have no pets.

RENT: $ 750/m, includes DSL, water/sewage, garbage, cable TV; gas and electric (it's about a 150$ value included in the rent!). First and last month requested, no deposit. YOU: young professional, intern or student; shorter term is OK; respectful, easygoing, no drama or drugs, helps keep place clean, no TV addict, not frequent cooker esp.of heavy/smelly food ;-). Occasional guest OK. If you come for short period and won't have a car, you can use use my bycicle.

ALSO: Andrea will be out of the country in June / September and will sub-rent his furnished master bedroom for 1000$/m during that period.

Offer from Bizlink

They finally offer me 50K, which is not a lot. But for a regular non-manager position, I think it's okay. Much better than Nanya Technology. I didn't have to bargain too much, but that was 3 years ago, tho. Anyway, I don't expect much from a Chinese company, period.

Got an appointment with Lite-On, and I'm thrilled about it. Monday at 3:30 pm. With Olga Machado.

貿聯要聘我.

今天接到Yvonne Wang的郵件.說願意聘我, 但是要等Maggie Huang星期四回來在繼續聘請的過程. 我想這是件好事

Interview with Bizlink

I have no idea what to expect with Bizlink, a 52-people company in fremont. They told me I would get the answer whethere or not they would offer me the job in a week. So, we will see.

Continue watching Desperate housewives with Alex. It is a great show and I enjoy watching it. I feel very bored staying with Alex, but it is good that I got a car yesterday and I got my feet back so I can walk now.

Got my new car, 2004 Honda Civic LX

for $13,300, with about 16,000 miles on it. It was a good deal. Too good that I think it was very suspicious that they sold for so low. With such a small profit margin.

Keep on staying with Alex and I feel bad that he had to put up with me for a while. I have no intention of moving away. Well, that's not true. I do look forward to moving away in a week. Definitely by the end of March.

The lives of Others

Went to see a good movie, called the lives of others, it's a german movie about the GDR surveillancing people before the berlin wall tumbled down .

繼續找房子, 汽車, 和工作

沒做什麼. 還是一直在找房子, 汽車, 和工作. 貿聯繼續給我另一個面試, 還真是感激Maggie Huang 這樣幫忙..

El tren y la transportación pública

por la segunda vez tomé el tren para San Francisco. No me gusta mucho ya. El muni en San Francsico tardó demasiado para no poder ver a Sergio hoy. Me molestó mucho ya. No quiero seguir así con la transportación pública. Es muy inconfiable.

Tengo que conseguir un coche. pero el dilema es que no puedo conseguir uno si no tengo empleo. ¿Y cómo ir a las entrevistas si no tengo coche?

Busy looking for a car, an apartment and a job

I think these 3 things are very important right now. I have been back for 4 days now. My headache is still haunting me like crazy.

Caltrain, Chinatown and some fun

It's a cold, rainy day today.
Alx dropped me off at San Carlos Caltrain station. I managed to have my coffee, got the application form from Starbucks and hopped on Caltrain to go up to San Francisco.

So, damn cold. I am still sick from the cold that I got from Mexico. Went to wal-green to get some hygience products and later to Chinatown to get my haircut for the interview with Bizlink and a noodle soup in Chinatown. Got back to Castro to the coffee shop at the corner of 16th and Sanchez. I didn't realized that she's a spanish-speaker. Anyway, it was all good. I had a great time.

Alex picked me up at Safeway in Redwood City. I missed the train that would stop at San Carlos.

Alex is such a good guy. Young. Intelligent. Rich. Hard-working.

First Day alone in the house

Stayed home all day. I guess I wanted to check out Shirley and see how she worked. Sort of spying on her. She's fine. A little below the regular intelligence.

Got hungry and couldn't stand it any longer at 5:00 pm. Didn't eat all day, as a matter of fact. So, I managed to order pizza from Domino's. Yes, the thin-crusted pizza is still the best.

San Leandro Honda

Went over to San Leandro Honda to check out a 2003 Pre-owned certified Honda Civic LX. They asked for $11,988 with about 40,000 miles on it. It was quite a nice deal and we checked it out. The salesman's name is Tony Munundr or something like that.

I couldn't help but suspect that something

Welcome back, Jason.

I was so surprised that the immigration and the customs just let me pass without any questions. I was prepared to answer a lot of questions, but I also wouldn't feel comfortable having to explain a lot, especially the part where I carried a lot of mexican bills with me.

Anyway, felt sick and still got to Japantown with Alex. I didn't know why he did this, but it is very nice of him to put me up with him in his nice condon in San Carlos. We also dropped by Sweet Inspiration.

I feel that I have been relying on the kindness of strangers. I live on it.
