Weekend Confession – life is more than expecting the unexpected

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

OK. I wished everyone a good holiday season and a happy new year. For me, it was not a great start of holiday season at the end of year 2008. I don’t want to scare you, but my wife and I am OK. No major injury after crashing our Toyota Sequoia on the way to Houston, TX for Christmas and New year.

After the crash, my wife and I have more appreciation about others and believe that we have been saved by the cow we killed.

I warn you that the following photo won’t be pretty!

Weekend Confession – Walk Between Life and Death

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Superstition Mountain

Just yesterday, I almost lost my dear wife while hiking in the Superstition Mountain, AZ. I am no kidding. I felt that we were walking on the thin line between life and death. It’s matter of seconds. I am so glad that my wife is back and we really really appreciate those who have helped her get through the tough time.

The above photo was taken a few moment before my wife collapsed. It was about 5:00PM and it’s getting darker and cold. I was on my way down to the parking lot, because she and her girl friend are so tired after 6 hour hiking under the cold weather. I was tired too, but I can still walk fast. We thought it would be a good idea for me to hike down to the parking lot and drive our car to the nearest campground to meet my wife and her girl friend.

The trail seems much longer in the dark. So I decided to walk alone!

Cruise to Mexico

I am so glad that I was able to make a guest post about my cruise trip to Mexico on Debo Hobo dot Com – Travel Entrepreneur. It is about how you can take a short cruise trip to Mexico while saving some money and enjoy your life. We often have so many excuses not to fairly treat ourselves, but we also forgot that we should give a fair treat to our families. Taking families on to a fun cruise trip to Mexico is one of the best way to get your family spirit together. It helps put yourself back together and move forward on your life, journey and make your own destiny.

Weekend Confession – Enjoy life by giving out and taking in

Give it out and Take it in

This is one of the very nice restored antique car photo I took this morning at the 25th annual Toys for Tot’s event at Wickenburg, Arizona. It was a cloudy and cool day to hang out with car fans. I have to admit that I am not a big antique car fan, but my wife and I had good time to take photos of them with my digital camera.

2008 Lost Dutchman Trail Hiking

It’s never a better time to hike in the mountain in Phoenix. Arizona. Winter is the best season for me try out some cool trail. My wife and love hiking. We’ve work so hard from Monday to Friday. We deserve some time to relax and do some real exercise. As a self-starter Internet Entrepreneur, I always believe that we should work hard and play hard.

After reading Justin Wright’s The Peralta Trail post, who recently have a great post on Darren’s Problogger about 5 Valuable Lessons You Can Learn From Blogging. I think it’s good idea to share my real life experience on my blog.

The is not the first time we hike at Lost Dutchman Trail. You can find more information about the Lost Dutchman Trail at Arizona State Park web site.

We got up pretty early at 7:00AM and arrival at the trail head at about 8:00AM. The sun was behind the mountain. It was a very beautiful cool day to start with. That’s the beauty to hike in Arizona in Winter.
