More/Less

My oh so worried weekend turned out to be a great one! Some chill time with myself to read and recollect my brain. Usually, I found myself listening to counselors online on relationship and personal building when I am alone.

I always know exactly what I have to do to get myself to become the person that I want, need, should and must be. Because I know my motive for action 90% of the case, follow through is quite smooth once I commit.

It all comes down to planning. Despite what other people say, I am a great planner when it comes down to fulfilling my own desires. So I did. I wanted to go for a run and then go to the dog park. Since I do not want to be completely alone, I found me a friend. His name is Anthony Robbins.!! The motivational, action coach who reminds me of who I am and what I believe. He lectures on things that I used to lecture to my branch managers.  He even uses the same quotes I used :)

"A Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment"

Plan 1. transfer Tony Robbins into my ipod.
Plan 2. Catch up on my reading for Adversity advantage and hacker news
Plan 3. Run
Plan 4. Dog Park.

Pleasant surprise comes in package! Katy and Fozzy decided to join Mila and I. What I lovely surprise and got me real excited. I really enjoy spending time with Katy. Past two months we have really bonded. I believe it is because she likes to share and I have learned the value of sharing. She becomes my coach on coping mechanism and perspective from experience. I give her my voice of experience 'we see things as we are not as they are'

I really like the fact that how much she loves James. I really adore it. However, James and I don't have much to say to each other.

Sunday was even more exciting. Complete full day of fun!

Had a meeting with lawyer to go over operating agreement which turned out to be a big pile of mess because I did not do it right. Mixed up independent contractor agreement with operating. More like got myself confused.  Next version he shall look at should be better. My content dealing with money between co-founders were not complete.

Ben and I went on a hike. MailBOX, the steepest hike you can find along i90. I had no idea I did not want to go further east. I did not want to be around crowds of people. so I decided to go on adventure, just drive towards the mountain and see what happens. We eventually ended up on this hike called 'mailbox' which we ignored, did not pay attention to the warning sign and continued. 2.5miles 4000 feet elevation is what we've read when we came down along with rescue team story. Indeed it was dangerous because it was extremely steep and wet and slippery due to snow. However, this is the exact type of hike I have been looking for all along. Mila and Fozzy were champs! Fozzy was loaded with spring, Mila carried her own hiking bag pack and carried herself no problem. I was sweating like a pig, but loved how the mountain was making my legs feel! Sadly, Ben could not keep up. Later he told that he really enjoyed it and felt great. As usual, Ben and I had very deep conversation about life and self-respect, losing weight, clarity on life, artificial intelligence, Tony Robbins, human interaction, etc

After dropping off Ben, I went to go meet up with Jamie. It was so great to see her. Reminded me of our past and all the great times. I gave her a huge hug. We got past our awkward moment at the starbucks and then went for a walk to discovery park. It was a  long walk but we had a great time. We laughed, joked, and shared our stories of missing 3 years of stories. She is currently moving. She will be living in capitol hill, I suspect we will be seeing each other much frequently from now on. She left her jacket in my car, so definitely will see her in short time. I was glad to see her having more energy and loose. I hope she carries that, before she was way too boring.

More news on today. VJ decided to put a hold on AppMe. I was very disappointed but it gives me a chance and time to really focus on Tippr. Tippr training ended today. I have San Franciso Market, along with Facebook and NBC. There are low number of subscribers than I would like.  However, I could make a big difference by leveraging NBC and Facebook brand awareness and popularity.  I created many accounts on major deal sites under chi.lee@tippr.com along with salesfore, wiki.tippr.com and created a new google voice number with 510 area code.

I am bummed by the fact that I have to return iPad. I think I will buy a iPad2. Debating whether I want the wireless or just wi-fi.

This week is very full. Tomorrow Seolah is coming up. Possibly hanging with Lindsey too but with her flaky behavior, greater chance she will blow it off. Wednesday is a deep house cleaning day with roommates, possible date with Jamie if I call her. Alicia is spending the night on thurs. Big fat steak dinner with @rick's on friday. hopefully some clam digging time on the weekend. Gonna have to change my workout time to be early morning.

BEST NEWS!!!

Mathias is finally on board and fully committed. He gave me so much doubt when I was interviewing him that I was nervous afterwards. He even tried to turn down the contract on Friday! Anyways,  now I have a complete team to really push the app. Who knows, I might actually be able to launch it in summer which will give us a huge opportunity, leveraging high productivity. Mathias does not do php, decided to write the API with Java. It should be interesting. We had almost two hours of chat over pint of beer. We had so many things in common other than fact that he likes dry humor. I like them too but I can't create one.

I have very very different personality type in this team. This is going to require next level of challenge in leadership that I have never experienced.
