Surprise!
I promised on the last post that I'd post certain pictures and discuss certain topics. Well, they are coming, but there is a breaking news to cover, and I lost my flash drive that enables me to bring digital photos to work where I upload them. So, no promised photos or discussions for this post...sorry. Meanwhile, you can just laugh at silly pictures of me from my 23rd b-day shindig.
*Some censorship had to be done to protect the reputation of a group
So the breaking news that sort of affects me (and @GT because of its LC account) is that Wachovia, the bank that I currently hold a checking-account in, is going to be taken over by Citigroup as a result of the current US financial crisis. How would you feel if your bank goes out of business? Apparently as a direct consequence to this, some Wachovia customers are now cashing their deposits in fear of potential losing their money. According to AJC's article on the issue,
"A Citigroup spokesman said Wachovia customers shouldn’t notice any changes. Checking and savings accounts and ATMs will operate as normal, and CDs will continue to earn the same interest rates."
Does this mean I shouldn't worry about a thing???
I was actually asked a few days ago by one of my colleague if I were affected in any way by the financial crisis. I told him that the financial market is going through chaos and big companies are going down, but I personally am not influence by it. Well, I surely hope that I was right about that!

Masato, I love the pictures, because quite frankly, I've never seen you express that much emotion in a picture!
Really? Check facebook again.
I remember on my 23rd birthday, I went to Grand Rapids to... well, I better just keep that to myself.
