W Hotel Christmas
Merry Christmas. Or San Dan Kauile as they say here. I worked at the W Hotel as a model the last two days. I was dressed in a "sexy" santa suit handing being groovy and congenial with all the ritzy guests on hand as I passed out presents and did prize drawing presentations. When I say sexy.. I just mean that I was in a santa suit that looks like something elvis would wear and it was purple because that's what W Hotel is all about. The hotel was founded by the guy who does fashion TV. I made 9000 HK on the Job, only worked a few hours each day, got to pose with a gorgeous girl from Taiwan all day, and I got to stay the night in the hotel with an AMAZING view of Hong Kong. So, even though I worked for Christmas, I'll be able to go on a nice trip with the money.

I have so many pieces of paper with notes on them that say "write in journal about such and such". So since I'm afraid of losing my journal here I'm doing everything digital and this private blog is my journal. I have found some from March and May and all year long. I am SOOO bad at keeping a record for myself. I'm so busy living life, I don't have time to write my memories down. So, now I'm going to do a digital note to write about the Hong Kong movie I did last night. Thursday Dec 18. And dinner at Tacos with Tingting.

This video is moving, makes you think all these great things about this man, it moves you with hope. "This is my America", spine tingling soundtrack music in the background..."The thing that inspires me the most about Obama... is he's not going to be the president of the most powerful lobbyists." What these people aren't singing about is today Obama announced his children will go to a private school, yet he opposes school choice vouchers-the position of the teachers' union who endorsed Obama. Today he was the president of the lobbyists, instead of the people who want to send their children to better schools. The tuition for each of the Obama children will be $18k-20k a year. Vouchers would allow those not as privileged to close the gap and take a step closer to the type of education the rich/Obamas are able to afford. It also creates motivation for ALL schools to compete and provide a better education and retain their students. So much for civil rights and empowering the poor with choice.
I wonder how the people singing in the video feel now. Probably smiling that they're in a video that 3 million people watched.
