Not so easy...

After playing around with Adobe Contribute, and doing a bit more research (which is probably what I should've done earlier) I've realized that it's REALLY hard to make my own blogger template. Well not IMPOSSIBLE, but for someone like me who hasn't touched this web-master stuff in years, it's going to be really really tough. I'm not quite sure if I want to put so much effort in it YET.

In the mean time...

Bargaining. It should be in my genes- after all, I'm Asian? (

Definitely not as easy as it seems, especially when you're not ready. I totally failed on that this weekend. I bought this ring from a flea market in Norfolk and I paid full price. Fail on my part.

This is what I should've done.

1. Said some sort of salutation to the vendor (such as "Hi!" or "You have nice jewelery here")
2. Spoke Mandarin to him (that would require me to actually KNOW how to speak Mandarin. Argh.)
3. Brought something smaller than a $20 bill.
4. Combined my purchase with something else.

I guess that's a lesson to learn. I'll be ready next time!
