Long Awaited (Brief) Update

Wow… it’s been nearly 5 months since my last post but thing have been pretty hectice with the near ending of the audit busy season. Overall, it wasn’t too bad. It was definitely quite challenging at times as well as pretty brutal hours, but it was quite an experience in which I learend a great deal.

My weekend was the norm. I had my thrid CPA Exam (Audit) Saturday morning at 9am. It is suppose to be a 4.5 hour exam but knowing me and how cool I am, I finished an hour or two early. =)  I don’t really know how it went. There’s always uncertainty on how CPA exams go–not only for me, but for everyone else. But all and all, I think it went fairly decent. Afterwards, went out to eat at Champagne French Bakery and ordered breakfast stuff at 2 in the afternoon. I love breakfast. I must say it is my favorite meal of the day, not to mention the most important! Rest of the day and weekend consisted of catching up on shows and regular chores.

Other than that, I’ve just been doing the usual at taking a stab at the stock market. Not doing too bad since I started in early January 2009.

Practice invest


When I get some time off from work which should be in the coming week or so, my goal is to redo my website and blog. That means some posts will probably be gone and a lot of the URLs will differ, but I will do my best redirect those “page not found” errors to the right web address. So stay tune for my new website next weekend!

Until next time!
