100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 45 (May 4)

Bought some pine nuts for the first time on May 4.  Yes, my friend, backdating my Happy Days Challenge way back in May.

I remember eating pine nuts when I was a kid.  Love the nutty flavor, but, we haven't buy pine nuts for decades (feels like haven't buy them for decades).  Well, they are pricey is one of the reasons, the other is pine nuts go bad easily.  Basically, we have to buy them and eat them within a week or less if we don't put them inside the fridge.

Even though pine nuts are full of antioxidants and good for vision health, I only bought a handful for us to eat.  Next time when the pine nuts are on special, maybe I'll buy some more.

100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 99 (June 27)

My friends asked how I can keep backdating my Happy Days Challenge.  Easy, I have photo records.  Well, I can just post my photos.  The photos maybe meaningful for me, but, it would be ??? for other people.  A year or more later, if I see the photos, it might also be like ??? for me.  Please bear with me.  Almost there, my friends.

In my blog post Noto Sans CJK is not for picky users, I mentioned about I'd like to know how to create my own fonts.  Today (June 27), I found a free online service to achieve this goal.

This site is called PaintFont.com.

PaintFont.com will convert our drawings and our handwriting into vector fonts.  Then, we can install and use the fonts in our computers, tablets and phones.  The good things are: 1. we can create as many fonts as we want free of charge.  2. we own the copyright of the fonts we made.  Thank you PaintFont.com.

Looks like making our own fonts is not too complicated.

1. Select the language and characters we like
2. Get template(s) as PDF or PNG files
3. Fill out, scan and upload the template(s)
4. Let the PaintFont.com create the fonts

Sounds easy enough, right?  I still haven't try this site yet.  Some of my friends tried it and they like the fonts they made.  Stay tuned, my friends.  If I created my own fonts, I'll show you in my blog post.

July 5, 2015 Vancouver - The Final

USA (FIFA ranking # 2) vs Japan (FIFA ranking # 4)

The Result

5 - 2


Updated on July 6, 2015
How could the result be like this?  5 - 2 ?  What happened to team Japan ?  I think this is about the "luck" element in my blog post My WWC 2015 the Round of 16 Prediction.

"This is what I always say, in competitive sports, no matter how good you are, you win or not also heavily depends on luck."

My philosophy of winning in competitive sports is:
  • 10% of talent
  • 10% of practice
  • 50% of financial support
  • 30% of luck

Well, team Japan was lucky to be in the final two.  But looks like they used up their luck just to be in the final two.  Unfortunately, they couldn't be the campaign again.  Congratulations, team USA !! 


It is Japan vs USA again this year.  
Will the defending campaign, team Japan win again?

If my prediction for this match is also wrong, 
just like the match between Germany and England, 
then, team USA will get the trophy?

We will know the Trophy Winner very soon !!

Sorry, I am going to watch TV now. 



May the best team win ! 


What will your prediction be?  Which team are you rooting for?
 


Thank you Team Canada !!!!!!
Thank you for the great work !!!!!!

My American friends, who live in Canada, are having lots of fun celebrating both Canada Day (July 1) and Independence Day (July 4) this week.

They have cats and dogs.  For their pets' safety, they take extra care to keep their pets indoors and far away from noisy people, fireworks and alcohol.

I remember one of my boyfriends, sorry, ex-boyfriends, told me he used to keep his cat indoors on Halloween for safety.  But he never mentioned about doing the same on Canada Day.

Anyways, have a fun and safe Independence Day weekend !
