After working non-stopped for 6-7 weeks, I finally got some personal time to have a hair cut appointment.  My stylist has consulted with me for 5 minutes and I have decided to go with something shorter for hot and humid Hawaii summer season.  Viola, the picture is my after-make over.  Please excuse the background where my cats were trying to make a stand on top of my shopping bags.

(For those with sharp eyes, they can tell the photo is taken by a webcam.  Just want to take it and go and take a full shower after a work-out session.)

Ever since, Burberry has discontinued Canine Fashion last Fall, I was having a bit blue feeling - no more fashion or clothes for my dog.  To emphasize how much do I care about my dog, well, my dog received his first Burberry sweater before I did.  I did buy my clothes to match my dog’s outfits in Canada - quite extreme huh?  Well, I love him and that’s all I can say the least.

Today, I went to Nordstrom.  Guess what, I’ve found something really nice for my dog.  It’s Juicy Doggy Couture!  I got the one which said, “My Dog for President” plus a nice hood attached.  The material is pretty decent too - cotton with small blend of spandex.  My dog loves skin-tight clothes and this material is perfect for him.  The only thing that I hope Juicy Couture can improve is option for colour.  I don’t like black and the only thing that is available is pink.  I got the one with a more taupe in it and it won’t look too bad on my male dog.  Besides, pink is hot for man fashion now.  To complete the story, I have bought a pink T-shirt and pink blouse for my parents.  That concluded my shopping trip this evening.

I am getting a bit more concerned about nowadays, applicants never bother much to compose a well written cover letter before sending their resumes along.  Occasionally, I did receive resume and “memo” looking cover letter: “Hey man, I am looking for a job, give me a ring.” and the fun part was, these candidates’ expected salary range = $80K USD and up.  Speaking of resumes, I received more and more PHOTO attached or GIF/JPEG “artworks” resumes…I don’t mind if those photos are professionally taken or those art works are well rendered - the poorest things are - they are too low-resolution, too dimmed, too yellow, too sloppy…Anyway, long story short, if you want a potential employer to look at your application, please have a decency to write or at least “copy” a professional cover letter along with your resume.  Nothing worse than having bunch of U-Grads submitted their ill-prepared package in such a care-free fashion.
