SCAM -- I refuse to be the next of kin.

So I received a letter from Barrister Zaman Bukhari of Zaman and Associates . I have no idea who he/she is, but whoever this person is offering me some monetary values from his late friend's posessions. I copied and pasted a part of the email I got.
I quote, "My contacting you is to assist in receiving and distributing the left assets which includes some monetary values in a dormicilliary account at a local bank before it is confiscated or declared as unserviceable account because i have been issued some notice by the bank to contact the next of kin to my late client to come forward to make the claims and have the account operated."
While reading the email, the big question went through my mind: what makes me the ideal candidate to receive this unknown inheritance?
This is a pretty lame answer. I quote, "My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my late client, Since it happens that you share the same last name{V??????} which is actually the key to put you forward as the next of kin and then have the funds paid to you after which we can then share the total amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage."
Seriously, who would buy this kind of stuff? First of all, I doubt if there is anyone in Malaysia (where the email claims to originate) who share the same last name as me. So, sorry to Mr/Mrs Bukhari, I can't help him/her. I think this whole thing is just a scam and I hope that people out there don't fall victims of this kind of stuff. Shame on whoever is trying to plot this! It's surprising that the law firm they claim to belong to actually have a website. I googled it!

wasssup?

Although the past few weeks were pretty rough back home, I have survived. I enjoy my job and the routine of everyday life doesn't bother me. I guess I can say I am content.
To stay happy with the winter season, I have been snowboarding. I am getting better and better at it. I hope that soon I will have the guts to go over jumps and to speed like a lightning down the mountains :-)
On Valentine's day, someone told me that it is a single's awareness day. Well, I am aware of this fact but I am happy I am single. Me and a bunch of girlsfriends got together to eat out at Macaroni Grills to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was yami food! We all then came home and had other people come over to watch a movie and have treats.

Also on this day, I went to a basketball game with one of my mission friends to watch the U play Air force and the U won. YAY! It was a good game an I was proud of myself that I cheered for my school. lol!

I'm working for non-profit!

My dream job would be to travel the world and take pictures for National Geographic. I mentioned that in one of the many job interviews I have had during the last few months. They thought it was ambitious! or to live somewhere in the countryside of some developing countries and teach people how to use their resources in a sustainable manner, or conduct tours around the world and inspire visitors about the beauty of diversity and culture.
Oh well! I don't know if I will ever get to any of these. I am one of those people who studied something and then end up doing a total different thing.
But I am finally "officially" employed. I work for the city (Parks and Recreation) and I am a manager of a center that is assisting refugees and low-income people with their education and recreation activities. My area of studies was in Parks and Recreation so at least I am in the right track. Hey, and this is a non-profit organization, isn't that what I want?
There are other jobs that pay better but I'll have to give up a lot of things if I take them. And this is the hardest part -- making decision. I have put in some thoughts and I think I am sticking with the non-profit one. I am sure this will give me a peace of mind.

the world of dolls

While going through some people's blog. I came across some interesting stuff. Well, I don't know. I guess with our world virtually changing, people come up with all of these ideas for hobbies. Meet Violet where you will see her as a pretty doll who has friends like Nora and Inky. They are all dolls who travel to meet other dolls !!!
