Have you ever encounter on of those Kamikaze deliver people on bike? If you have not, consider yourself lucky; the city is full of them. They are the product of survival to many restaurants.
As time goes by the competition became intense. The burden for them to deliver their food in the shortest of time to their customers became a burden for the delivery person.
A lot of them are immigrants; they speak little English let alone traffic rules. I suppose in their native land there is no traffic rule to follow. There for can blame them from riding on the wrong side of the road. Running traffic lights. I myself get mold down by these guys at least three or four times a week.
While everyone had to make a living, that is fair enough, but traffic rules must be obeyed. You can call me old fashioned. Can't imagine got hit by these delivery guys while crossing the city street? We have plenty to watch for while crossing the street already, the road raged drivers. The predestines that bump in to you, the flying pigeon droppings, added to the long lists of things to watch for, the Kamikaze delivery guys.
Therefore when some one made a proposal the city should impose fine for these delivery guys. I think a better solution should be fine the restaurant owners, and educated the bike delivery guys. My opinion is that if you do not know the rules in the first place how can they be expected to follow the rules.
One more thing came to mind these guys do not wear protective gear either. I suppose the restaurant own the bike that they are riding; therefore the restaurants should supply them with protective helmet. What are you thought on the subject?
Most importantly, these guys really need to obey the law, because some tragic happening to them all.

Visiting family
How often did you pay your family a visit?
I suppose not often enough. I often heard my friends said that they “HAVE TO” spend the weekend with their parents. As if they rather stay away. Is it really that horrible to spend time with family?
We are only blessed with one set of birth family, that is all we got. Our parents gave us life, and make sacrifies because of us. Once we flew the cop does that means we cut all ties. We are not birds, we are human, at least I think I am.
Some times distance prevent us from being with family as often as we could, visits reduce to holidays or an occasional calls. Some of our parents or siblings are computer savvay. That makes staying in touch a lot easier. However, I find that phone calls are a lot more acceptable. These days with “ SKYPE” or inter net phone. We can actually talk in real time with our families. There is nothing can replace seeing someone rather than just their voice on the phone line.
We do not have family visit in the city often, for start, I live in NYC, we have everything but space. Many families use to suburban living, found our average apartments in Manhattan rather uncomfortable.
For the rest of us, the anticipation of the arrival of families seems to drain every ounce of my energy. Trying to balance work and visiting families seems like a momunental task at time. However once family arrived, we will found that all the worries are not necessary.
Family grow up with you, understand your personality, no matter how long it has been since you saw each other last, or the distance that keeps you apart. There will be no pretending, no apologie necessary. They settle in. Not too comfortably, but they did.
I had an enjoyable family visit recently. After all the tourist destinations we took a rare opportunity to take a stroll thru Central Park. I ran through the park in many of my exercise morning runs, I have never taken the time to appreciate the beauty, while staying on the course. With visitors strolling on foot, allow you to flash back on any other times, when your parents were young and able, and siblings were care free to life. Those times had gone by all we have left is memories, and each other, that makes each family visits the more important.
While US Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner. Many of us may be planning a trip to get away from the city. Why not go home for a visits.

To Talk or Not To Talk
That is my question here.
After you come on board of a flight and finally find your seat. You struggled to squeeze your luggage into the super small overhead bend, you were exhausted, cramping into your economy class seat, while trying to adjust to your new environment, buckling your seat belt, checked out the exit. Some one craw in right next to you, before you even have the chance to look up, you heard that dragged word. “Hello”
In a polite society we are obligated to return a greeting. More like “How are you in the morning” in the office, more often than not no one really stop and listen to your story. The fear in this case in the cabin is that I have no place to escape. It is a captive situation. The fear of the greeting will turn into a prolonged conversation lasted the duration of the trip make me hesitate to reply, what will you do?
Again out of the blue, some one sit next to me without utter a word, offer me a piece of gum. While I appreciate his generosity, I am also being self-conscious if I need to check my oral hygiene. Again, not sure if that is a bribe to start a conversation, or a friendly gesture.
On my return flight it happened again, someone site next to me for the entire trip, buried herself in her reading materials, again upon landing she offer me a piece of gum. That really got me curious. Is that I, or is that my breath that need my attention? But there is no indication that I should be embarrassed of. May be I am over reacted.
What about people that felt asleep before the flight took off, snoring loudly and rested their head on your shoulder? Should you weak them up, or let it be? What would you do? May be say something?
There are passengers that were so over weighted, can even fit into their slim size seat. That was miserable to see him took every chance to stood up thru the entire flight. May be that is the idea that some airlines are thinking of, standing room only flights. Listen airlines, this is not a bus trip; I like to have my seat for the least. You took away, the sandwhiches, we have to purchase travel sizes toilettes, pay for check luggage, less flights getting to the destination, and where is my peanuts? I give up.
There are many encounters on any given flight, I can hardly write it all down unless I experienced it first hand it is not getting into this blog. If you have anything you have encountered on your travel, please comments. I am sure it is a lot more interesting than the chewing gum I was offered over my weekend flights.

Why Jobs In The Office Always Due Yesterday
As usual I went to the preparation depart. (Comp department) to check on one of my project in progress, what they do in the comp department in advertising agency is try to make and idea, from a concept to a real piece, that can be touch and feel it in my hand.
I ask them if they will make the deadline for the final approval this evening, they told me jokingly; “Do I ever realize that all the jobs that go thru the department is always due yesterday”.
Why did that really means? Why are we not on the schedule? What happen to the scheduling and traffic departments that were responsible for all the job flow? Just like dropping a package off at FedEx I don’t care how it gets there? Just wanted it gets there when it was promise right?
Let’s be honest. I actually knew the root cause of most of the delay. Creative people are legendary in changing their minds. Nothing can make them happy. If they have the time to fine-tune any projects, they will make endless alternations until time ran out. Is that fair to the other colleague on the receiving end? May be not. But that is creative process. How do we be certain that we created now is the best solution.
Can we change the process? Not sure about that either. In a creative world, we often over think any subjects. We may make an 180ยบ turn around eventually. On the other hand, looking a problem from a different prospective, may take us to an entirely new dimension, that could lead to a break thru concepts, which is timeless. Does that mean it is justified to causing delay or creating a haven for procrastinators? I have no answer to that either.
I am not sure it is a practice happens across the business world. However, I knew people would try to perfect their presentation until time ran out. The different is, they can work this out on their own with out involving other departments, and cause everyone to stay late, or over time.
The whole point is, we are all taking more than our share these days, trying to be effective and multi tasking. However if our action causing others to suffer the consequences, than it defeated the purpose of what ever we are trying to achieve.
The bottom line, respect others personal time.
Love to hear from you.

Why Do We Grocery Shopping All The Time
New Yorker with the infamous grocery brown bag, the bags are not all brown any more, but we still see New Yorkers with grocery bag in hand after work.
That is because if you live in Manhattan. Most of us do not have a car. Even if we do have one, the few full service grocery stores available on the island are usually out of the way. That means loading up once a week with grocery is out of the question.
However that is also the reason that made our grocery shopping a unique experience. A friend of mine just move to Manhattan recently told me that he had so much to do on any given nights, was too tire to even go shopping. He chooses to go on line to grocery shop, never mind dragging those bags home, while that may be a convenience way to get your grocery done, but missed out on the grocery shopping experience, that is all New York.
We do not just shop to buy food. We buy to enjoy the experience. We eat out on an average 6-8 times a week. We can take left over home, or order take out, there is really no need to grocery shop. However, when we do, we usually go the distance to get just the best the city had to offer. You may have your favorite bakery in midtown, cheese shop in Soho, Your butcher may be in the Upper Eastside, and for vegetables you may prefer to go to a farmer’s Marker. How can you get a grocery list accomplish in one single trip. The fact is you don’t.
On the other hand, most of us do not purchase large quantities of food at one time because we do not have room in the freezer, after that gallon of ice cream, vodka, and ice for our cocktails, there is little place for food. That’s why it seems like to do our shopping everyday,
Most people in other country do it, why are we the only one doing it more often than people live in other city? Do you want your food fresh?
Most people from the outside may think we are wasting a lot of time fussing over food. The facts we just make a short stop on our way home. No fuss at all. Next time when you are visiting NY, try the New Yorker ways of shopping. You will like it.

Are You On The Driver Seat of Your Life?
I got a message from Carins and Vanuatu down under in “the Oz land”. If you are one of those pale skin city people have no idea where these places are. Please Google it. Then you will understand why it is special.
Anyway. The email said during travel by chance he met a lovely Asian girl at the Daintree rain forest. (This is not South Pacific the Broadway revival). She is an interior designer from Canada in her early 30’s. Although she has been very successful in her career, one day she woke up and realized that the last 10 years zipped by like a flash. She has had no time to live her life, with no one to love. One day she make that big decision, she quit her job, sold her house and is on a round the world tour, before she make her life contribution as a volunteer in an orphanage in Uganda. She wants to do something more meaningful with her life before it is too late.
I admire her courage, and principle. However moving to Uganda may be a little extreme? Her effort to help with humanities on the other hand is a noble cause.
We live in a hard working nation; we pay little attention to appreciate life like people live in other parts of the world does. Work is essential to our life, it is the only way to earn a living, it also helps keep us socially engaged, and our brain exercised. Our work life may be a little more vigorous than most other countries. That is because we live in a materialistic society. We work so we can obtain what we wanted, rather than just life needs.
Therefore we work long hours. The more we work, the more materialistic we became, in turn we have to work even harder at satisfy our longing for more. It is a never-ending circle.
Some of us are over achievers, we strive on our success, we set unrealistic goals, and try hard to move mountain to achieve it. However time will not hold off progression for us, when we spend our whole life working, like a flash of light, life is slipping away faster than water in my palm. When we finally woke up, it may be too late. Does it worth it. This is up to you to decide.
Before I got the email I had been thinking on my next move in my life as well. Perhaps slow down a little to find time to do the things I put off for many years. Instead of standing on the sideline admiring others taking control of their life. Never the less it seems like another goal need to be set. Except this time it is achievable. All depends on how much I am will to give up to put myself back on to the driver seat of my life.
Thanks my friend for reminding me not to let life slip away without giving something back.

Do You See Bicycle In Your Future?
Not as a sport but as transportation. No, we are not trying to replace China as the city of bike rider. Rather consider it as an alternative to a lot of our traffic problems in the city.
It is spring, folks are getting out their dusty bike and rode around the city, enjoying their new found popularity, spear headed by the current administration. There were added bike lanes. More bike racks for storage. New bike shops opens up all over the city. Yet we were told better enjoy the moment while it lasted.
The word from the media was that the current administration’s friendliness towards bikes and pedestrians is not going to last because the next administration will do away with it.
Secondly, the media also quoted that some business think it is insane, they think the administration does not want any one to have a car in NYC, and that also affecting their business.
Wait a minute, did any of these business owners drove to their work place daily? Did they even understand how impossible, and expensive to park a vehicle in the city? Most of us took public transport or walk to work? How could more pedestrians hurt their business? There are still public transportation, and Taxi around. As for deliveries, they always find ways to get the good delivered. Please enlighten me.
Advantages out weight disadvantages for being a bike friendly city, it will easy traffic congestion. It can help ease air population. Provide more exercise for citizen who wanted to bike. Less traffic accident will likely to occur. It is an all around win win situation. Not to mention how spectacular it is to bike right up to the pier on the Hudson to watch the sunset. Instead of parking miles away, pay for parking and then walk there.
The pending fare increases and service cut by our MTA, give us more reasons to consider biking to work as an alternative. As a matter of fact, some of the environmentally responsible corporations had program already in place to promote aggressive bike use. Bike to work not only reduce consumption of gasoline, it also translate to more real cash in your pocket.
Am I a bike advocate? I do not own a bike, if I bike to work, the chances of me causing an accident is far greater than you skip your morning coffee. Since most of us do not skip our morning ritual. You know what the answer will be. However that does not stop me from lending my support to those who do.

We clipped the Bomb
News of bomb found on Times Square echo all over the world within minutes it happened, it is a constant reminder that how vulnerable we are living in New York City, the most favorite target for the terrorists.
It was a miracle no one was hurt, Time Square was evacuated Swiftly and orderly. That should be credited to all the police and law enforcement agencies. Their training and coordination effort pays off.
In the last couple of months, I saw the increase of police presence in the subway station in Times Square, as well as on the street level. While the increased security is a great move, and necessary, we should credit the city on the excellent job on the ad campaign, telling citizen to be aware of any suspicious circumstances, and alert police, as in this recent case.
No matter how much law enforcement presence, the show of force may discourage terrorists to carry out an attack. However if you examine all the cases of suicide bombings all over the world, these kinds of activities are almost impossible for law enforcement to detect over a vast busy area like Time Square. Perhaps this is a lesson for all of us, who live and breath the city to be more vigilant of our surroundings. That does not means you have to examine everyone passes by you. That is people watching, entirely different category than this one, and you know what I meant.
On the flip side, I believe it is pure luck we have escaped a devastating disaster only because the bomb was poorly made. Otherwise the bomb would have gone off before anyone even realizes the existence of the vehicle that carries the bomb. Do you think our security failed in this regards?
The Street vender on the other hand should be credit with this quick thinking and call the police. Even though the smoke warning was unusual, because the bomb would have discharged without warning.
Unfortunately we got caught up with the media hype, try to recognize the heroes that saved us. Come to public security after 911 is not about recognize the heroes, it is our responsibility as New Yorkers, to ensure the city is safe not only for our sake, but also for our visitors flock to our famous city to enjoy all that we have to offer.
