My Happy Finds - A place for Love, Life and Laughter

Go Giants! Go Madonna!

Maigal — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:34:26 +0000

I never really pay much attention to football until yesterday’s Superbowl where the Giants played the Patriots. Maybe sometimes, it takes a certain individual to influence you to like certain things. All I can say is that the Giants kicked a$$ in the last 4 mins of the game and Madonna put on a really SICK show during half-time. For a 50 year old, she is still rocking it like she’s in her 20s. I think I will definitely go to her concert this year before she retires.

Watch Madonna’s half time show here.

40 Alone and Happy

Maigal — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:25:10 +0000

Lately I have been watching a lot of make-up tutorials from Queenie Chan who is a famous make-up artist and beauty columnist in Hong Kong. I love following her make-up tips but her words of wisdom about life, health and love really inspires me to be true to myself and be happy with whatever I have. She is truly inspirational. I wish her a Happy Belated 40 Birthday.

Love You Long Enough For My Greencard

Maigal — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 02:31:22 +0000

I asked my mom last month, why she married my dad? She told me it’s because my dad is tall, charming, and handsome. But the biggest reason was he was able to bring her to America. She told me marrying a Chinese American man was every girl’s dream in China. It was their ticket out of poverty and an opportunity to bring all of her family members to the US for a better life. Let’s face it, if you are a farmer in China, your next generation will probably be a farmer. They don’t have as many opportunities as we do in America such as public schools, food stamps, and free health care for the poor. No matter how much the French talk shit about the US or how much the Iraqis want to bomb us, if given the opportunity to live in the United States, I think most of them would jump at the opportunity. The United States has become a superpower because throughout history we worked hard to build a foundation. The United States also made investments in other countries such as China and India which helped create their skilled labor force. Look at China now, they have become one of the most powerful countries to contend with. Yes, we bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan; we bombed Iraq; we enslaved black people; we enslaved Chinese people to build the railroads, which I feel America never put any effort to recognize. If you look at history, every country did horrible things to each other. Look at Germany, does Hitler ring a bell? Anyhow, I can’t stand how some people bash America when other countries did far worse to each other. If you ask me, no country is innocent. Every country fights for money and power, it’s just that the United States has maintained its place as the most powerful nation. That’s why so many Mexicans and people from all over the world would do whatever it takes to come to the US.

When I was in college, a couple of my girl friends were offered $20K to be engaged to men in China so that they could come to America. But if you married that person, you would get $50k after they got their green card. That was the black market price 10 years ago. Now, a new scam has arisen to get a green card. Whoever thought of this scam is brilliant because it’s safe and requires very little money. I have noticed a lot of Korean and Chinese women apply for language school to learn English in the United States. This way, they can live in the United States with a student visa and hunt for the prey that will marry them and get them a green card. Many of these language schools, like the billboard ads you see on the subway, will take just about anybody who is willing to pay and they can stay as long as they like. What’s smart about this scam is once these women are approved for a student visa, which will last for 5 years, they can cancel all their classes and get their money back. Brilliant right??? Why pay $70k when you can come to the US for as little as $2k for the price of airfare and the registration fee. I know I shouldn’t generalize that most illegal immigrants are here to find a green card daddy because if you are 19 or 20 and applied to a real college for a 4 year degree, you’re probably legit. But women who are 25-28 years of age who want to come here to learn English, I find it a bit hard to believe. By that age, most women in those countries should be married with at least two kids. I feel I have to rat these women out. Their mission is to come to the US to find a guy who is willing to marry them so they can permanently stay in the US. I’m not saying these women are only after the guy’s green card. I’m sure they want to find someone they truly love and the green card – that’s a bonus! These women use an effective excuse to get the men to marry them as quickly as possible and a lot of men actually fall for it. The excuse is, “I love you so much. I want to be with you forever but my visa is going to expire soon and I have to go back to my country. We won’t be able to see each ever again. Boo hoo.” So what would any man with a heart say, “Don’t worry. I’ll marry you so you can stay.” That’s when she’s thinking, “JACKPOT! BINGO!” Don’t be lured into this trap. According to travel.state.gov website, “When you enter the United States on a student visa, you will usually be admitted for the duration of your student status. That means you may stay as long as you are a full time student, even if the F-1 visa in your passport expires while you are in America. For a student who has completed the course of studies shown on the I-20, and any authorized practical training, the student is allowed the following additional time in the U.S. before departure.” As long as these women renew their visa, they can stay here as long as they want. Even if their student visa were to expire, do you really think the INS will be knocking on their door? I don’t think so.

The conclusion of this story is that all women want to win the jackpot but you guys have to figure out if the jackpot is a scam or is it true love.

Be My Mr. Right Now

Maigal — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 02:07:59 +0000

Model Choi Ho Jin

Finding Mr. Right in New York City is like looking for the perfect job. You go out on interviews, sometimes with not even a call back after the first interview. Other times, you get called back in three times but still nothing permanent. It can feel like there’s no end in sight, until you land that perfect job with a great salary, ideal hours and work that you actually feel enthusiastic about. Sure, it’s great to land that perfect job but is there really such thing as perfect? Most of my jobs started off looking perfect. I enjoyed the people I worked with and the work itself but after awhile, I just start hating everything about it especially those meaningless, boring meetings that never seem to end. So what do you do? You start to look for another fulfilling job. It doesn’t make sense to just quit your current job because it’s tolerable and you like the salary for rent and expenses.

The same thing applies in finding Mr. Right. You date around till you think you’ve found “The One” to settle down with but within a few more dates, you realize… maybe you two aren’t the Brangelina perfect fit. So what can you do in this kind of situation? Based on my experiences and from the girls I know, they would actually stay in the relationship until they find a replacement, just like finding a better job, why leave your old one. It sounds selfish and F’d up but a girl’s gotta do what’s best for her so why not go on a “secret interview” with a Mr. Right Now?

I’m not saying we should play with other people’s emotions. I would never do that to a guy who is truly, madly, and deeply in love with me because I have more morals than that and besides, karma has a nasty sense of humor. I would do it only when both parties feel the same way and have that certain understanding. So… anyone interviewing?

Chinese Are Fast

Maigal — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:02:22 +0000

As a Chinese woman, I am so proud of my people. We came a long way to be on top of the human species and now we are finally here. We have money and power, with billions of Chinese everywhere. I think the reason why we are so accomplished is because we do everything quick and efficiently. We do our math quick, cook quick, copy quick, learn quick, work quick and probably have quick sex too. Where do you think the billion Chinese came from? Because of Chinese people’s quick skills, no wonder we manufacture everything in China. I never had to wait long in line at McDonald when I was in China, but here in the United States those fat a$$ workers are so damn slow. The Wendy’s on Broadway in SoHo is the slowest one I ever been to. We shouldn’t call them fast food restaurant, we should call them a slow food restaurant. Here is a video of a Chinese company called Broad Group who built a 30-story hotel in just 15 days. Now that’s fast!

My Ex-Boyfriend New Girlfriend Hates Me

Maigal — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:48:51 +0000

Model Im Ji Hye

My ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend is dying to meet me. From what I heard, she’s 32 years old, smart, successful, sweet and tiny (about 5 feet tall). She definitely sounds like a girl I can add to Maigal’s entourage even though we FU*KED the same guy. As much as she wants to meet me, I refused to see her. The number one reason is because my ex told me that she hates me. She can’t stand the fact that he still hangs out with me. I kinda understand why she would feel that way. Like come on, look at me. I’m a hot piece of a$$. She’s just feeling a bit insecure, which is only natural. But why the hell would I want to meet someone knowing that they already don’t like me anyway. She probably just wants to show off that my ex is now her man. Maybe she might even make out with him in front of me just to get me jealous. Some women are catty like that just to protect their property. I already see nothing good will come out of this situation. The second reason I don’t want to meet her is I actually hate her more than she hates me. This has nothing to do with her dating my ex. But from the stories my ex had told me, I find her desperate and she really gives women a bad name.

I don’t want to get into the whole story but let’s just say when a girl literally hears that the guy she is currently dating and having an intimate relationship with is f*cking someone else and is okay with it, I find it a bit disturbing. If you can hear the moaning and the bed squeaking, I think it’s more than enough to say, I don’t need this. But to still stick around and F him the next time he sees you, I sense real insecurity, stupidity and desperation. We all want love, but to tolerate something like that, I really don’t think it’s worth it.

What is SOPA and PIPA?

Maigal — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:55:49 +0000

I love Youtube. If you have a question on anything, I’m sure you can find an answer from Youtube. So the government wanted to pass a law to stop piracy. If this bill is passed, they will shut down any sites that they think might have committed piracy. If that’s the case, MyHappyFinds.com will be shut down. For more info on what is SOPA and PIPA, please watch this video.
