The women in my family. [Apr. 2nd, 2007|01:22 pm]
The ladies in my family rule my world, and I'm pretty much ok with that.

This photo reminds me of a ying yang symbol. Or a bunch of fish swiming in a circle. LOL

Proud poppa. [Mar. 26th, 2007|12:29 pm]
Things have been pretty hectic lately and for good reason. At 3:15pm on Tuesday the 13th, Tracy gave birth to our baby daughter, Jamie Ann Hua. Tracy originally went in to get her regularly scheduled doctor appointment on Monday morning. They ran some tests and found that Tracy’s Blood pressure was too high and they quickly admitted her and induced labor. Unfortunately, the baby was not ready to come out, so poor Tracy had to endure labor for over 28 hours. Luckily, when it came time to deliver, Tracy was a super champ and gave birth to the baby naturally after about 15—20 minutes of pushing.

Jamie came to us 4 weeks early, so they ran some tests to make sure that her development was ok and the doctor said she looks great. She came in a tiny 5lbs 11oz, but a lengthy 19 inches. I think this little girl is going to be TALL! Here are a few photos :)


Mom and Jamie 2 hours after birth.







Burp time with Daddy!

Anyone want a Massage?! [Feb. 2nd, 2007|11:23 pm]
[Tags|]
[mood | giddy]

I need a massage badly. I am in serious need to de-stress in a big way. Life lately has been super stressful. Tracy and I have been under a lot of pressure lately. Outside of the regular stress of daily life and working for ourselves, we of course are dealing with a whole bunch of new stresses.

FAMILY- One big stress of course is the addition of the new baby. Because of Tracy's age, she has been under the careful watch of the doctors. Tests for this, that and the other keep coming back "positive" for potential complications that require more tests. Of course that is a huge scare when dealing with the health of your child, so we have been on this roller coaster of emotions. Thankfully, the tests have been coming out negative when we go in for further testings. All that coupled with the stress and anxiety of just adding more to the family and having to provide and care for a new baby. ACK!

WORK- Both Tracy and I work for ourselves doing real estate. So its a constant search for new clients and the pressures that come along in our business. Everything is always up against a dead line and everything always involves hundreds of thousands of dollars and people's livelihood. While its nice to work for ourselves, sometimes I wonder if it wouldnt just be easier to just go to work from 9-5 and have the security of a regular job, a steady paycheck, and the little stresses that come with working for someone else. The real estate business also is in a state of flux, so that in itself stressful. On the upside though, thankfully, I found a tenant yesterday for a rental of mine in Las Vegas, so thats one less headache to deal with :)

NEW WORK- I decided to open a massage clinic. Its called Massage Envy (http://www.massageenvy.com). I have been working with real estate brokers for 6 months now and its a non-stop roller coaster of stress and agony. We find locations and then are given a WHOOPING 48 hours to make a decision on the location. In those 48 hours, we have to do a TON of research on demographics, zoning laws, licensing processes, city planning, financial spreadsheets, etc. After we have done that work, then we have to let them know if we want to move forward with the location. Being that commerical leases go for 5-10 years and the monthly rent on these places have been like $12-15K a month, making a huge financial decision in 48 hours that potentially will effect me and my family for the rest of my life is quite possibly the scariest and hardest thing I have ever had to do.

I have reviewed over 15 possible locations and have tried to get 2 locations (didnt work out). Every time we get a location found, we have to go through the same process of research and stress of trying to decide in 48 hours if the location will for for us. That said, we found a location that I am hoping will work out. I am going to be checking it out tomorrow and am so excited that I am litterally shaking. I have that nervous feeling kids get on Christmas eve, where you cant sleep and you are hoping for a great day when you wake up. The really sucky thing is that even if its a perfect location and we decide we want it, its quite possible that we wont get it because the place wont accept us as a tenant! All that stress then the emotional letdown when we have our heart on it, and then get denied because the landlord selected a different tenant!

Well, once we get a place and get it set up, everyone is invited in for a massage! Everyone keep your fingers crossed for us!

There really is a such thing called a Runner's High [Dec. 20th, 2006|02:07 am]
[Tags|, ]
[Current Location |Las Vegas]


Well, its about a week later and I am fully recovered from my 1/2 marathon. I had a great time doing it and it was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Its really hard to describe the feeling of accomplishment that I am feeling.

I told everyone that I wanted to complete it in 2 hours and 15 mins, but in my mind I really wanted to get it done in under 2 hours for my first time. Now that the race is over, I know I could have done it better. Here is my list of reasons why I didn’t get under 2 hours. Excuses, I know. If you ever do one, don’t do what I did. LOL


1. Only 8 hours of sleep for 2 days prior to running the race (damn vegas!)
2. I ran 13.1 miles the weekend before, so was still recovering from a hurt foot (wanted to see if I could finish the race) Make sure if you do one, you taper your runs before race weekend.
3. I didn’t stretch before the race because I thought I could at the starting line (not enough room)
4. Cramps at mile 10 (see number 3!)
5. 42 degrees at 6 am with a nasty 5 mph head wind for the last 6 miles
6. I had to stop to pee about 100 yards into the race! (on the wall of the Mandalay Bay Hotel)
7. I took photos along the way (messes up your rhythm)
8. They had bad mile markers- so I thought I was going faster than I was
9. My Nike Plus Nano told me I had 1 mile to go, when in fact I had 2.5 (not a good feeling!)
10. 6 waters stops (I’m brining my own water next time)
11. I was running too slow to pace myself, but could have run faster


In the end, my final time was 2:05:09. (9:32 per mile pace) The clock time was 2:08:54 according to the official results (www.lvmarathon.com) I placed 1861 overall out of 16,047. Not great but not too bad for my first one. I think I can knock off 7-10 mins the next time. Im still debating if I am going to try to do the Orange County ½ marathon in 2 weeks.

All in all it was a really fun experience. I had a great time in Las Vegas. Thanks Allen for coming to hang out. I’m glad I did it. I don’t really enjoy running that much, but I do like the way it makes me feel. (foot pain excluded). I haven’t felt this inspired in a long time. Its hard to describe, but I feel really proud of myself in a very corny way. It made me realize that I can do anything if I set my mind to doing it. I am going to put that to the test I think next year, because I am considering signing up for the full Las Vegas Marathon. I might try the LA marathon, but I need to wait to get my marathon training books from Amazon first.

December 9th 2007 is the next Vegas Marathon. Anyone interested?

3 more days till my race. [Dec. 8th, 2006|08:45 am]
I cant believe there are only 3 days until I am running the Las Vegas Half Marathon. Its funny how I was so excited about it only a few weeks ago, but now that the day is almost here I am SCARED!

Last week I decided that I needed to get some serious milage in, so I went to the high school track and pounded out over 55 laps. Thats a total of 13.5 miles. I was feeling pretty good that I actually completed the distance. Unfortunately, about 2 hours later, I was limping so bad. My legs had officially turned to jello. Its now coming on Friday and I am still sore. Not only are my legs sore and my feet sore, but I have a big blister on one toe, and I am having a bad allergic reaction to something (weird itchy skin). I dont know if there are toxins being forced out of my body, or I just drank myself too many damn strawberry/bannana smoothies.

I checked Weather.com yesterday and I was terrified when I read the temperature in Vegas was 31 degrees (but felt like 28!!!) at 6 am in the morning which is the time the race starts on Sunday. I just checked now and it says that its warmer now and is supposed to be a low of 44 degrees with a 30% chance of rain. WHEE!! Guess Im going to go buy a rain jacket just in case. Tell me that doesnt sound fun! Running in the rain at 44 degrees. I dont feel so bad for the runners, as much as I do the Blue Man Group who is performing at the start and the Cirque Du Soliel people who are performing at the end. I understand according to the website (www.lvmarathong.com) there are 29 other acts as well. Poor guys!


Im debating whether or not I should bring my digital camera with me. I think it would be kinda neat to take a photo at every mile marker. I mean, Im not really racing anyone and the photos would be kinda cool to show people. But then again, I do want to complete the race in a decent time for my first race and for my age and I know snapping photos will slow my time and my runing pace considerably. My goal is to complete it in 2 hours and 15 mins. Its supposed to be webcast on http://www.klas-tv.com/ so keep an eye out for me and wish me luck!

100 things to do in my lifetime. [Nov. 24th, 2006|09:54 am]
[Tags|]
[mood | pensive]

I always think to myself that too many people go about life without really thinking about what they REALLY want to get out of it. They say that they want this and that, but they dont ever really go for it. They might say, "I want to be rich one day"- but never work any harder or smarter. I want to have a better relationship with my family- but dont put in the time and effort.

I am a strong believer that if you want something out of life, you have to put a plan together and go for it. I think it was Einstein who said the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again, but expecting different results. I had some time last night to myself and I decided that I needed to put together a list of things that I want to get done in my lifetime. I spent over 3 hours working on this list last night. I had actually started the list over 3 years ago, but decided that it needed some revisiting.

Ouch... [Nov. 19th, 2006|03:45 pm]
[mood | bouncy]

Well, training for my 1/2 marathon has been pretty much non-existant for the last 10 days. I have been so busy with work that I havent made time for it. Bad thing, since its in a few weeks. I am in Taiwan right now visiting my dad for his 60th birthday. I tried training at the gym one day here. I was only able to run 9 miles before my body said "ok, thats it", and proceeded to shoot pain throughout my legs.

I decided that rather train again the next day, I walked around and found this reflexology/ massage place. Now if you have never had asian reflexology, then you HAVE to get it. Basically, its a foot massage. Not the soft gental soothing type you get in a swedish massage, but a hard, extremely painful, torturous type of feeling that makes grown men scream out like 8 year old girls. It hurts so badly that I litterally come out of it sweating. I got that and then a hour massage.

This guy comes out dressed in a white kung fu outfit and asks me if I am ready. What was it like? Basically, for an hour I got beat up while I lied there, I was put in various wrestling holds to strech me out, and also pounded on by quick, calculated blows to my spine and legs. At one point he got behind me and litterally had me in some sort of wrestling/cirque du soliel move where he was lying on his back, with his feet under my back, while I hung in mid air like a limp noodle. I was waiting for applause from an audience when he put me down.

Thing is, after a beating like that, I was feeling pretty good. I wish there were more asian type massage places like this where I live. Massage therapist really understand the way the body works and really heal you. Granted, I still love the massage I get in the US, but it just doesnt compare.

Looks whos coming to dinner! [Nov. 7th, 2006|07:26 pm]
[mood | loved]

I know for so many people, seeing stuff like this is boring. Heck, I always thought it was dumb when I saw it too, but I guess when you see it, and its YOURS, then things are different.

Yesterday, Tracy and I went in to get her ultrasound done. She is going into her 5th month of pregnancy. Hard to tell considering last weekend or so she was in a tiny mini dress for her costume. Anyhow, the lab tech showed us the baby on the screen and we got to watch it move around and stuff in Tracys tummy. Its pretty amazing that its almost 13cm (6 inches) already. According to some website, its supposed to be 5.5 inches, so she is a good size. It was cute, we saw the baby roll around from side to side. We looked for any indication of a penis, but none were to be found.. Hence, as I predicted, we are having a GIRL.



This is an image of her head. I dotted in a few areas so I could better get a shape.

My dog makes me laugh. [Nov. 5th, 2006|05:45 am]
My friend sent me this "inspirational" poster. I put a shot of my dog in it instead.




They say pets start to look more and more like their owners, or vice versa. This photo cracks me up. When I think about my family, Tracy, Lorenzo and Bellie. I really think we are a weird bunch. Funny thing is, I really get a kick out of it. We are seriously quirky, but one thing I love, is that we are always laughing :)

Halloween Weekend [Nov. 2nd, 2006|12:19 am]
[Tags|]

Well, I completed my costume (Marvin) and we had a nice night. It was different because it didnt seem like our group really hung out which was a shame since I spent so much time on my costume and my cousin Allen's costume (Gossemer- the big red furry guy). Tracy wasnt drinking obviously and I didnt drink all that much either. Anyhow, its probably the last halloween party we will be going to for a long time! I guess I was hoping it would be more fun and more memorable. I will however remember how it feels to wear control top women's panty hose- not fun.

Here are the rest of the photos: http://public.fotki.com/ERicincal/personal_life/eric_and_tracy_2006/october-_december/halloween-at-the-hi/

This is what I was supposed to be.



This is how the costume turned out




This is me with my 4 month pregnant wife. Doesnt she look great?!!! Can you see her pooch? :)

Im in love! [Oct. 26th, 2006|12:24 am]
I was driving back from the doctor's office this afternoon. I had to get a check up because all of this training for my 1/2 marathon has left me with a busted foot. But I digress.

I stopped by a Trader Joes because my wife wanted some sparking pomagranate juice. Now mind you, I dont normally shop at Trader Joes, but I heard a commercial about this juice for 1.99 a bottle so I had to go in a get her some (pregnant wife and all). Anyhow, I was browsing around and all I have to say is WOW. They have some amazing foods there. I stocked up on a whole bunch of random things I would have never have thought to buy. Everything looked pretty good, but the proof was going to be in the taste.

So I made Tracy and Lorenzo dinner tonight. I bought a fresh baguette ( with a whole bunch of seeds and stuff on it), we had some fresh buttered brocolli, I made a wild mushroom and rice pilaf, and a cioppino. I wasnt expecting too much with the cioppino, so I added a few legs of alaskan king crab I had in the freezer. Dinner was AMAZING. ok.. Im not tooting my own horn here but the food was REALLY good. Best of all, it was super easy, realtively healthy, and pretty darn cheap considering how much food there was.

Best of all, I had leftover cioppino after my workout at the gym! hmmmm... I LOVE Trader Joes!

Im finally done! [Oct. 22nd, 2006|01:09 am]
Well, it took a total of 6 straight hours. My neighbors probably think Im obsessed with something, because I have been working in my front yard on it forever. I have made countless trips to Joanne's fabrics, Lowes, Michaels art supplies and finally, I can rest.

My halloween costume is DONE. Im excited to wear it to the club.

Its official now. (crap) [Oct. 20th, 2006|01:59 pm]


I got an email from the Las Vegas marathon-

"CONFIRMATION CARD
2006 NEW LAS VEGAS MARATHON & HALF MARATHON
We are pleased to confirm your entry into the 2006 New Las Vegas Marathon & Half Marathon an for the Quality of Life Expo. Please verify that the race information on the mailing label is correct, listed in the following order: Division, Sex, Age, Expected Finish Time.

Bib: 14128
Category: Half marathon
Name: Eric
Gender: M
Est. Time: 2:00:00 "

Ok... now Im really nervous! I put in I would finish in 2 hours. Now on one hand that seems like a very long time. But on the other hand, it seems like a short time considering I have to run a 9:09 minute mile for 13.1 miles. Hell, I don't think I have ever done any exercise straight for 2 hours! Has any one ever run something this long and can give me some tips? Anyone want to go to Vegas and run also? Train with me?

Bummer is, last week I hurt my foot running only 6.1 miles. I havent trained at all this week. Still hurts to walk on it. Thank goodness for Advil.

Halloween Decorating. [Oct. 19th, 2006|08:42 pm]
Well, I decided I would get into the holiday spirts and decorate my house. I saw some other neighbors do it, so I wanted to follow suit. I hung my "prop" up, and while people have stopped to notice it, only 1 person said they liked it. I think I made it too scary for the neighborhood. LOL

I painted it with some glow in the dark paint and put a black light under it. It looks pretty cool. These photos dont do it justice, but you get the idea!

Patting myself on the back. [Oct. 18th, 2006|01:09 am]
I started working out a lot more and its nice because I can finally see some improvements. Is that a 3 pack I see ERic? LOL. Hmmmmm, more like 3 more defined little lumps of fat, and not one big round lump. LOL. Ahhh.. I dont care, its IMPROVEMENT. I am patting myself on the back here.

I am excited because I went to the gym last night, and on the bench press, I did a set (8 reps) of 135lbs to warm up, another set of (8 reps) at 155lbs, another set (8 reps) at 185lbs, and then I bumped it up and did 205lbs (3 reps). I know its not that much weight for some people, but considering I am weighing about 162 lbs these days I'm pretty happy. Right now thats about 127% of my body weight. If I can get up to 150% of my bodyweight, I think I will be really happy (250lbs). Seeing some of these people at the gym is pretty motivating.

I wanted my body fat to go down to 10%, but lately its been moving in the wrong direction. I think its because I have been eating pretty late at night. Tonight I had 3 bowls of cereal, a 16oz glass of skim milk, a yoplait yogurt, and a really yummy toasted english muffin with chicken breast and salsa.

I also missed my run today because I hurt my foot. Not a good way to start my training for my marathon!

Motivation. [Oct. 17th, 2006|12:38 am]
Well, its been offically a week since I signed up for the Las Vegas Marathon. I have booked and paid for my hotel room ($250+), paid for the marathon ($85), bought a t-shirt ($20), bought a running chip ($30), bought a Nike Ipod running sensor ($29), and spend another ($140) on various running shorts and tank tops.

Now I thought running was going to be a cheap sport, but was I wrong! almost $500 bucks spent just so I can run 13.1 miles. That said, I figure its going to cost me about $35 dollars a mile to run this thing! Thats not considering what Im spending on gas and food also.

Im really excited to run this thing, but I am also very nervous about running it. I just started training for it and I am shooting to run it in under 2 hours. I have no idea if thats doable, but it sounds good. I am heading out to Vegas by myself becuase Tracy has to take care of Lorenzo. Im a little bummed becuase I wont have anyone to cheer me on, or help if there are any problems, or worst of all, celebrate with me when I finish. I decided to celebrate in Vegas with a 2 hour massage and a fat rib eye steak dinner if I complete the thing.

The run is 13.1 miles at 6am in Decemember in Las Vegas. I think it should be about 50 degrees and dark outside. That means I need to get up at about 4 am, to get some food in me, and get to the starting line. I just ran 6.1 miles this weekend, and 3 days later my feet are still killing me. Hmmmmmmm... maybe this wasnt a good idea after all. LOL

(no subject) [Oct. 11th, 2006|10:48 pm]
As some of you know, I am playing a "GAME" to help better myself. My good friend, Shannon Adkins, is also playing the same game. She has set a goal of raising $100,000 for the Alzheimer's Association of Northern California. So far, she is just short of $40,000!!!!

Shannon's mom Susie was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 1997, at the age of 48. She is now 58, and resides in a full time care facility. Shannon and her family have dedicated themselves to raising money for research, services, education and advocacy for the Alzheimer's Association. 4.5 million Americans now have Alzheimer's disease. By 2050, there will be a 300% increase in new cases – up to 16 million Americans with Alzheimer's disease. And while it is too late to find a cure for Shannon's mom, it is not too late for the millions of others who will be affected.

If you would like to help me help Shannon reach that $100,000 goal, please follow the link below and make a tax deductible donation by October 31st. Your support is greatly appreciated.

http://memorywalk06.kintera.org/treasureisland/shannon

If you want to help, but you cant muster up the cash to do it, here is how you can help. If you have a home, and you dont already have a home equity line of credit or wish to get a better rate on your line, I can help you open a FREE line of credit for you, and I will donate $100 to the Alzheimers association on your behalf. You will get a free equity line, a great rate, help a great cause, and get a nice tax benefit.

Whew! Post Vegas weekend hangover... [Oct. 9th, 2006|06:59 pm]
Well, Im back from a 2 day outing in Las Vegas. Went there for my cousin's bachelor party to which I am the best man. My wife was in Las Vegas also celebrating my cousin's fiancee's bachelorette party as well.

The partying was fun. Maybe a bit too much fun. When I go out, I tend to try a bit to hard to make sure that everyone is having fun, so if I dont think they are drunk enough, I make them drink by buying shots. Bad idea! Not only did I spend way too much money, but I drank way too much. The better thing would be to take EVERYONE to the bar, and make them drink at the same time, but according to my reciepts, I was taking individuals to the bar, buying them drinks. Anyhow, I was way too drunk and by the end of the night, the night was a blurr. Evidently, we all left the club, and took a cab to the afterhours place. Only thing I remember was that for a moment, I didnt see anyone around me, I was drunk and not feeling well, so I put two and two together and decided I should go home. I walked back to the hotel to crash. I guess I didnt tell anyone, becuase they were all looking for me for over an hour. I guess people were pretty mad cuz they were looking so long, but I didnt understand why they didnt try calling the room. From what I understand there was some other drama , so maybe it was better I was drunk and sleeping in the room.

2nd night was spent in a gentlemens club. So it was more subdued. Not much to report there. The highlight for me was when a gal at the club who was sitting next to me was telling her friend that she was "into" me, but she wasnt going to try anything because she saw my wedding band. It was a nice ego stroke. After the strip club, we were off to the afterhours, where we stayed till about 9:30 am. Slept a whooping 1.5 hours and checked out and drove home.

All in all, the weekend cost me over $1500 bucks when you combine what my wife and I spent. Sigh.. I dont have that money to spend, but I am the bachelor's best man. He wants to have a 2nd bachelor party closer to the wedding date in May. I am not sure Ill be able to afford to attend that one.

Got home, and went to bed at 9pm. Woke up today at 10am. Dropped friend off at the airport, came home spent some "quality time" with the wife, and took a nap for another 3 hours. 16 hours of sleep today. NICE. Sometimes its good to be self employeed. whew.
