I love the updates. This is what a church's mission is all about. I wish I will one day be able to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On Sports:<\/strong><br>It's been a couple of weeks since I joined LA Fitness Club just for the sake of using the pool. I clocked my 25m Freestyle at around 20 seconds. Since by extrapolation the world record would be around 10 secs, I think I have room for improvement. I wonder how I did back in high school, there must be a record somewhere. Anyway, a twice\/week swimming routine would cost me roughly $5 per entry for my membership (with Nadia as my plus one). We worked out a way so that Nadia uses her phone's app while I use my phone number for entry, not that she's ever going to use it. I've followed the at least 2 times a week routine until we got snowed in this past Monday. So perhaps I can go today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On Economics:<\/strong><br>Starbucks climbed up, I dump my 10 shares right away making roughly $20s. With their changes in management and the bearish drop earlier, better wait and see. Bought CCL instead, I figure with the vaccinations and Spring coming, people are wanting to go back to cruising. Though I may have to sit on this for a while. So my stocks so far are: 50 in CCL, 5 in MSFT and 2 in ZGNA (given free by Webull). I think I should raise my shares in MSFT as well at some point. DISNEY also has a pattern, perhaps a buy in Aprils, rather than waiting until Octobers. I should also consider moving my mom's account from Robinhood to another platform perhaps Moomoo, after the distrust Robinhood displayed after the GME short squeeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, with cryptocurrencies, I am also sitting on Ripple's XRP. Putting in $1k, got raised to $2k and it did peaked twice higher for a short time last Sunday. I think I'll stay put, let's see how this SEC lawsuit plays out. Squeezed out about $40 from Stellar Lumens with $1k, placed $1k in OX instead. I have $20s possible growing profit in Ethereum now, I'm just going to wait it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Music:To play like that or high end restaurant pianists, lots of practice and memorizing songs: On Evangelism:As I was beginning to think Byrd's email updates from the church is getting spam-like annoying, I learned this time that our prayers &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/?p=9975\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,7,20,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-economics","category-general","category-music","category-theologization"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9975"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9975\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9983,"href":"http:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9975\/revisions\/9983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
