Recent economic deterioration in the U.S.,
some says as already a recession, caused by housing sub-prime mortgage
problem inevitably makes me feel guilty. Because it happened after my idea
of "7 Paris Houses in 7 Countries" proposed to her in 2006, that was
never been realized. It makes me feel like being affected by the mechanism
of the words of God "if you showed sufficient gratitude to the gifts of
God, you will get more from God, but if you ignored it, beware of the
wrath of God".
Hopefully next time I can do better whenever
good idea comes to my mind. Maybe I should start it with you significant
help, like mentioned in my letter of
Merrill Lynch's John A. Thain, "Don't End the Thai End".

Recent top two movies on the Top Box office
approaching the end of April 2008 in the U.S. are occupied by movies which
title contains "for".
First place is "The Forbidden Kingdom",
the first movie pairing of martial-arts legends Jackie Chan and Jet Lie,
with the director Rob Minkoff, producers Ryan Kavanaugh, Raffaella De
Laurentiis, Yuen Wo-Ping, Jon Feltheimer, Casey Silver, Philip Leewith,
distributed by Lionsgate Production Co.
This movie is like reminding me with the "forbidden
sign" appeared at Anggrek Street that mentioned in my letter of "Fortuner,
for the Fortune of Rahma and Rila".
Second place is "Forgetting Sarah Marshall",
starred by Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis, Russell Brand, Bill
Hader, directed by Nicholas Stoller, with the producers Rodney Rothman,
Richard Vane, Judd Apatow, distributed by Universal Pictures Distribution.
This movie is like related with my previous
letter of "Stock
Crash and Car Crash From 8th Floor Cancelled My Watching Sarah Azhari".
