Month: October 2010

  • In Family

    In recent news, I came across a Yahoo! article:

    Barack Obama distantly related to Palin, Limbaugh

    Today’s revelation is yet another reason why I couldn’t squeal about my “little frustrations”. It’s family business. And well a poor person like moi cannot possibly win over those who hold the money bags, the purse strings, the pork barrels, etc.

  • Riding Waves

    To the Samoans, the Hawaiians, the Pacific Islanders, the Indonesians and pals: Don’t dick around with me. I’ve been told you guys have a hard time repaying others, not even $5 bucks!

  • Troubled Times

    During lunch with Mike today, I cited an example of Paw and how he would pack his lunch the night before work the following day without fail. And Maw would help sometimes with the choices of food. This was said off-hand about feeding my family.

    And it is with the sad reality that by the end of this year, Hoan and I would be unemployed from the six-month temporary job assignment. The backlog is pretty much finished and the girl’s assignment would be over by the end of this month in October.

    I suggested to Mike to make the sacrifice (which sounded bloody) for his family by bringing his own food instead of ordering online for sandwiches and such. His money is tight and the food money (he wasted) could have gone to oil changes.

    Like his car perhaps needing an oil change, my oil indicator is showing the “hot” zone. I’m waiting for the 70,000 mark before going in for the oil change, even though the reminder sticker is showing a service for 69,000.

    And I still have to pay out of pocket for the dentist of around $181.00 and then feed my family, too, which is supposed to have gone to paying off another debt. It’s rough when I’ve not seen them in so many years apart.

    We were near the cul-de-sac towards the back parking lot. And at this point, he was the only one to have heard how I’m prepared to file for bankruptcy. It’s my fault for believing in a lie after all these ten slong years.

    I simply refused to get my family involved in my failed reality. I told Mike I wanted to visit Hong Kong, Australia, Egypt, Mecca and Taj Mahal – one day – if “Plan A” should ever materialize with Hawaii being my designation for a honeymoon.

  • Touch Technology

    I remember a young lad I once dated over ten years ago. He is a smart one. He claims to have invented a touch technology, similar to Atmel’s maXTOUCH. Only “Bill’s invention” was some sort of mouse, the kind that you’d find on a laptop. I can’t remember the label but the brand name was something close to “cat” or “kat” or if it had the face of a cat on it.

    When he brought me to a store, he wanted me to buy that one product. I wasn’t sure but thought to myself: “What the heck! It might make him happy.” And when I decided to purchase one and as I held it in my hand to remove it from its display shelf, he jumped up and down. I didn’t know what to make of that action but it definitely made the young lad happy.

  • 20101012-Divorced Nutter

    A few minutes ago, Juan and I were waiting to make a left at the railroad intersection. Lo and behold, I see the divorced nutter in her white Honda CR-V (with an Esteves sign on her spare tire) making a right. Through her rolled down window, she caught sight of Juan and me. Juan is driving an acid-washed, station wagon of dark gray color. He was behind me car at that time.

    I took another road home bound and saw Juan slowing down and signaling his right turn. Instead of making a right turn on my usual drive, I went straight and turned right on another drive. I saw Juan get out of his station wagon. He wears his usual white baseball cap and golden-colored sunshades. He had money but LoLinda helped him spend it on vacations.

    As soon as I stepped into our front door, I saw her drive back home! She’s nuts! Between the illegal ALIEN and the nutball, I feel more sorry for the ALIEN because the mind of the nutball and her reality are not nice. It would make any ALIEN feel uncomfortable to sense and really unbearable to live.

  • 20101012-Noticing Numbers

    In recent news, I noticed the double-digit number of 33 and the number 69, which is a Piscean symbol and/or something ‘sexual’ – as in the position of mating couples. Also, the incident is located in SAN JOSE MINE, Chile. That closely matches my city located in SAN JOSE, CA (USA).

    Chile choreographs dramatic finish to rescue saga

    SAN JOSE MINE, Chile – Chilean officials prepared to lower two rescuers almost a half-mile into a collapsed mine Tuesday, the precursor to fresh air and freedom for 33 men trapped for 69 days. No one in history has been trapped underground so long and survived.

  • Atmel Touch Technology – Best of The Bay

    I just viewed a video http://bestofthebaytv.com/view/1219 (6:45): As Seen On… KRON 4 – The Bay Area’s News Station. The maXTOUCH is worth looking into.

  • 20101012-Weathery Ways

    Holy cow! I’m friggin’ HOT – not in beauty or sensually (mind you), but of body heat! That’s right! The current temperature may have registered as “Fair, 88 F” via Yahoo! Weather online. But the way I’m feeling: It’s over 100 F! Woo! Hoo! I hate sweating! It’s gross and I’m sitting here at my desk looking red like a lobster in the face while blogging and at least not smelly – thanks to the underarm deodorant I used this morning. Thank goodness Charissa and the security guard opened the double-doors for me. Blessings to those two kind souls!

    Anyway, Mike (my fantasy guy at work) came along for the walk, which was much farther! Thank goodness I have no pain in my feet and joints! Thank goodness for my big “Rose Chapel” umbrella as a sun shield and for my new airy blouse of black and white. It was wide open at the neck. My usual clothes cover up all the way to the neck.

    He had ordered a turkey sandwich at “Speciality’s Café & Bakery” online. All he had to do was pick-up a nice brown bag, which was sitting on a nice brown cabinet near right side of the doorway. Of course, it’s an honor-system, in which people ought to grab their orders with no incident of taking someone else’s order (whether in error or by accident).

    We sat outdoors near the right-side of the handicap ramp. And I sat rather quietly (while drinking my cup of ice-cold water) so that he could munch on his food without gagging. It’s my other personality trait mostly at home and while eating; unlike my impatient and talkative nature while walking with him. It’s his energy signature, really. He’s a party animal and I had no idea because I cannot easily judge by outward appearance only – not even his former LONG hair. Yeah, right.

    So we were slowed down by two Asians in nice dresses and one guy. Of course, the guy knows how to appreciate beauty. I laughed, knowing his testosterone levels are “normal” enough. He couldn’t help but “aspirate” as a stifled comment about the legs was said under his breath. Thank goodness I’m deaf enough not to hear what he said and not jealous enough to care what he thinks.

    It’s cool to fantasize as a single person. It’s also possible while married, at which point the initial vows should be the happiest moment in his/one’s life. I could gag at that point, honestly. I’ve seen and heard horror stories of failed marriages and came across a website of celebrities breaking-up. It’s so sad, really.

    I see myself hiding as a troll behind the bushes and observing people make fools of themselves – pointing, snickering and laughing in amusement, just like today’s lunch walk. He really laughed at that point. I got lost a few times at the intersection. He needs to put a leash around me or I’ll just keep walking away – get lost, stolen or forgotten.

    He really makes great company – able to laugh at anything and joke with anyone. That explains why I prefer the company of men – they are not “catty” like women. I just like hanging out, yucking it up and going separate ways. It’s that plain lifestyle from a simple-minded person, like moi.

  • 20101012-Bored Again

    Actually, I’m not really bored but somewhat busy and quite humored at my demise with “people” and life in general. At work, I’m going through each product (with their suffixes) and merely “maintaining” the orders and highlighting my spreadsheet with pastel colors between the good and “don’t touch”.

    While being bored, I can’t help but recall a conversation between Steve and Mike during that luncheon. It seems that the company is still searching for a director and went through dozens of candidates. Of course, Steve “wondered” why (or rather hinted at who) would it take so long to replace someone, who may be re-hired back.

    To the both of you: F.U. I have nothing to do with this place or its politics or the fact that I’m mysteriously placed nearest to the friggin’ back door! Only what I hear from you and others (or see as disturbing) is what I know and only care to know and report the weird stuff. Everything else is stupid.
