Here are my notes taken via the “Memo” app of my cellphone:
01/05/2012 18:55. Maw said that when and if she and Paw passed on, I’ll be left to defend myself. The boy suggested buying a shotgun instead of a regular pistol. The shotgun will spray wider but not penetrate the walls to the house. The gapping hold of the buckshots would cover an entire abdomen. Whereas a regular pistol would be MUCH harder to aim. *Off-topic: It’s true. Even assault weapons are too dangerous and VERY difficult to aim with pin-point accuracy, even with a scope.
01/05/2012 18:54. The boy told us of how Fred, the hunter suggested firing a warning shot before killing an intruder. For example, a sofa was propped up against the door in the hopes of preventing an intruder from breaking and entering their property. That didn’t work. So the lady, in defense of her two sons, she fired last minute and killed the guy. *Off-topic: It would be wise to warn the intruder of your gun, your intention to use the gun and a three strike countdown before firing your warning shot.
01/05/2012 18:53. The boy told us of how the Russians could have defeated the Japanese. But since the Japanese found that they could defeat the Russians and decided to conquer other countries, there was a World War Two.
01/05/2012 18:47. The boy told of the twit’s friend, Keiko, a Japanese who married a white boy named Bill. Well, Keiko read some history books from the family, who owns a general business for hunting. She found interest in what she read and in so doing discovered how their accountant embezzled $22 million in slush funds. The family merely fired the accountant.
01/05/2012 18:33. The boy told us there was a handiman who was fifty years old. He used to be sniper in the Soviet Army and killed some Talibans. One day he needed help from Michael, a Vietnamese, who was known to piss off people. Well, he did answered back and told off the Russian, who was raising hell: “Why don’t you understand me?” The boy didn’t tell Michael afterwards and was worried about getting the soldier angry. *Off-topic: That’s why it’s important to be polite to ALL race and groups because each person has a STORY!
01/05/2012 18:32. John was enlisted (as part of being a Korean) in the army. He won a Korean medal of honor for fighting in Vietnam (for a war with Korea).
01/05/2012 18:31. The boy told us that he emailed John to calm down. But because John is Korean and had a bad attitude of being on top of everyone else, he didn’t take the time to DOUBLE CHECK his equipment. The premonition had already manifested. *Off-topic: Again, it would be wise to listen to the wise before rushing into things.
01/05/2012 18:30. The boy told us further how John couldn’t find parking. So the group went ahead of him. He parked his car and little did they know, he sprinted in the hopes of catching up with the group. He didn’t see his friends and went double the speed necessary, even though they were already going full speed. Later, the group saw some guy crashed in front of them. He was going fast recklessly. It so happened that he forgot his shoe clip and wore regular shoe. I saw in my mind’s eye how his right foot slipped off the pedal and he lost control of the bike and became paralyzed. He was working late in the night the day before the biking event.
01/05/2012 18:29. The boy told us how he e-mailed his Korean friend, John, NOT to go down hill so fast. John’s friend told the boy that John’s left side is numb and there is mild paralysis on the left side of his body.
01/05/2012 18:25. On March 14, 1967, Maw became a registered nurse. She told us of how she passed the board while feeling sick with the boy, who was/is good luck to her. She was guessing on the answers.
01/05/2012 18:24. Maw told us of how she had to chart the patients’ medical records in the dark long ago.
01/05/2012 18:23. Maw told us of how a “major” in a private hospital in the Philippines gave Maw the opportunity to work for two years, free from the university. It was one incentive to recruit foreigners.
01/05/2012 18:22. Maw told us that the people of Holland have to get the government’s permission to marry. The newlywed has to wait until there is an apartment available.
01/05/2012 18:21. The boy told us of how the people in Spain live in such small dwellings that they’d have to go out. That’s why there are lots of coffee shops and bars.
01/05/2012 18:21. Maw said that the people of Holland have rooms the size of our dining room. The bed is the size of a bunker. They wash dishes with two basins of water — one soapy and one clean. Sometimes the dishes still have suds.
01/05/2012 18:20. The sister of a co-worker lived in Germany, where the people are paid enough by the govt and don’t worry about paying for their houses.
01/05/2012 18:18. The boycame over to eat a light dinner, which we waved from the freezer. He told us of how the people of Spain eat “dinner” at 10:00pm and how businesses are “forced” to give their workers at least three months paid vacation.

01/05/2012 16:32. At 16:07, I finished ten minutes of percussions with both of my hands upon the entire back of Maw while she coughed out thick mucus and two light-colored phlegm. Thanks to the 9-day Prednisone and 5-day antibiotics regime, she won’t have pneumonia.
01/05/2012 14:27. Maw mentioned how she doesn’t like retaliation. She said that Paw and her are fine; yet they are being blamed for not getting along with ungrateful relatives. She wondered how it all started. Gee! Let me recap on an old story:
Look what happened to the Chingster, she is/has been holding a grudge for over 23 years since the divorce with her husband. I don’t blame her for all the hurt the in-laws have caused her. But it was NOT fair for her only daughter to have suffered an unkind fate. Pride does that to people and everyone near gets affected, I’m afraid.
01/05/2012 14:15. Since parents want their own children to be successful, not all children have the best. For example, “Minh” has a daughter-in-law from Cavite, Philippines. Her mother has taken precedence over daughter’s life. “Minh’s” son has no choice but to go along with the wife because he already has children with her. In another example and although the boy and his wifey have jobs and own a home, it doesn’t matter if they don’t have children. Maw said they will find out later in life that earning over $100K income combined doesn’t replace life through the eyes of little ones.
01/05/2012 14:14. Maw mentioned how it didn’t matter if children ever remember their parents for what they are worth. She mentioned how her parents and greats have left their real property. The point is that parents are supposed to be happy/grateful that their children is at least successful with jobs and at least own their own home and make children, too.
01/05/2012 13:12 – 13:13. While watching a cable news programming on television, my thoughts were about protecting the environment by keeping the polluters inside the Union and punishing them for breaking environmental regulations. Neil was talking/interviewing with another man who mentioned how the Japanese (business) model would punish those who do NOT stay in the (labor) union.
01/05/2012 13:10. I mentioned to Maw how Uncle Ver doesn’t really like the Ampy’s side. I sensed he was putting up his pock-marked cheeks with the kisses from her little nieces and nephews the other time we saw them in the world buffet restaurant in Fremont, CA. Essentially, the gigalo is stuck with Ampy because he has nowhere to go. Even if he gambled three-months worth of mortgage money, the second wife has done a grave sin against two families and she won’t be talking with her ever.
Uncle Ver blamed Aunt-in-law Bella for gossiping, which was really an outlet for telling the whole truth. She just happened to unload her truth on the wrong people. She too had nowhere to go since her husband, my Uncle Dead has been insane from the beginning. Uncle Dead told Maw that it was too much to pay $30 a month for his stay with the Chingster. It was too much salt and pepper, paper and napkins in his books. This data/sentiment was revealed to Maw long ago. It goes to show how he was after money (or didn’t care about the “in-laws”). Even Aunt-in-law Babble complained to Maw that it was too expensive to pay monthly to the Chingster for their stay even after Butch, her daughter, was born!
01/05/2012. Somewhere around lunchtime, I gave the four adult parakeets a much-needed bath outdoors. It was HOT! The sun was bearing down on my and I started to sweat. The heat helped to dry the parakeets but after a few minutes the winds started to blow cold, according to Paw. The skies were amazingly crispy clear and blue all around!
01/05/2012 11:50. We were stopped at the left turn into the main street leading to Seafood City in Milpitas, CA and saw an old black guy sitting down on the corner of Morrill. He held up a white colored sign with black letters (all in capital letters), which read:
DISABLED. I HAD A JOB ONCE. NOW I AM OLD, ANYTHING YOU DO WILL HELP.
He wore a black vest and light olive greenish hat. He had gray hair and a prosthetic right leg bent at the knee. Of course, no one gave him anything. Maw said it is a shame that he would beg. But I noticed that he turned his head right as we came back from the main street to exit right and onto the opposite of the way we came.
01/05/2012 11:44. The dashboard of the MB E430 showed 41,656 (odometer) and 656.8 (speedometer). We were stopped at Morrill. Earlier, we left this morning’s mass right after communion, used the restroom in McD, dropped off Maw’s urine test of two orange-colored bottles, ate brunch at Erik’s Delicafe (of which Maw didn’t like the holiday special of turkey, cranberry and stuffing sandwich), talked about working to contribute to Social Security and saving money and shopping at the DeCA for ingredients for dessert (“bibingka“), which Maw will make for this Saturday’s prayer group. Yuch!
