  • Not Understanding

    With my bad hearing and their thick accent, I could not understand the two-day project. My brain is still geared to the penny and now they had me allocating `widgets` between the months of August and September! I couldn’t see how they wanted to split the orders! For me that ‘s a no-no based on my background!

    Either you have the customer’s widgets or your don’t. That’s called customer service. It’s scary to think that people would ask for something and it’s not there. Trust me: I know the feeling after all these years. My thoughts were racing. My eyes were filling up with tears. I sat in my chair all dejected and nervous – thinking I would split the orders in error.

    I hated this project but I needed to keep my job so that I could hang on to what’s left of my money to pay of the debt caused primarily by speculations with a bunch of INVESTORS!

    Waaahhh!

  • Fresh Oil

    Over the weekend, I noticed that fresh oil was laid over our roads! Here are the locations:

    • Railroad intersection on MY road.
    • Highway 101 near the Old Oakland exits and up to my First Street exit.
    • Road across from the eBay headquarter.

    Must be courtesy of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

  • Changing Corporations

    Which sounds better?

    -United States of America.

    or

    -United Feds of America.

    Shouldn’t the states make their own policies, such as immigration, instead of bowing down to the likes of the federal government?

  • 20091116-Get Advanage

    At around noontime a black chap rang the door bell and sold me one bottle of Advanage™ Wonder Cleaner – The Natural, Powerful, Multipurpose Cleaner:

    Lavender is ideal for people who want the lingering, calming scent of lavender in the home. With minimal effort, it is gentle enough for your finest fabrics yet strong enough to remove the most difficult stains.

    I’ll test this `Natural, Non-Toxic, Biodegradable` product (which is `Now with Patented [that] Surfactant Instantly cuts through oils, grease and grime.) I hope it cleans up the soap scums, molds and mildew in the upstairs showers. Like any cleansing products, there is NO label listing the ingredients or secret proprietors special formula.

    I was thinking, `Where’s the phosphorus, the real stuff the cleans yet pollutes the environment?` I heard over the airwaves months ago that some agents are selling in the black market these phosphorus-containing cleansing products. It’s because it works better than any chemicals out there!

  • 20091013-Rainy Day

    Awoke to morning rain. Saw that the two hibiscus plants with flowers still intact are up against the brick-colored, painted redwood chairs of the patio and that the tomato plant up against the pepper plant with one flame red pepper.

    Saw 5-gallon buckets (from The Home Depot and Orchard Supply Hardware) capturing dirty, brown water from the gutter of the patio. Removed the second bucket and replaced with empty bucket.

    Lots of rain against the south side of the house and droplets of water washing and dripping downward upon the windows clean and right through the screen as seen through the upstairs computer room.

    Jose C. from `J & H Appliance Repair` came over for one hour (between 09:00am to 10:00am) and repaired the broken rubber piece: removed and replaced with a part meant for a `Guido` who didn’t want to pay regular price of $75.00 but from him, only $25.00 (with $10.00 tip for his `McDonald’s`).

    His face looks Mayan, even though he said his parents were from Mexico. I saw a tattoo of four dots in the form of a square located at the left side of his thumb knuckle and another tattoo of spokes on the inside of his left finger somewhere.

    We joked around that J stand for Jose and H stands for Hector, which really is Jerry and Harriet. He played cool and professional.

  • 20091006-Playing Out

    I feel ACORN should be shut-down completely. I don’t know why the black people don’t take a hint. The purpose of that organization is a cover-up what white folks started in the first place.

    And now a black CEO is trying to keep the charade going by defending what is really a criminal organization, where embezzlement, poor accounting, prostitution, voters fraud and probably drugs are involved.

    I also feel that the poor will continue to be suppressed and thugs will continue to be what they are designed to do: bully other people into subservient slaves to their every whims. I see no change here but more MOOLAH for the rich as stupid donations are funneled to feed this monster.

  • 20090916-As Usual

    Politics has become `business as usual`. While eating breakfast with a surprise visit from Ben and “Minh” and their cute grandson, we learned that Philippines has become nothing more than a big conglomerate of profit-seeking politicians, businesses and lawyers, too, along with the authorities backing up their status quo.

    Filipinos know that working here and paying taxes is not going to get them anywhere. So some move back to the Philippines and retire. The lucky ones get to be elected into government positions, where Senators earn around 120 million pesos and Congressmen earn around 40 million pesos.

    It’s all about lagay, a Filipino term loosely used to describe the activities of paying under the table to get what they want, like selling lands and avoiding government taxation instead of paying for paperwork costing around 30,000 pesos and being worth more than the value of a sold property! The business model works to their advantage on both sides. The profit are taken back to America and real property is bought with cold hard cash. Paying all sorts of taxes, of course, cannot be avoided.

    But the point is that the Philippines has become the property of foreigners, mostly Asians of Chinese, Japanese and Korean descent. This is fine: For Filipinos are `looked-down` or `frowned-upon` and considered laborers, looking for any job that would put food on the table, even if it means to serve as maids, prostitutes and workers on the oil rigs of Nigeria and Saudi Arabia.

    As you can see by now, corruption is rampant in the political arena worldwide. Congress in America has passed so many laws, which has been sponsoring Middle Eastern, as I would put it, TERRORISTS, by free hand-outs in the form of subsidies for education, automobiles and other properties that taxpayers are working hard to support.

    I, say, all politicians and any legislation passed by Congress must be removed and revoked, respectively, including government funded organizations such as ACORN and other morally and ethically corrupt activities from money laundering, human trafficking, tax evasion, etc…

    Overall, stop the status quo of funding corrupt government officials and its government contractors, Barry.

  • 20090825-Need Security

    For those interested in security for their homes, you may contact:

    Safe N Sound Inc at 925-952-8576.

    Maw intercepted a phone call from them at 19:37pm on 08/24/2009. She answered nicely (unlike moi per my previous blog entries) and declined the offer. She didn’t tell them we imprisoned ourselves already in some black-colored iron bars with pretty scrolls, too, for the doors and windows of the first floor.

    After figuring out what was happening with the recent rise in phone calls after the installation of the AT&T U-verse service, I went back online a few minutes ago and re-registered our three phone numbers (two land lines and one cellphone) via donotcall.gov. An email was sent for EACH of the registered phone numbers and I clicked on each link to activate each one.

  • 20090825-Phone Idiot

    Once again, I’m a phone idiot and tried my best to be nice instead of rude. So on 08/23/2009 and after getting off the phone with the survey, I’ve contacted PG&E via email.

    On Tuesday, August 25, 2009 2:57 AM, I received a reply back from “Customer Service Online” <CustomerServiceOnline@pge.com> regarding how PERSONAL the recorded survey appeared to our household members.

    The call was received from PA Consulting at 608-316-3700 at 11:08am on 8/23/2009.

    I just replied to the survey on how well the response to my inquiry via email was answered on first contact. I suggested PG&E provide online surveys instead of phone surveys, since I’m no good verbally.

  • 20090601-Cleaning House

    General Motors (GM) has been delisted from the U.S. stock market and replaced w/ Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO). HO HUM! Trust me: I know how big companies (i.e. CSCO) operate! I’ve seen stuff from the inside, which I will NOT disclose as long as you, Barry, FIX TPTB, now!

    Start by cleaning up the mess in Chicago, its old school thugs & pals. Get rid of insurance scams on race horses, people’s homes and other investment schemes tied in with the stock market, which is really a larger and more corrupt version of gambling casinos y’all find on Native Indian reservations and/or the likes of Las Vegas, Nevada (NV).

    BTW, I kinda like some of the stuff contained in Sharia law. Chop! Chop! Get to work! Hiyah! Mule!

    ‘Until deaths do us part’ is to ‘until debt do us part’.
    ‘Until we meet again’ is to ‘until we cheat again’.

     Oog! Oog! Maliking itlog!
    Akembok ang lee-it ko!
    Ang laking ang tee-tee mo!

    Happy bird! Happy bird!
    I am a good girl turned bad;
    Away from being a nerd;
    Just to fit the latest fad.

    (Three ‘poems’ created on Saturday, July 12, 2008 10:15:06 PM)

    Knife through our hearts to sound like they’re smart;
    And blame their own in-laws for their misdeeds and flaws;
    Throwing their darts to high heavens like fart.

    Defending their worldviews; smoke, gamble and booze;
    Twisting and turning; burning not learning;
    Ranting and raving; craving not saving.

    I believe that all religion starts out as scams. It only takes one person with lots of time to spare to come up with something new and innovative and imagination to pen these creative thoughts and ideas into words to fool lots of gullible believers, who in turn, sell the fictitious materials to other ignorant believers. And when the monetary incentive to help keep the profit ball from rolling is messed up by debunkers who come in and ruin the fun, dangerous people seem to come out to stop the truth: It’s all about business and not saving one’s soul or healing a person.

    Friends Like You make me want to hurl.
    Tinkering with a toy – a little girl.
    The EasyCat® touchpad I remember well.
    You jumped up and down my little pearl.
