  • Monsterous Monstrance

    When we last visited the elderly Filipino couple for three hours, we learned the latest status of the monstrance. Besides it being the donation via the wife’s SS, it is now locked up properly.

    After fighting tooth and nail with a white-haired old man who “ushered” in the truth of his “hard knock” like in the past, Father Michael had told those present at one time: “He is right.”

    Of course, the old fart talked of his toughness around the place and his right arm upper, of which he allowed me to feel, was tight. Maw and Paw were just sitting there thinking that this man is full of fighting spirit for the Lord.

    If only Father Michael is aware of how the price of over “four grand” made an elderly gardener cry and a “Dick” more cooperative to those who work once worked with government agencies in the past, I’m sure the place will be much more behaved.

  • Worse of the Two Singers

    Between Thai (a choir memeber) and Margaret (an opera singer), I prefer Thai. The tonality and speed at which Thai sings is somewhat closer to the small attendance of mostly senior citizens during each morning mass. The opera singer sings louder than the rest of us and NOT with us. That is the difference — one leads but doesn’t hold the notes well; while the other screams loudly into the microphone after the song is over: “ALLELUJAH!”

  • Buffalo Horn Hair

    This morning I awoke and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Lo and behold! I saw two horns flipped outward to form what appeared to be buffalo horns. The left “horn” was stretched out at my eye level. The right “horm” was hidden somewhere. I showed Maw and she smiled and told me to wet it down.

    With my high forehead and poofed out hair, the lowered horns gave me the appearance of a buffalo.

  • Long Cow Poo

    I was constipated this morning and took one cupful of “MOM” for good measure. Morning mass went without incident of farting and smelling up the place. I noticed too that the old men sitting to my left are either not present or don’t smell as bad.

    After mass, the grumbling sound and gaseous pressure eminating from my lower abdomen signaled its distress — it was time to poop. So I had decided to go upstairs and do my “number two”. And straining in a few seconds, one solid, light-brown colored poo came out of my body! Another but shorter version came out easily too.

    Anyway, I needed to flush the toilet and had my right hand on the knob of the faucet leading to the toilet in case the bowl overflowed. Sure enough, the damn unit would NOT flush! As I saw the water rise slowly upward, I quickly turned the water off.

    After around one dozen gallons of hot water from the nearby tub and via the pink-colored wash basin from Maw’s hospital stays long ago, I was able to let gravity do the flushing. It worked. Some water spilled onto the floor but I didn’t mind cleaning up my own mess. After all, as per an old Japanese article, it’s good discipline to wipe down the lid and bowl of the toilet: “Cleaniness is next to godliness.”

    Tip for the day: Poo downstairs. If you are unsure, if long cow poo won’t flush, turn off the damn faucet! Use buckets of at least HOT water to break up long cow poo: This allow for cleaner toilet and assurance of flushing later on.

  • Heart Bosom Cloud

    Two days ago and as a usual morning routine, I had opened up the blinds. But this time, I saw something special indeed — the upper part of a heart cloud (or two bumps of a bosom). It was through the upstairs window to my computer bedroom did I get that surprise greeting. Haha! Funny.

  • Black Bumblebee

    Yesterday, after finishing up my yardwork on a fine and dandy day, I looked up and saw the same FAT, black bumblebee! I’d say he is as big as the first phlange of a guy’s thumb. He was buzzing slowly above my head but in front as he went inside his home, a rotten portion of our rafter in the backyard.

  • 20110425-My Bad

    Just when breakfast was about to be served, I heard Maw yell: “Come down here”! Earlier, I had ran upstairs in the hopes of quickly changing from my church clothes into my comfortable, grungy clothes. She told me I had started a fire. For whatever reason, she craned her next quickly to the right. It was a sense from her “guardian angel” telling of danger.

    That’s right! I’m prone to starting fire, just by leaving the stove burner on. I was steaming three frozen chicken burritos in the usual steamer, which had the smell of burned plastic from the looks of what was once a light, gray-colored handle charred into melted black. The powerful fan sucked out the bad air but thank goodness the food was still good. Later on, I removed the two screws and threw away the now sharpened handles away.

    It wasn’t the first time I started a fire indoors. Long ago, I was trying to cook something but needed to warm up some oil. Again, I left the stove unattended but was still downstairs. Of course, the orange-colored flash burn of fire started up because the oil was too hot, one could feel the heat just standing one feet away. At least the boy was nearby to offer assitance to put out the flames.

    Other times would be a kettle of boiling water. Paw usually doesn’t care to remove the container from the burner and let the whistling sound continue until I came back to turn off the stove. That’s

  • Locking Down Initiated

    I believe our AT&T U-verse services have not been working for the past few minutes. I tried to download updates (IE9 and MSE) but the “online service” didn’t work. I tried to reboot the DVD-recorder once but the “cable service” didn’t work after the second reboot. The “no line” is showing up on our wireless telephones for the “voice service”.

    We were trying to watch “The Simpsons Movie” on regular cable programming. It’s about the EPA (a government agency) locking down Springsfield, Illinoise with a glass dome! And Homer is trying to save his nuclear-powered town.

    *The “voice service” has been restored a few minutes ago.

  • RCIA Suave

    Well, tonight’s Easter Vigil mass went for two hours from 8:00pm to 10:00pm. There were four servers and six priests, including the presiding one, who sang parts of the mass. The choir is much better and louder, too. Some of the mostly elder members sang solo for the responsorial psalms and Litany of the Saints. I couldn’t help myself and had to sing along, melody and harmony, of course.

    The presiding priest gave a sermon about the second stanze to the Responorial Psalm from the Second Reading:

    (Psalm 16:5, 8, 9-10, 11)

    “Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices, my body, too, abides in confidence; because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld, nor will you suffer your faithful one to undergo corruption.”

    He explained the mass was about INCORRUPTIBLE bodies, not the body of J. Christ missing from the tomb or stolen by thieves, and of course the resurrection. He went on further about Son of David, not King of David and something about seven weeks.

    Later, there were those who received Baptism Eucharist and Confirmation: Three females and two males. Three more females made a Profession of Faith and received Eucharist and Confirmation. I got pissed when Maw whispered loudly in my right ear hole. The sensation left behind wouldn’t go away for a few minutes. I jammed my red purse containing Shrimpsei’s OtterBox in between us.

    Anyway, the lighting of the Easter Candle was done in the dark as well as the readings. I managed to follow along without my glasses! Then the announcements were made. This one is found in this week’s bulletin.

    “On the suggestion of the parishioner, [our parish] has had T-Loops installed in the Church. The loops surround the two front sections of pews closets to the altar, labeled with blue placards. Two-thirds of the U.S. hearing aids have the setting enhanced by these loops. We encourage our parishioners with hearing aids to take advantage of these special additions to our Church.”

    Of course, we could plainly hear the buzz inside our skulls. That’s a lot of radio wave frequency. Oh, and the usual red-faced entities were present, one of which was a photographer, standing all nice and proper as would a “fellow brother”.

  • Fascist Regimes

    Unity is supposed to be, well, efficient. However, it’s not the most effective model. During Monday morning’s mass, the priest said his sermon about how technology changed the world. However, after 2000 years people have not changed. Even the fascist have NOT changed. They will continue “business as usual” through and by the upcoming president elect in the year 2012. The guy has lots of connections in various countries. Of course, he co-mingles with top leaders.

    Which leaves me to believe that fascism, like a big-headed, yellow corn-bellied Pacman, will eventually “eat up” third world countries, rendering them obsolete, written off the pages of history as we have already seen and removing any cultural heritage of their ancestors by influencing descendants to accept technology for improvement of living conditions through various media outlet, such as cell/iphones, online internet, television/cable broadcast and radio heads.

    I see now how police brutality is on the rise against humanity and animals alike. I see now how politics have served to further the control over ANCIENT souls. I see now how business will promote the solutions to humanity’s suffering caused by these evil entities. I see now how there is no good coming out of technology. It separates humanity by impersonal means of communications. There is no more togetherness in the sense of being in the same room with loved ones.

    Long distance relationships is but a gimmick. Read the latest updates on the walls of your Facebook friends and you know what I mean. More nonsense is shared online and that doesn’t do anything to improve people’s attitude toward each other but create more detachment to the solving of problems in real time with each other.

    I see how this “conquer and divide” works. Give what the monkeys want and more to the point of justified addiction for their shallow existence. Instill distrust among kin folks. Destroy individuality by making citizens work harder for material goods that doesn’t feed the soul or starving people. Let them worry about the next mortgage payment instead of the next person dying.

    I see now the world will have to be destroyed along with the morons that continue to plague the planet. Prove me wrong.

  • Black Beetle

    This morning we arrived prior to the 8:00am Morning Prayers. But I saw a big black beetle and I wasted to scoop it up in the paper to bring outdoors to run free. Oh! But it’s little black antennas scanned the paper. It then paused and started to run away very fast! I back up and out of its way as it went underneath the raised feet of the Vietnamese old lady. I wish it well.

  • 20110421-My Bad

    I’ve got a BAD ATTITUDE! That’s right! I almost caused an accident this morning. We were already on the road after coming from this “Morning’s Prayer”. Normal mass was not celebrated.

    Down the road, I was traveling 40 miles per hour. I saw the green light to a four way intersection up ahead. But a white car directly in front of me was stopped and wouldn’t move out of MY WAY!

    So I quickly scooted to the right lane without signaling and assumed that I was in the clear. When suddenly out of my rear view mirror, I saw a black-colored BMW barreling down MY LONG STRETCH OF ROAD NEAR THE FOOTHILL OF MT. HAMILTON!

    I quickly stopped to make sure it didn’t rear end me. The front of Paw’s MERCEDES BENZ was still slightly into the right lane and the ASIAN honked his horn and scooted safely to my right WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING!

    “Something is pushing you from behind to race with drivers on the road!” Maw had screamed from the back seat.

    Perhaps there were many reminders afterwards. Another SLOW MOVING VEHICLE won’t get out of MY WAY! And of course I was tailgating it. The old lady with big reddish hair took her time. Of course the two old farts started ranting in my earholes. But I didn’t care.

    Yesterday were many reminders to SLOW DOWN! My impatience won’t stop until people GET OUT OF MY WAY! That includes: You fat bastard! I know you are reading this weblog of mine. You, your brother and your family owe hundreds of us.

    Don’t think TPTB, Obama and pals will cover your ass. That was your failure: To test the will of God, love and trust. You guys are a bunch of failures!

    “Can I curse them to hell fire and brimstone for eternity and use my fiery sword to cut off their heads?” I had mumbled under my breath to Maw. We were at MY railroad intersection at that time. Earlier yesterday from 4:00pm to 5:00pm, we traveled to Michael’s to get Maw’s eggplant-colored yarn for my vest.

    “Don’t do that. It’s not nice.” Maw said to me. She and Paw are not violent people, of course. But I sure as heck would let the heads of annoying entities roll for GETTING IN MY WAY!
