  • 20090816-Harvesting Garden

    After dinner tonight, we three decided to harvest our fruits and vegetables:

    • 65 – spicy peppers (green),
    • 20 – eggplants,
    • 16  – bitter melon and
    • one recycling bin (yellow) of pears, which Paw separated between edible and trash.

    Actually, I did MOST of the harvest with my bare hands and and pair of scissors. Maw and I started with the spicy, green peppers (long), then the eggplants, followed by bitter melon and the pears, which took longer since I was too short to could reach the top of the tree and was able to get the job done by using a kitchen stepping stool for the extra height.

    The tenants (a Filipino couple in their sixties) of the next door neighbor received some vegetables, which Maw handed over the standard height fence dividing our property on top of a 6 foot ladder, which Paw held steady for her. He also cut some New Zealand spinach for them.

    These bountiful blessings will be distributed to some parishioners, who are mostly friendly to Maw than to Paw or me – both of us are quieter and non-interactive in conversation.

  • 20090815-Fishy Smell

    Besides eating Maw’s home cooked Filipino fish dishes of tilapia, mackarel, pinaksiew, tinapas, bangus, etc., I’ve been taking a dietary supplement: 1,000 mg fish oil made from cold water, deep sea fish with Omega 3 by Leiner Health Products, which was bought earlier this year from our local drug store, CVS.

    Eating anything fishy SMELLS. This means a person MUST take frequent showers because the fish oil makes its way to the pores of the skins and into the the air, right up the nostrils of sensitive olfactories. I know because I could smell the stuff on my person.

    For example, Jane H. a former temporary worker from my former employer near Great America Theme Park in Santa Clara, CA, smelled like fish, EVERDAY! We Filipinos made fun among ourselves every time we work around that tall, Greek woman. The odor is overpowering!

    So while trying to keep healthy has a price, makes sure the body odor is kept to a minimal. So this bottle of 100 softgel will expire in December 2009 and although I don’t wish to take this for my own good, I force myself whenever I remember, not religiously, though. It stinks!

  • 20090813-Daily Diary

    Attended 0800am mass. Ate @ McD. Drove to Maw’s doctor’s appt: waited in car while trying to listen to `El Rushbeau`; to read `Liberty & Tyranny` and ended up blogging a bit and napping.

    Went to Magats store to buy tinapas fish and meat stuff for lunch. @ 11:27am: tall, dark-shaded, bug-eyed, big ass Mexicana came out of a discount store and spat on the sidewalk; while I waited in the Mercedes-Benz E430. Of course, I made expletives through the opened windows. Low class, reptoids.

    Did yardwork of blowing eucalyptus leaves, sweeping, hauling and piling on MY road for pick-up tomorrow morning (every Friday). Ate tinapas fish for lunch. Took shower. Blogged upstairs. Enjoying clear, blue skies and cool breeze blowing through the tree branches, which are dancing and waving in the air.

  • 20090812-Calm Keets

    After giving parakeets bath 2 days ago, they’ve been quiet &calm. During 2 days of heatwave, Simon & Pimon would scream hunger-filled seed bowl: fat, can’t fly.

  • 20090803-Looking Studly

    After seeing interview w/ Greta, Rush Limbaugh does look better. Heard anorexics on ‘The View’ & pals denounce his diet regime. Part of health is detoxifying…

  • 20090725-Breaking Bread

    Instead of breaking bread as public apology, Obama invited Gates & Crowley over for beer. Why not throw in a dozen donuts & bagels for the cop to sweeten the deal?

  • 20090725-Stupid Pawns

    If I were Sergeant James M. Crowley, I wouldn’t meet with Obama or that Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. at the White House. If Sgt. Crowley, does decide to go, he’s a pee-on, just like that Joe the Plumber, a shill, well-paid or not!

    Drinking a friggin’ beer with the `Chosen One` means foregoing the principles of the constitution, whereby the president shouldn’t be meddling in the affairs of the state; giving more unwanted praise-worthy attention to that pretentious faker, Obama, who doesn’t deserve to be known as a peace-maker and letting the whole world know how stupid people are to go along with the Statists.

    This stupid, public relations set-up should NOT distract the American citizens from the agenda of the Demon-crats to push their stupid `universal healthcare` reform! Everything’s fine with the free-market system if only the government butts out and stop spending the taxpayers’ money!

  • 20090719-End Caps

    To keep your loaves of bread fresh, refrigerate one & freeze the rest. Toast only the slices w/o the ends, which is used as end caps until it reaches other end.

  • 20090716-Roughing Coffee

    Real coffee is taken BLACK w/o cream, sugar or HIGH fructose corn syrup, which promotes diabetes, a very complicated medical condition. Stop drinking StarBucks!

    Old white guy w/ gray hair, lobster red face & horns popping out wore dirty black tank top. Old white lady & tall Mexicano removed him from McD. Red truck via drive-thru gave him food.
