    Another chapter in life closes
    Leaving behind a friend
    To “take care of his own”
    And his family…

    In a blink of an eye,
    In a shed of a salty tear,
    “Keep going” they say
    “Take care of yourself”

    Sleep well, be well…
    Another book in life will be read
    Next time will be better
    They promised…

    Yesterday, Paw harvested eggplants (purple and albino/white) and two BIG chayote squash. Here are photos.

    (Paw threw away the perfectly thriving eggplants.)

    If only I was light as snow
    I’d fly down to alight upon your head
    And you won’t even know
    I was there to say:
    “Here I am! I love you!”

    “Make someone happy”

    Donate today!

    But can you really tell

    Who deserves your charity?

    Look around in Facebook,

    A popular social networking site.

    Surely, you can tell a happy face

    From a fake face, who feeds off

    Your positive feed backs.

    Are these the kinds of people

    You want on your “Friends’ list?

    After all, they are happy,

    Just fine without your help.

    Author’s note: Instead of taking my photo(s) to fulfill the “requirements” of the “Weekly Photo Challenge”, I will attempt to write a poetry based on Matt’s photo: faces. This poem took about one minute to create. I don’t know if it is appropriate but that’s how inspiration works — quick and easy.

    On 09/15/2011 at 14:56pm, I sent the girl a text message that she can have the cake and eat it; that we will never call her again and that she was told to never come to this house again. Maw had cried that the dummy dumped the flower and card at the first/front door. That’s a sign of rudeness in our culture, disrespect to the old lady on her birthday and disregard to her in-laws/relatives. I don’t care if the nit-wit hates me. That’s for the record via my cellphone’s “Messaging.” We have learned empowerment from other people with nasty in-laws. We are normally peaceful people. Now that the old timers can’t fight back, I am “stepping-in”: Enough is enough.

    On 09/15/2011 at 10:08am, we were stopped at the streetlight intersection of Montague Expressway. There were three black pigeons atop the street light ahead. My mind created a poetry:” We pigeon three | though small can fly | and sit on this electronic eye.” The Creator can move. Computers cannot.

    On 09/15/2011 at 09:2am, I was thinking about how people are merely bio-participants in this large petri dish of life. My mind saw a lock of a basic shape. And a key came from my right field of vision and unlocked that catalyst of life. And thus forth came the bubbling therein. Like chemistry, the bath will have settled.

    On 09/15/2011 at 09:20am, I recalled an incident long ago. I was waiting to check out my items and stood in line at a Seven Eleven store. In front of me, there was a family — three girls and an old man. They appeared to be either Middle Eastern or South Asian Indian.  They had finished their purchase or something, which I cannot remember. But I do remember clearly, the old man handed each girl some money from his wallet. Each time the “daughter” would say: “Thank you, Father!” That was mighty respectful.

    On 09/14/2011 at 15:52pm, I told myself to remember taking a quick snap-shot of three poster boards: “Hillary for President – HillaryClinton.com” (Paid for by Hillary Clinton for President Exploratory Committee). We did attend that rally in downtown San Jose, CA and I had uploaded a short video of Hillary speeching into my YouTube.com account.

    On 09/14/2011 at 15:46pm, I recall standing by our Magnovox stereo system, which was wooden all over and had a television in the middle with big speakers on either side. Two white men were selling “The International Library of Piano Music” (a 17-volume book edition). Maw was so excited that she bragged to these “black-suited” men that I knew how to read complicated notes. I had to stand in front of the accompaning vinyl record to listen and to follow the notes to a piano piece by Claude Debussy “Clair de lune from “Suite Bergamasque“. I was so embarrassed. But now I could play this song.

  • Bastos again…

    image

    There has been deep manipulation going on at the home front since the beginning they met. Here is my summary (based on my presumed observations):

    On August 13: I scolded the boy via text messages from my cellphone. I sent a text message for the girl to contact an elder. On the same day, the girl delayed replying to my text message and SCHEDULED to contact the elder the following day instead of simply calling up on the same day to find out if there is anything the elder needs!!!

    On August 14: I invited the girl to come over the last minutes to discuss the earlier day’s situation with her and the elder. She refused: Bastos!

    I received positive responses from the boy via text messages on August 14, 18 and 21.

    Fast forward one month later without further communication from the manipulative couple, we received calls and text messages on September 12. Just like the Shill and the Chingster, we too refused to communicate with them and actually enjoyed our life without their presence. The poor card and helpless flowers were left at the door and outdoors in the freezing cold: Bastos! We will donate the flowers to the church so that the flowers will feel wanted.

    —

    I’m sensing the boy is using the girl, who is trying to buy gifts to make it appear she is doing her job: Bastos! The elders refuse to see her face. The elders refuse to allow the two from entering the house UNINVITED and bringing their bad luck. If they play superstition to avoid people who are smelly, divorced and poor, we will play superstition, too, and avoid being  TIs to their manipulations.

    Go away. Go back where you belong. You are not needed here.

    We are eating at McD after shopping over two hours for a few clothes for Maw at Kmart up in Hayward, CA. When we came out of the store, we saw a fellow vagrant who works our neighborhood in San Jose, CA! That means he knows how to get around town! So folks, this is yet another wake up call that not all homeless bums are without means. We spoke to a brunette lady waiting near the column in front of the parking lot.
