    Yeah! The winds keep blowing and the leaves keep falling! That will keep me busy with the electric blower! I love the blustery winds. It’s quite uplifting and it feels like I could fly as I close my eyes in thanks and gratitude. The air is clean and fresh. The skies during the day and night are crispy and clear, too.

    But Maw and I stayed indoors while blogging and keeping busy with house chores. We were planning to lower the second open shed of orchid containers. But it was too windy for us. Paw on the other hand enjoyed walking around in the backyard with his spacious cement area, which was cleared two days ago of a make-shift shed. He even harvested some persimmon fruits.

  • 20111017-Noticing Numbers

    While upstairs, I am/was listening to Mark R. Levin on our local radio station 560am KSFO.

    On 05:22pm and before the usual ten minute commerical break, Mark says: “I need to prove to the whole world that you are a moron.”

    On 5:33pm, the show starts up again. He has valid reasons to be angry at the POTUS administration and pals. But like anyone given the opportunity to vent publically five days a weeks, doesn’t do anything, except through law/suits, which most of us COMMONERS have no power whatsoever except attend meetings and verbalize our expectations and desires.

    So while our voices are not being heard and while the protests won’t do much to dent the alleged agenda for an alleged NWO by the alleged Illuminati, we are screwed one way or another. Why? Because these people are still in office; taxation is not abolished; usury is still being charged and I still can’t get back my money!

    At 05:35pm, I saw four dark-colored geese flying from the south in one straight line; towards the sunset; and parallel to our “south” facing wall of the house.

  • City of San José – Animal Care & Services

    image

    Here is a photo showing the white truck with (408) 794-7297 and the weblink http://sanjoseanimals.com/ on the back.

    At around 12:30pm, I was en route to CVS/Pharmacy to buy Maw her birthday card. When I encountered a “blond” Mexicana on the ground. She was on her hands and knees and looking underneath her tanned-colored, Saturn car. I tried flushing the kitty out with hissing sounds and tried a white, plastic CVS bag.

    Another Mexicano couple also was trying to offer assistance. The husband tried flushing the “green-eyed”, gray-colored tabby kitty with his sunshield; while my black, Tote umbrella did no good to convince the frightened animal to come out from underneath the slightly “lowered” vehicle.

    So the wife used her bright blue cellphone to call three numbers, which I wrote down in the following order: 408-277-8950; 408-465-2920; and 408-794-7297 (Prompt 1 and Prompt 1, again).

    I had my maroon-colored pen (Steven Pogue) and notepad (Nexus) handy for any valuable information and read off the numbers to the Mexicana.

    We waited thirty minutes for the San Jose Animals Services to help with the situation. We were frustrated for the run around and worried for the kitty but hopeful.

    Two ladies in uniform and utility belts, sporting what appeared to be a rechargable “taser,” found our location and had requested for a tow truck, which probably won’t come around for the whole day!

    “You’ve got to be kidding me.” ~Said one of the short-haired, blond lady.

    The couple and I had to leave at around 1:25pm. We hugged the lady and went our ways.

  • Donating again at Goodwill…

    image

    After Paw reviewed online articles of the possible effects of dementia and Alzheimer’ disease from aluminum ingestion, Paw and I donated: *2 aluminum woks (with one aluminum lid of red color); two aluminum, electric rice cookers, a wire shoe rack of white color, one electrical wok, one blue bin and a bag of shoes. While waiting for the black guy to finish filling out his receipt, I took a photo of the following items that:

    Goodwill of Silicon Valley accepts all BUT the following donations:

    • Furniture in need of repair – soiled, stained, missing pieces, etc. Furniture that cannot be re-sold.

  • Want more cameras?

    Okay, the fireworks are still going on illegally in my neighborhood. I don’t expect the SJPD to come for help because everyone moron is going to fight tooth and nail for peace on their own.

    For the VTA/Bart project, I want cameras on all intersections for security and safety reason. These people cannot be playing with fireworks around the potential for busy train stations in my area.

  • 20110704-More Spooks

    At 10:33pm, I heard the low rumbling hum of my, err, watchers rolling by in their vehicle and at the same time the sounds of fireworks mysteriously but temporarily ceased. All you have to do is read my blog. I’m sure the SJPD would have gotten some nice revenue from citing these “fun-seeking” morons, who are probably unemployed and still living with their parents.

  • Orgone Gifts of Love

    On June 3, 2010, I’ve received several “gifts of love” from Lena and Shrimpsei. Below are some photos from my Flickr.com account:

    20100603-IMG_7803
    Nano Lemurian Protector Pendant Triangle (Kyanite)

     

    “Dennis wanted you to have a new incarnation nano-pendant… In this one the lapis bead floated so it gets gifted. :)”

    It was to have replaced my first nano-pendant, which got washed. The brass clasp broke off as a result. I hope this second jewelry won’t be washed either!

    For more information on the “Nano Lemurian Protector Pendant Triangle (Kyanite)“, please visit the “Orgone Crystals” website.

    Peaceful Orgone Piece

     

    “This is your piece for peace with the neighbors — lots of tourmaline… The black dots on the bottom are nano-dots with a big chunk of blade tourmaline in the middle.”

    It is to bring peace to my neighbors. One is a divorced nutter, who is married to her second husband, an illegal ALIEN. They are much more behaved after we requested the SJPD to talk with the guy. Nothing was “filed”, of course. Sheesh.

    Prosperity Piece

     

    “This is your “prosperity piece”… Peridot on top. A handful each of red ruby, emeralds and sapphire inside. Lots of nano inside. Enjoy! :)”

    Within the same month of June 2010, I have received an offer for a six-month temporary job assignment from hell. It was a “god-send”, really. And hopefully, the client will have hired the three of us full-time with benefits.

    Orgone Nano Tube

     

    “This is a prototype for a stirring wand to charge water. Stir in a vortex for about 30 seconds and taste the difference… Will improve cheap wine and get the chlorine taste out of water. […]”

    Binky the parakeet seems to like it.

  • Tagged Out

    After only one day since the invitation from ‘MessiahMews’ to join, I couldn’t take it anymore and deleted my online account for meeting people. All I got was five views of my profile in 24 hours and two e-mails to view two photos of older men. The first photo was a dark-skinned South Asian Indian from yesterday. The second photo showed a topless white man from today. I should have saved those photos but was too disgusted. I cried.

    I had it with dating, period. You don’t know what it is like ‘dating’ older men. They are either already involved with other people or on the verge of getting divorced with their wives. All they do is take advantage of me. I know. I met that Pete and pals who have been holding me hostage for the last eight years. And this is all because I am foolish, stupid and ignorant to believe he is my friend. There is nothing in this world that will fix whatever happened in the past. There is no going forward either. I tried.

    I created that online profile and added all the juicy material that I thought would have been open and honest. I don’t trust anyone, period. It’s that cut and dry. Either you need to be sincere about have a serious relationship with me or you are out of my life forever. Betray me once, I could forgive. But betray twice, I could never go back.  I’m having none of that crap. I thought I wanted to start all over again. I know now that I’m not interested in meeting other people. I lied.

    Below is the sample profile:

    FLYNN Says…

    1. Dating: I want to meet someone special, probably someone older and taller than me. He could cook for I am good eater but not picky. If he knows how to sing and dance, that’s a plus. If he converses about anything, I’m all ears. Don’t expect me to talk because I’m too shy and quiet. Regurgitating intelligent words and stringing those words into long, coherent sentences is hard enough. 2. Friends: I don’t have any friends. So whoever wants to hang out with me is fine. I choose my friends and those that have the staying power to know I exist are fine by me, too. I don’t like friends that impress. I can smell insecurity up front. 3. Serious Relationship: I figured it’s time to find someone to grow old together. I see myself watching a nice sunset together in a couple of rocking chairs. 4. Networking: I already know how this area works. This means the buddy system helps each other in times of need, whether it is to head-hunt for jobs or support to get back on their feet

    Music

    Listening to music can be from ‘Classical to hard rock’; from ‘Easy listening to smooth jazz’; and from ‘Oldies to rave’. I was originally trained with classical music and learned rock music was better. Depending on the mood, I could listen to calmer music. But mostly loud music hurts my ears and I generally avoid those places where lots of people dance too close together and get drunk. I do dance well. Line dancing is an ice breaker for us single folks. It’s easy too. And if given a chance I would impress the crowd with my good singing voice via a karaoke machine. This means singing to instrumental music can be best achieved with some lyrics and basic melody. Popular music on the radio makes my day.

    Movies

    Going out to the movies is expensive and would do so occasionally with other people and probably initially during dates. Renting videos is also expensive and I learned to avoid getting charged ‘late fees’ by watching the clerk enter my returns in person. Cable programming would be a better alternative and is convenient at home. Access to food, water and the toilet is always available. Any slap stick comedy would really make me laugh out loud and pop a few veins in my brain. Horror flicks or violence are not necessary. I’m actually afraid of the dark cannot sleep without my night light turned on. Action and adventure is always fun and gets me excited. Science fiction and fantasy can include cartoon animated shows.

    My Best Features

    I don’t know if I have any ‘best features’. None of my facial features stand out as attractive. But I feel I pass as pretty enough, right. My body is average without too much fat bulging out and my health is good. I keep in shape 30 minutes a day by exercising to a pirated tape of Filipinos singing a medley to Neil Sedaka, Paul Anka, ABBA, and the Carpenters. All I need are a good pair of hiking shoes to get anywhere. Running hurts my knees. In private, I am humorous. In public, I’m patient. To most people, I appear aloof and approachable. But inside, I fear their closeness, which is fine by me and less drama in life I’d have to deal with from others. Overall, I make a good dog who won’t mind running errands, acting as a chauffer and pseudo-masseur.

    What I’m Into

    Blogging and ranting is what all I do well. Prior to my recent discovery of my ability to write well, I was pretty much keeping to myself and not talking much. Now I am empowered to share whatever I experience with ease. I tried photography but grew tired of that. Then I retire myself from playing the piano and guitar. Singing is done mostly during daily mass at my local church. So I’m basically reading online articles about politics, religion and other conspiracy related interests. I’m into the spiritual aspect of human conditions and nature and how the world exists with the good, bad and ugly. I’m always seeking answers to many questions from many teachers, near and far.

    My Dreams

    I dream of traveling the world and meeting people. Then again I’m a home girl at best and prefer the comfort of my foam mattress at home anytime. It’s my back that needs the most support. I dream of getting married but prefer living-in to find out how a relationship is headed. I dream about raising at least one of my own but fear about being too old.

    My Day

    All I do is sit around the whole day while enjoying the beautiful day of clear blue skies and cool breeze and listening to the parakeet birds chit chat all day. I eat and sometimes nap. Depending on my mood, I’d go shopping but lack fashion sense, keeping to practical and inexpensive items. Walking outdoors is nice as well as long driving to anywhere.

    My Night

    I sleep soundly and snore loudly. So if anyone is a light sleeper and is bothered by noise, be prepared for your own accommodations. I do dream in colors and keep a journal of the ones that I remember well. My beauty rest of at least seven hours should be sufficient, by the way.
