Describing my immediate surroundings towards the beginning and a twist to the tale or possible solutions to issues towards the end of some blogs and how they relate to my expectations of the world at large.

  • 20100416-Noticing Numbers

    Again, there have been more frequent appearances of double digit numbers, especially the number thirty-three (or 33).

    I called the boy at 12:33pm to visit his mother in the hospital. He was having lunch at that time, which for me is a waste of money. He arrived with the girl at 01:33pm. The four of us had lunch at the ground level cafeteria and then we left at around 15:15pm to beat the afternoon traffic.

    At 04:55pm, I discovered a greenish-gray colored recliner, which had the bottom cushion that pulls-out for extending tired legs while keeping Maw company until 07:10pm. Thanks to the low-dosage aspirin (81 mg), I was able to tolerate pain in the legs and back.

  • 20100416-More Spooks

    After playing phone tag, I managed to speak with a `head hunter` this evening.

    `I cannot afford $44.00 a week! I need a job!`

    ~Moi

    `Oh, you just want to get out of the house.`

    ~Mary K.

    See? That’s why I cannot get a job. No one hears my cries! Everything is intentionally designed. Thanks alot, freaks! Prepare for war!

  • 20100416-Admitted Again

    We arrived at the E/R at 11:25pm; waited until 12:40am for a room; and left at 06:00am. It’s the heart monitor, showing the fluctuations of two lines to squares and strong diagonals. Couple that with a cold and asthma, and that’s a hospital stay. Paw and I are getting ready for rest for a morning’s visitation.

    `You’ve done enough for your parents. Now it’s time to take care of yourself`.

    ~Rebellious one during one night.

    No, young fool! It’s time for me to take care of my parents. And so should you! After all they have done, no one is there for them except for each other. You are ungrateful. Grow up.

  • 20100415-Still Grateful

    Even though I’m an unemployed, homeless bum, I’m grateful to our government. For you see most are immigrants, illegal or not, into America. And without the opportunity to work through the system, I would not have been born. Either way, I too owe the government for helping. Which I why I pay taxes because it’s really their money. Then again, don’t forget to scratch my back, too. Alright?

  • 20100415-No Use

    The other night I tried to tell Maw of my personal experiences. She kept telling me:

    `It’s all in your head!`

    I was pissed because MOST people are closed-minded and refuse to accept they are wrong sometimes. I kept mumbling under my breath:

    `Dis-believer!`

    If people want full disclosure, the mass contact should occur. It’s impossible to get through the heads of these stubborn people, who always think they are right. It makes life for paranormal children especially difficult.

    People will realize once and for all why the ills of this world is really hell and that heaven exists, too, along side what is supposed to be a `reality`. There is no hope for this species. They will continue to pray for nothing. It’s a shame.

  • 20100415-Earthquake Proof

    `Build houses light of straw and sticks.`

    ~Mother Shipton Prophecies

    The old lady was on to something. With the recent earthquakes happening worldwide, it’s no wonder people die! It’s because their dwellings are made of concrete slabs, mud and bricks! Look at what happened to Haiti. People got their instance monuments. It’s truly sad, especially when I came across a website containing photos of the injured, death and dying people of Yushu, China.

    If only people build their houses of light-weight materials of straws and sticks, people would at least survive strong earthquakes. Plus, natural building materials are naturally recyclable. Try bamboo, which lasts for a VERY long time. It bends during the typhoon and holds up heavy loads quite well.

  • 20100415-Different Headers

    I’ve been trying out different Microsoft Clip arts and found that I could change those many times! If only team Automattic could allow for uploads of animated images, that would be nice, really. I guess I’ll never achieve complete satisfaction as far as what elements to include in this friggin’ weblog! Below are three samples of my favorite images that I tried for the header:

  • 20100415-Noticing Numbers

    After buying batteries from RadioShack, Paw and I were behind a vehicle with a CA license plate number ending in 011. Last week or so, one of the grocery receipts had lots of two’s. Recent receipts had lots of two’s and five’s. Let’s see: My speedometer had one’s and the odometer had five’s.

    I give up! What do you want from me? Hello!

  • 20100415-Battery Needs

    For your battery needs, visit RadioShack®.

    Paw and I replaced three rechargeable (cordless) telephone batteries:

    • A Panasonic HHR-P104 – Ni-MH 3.6V 830mAh with an Enercell (item # 23-908).
    • Ni-Cd 3.6V 360mAh with an Enercell (item # 23-896).

    We had to replace the telephone batteries because:

    • The phones were turning off in the middle of a call.
    • The sound from the speaker handset was too soft.

    Be sure to dispose of your used batteries properly. Visit Call2Recycle US – Recharging the planet. Recycling your batteries. The batteries listed two phone numbers to call: 1-800-822-8837. RadioShack also recycles batteries. So give it up!

  • 20100415-Goes Around

    My mind is working overtime, creatively speaking, of course. I keep calling my head hunters to find temporary work, anything but to no avail; so that I could pay my `hired thugs` to keep other `hired thugs` from ruining my peace of mind.

    Maybe, it’s God’s will. Praise Allah or Buddha or whoever. I don’t know, really. It’s hard putting the pieces of the puzzle together, really. And even if I come close to the truth, who cares? I could make more noise through the newspapers. But what is the point of being a lone donkey braying into the night and no one hears its cry?

    God! What am I doing wrong? Have you not heard my prayers? Damn! I could make a book if I wanted to! And what is with all these recent appearances of double digits, such as 33? I don’t get it! At almost every corner I turn myself or my gaze, I see this number – thirty-three! What do you want from me?

    All I know is that the government helps the best it could, which is to spend. I also know that private sectors (small AND large ) operate to cut spending. These businesses CONTRACT with the government. And in turn it’s in one pocket and into other pockets.

    So I ask you this: Am I up against the government? Or is the government on my side? What’s going on? Hello!

  • 20100415-Primary Uncaring

    Yesterday, Maw went to her doctor’s appointment. The primary care physician seemed to be in a hurry and didn’t listen to her lungs, which was noisy. Instead he checked for her blood pressure only. Any friggin’ moron can do this simple vital at home!

    Anyway, this symbolizes yet another sign for the worse that the health care is not what it used to be – caring for the patients. Since Maw is getting forgetful, she forgot to report her respiratory distress, which almost always leads to respiratory infection.

    So, today, she had to call that damn office and Michelle helped to inform the doctor of the situation. He merely had to prescribe either antibiotics or the usual last resort. But for whatever reason, he failed to make sure his patient left the office in good hands that day.

    But Paw and I picked up the medicine after this noontime from CVS, which does a great job in processing prescription refills.

    Here is my point: Another thought came to my simple mind this morning or perhaps last evening or so ago. It’s been bugging me for awhile. I know why certain job professions exists: It’s because the government helps pay for the services and/or products! Logically, without Medicare or Medicaid, the doctors wouldn’t be, shall I say, OVER-BILLING, the government, just to stay afloat and/or take advantage of the system?

    I believe Obama’s health care insurance reform bill is supposed to cap on these `profitable` practices. And the inclusion of the `student loans` just does that: Allow the government-sponsored assets to graduate and work in rural areas.

    That’s how it should be: learn to work hard among the poor and underprivileged, feel humble knowing they did as they were told by the government and after these assets `repay` their government-sponsored student loans, they get to practice WTF they want elsewhere.

    I’m sorry. But sometimes people don’t get it. If doctors want to keep their oath to take care of the living, they should do so without being jerks. I mean they are paid professionals to hear the complaints of their patients and shouldn’t have to drug up these unless bottom-feeders like guinea pigs.

    It’s such as shame that the TPTB cannot find even find a cure for the common cold. Right there, the whole health care system is a scam.

  • 20100415-Slowly Dying

    Well, Pimon the parakeet is up and about, eating millet spray seeds on top of the playpen, which is over the girl’s cage. He has been sleeping most of the time. Maw said don’t release them. But because I’m stubborn, both the boys and girls are playing together, except Yeyo and baby boy, whose has not yet been named.

    As for Maw, she has fallen ill since last weekend. Her cough is persistent as if something is stuck inside her throat. She forces up lots of phlegm from deep within her chest but is now on a 5-day treatment of antibiotics, which is her `last resort` to recovery.

    It’s difficult taking care of sick people, who of course will make healthy people sick.

    `Forgive me. But I appreciate all that you are doing for me. Please take care of your father. He is innocent for he doesn’t have any concept in life`.

    ~Maw to moi this morning.

    This morning the three of us made `poos-puus` (or `aroskaldo`), which is basically porridge of sweet rice and seasoning of garlic salt and Rufina patis (or a type of Filipino fish sauce). Optional meat of beef tripe and chicken breasts were added for extra flavoring. This is the only foodstuff that she likes to eat when feeling sick.
