  • Best Man

    Haha! The best man of the boy happens to work at the same company where I’m working a temp job for six months! I’m going to tease that guy badly. He’s part Mexicano on his mom’s side and part white boy on his father’s side. He’s got the height and facial features of his dad but the attitude of his Mexican heritage – all respectful and such. Haha!

    So the boy took a photo of my work badge and email it to his best man for laughs. Haha! Small world, indeed! I hate them all! God!

  • Magazine Makes Worse

    `Rolling Stones` magazine has been notorious for making things worse than appearance.

    Take for example, Arnel Pineda, the lead vocals for the rock group Journey. In one interview, he said he was tired (of being far away for long periods of time from his FAMILY back home in the Philippines). But the magazine went on to say that he was tired of the band. Then someone asked him if he was quitting the band.

    So from being tired and [sick and] tired of the band to quitting the band, the magazine has painted a different picture.

    That is what we believe has happened in the case of General McChrystal and the magazine. Something was said and something was published out of context, misconstruing the original interview. For all we know, the general RESIGNED instead of being FIRED by the Obama administration!

    So for anyone who believes in EACH and EVERY word spewing from Obama, the propaganda machine of newsworthy media and pals, it would be safer to get the WHOLE picture by doing lots of research and soul searching. Form your own opinions based on common sense facts and stop agreeing with each other just to feel like one of the gang.

  • 20091120-Only Once

    While praying the usual evening rosary with my bio-units, I was creating in my mind again. I recall how a dedicated blogger mentioned sharing his books, only knowing all too well that it’s good reading and only once, never to be picked up again: So good that some readers remember the details well but some don’t apply the teachings in their lives or for others.

    Anyway, I could imagine why he seemed to put down his books: – it’s because like any primate, such as humans, the species get easily bored to the point that once is enough and finding other distractions to keep their interest is necessary for sanity.

    For example, a gorilla eats mostly fruits as so should humans, who were deceived into believing that obtain a source of protein from foodstuff via animals is `normal`. And after taking a few bites, chewing off the outer hull or husk or skin of the fruits, the gorilla leaves some uneaten, letting some of the fruit and its seed fall to the ground.

    That’s how I compare humans reading a book to gorillas eating a fruit: some stuff is more easily digestible; otherwise the stuff is either fully eaten or not touched at all and metaphorically sometimes half-eaten.

  • 20091116-Lost Breath

    Watching ‘Science Channel’ about Cleopatra & hemlock toxicity as suicide. Maw said she was suffocated for more power by Marc Anthony & pals, Octavia. Old wars..

  • 20091114-Show Sasuke

    We’ve been watching re-runs of Ninja Warriors (or the Sasuke television series) as recorded by the AT&T DVR.

    But the most recent watched was just the 22nd competition and I don’t know when the next episodes (23rd and 24th episodes) will be recorded automatically.

    Watching the `Women of Ninja Warriors` is a hoot. The women and audience squeal from defeat and excitement. In one of the recent episodes, I thought that the pink-haired one, Ayake Miyako, would complete the course.

    There’s one that resembles Arnold Schwarzeneggar, Mr. Ninja Warrior, Katsumi Yamada. Maybe one day he will pass the final stage.

    I want more programming!

  • 20091113-Proper Living

    Very clean & tidy are the tiny rooms in Japan apartments. Envision elimination of filthy garage & house, like Ben & “Minh”: clutter, hangings & dusty smell! Ugh!

  • 20091110-Dying Here

    Stuffy jacket, long sleeves. Can’t breathe! Need air. 2 couples on either side of me: Maw w/ co-worker on right, Paw w/ her husband to left. Head/ear stuffy, ug

  • 20091109-Creepy People

    Still stuck here! Pinoys w/ kinky hair long/wide upper lips like gorillas & wrinkly faces, hearing aides, deformed ears. Red lipsticks like Bozo clowns, funny!!

  • 20091109-Viewing Dead

    Here at Lima Family viewing old friend of Maw, who didn’t recognize thinner. 2 pics,5 flower sets, 6 prayer cards. Met son. Sitting @ 3rd pew. Too dark driving.

  • 20091031-Treated Customers

    Tonight we had 43 customers. They were mostly Asians. One Asian father (prolly Japanese) returned my `Namaste`.

    The tiniest (besides one infant) was one little blond haired boy named Nathan! He wore a spider man outfit. I wanted to pat his head but waved both my hands over his head instead. His dad was dressed in black and had a full beard. He told his son how to say, `Thank you` but seemed focused elsewhere. That was around 20:09pm. The boy walked gingerly away with his dad holding his left hand.

    Of course that meant only two ginger bread packets and seven chips remained for the three of us to consume later on during our snack attacks. From 18:35pm to 21:35pm, the customers came and went. This year I entered the time next to each numerical count.

    The boy called earlier and said the twit was asleep. That tells you right there what will happen to her children – no holidays or celebrations of Americanized superstitions! It goes to show that she is lazy, too, or off to her MOTHER’S house again and away from the boy! Sheesh!

  • 20091017-New Cut

    At 11:15am, we arrived at High Life Beauty Salon. Kim and the other lady was there but not Kim, who was supposed to do my hair.

    Lots of other people were there:

    • Two dark brown-skinned Filipina with upper lips as wide and as long as an orangutan! They were getting their hair cut, hair color and blow dry.
    • A little toddler probably less than a year old got his haircut and WAILED in fear during his hair cut. He’s cute and has tiny shoes. The mother held him.
    • A long haired white woman with dark, ginger-colored hair had only one friggin inch cut from her witchy length of locks.
    • An old white man with all gray hair and bald bowl top had his hair cut as well as the hairy neck! Yuck!

    Kim cut our hair:

    1. Maw got her two-inch, all around layered cut that was polished to a professional finish with only a dab of setting gel, blow dry and curling iron (for three seconds each wave).

    2. Mine is now the shortest the length of my life:

    • Back cut short and up higher to the base of my earlobe, like Kate Gosselin;
    • Four-inches layers all around, especially around the crown area;
    • Sides cutting into the length of my jawline; and
    • Sides cut short enough to show part of my double-pieced earlobes, which is attached and genetically shrunken a bit. Now I can show off my earrings!
  • 20091013-Rainy Day

    Awoke to morning rain. Saw that the two hibiscus plants with flowers still intact are up against the brick-colored, painted redwood chairs of the patio and that the tomato plant up against the pepper plant with one flame red pepper.

    Saw 5-gallon buckets (from The Home Depot and Orchard Supply Hardware) capturing dirty, brown water from the gutter of the patio. Removed the second bucket and replaced with empty bucket.

    Lots of rain against the south side of the house and droplets of water washing and dripping downward upon the windows clean and right through the screen as seen through the upstairs computer room.

    Jose C. from `J & H Appliance Repair` came over for one hour (between 09:00am to 10:00am) and repaired the broken rubber piece: removed and replaced with a part meant for a `Guido` who didn’t want to pay regular price of $75.00 but from him, only $25.00 (with $10.00 tip for his `McDonald’s`).

    His face looks Mayan, even though he said his parents were from Mexico. I saw a tattoo of four dots in the form of a square located at the left side of his thumb knuckle and another tattoo of spokes on the inside of his left finger somewhere.

    We joked around that J stand for Jose and H stands for Hector, which really is Jerry and Harriet. He played cool and professional.
