    As y’all can see with the two attached images, the AT&T broadband is NOT working, while the Sprint LTE is hovering between one and two outta five bars signal strength. Good riddance to computers, Internet, and other electronic devices.

    Well, AT&T broadband is down. The Internet, phone, and whatever for U-Verse is not available at this time. That means I can’t work on my computers or watch YouTube on our smart tvs! I told the Filipina representative that it’s dangerous not to be able use our phone for making emergency calls outbound and to make note on the account. But at least I have my LTE thingy! Brouhaha!

    At 2001 PM, I received an email from Meister C, our fearless leader. The horse teeth wants us to bring potluck stuff. Well, I don’t cook but I guess Mom will help whip up something. I’d rather buy from the store to save myself the trouble. I expect the event to last no more than one hour, since I don’t care to communicate with these reptilianz with ‘soompoong’. Huh.

    Anyway, I purchased three more items via smile amazon com for ASPCA donations. But those won’t arrive until Monday, which is a holiday, Labor Day. And I don’t know how that’s possible. We’ll see. I didn’t know about the straps to help hold up these HEAVY electronic devices. I find my seven inched-display to the AT&T Trek HD 2 (ZTE K88) TOO HEAVY to hold up with both hands. Hopefully I’ll try to see if which of the two straps work. The third item is a screen protector, which I don’t really need.

    Compared to the three tablets that I have on hand, I would rate my iPad A1822 (2017) as the fastest speed, following by the ZTE K88, and then the Nook HD Plus. But all three are equally capable of pulling up my sheet music. If I was to use a table for one song – Here I Am – which uses a main version of verses and a separate JAD version for the refrain, I’d use the iPad because I need to switch between the two scanned pdf files. Yup.

    I’ve loaded the old JAD music into my ZTE K88 at 9.47 GB to supplement the hymnal and responsorial. The other two have LARGE storage at 32 GB and 29 GB for my or my iPad and my Nook, respectively, both of which have all my scanned sheet musics to boot.

    Yeah, so I’m just waiting until one fails or whatever and continue my VOLUNTEER singing gig to nowhere. Seriously, I may need a temp job soon to replenish my dwindling stash of cash. I’m enjoying the spending of stuff that I really don’t need. And once again my minimalist lifestyle is failing as the ‘law of return’ and balance requires me to have some stuff.

    Well, today is 106°F! We got a courtesy phone call around 1420 something from our county, who instructed us to go online for heatwave information, and press 1 to confirm receipt of this message.

    Anyway, I’m thinking that my computer days are over. I’m not that interested in blogging. And I’ve pretty much scanned and archived all the old stuff. I’m just buying assessories for my computer stuff and that’s not fulfilling.

    Mom is healed and health is improving. Last week, I read some prayers from a booklet that I purchased online from Padre Pio something and asked for healing of my parents, my brother, the next door Respondent and her children, and myself.

    Lo and behold, my strange itchiness located inside my left back throat upper soft has gone away! Usually, I’d gag in the middle of mass and PRIOR to taking the Eucharist! The sinus would feel like closing as fluid fills up inside and fall into the back of the throat.

    For the past two weeks, I tried sleeping upstairs in the computer room where the WiFi unit is located and couldn’t sleep well. I was up every to every other hour. I was still snoring. When I came back downstairs to sleep, I wouldn’t snore. Hmm.

    So in the past and after Das Squirrel moved outta his parent’s house back in May 2006, my parents thought I was waking up past two in the morning from fright of being alone. No, it was the HARD-ass mattress! The TempuPedic mattress downstairs helped me sleep.

    Dad and I are waiting for Mom to finish her one hour cardiac rehab appointment. He won’t be walking around during this heatwave today. He’s watching soccer. Nope, he’s gonna take a walk.

    As for choir rehearsal, it’s different. I like it now that we’re sitting with different people who are still troubled Filipinos. The children are rehearsing with the adults, too.

    To the fearless leader: I know you’re reading my stuff. For reference, I was holding my new iPad A1822 (2017) with its new 🌈 rainbow dotted vinyl decal covering. I love the buttery-smooth speed and its paper-like screen protector.

    If you must now, but not to discourage you with the brtual honest truth, The cane lady told me long ago that you told her that you don’t need her that you only need four singers for the SATB parts. Three rehearsals ago or so, Glo said that the pastor did like you for unknown reason and that some members might return if you go away, and that NiNi said that you’re [insert unkind word here]. A brutal audience also said you’re [insert unkind word here] because you’re mean to your Mom, who misses you. Further, an old guy knows about your Mom doing house chores while his daughter sat alone learning piano from her. See? So whatever the OLD church humanz know about you and your family, it’s gotta be true. I’m not interested in singing among trouble but have learned how to sing louder.

    As with Respondent living directly adjacent to us the EARO is working! She isn’t bothering us after suffering for seven slong years. In addition, Exhibit B of our statement of declaration showed that her second husband filed a DVRO against her since the 2013 divorce! Exhibit A was the pastor’s letter to boot. I told Amy V during this Sunday mass that Respondent already has two RO’s in her files. Amy V said, She’s crazy. Yup. I told y’all.

    And to make sure I’m NOT fibbing, I’ve registered VOLUNTARILY my 📷 camera with the SJPD via online this Wednesday. So when and if I do call in regards to a crime and during any investigation, our local police can ask for copies of our video footage. I knew about this online website but held off until the correct time and with spiritual guidance, known as incoming thoughts. I guess this is what is meant by taking Justice into my own hands. It’s all online. Duh! So slow I am!

    While straining to push out my poop, I don’t care if. I think it’s normal, stylish, and promotional. Those that don’t have access to media won’t know who’s who without the proper label. Notice the masonic black and white combo in clothing. 

    For example, a Filipino actor as president of the Philippines once wore a banner – I’M PRESIDENT around his upper arm. How cool is that? For a meme bomb, someone should have stood next to that failure and with a shirt – I’M WITH HIM. 

    Yeah so while I’m not a fashion critic, the worst would be the emperor’s nakedness. And we wouldn’t want to see wrinkles against other stuff.

    Well, I’m blogging with my universal stylus, on my new iPad A1822 (2017), and via my new “paper like” screen protector. I love the scratchy paper of this screen protector against my things and it allows my stylus to operate normally. However, the usual lag exists.

    Now, I’m switching to my thick thumbs. It’s much faster but the screen is too wide. As a result, I’m not a happy thumb-blogger! The only way to accomplish this work is by propping up the device on my abdomen.

    I can’t blog in public because my blog site is visible on the upper left hand corner of the ‘new’ post screen! That’s another ding on my blogging experience. So I’m stuck blogging at home.

    This device is useless as it’s only good as a commercial vehicle for buying stuff, such as apps and music! I’ll save this blog post in draft mode and blog via my Nook HD Plus and report my findings.

    20170830-2214. My Nook HD Plus has died! Yesterday, I deleted apps not originally installed via Google Play. Then tonight I deleted my favorite PDF reader app, thinking that the slowness of opening up the PDF files won’t fail.

    I think it cannot open up LARGE files, such as my Choral Praise Third Edition hymnal. For smaller files, the Nook HD Plus seems to work. It won’t work when singing live and when switching speedily between files is necessary.

    Lo and behold, I’m blogging from a backup tablet – the AT&T Trek 2 HD, or ZTE K88. While waiting in the car with Mom at the handicapped parking lot for Dad to finish his eyeball visit, I’ve discovered how lightweight and narrow on the sides enough for thumb-blogging with my SMALL hands!

    So I went to smile Amazon com for ASPCA donations and bought a $8 whatever case or cover for protection. Tonight while saying our usual daily rosary prayers of three chaplets, my brain thought – hey, I can use this tablet inside my new Oberon Design black leather case! It’s smaller on the sides but with the incoming case or cover, the stuff should fit.

    Unlike the Nook HD Plus, this device has a cellular data plan. My new iPad A1822 (2017) doesn’t have a plan. All I need is a lightening speed, portable storage device with Wi-Fi. But the Apple product is still slightly heavy for holding up during choir.

    Now I’ll test my files and it’s speed response. Eventually, in two years, I’ll get new devices. Once again, I will have the opportunity to try new stuff as long as I have a job to maintain the stuff.

    Which brings me to my striving towards a minimalist life with Apple products. But I’m failing, as I’ve noticed that the law of balance requires that I have some stuff to remain reasonably happy.

    So today three more orders of accessories arrived. I’ll stop when I’m broke. Yup.

    Listen, chumps! I do NOT appreciate y’all making such a fuss over something so useless. It happens all the time. The Filipinos are used to these watery emergencies. As a matter of fact, Mom said that during her childhood, everyone was happy, having fun, and playing in the flood waters. 

    Furthermore, chumps! I do NOT like your fake weather manipulation! Y’ALL MUST CEASE AND DESIST ANY AND ALL HAARP-RELATED ACTIVITIES, PRONTO! I had to cancel my appointment with the AMR for this morning’s whole blood donation! You idiots won’t be getting you emergency blood from me anytime soon if y’all continue your irksome ways!
    This morning around 0900 and after breakfast, Dad reported to us that he felt like falling over, as if he wanted to fall down on his knees. I have been experiencing this vertigo-like episodes in the days leading up to Harvey hurricane.

    I would feel like while lying down, while turning my head, and most especially when trying to get outta bed. I had to promptly lie back down into bed to get my bearing. Also, I couldn’t sleep well!

    I had my morning mare in which an entity with big hands came up from behind my sleeping form, which was turned to its right side, facing a general north by eastern direction.

    It wanted to grab me or something to that effect. I wasn’t afraid but generated my crucifix with my right hand and wanted to present it towards its unknown face.

    I sensed that the male entity cringed back by pulling back both its hand briefly and went after my right-handed crucifix or cross generated by my mind.

    But I awoke from a slight lucid dream and felt my right move to to the weight of my smartphone still in my right hand.

    I’m not fatigued, bothered,  worried, but still wondering why y’all can’t deal with a little storm and evacuate when instructed or at least afford the Internet to research the best course of action. 

    After all, y’all don’t seem to care or know what to do and blame the government for everything. As I mentioned y’all will loose your shred of freedom, maybe starting with martial law as y’all can see with the National Guards. I mean, why take the tidbits slowly apart? It’s much easier coming down hard with a single stroke of the hammar.

    Now, stop manipulating the weather!

    Greetings, chump! I’m blogging from my MacBook Air and it’s past midnight. I don’t understand how Apple did it but I love the lack of BLOATWARE, though I still believe in free OPEN-SOURCED apps for Androids, most of which I do NOT use due to my concern for their ‘vetting’, safety, and security.

    Das Squirrel said that the proprietary software of Apple is ‘locked’ and it’s just too damn difficult to hack, crack, or whatever. That’s what I like – simplicity, cleaniness, and holiness. Maybe, that bite from the apple is symbolic, though some say it’s a pear fruit or even a fig fruit. I don’t know.

    So while trying and failing to wind down for sleep, I decided to add my most frequently used electronic devices – scanners! That’s correct. And for whatever reason, the OS is stablized and the downloaded app doesn’t crash, which happens while using my Windows OS, of which I cannot seem to remove laptop computer from participating in the preview version.

    Anyway, I think the conflict between the 32-bit software and the 64-bit hardware makes scanning outmoded. I was thinking of reselling it at my favorite electronics store and receiving only a measly $184 and that’s after spending hudreds of dollars.

    I still want to get the larger e-reader screens but I’ll have to wait until that nice paper technology is available to us. And since I’ve ‘taken time off’ to give care to the elderly parents, I won’t be able to splurge much longer as my saved fund are really going nowhere – i.e. zero.

    I’m loving my MacBook Air and iPad A1822 (2017). I’m expecting lighter materials as I age and the aches and pains in my hands and wrist will increase my inability to hold up the electronic devices for longer durations.

    I still love blogging and I’ve lots of insights to share. This keyboard is really soft-sounding, not clickety, but has enough ‘give’ without the excessive downward force for making my word public.

    Good night! Oh, and the charging is fast. I love fast, including cars. I get impatient during productivity and driving my elderly parents during traffic! OMG! Maybe, we all need to upgrade to driveless vehicles so EACH pod can TAILGATE and get us faster to our places of designation. This is my imagination for those with disabilities, who want to get around town.

    Okay, I have to try getting off this computer. It’s been a fun. Hiss.

  • 20170826-1813-Stuff

    Well, today I’ve received my stuff: two iPad cases or covers and one universal stylus, which does NOT work well on touchscreen. I expect the technology to improve with more E-ink, Carta, and E-paper technology. I tried the apps for iPad but the lag is VERY horrible, terrible!

    This blog post is being done on my new iPad A1822 (2017). The width is barely comfortable for thumbs-only blogging as I walk clockwise around the house! I’ve been sitting down for too long and that’s NOT good for my health.

    So tomorrow, I’ll have to decide which case to use – this smile amazon com for ASPCA donations case which is lighter around 100 grams than the Oberon Design leather case. Either way, I’ve spent lots of money for participating in a volunteer gig to nowhere.

    I like my third row because I’m taller and LOUDER than my shorter Filipino counterparts. Plus, the mother of our fearless leader gives me to cooties whenever she’s having her ‘soompoong’ episode.

    So it works out because she and the joyful musician sitting next to her speaks the Filipino language better than me. In addition, I’m not a religious fanatic and don’t travel locally just to visit other churches like the joyful one has done.

    Also the children are joining us. They’re better than these old farts who don’t read music! They just sing along. Only the Filipino working at KP.org bailed out from trying alto because she sucks singing soprano. But because she’s an old stubborn fart she’s embarrassing herself too.

    As for the red-colored precious stone, the Filipino is freaking next to me in the alto section. Yet she sings soprano. The idiot is throwing me off and the new member with gold and red highlights up front.

    That’s why our fearless leader and myself do NOT appreciate lack of respect of the SATB parts and music. While we like our kinds, we are somewhat like Mew, taking on a different shade of humans. Yup.

    A few minutes ago I received my purchased stuff. Below are images of my newest OberonDesign.com leather case.

    As y’all can see, the left is a LARGE LEATHER TABLET COVER BOLD CELTIC for my old NOOK HD Plus and the right is a LEATHER IPAD COVER | FLORENTINE in Wine color for my new Apple A1822 (2017) iPad.

    Compared to the two leather cases, they are very similar in dimensions and my preference to crunchy antique styles. The coated rubber bands are snug to ensure safety of my PRECIOUS tablets. The leather is NOT smelly but buttery smooth. The designs are raised for texture. I love it!

    For comparison of the two electronic tablet devices, I prefer the old Nook over the new Apple due to EASE and CONVENIENCE in functionality! I can use a USB cable to transfer pdf files for my sheet music in the Nook. But I have to use the cloud services to do the same thing in the iPad.

    So I stayed up until freaking three o’clock in the morning just to do the same things in Nook that I cannot do in iPad. But I love the buttery-smooth, fast-acting A9 chip of Apple. It rocks! I’ll just have to acclimate and adapt to the new iOS. I am so used to Windows and still love Android. I may explore Chrome OS since Google is also local. Sigh.

    Firstly, I went through my over two-hundred sheet music in pdf file formate (because I’m bored and wanted PERFECTION) and entered ‘choral’ under Category and the Publisher or agent names under Author in iBooks app via iPad.

    Secondly, I learned out how to get the fonts to retain its capitalized form. When I Export my pdf files via Dropbox > Open in iBooks app via iPad, the fonts are lower cased! But when I do the same process via my MacBook Air, the capitalized fonts are present!

    Thirdly, I learned how to ‘Select’ unwanted pdf files > ‘Delete’ via iBooks app that were in lower case and that were STUCK in pause! And as mentioned above, I uploaded the files via my MacBook Air to toggle the pdf files properly into iBooks app via iPad. But I noticed that I should NOT press the ‘pause’ button (which is a circle surrounding a square located on the far right of the offending pdf file – that sounds Masonic 20170826-1243)!

    Yeah so I love purchasing locally and supporting local artisans. OberonDesign.com has both Eastern and my favorite antiquity flavored designs. There’s some nice Sales and Deals. If I’m gonna MAGA (Make America Great Again), I’m buying products Made in the USA! Hoot!

    So I may switch between both leather cases/table devices for choir rehearsal and Sunday masses. Y’all can’t miss me because our fearless leader has moved us stubborn old farts to include the children’s choir and to move me up the third row to ASSIST the two front rows hit the ALTO notes! I still get lost despite knowing how to play piano at Grade Level 3 degree of difficulty since childhood.

    After four years of singing as volunteer, newbie choir member, I’m barely able to ‘memorize’ how to SING the notes versus playing the notes by sight reading. I’m NOT a genius as I do NOT play entirely by ear and do NOT know how to regurgitate the songs without the notes. I need notes to play the piano. But I noticed that I’m getting better at singing the choral music from memory. I must be sprouting new brain cell neurons!

    Yeah, and ‘my dog can post’ about how he peed on the new carpet and smiled when the human cleaned up after him.

    While Evil Kitty may NOT have opposable thumbs for typing on Flynn’s new Blackberry KEYone smartphone, thoughts are transmitted to the human.

    With that said, are we supposed to be happy about her and her role model stuff? Flynn had an incoming thought from Evil Kitty and wondered when and if Ivanka has cleaned a toilet bowl in her life!

    Furthermore, as a mother to her wonderful children, and her knowing how to clean up after them, would she be a personal caregiver to her daddy?

    For example, Flynn has been assigned to be an orderly to her mother. Twice, nay, thrive Flynn has donned her latex gloves. And at the behest of the bio-unit, Flynn assisted in digging out crap. I had to use soap. But Vaseline may work, too.

    This due to old age and that’s a fact.

    Now, Flynn is wondering if Das Squirrel will be processed in his old age by that nasty Twit Wifey who ignores her in-laws. That’s a good karmic sign because he wanted it so badly despite bad signs. I suspect that he’ll be dumped in a nursing home.

    Don’t look at me, chumps. Prepare for your old-age demise! Brouhaha! I’ve seen the nurses. I don’t know how they maintain their professionalism through positivity in and around those who don’t get it.

    Oh so pretty the thoughts of reality. Barf!
