Stacy Perman's In n out burger

I am reading the book about in and out burger, which is a bit more interesting than that Julie vs Julia book. I am at the section where they talk about the religious beliefs that they imposed on people through the printed verses on the cup and through their commercials.

At first, I felt repulsive. Then I realized that I should be more open minded and should accept other people's freedom of speeach and to express their opinion. If they believe in Christianity, it's good. If they said: "if you don't know believe in god, you will be condemned", I will accept that. Whatever they say is just going to accept the majority of the white population, and the people who believe in it and the people who can't think for themselves and let themselves dragged into something that other people would like them to believe in. Of course, we won't expect in n out to go global with their christian self-righteousness.

I am blessed with my eastern culture and can make peace with people of different religious background.

Aside from that part, I think the basic things that I learn is that stick to quality, and with a strike of luck, you can succeed. I support in n out because of its commitment to quality. So, once in a while when I crave some hamburger, that is what I would get. I get to stick to a protein-style hamburger with no buns.

The snyder family is really just a usual, lowly educated schmuck that got lucky. I hold more respect for people with more education, generally speaking. I am interested to find out how Lynsi Martinez ousted her grandma from the company. I have not read anything about her yet. But based on what I have learned, she is a product of a white trash mom and a lowly educated, fat father who happened to be born into a local rich family whose restaurants took off because they stick to the only fundamental business principle: "quality".

Situation, situation

Just funished meeting with Stec. I just can't believe that someone could help me diligently like that. I really appreciate it.
On the other hand, I will have a difficult time dealing with bev and dave when the time has come for me to leave Ampex. The sooner, the better. 
Meanwhile, I will wait for Cisco to get back to me. It will be very good to get back to Cisco to build up my expertise in supply management.
The situation will probably force me to choose Cisco over Stec, just as I did 2 years ago when I chose Cisco over Samsung.

City workers vote to strike.

Palo alto seiu-represented workers plan to strike. 617 workers earn ana average $72,662 a year, $3900 overtime... other benefits, too. Their positions include utilities maintenance, secretaries, janitors..  that's outrageous. Those people are shameless.

Ampex

Have not even have time to blog about the interview process and experience with Ampex. I am already temping there. It has been 3 days since Wednesday (8/19). Compared to other companies' long process of selecting, screening, intereviewing, second-interviewing, etc, Ampex was a very speedy one. I never thought that I would be asked to start working the very next day.

Well, so far so good. Definitely a start-up environment where people wear many hats. But I have to be fare and square that I have already promised to go back to Cisco if given a chance. So, I will stay just as long as I can with Ampex. I hope that I will not have to stay long. The longer it is, the harder it becomes.

Oh, well, one thing very interesting is that my job title says "administrative assistant". I am very surprised that Apple1 gave me this position. I even turned down the opportunity to be presented at the beginning.

Buena Suerte

es raro decir este a mi mismo. nunca lo necesito. pero si me falle otra vez, no me asusta mucho. ya estoy muy acostumbrado de estar decepcionado.

Hablar de pandigital, no me excita mucho ni me decepciona. Asi que me va bien cualquiera de las dos situaciones: me contratan o me despidan. Pues, espero que me contratan, porque necesito un trabajo como este para ganar dinero y establecer un futuro mas seguro y saludable financieramente.

De todos modos, buena suerte.

Dogs can't shed the poop-sitting habit

I woke up and went downstairs to see the chihuahuas in the backyard. Later, I saw Ivory taking care of business and as soon as she's done, Sasha came over and clean it up. No, it is not my first time seeing it. I remember while I was a kid in Taiwan, back in the 70s, one of the neighbor's kid squatted and took care of business right there in their frontyard and a dog came over and cleaned it up. there was no lapse of time. Just out and then in immediately!

Then, there is Christi digging out Racoon's poop in Jorge's backyard...

I was going to take a photo with my cell phone and then Jose called. So, we went to do a little kind of cleaning. We cleaned the backyard and front yard of a house in Belmont today. It took 2 hours and I took some photos. Well, I helped out, but I didn't do all the heavy lifting. They did. Anyway, here are some photos:

Feliz Cumpleaños

Si, tengo muchos años. mas que yo quiero confesar. Pero, la visa sigue. No voy a denunciarme de todos modos.

No le dije a nadie que era mi cumpleaño hoy. Para nada. A nadie le importa. Pero recibí mesajes de Steve, Gerald y Alex. Gracias a ellos por recordarle de mi día. Son buena onda ellos.

Pero no tengo perspectiva, ni esperanza ahorita. Todo está tranquilo. Que pena.

Patrick de Pandigital me avisó que me iban a invitar a su compañía para una entrevista. Qué bueno!

Limpieza de Jardin

Le dije a Jose que los chinitos son baratos que pagan muy poco.











Pero necesitamos la publicidad para que crezca el negocio. Por eso, esta bien si nosotros ganamos poco al principio. Vamos a seguir participando en este proyecto para ganar una buena reputacion y luego vamos a ganar mas clientes y mas clientes para compartir con Efrain y Carmelo y sus parientes.

Jose tuvo un acidente

y no sabia defenderse. por eso, le voy a defender. el manejaba por Poplar del camino real hacia la carretera 101 y la señora por Claremont hacia el norte. El acidente sucedió porque la señora no se paró. le dijo que la señora pudo echarle a Josè la culpa. Por que este mundo es lleno de mala gente y no creo que ella quiere pagar todo. Vamos a ver.

antes del acidente, tome etsa foto:












despues del acidente, tome estas fotos cuando danny terminaba su pastel:

泛數位

今天去買了泛數位的數位相框. 剛好也接到他們的回信, 看來他們很感興趣. 讓我覺得希望有回來.

看來我必須跟梅西買超過一百元的禮物, 才能獲得免費的送貨. 如果光買七吋的數位相框, 79.99 加上運費,14.50就快到百元了.我還想再買其他東西.

後來跟葛瑞講了一個小時的電話. 不可思議.. 我從來沒跟他講過那麼久的電話.

七月到

我不想打破任何紀錄,只求有份差事就可. 可以有飯吃. 看來是非常難. 已經六個月了. 希望有人願意聘請短期工.

The trend is still going down

Now that I heard that Brian was laid off one week ago, I have not choice but to get ripped off staying employed, instead of being unemployed. I don't think salesforce is so stingy to only pay so little, but it has to do with my agency. Now I can't go to the judge group.
The thing is since I have signed the paper with the agency, I think I stand a good chance of being hired with salesforce.

Today I spent some time getting myself aquainted with the coupa e-procurement system. I am not surprised that the time has come and it is actually exactly what I thought it should be, after seeing the video clips from dave stephens and noah eisner, the 2 founders of coupa. young shots. good for them.

Hope sinks

I think my comeback is getting harder and harder as Paul just told me that new hires or temp help aare impossible right now. What a sad piece of news. Well, we'll have to find means to survive, as it is harder than I expected in january. Now that it has been 5 months, I really have to get down on my knees and BEG. Just depressing. I feel so small. I am small. I hope that the temp agencies can help me find something. Just like maria said, " a lot could happen in a month". Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Another $4,000 woman

I was on the way to the postoffice to deposit all my pennies and while I was crossing the street, a woman walked by me to the other side of the street. My attention was immediately attacted to her 4,000, as she is a middle-aged woman, blond hair and quite "skinny". So, something is just wrong with her great front.

It reminded me of the $4,000 story that someone once told. Basically, someone was saying that a ball could cost as much as $2,000 and a lot of women carried $4,000 everyday.

It was way out of propotion for that lady and just so not asthetically appealing. It makes me want to throw up.

Por que es mejor amar a los hombres

para tener el sexo, hay que tomar mucho tiempo con las mujers. Se emotionan mucho. Hay que platicar y platicar mucho al principio. Con los hombres, toma solo una mirada rapida. Muchas veces, los hombre extranos se unen, se tienen sexo y se despiden.

Y para mantener una relacion, los hombres sapientes son mas guapos que las mujeres. se muestra en todos los animales, incluyendo los humanos, por supuesto. Sin marquillaje, las mujeres se ven muy horribles. Ademas, el cuerpo de los hombres no se cambia tan facilmente como el de las mujeres.

¿Como decirle que no?

no me interesa la nueva compañía por que ella queda muy lejos y es muy pequeña. Y por eso acabo de escribir a Fritha para pedir ayuda. Sé que Hang me va a ayudar más, pues, ya no nos conectamos y me siento raro.

Mi estrategía es pedir más dinero de esa nueva compañía para que no me vuelva a llamar. Quien sabe. Si les intereso yo mucho, quizás me van a llamar. Y voy a tener problema tomar mi decisión.

Informacion sobre G2 Technologia

he buscado informacion acerca de el y encontrado que ellos tienes sus alias como pricedbelowmarket y goldenpig ybusinessindustrialgoods por ebay.

A ver si voy a encontrar mas.

Tambien, tienen una cuenta con Used line para vender sus materiales excesivos.

Prueba de Usabilidad, Qué fácil es ganar.

no se que tan bien hize mi trabajo con ibm, pero logré ganar el mismo sueldo que me prometieron. Por eso, no me puedo quejar. Todo se terminó muy bien. Con solo una hora, gané ciento cincuenta. Pues, podría haber trabajo por 2 horas si hubiera venido los dos chavos. Uno de ellos cayó enfermo y no vino, por eso me gustó mucho. Puede ser el ciento cincuenta más fácil de ganar para mi. Y por eso, voy a buscar más pruebas de usabilidad como aquello.

為五斗米折腰.

現在觸角開始向更遠的州, 工作性質更低淺延伸. 向所有的工作機會招手, 不管高低. 看來景氣要回春到可以照料到我的時候還有一段時間. 所以, 放下身段

Los Borrachos

Me dicen que algunos se ponen muy, muy callado cuando ebrio y algunos hablan mucho. Dos José que conozco hablan mucho, a veces, demasiado cuando se ponen borracho. Magaña dijo mucho de Ayala y la verdad era un poco sorprendente. Pues, asi son las cosas de los borrachos.
Martínez también hablaba mucho en mi carro cuando le llevé a su casa. Entiendí mas que quería saber, pero está bien. No voy a contar a nadie lo que me decía.

Ayer le dije a José que le voy a aprovechar cuando se pone borracho, porque él habla mucho y después no recuerda lo que ha dicho anteriormente. Lo que se dice cuando ebrio es probablemente la verdad y vale mucho. Si yo quiero saber mas de cualquier cosa, voy a obtener la información asi. Él se quedó callado.

Por otro lado, Alex se puso muy callado y no pasó nada. Y yo, pues, no tomo y for eso, puedo guardar muchísimo.

Observatory - Los Angeles

We got up late from last night's clubbing at Arena. Jose prepared some Chilaquile and some chicken dish. Pretty impressive. It was a bit too hot for me, as usual, but I managed to finish the dish and was able to get on the road with a cup of coffee from Starbucks later.

Today's highlight is the trip to the observatory to check out where they shot the movies: "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and "Rebel without a Cause" and Paula Abdul's music video "Rush, Rush" of course.

This is the view from up there. compared to the view in San Francisco.









We later went to el Tempo and then El Barcito. Nothing too impressive like last night's Arena. It costs $15 to get in. I have no idea how much they charge there at el Tempo. El Barcito charges $4.00.

The long lost brother

Today's mission is to find the long lost brother of Jose. His brother, Salvador, is just like him, a working-class person. Looks like Efrain. Poor, Innocent, ill-fated person, working at the unicorn recylcing center at La Habra.

I asked Jose how his brother is going to carrying on his life, and he replied that he didn't know. Nobody knows. with 5 daughters and 1 handicapped son, the old man lost his house because of some contract that he co-signed for his relative...

Before we re-united with his brother, and after lunch at the Brea Mall, we stopped by a Starbucks and the models were posing by the fountain and the result is this:

Arriving at Los Angeles, Golden Dragon

We arrived late at about 8:00 pm at the chinatown after stopping by Casa de Fruta, Gas, an urgent phone call to Dora, who claimed to have some emergent medical problem and was in the hospital, and also missed my exit. Jose was not aware of that. He had no clue of how to get over there at all.


We went to a restaurant in Chinatown on Broadway, called golden dragon. The food was quite nice, but I had to hit the bathroom immeidately after. So, something was not so right.


(We went to the same restaurant for dim sum on the day we leave L.A. same thing. Both Jose and I had to go to the bathroom immediately. So, something was definitely up. The photo was taken on the Memorial Day, 5/25.)

5/28 finalized with IBM

I must feel good about participating in IBM's usability test. It is all good, because it pays $75 per hours. I didn't ask for it, but it turned out very much for me. Any amount is good, actually. I would not complaint. It gives me something to do, actually and makes me feel useful, still.

The idea of testing out the new software before anyone else uses it is already very enticing. I would be happy to go on another session.

Another Monday

Yes, that reminds me that I need to call up Rose Aquirre and Charles Oeland about the positions that I applied for. It is over 11:00 now.

I have registered for one of IBM's usability test for 5/28, which is quite good. I am glad that I am finally able to do something. I will also be able to go in to the city to take a little break before I start working in June. It looks very promising at this moment and I feel very positive.

Okay, time to get back to real work.

Got rid of the nav bar

I was browsing the blogs to get ideas for Jose's website and I bumped into this site:
wallpapernation.blogspot.com Then, I stole the codes to get rid of the nav bar. Now, it is gone. I have to give them credit for the new view of the blog.

I remember putting a "noscript" tag to counteract the javacript placed by Webs.com. So, my website is all blank and it's all mine, without any additional advertisement or endorsement. I think the url already gave it away, so I don't need to put additonal banner at the bottom of my page.

Today's work & trouble

I stayed home to finish Alias. one of my favorite tv shows. 4 more episodes to go.

I did make the contact with Mary and Terri to inform them of my availability. I applied for another job yesterday with Adecco. Rose is her name. I can will follow up with her tomorrow. It is Wedenesday.

Sergio called and asked why I did go visit Jorge and then made me go see them right now. I should've called Sergio earlier last week to inform him of my decision and the conversation with Jaime. I need to let him know that I want to cut off the tie with his family. I am afraid that our karmas work against each other and that explains all the messes. It is the best for him and for me. I can going to use Efrain's incident to bail out on my obligation to go see him. and we will see him tomorrow together. I have not much to say to him.

it is almost 5 and I want to update my resume and search the web a little bit more. The library will close at 6:00. so there is no point going to the library now. But I can go to the japanese supermarket to get my sushi for dinner and for tomorrow. meanwhile.
I think I am going with Jose to see Efrain and see how he is doing. Jose looks like an Indian eating Chinese food in this photo. I put it here, because it is recent. A little bit like Dr. Sanjay Gupta from CNN.



Looking at this episode of Alias and the in-patient wrist band on Nadia, it reminded me that Jorge had the same one on April 16, 2006 or so, about one year before I moved in with him and before he got sick. people just wouldn't learn until it is too late.

人比動物不如

一個西裔肥豬坐在我前方, 把我的食慾給搞差了. 人和動物都是為了吃而活著. 不吃就會死. 是生存的本能. 不同的是人有本領把自己搞得痴肥,醜陋. 我沒見過胖動物, 少數寵物例外. 胖寵物八成是胖主人養出來的. 所以, 結論是人比動物不如

圖書館的見識

在圖書館裡. 沒事幹. 寫寫東西抒發一下. 四個月來,學了不少東西.包括這一個網站, 昨天剛剛放了一個投影照片集到我的網誌上. 順便見識到,比我現在學到的再高深一點的網頁編寫程式. 我現在有更高層的理解, 可以搞我自己的網頁了. 只要把我目前所接觸過的集之大成. 就是不錯的網頁

Smuggling coffee into the library

Yes, sounds like an episode of Seinfeld where, say, Elain would smuggle a cup of coffee in her bag into the library. Why? because the coffee shop inside the library is up there on the top(3rd) floor at the very corner of the building. So, in order to get a cup of cofee you will have to walk through pretty much the entire building to get your fix. It is just not convenient. we are talking about a grocery-like business, not high-end fine dining, some speicialty store that customers will bring themselves. There is no need to attract them for business.

Yes, there is a outside balcany there. Very thoughtful. But from a business point of view, it is a bad design. Unless the library is subsudizing the coffee shop, with the tax money. Another sad example of bad design/analysis. Just like the Bart ramp between SFO and Millbrae. What a waste of money!

It could be on the same location, but only on the ground floor, so the neighbors or anybody, not just library patrons, can drop by to get a cup of coffee or pastry. They can also sethey can start early in the morning and close they want. So, they are fee of any limitations that the library is imposing on them.

Yes, sad. Do I want to support the coffee shop in the libarry, YES. The location is a problem? Definitely. Do I want to bring my coffee from outside? It depends.

Adding shockwave flash file

I embedded a flash slideshow in the profile to showcase Jose's work. All the photos that I have taken of him. Now everybody gets to see my work as well.  He did most the manual work and I did the brain work. It took me a while to have come to this.  I have to say that I'm really tech-savvy.  I'm a very good user. I am very good with all the tools. It pays off to brush up the html or is it xhtml knowledge. 

All I need right now is a real job and I want to use this blog to exhib my skills.  It is not too shabby. 

I'm texting from my google g1 phone right now.  Technology moves too fast...

Humberto y el coyote

Humberto va cruzar la frontera y Efrain esta juntando el pago para que le paque Humberto al coyote. Cuesta 5500 dolares. Es muy estupido vivir la vida asi, pero, de verdad, si ellos son bastante inteligente, no es necesario ir a los estados unidos para encontrar trabajo como obradors, jardineros, jornaderos, etc.  Pueden ganar bastante dinero para sobrevivir en su pais.  Mis amigos en mexico no tienen ganas de ir aqui para trabajar. Son profesionales alla.  Pero Humberto es diferente. Su hijo solo tiene 1 ano y el solo tiene 20 anos, mas o menos. Que tragedia!

I'm like an orphan

Danny and I were talking about Mother's Day and it suddenly occured to me that i'm like an orphan without a family. I am here in the states without any relatives or family members. I could have a family of my own, but I know I won't. So, I will be all by myself all my life.  It would sound pretty sad, but it is not always as it seems. If we know that we all come alone and leave alone, it is pretty normal to be alone. I will try to make the most of it.  But I'm definitely ready to go anytime now without any remorse or regrets.

春去夏來.

春已去，夏已來．然而工作似乎沒什麼眉目．再等一下吧．平凡人就是這樣．聽天由命．
每天都要到圖書館報到．留點好形象．

Behind the scenes: March 30 entry

So many losers are shopping at Ross

Including me, of course. There are people who shop with a shopping cart. Peopel who shop a lot and put charges on 2 credit cards. People who don't know how to swipe their card correctly. Only 2 cashiers right now. One black lady and one chinese lady. I have been waiting in line probably for about 20 minutes now. Yes, I can text and I don't feel too bad. I guess I still have at least 5 minutes to wait. It is very frustrating just to buy a door hanger. I am blogging here because I'm bored. I don't think I'll shop at ross again, at least not at this hour.

下雨的五月五號,星期二

今天是五月五號. 雨轉陰轉晴. 我穿綠色的T Shirt, 以示我的響應.

Blogger temp account cancelled/linked to

Let's see if this new message will go directly to my blog, so I don't have to claim it, like I did with the previous 2 messages. Also, let's see if it would also allow lomg messages. If so, this is wonderful. Why am I always learning by doing? A ver si esto funciona.

五月雨澆熄我的惠普希望.

從來不記得在五月還會下雨. 感覺很奇怪.
我的腦筋真的是豆腐作的. 一點思考的能力都沒. 只會寫一些有的沒的.

惠普沒戲唱了. 繼續再等思科,或是羅倫佐的消息.

整理一下這四個月來的經歷:

La Baby 死了.
再找另一隻貴賓狗, 黑色, 純種, 未結紮.
Jorge Marquina Sr. 死了.
扶養Christi, 訓練Christi 好讓Marquina家接養. 與Marquina家斡旋,
準備搬家,
搬家.
幫Christi找尋另一戶人家.

這過程中我也自我充實:
Microsoft Access, 從零開始.
建立我的個人網頁, 從新學習HTML, 再進而學JavaScript.
拍照片, 學習剪輯, 寫簡單HTML, 幫Jose在Craigslist上登廣告.
剪輯MP3, 轉載MP4

HP declined the submittal.

Monday, at 15:39. I'm in the library for the rest of my day. Well, until 2100, that is. Another monday. My sibmittal got rejected by HP for lack of related industrial background. Sometimes people overlook themselves, but I have to admit that there might be someone more suitable than me for that 6-month contract job, but we can't deny that in this climate, supply is much greater than demand. So, we'll see what turns out. Meanwhile, I gotta stay more positive and keep learning, keep applying, keep staying active and healthy.

A ver si sirva mejor asi

Esta vez he borrado el mensaje previe, y creo que esta mucho mejor. Me gusta aprender todo lo que la technologia trae para comunicarse. Estoy escribiendo por el gmail.com a traves de mi G1 celular.
Ahora vamos por el blog y describir. Yo quiero ver si esta bien escribir largo mensaje, por que me gusta escribir y expresarme asi. No me gusta twitter con solo una oracion. Twitter es para todo el publico, incluyendo la gente con poca edsucacion y no escribe bien.
Ok. A ver si sirva mejor asi.

Thursday morning- stupid mishap

Waiting for the boiler to finish its job, so I can drink my tea. Stupid somebody accidentally tweaked the cable that was connected to the machine, so the water was not boiled. Now I'm re-boiling a full tank of water, how about that.

Go@blogger.com Go, go, go

Ler's see if I need to send it to a different account for mms to get posted. I didn't know that once I add a subject to a sms message, it becomes an mms message. So let's see if this message will be cut into 2. If not, I'm very proud of myself for figuring it all out. Ok, time to send it from g1. Go. Go.

Let's see if I need to send mms to a different

I have to say I'm pretty excited about it. hope I

Yes, got a call from Terri A. this morning while in the tkb class. Applied in theave to say I'm pretty excited right now. Hope I get it.

Revisiting HTML

yes, I am brushing up my html knowledge now that I bumped into webs.com and successfully disabled their script in order to get rid of their banner at the bottom of the page.  It was a good banner, but I just want to put something there that is my own.

 

Now that I have also connected the blog to my email, I can write here as well.    Maybe I can write something Chinese here to see the system is able to interpret it.

我們來看一看會不會出現.

 

Since I do not have a table in my room right now, I am writing here at one of the small rooms in the house.  The room is used for.. what?  I don't know.  But it is good that I can use it to pretend to work, but they don't know what I am doing right now.  It seems I am working on something, but nobody asked, so I will just continue to sit here until someone boycotts.

See how the message gets cut off if written via cell phone.

Twitter to my own blog now

So I'm going to use up all my alowed 400 text messages thsi month. Finally. Now that I know I can twitter to my own blog. I probably would use it more.

I just found out that I can only send short messages or it will change from sms to mms and it won't get sent to blog. I have tried it with 4-message long text at a time, 3 message-long text and neither went through. Hence, "twitter". it wasn't coool for a writer like me, though.

It's just that the 400 text messages are already included in my $25.00 data plan with t-mobile. If only I could negotiate it down to get a cheaper, but I don't think it is possible. So, we will see.

Miised my yoga class today. TKB tomorrow then.

Missed my yoga class, cuz the lock slipped of the pocket of the backpack. Something silly, I know. It's time to switch to a dufflebag, I think.

Twitter account

I will be so crazy to have to type all the time. It seems it is impossible to catch up with the new fads. I think the blogger is being replaced by twitter.

終於又可以打中文了

有點慢, 但是總比不能打好. 因為我想放一些中文在我的個人網頁裡.

I can e-mail to blg. How cool.!

Yes this is another way to create another entry.  I prefer this way.  Well, there is no difference, isn't it?  except that I can blog at any time.  What the heck is Twitter anyway?  I still have no idea.  I will check it out tomorrow.  I have to check it out.  at least I will know what the heck it is.

 

Oh, well, I am very tech-savvy right now.  I can text-message to blog, I can write email to blog.  I have mobile banking with B of A, too.   I am very consumed with the technology now. 

 

I have re-learned my HTML.  I have taught myself Access.   I learned to resize photos, hotlink the photos to the ad that I created for Jose...  I have created my own page with webs.com.  I even managed to noscript the embedded footer.  so the page can be totally my own.  my design. my words.

Que Maravilloso!

Ahorita puedo crear entradas desde mi t-mobile g1. Que maravilloso!

El lunes otra vez

si, si, como vez.
Ya otro lunes sin trabajo. Pues, no me asusta nada ya. No quiero saber que hay en el futuro.

Hoy pensaba si hay algo muy facil para matarse, lo voy a tratar. Es que no tengo motivo para nada. Es que nada tiene sentido ya. Nunca me gusta mi vida. Nunca se que hay en esta vida para mi. Aun asi, no tengo el valor para matarme a mi.

Se ha ido Christi

Si aun pienso en ella. La perrita que yo compre de Santa Cruz. Pues, me costo mucha atencion, mucha presion, mucho trabajo. En el fin, todo se arregla. Aqui estoy siguiendo viviendo mi vida.

Me siento bien porque Christi esta con la familia Hollero, una familia filipina. Creo que es mejor arreglamiento para ella.

Ya no pienses mas en ella. Asi es la vida. Cuando tengo un trabajo y logro un lugar, puedo tener otra perrita como Christi.

A little hope resurfaced...

After a few weeks, I got another message from Lorenzo. I am glad that he is still helping and so is Reiko. Things that I did not quite understand become quite clear themselves. I didn't know what is the importance of networking. I never really bothered to do it. But networking just does it itself. I didn't do it. But knowing Reiko and Lorenzo does help. If I ever eventually got a job, I am forever grateful.

another Monday

yes, another one. How do I learn to enjoy it? Well, by having an evil dog. check this out.

the transformation.

Almost 3 months

I think this is my own personal record. unemployment record. Or probably not, back in 2006 while I was waiting for employment in Mexico, I was waiting for quite a while. But I was taking classes in Mexico City and playing, of course. Those were the days....

A lot has taken place since then. The fall of J. M. and his family, etc. That's a lot of drama to swallow.

Today we are going to give Christi another shower and then apply Frontline for this month. I really don't know what's up with all her scratching. I did find a big patch of dry skin on her thigh... But the whining seems to indicate that she still has fleas or ticks. Well, I hope they won't affect me. What a trip!

Sergio Gomez Sanchez, the ex-lead singer of K-Paz de la Sierra, was born in 1973... Gee, I thought he's a bit older than me. Well, I don't know how old I am anymore...

1960 Palm Street

Looks like I am going to live on Palm Street. Well, at least, it is not Elm Street. Or nightmares will never stop. How many year they have lasted. The Freddy guy just won't quit...

La tapatia

Nueva amigo de Christi. Se llama La Tapatia. Es de South San Frnacisco.

Christi's guarding nature has come out

She's barking at some strange sound from next door. I am glad that I got to experience all this before I hand her over to the Marquina Family.

I think this is the right thing to do to buy them a new dog. Theoretically, I am only responsible for Jorge, since la Baby was his dog. But since the situation got complicated and he lived with his parents, so la Baby became a family dog. I am sure that it's a lot for his mom to swallow for now.

I am trying to be responsible!!!!

another shower for Christi

I have no idea how to get rid of the ticks or fleas or whatever Christi has. It seems that she just can't help but scratching herself.

Went to visit Jorge, and as usual the result was quite fruitless. We didn't get to practice getting through the puppy door.

Why is it that Picasa does not support hot link?

It took me over a week to figure out why the pics won't show up in my ad on craigslist. I thoguht it was a connection or server problem on craigslist side, as the preview was quite okay.

Potty training almost completed

Well, I think it is pretty much completed as I saw Christi storm out of the door to the yard outside to eliminate. How did she know that? Maybe it is because I scolded her and put her in the playpen immediately after I caught her pooping on the floor. It was kind of my fault, too, as I did not leave the screen door open for her to go out. Maybe she knew already that she needed to go outside to poop.

She can control her bladder better and better now. I can put her in the kennel all night without having to get up in the middle of the night to let her urinate. I remember leaving the bathroom door open to let her relieve herself. Well, those days were gone. Based on the AKC paper that Jamie Perkins (Big, big liar, by the way) provided, Chrisiti is 14 weeks old now. She will be 4 months old by 4-8-09 and she will not have any problem holding it all night until the morning.

This is Bruno, by the way, her loyal playmate...

To shrink photos - to reduce the size of the photo

well, I used craigslist's ad-posting portal and powerpoint to do so.

Craigslist, fisrt, I can import the fotos using the functions there and later right click to save the photos to desktop. It quickly shrink the photo size from 1.22mb to 6kb, as shown here. These are about 300 x 225. So, any regular-sized photos that I took using my old camera can be reduced to this size simply using this method. This is another surprise find.

With Powerpoint, I used the camara icon to import the photos, then right clicked on the imported image there to "save picture as". This way, it shrinks the photo size from 1.22mb to about 120kb.

To further shrink the size to 281x211 pixels, I used Irfanview. However, the size is about 64kb, instead of 6kb. Well, they are igually small to me now. So, I am happy now.

I was able to use the HTML table functions to make before-after table for the ad. I simply used the img src= command to retrieve the photos that are hosted at Picasa, which is a Google-owned company.

I realize that I can't live without Google. I haven't used Microsoft for internet purpose much now. But I have self-taught Access and I find it very, very useful.

craigslist & html

I just learned how to link the foto without upload it to the portal once again. Now I know that I can upload as many fotos as possible. Well, it is only a hyper link, I don't really upload any fotos to craigslist. Yes. I think I am quick in learning everything.

I am going to post another Christi photo here. The foto I just uploaded here (to the left) was automatically saved to my google account. (A surprise find! I thought I have to creat another account to host my photos.) And I can retrieve it or put a hyper link to the photo and it will show up on the craigslist ad.

Otro Domingo y aún ando sin trabajo

Si... ¿cómo ves? Ya he pasado otra semana sin chamba. La verdad es que no hay trabajo en cualquier lado. Estoy también pensando en mis estrategias para lograr un trabajao.

Creo que no hay nada que puedo hacer. todos los solicitudes que mandé a las compañías y agencias eran en vano. Tengo mas ventajes con las llamadas de los agentes de empleo. Solo tengo que esperar hasta que me llame alguien. Puede ser Lorenzo Salhi o Ian Lopez o Samual Merchants, etc, etc.

Estoy mas y mas acostumbrado a la perrita. todavía no me gusta. La vida es loca. quién traía mala suerte a quién. Yo creo que era Jorge a mi. No me siento libre como la señora quien me dijo que no se sentía bien. Yo tampoco me siento bien. La causa fue la mala salud de Jorge. y ya nadie puede hacer nada con esto. Lo que pasó, pasó.


Christi y sus juguetes...

Talent Merchants

Got a call from Sam Merchant and we are working on my return to Cisco as a contractor. Well, what can I do? I think right now anything will do.

Christi went for a short trimming

And I had a hard time finidng this library - south san francisco library. I hung out at downtown S. SF and I finally called Gray to get directions. South SF has a strange downtown where there is no drugstores, e.g. Walgreen's, there is no post office and there is no library. I have a few errands to run as well. Need to find a hand-held vacuum cleaner for the corners in the apt. Need to get my check at Alex's hosue.

The lady at Bark N Bubbles told me that it wouldn't be until she's 8-months old that she can get a full groom. I did mention to her that Christi might have some ticks as she had been scratching a lot. So, she said she would look into that.

Gray is gettin ready to move to Virginia on March 18th, which is only 12 days from now. At least, they will be here for another 2 weekends, although i don't know what to do with them. Such is life.

Christi slept all night in kennel

I tried it and it worked. Last night I kept Christi in her kennel all night and she did not make any accident in the kennel. At lesat I think.
But immediately after breakfast, she made another go.

I noticed that she started humping last week. At the age of 11 weeks, according to the paper I received from Jamie. (Yes, after a week of struggle and she still lied about the medical records.) This has been such a painful experience.) That means she's trying to show her dominance. She wouldn't budge when we went out to walk. That was a good sign that she has been very domineering since young. I saw her nibbing the neck of the other puppy at Jamie's house and it was kind of shocking.

Dim Sum at Tong Kiang

$100 for 5 of us. That's an expensive lunch, isn't it? I was beyond angry with Gray and Yushen for being late for 1 1/2 hours. Well, Joey said they could do whatever they wanted because they were leaving for Virginia. Life is very cruel. I don't want them to go, but it is tough for everyone right now.

Christi has Giardia

So hard to believe that Christi has Giardia and I have to pay for that, too.
I managed to go to the doctor's office to get the medication which costs $30.00. I managed to get her the first dose for the day. 1 down and 5 more days to go.

It seems Christi has gotten used to the potty pad.
I have left her in the kennel for a few hours by now. She usually whines for about 5 minutes and stops.
I have started to train her with some basic command. Today, I started with "sit", but I really don't know the techniques yet. I dropped by PetSmart and saw people training their dogs with a leash. So, tomorrow I will do that.

Rainy Days and Mondays

Yes, this is one of them. Last Monday, it was raining and hailing while I went to get Christi in Santa Cruz. I forgot to mentioned that Lance Armstrong was in town. So, it was packed and I couldn't get close/through the downtown area to get to Jamie Perkins' house. Speaking of Jamie, she finally wrote last Saturday.

Christi is sleeping right now. She slept at noon as well. Now it is 6:10pm.
Just got a call from Dr. Frank Merril and he said Christi has some internal parasite. Why am I not alarmed? Well, I don't know. It's all part of the payback. I don't know how much this payment is going to cost me, but I surely don't like this kind of responsibility anymore. It has been a lot of work and luckily, I am not working right now. My full time job is to take care of this new young baby bitch until she's all grown and fine.

Just got the piece of paper, AKC registration form, that dates the birthday of Christi Marquina: 12/08/08. So, as of today, she is 11 weeks old now. It is easy to tell that because on the form, the breeder, Pamela Diaz, signed and dated 02/02/09, which should mark the 8th week birthday.

This is she falling asleep while I was driving

Raining All Day

Well, it has been 5 days since Christi has moved in. It is a lot of work raising a new-born anything. I am lucky that I don't have a baby. I can't imagine raising a human baby.

Yes, Gray is moving to Virginia. Charlottesville, VA. He said it is close to Richmond. I just checked and its population is 45,000 and it's about 70 miles from Richmond, VA. Wooo, that's really bad. I think that's reallly bad. If he can go there, I can go work in Santa Cruz. Well, not really, I don't want to live there at all.

I got to get familiar with La Tapatia in South San Francisco. They sell tamales at $1.50 each. It wasn't too much.

Left alone: 3 hours

I left Christi in her kennel for 3 hours today. I am glad that she can get used to being left alone, while we hit it at Esta Noche in San Francisco.

It started to rain this afternoon. Glad we finished the yard work before the rain came.
