¿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.

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.

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.

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.
