the day after today

It'll be the last day for 3 of my classes: two Pilates classes and one 10-key class. I hope to God that I pass the 10-key final! I have ADD and it is difficult to concentrate on those damned 5 minute-timed numerical tests. I need to get 7,000 strokes per hour to pass with a "C". I'll miss my Pilates classes, but I'll start a new one in 3 weeks.

From the Guidelines for Cats:

Paper Bags
Within paper bags dwell the bag mice. They are small and camouflaged to be the same color as the bag, so they are hard to see. But you can easily hear the crinkling noises they make as they scurry around the bag. Anything, up to and including shredding the bag, can be done to kill them. Note: any other cat you may find in a bag hunting for bag mice is fair game for a sneak attack, which will usually result in a great Tagmatch.

Very interesting! For some reason, I missed that AIM Bot that blogs to my Blogger.com account.. So, I did a little search and rediscovered that blogBuddy actually works this time!

Your Kissing Purity Score: 26% Pure

You're not one to kiss and tell... But word is, you kiss pretty well.

Kissing Purity Test

---

Your Birthdate: October **

Your birth on the **th day of the month gives a sense of loneliness and generally the desire to work alone. You are relatively inflexible, and insist on your being independent. You need a good deal of time to rest and to meditate. You are introspective and a little stubborn. Because of this, it may not be easy for you to maintain permanent relationships, but you probably will as you are very much into home and family. This birth day inclines to interests in the technical, the scientific, and to the religious or the unknown realm of spiritual explorations. The date gives you a tendency to seek unusual approaches and makes your style seem a little different and unique to those around you. Your intuition is aided by the day of your birth, but most of your actions are bedded in logic, responsibility, and the rational approach. You may be emotional, but have a hard time expressing these emotions. Because of this, there may be some difficulty in giving or receiving affection.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

---

You are dependable, popular, and observant. Deep and thoughtful, you are prone to moodiness. In fact, your emotions tend to influence everything you do. You are unique, creative, and expressive. You don't mind waving your freak flag every once and a while. And lucky for you, most people find your weird ways charming!

spooky

I forgot to post this last weekend. At the Alanis concert, I tried to take a pic of me and Vee, but it was too dark. Vee turned suddenly in mid-flash. The effect was spooky that I joked and gasped, "You have 7 days to live, Vee!"

you know what?

I've decided to do something about this. I got tired of thinking or discussing about wishing someone Deaf from out of state somewhere on East coast would visit me and other friends here in Az. Why not pick a holiday weekend like Memorial weekend 2006? Would that work? It would be my last Az get-together for about a year or two before I go to an out-of-state college to work on my Bachelor's degree..

yuckity yuck!

*sniff!* *sniff!*

*gag!* *shudder!*

I could smell that horrible stench - freshly popped popcorn. Mom microwaved some popcorn last night. I got moody because I couldn't stand the smell of fresh popcorn. I kid you not, I totally hate popcorn. If it was caramel popcorn, maybe I'd eat some, but, no, I can't eat plain or buttered popcorn at all.

Anyway, mom asked me if I want some, and I said, "Eww, no!" She singsonged, "You and your sister are just alike!" I corrected mom that it had nothing to do with personal preferences, it had to do with a popcorn experience I had when I was little. When my siblings and I were little brats, we all were so excited to see a Muppet movie (maybe it was E.T.). Dad bought that HUGE bucket of buttered popcorn. We all shared and ate the popcorn. I noticed my younger brother ate more popcorn than anyone else. He ate and chomped and ate and chomped and ate. I remember he was such a little kid who always got into trouble with food.

So, after the movie, we all piled into the Datsun station wagon (Datsun later became the Nissan company). I remember sitting behind the passenger seat and my younger brother sitting behind the driver's seat. Our parents drove home, then my brother groaned and said something that he didn't feel so good. When the Datsun pulled up the driveway and finally stopped, the moment the car stopped and we all leaned forward from the stopping motion, he puked all over the back of the driver's seat! I could smell the heavy aromas of popcorn, butter and that unsavory scent of vomit combined into one smell. It was too much to handle the scent and seeing the bright yellow, white chunks swishing around in vomit on the station wagon's floor. It was so nasty!

*shudder!*

If you offer me popcorn, I'll be thinking in the back of my mind when I politely decline your offer, "Forget the popcorn, bitch!"

a vee-veeing day

Vee and I had a blast today! We went to Hamburger Mary's for an early dinner. For dinner, Vee brought her sweet, laid-back friend, Elel. Thanks to dear Elel for her temporary taxi service, we didn't have to wait in the sweltering heat for the bus to take us to the Alanis Morrisette concert. Vee and I went to the Dodge Theater. While I was at the ticket window with Vee, I looked over and a lady walked around the corner into my view. *gasp!* That lady was my Critical Reading teacher last Spring semester, and now she is in my Pilates class. Then, tonight, I bumped into her!! It's eerie to see how often I bump into a teacher on-and-off-campus! Anyway, it was my first time there being at the Dodge Theater, and I felt like I was in Las Vegas because the theater had a HUGE advertising screen outside! I am sooooo tired, I don't think I can finish this blog entry tonight. But have fun looking at the pics!

itsy bitsy spider..

Last Thursday, I was at the library for my English class. Almost at the end of the class, I saw my interpreter's expression change, eyes widening, then pointing frantically at my books next to me. I was on the laptop, researching for dirt on Aristotle. I looked over to see what's deal's about.. Ohh, it's one of those cute, jumping, little spiders. It hopped off my notebook onto the desk. It's perfectly harmless, but doing the interpreter the favor, I flicked it with my finger. The poor spider flew over and landed on the floor between another student's feet. The student glanced at me while my interpreter tried to stiffle her laugh. I grinned and mouthed, "Sorry!" Then, later, ANOTHER little spider was at the desk behind my laptop. It pulled up its forelegs at the interpreter and she moved back a bit. Lol! 2 spiders?! Okay, I told her to move her bag, and flicked that one off the desk. After all, my interpreter needs to do her job without distractions! ;)

Haloscan hack

Are you using Haloscan for your commenting system? Have you noticed many WAP devices (cellphones and pagers) could not access the commenting system due to the use of Javascript? Are you using Blogger/BlogSpot to run your blog? If so, you have 2 choices: one, go back to the Blogger's free commenting system, or two, make a small adjustment to the Haloscan code in your blog. I did a small hack that allow users with cell phones, sidekicks, wireless devices or WAP users to access and add comments to your Haloscan comments pages. The current javascript code blocks many mobile phones from accessing the comments pages.. Good news for you! The Haloscan's javascript can be bypassed. I added a line that will ONLY be seen on web browsers with no javascript.

All you have to do is follow the steps in the Instructions/Code section. When you get to Step 2, use the following code, but replace "YOURHALOSCANUSERID" with your Haloscan User ID:

<a href="javascript:HaloScan('<$BlogItemNumber$>');" target="_self"><script type="text/javascript">postCount('<$BlogItemNumber$>'); </script></a> | <noscript><a href="http://www.haloscan.com/comments/YOURHALOSCANUSERID/<$BlogItemNumber$>">mobile</a> | </noscript><a href="javascript:HaloScanTB('<$BlogItemNumber$>');" target="_self"><script type="text/javascript">postCountTB('<$BlogItemNumber$>'); </script></a><noscript> | <a href="http://www.haloscan.com/tb/YOURHALOSCANUSERID/<$BlogItemNumber$>">mobile TB</a></noscript>

Click either link to see the difference between
enabled and disabled javascript pages.

To make it look more cleaner and ideal, you can also change the "mobile" and "mobile TB" to linked images as well. Enjoy the hack!

      

As for myself, I am removing Haloscan from my site because of stalking and assault incidents from my exwife's second husband. Childish people should be banned from the internet and Haloscan!

the perfect american

Not to poke fun of my Texan friends, but I wonder if she is from that state. America got the world's reputation as one of the fattest countries in the world. Make that fat and patriotic. That picture makes me scared of being an overweight American. Thank God that I am taking Pilates and eating better!

It's just SO wrong that we, fat Americans, have come to the point where we think more is better. More food, more gas, more wood, more fast food, more water, more toys, more greasy food, more money.. Take another look at the picture again, see the bright flags sparsingly covering all that supple flab and think to yourself, "More sex.." Well, yeah, I can see you painfully cringing and wishing you never saw the picture! I'll bet if you spanked her ass, all the little flags would start waving proudly. Ain't that a bitch of a turn-off?!?!

So, here's the bottom line: Learn to take things in moderation! Don't be fat, be healthy.

BaNg! bAnG!

I was riding the bus and a passenger sat in the empty seat in front of me. Then I started to stare at the back of his neck. Wow! I don't mean to be rude, but.. Holy shit! That's the HAIRIEST neck I have ever seen in my whole life! *shudder*

my abs! my ass! my pants!

Today, I realized all my pants and underwear are getting too baggy and loose. I remembered I had a smaller pair of pants I hung on my bedroom's door as a daily reminder to fit in them someday. So, I made the decision to try on these pants my sister and her in-laws got me for Christmas 2003. Yup, I only tried those pants on once right after I got them and they didn't fit. I was meaning to exchange them for a bigger size, but never got around to it. When I moved to Arizona and realized I still haven't exchanged the pants yet, I decided to hang it on a hanger and put it on my bedroom's door. Now, five months later, I've decided to take the plunge and try them on and...

THEY FIT!!! Huzzah!!!

Anyway, I know it doesn't sound simple, but it is when you put your mind to it. Here's how I did it:

• Eat less more often. It is said you'll burn more if you eat food or snacks the same size as your fist five times a day, but at least eat a good breakfast. That'll give you energy for the whole day.
• Limit your sugar intake. If you get a craving for sweets, buy and eat nuts and dried fruit. Remember to follow the suggested serving sizes. And there's chocolate.. Some of us gotta have chocolate or someone would be killed for it, so limit your chocolate intake to one or two times a month.
• Drink at least 1/2 gallon of water a day. Make it a habit to drink 2 glasses of water every 3.5 hours. When you go out to eat, try ordering water with lemon instead of soda or other drinks. You'll be surprised how much easier you can eat without the soda! Also, if you "must" have your favorite soda, buy smaller sizes and limit your intake. You'll find that sodas started to taste a lot better.
• Exercise daily for at least a good hour. I know motivation is the key here. To get motivated, ask a good friend to join you into an exercising program. Or you can sign up for an exercising class in a local community college and ask for a letter grade. A letter grade is a great motivator; after all, we all do hate getting bad grades!

what is a friend?

I busted a two-faced friend today. This so called "friend" signed on under a new AIM screenname to pretend to be someone else, attacked me with insults, called me 'too chunky' and shared my most personal information with others who despise my guts. Is that being a "friend"?

The funny thing is that this "friend" is a chunkier pig than I am. How ironic!

I am loyal and take friendships very seriously. Please keep that in mind whenever you talk to me! ;)

First Friday

If you are ever in Phoenix, Arizona during the first Friday of the month, you should visit the art walk and watch a group of people perform with poi and fire. Maurice and Jenn are a couple of those fire performers. The art walk is a fun activity to check out at 3rd Street and Roosevelt from 6 pm to midnight! The crowd tend to get a little slow after 10 pm. They have a few food vendors and restaurant-slash-art-galleries. There are also artists selling their paintings, drawings or handmade things. One vendor was selling those cool purses and wristbands made from neckties! The lady that makes those also have a website, I think it is http://www.thehouseofmanikin.com. I have an article about it and will quote a few things from it.

a little history

Anyone know what kind of tree that grow these kind of pods?

Well.. I trimmed off most of those pods and branches off the trees out front of my folks' house. I cannot tell you how much I hate and despise those trees. Why? When I was a kid in a mainstreamed elementary school, other kids would collect those pods. The best time to harvest the pods is when they turn black with age and the seeds in bold yellow color. What the kids would do is to take a small stick, scrape out all the seeds and the fuzzy coatings from inside the pods. After enough seeds and fuzz, the kids would collect them into their hands and look for a couple of poor, unpopular kids on the playground. The kids with the pod seeds would dump all the contents into the poor kid's shirt. The result is somewhat devastating, painful and annoying. The seeds' fuzz and dust causes a very high reaction on most people's skin - it ITCHES like a mofo!

Anyway, back to those trees.. My folks complained the trees are messy and inconvenient. I said to my mom, "See, I told you! But you and dad never listen. Those trees are awful!" She asked me what did I meant by 'see, I told you!' I reminded her that when she and dad first bought the trees when I was little, I remember vividly that I told them those trees are no good! Gosh, how I hated those trees! Mom said she don't remember me telling her that. How typical, they never listen anyways! Ugh.

So, now you've got a taste of a little history in my life. ;)
