el zero

i haven't been blogging lately, folks. i think the last time i blog was last week. was it that long ago already? sorrry...i've been busy lately at my work...taking care of personal business...my family
...bloghopping...and enjoying life with a big smile =D. but don't worry folks i'll be back blogging again regularly. i'm also thinking about moving to blogdrive or considering starting another blog at the blogdrive as my second front in my blogging. only if i have more time in my hand or not dog gone tired from my job and my everyday life. it's just an idea not yet decided by me. i guess this it na again for me for the evening. i'll see ya all again soon. Godbless and chow :P'.

the end result

it's sunday na naman for me again. my kids still asleep. my wife left for work alread and she won't be back until later on this day. and here i am alone on my bed with my notebook blogging the morning away. it's foggy, drizzling and kinda cold outside. and we are having another misreable weather in daly city again. i hated it. but then i kinda like the cold weather better than the philippine kind of weather. humid and smoggy hot weather. i got used to being in a cold weather. not that i'm being a cold person. i just like being cold and i don't even bother wearing a jacket when the weather is cold.
it's kinda quiet in the house at this very moment. not until the kids wake up from their hibernation and that's when our place is alive and awake, with nimble feets shaking the place from it's foundation. kids will be kids. either they are playing with each other or fighting and me being in the middle to be the referee, the judge and the lawyer...eheheh.
and speaking of the law...the end result of my court hearing last friday came out in a positive way. i didn't get punished by the distict attorney harshly. actually the way my public defendent
told me the charge was a waste of time in the distirct attorneys eyes. because it doesn't have any merit to it other than the cat got away when we were moving away only to be found by the s.p.c.a. (the animal cops) hungry and making a lot of noise in the second floor ledge of the apartment we used to live in. so, instead of being charge of misdemeanor the district attorney made a deal with my public dependent to only charge me for an infraction with a fine and a one year probation for the cat making too much noise in the neighborhood. a lesser charge of a misdemeanor. the fine is the one that got me. i have to pay a court restitution for $163.00 dollars and $605.00 to the s.p.c.a. for taking care of the cat and getting it adopted to another family. i have a year to pay for it in increments. it sure put a hole through my wallet and pocket
...wahhhh :(. it's a another deserved lesson i've learned in life and the most expensive cat i've ever earned. i kinda miss the our pet cat. by the way our cat's name is matrix. she is a female and she is a short hair black cat that i found outside our apartment and raised it since she was a kitten. maybe in the future i'll get me another cat. i still got to ask permission from my boss (
my wife)...eheheheh. i'm thinking about getting a yellow nape (south american) or a double head
(mexican) parrot for a pet. i used to have a yellow nape parrot. she died of old age. and she sure can talk especially in tagalog. i taught her to talk in tagalog and do a lot of tricks. i'm the only one that lets me pet her. my wife couldn't pet her 'cause she will nip her to hell...eheheh.
i'm very glad everything turned out alright for me in the court for pleading no contest. and for pleading no contest, i'm in-between guilty or not being guilty. i thank God for giving me the strenght within me not to be afraid face my conviction. i guess this is it na for me again in this quiet cold sunday morning. i'm blogging-off na and i'll see you all again later on. Godbless and chow :P'.

quotation for the day...

"our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. a positive attitude causes
a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. it is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraodinary results."

today is the day

it's friday and payday na already for me and at the same time today is my day to go to court and face the judge for my misdemeanor charge at the south san francisco district court. my misdemeanor charge is about our pet cat that got away when we were moving to a new resident and was found by the spca (animal cops) at the old place we left. she was found on the side ledge on the second floor of the apartment. me and my sons were looking for her for a long time in the neighborhood only to show up a week later. when the spca found her they have to use a ladder to get her down. and now i am being charge for a misdemeanor for not taking care of our cat. i don't what kind of penalty i have to pay. it could be a fine, community service, probation or jail time (probably this is for dui, drugs, or prostitution). mine is a lesser one. but then i still have to face the judge for it. i am ready to face my conviction. i am hoping and praying to God that i won't be prosecuted harshly for something that was not done by me nor committed by me other than our pet cat who did it to herself for getting me in this kind of mess. today is the day for me and i hope everything will turn out fine for me. wish me luck na lang today, folks. i don't even have a lawyer for my judgement day. because i'm just going to plead no contest to the judge today. it's a no-no win situation for me other than just go with the flow. i guess this is it na for me for today. it's almost time for me to get ready. my court hearing will be at 8:30 am. i'll just let you all know what kind of punishment i receive later on. Godbless and chow :P'.

shell shock !

just finished reading an article in the u.s. fhm magazine about the anatomy and life of a lobster that i want to share to everyone in the blog world. this is another way of keeping the cost of her (your date) meal in check with these nauseating facts about the lobster. if you want to be a cheapskate tightass.

-- lobsters have two bladders in their heads, and they piss through nozzles under the eyes.

-- after mating, the male sometimes eats the female's shell, which then takes two weeks to
grow back.

-- lobsters have teeth inside of their stomachs.

-- lobsters love pissing on each other. males pee all over each other during fights. both males
and females soak each other while mating.

-- lobsters use their feet to taste food.

-- male lobsters have two penises and take a mere eight seconds to bust a nut. big studs.

i like the last entry about the lobsters. just imagine all the human males in this world having two penises and busting the nut in eight seconds. we're going to have a lot of smiling tired satisfied
females...hahaha... :P'...plus a population explosion. darn it ! who needs 'em stinking viagra. when we have two penises. one main one and the other one for a back up. my gulay, i don't care if the lobsters have nasty looking anatomy and funny lives under the sea, i'm still going to boil
'em, peel 'em shells, rip 'em meat away from the shell, dip the meat in the butter and stuff it in my mouth, chew it, and swallow it with a big gusto :P'. lobster is one of my favorite shell crustaceans. large prawns being my first and crabs being my third which i nicknamed shit
eaters. because that's what they eat under the sea. dead matters (or a dead body) and shit from other sea living creatures. and to think of it...we eat 'em and shit 'em...eheheh :P'.
i guess this is it na for me again. it's kinda weird blogging about lobsters. but don't worry, i got more weird things to blog. i haven't been digging deep enough in my filing cabinet, where i kept all the interesting articles i've downloaded and printed the last ten years.
once again, it's time for me to blogg-off and mosey on. sige na, i'll see you all again later on in the blog world. Godbless and chow-chow :P'.

quotation of the day...

good morning yo!

well, today is tuesday na already. hindi ko alam kung busy ako sa trabaho ko nyon. kahapon i was sooo verrry busssy :(. ay, salamat sa diyos natapos ko lahat ang trabaho before i went home.
hopefully today hindi ako masyado busy dito sa trabaho ko nito. i'm getting tired of doing the same thing day in and day out. but then i can't complain about it a lot. suwerte na me trabaho na permanently ako. that i am very grateful for it. i guess ito nalang for the meantime. it's almost time for me to start my work na. i'll see you all again later on. Godbless and chow :P'.

truth in love

"your kingdom is built on
what is right and fair. love and
truth are in all you do."

- psalm 89:14 -

the single most difficult pursuit is truth
and love.
that sentence is grammatically correct.
i know every english teacher would like
to pluralize it to read: the most difficult
pursuits are those of truth and love. but
that's not what i mean to say.

Love is a difficult pursuit.

Truth is a tough one, too.

but put them together, pursue truth and love at
the same time and hang on baby, you're in for the
ride of your life.
Love in truth. Truth in love. never one at the
expense of the other. never the embrace of love
without the torch of truth. never the heat of truth
without the warmth of love...
to pursue both is our singular task.

truth and love. love and truth. i wish everyone in this world we live in can live with both truth and love in their heart. but then we live in a very cruel world. never can we live in perfect harmony. because the world we live is not made to be perfect. nobody or any living thing in this world is perfect. everyone commits all sort of sins. bad and evil. everyone dies. and God himself is the only perfect being in this world. if everyone is too perfect in this world. the world would be a strange place for everyone to live in. it's a done deal.
today is the august 7th. already late sunday afternoon in daly city. foggy and cool outside my home. kinda depressing weather we are having over here in the middle of the summer. while some parts of the bay area is sizzling in the heat of the summer. what can i say? too many filipino's cooking rice here in daly city, thus fogging the city...heheheh...just kidding :P'.
nothing much is going on with me over here in a lazy sunday afternoon. other than just blogghopping in the web and at the same time channelhopping in front of my television while i use my laptop relaxing on my bed my younger daughter snorrrring the sunday away by my side. she's taking her short sunday nap while i blog away. nothing much is going on in the television world for me nor the blogghopping that i just did a while ago. there's only three blogg web that i like to stop-by and read their article is that of bellelove (which doesn't exist
anymore), ajay (this time she is blogging about coffee and food), tito rolly (he got tag and has to tell his blogg group what is his favorite fiction and non-fiction book) and sometimes i check on kiwipinay (who is always in the hospital getting treated for her remedy). and if i still got some more time in my hands, i ended-up blogghopping on other blogg websites. just reading what they blog about in their blogspot. in another i'm getting to be too nosssy...hehehe :P'. my favorite bloggspot is ajay's. i like the way she bloggs and her style of blogging, changing her blogg article
from one subject to another. as for me, i'm still trying to improve the way i blogg. but nevertherless, the more i blogg the more i will improve the way i blogg. but not in a perfect way. because nobody is going to be perfect. and if you do know who is perfect in this world let me
know about it. pssst...even stalin, mao and hitler...killer of all men...was never perfect.
i guess this is it na for me for this quiet late sunday afternoon. i blogg too much already and i'm getting coolee eyes already...hehehe...my gulay, it's just a joke. i'll see you all again later on. for
one thing, i'm not ready for monday...wahhhhh :(...this weekend went by too fast for me...all the time. sige na, time to blogg-off na. Godbless and chow :P'.

a little prayer for everyone in this first sunday of the month...

"Lord
i have so few ways to pray,
but you have so many ways to answer.
keep me alert
to your unpredictable answers,
to your unexplainable surprises,
and by your grace,
make me one of those surprises,
for the sake of the One
who taught us the surprises
of moving mountains,
healing touches,
wondrous stories,
great banquets,
first suppers,
broken bread,
crosses, and resurrections."

friday prayer

sometimes, Lord
it just seems to be too much:
too much violence, too much fear;
too much of demands and problems;
too much of broken dreams and broken lives;
too much of war and slums and dying;
too much of greed and squishy fatness
and the sounds of people
devouring each other
and the earth;
too much of stale routines and quarrels,
unpaid bills and dead ends;
too much of words lobbed to explode
and leaving shredded hearts and lacerated souls;
too much of turned-away backs and yellow silence,
red rage and thge bitter taste of ashes in my mouth.
sometimes the very air seems scorched
by threats and rejection and decay
until there is nothing
but to inhale pain
and exhale confusion.

too much darkness, Lord,
too much of cruelty
and selfishness
and indifference...

too much, Lord,
too much,
too bloody,
bruising,
brain-washing much.

or is it too little,
too little of compassion,
too little of courage,
of daring,
of persistence,
of sacrifice;
too little of music
and laughter
and celebration?

O God,
make of me some nourishment
for these starved times,
some food
for my brothers and sisters
who are hungry for gladness and hope,
that, being bread for them,
i may also be fed
and be full.

just blogging a simple prayer for the world we live in. good or bad. hoping and praying that the world we live in will always be a wonderful place...planet...and in the galaxy...to live in. it's friday
na naman and am i glad it's friday. whopeeee :P'. it will be another busy day for me at my work again. gotta pull all the energy i need to make it through this day to finish all my work before my shift ends and celebrate another wonderful weekend i dearly needed. but don't worry, i'll survive today. i'll make it through my work with no problem. i guess this is it na for me. it's time to start my work na already. i'll see you all again later on. Godbless and chow :P'.

hoping

i'm hoping today will be a good day for me. because my thursday is always my bad day at work or at home. it's going to be another busy day for me sa trabaho ko again. time to hustle and sweat again trying to finish all my work before my shift ends which i always normally do, panting like a dead beat dog. i guess it's time for me to go to work na. i'll see ya all later again. Godbless and chow :P'.

hump day

time. what is time?


st. augustine of hippo when asked, "what is time?" said,
"i know what it is, but when you ask me i don't." yet it is
absulutely fundamental to our life: "time is money." "i don't
have enough time." "time flies." "time drags."

this is how alan watts felt like day after day in his everyday life and this is how i am feeling as i go through my life. it's either too much time in my hand or less time in my hand. and in the end i'm just enjoying whatever time i have in my hands or given to me by the higher authority from the heaven. today is humpday for me and will have another long busy time at my work earning that hard work greenbacks to make ends meet. good morning nalang to everyone out there in the blog world. time for me to go to work na. hope you all have a very wonderful time out there.
Godbless and chow :P'.

almost time

it's almost time for me to go na. natapos ko na rin lahat ng trabajo na pinagawa sa akin ng boss ko. my gulay, ang dami. pero natapos ko parin with a high five. masaya na naman ang mga telephone customer namain especially pag meron na silang dsl. hindi sila mabubuhay na walang dsl especially iyong mag yuppie na puti. dsl is second to their coffee. it's almost part of their life. as for me i can live without the dsl. i still don't have it at home. i'm still using the dial-up. slower than a darn snail. shame on me. nakakatawa i work for a telephone company i still don't have the dsl. eventhough my telephone company is offering it cheaper for a whole year. $14.00 dollars a month. can't beat that deal. maybe i'll subribe to it in the near future. nakaka tempted. i guess it's almost time to uwi na. my shift is almost over na and i still need to sign off my time card. sige i'll see ya all lter na naman. Godbless and bye-bye :P'.

so far so good

my monday and first day of the month of august is going by smoothly for me, so far so good, doing and finishing my job efficiently as my boss loads me up job after job. so far i feel like a tennis ball getting bounched around from one work to another. it's kinda busy for me today but nothing new for me to say anything about it or complain about it. it's a job and it has to be done in the end of my eight hour shift. i guess my lunch break is over na. see ya all later on again. Godbless and chow :P'.
