Hi Wow, It's been ages since I left this page with webs and spiders. I don't think I've used this for 3 years. So I better get my journal start up again. I hope I'll do my best to keep it updated, no excuse to the fact I have a Facebook account that I devote all of my time to. Well...I do love facebook because I get to see what all my friends are up to! At the same time, it's nice to post my feelings on the quiet side of Cyberworld. Here.
Ok, La La La.
Oh.
I'm getting a haircut next week when I get my goddamn SSI. I've been broke for three weeks! It sucks when we all know we live for money.
Just a hair trim...and maybe a rockin' bang. No, not 'bang' down there. I mean hair bang. The cute whispy kind. Ok, that. I'm kinda tired of having a long hair getting in the way. I alway pull my hair up in a ponytail and it is getting tiresome and....I look like some high school girl. EWWW! I'm almost 30 for godsake. So i need some progressive in my makeover.
Other thing today....I'm pissed with the Social Security Department. They are going to give me $721 until I go in there to give my residence address. I have a PO Box for a reason so...it's kinda stupid they they're dangling the other half above my head for a proof of residence address. GRR.
I feel I'm still crawling in a dark tunnel until I see a light at the end.
That's all for now.Current Mood:  annoyed |

Can you said Californication, Californication, Californication really quick? It's a title of a song from The Red Hot Peppers. God, I totally remember them!
Here's an update. Yes - I'm in California. Screw y'all! Yes, that's right. Just kidding! <3
Some of you guys know and most doesn't.
Just moved here last week for a job through an pretty good organization which I am working under right now, an Supported Living Services Program that provides services to developmentally disabled adults who are Deaf and Deaf-Blind. I work with 2 clients as of right now (Awesome guys, I tell ya). Personal attendant by day and a paid roommate by night. Yes I get paid to sleep, watch tv and munch and oh yes get my ass up to check on the client few times or if the client is up all night. How cool is that? Well, the first day at work was very overwhelming since my two supervisors wanted me to work with 2 clients at different times right away on the first day with very little trainings, imagine that? It was too much until the next day I was placed into Orietation Class with lots of trainings which I am required to take. The days became alot better when I got the idea of how the system works. I did get plenty of advices from other PAs(Personal Attendants). Um, I would rather call myself as an Independent Living Skills Assistant becuase that sounds better but anyway...
So far...I'm enjoying Cali very much due to the sunny days we have most of the days here. Not used to the crazy drivers yet but I'll keep that one on hold until I go to L.A. someday - Oh boy. I'm looking forward to visit San Francisco someday which is about an hour and half away. I don't know almost anyone here but some who I've met have been great and helpful. Oh yes, I gotta to add...I didn't have a place to stay except for couple of nights at a motel. I still consider myself very lucky. On the first day, I was escorted to a house where I now live and work overnight. A huge house in a nice suburbia community. My size of my bedroom is about 1,000 sq. ft. That is a huge ass bedroom. Everything is taken care of. cleaning, yard works, maintence, rent and bills. There are few cons as a paid roommate. Rules, privacy and no parties. There are about 5 or 6 different Personal Attendents plus a supervisor coming in and out days and night for those clients including my client too for the day. They are responsible to keep the house clean and report any repairs and stuffs like that. If anything goes bad, I have the right to bitch as the head of the household or a "Madame"...haha not really. Anyway, now you all know what's going on.
I'm putting up this great punk song from Red Hot Peppers "Californication" to my journal based on a perspective of California like everyone's on the high life road or the other way down. Welcome to the world.
*one...two...and three! Drums!*
"Californication"
Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californication!
It's the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood
sells Californication!
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging
[Chorus:]
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Marry me girl be my fairy to the world
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication!
Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderon's not far away
It's Californication!
Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population everybody's been there
and
I don't mean on vacation
[Chorus]
Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
They're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
From Californication!
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest
There is no test
But this is what you're craving....
[Chorus]Current Mood:  jubilant Current Music: "Californication!" Red Hot Peppers |

The only game I've been playing is "Press refresh to check emails or comments" on my laptop.
Hmm it's almost time to rearrange my documents in the filebox. Yes, that's how boring I am.

The video took me away, watching this awewsome traditional dance over and over. It's amazing on how hard it is to keep with the perfect hand movements. Gee...I'm still amused by this.

Also there's a column from a Chinese Newspaper about the dance leader Tai, and the dancers who are either Deaf and Mute. I give a big round of hands for those performers, seriously.

Driving along the way home from California with Leslie...Near a town in Oregon called Gold Hill, there was a big sign that is written in an old fashion western-style writing that says 'House of Mystery', surely it was a mystery right on the tip of our noses so we decided to take the exit to follow the signs throughout the streets of a small town that used to be a mining town - anyways, it was like 5 miles of dirty road into the woods until at the very end of the road, there it is on the left side of the road, the 'House Of Mystery' set oddly on a hill near a creek. The tiny house doesn't look like a real house until I read more in a brochure about the real fact that it used to be a office for a gold mining company in the late 1800s (Gold Rush Era). The tiny place looks like it was about to fall apart but somehow it was modernize structured to keep its true form when it was abandoned for years until it was found again in 1940s by a couple who went hiking in the area. Yep, some freaky moments happened there.
Don't ask me how the house came to looking like this. I'm thinking the tiny house was pulled down by a mudslide in the old days when it was abandoned and turned into a haunting place. It is told that Native Indians called this place "The Forbidden Ground" because they could pick up some werid vibes, I guess. Really, there's a scientific theory explained that it's the vortex field that makes the place screwy. Only 3/4 of an acre (the affected area is in a circle) is a whirlpool field of force which is the oppsite of normal vortex balance on the earth. It has to do something with the gravitational vortex of our solar system, down to the electronic vortex of the atom, the vortex form recurs throughout our world structure...this only place shows the disturbace structures of normal vortex - for example: We know the simple fact that a golf ball will roll down on a tilted floor following the gravity, right? BUT in the house, it goes the opposite way, the ball will just roll up the slated floor with no illusions or anything else but with our true eyes. It goes the same with a broom that can stand by itself on a tilted floor (I'm not kidding). The vortex balance is waay off in that area. Also there's another strange scientific analysis of the screwy vortex field where physical facts are reversed - If you stand on a flat platform facing another person toward south, you'll see the change in a person height, the person become smaller. When you switch places, you will see the same person facing toward north much taller than the person's normal size. Oh yes...it involves the magnetic field where the magnets tends to be strong in the area. If you bring a refigator magnet to the area, you'll see how difficult to pull it off a placed metal post in the area than you would take it off the refigator at home.
Very strange. After all, the place wasn't created on purpose, it just happened. The place is haunted for sure. See it for yourself.
The entrance.
Inside. No 'shroomes were involved.
Me standing
Leslie standing
Broom with its own mind - standing.Current Mood:  okay |

A clean-cut old man in a wet rain coat came up asking me if the seat is available, "Yeah", I said. We smiled at each other akwardly as soon I jumped back into what I had on my mind while I stared outside the window beside where I sat down. With a mystery of him, I glimpsed at him for a bit and could see him unzipping his soaked dripping rain coat and set it on a coat rack nearby in a sense of relief that he had. He sat down with a tired sigh trying to catch a breath at a time which I knew he be would be an annoy as I looked away again. I could smell the fresh rain from his coat somehow. After a while, the old man got up and went to get a cup of coffee - instead, he brought two. I was puzzled at him thinking he might be some psycho when he set down two cups of coffee on the small rounded table that was set few inches apart between us where we sat in a big nice purple velvet-made armchairs. 'One for him and one for me.' He gestured with his hands. I became a tad bit off because I wasn't sure of him so I kept an eye on his scruffy face and his movement as he sat down cheerfully and ready to drink. I sat frozen but looking at him. "Nothing to worry, drink up--You know, I've lived here for many years and the city never ever made me feel lonely. Interestin' isn't it?" I smiled with a akward look on my face thinking he is definitely crazy. I could smell the strong aroma of the fresh brewed coffee on the table. I began to become a bit nice, if you mind. I looked down seriously at the cup thinking I wouldn't drink it. The old man sighed and began to drink his coffee as he looked out of the window at the bustling sidewalk full of people walking - teenagers, senior citizens, colorful kids, punk rockers and mostly short and tacky Japanese tourists paced quickly down the sidewalk in a tight group in the rain like how they would do back in their home country. The old many broke out a chuckle that brightened up his eyes when he saw the Japanese tourists standing around in the rain with a confusion of a whole different city on a corner with a map in their hands. I smiled quietly again and knew I'd smirk. I did. I can feel the peace already but I felt the quiet alert of him being there as I observed him with a careful eye. He knew he didn't need to observe me but the environment around him. Eventually, in few minutes, I started to pick up the coffee and took a small sip. A strong taste came onto my tongue. It needed some sugar. The scruffy old man still sitting and chuckling at the Japanese tourists again with his coffee in his hand and looked at me starting with a gesture to encourage me to clink the cup with him in a peace-minded way knowing that I would find this kind of funny. I did. "Ah can you see how lovely Seattle is?" It took me a quite few time to catch what he said. "Heh Yeah. Beaootful townn.", I assumed the sound I had said in my accent. I went on to sit a little more further into the big comfy armchair with a familiar feeling of the crushed velvet rubbing upon my back a bit, being careful with the warm cup of coffee cupped in my hands. The man has given me a quite stir-up of warm-tingly happiness inside that I haven't had my mind wrapped onto it for a long time. I continued to smile at him as we exchanged gestures and small talks for the next five minutes. Yes, he knew that I couldn't hear. It was raining all day that day and the old man had finished his coffee, mumbled something quietly which I really wanted to understand but didn't want to interrupt the 'good time' searching for a paper and pen so I smiled back at him to show him that I understood in a way. He got up to get his big old rain coat on. He stood tall which gave out the whole image of himself that I haven't seen of when he came in. He became familiar, but...he's just a old man that came in and shared a cup of coffee and pretty much about his full-cup of his life in the city. I realized I didn't want him to go since he was so much in my comfort zone for a while. Just a seat across me knowing that he is there beside anyone else that I wouldn't want to sit next to. We didn't have to talk much but already knew a bit of each other. He left waving good-bye. "Byee." with a smile, I waved back at him when he went out of the door in the rain. With a mixing feel inside telling me to look out for him. He walked out toward the sidewalk in the pouring rain and I moved my cheek closer to the window to get a peek of him until he disappeared into a alley right around the corner. Suddenly, I felt the cold window on my cheek and pulled away, looking down into my beige colored coffee with a strong coffee-y smell for a long while, trying to get ahold of this memory that I will want to keep on for a long time. With a thought to myself, "Yes, I'll never forget you, psycho." That one left me smiling.

| » Your shampoo is nasty |
|---|
Have you ever read all the scientific words on the back of your shampoo and conditioner bottle? I have read it many times and done some researches online at some points whenever it comes to my mind. I thought to myself..."what am I putting in my hair?" Useless chemicals? Really, my point is that what really blinds me is that I have too many bathroom products: shampoos, conditioners, mousse, liquid soaps and so on that was cluttering my bathroom cabinets. I was surprisingly disgusted by this. "What have I done to myself?"
Have you ever felt that you brought products to revivify yourself or the bathroom as a woman??(The highest percent of shoppers are women and they are targets.) I think this kind of things that we women are doing should be called 'Product Lust'. I'm seriously sick of that. I have too many bathroom products! ugh. I have done lots of researching last night about all the scientific words on every bottle I buy. They meant NOTHING and full of color dyes and fragances. They are just residues that builds up on you and forces you to use the same product until it residues on you. For example...I have used the same shampoo for a week, and then I notice the funky smell from the shampoo after a while then I switch to another shampoo to get rid of the smell but it does the same thing over and over into cycle. Another sickly example about the deodorants you have. Did you know all deordorants has aluminum in it? It is made in to block your natural toxin which is important part of body circulation. It's all sweat. Don't block it with deodorants with aluminum in it. Your body needs to circulate toxins. That's what the scientific words are. It's all about advertising products to be beautiful, savvy and smell sexy. Forget it. My god, advertisement even comes into your own bathroom. It's scary as fuck. It goes the same for food and clothes.
This morning, I trashed all the products that I don't need. I looked at every bottles that I had used in the past are starting to haunt me. I used that shit on myself; the shit used on animals and the money I have wasted on.
I yanked all the nasty products out and threw them into a plastic trash bag and dumped into my car trunk for whom I could give to...the poor people who needs help with personal hygiene. Good luck.
I am going to have a new start with what I have and need. My goal: To use all natural organic... be good to myself and the environment.
Now I have a uncluttered bathroom. Ahh I have room to breath.
 Bye-Bye!

| » Ooo! The world's first Wi-Fi consumer digital camera. |
|---|
Let me unveil this sweet looking technology that some of you might not have heard of it.
Kodak Easyshare-One Digital Camera. The world's first Wi-Fi (Wireless Networking)digital camera. Forget about using your cell phone camera. THis Camera says it all. You can email ur digital pictures right from your camera anywhere, modify pictures, and so on. I'm thinking there gonna be one con about this...you got to find a hot spot to email pictures...not in the middle of a rain forest in Brazil or on the Amish settlements. Yea, duh. But thus, think about this way...it's cool that you can send pictures anywhere near a hotspot (well, if there is) at the end of touring around in the city of Madrid, Spain where you're dog tired and out of energy to find a internet cafe hoping to find a coin-operated-computer - I'm serious. With a usb connector to connect up the camera and figuring out how it is supposed to work on the goddamned computer. When you're done figuring...here goes another few minutes for the photos to upload onto the computer...hoping nothing goes wrong. I've been there. (sighs) I am considering about getting this camera soon as the price drops. $600! My ass. It's definitely on my list for my next trip around the world.
Note to self: Don't send dirty pictures to the wrong email when I'm intoxicated.
Here's the link to the The World's First Wi-Fi Consumer Digital Camera from the one and only kodak site. Ahh the kodak moments. . . Oh! here's the link...

|---|
How many of these did you know about? Well, I got a interesting email from a friend that you guys might find this interesting and useful and could $ave your money. You'll be thankful like I would be - someday.
I threw in some ideas of mine.
A sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed. (hmmmmmm...)
============================================
Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps them neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to.
=================================================
For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put Dawn dishwashing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won't refreeze.
=================================================
To remove old wax from a glass candleholder, put it in the freezer for a few hours. Then take the candleholder out and turn it upside
down. The wax will fall out.
=========================================
Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped in baking soda. Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!).
=================================================
Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt BLUE!)rubbing alcohol on paper towel.
=================================================
Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S Pads, I immediately take a pair of scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to throw away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided that this would be much more economical. Now a box of S.O.S pads last me indefinitely! In fact, Ihave noticed that the scissors get sharpened this way!
=================================================
Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogenperoxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works every time! Now, where to put the body? LOL
=================================================
Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal for inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks. Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean. Don't wash windows on a sunny day. They will dry too quickly and will probably streak.
=================================================
Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely light scent in each room when the light is turned on.
=================================================
Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will smell freshly washed for weeks to come. You can also do this with towels and linen.
================================================
Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3 hours prior to burning.
================================================
To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a charm!
=================================================
To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or twoof dish soap and enough water to cover bottomof pan, and bring to a boil on stove top.
================================================
Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.
================================================
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it willkeep for weeks.
================================================
When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out thecorn's natural sweetness.
================================================
Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half, and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
================================================
Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for futureuse in casseroles and sauces. Left over wine? What's that?
================================================
To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area and you will experience instant relief.
================================================
Ants, ants, ants everywhere ... Well, they are said to never cross a chalk line. So, get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or
wherever ants tend to march. See for yourself.
================================================
Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better still,leaves a lovely smell to the shine.
================================================
When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter,
and then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly andeasily.
=====================================
Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer........
Clean a toilet.
Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush and flush.The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous China.
================================================
Clean a vase.
To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water and drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets.
================================================
Polish jewelry.
Drop two Alka Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and immerse the jewelry for two minutes.
=================================================
Clean a thermos bottle.
Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (or longer, if necessary).
================================================
Unclog a drain.
Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer tablets down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar. Wait a few minutes, and then run the hot water.
===============================================
Do your friends a favor. Pass this timely (and some not-so-timely)information on to a friend! I just did.
Makes you wonder about ingesting Alka Seltzer, doesn't it?
Lastly, do not feed Alka Seltzer to the birds. (Gee, that's like giving out an idea.) Well, DON'T!
