Woke up around 2pm. Eat (breakfast) and moved some recyclables from the truck into the garage and after drove the truck to a near gasoline station and added air to the tires, specially the one in the front right. It had been a bit to flat for two days but no one else in the family seemed to notice except for me. It be nice to have our own powerful pump but its really something we don't need. Last time the tires on the other family car were in need of air, I used the air pump that I bought for my bicycle and almost ended up fucking it up. I guess all that friction doesn't do good since the tube of the pump was very hot to the touch and made the same noise that hot metal makes when it come in contact with water.

The reason I woke up so late was because I had a long day yesterday and didn't to to sleep until late since I we had company at our house and decided to sleep till 2 in the morning.

Yesterday was a very tiring day for me at work. It started out very good but towards the end I was very tired, my feet hurt and I was in great need of an energy drink. I made the mistake of only taking two small burritos to eat. Sure I could have bought something where I work at but that be like working for free in my opinion. They do give up a %25 discount but since I don't depend on my parents for money and only have my money to spend, I tend to be on a very short budget. I ended up working for 11 hours but could have worked more if I had more energy.

Right now I'm on winter vacation but it really doesn't feel like a vacation at all. Times like this I wish I lived in a big city like Tokyo where there always seems to be something going on. To me this so called vacation fells more like a be-bored-all-day kind of thing. Specially since its winter and the number of hours, specially since I've been waking up late, are very limited. Most likely its because I don't know how to to have fun and don't use my hours wisely. I'm sure of it. And I need to wake up very early in the day so I can have the most hours starting from sunrise. I did see it this morning but I went right back to sleep. (What bad habits I have.)

It be nice to have a car so I could just disappear for a week or so and come back from my little adventure I would have had.

Its is nice, though, to be outside and to be writing this in the evening sunset and with a nice cold chill in the air. The bad things is that it will get too cold for me to be outside as it becomes dusk and I'll have to move to the comfort on my residency. It is also nice to have the company of friends since been inside and having no interactions is just dull.

With the year almost over, my friends and I are already making plans for next year. That is something I never thought about until recently. How wonderful it is to think ahead in to the future. Those plans include going to the beach, going to Six Flags Magic Mountain and Anime Expo 2009 along with other things. Who knows what 2009 will bring forth to us. Only time will tell.

A Saturday on the Road

I spend most of my last Saturday on the road. We went to drop of a friend who was going to catch a flight to Mexico City from Mexicali, BC, Mexico on Sunday and at the same time we got to see my aunt who we hadn't seen in person for more than 9 years. It wasn't as a big reunion as I had expected since the internet kind of gets rid of the isolation people can get when they are far away from each other for very long periods of time. By that I mean, with the internet you can keep in touch with each other by email, blogging, chatting, video chatting. etc and since we had seen my aunt while we talked via video chatting, I kind of new what I was expecting when I saw her for the first time in a long time. Of course, I took a lot of new pictures on my little trip here and there and I decided to experiment with Flickr since I like the way it it looks better than Photobucket. I'm not saying that I don't like Photobucket (I've used it for some time), Its just that Flickr seems more...( How should I put this?)... "clean." With that said here is a link to my Flickr ablums.

Monday December 1, 2008

I can't believe December is already here. WOW, where has the year gone? I can say that I have at least two high lights this year. The first one been when me, my brother, and my friend Arthur went to Los Angeles for the 2008 Anime Expo. I won't forget that for any time soon. Then second would be me going with a few friends to Morro Bay. First time that has happen in my, ahem... boring life. Well, with that said, I guess my life can only get better and more exciting. I should probably put "getting a girlfriend" in the top of my list for 2009 and "get another job" for second and third "work harder at school."

Now that I think about it, school just doesn't seem the same anymore. During my high school years it was all lay out for me. My counselor would tell me what to take for each semester and from that I guess they expect us to decide what we wanted to do after we graduated. Well, at that time I didn't know what to do. I guess I should have gone with the music program in COS right after I graduated then maybe right now I would have had accomplished something. But that is not the case, I decided to take a year off which was a total waste. No school, no job. I'm surprised I didn't take my life. Why should I have gone into music right away you ask? Well, ever since I was in the fifth grade I started playing the cello, and by accident if may add. But I loved that instrument. I gave it my all and even took private lessons thanks to my wonderful music teacher in middle school. And if it wasn't for her I don't think I would have gotten so good at the instrument. She suggested for me to take the lessons and I did and learned for my private teacher, Dr. Walden. Now, though, I feel as if I have abandoned music since I don't fell the motivation for it and because I quit the music program so abruptly the second semester. I should have had ask for help and then I wouldn't be like I am right now. Its was around the second semester that I got into my head that I was going to move to my home country but it never happen when the time came. It was the money that was holding me back. The main reason would be, well, I'm still trying to figure that out.

Maybe its because I want to go to Japan so bad and learn the language there. But then, I have no guarantee I could travel there even if I was in my home country. Sure I could get the passport but then where would I get the money to pay for the travel there? Specially since people hardly make any money working in Mexico. But who am I to judge a country to where I haven't to a long time. I won't know how bad it is until I experience it. Who knows, I could probably make more money since my English is good but then my Spanish isn't the best. That's why I wish I had a few hundred -thousand dollars and I would be on my way. Even with fifty-thousand dollars I could start my new journey. The only thing that is stopping me from doing what I want is that, the lack of money. Living in the same city for so many years and not getting anywhere gives me those toughs.

More on this later

25 Miles

Today I wrote my bike about 25 miles for exercise. It fells good to do something like that. At the same time I practiced riding my bike without hands. I've been practicing for a while but I always seem to mess up but today I think I almost perfected it. There is a lot of things to polish but the thing that counts is that I'm able to do it without much effort. There's one thing though, I need to fix my bike a bit more.

New President

I'm happy that Obama won the election. What was I doing when this historic even happen? On my bed watching the news. Now that we have a new president chosen to "fix" our nations problems, their is no excuse for the government not to focus on immigration this following years before the next elections. If they keep putting it off then I guess the US isn't that great at fixing problems. And I fell strong on immigration since it effects me a lot. And as a joke (I am NOT RACIST) the house will become the black house. LOL Just kidding. It will still stay as the White House. Its a stupid joke I know. Well that's all for now.

laters.

Raning Season

Fall is here and so is the raining season. The same night, or one day after, that it turned November it rained. And now Almost every night it seems to rain. Except for yesterday when the sky was clear as it could be and the sky was lit by hundreds of start. And to make it better, I saw a good amount of meteors -aka shooting stars-after leaving my friends house. At home I just looked up for a while at the sky on my front lawn and managed to see one big shooting star and about 5 small ones. If only I had a good camera.

Money - Something We Lack

Money is something we can't live without. Money is that paper that we require to get by in society. Money, Money, Money. That's what my mom has been reminding me off this pass few days. She tells me that my brother does not help around the house, she tells me that she is tired of having to deal with the houses payments and that if we loose the house that she will get an apartment with one room. That is telling me that I should have my own place too. But that is something I don't have. Sure, I've tired to get others jobs (get more money) but I'm limited of where I can apply. Why? Simply, I will blame my mom of that reason. But I will also thank her for giving me the opportunity of having a better education, better life. But this doesn't fell like a good life right now.

I pay at least one bill of the house and that's the phone, the internet and the personal cell phones that me and my brother use. FUCK FUCK FUCK. I'm pissed off right now all because of my mom. Fuck. I hate when she does this to me.

Yesterday she told us to go buy some groceries and I first when alone (I figured, I'll just tell my brother t0 pay me half of the bill) and then when I called HER to ask what kind of tomato she wanted she asked me who was with me and I told her that I was alone. Man what a mistake. My mom started bitching about how my brother doesn't do anything around the house. I don't understand where she gets all this Ideas.

But then again I don't see when Hugo contributes to the house either. He does seem to spend a lot of time locked up in the room playing videos games for hours without end. Even staying up till 3 or 4 in the morning. But that's having fun and I don't see any wrong with that. But then, does he contribute to the electricity bill? Does he pay for the amount of electricity he used up while playing on the Xbox while also using the surround sound system? My guest is no from what my mom has been telling me. But then, I myself stay up that late surfing the internet. Does a laptop use up as much electricity as an Xbox? What about all those electric appliances that are connected? Don't they use a fair amount of electricity even in standby mode? The only times I've seen my brother pay for something is when he is 'forced' to use he's money for the house. I seen him pay some bills but I guess my mother does not see that as a good enough contribution. What is it that we have to do? Maybe my brother should not play video games that late and maybe he's appearance will change.

When my brother is not home he's either working or at school and when he is, he's usually in the room playing a game. The reason for he been in the room is simple; for he's entertainment after a long day of work or school. But I don't work as much as him and I think that because of that and the fact that I'm paying for a bill that she thinks that my brother isn't paying for anything in the house. I think my brother has to give her money, show it t her face, tell her "here is my payment and contribution to the house, I'm active in this house." Active... Now that I think about it too, if my brother doesn't seems to be active around the house then that also adds to the reason of my mom blaming my brother for not doing anything around the house. If he just simply cleaned the yard, washed some dishes, cleaned the floor, or did anything productive that my mom could see then that would change her mind about my brother. She has told me that and I quote this "your brother just expects us to do everything around the house. Its only you, me and Javier that do anything around the house." And I have seen evidence of this many times, especially when he's in the room playing a video game. He doesn't bother to ask to help and then just comes out demanding to know if the food is ready, eats and goes back into the room.

But I don't think like that though, but then maybe I need to open my eyes more. I know that I too must worry my mom too. With not working enough hours, only having one job, not making enough money. I'm sure that I need to improve a lot of things about myself. I wish that I had my own place, a girlfriend (maybe be married and hopefully getting permanent residency), a car. The list can go on and on. There is not one day I don't worry about my future. What am I going to do a month from now, where am I gonna be a year from now? Where's my education taking me? Am I going the right way? Maybe I'm not trying hard enough. And to think I could have been a millionaire right now and all this stuff I wouldn't have to worry about. The future would have been set for me. My family and friend would have had it easy. But life isn't always fare.
For now that's all have to say.

Hopefully whatever is going wrong in this family will be resolved some time soon.

Feelingl Like Shit

I don't fell good today. I which I knew why but I don't know the answer.

I went to school to do some homework but then I could not think after a while of "studying." My mind felt too cloudy and I tried taking deep breaths to relaxing and it seemed to work but then something else in my body was bothering me.

I haven't had a headache this bad in a while and it just sucks how it just comes back uninvited. It just doesn't know when to leave. To make it worse, I seemed to have some annoying pain in my left leg which if it persists I'm going to have to get it checked. And to add on to my nagging about the things that are wrong with me, I fell as if though my body has a high concentration of toxins in it and just seems to make my mood even more worse. Hold on, let me laugh a bit about it. (....) There.

Now, where were we? Oh yes. I don't feel well. Someone shoot me. Even as I'm typing this my head just seems to start to fog up. The more I think, the ticker the Fog seems to get. So with that said, I think I better stop typing. Peace out.

OMG

What? I dunno. XD I was bored.

No, just kidding. Here is a good Youtube video blog. HERE. The link is for Tokyocooney's youtube video blog. And HERE's another one. For tofug's video blog.

Early Morning

Aha, Victory! Well almost... I managed to wake up earlier than usual, something I've been trying to do for a while and I managed to do so. And so I'm off to school earlier to well, *cough*for studying. But I should of headed to school a bit earlier but it felt a bit to cold and so I sort of watched the DBZ movie Worlds Strongest. And now I'm writing this. Well, I just get ready and go.

Nice Picture

Ah, nothing like a sunny day with a nice cold breeze to write a blog. Well, nothing big has happen in my life this week, its just been the same as always. >.> I really need car of my own to get out of the city once in a while. (sigh) Come to think about it, I would be extremely lucky to get a cheap one to begin with. (double sigh) And even more would be the occurrence on my traveling to Japan.

Oh, I don't know the original source of the picture but i got found it at http://www.sankakucomplex.com/

Google Hacks

Here's a little hack for you guys who want to download some music but don't trust limewire or those other P2P programs out there. Its still not 100% save or fress but at least you don't have to depend on the program to download the files. Just paste ?intitle:index.of? mp3 artistname and replace the artist name with the Artist, band or song you are look for. If your smart. If you know your stuff then you'll know what to look for and how to go about getting it. Well that's all I got to say for today.

Yahoo!

I can't recall having a headache today, that's amazing! For the first time in a while, I did not have a headache all day. WOW. Just WOW. This day was Wednesday October 1, 2008.

Friends Blog, New Anime

First things first, my friend Art just made a blog today and here its is for your reading enjoyment.

OK, I haven't posted anything in a while but here I am blogging away what you are going to, or actually (*realizing the truth) what you're currently reading. Pretty nice eh? So, today I dropped my Chemistry class. Oh the humanity! Yeah, not really. I wasn't enjoying the class to begin with so I have no regrets about it.

Question: Do you find yourself stuffing the web much more than sitting in front of you TV lately? I do. Why? Because the internet is just so dam fun and 99% of the time it has something better going on than those cable or satellites providers give you for your entertaining pleasure. Speaking of which, I started watching this two animes:

Kashimashi - Girl Meets Girl and NHK ni Youkoso!

OK, so those are those and hopefully I'll finish them in the near future. With so much extra time in my hands I don't know why I never finish them in a short time. Maybe it's because I don't have my own laptop.

And if your traveling to Japan any time soon or just dreaming of doing there some day, here's a website that has a lot of good information for planning your trip to Japan. Hey, a person can dream. http://www.japan-guide.com/ I, of course dream of traveling to Japan someday but I have accepted reality and know that baby steps will get me there someday. Sigh.

I love Japan

Yes, I'm into all things Japanese. Well almost all things. The thought of having a pennies festival still keeps me wondering many things. And here I thought that Mexico had many weird things about it but Japan makes Mexico seems like nothing. OK maybe there are things that might rival it but none that I personally know about.

What got me into Japanese? Simple... Anime. Yes sir, anime was like the first hit of methamphetamine that got me addicted. The thought of having cute anime girl show up out of nowhere was very much what I thought Japan was all about. But of course is not true. Reality is more real than that. No, things like that don't happen in real life... or do they? If it has happened to you, then you my friend are one lucky son of a ... well you get the picture. Anyways, I kept hitting that stuff but some time after I got bored of it. I needed something else. The voices of girls speaking in high pitches just did not seem to get to me anymore (started to get a bit annoying actually). "This is not the way real people talk" I told myself so then I started to watch Japanese Drama. Ah, something more close to reality...almost anyways since J-Dramas are very dramatic. Tragedy this and that, love this and that and of course who could forget the violence. Don't get me wrong, I still like that stuff too. I balanced anime and Drama but J-Drama seemed to lot better since I could see what real people actually looked like. No more anime characters that had hairdos that went against the laws of gravity but real people that dressed up normally. Wait, how come they have really good clothes? That's not... oh yeah, I forgot, its all made up. Rich people have it easy.
Anyways. I could go on and on and probably not anywhere just talking mambo-jumbo so I'll stop here before I give myself so sort of, um... huh....

Well, can't finish that right now. Basically I started saying " I'm into all things Japanese" and I'll keep that way for now. I'll update this until I have something better to say.

I like Anime, J-Drama, and a lot of things Japanese. What would I do without you Japan, what would I do?

What's your personal experience with Japanese culture?

Nothing Wrong With Me

MRI Test Results concluded that everything is OK with my brain. The Doctor suggested that it may only have migraines. Bullshit, I need a better diagnostic. I guess next step is a professional doctor but it will be expensive. Where do I get the money? I guess I'll be stuck in with this headaches for a while. FUCK, oh well.

No Culinary Class

Well, its seems that I will not be able to take the cooking class I was hoping for but I will go next week and see if some one does not show up but I'm sure that I'm the last person in the Waiting list so that may as well guarantee I don't get to be in the class because there's at least two other that want the class. I guess I'll next year.

I stayed for about the lecture part of the class and I was very interesting. We were going to cook a pizza (I was hungry at the time so you could picture how much I was looking to eat my pizza) and we were going to make a wonderful Italian dessert which I forgot what it is called. Very simple yet very "delicious."

After finding out that I was not going to be added but told that I could stay and watch I left after a while since I fell odd and I would be ena waste of my time just standing there and watching everyone else do something.
Well that's that for today.

Headaches

OK, recently I've been writing down about the things that happen when I have this cluster headaches so I gonna start posting them here so you can see if they get better or worse and if there's any new developments.

Sunday, September 14, 2008.
Woke up suddenly and noticed I was late for work. I my headache was intense but nothing I'm not use to. I describe the headache as been more evenly spread out around my head but with a felling of more burning then pain, either way it was an annoying and mild painful experience. Important Note: felt like I could not think right. Took 200mg of prescription medicine and took out pain for about 5 hours and then pain persisted on left side of head, as always. Did not have medicine with me so I could only ignore pain as best as possible. I get my MRI result on Tuesday. Hoping for good news if not a cure to get rid of this fucken pain. Sorry for the language but that's how I fell about it.

MRI

Well, nothing new really but I finally got that MIR I've been wanting to get out the way today. Now I just have to wait till my next doctor's appointment to know the results. I'm crossing my fingers and hopping that they didn't find anything bad in my head. More specific, my brain.

Today OK. I had two test today, my first one been for my chemistry class. To tell you the truth, I don't think I did that well but most of the question were OK except to the conversions... miles to km. cm to inches. etc. I was able to convert F to C and K. :( And then I had to make up my math test too but that was rather easy except for one question I could not figure out. Oh well.

And I think I'm getting sick. A sign that fall in fast approaching.

Three Rivers

Here are some pictures from when I went to Three Rivers with my family (I'm the oldest son) on August 3, 2008. If your not familiar with Three Rivers or Lake Kaweah near the Sequoia National Park you can Google it and you'll find info. Ill tell you this, the place gets filled with water when the snow from the mountains melts into the lake. The lake is drained during spring and summer. When we went the water lever in the lake was very low. I went earlier this year and the water level was very high. You can check it out here: http://chub-z-up-z.blogspot.com/2008/06/june-17-2008-very-good-day-part-2.html

ps. the pictures are backwards, sunset to daylight... to much trouble moving the pictures around with this blogger.

Sunset - Going Down the Hill

You Know what this is right? Right?

Check out the Earlier post of when I was here around June. You'll notice a big difference in water level. http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd137/chickenpotter/Three%20Rivers/DSC07478.jpg

There was this great ninja battle and this was one of the outcomes. Rock cut in half.

Another good picture to compare. Check it out : http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd137/chickenpotter/Three%20Rivers/DSC07461.jpg

August 11, 2008

Yet another boring day for me. Nothing to do really... need to keep myself 0ccupied but bike riding is not the answer all time. It very rewarding but not as fun as it should be since I don't really know any cool places to take my bike off road and stuff. OK there is a few places but they are not that great.

Anyways while I as Anime Expo this year I bought this American Manga titled Megatokyo. I bought the first three books since they were only $5 dollars each and since then have bought all the ones out, that's only five in total. They have a website www.megatokyo.com which you should check out. If you click on search you can read the manga from the begining but reading in on your computer and reading it on a book are two totally different things and I find it much more better to read then in a book form. As they say, it saves bandwith...
The other on is I's and even though Im eager to find out what happends on the next book I just haven't bought the next book. I think there at least 13 books out already...

Catch Up

I haven't written anything in this blog for a while and why should I? I mean its not like anyone is going to read it right? ... I just talking to myself o_0; oh well.
I've been bike riding. I started reading this American manga called Megatokyo and it rocks. I bought the first three books during AX 2008 since they were so cheap. Look it up online and you'll find the online website. I've also been bike riding... as always, but now I take a longer route so maybe thats better exchersice...well, laters

June 26, 2008

Today was a very good day. I went to the movies with my younger brother and watched The Incredible Hulk. After that we headed home and then I went and joined some friends who had been swimming for a while. Water was great but it wasn't really hot today.

One thing I did notice is how the sun turns red when going down because of all the smoke in the air due to the wield fires up in northern California. Even in the morning around 6:15am, when I took my sister to sumer school, that sun was red as in rose from the east but after a while it became normal color.

After a while of swimming me and my friends went to Mooney to try to get something to eat but found that many places were close and ended up eating at Carl's Jr. I had two spicy chicken, and two strawberry shakes. It was delicious. As always, I'm surprised at the service I receive every time I go there. Its more then what you pay for but its good and friendly service for a fast food restaurant.

We headed home and hanged out for a while and then my friends went home and here I am writing this blog about my day. Hopefully tomorrow I wake up early to do what I plan to do.

June 25, 2008

Seen as how I haven't posted in about 4 days I thought I get back on track with blogging, its very easy for me to forget about this but since I can share a little of my life with other I see a little bit of encouragement for doing this. There is however that weird feeling knowing that people are reading about your life and you don't know who they are.

Anyways this last four days have gone by rather quick. Sunday I went to work got out at 2pm and headed home. The family went to Cutler Park to go swimming but I felt a bit tired so I skipped that day in the sun and just stayed home and watched some TV. ( I pay for the dish but I hardly watch TV so I'm making an effort to get my moneys worth)

Monday... Monday... I forget what I did on Monday. Oh yeah, I played my instrument for hours on end. I play the cello. The only significant thing I did on Tuesday was cut the front yard grass. I also played some music for a few hours.

Today I woke up early and tried going to sleep but found it rather difficult with an empty stomach so after a few unsuccessful attempts I got up and had a cup of milk and a banana. That worked for a while but then later I woke up again to do the same thing. I think I'm a Milkcoholic.

Later on after 2pm I went to the bank to get the money for the hotel we'll staying in next week in Los Angeles. In total its going to cost $839 for 5 nights at $147 per night plus 14.12% taxes. Thats a lot but since its our first year going we want a good hotel, hopefully its all worth the money. As a bonus, we are getting free rides by shuttles to and and the LA Convention Center since we booked the hotel online at the Anime Expo 2008 website. Around 5pm my dog starting barking like crazy, she had found another mouse it had seem so after a while I got the hose to flush it out and it work. Right, left, right left it went, my dog was after it and almost caught it but the mouse was too fast and we lost it when it entered the garage. A while later I found another (or maybe the same one) after I flushing a nest nearby and I managed to catch it.

My dog, Chiquita keep looking up try to see if I was going to give her the mouse but I refused to because I didn't want to kill the mouse. I released it in the field back of our house knowing that it would eventually come back.... or not.
Thats all I got to report for today. I got to go to work in a while... oh well.

June 21, 2008

I got out off work at 3pm today and its was hot outside. I got into my car and it read 109F, thats hot! On the way home the temperature dropped to 106F but that was still a bit to hot for my taste but seen as to how I use to live in a desert, my body gets use to it very quickly.

June 17, 2008 (A Very Good Day - Part 2)

The second reason I wanted to get up early was because my uncle, who is visiting from Mexico, wanted to go to Three Rivers. Three Rivers is located about 20 miles from the city but takes a while to get there since its up in the mountains. Here's a picture:
The drive up the mountains isn't bad at all since the turns aren't that crazy, as a matter of fact you are driving an easy 45mph up the mountain, if not faster. Here's a picture going up, you can see how you they carved the mountain to make way for the road. (well at least it seems so that way but I'm not sure so I might be wrong)
Here's a view from from one end of the lake.This signs are common all along the road to and from the mountains.Well after not to long we arrived at our destination and we swam here but only at the safe area.
As you can notice there'ss a road visible to my left (your right) in the picture. That road goes far but since the water level is high right now its not accessible. Well I always use the yellow divider line and the red border ling as a safety so to not go to far into the river. The water level is high so this doesn't look like a river, its more like a lake. No? Heading down the mountain I took this two very interesting pictures, one of a restroom emerged in water and the other of a floating gasoline station for boats which I have never, until now, seen in my life. I found it very cool and odd at the same time.Gas anyone?
After that we went to Burger King and got something to eat and then headed home. Shortly after that I went to work hoping the Lakers would win so I could work some extra hours on Thursdays but they fell behind more then 30 points and lost. Didn't get home till 10pm and thats how that day went for me.

June 17, 2008 (A Very Good Day - Part 1)

I was determent to wake up early this morning for many good reasons. One was because I been trying to get my college ID for over and month and every time I tried to get it something seemed to interfere with my desire. I called COS (the college I attend) early to see if I was able to get my Student/ASB Card. I was told that they were handing out the card now so I drove there, payed the the $7 required to get it thinking that I would get it but to my disappointment I was told that the machine was broken and was told nicely if could go back in about a week when the machine would be running for sure. The only real reason I need this school ID is because I need it to pick up my badge for the Anime Expo on July 2nd. Without it I'm basically screwed and I really don't want to miss it but since this will be the only identification I can get before the trip, I really,really need this thing. Yeah... Well with that out of the way (for now) I had to drive to Best Buy to pay the electric bill and that was taken care of easily and I headed back home, though through my little adventure the truck I was driving did turn off on me at least 3 times. *cough* it still needs fixing...

ps. the best buy I'm referring to is actually a store in the city I live. Not to get confused with Best Buy (http://www.bestbuy.com/) which specializes in selling electronics. Yeah, I always got confused until I was told there was a difference between the two.

Nothing much on Saturday. I went to work in the morning at 9am and got out at 3pm. Later me and friend went swimming, the water was cold, very cold but you get use to the water temperature after a while. After swimming we went bike riding to get dry up and them headed our different ways. Didn't go to sleep till pass 12 am.

An OK Day

Today I woke up at round 11 and took a shower and them went to the casino with a friend of mine. No didn't go to gamble myself, it was mostly to watch my friend and not let him gamble like crazy. OK, I did gamble a little but only $15 that were given to me as tips from the day before. Well I lost it. (said face) I'm use to it. Eh, nothing gained except some good fun. My friend ended up getting the exact amount that he took to the casino which was OK too. After driving back to Visalia I was dropped off at work and then I did the regular things I always do. The bad thing is that it was dead most day and got even more slower around 10pm. I ended up leaving work 1 hour and 30 minutes early. A couple of my friends were at my house chilling with my brother when I got there so we hanged out for a bit. Well thats how my day was, nothing out of the ordinary. Oh yeah, 18 more days to Anime Expo! Peace.

ps. I was going to take some pictures of the outside of the casino ( I don't think they allow photography inside) but it turns out my battery was at home been recharged -_-' how lame. Well here's the website http://www.tachipalace.com/

New Glasses

I finally got new glasses, they broke yesterday at work. \[]-[]/ I'm happy though since this new ones are way better then the ones I had although they are basically the same.

Well work was a killer yesterday and everyone was cheering for the Laker to win and they won. Nice. Twenty-one (21) days left to Anime Expo! Well I got to go to work.

Early Start

Today I woke up around 5:10 am to go do some very early work which I was forced to do, don't worry its nothing bad and its very easy to do. What is it? Well if you know me in person then you'll know but either than that I'm not willing to share with you that information just yet. Anyways after getting back home I tried to go back to sleep but found it very hard so I just go up and made myself something to eat since that usually works but still I couldn't go to sleep. Around 11 or 12am we were going to go swimming but that didn't happened due to some minor difficulties
.
After been bored for what seemed to be an eternity I got the idea of going to the movies. Me and my younger brother ended up seen Kung Fu Panda and I really enjoyed it a lot. What a great movie it was. I think I almost cried (yeah right! No really -_-').

Anime Expo

As of right now there are 23 days (almost 22 in less then two hours) left to Anime Expo 2008 at Los Angeles. I got to tell you I'm looking forward to this a lot and if everything goes smoothly then I'm sure we'll have a great time. Me, my brother, and a friend of mine are going to go starting from Day Zero. Why? Because it's our first time going so we want to have as much time as possible to see everything and thats why we are picking up our badges a day earlier to avoid having to pick it up during the first day of the expo. To make things a little bit more better, we'll be staying in The Westing Bonaventure which is recognized around the world or something like that. The down side of that, though is that parking is very expensive for the day but thats something that we don't have to worry about since we'll be getting dropped off and that means more money for our pockets. Well anyways you can go to their website to get more information if you want to http://www.anime-expo.org/ For now all we have to do is wait, wait and wait till we can go to LA and become otakus. OK I don't know if I can even begging to consider myself and otaku but I'm sure I'll feel like one when I'm there. XD Oh, How are we getting from the hotel to the convention center? Well here's the cool thing, anyone who (pre)registered and booked a hotel online will have access to and from the hotel so thats why we don't have to worry about extra gas and parking. Can I get a Woooot Wooot?

You're My First...

...Blog. Yes, its my first time blogging, well here anyways, but none the less my first time using this free blogging website. With that said I may not know what to do or say so I'll just type whatever comes to mind, hopefully I won't become some sort of zombie at the process and no, my spelling isn't the best so there might be words you won't understand. Soooo this is me:
I would put a little bit more but its late at night and I don't fell like putting anything else in my first blog. The one thing I can say is that one thing I am looking forward to is Anime Expo 2008 so that right there will make my life a bit more entertaining. We'll see how long thats lasts. Hmm, I said I wasn't going to put anything else on my blog huh? So...
