It pisses me off that some people are just damn too nosey and have a lack of respecting other people's privacy.  I mean sure it's normal to ask people questions about personal matter or things in general in order to get their opinion and what not but you cross the line when you pester for an answer to a question that the other person does not want to reveal because it is too personal and is none of anyone's business.  It is even worse for people to be snooping on other people's personal devices such as PC, PDA and cell phones.  My nephew is in need of some punishment because he touches people's PCs without asking and he opened and read my text messages on my cell phone even before I  get to read them myself which I wouldn't have known I had any text messages if I had not looked through them.  Using another person's device is fine but looking through files and opening freshly sent files is just a big no no. 

So I went with my dad to buy some more ceramic 18x18 tiles so we can do some design work on the backyard patio deck.  We went to a few places but they were asking for $1.80 a square ft which is crazy because I bought the same ones 2 years ago for about 80 cents.  So we went to a few places and finally found a place that would sell for $1.69 so all those other places with the signs saying you can't find it any cheaper anywhere else can kiss my butt.  We bought 35 boxes so the guy loaded in the first batch of 21 boxes and then another batch of 14 boxes but for some reason we ended up with 37 boxes so when did 21 + 14 = 37?  My dad and I had to carry the boxes from the car to our backyard and you know a box contains 5 tiles which is still pretty heavy.  It's about 50 lbs a box so that means we had to carry 2 extra boxes although we aren't complaining because that's still 2 boxes free. 

I think the safety precautions you take to protect your PC and vice versa should be the same with your own drawers.  Everyone should have an adequate and up to date firewall on their PC in order to prevent viruses much like how people should use protection when they have sex in order to prevent std.  I mean if you're always going to go on without using any protection then you are bound to be ass raped and full of viruses.  The only difference between the PC and you is that with a PC you can always reformat your system and start all over but with you, you're not fortunately to hit the reset button and start over because once you're screwed then you're screwed for life. 

Jeez for some reason from the moment I woke up to as of now, I have had nothing but pretty bad luck and today isn't even Friday the 13th!  I guess I was just having Thursday the 12th case of bad luck.  My day started with my oldest bro trying to find the spare key to my dad's new van in my room at 4:00 in the morning but he couldn't find it and I care not to help him find it either and then with me taking my sis to school at 6:30 AM and returning to lay down a bit before having to go to class.  I stupidly set my alarm to 9:45 instead of 8:45 but luckily I tend to become anxious and checked the time around 8:50.  My class starts at 9:45 so I got up and well had some business to take care of before going off to school.  Then in class someone called my class roll number so I had to read a dialogue out loud with my partner and then I had to pick a number.   I picked 12 but that student already read so I went do to 11 but that person already read too then 10 who didn't even show up to class then 9 same story and went all the way down to the number 5.  Later in the day, I came home to the usual bickering of my dear mama who went on about how this doctor she met yesterday was telling her that the more you learn studies and instruments and foreign languages then the smarter you will become which was what her kids did and that is why their level of intelligence is astronomical.  Although I should be saying that is true but considering the person that is trying to convince me this theory is just crap because I have studied a few foreign languages but she always complain and ask why am I learning new languages for because it is useless except for Spanish.  Whatever happened to strengthening the mind?

If you had the opportunity to turn back time to a specific moment in your life in order to change an event an disrupt the course of the future, what moment in time would you go to and what would you have done differently?  I would have gone back to the moments where I was committing a fashion atrocity when I was a kid.  I look back at those times of naivety and am utterly confused as to why the fashion police did not come to my rescue and tackle the crap out of me for committing such a horrid crime to fashion.  Being a kid is not an excuse for fashion mishap because even as a kid you have the choice as to what to wear but it is ultimately up to your parent to purchase the goods for you and obviously parents have no sense of fashion for kids.  Oh the horror!

So I am looking at OMG!  and I still can't believe people are so dumb as to continue talking about oh how they think Brad Pitt was so much better with Jennifer Aniston and how Angelina is sucking the life out of now so that's why he looks so old now.  But come on geniuses, when Brad was with Jennifer he was what 10 years or so younger so obviously he would be looking younger back then versus his older self now.  It's true you know, just because you're a Hollywood star doesn't mean you don't age.  Sure, Hollywood stars would take drastic measures to hold onto youth but they are still people who still age.  I would prefer Angelina over Jennifer any day because one Brad is old so obviously it's time for them to start a family but Jennifer didn't want a family because she wanted to hold onto a career that's not going anywhere since Friends ended so good thing Brad did leave her because now he has a family and is happy saving the world with his super woman.  You never see or ever heard anything about Jennifer helping anyone or giving anything to the world except how she jumps from guy to guy so why is she so great again?

You will only find 3 types of people in a Japanese class no matter where you attend.  One is your crazy Japanese loving otaku fan with their kawaii neko crap, second is your somehow Japanese blood related student who finally thinks they should get in touch with their other culture, and third is your Japanese student who just needs the extra credits in order to be considered full time so might as well take a class that you can easily ace.  Although it is kind of interesting to see what a mix race would look like because in most people you can't really tell until you hear what their last name is then you're just like wtf you're *fill in the blank*!  Who would of thunk it? 

I really enjoy philosophy minus all the jibberish but not because philosophy is an eye opener to many but because it's a reminder of what you already knew by living life.  Sure, philosophy can act as an reinforcement to your already decided thoughts so when you read about it you get all excited because you thought the same thing prior to reading that philosopher's book which is much like horoscopes.  They play on your thoughts and if for some reason you both match then you're all like oh my god this is so true!  But of course when you don't match then that feeling is absent.  Philosophy is something a person with no life would do because they have all the time in the world to think of their existence and question themselves and everything around them.  You exist, 'nuff said.

It is kind of sad to see how much Halloween has died especially for the kids.  I remember back when I was a kid we used to go around the neighborhood and come back with bags filled with candy.  We used to collect so much that our oldest brother had to drive around with us so we could dump our loot off in the car and continue trick or treating without having to turn back home to unload.  Nowadays there's hardly any trick or treaters out in the streets.  In the past few years, at most we would only get 5 ding dongs the whole night whereas at our old house the doorbell just kept on ringing non stop from around 5 to 9!  This year we didn't even get ONE trick or treater.  Even our neighbors didn't go out trick or treating.  What the hell happened to Halloween?  Oh yeah, 911. 

Okay, so who's the retard that came up with the latest Facebook Newsfeed module?  It's so freaking lame!  It doesn't even update and leaves out a bunch of messages so you just have to fiddle around with it to get your newsfeed.  I think the main reason why I like Facebook over Myspace is because of this newsfeed module which is basically like Twitter.  I mean sure Myspace finally jumped on the bandwagon with the newsfeed module too but Myspace is full of spambots.  Like my old childhood friend said Facebook is like a means to a freaking reunion among old friends and relatives and it sure is.  I just think it's a little weird for people's parents to be on Facebook too unless of course they are fairly young but if they're like old and crap and posting on your wall stuff like hey son/baby/daughter blah blah blah then it's just like ehh.   Also, you have to be careful what you post too because they will know!  Like the one guy who posted he finally got laid after a dry spell and his mom accidentally clicked that she liked it so she was like how do I unlike this?  Haha.

You are the sole creator of your own world, the world that you believe in is the world that you see.  You are not God but in your own universe you are the god in your world because you are supposedly a creation of God therefore you are a representation of God without all the divine mighty powers.  But if you could possess such powers then what kind of world would you create?  One of hectic chaos or one with fluffy bunnies and sunshine?  Only you can control your destiny because you are the controller of your world.  There is no divine plan laid out for you, you create your own plan as you go in life because you own your life since you are the supreme being in your universe.

I really do not see what is the big deal about this movie.  It really just a knock off and combo of Blair Witch and Exorcist.  I can see the suspense and the anticipation being the cause of the thriller but I don't see it as being an awesome movie that's so awesome that you could just pee your pants.  Well I guess it seems more like a horror movie that makes sense  because Juon didn't really make any sense since all you really knew was that the woman was vengeful and full of scorn about her lover.  These kinds of horror movies just aren't for me.

It is amazing what people would do just for beauty which does include ignoring side effects, allergic reactions and psychological damages to the person in question and those around.  You know how crazy Asian mothers are about upholding beauty so they could be forever young but then again who wouldn't but Asians are more into it than others.  All other race would go and get liposuction or botox you know anything for a quick fix but Asians on the other hand are scared of death of heavy duty surgery and needles so they option for massive and massive amounts of cream and ointments.  Seriously, there is no Asian mother that doesn't have a butt load of products which they apply step by step every morning and night.  But seriously how far would you go?  My mother spends probably a few hundred every month on Obagi cream, which is really popular among Asians but expensive as hell and causes your face to peel and turn red for a month or two before you can see  the final product.  Now, there is this new cream that is cheaper and works even better that's going around but I don't think my mother should be using it anymore because her face is more swollen than usual and she's getting  hives so we think she's allergic to it but of course users would tell you that's how it works!  She wants me to use it too but umm no thanks I want to go out in public!

You know the saying ignorance is bliss but is it really bliss?  I mean sure for the beholder because you are living in ignorance and whatever that is going on in the world would not relate to you because you wouldn't know or care to know anything in the first place but to the world; you are the fool but of course you wouldn't know that.  My father gave me a little lecture which relates to what my sister heard in temple.  He said it in vietnamese of course but it was something like this...my sister asked him what does caring and telling versus not caring and not talking meant.  It basically means if you care for someone then you should be involved and tell them what you think whether you think they are wrong or right and not because you want to be all  up in their business but because you see the path they are following whereas if you don't give a crap about someone then you wouldn't speak a word to them and just ignore them just like an uncaring parent.  He then went on about how my cousin who just got her chiropractor doctor license said in her graduation speech at her party was about how she wouldn't be the person she is or accomplished any of that if it wasn't for her parents always lecturing her and beating her ass to do well in life haha.  Her parents were strict and crazy because they cared and wanted her to succeed and for that she is thankful for her parents harshness and always getting up in her grill.

My current Japanese teacher is such a clown although she does speak words of wisdom in her humorous banter.  She told us about how her first husband was like 12 years younger than her and her second and current husband is 2 years younger than her because she likes them young since women outlive men so she told the girls to find themselves a young guy haha.  She told us that we are all young so we should go have fun and explore the world while we still can because once you get married and have kids then it's all over and that was what she did when she was younger.  She traveled the world and had her fun until she ran into her first husband and got married but of course in her mind she is forever 28 year old.  She told us when she was a kid about 10 year old, her father took her to the public bath and that was where she learned to swim...in the men's public bath.  She did pretty well because she was the #1 champion junior free style swimmer in Osaka until she quit swimming in junior high.  Apparently in college she was a cheerleader, but it is pretty hard to imagine your teacher being able to do stuff like that but then again Japanese people have always been crazy like that.

In other news, I went to the Akimatsuri awhile ago and it was a bit of a disappointment.  I expected it to be more of what a festival was in Japan because the Gion festival was pretty awesome.  This was just too much American because they were selling hamburgers, hotdogs, tacos, burritos, etc.  I expected more Japanese food like takoyaki, mochi, etc.  I mean they did have daifuku, udon, bento boxes, dango but I wanted more!  They didn't even have the goldfish scooping game but instead they had a game where you toss a ping pong ball into little fish bowls to win a goldfish.  I remember the goldfish I won at Gion, I left them in the toilet in my dorm room when I left to go home to America.  The security guard found them after I left and dumped them in the river.  I took some with me in a Coke can which freaked the customs guards in Osaka but they were like just keep it closed instead of confiscating it.  The fishes survived to San Fransisco but they were near dying so I just flushed them.  Anyways, I did play a somewhat fishing game and won the coolest prize in the world!  It's a cute little seal doll in a removable goldfish custom!

American kids nowadays are out of control and do not respect their elders and the reason for that is because in America you cannot beat your own damn kids!  Without physical punishment kids do not fear or respect their parents because there is nothing to fear.  Sure, their parents will yell and ground them and what not but that really doesn't do anything because they will get their privileges back soon after.  But if you beat your kids then they won't dare cause any trouble because they don't want to feel the pain and that is why kids in foreign countries excel in school since they don't want a beat down from their parents for failing school.  Here, parents would be like try your best and if you do bad then the worst they can do is ground you or take away your cell phone.  You must beat your kids for their own good so they can grow up to be the best they can be! 

Okay so yeah I haven't been posting much lately but you know me, I'm lazy as hell haha.  My siblings and I have been getting into the routine of actually doing P90X on a daily basis rather than every now and then and my goodness the pain!  I mean sure before we jogged around daily and what not but none of that was able to get us as sore in all sort of places as doing P90X.  Even my a hole hurts!  Okay, it really doesn't but if it could hurt then dang it would.  The only thing that bugs me about it is that the host is kind of annoying and if only he could just shut the hell up.

My mother can never  get the concept of poison through her head.  She sprays a bottle of Raid around the house as if it's a damn air freshener even though we always tell her dude it's freaking poison so quit it!  I mean I know anyone would love to have a layer of Raid as a topping over their meals and don't forget a nice layer of Raid to protect your feet from the rough surfaces of the floor.  Also, we can't forget the household pets too!  They really enjoy licking the tasteful delight off the floor because it's just so darn delicious and nutritious!
