Misunderstanding

Well, one of my co-worker asked me what do I do yesterday. I went out and shopping. Then she asked me what's up with the play that my team leader told her. I explained. She said she will go and watch me. I told her it is a minor character, not major. She said doesn't matter I'm going.



Afterward, I asked her what does the team leader thinks? She said that the teamleader (TL for short) thought that I'm going out to "play" like going to play games or play ballgame or something. I laughed. She said that it is TL first time ever been talking thru relay and TL was kinda awkard. I was like "oooohhhh". It is the same TL that I spoke to yesterday on the phone showed up. My co-worker explained to my TL. Then TL said, "Miracle Worker sound familar?" I interprut and said, "Know as Helen Keller, the bind-deaf girl" Then TL said, "Congrlation!" I said "thanks" Then TL also apolizided(sp) for saying negitive yesterday. I felt relieved to know that there's just a misunderstanding.



Speaking of lack of communication, I found out that my boss had transfer into different dept. There's a new boss. I was like, no wonder my new boss didn't know that I am still interesting in morning shift as well that I prefer less than 30 hours work and didn't want more than 30 hours.



Sigh, I hate being behind on news. I wonder is it too late for morning position, now?? I need to talk to my boss to see what happen. But my guts are telling me that it is. Because, I have already see two more new people for morning position. *Sigh*



Also, I haven't heard another job position that I applied for, yet. I hope to contact them by next week if I haven't hear anything.



However, I can't help but wondering what if my reherseal is more of night shift so that means they have no choice but to put me in morning shift????



MMmmmm, I wonder.....

By the way, I made these artwork.

This Saturday...

Well, this coming Saturday, I will go to reherseal. I decided to lie to my work to let them know that I wouldn't be coming because of reherseal this Saturday evening... Technically, it's morning.

But truth is, I would be too exhausted to able to come to work, anyway. I don't think I would be able to function especially Friday night would be long night of working and I couldn't go to sleep right away when I go home. It took few hours before I would be able to go to sleep; therefore, I would be too tired for Saturday evening, if I'm going to get up very early in the morning.

I'm not morning person! Haha, but again no matter how much I go to bed early, it would be still a LONG hours from 8am to Midnight with a few little breaks. I don't think so.

In a way, weather or not I'm telling the truth, I still can't come. I called my "team leader" (there's several). I explained about my being accepted the role and I wouldn't be able to come. The leader said it is unexauseable. Something tells me that leader is trying to twisted my enjoyable and putting me into guilt but I didn't let that happen. Thank goodness for technology and ... interpreter thru the relay is speaking for me while I type. So the leader never knew about my tone of voice. It is the way I type.. "Oh okay, I'm sorry." But in reality, I "flip my bird" Hahahaha. I don't give a bleep! This is my life and I'm not letting that leader control my life no matter what!! I will do what I want to do, period.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I feel so good. Na-na-na-na Like a sugar and spice... feel good. It's from the music. Anyway, it sure does feel so good to know that I am in charge of my life and I'm not let the company control my life weather they like it or not. Pppppffffftttttttttttt

If I'm that worthy of the employer, they will have to accept it because, truth is I'm the harder worker of them all. *held my head up and be happy*

*sigh* For some reason, after writing this, I feel a whole lot better.

**********************************************************************************

In meantime, I'm still working and find my time to play and watch tv. Last Saturday was very busy from 2pm to closed. I came home very late. Sunday between 2pm to 7pm was extremely BUSY. I was so grateful that after 7pm things got soooo quiet and not busy. I came home early.... Very early. I've watching my movie and laying around and play with computer. I'm so grateful to enjoy my longer evening off last Sunday. Monday wasn't so bad.

Today is Tuesday and it was my off day. For some reason, I just have to get out of the house. It's been raining all day long. I waited and waited but I gave up. I took myself a shower after dinner and went out. Lucky, it was just perfect timing that the rain stopped. I haven't been shopping lately and I don't have any nice tops. I have way too many tank-tops. I brought them last year during the time It was June/July when it was extremely hot! Since, right now, it is not extremely hot. I'm talking about short-sleeves tops. I threw away all the old ones from college. I didn't realize I only have 1 or 2. I was like... where's any nice tops with short-sleeves. I didn't like that. So, I went 5 different stores and I only buy 3 tops from 1 store out of 5. I didn't like others. Some are too "professional" for workwear and other is for Older people and other is for too BIG. Since I'm a mid-big (not too big and not thin, somewhat between) woman. It's hard to find something nice, simple, causual with style of clothes. I find it ironic I only like one store the best of all but I hated the limited of choices. I'm hoping to buy 2 more as in total of 5 tops then I'm satified to have something to wear when I'm not working. Also, something different... and not stuck on 3 same old "new" outfits.

So, I certain feel better of getting out of the house for a while. I did also bought cards and couple of gifts for Father's Day. It will be soon. Yeah, I'm a little early to buy them. But deep down, I knew I would be extremely busy once this coming Saturday starting. I may not have time to go out shopping. Hahaha, It's a good thing that I have already bought 3 more tops. I hope to buy more later. Maybe there will be more new clothes to come in next month or so.

Okay, enough with clothes....
**********************************************************************************
Reese, my sweet and smart female dog, I started to miss her. It's funny. I'm working more hours and now I missed her and I missed walking in the park with her, lately. Plus, my knee's pain is coming back, too. I need to convince them to cut down the hours so I can focus on my physical work-out. I will tell them I have to have special tools that helps my knee to back to normal with very little or no pain while I work. Mmmmmmm, We will wait and see about that. I will talk to my team leader tomorrow. I wonder who will that be. I hope I will get to talk to one of my "favorite" team leader. I do like that certain team leader better than others. If not, then I have no choice but to talk to one of them.

Overall, Reese is fine and mom's cat is fine. The family and I are okay.

By the way, I did have a dream to buy a land. I saw 7.1 acres to buy anything I like to use it. I called to find out how much is it cost for all together.... 1.2 million dollars. I was like "WHAT?!?" That's wayyyyyyyyy too expensive. Worth of lifetime to make that payment. I don't like it. No thanks I told the the agent. Geez, I'm trying to make my payment to student loan. Heck, seem like my money I owe a lot less than the land's cost.

Mmmm, I wonder how many more years until I finally paid off my student loan. I've calculated and it will be 5 years until it will be paid off. MAN! I can't wait. I vow myself never own student loan. No matter what! I will teach my kids to get scholorships and etc. Whatever it is to get to pay for free without debt during college life. I've learned my lesson. My parents and my family never went to college. So, I didn't have any advice about college life. In a way, I learned the hard way.

Animals

Yep, Animals are very interesting to watch and learn. Weither they are intellects or a mild idots. Hahaha. They are still interesting.

Actually, I'm working this weekend. I've been working every weekend since Jan and only one Sunday off and one weekend off. That's all I had.... Well, I suppose to work last week Saturday but I called in and said that I can't come. So techncally, I'm off one Saturday by my choice.

I'm planning on being call in and say that I'm going to be late this week or not to work on certain day. According to my schudlae I'll be working over 40 hours a week this week. I did told them 30 hours or less. Not over 30 hours. Like I said, they're not listening my preferences. Of course, they're losing me as an emoyplor, soon.... very soon. It's not worth it to waste my time on them, anymore.

*fingar crossing* I'm hoping to hear from other company next week.

P.S. Today, I was riding with my parents. I spotted a guy who wearing black slack and blue shirt with collar. I don't know about the shoes but I noticed the sign with red print said "I will work for money." He just stand there. I was like....Geez, do what I do. Go and find the sign said "now hiring" then applied for it. Since he has nice outfit, why don't he go and applied? He can't expect somebody come to him. He have to go and applied for it. Doesn't he know how?? Go to libaray, there's internet and start search for employment in the area like I did. I got a job.. of course, I didn't like it so I can always find another one. Just don't stand there grinning like an idot and expect somebody give you a job. You have to earn it by go out there.

This is sooo cute.

Deer and Rabbit

I don't know if that's real or not but I think it is so adorable!

Speaking of unexected friendship, I remember I saw on tv (again, I don't know if that's real but it sure looks real.) There's a raven with a kitten. They were walking side by side and playing with each other. Raven was feeding worms to a kitten. There's a couple concern about kittten may not have enough vitmins that he needed so they bought cat's canned food. Raven eats very little from it while the kitten eats most of it. It seems like the kitten was abonaded(sp) and Raven has motherly instinst to take over to take care of the kitten.

Speaking of Raven, I find them really amazing and that they seem very intellect(sp) on thier own. I watched Animal Planet channel mention about Ravens. There's a man who digged a hole in the ice lake. The ice is very thick. The man grab the long stick and put the fishing line tie in the middle of the stick then put the fishing line in the water and the stick is out on top of the hole of the ice. The stick is long enough to stay above and the ice hole is small. The man left for a while. Raven was watching the whole time. Raven figured it out and flew down and grab the stick to pull out. The raven use the claw to hold then use a break to pull the string. Then claw to hold then pull then hold .... repeat several times until Raven got the fish and left. The fisherman saw that and ran toward. Too bad for the fisherman.

So, they decided to do the experiment with Raven by raising human hands in the large cage. Where Raven can still roam free, the man did a different kind of puzzlement (game) for Raven and know that Raven have never done nor see anything like that before. However, it didn't take that long for Raven to figure it out and got himself a treat.

Raven knows as very micheavous, too. When Raven saw Hawk has caught a rabbit, Raven knew that he's in dangerous position because of Hawk's claws are very sharp. However, Raven also knew that Hawk is still busy holding rabbit. So, Raven just try to pluck the Hawk's tail several times by just to provoking Hawk. Finally, Hawk gave up and left. Raven eats the rabbit.

Raven also likes to interfere other animals such as there were two young bald eagles are doing their mating rutual. First, let me explain Eagle's mating. They will fly in the circle around then they catch each other claws as swirling around and around before hitting the ground then they seprate and do again. If the male wins their dance, that's when they mate. It is very dangerous position because one or both could hit the ground and hurt themselves. Of course, Raven loves to interfere so Raven did go and interprut them. Haha. It's so funny to watch.

It's really amazing about Ravens. I never knew that they could be that smart.

Well, enough for tonight....

P.S. I've already apply another job. *finger crossing* It closed at 8pm. Heck, better than 10pm.

Well, well, well....

"Guess what?!" I said to my mom, "I found out that there are two new members that working in the mornings and two new members are working in the evening." "Hump!" mom scarastic said, "That was very nice of them." I couldn't believe that they hired two new people for morning shift in my dept. WHAT about me?!! I want to work in the morning, not evening. How rude?!

I'm in pissing off mood since yesterday!

I vow myself not going to shop there in long, long, and long time.

Is this me?

Not!

Well, what I mean is that everytime I show up for appointment after phone calls, they always asked me if I have certain paperwork (or documation and etc). I ended up bring wrong documents or I didn't bring any since I didn't know what it was. Half the time, I don't remember being told to bring something. They always said that they told me on the phone that they have already informed me. I was like... "What?!" So, I ususally arrive empty-handed (or wrong one) and I have to go out and get all the documation that I need and make an appointment all over again. Man! What a waste of time?!

Lately, I start to pay attention through the phone. I realize that they were being in a vague and don't give a clear speaific. Like today, I did called Office of Disablity for requesting an interpreter this coming Fall. She asked me when did I resister. As, I already mention, this Fall of 2007. I have to repeat the same thing I said twice. She said that I need to bring document. I asked, please be more speaific. Her respond, "Just bring documents." I was like, Geeezzz. So, I asked this question, "Are you talking about an approval letter that I recieve from University that I got accepted this Fall?" She said, "No, A document of why I need interpreter." I was puzzle and my face expression was like, "huh?", she is really off the point. So I asked this way, "Are you talking about that I need audioloist paperwork to prove that I'm deaf?" She said, "yes, yes, that is the one."

THANK YOU!! I could have brought a wrong document by bring a letter to prove that I'm being accepted in the University. I've been many different office and sometimes I don't know which one they really wants.

I started to realize that they are really are in vague. I feel like I'm in Jack O'Neill's position from tv show Stargate SG:1. He being scarastic said, "Could you be more vague?!" All along, I thought it was me and I do feel stuid. Now, I realize, that wasn't true. They weren't being speaific. I have to asked... "Be more speaific, pls!" Geez Whiz. If that doesn't work then I have to ask questions so I know what I need to bring for them.

I'm so glad that I'm getting smarter... Or shall I say, increase my common sense??

Quit??

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.... I know. "To be or not to be, that's a question." Okay. This will be venting here...

*Warning* possible cussing or swearing or both.... Or not.. Maybe there will be...

Bleep here and Bleep there and Bleep everywhere... Or !#$$%

%^&^&*#! I really don't like my working hours! Urgh! Bleeep-Bleeep I request 30 hours and less. Next week, there will be more than 40 hours. #$!&* Plus, I did request at least a weekend off once a month. Nothing! I am about to quit, soon. I remind myself to be patience for one more month. I just needed more money so I able to buy clothes for this Fall for School.

I feel like I'm being used. That's how I feel. I feel like they are not respecting my request. I can't help but wondering if they are not going to respect if I'm working at threate for praticing the play. I will write down certain dates that I'm unavailable then if they still put me working on those days then I will said, "I can't. I already put down that I'm unavaiable and that I have a hobby to focus on and it is very important to me. I'm sorry that I will not going to show up. But like I said, I've already put down unavailable means I can't be there!!"

***********************************************************************************
Guess what? I fed up with working on weekeend, I called in sick and said that I can't make to work last Saturday. I went to Aquirumn(sp) where to see all those fishes, sharks, Mantees(sp), birds, crocodile, and etc. It was nice to relax and not show up at work on that day. It was worth it. I'm so glad that I did not show up at work. Since they don't respect me, Heck, I'm respecting myself by refusing to show up at work by calling-in sick.

I admit that I'm tempting to do that again...........

Mmmmm I wonder......

Anyway, everything else is good. I've painted my fingernails and toenails. Truth is, I thought I like the color shimmery mint green (very light green) but turn out I hate it. Haha. I already bought it and already painted it. What's the heck?! I decided to keep it anyway.

***************Reminding myself, be patience, be patience, be patience, one more month to go. One more Month to go. One more month to go*****************

Quote of the day: "Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. "~Helen Keller~

Oh!

Right, I almost forgotten. My play start July 13th to August 4th. I remember there was one day for interpreters to come for the play for Cinderella so, I'm pretty sure there will be for this one, too. I can't be certain. There will be Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and MONDAY.. Not Sunday.

I've been looking up the scirpt for "crones" I discovered that there are 3 different "crones" I can't help but wondering will there will be 2 more people to do the crones?? It is very short. I only found 2 different scene but I haven't finished read the rest so, I'm going to continue to find out about it. Plus, I will be there June 2nd for rehearsal to find out more about it, too.

**********************************************************************************

By the way, Michael Shanks had adding 3rd blog. Man! I liked him more as a person of Michael. He certainly very funny and highly sarcastic. Everytime I read his blog, he just made me laughed. This is going to be first and last time to see him... if he is able to come to convention. *finger crossing*

*********************************************************************************

Another, Oh! I almost forgotten. I have a good news. I finally recieve a letter from the University and I got accepted and now only thing I have to do is resister for classes for this Fall. Oh boy, I'm going to be extremely busy for this Summer. So much to do and so little time... Thank Goodness that LOST and Stargate are soon to be over since in next week will be Finale... and Stargate should be next 2 weeks. I think.

I can't wait. After that, I'm not going to watch tv this summer, just movies with family.

Just recieve email

Yeah, I sure did. Can you guess what part I got?



It's not Annie...



It's not Helen...



It's not Aunt....



It's not.....



Okay, enough with the tease. Hahaha.

Okay, here it is, 'Crones'....

What's HECK is that?? She siad that they are the voices in Annie's past which remind her of the pain and suffering that she has struggled through. The Crones are in several short...... she made that clear that it is very important scenes.

I admit that "crones" was kinda remind me of elderly lady????? Am I that old? Hahahaha

Anyway, it sound very much like "inner voice" I will be the "inner voice" to speak. That's weird. What's werid is that I have been listening to my own "inner voice" and now I'm being a part of the casting of "inner voice" Hahahahahaha. She did email me to email her to let her know that I accept (or decline).

I almost decided to decline but part of me is very curious and want to give a try. After all, it is a first try out for me and since she said it is very important role. So as the first timer, I get the important role. It may not be a "leading role" but an "important role....er, I mean scenes". Mmmm? So, I accept to be part of that role.....

It's still werid.... too werid... seems perfect match of my character of almost who I am. I knew I can be good at such thing like that... did she read me that good?? Hahaha

Okay, now that satified my curiousity for what part of role am I... This time I wasn't seem disappointed... Strange, I felt satified and accpeted that role.

***********************************************************************************
One more thing before I close this. Everybody, if you truly like based true story, if you like anything that's medical breakthrough.... You gotta see that movie, "Something the Lord Made" absouletely gooooooooooddddd movie. Oh, that will make you cry, too. Plus, made me think of things like that. Like I said... good movie! I did bought it at Wal-Mart few years ago. It's worth it to watch.

Here's another based true story of medical breakthrough, too. "Lorenzo's Oil" That is a good movie, I saw on TV. It is worth to watch, too.

Here's another one, "...First Do No Harm"
They're good movie and does make you think twice...

Different interpretation

Well, according to my mom said about the email that I recieve from the dirctor, the callback is usually means to come back and do the short skits again before making final decision. So, she doesn't need to callback but still considering to have me part of the casting. So that's what my mom's point of view.

Well, wait and see. I'm very much in anxious to know this Friday weather or not I made the casting. I look at the day by day. At first, it was Sunday, MAN! I can't wait until Monday. Now it's Monday, MAN, I can't wait until Friday. Now, it's Tuesday. Urgh... time seem sooo slow.

I can't wait!! I gotta have to know. I wanna know, now!

The real reason.....Truth is, I just don't want to have HIGH hope. That's all. I tried so hard to keep myself in a low expectation. So, knowing early as possible to make it easier without having feeling crushed. Ya know?

Okay, enough whine.

*********************************************************************************

Working and working as usual, today, one of my co-worker asked me if I'm going to work tomorrow (Wed). I said, "Yeah." She respond in relief, "good." I asked, "Why?" because last week almost no one show up at work on Wedensday. Poor girl have to put up a lot of work. Hahaha. I was requesting time-off last week so I can go to the audition. That's why, I wasn't there last week on Wed. Hahaha. Well, it sure nice to know that I was being appircate kind of way since I do work! *grin*

Anyway, as usual, I've been busy here and there. There's nothing new except waiting to hear the dirctor. *finger crossing*

My family and our pets are doing good. Oh, we did celebrating early birthday and Mother's day for my mom. She was so much surprised that she had another gift. She did kinda expecting one gift but she didn't expect there's another one. I bought one for mother's day and one for birthday. That's why. It's really simple and nice match earrings and necklace. They're sterling silver. It's not so expensive but still nice with color blue and dark brown (almost black). It's go well with my mom's outfit. We went out to have nice dinner, too. My mom got a free birthday cake... it's cheesecake. Yummy! We went to different resturant. Something that we haven't been there before. It's pretty good.

All in All, everythings are going good here.

Like his comments

Personal Developments (dealing with diffcult people)

I must agree about "Yes People". I have met quite a few. Funny thing is, I did asked a different question such as "What kind of suggestion do you have to improve on this or that?" Their usually respond, "I dunno" Sometime I do wonder, how in the world do they manage to live here on Earth for they can't think for themeselves? Unless, they have somebody tell them what to do. Ya know? I'm so curious to ask, "Suppose I ask you to jump over the bridge, would you do it?" Hahahaha

I still wonder about that. It is same for diffcult people who stick to their opionion who refuse to accept or learn other people's opinion.

***********************************************************************************
So, anything else is new? Nothing so far, execpt my dad and I were celebrating early birthday and Mother's day, today. My mom were very much surprised with the gifts that I gave to her. She loves it! It will go well with her outfit.

I even bought couple of nice comfortable pants that wear in the house. She likes them, too.

Anyway, We are doing fine.

One thing for certain, I can't wait to go back to school this Fall. I truly do. Oh, I did send application and offical transcirpt. I recieve an email said that they need my offical transcirpt and that they do not have it. And I can't go because they do not have it. GEEZ! Why do they make things so diffcult? I have already send everything on the lists that college require me to do. NEXT time, I'll give IN person... not thru the mail. To make sure everything is according to exact without changing the damn thing! I mailed on ONE letter of everything on the lists to make sure it is got together.

This Monday, I have to make several phone calls about it. What's next chaco? I wish I knew.

Anyway, I watch some movies such as Night at the Measuem(sp) where's all the dummy, wax-made came to alive and dinosaur bones came to alive, too. It's cute and funny. I also watch something "Music and Lyrics" Drew Berrymore and Huge Grant were in it. And....I try to remember what's other... Oh yes, "Catch and Release" is pretty good.

It is nothing speical nor capture my attention. They're cute and a little funny.

Meanwhile, I watch LOST... It was very good... Sometimes, I wish they do not dragging on and on. I won't be surprised that it can last up to 7 Seasons and right now I think it is Season 3 is playing. So far, it is good.

I continue to watch Without A Trace and StarGate SG:1. I'm starting to get bored with Stargate SG:1. Also, I admit that Stargate:Atlantis is getting more boring. After Stargate-SG:1 is over, I will not going to watch the Atlantis, anymore. I feel like Atlantis is dragging on, too but it is not enjoyable one as LOST. I rather LOST play on Friday night conflicts with Atlantis... Oh well, what can I say? I think it is best to close that tv shows afterall or find a better story, pls?! Yep, I never thought I would be so glad that the Stargate will be soon over. I still like Michael Shanks and I hope to continue to see him more.

Got email

Well, I got the email from the director. She said that she doesn't need me for callbacks this Saturday. In another word, I'm not going to play the main character such as Annie, the teacher (that's my educuation guess). However, she said that I showed excellent stage poise and communicated well to Helen and that she is still consider casting me. I will find out next week Friday weather or not I make the casting. This is my another edcuation guess that I might play as minor character or something.

That certain makes me feel a little bit better knowing that I did good and know that she is considering. I know it would be good idea to have a real deaf person to play deaf character. Annie is legally blind and she's hearing. Helen is deaf/blind; however, they are looking for younger age such as 10 years old. Truth is, I notice other did fanastic, too. I think they do have already more experiences with acting. That's why I didn't get the main character. They were really.... how to say this...INTO acting as more of professional kind of way.

I can't wait to hear from her next week. Maybe I'll get a casting part as in minor character. Wait and See. It is a good way to start, you know, as praticing. After all, I don't really have any acting expriences.

***********************************************************************************

Speaking of thunderstorm, I mention earlier. I forgotten to add that part. When the power went off, the next morning, my mom woke me up asking me for my cell phone because she want to know what time it is. I hate that rude awaking that she woke me up. She tap my shoulder real hard and fast. It hurts.

I got up and I explained to my mom that my cell phone's battery is low. I turned it on (I've turn it off the night before to save some battery juice). I told my mom, "It's 7 o'clock in the morning" I search for my watch and I found it then gave it to my mom, "Here mom! Have my watch and don't wake me up again." I turn off my cell phone. I went back to bed. I woke up around 12:30pm. It is usually my time to get up to get ready to go to work. Of course, I'm not going to work but I got up anyway. I took my dog to use restroom and bring her in. The house is sooo hot and still no power.

I approach to my mom that she's already in bed. This time, I'm waking her up. She asked, "Is the power back on?" I said, "no, it isn't."

My mom seems so frustrated and asked me to use my cell phone. I asked her what about yours? She said that she can't because the battery is dead. I hate the idea to use up my cell phone. However, my mom couldn't get thru to my dad so I emailed him thru my cell phone. I asked my mom, "What do you want me to type about?" My mom said, "Tell dad to call eletric power. Have him come home, now. We can't get out because of the gate (gate is run by elertic) so we are stuck here and can't go anywhere. The phoneline is dead."

I sent. My dad didn't respond and my cell phone is dead. My mom said that she can't get to plug in the adaptor in the car. So, I went out and plug it in. It wasn't that hard. Seems like my mom was too frustrated. I grab my mom's cell phone to plug in the car to re-charge. I was thinking, if we can't get out then how did dad get out?? Dad have to get out of the gate, too. So,... again, how did he managed to get out. I went over to the gate. I found out there's a firtlizer (dirt bag for garden) bag at the gate. I realize the gate does automatic open and stay open. All I have to do is remove the dirt bag out of the way and the gate will be open. I showed that to my mom. My mom was so thrilled and she said in axious kind of way, "I gotta have coffee!!" She sound so addictive. Hahaha.

She kept saying that she can't make coffee over and over. I can't use it because there's no power blah blah blah. Look like she's going to have nerves breakdown. I went in to get ready to go out. So is my mom. We have to take Reese with us. According to my mom said, "Look like somebody have nothing to do but to cut the grass." We can't open windows and doors... One mom's asthma and allergy. Two, Reese's allergy. And Three, my own allergy. Geez! So, we three had left home. Meanwhile, my mom is trying to figure out which restrurant we are going to since we do have McDonald in almost every coner so mom want to get were there's electric power is at. The whole time, I almost didn't say a word. We went to Drive- Thru MacDonald and my mom order coffee and OJ for me. We sat and wait because the coffee have to brew it up. I think that's whatchamaccallit. Finally, we went to another sandwich shop where there's drive-thru, too. We order what we liked and came home. My mom is very much satified with her coffee.

Oh yeah, we did contact my dad thru mom's cell phone. Everythings going fine and smooth, now. According to dad, the elertic power is working on it and should be back about 4pm and turn out it did.

Finally, I took my nap...about 2 hours. I feel a whole lot better too. My eyes were kinda heavy.

Speaking of heavy eyes, I'm getting sleepy.

Thunderstorm!

Wow, we sure did had a baaaddddd one this week. Last Monday night, I was just going to bed. I saw so many light flashes outside had just started. Wow, so many at once... I went off to getting ready, suddenly the power went off in the middle of changing my clothes. Imagine that. I'm half naked and trying to find flash light but instead, I remember were I put my lighter that I do like to light the candle once in a while during reading my book. It feels home-y and cozy. I like it. Anyway, I light up several candles so I can see where and what am I doing. Hahaha.

Sadly, my cell phone went down to 2 bars of battery jucie left. I can't re-charge it. I turn it off to save some. Sometimes, the eletric managed to come back soon. However, not this time, the light outside constanstly flashing thru the window. I find it so annoying. I couldn't go to sleep. That was really bad one. I can hear thunder without my hearing aids. Yeah, I'm deaf but I sure can hear thunder. No matter how much I try to go to sleep but the flashes outside kept me awake. Instead, I light up the candle again. I start to read a book. It is nothing fancy. I read relate about fincially (sp). I want to understand more about money.

I was surprised by the fact the thunderstorm take a little longer than expected and the electric power haven't came back. I knew I have no choice but let my Reese out. I usally put her in the dad's office. Where she doesn't wake me up late at night that she tend to sneak to get on my bed. Because I knew she would be too hot for her closed up in the office.

Here's the funny part, Reese follows me to the kicthen as I was fixing myself a cold sugar-free chocolate milk from the skim milk. I was cravy for something chocolate and yet I want something cold and liquad so that's how I make myself for that. Reese was right behind me as I was busy making it. It was just in time there's a loud "BOOM!" as I mention before without my hearing aids. Reese and I jumped at the same time. I just laughed. The fact that she and I were startled. Afterward, I talked to her something like this, "Well, Reese thunderstorm didn't scare us but they sure know to sneak up to startle us, huh, girl?" The whole time, she tilted her head and listen.

I went back to bed. I drank cold chocolate milk while read another chapter. Finally, my tiredness and sleepiness are starting to catch up with me. I managed to fall asleep without having light flashes waking me up through the window.

Oh, we will have bad thunderstorm this week. However, it should clear up this weekend. Of course, how typical that I will be at work. Wink.

Ooooohhhh, here's the ironic, I asked for less than 30 hours so that way I can have at least 3 to 4 days off. GGGggggrrrrrrr, not going to happen. WHY? Well, instead of working 2pm to midnight, I will be start working at 5pm to midnight. I was like... WHAT!!! That means I'm working everyday but not on Thursday and Friday. Oh great... Just great! Yeah, obvious I'm complaining here. Whatever, I do not have the bracelet, yet. So, I'm complaining until I get it. hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahhaahahahahaha

Geez, Who cares.

************************************************************************************
Okay, enough complain...(at least it's a short one.)

Oh, I signed up Deaf newsletter, I'm pretty sure I've already mention before. I recieve that there's a play for "The Miracle Worker" which know as "Helen Keller". So, I thought to myself, why don't I try out for the auduction(sp). Guess What? I showed up. I found out there are ....."ahem" ALL hearies.... I was thinking why on earth did the Deaf Newsletter send and mention about that and I thought there will be ..... you know... Deaf people there....

Well, funny thing is that, I went ahead did my part and see what happen this Saturday. I admit that I'm curious if I made it or not. There's also part of me doubt it because I saw some women are very "highly completive". I can see that they do have alot of experiences. I did asked to make sure before I arrive is that it is "amtuetur(sp)" means no paying act. In another word, you will be willing to do that for free. Plus, I saw many children there... again all are hearies, too. Some are quite good. I thought that was very interesting to watch everybody to do their parts. It was a good experience. It was something different. Oh, all knows...... ABC ... they do not know sign language. Hahahaha. I was thinking...now that's funny. I'm the "only" Deaf there who actually knows sign language.

The director who will decided to pick to involve the play. As I mention before, I will find out Saturday morning. That's 2 days to go. She's really nice and sweet. I like her. But I know that she will make the right decision and I don't think she will pick favorism but then again I could be wrong. Who knows. We are humans.

************************************************************************************

Oh, I almost forgotten, since I'm working this weekend and next week. My dad and I are planning on to have a early birthday and Mother's Day gift this Friday.

Hee hee, I know my dad tend to wait to last minutes even means wait until Friday and get what we need then come home and celebrate. However, not this time, I was very lucky that I'm free this week so I contact my dad to meet me at Wal-Mart. So, he did. I told my mom that I would like to go by myself for a little while. So, I went to meet him. We came in and start shop for her. My dad bought a little longer gold chain since mom's broke one and it is too short. I gave my mom emerald, her birthstone, heart necklace few years ago.

My mom also told me that she would like to have that certain earring but I saw necklace to match with so I decided to buy both as one for birthday and another one for mother's day. I know my mom would be sooo surprised! Hahahahahaha.

My plan this friday would be one to take out for earring with the cards of Mother's day card. Then dad will do his part. Afterward, I would go and grab the shoe box. I have 2 very comfortable thin pants for indoor only and hide on birthday gift of necklace with the birthday card. I can't wait to give those to her this Friday.

Michael's blog

Squeeeeeel, Yeah, I know. My favorite actor... He wrote a blog. He sounds so much like him. I can't wait and look forward to hear him more from his word to the blog. Since he recieve so many visitation under that website, they have to move him under "celebrity". Heehee. I read somewhere which is true, not only he can act but he can write so well. After all, his English is 2nd language.

I can't wait... I know I'm saying this again... I can't wait to see him writing more blogs for me (and other fans) to read. *Grin from ear to ear*

My days off...

During off-days, I really enjoy doing many things or just lazy around.

Meanwhile, I finally went to see the doctor that I've been postponing. Like I mention before, one thing leads to another. Today, I told the doctor about the medication doesn't help to make the numb goes away. The doctor said that if the medication doesn't help then it is possible the "nerve" and will send me to "nerve speacalist" which is Neurology. Well, the doctor gave me an appointment on the same day on my mom's b-day.

One more thing... EARLY in the morning... OY! The appointment is 9:15am but I have to be there by 8:45am. Oh boy! Something I'm not looking forward to... Too early! Again. Haha. One for my knee for MRI and now.... for my numbing toe.

After my medication, I do get a strange burning feeling in my toe. I feel like my toe is in the "hot" sands. It only happens at night. Yes, especially before I go to bed. Now that's werid. Too werid.

************************************************************************

Oh, since I finally have my full weekend off last weekend. I went to the park down about 2 hours drive to the South. I haven't delevop the pix but I hope soon.

Here's the fascnation part, I see a real live footprints that were from Dinosaurs. Yep, I sure did. I saw Brachiosaurus's footprints. It looks so much like an elephant's footprint. Only differnt is that it is slightly bigger and deeper. It's almost perfect round, too.

There's another footprints. It is different name. The picture shows looks so much like the raptor but it's not because of the name. I think, this is the one, Thecodontosaurus.(Nope, I was wrong. According what it said, it has 5 toes. It has 3 toes. I know it didn't say raptor at the end of the word. However, I remember it does start with letter "T". I couldn't find it) It is the meat-eater. I saw the footprints. I was thinking to myself, what would it be like face-to-face something like that. If I ever did, I proably be eaten alive. Hahaha What I'm trying to say is try to picture the height and about me actually standing in front and wondering how dangerous that can be facing a real live one like what ya see at "Juarrsic Park" movie.

It is truly amazing! Worth the trip!

There's a lot more. We went to the wildlife center where's most animals are around roaming free. And we were exploring. That was the first trip then check out the dino's footprints. So, we didn't really have time to check the rest. It was getting late and we were hungry. I hope that we have a chance to go again one day.

Compliant Free

I watch Oprah other day. I saw the man talk about complaining this and that. I thought it was very interesting. I do admit that I do complain. I do hear other people complain, too. Sometimes, I do find annoying when a person who constantly complaining. It's like all my energy draining me out. I don't like that at all. I wonder what if I sign up for it to get that bracelet??

(Mind you, I'm not christian but I don't mind spread the words about the "Comeplaint-Free" )

**********copy and Paste**********
"For the purposes of being "Complaint Free" complaints you think but don't express don't count against your completing the 21-day challenge.

Think all the complaints you want, you don't need to move your bracelet. Here's why:

thoughts create our world and our words indicate our thoughts. As you stop complaining, you give your complaining thoughts no place to go and so your mind begins to produce fewer and fewer negative thoughts.

Because of our social environment, your mind is like a company that produces negative thoughts. When a company's (your brain) only customer (your mouth) stops buying a product (complaints), the factory shuts down. So, by not expressing complaints you return to being a positive person. In nature, there is a species of fish known as the Blind Cave Fish. Scientists believe these fish were once sighted but became trapped in caves. Over generations of living in total darkness, the fish stopped being born with eyes because there was nothing to see.

Just as this fish's body stopped producing eyes when it had nothing to see, your mind will stop producing unhappy thoughts when you stop complaining. Your negative thoughts will disappear like the eyes of the blind cave fish." Copy and paste from this website Complaint-free.



Interesting.... I'm tempting to give a few people I know who does complain more than I do. Yes, I even watch Oprah and this guy said that you can't tell to that person that he/she is complaining. Oprah asked why. Because, You will be complaining, too. That person have to do that to find out themselves of what they are doing.
