Returning to work to witness the economy crisis of fellow co-workers.

So, Im kinda sad to see that at the end of this week, the first week back to work. At the same time, Im happy to be back at my prime work place. But still a little sad to have left behind the job at Pepperdine & Britney and all those interesting characters. What Im surprised is that Mar is still at work. Why doesnt she move on and use her knowledge somewhere more benificial. In a way, I understand, the way the economy is at the moment, quitting a your current job for a higher paying when is a big risk. In this job, at least we all have some type of tenure. A new job, usually the new workers are the ones to be laid off, giving privilage to the ones with tenure. But it seems that Ida Cheang, Christina Navarro have been laid off. What they both have in common is that they are the newest teachers to the staff. Before leaving Magnolia last summer, a lot of the veteran teachers had to retire. A lot of the veteran teachers left us. Between them is my favorite teachers, Ms Jan Wright, Ms Matayoshi, Mom Ferre (I forget her first name, I lovingly call her Mama Ferre) and probably Mrs Yoshimi. I thought with them "retiring" the younger teachers would have a chance to stay. But either way, Im sad to see those experieced teachers go away. Especially Mama Ferre and Ms Jan Wright. They considerably bought their expertise and experience to the group. But seems it did not save the new teachers being laid off anyhow. I knew that something like this was going to happen to me if I stayed at Pepperdine. Im just waiting for Britney to keep me on the details of who gets laid off. Anyway, the commute to Pepperdine was a hassle. We are at a time that no one is 100% safe from being laid off. A veteran teacher, veteran worker, a good teacher, a person with a bachelor's or Master's degree. The only advice I have to all is to think twice before quitting a job. Whats the point in getting a new job, that pays considerably more, if your going to be laid off because your the new "scapegoat". "We need to cut costs..." "Our company cant afford..." It has not happened to me directly, but it really hits me close. I just wish all of those people who are not with us anymore, the best of luck in finding a new job, and that the employers dont lay them off because of being the new ones. Ciao.

Mari-Jew-Wanna. Dont do drugs kids!!!

Technohead – I Want To Be A Hippy – Video & free listening at Last.fm: "Added by hauptgersi"



Oh, this songs brings back memories from UCSC. I remembered my room mates playing this song over and over. When the annual, 420 was approaching, they had this song playing in Santa Cruz fields. Kinda catchy song. But I was caution kids to not read much into the message.

Arrgh, the pirate, he is after my booty!!!

The song is called Mango. From a site called Weebls-Stuff.com

God is with me, not against me

Earlier today, I met a person named Jessica. I noticed that her left arm had a bunch of writing. For a while, I thought it was a peculiar tattoo. Jessica explained to me that she writes stuff on her arms as reminders.

"Oh, I do that too." "Like, buy milk, study, Room M77, Test on Chapters 5 to 7 & etc"

But, just to cut to the chase, when she said, "God is with me, not against me", Im not sure what happened to me, but I started to think critically about that quote.

"God is with me, not against me"? I usually think that Im fighting against evil, and all other guff from the world. I just to go against unfairness, cruely, injustice that people suffer everyday. But "God is with me"? I never actually seen it that way a 100%. I tend not to rely on other people when it comes to handle everyday problems. But do I sound evil, of not thinking in this type of way, according to the quote. Never thougt of it that way, ... does that make me a "bad Christian", and I mean the faith, not my name. Hmm. Im wonderig where Jessica got that quote. Did she made it up? Got it from a song? The Bible? Just pondering. Meeting Jessica today made me think more upon life and the challenges that await in our future. If I see Jessica again, Ill ask her the source of that quote. Very nice quote. Nice and simple and straigth to the point. Jessica looks awfully familiar. Not sure why. She does kinda remind me of Kiko, but Kiko has been missing in action lately. No one knows what happened to her. Kiko just stop showing around, around the time of the death of Michael Jackson. Is she mourning? Who knows.

So back to the quote. I talked with some close friends via cellphone. Mostly I get the feedback that God or destiny or whatever you want to call what happens, has a funny way to put people, places, events in your way, for you to learn and to be guided in the right direction. For me, it does change a bit of my way of thinking. That I have to manage, and like I always say, "To protect and to maintain, ones own Chivalry way."

Emergency Update.

No one was monitoring the Battle Archives, Tactic Archives, & Project Gilgamesh, and similar projects. Failed Experiment of 2008 have been archiving from different sources but not orderly. Battle Archives 2 will remain on course. While original BA will have to wait. TA is funtioning at peak performance. Due to small numbers of readers on myspace, not a significant different. Someone has to see how to deal with newcomers. Michael Jackson was a great distraction to throw readers off. Melissa will take over myspace traffic. Either that, or following; John, Allison are good canditates but Melissa has more experience in this field. Need opinions on who will replace Chris, and if Melissa is good canditate. Updates are being not set by correct date.

The death of comedian's buttjoke of a child molestor. (Michael Jackson)

Growing up, Michael Jackson was always used by the media, comedians and etc as a joke. Especially about him and little boys in that Never land ranch area. If you go onto YouTube or whatnot, you ll find a bunch of comedy sketches making fun of his alleged molestation. Just type in the search box; Michael Jackson, MadTV, SNL, funny, molestation,In living Color, comedy and the like. So, growing up, who hasn't heard of the allegations of him going Wacko Jacko on little boys.

Earlier today, I got the news that the king of pop, Michael Jackson passed away. Details are not so clear on his death. Just that he just had a cardiac arrest, and just kicked the bucket here in the UCLA medical plaza. I'm getting news that traffic is crazy near UCLA. Here at SMC, everything seems normal. I think because we are in Summer session, not much student body is present. Wow. Just weird. My concern at the moment is SYMPATHY SUICIDES. This term is applied to people who commit suicide in response to a certain event, like Elvis's death. So I imagine that might follow. I'm trying to remember all my friends music taste, but none of us are very hardcore into Michael Jackson music. I'm betting some phonies would start buying his Cd's, and others will try to make a profit of his death. If there is a public ceremony, some will try to leech to his fame and blab about how they knew him, and just want some camera time. Where were those people, when he was in the middle of his accusations? They ran away from him, "cant be next to a child molestor." That bothers me, how "friends" come and go depending on your citation. Im very sure I first heard about his passing while in the campus of SMC. Right now, my classes are over for the day, and have a break before heading off to work. Wait. I got a call and text about now, and telling me to not come in. Traffic is crazy. Is that whatever happens to UCLA area, affects to a certain point the Pepperdine campus in Malibu, my current "Summer Job". My plan today is to stay late until library closes, and go home at around 9PM. Hoping by that time, the traffic and craziness between SMC and my home calms down. Might as well study. Ciao.

Helen Keller has a Twitter? Go figure.(Video)

I had no idea that I had a fellow Twitter with Helen Keller? I wonder what she is up to?



I know its May, but Im already planning what to do for my Summer 2009. Hmm what to do? Probably Ill follow Helen Keller on Twitter. Kidding. Study for you finals people. Ciao!

So I just left the car at the OEM Volkswagen mechanics. Im hoping they do a good job at bringing the car up to 100%. Coincidently, today is the last day of April. So bus pass expires today. I think. So far, Twitter has really been a helpful tool. Very convenient. So 4 or 5 weeks to go, for the end of Spring 2009. Mostly my concern is the results on test #2 at SMC. Hopefully it went well. Im wondering what phone is best to do mobile blogging & the like.

A proud Alaskan Terrier owner, me.

I remember using this character a lot while playing a series of games called Samurai Showdown. He is one of my favorites besides Hanzo. This particular character's name is Galford. Growing up, Ive always had an admiration for wolves. Well, legally you cant own one. Duh. But, anyway, a friend sent me this pic, since I care for 2 Alaskan Terriers. One of them is name Silver Fang.



My other dog is named Sabre Wolf. I had since pups. But you know that already. But this pics reminds me of how I was a kid, and hope for one day to at least have one a a faithful pet. Both of them have basic attack dog training. Problem is, since I work and go to college, we dont hang that much together. But when I get a free time, or hear of a canine event, I prepare the SportWagen and drive off to ... whatever. Just kinda hard for me to see myself again as a kid. And wishing to have at least one. I just tend to be careful to show them off to people, especially girls Im seeing. They kinda get protective and jeaulous. Like if they are trying to protect me from harm, or just dont want a person to take me away from having quality time with them. Pssh!

Guys,( both of them are males) I dont give you guff when the neighborhood b*tches (even though, this is the correct word for female dogs, I dont see the necessity of "swearing") come home and you have fun. My friend that gave this pic, she mentioned to me that she knows a person who has 3 pups for adoption. The names are Neron, Hitler and Stalin. I kinda see the theme of the dogs names. My neighbor's dogs are named Killer, Sharky, and Mauler. Its a dog world. Anyway, what is your favorite type of dog readers? Those your favorite type, represent your personality and character? Ciao.

Ok, Im here along with one of my sisters. Commander Bunny. Had an ok meal. I have a headache for some reason. Pictures are not working. Why? This sucks.
