Chinese New Year!



Since I was a child, I have always loved to watch the Lion Dance. I even enjoyed that more than I do the Dragon Dance! I believe that the Lion Dance has more tradition in its meaning. When I used to go to Chinatown as a kid, I even wanted to learn how to do it, but being a girl, well,,, yea... that had a lot to do with not being able to learn that dance. Even playing the drums along side of the Lion would have been nice! :))

PEACE!

Smoke In The Water



Well tonight I am in the mood for some MUSIC!!! yepp... I love Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson and Steve Vai. (G3) I do listen alot to Rock N Roll more so than I listen to country or easy listening music. Rock n Roll actually puts my mind in a state of concentration. I know that sounds weird, but it is so true. This Song actually, I am playing also on Guitar Hero1 Smoke in the Water is one of your classic rock songs I think. Deep Purple, of course, does it well!

PEACE!
OOOps, my error.. this video has steve pertucci in it! Still Awesome tho.. In my favs!

Music, and What ???

Well, what is going on ?? I was trying to hyper link this.. and, uh... it never does let me link things on here.. I wonder if I am doing something wrong... HMMM....

Yepp, I have decided to take some Guitar Lessons, on line! Yea, I think that I want to learn now to play, or at least get the idea of it. As much as I love music, I think I ought to be able to... be creative if that is what I decide. Right now I am not feeling like me.
I mean, it is me... but there seems that alot has just kind off put to the side, and things are just now starting to hit me. Weird, huh?

Anyways, I got lost in this fair town. I knew that when I first drove into this town that I would not like it. I surely have given it a go, tho! I remember wayyy, long ago when we were on our way back into San Francisco from one of those family vacations to Disneyland, and we were to stop here in San Jose, I think one of my Dad's cousins or something like that .. and we got lost! :( LOL, maybe I knew then, that this would be the town that I would feel lost in! I have just lived here for over a year... and 3 months... and I am ready to say good bye to it. I do not know what it is that I do not like about this town...
I know at this time, I need to figure out just exactly what it is that I need to do, and that is in reference to my personal self.

You know, you would never think that, at the age that I am at, things like this should not be happening. I feel like I am going through the change of life or something. I mean, I thought I went through this when I was like 35 or something like that. Isn't that what you call a mid life crisis? Do they even call it that anymore?
Could it be that I ought to be very thankful of the things that I do have, and that would be my health at the moment! I found out this past week, that , Yes, I do rememeber when my younger brother was hospitalized for his seizures! And it is having its ill effects on him still. Yes, He is on a medical suspension from driving! I just found that one out. I did not know that his blood pressure had been a pain in the butt for all this time.

And I found out that my sister was just hospitalized for a faulty valve in her heart, Yes, I found out that she had a cardio serg... replacing that bad valve. I thought that since I have been the one taking all the meds that I do take, that I was the one that got blessed with the ailments of the family! Aparently not! I have been the one that has been least bothered by it. I have been able to control these diseases with the meds. It has hit my siblings like a mighty blast that it turned into life and death situations. I have to be more weary and make sure that I do take care of myself. But at the same time, I cannot depress myself to think that I should not be the one that was blessed with not having to face the cruelness of the illness.

There has been alot going on in my life, and those of you that know me, know that I have pretty much have kept it together. So, is it time for me to break down.. I only mean that more on the emotional side. Alot going on and alot on my plate, STILL..when does it subside?

PEACE!

Rain, Meeting, Family

Well yesterday I went to the city to meet with my family. They were ready for all the paperwork that needed to get sorted out!UH.... I think Dad has, st least come out of the shock... He was asking for the Pictures, and that the mail should go to the house now!

I told him that I had it, and that the mail is coming to the house. I will make sure that Dad will get all the mail... and I will have to go to the banks, now and close out the accounts.. and yes, it has been 41 days. Before going there, I was really uptight! I caught myself yelling at the kids.. Not good!....Oh my, I got home about 11 last night and decided to play some GUITAR HERO II... and i beat out the medium level.. now I have to go on with the Hard Level.

I know that I have things to take care, but it is just rainy and yukky out.. So.. Here I am...LOL To top it off, my horoscope told me that it would be a day like this, and that I should take responsiblity....Ha Ha Ha... Now you know how serious I take the horoscopes!

Checking Out the Pics

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I wanted to share with you some pictures out of the Photo Album that was at my brother's apartment. Wow, these pictures really bring back some times,,, Well, in actuality, I was not even thought about when these pictures were taken. These are pictures of my Mom and Dad on their wedding day! I am glad that I am finally able to scan and upload them. Yes, today, the court thing.. Well, can you believe that the County CourtHouse has our file misplaced! How about that one ?

Their attorney did not tell us tho, until the end. I was wondering why we had to postpone our case until next week. Hmmmm, anyways, and she said to us that he (frank) will not be able to make it next week.. so....

Does that mean another week?? She was telling us that the Orignal Judge is on vacaton and that she will be back tomorrow. She also told us the the clerks were looking for our file for the past two days. I wonder what is going on with that ?? I asked that attorney if he could just outright do what he is doing, and she said Yes, its usually the people that have "REAL" property that has the most say. She said in the beginning that this case looks alot like... a case of bad situation. I keep thinking that because of the new law that went into effect about giving 60 day notice, and to think that he thought he was going to make it a fast thing to happen!

Oh well, so on to the bulk of the afternoon, I have been scanning pictures and try to preserve them the best I know how. Anybody have heard of PhotoMax ? Hmmm, I was given an opportunity, so to speak.. to get in on it ?

PEACE!

Bandidas!!

Wow, has it been so long since I have watched a movie?? It was nice to just chill and not think of things that I needed to look up on this computer, and used it to watch a movie. I have always been one to enjoy Westerns... and I picked out the movie 'Bandidas' with Salma Hayek, and Penelope Cruz.

It was an excellent choice. Something that has a plot, some humor, and some sensitivity. I love stories that have happy endings. It also had the 'Thelma & Louise' kind of comrade re for the two. Its good to know that you can create a 'friendship' or a 'partnership' that can mean so much, when you are fighting for the same thing. I enjoyed it, the only thing that was missing was the popcorn! (But I had some earlier in the evening)

Something that was light and yet serious, is what I needed this evening. Awesome movie! I would recommend it with 5 stars *****!!! I loved the scenery too, the mountains, the rivers, sooo soooothing! I often thought that I was born in the wrong era. I should have been a cowgirl ;)

PEACE!

What was I thinking?

Well, the weekend is over, and some good and positive things can be happening. I have a friend that has a friend, that is looking for a room mate. YEAAAAAAA, so a move to the next town is looking pretty good right now. What a great idea!!

I was in chat with a friend this evening, and he actually told me what I was going through. Whoa.... how did he know that? He said because he knows that feeling. I am really surprised that what he said made me think about alot of things. My eyes are so heavy right now, I could just go sleep.Wll update tomorrow... So much going through my mind, I will let it squirt!

PE@CE!

Well...Things are as well as can be

Hey, hey

Well, we went and consulted with an attorney, things are more definate now. He also referred me to an attorney that also handles 'Labor Laws'. As to why this is all happening at such an inopportune time, I am still yet to figure this out. I am hoping that everything else that we have on the agenda will go smoothly.

Oh yes, my brother called, and asked if next Thursday would be okay to have that meeting, then all of the paperwork needs to be taken care of for the insurance. And we well also get a copy of the death certificate so that I can go over to the Oakland post office and pick up the mail that is there.

Man, I have been trying to call the EDD so that I can give them the phone number to the cell, so that I can do the interview in case we are just waiting at the courthouse to wait to talk to the judge. I sometimes think that that there is a real reason for all ths to be happening, and I am still waiting to see what the reason is. I know that it will not just jump out at me! Anyway, I have been looking for work.. and I also have been trying to make money online as well. I can see though that there is not enough time in the day to really do both.

I have also been looking into some insurance, I know that things will be ok, in that area. Oh yea, there are steps that have to be made as well, so that I can go and get my California DL.

I also see that there has to be more stability with all this before I can go on the next step. I am not sure if I really want to work for any corporations anymore. I do not know. I feel that it is time for me to take a hold of things and maybe this is the right time in my life to take care of the things that are important in my life. Anyhow, I have to get some things ready for the move that we have to make.

Back at ya!
