Babies, babies, babies.

I swear that women are popping out babies everywhere. At the office, the women who has given birth a year and a half ago are planning for their next baby but they have sex prefference. Then this Chinese Lunar Calendar for Woman's Conceiving age came up and it shows what month and age the mother needs to be in order to concieve with the specific sex of the baby would be if read correctly. Like I said it has to be the month the baby is to be conceived and not the month when they are to be born. Well here is the link and please tell me if it is true to you too. It is pretty accurate with my sister's babies.

Woman's Conceiving Age

The Heron

I visit my sister's house every now and then. They have a Koi pond so I bought a couple of new fishes for them. Well my dad said that there was this huge bird and ate 3 of the huge koi in the pond. I was so shocked cause my sister's house is no where near any beach. Well we tried everything and nothing worked to keep the bird away. It would come back and eat more. Finally we bought a tent and placed it over the pond, then tied fish lines everywhere. Ha ha ha ha the bird got caught and then flew away. Our fishes are safe for now but we still see the bird sitting on the fence watching, more like thinking on how he can get the fishes.

An apple with a worm

I needed something to snack on since I am about to fall out of my chair here at work. Then I remembered that I brought an apple from home where I bought it from a major grocery store. I started biting into it when I thought to myself that it was to big and I need to cut it up. Actually I had a couple of bites already by the time I cut the apple in the middle. Like I said I was sleepy and needed to munch on something so I bit a couple of times while walking to go to the break room. Then a worm was sleeping inside the apple right on the core. I almost threw up and then I thought that some countries eat worms, right? Convincing myself that I should not throw up and just throw it away was way too hard. Lesson learned: Just because the apple is bright and shiny does not mean its all good inside. Key point - always cut fruits in the middle to save yourself with the horrific experience of seeing a worm or a bug sleeping or waving right at you.

Happy Mother's Day!

Everybody have different experiences with their mothers. I cannot speak for everybody but I truly am thankful to my Mom for everything. Everyone knows that it is not the easiest job in the world but many dreams to be one. Through all the child birth, cooking, laundry, games, recitals and other family events it is only fair to have a day dedicated to you.

I would like to greet everybody a Happy Mother's Day, totally hands down to my Mom and to my Sister. I have the pleasure of knowing 2 of the strongest mothers. My mom for putting up with all my antics and understanding what I have been through. To my sister who has been there for me in the hardest time and giving me the support that I needed. I am sure that Kaitlyn, Hannah, Joe and my Dad are very thankful that you guys are a part of their lives.

I was very touched by duke's entry, My Mom My Hero. Frankly I am guilty with not showing much of my appreciation to my family. It is not because I do not want to but it is because no words, gifts or actions that I could share with them will show how much they mean to me.

OUTSOURCING

It is hard to say if outsourcing work to other countries is an advantage or disadvantage. Today we found out that our company has outsourced our data entry to the Philippines. At one point it will sure benefit them over there since job is scarce but yet around 1000 employees over here are loosing their jobs. Reality hits a lot of people here especially those who were not able to go to college. Our company has a lot of employees who started doing data entry and has earned the seniority. They know that they would not get the same wage as they are getting now anywhere else. On the other hand there are more unfortunate people in the Philippines that needs a paying job. If you think about it, the winner is the company since they are paying cheaper wage for the same amount of work being done. Being a filipino and working with people that are going to get laid off it is kind of hard to explain what I feel right now. Well what do you think?

What does "Asian" mean to you?

Jeff Yang is asking help on answering this question. There are more information about him in Angry Asian Man. Since it is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, which I never heard of it before and shame on me I say. Well to make up for my faults I would like to help out in asking people if you could lend Jeff a hand and give him your thoughts about this question. Here is the full blog article where you will find series of questions that you could answer and his contact information to email your comments and suggestions.

Okay I have been out of the single's life for quite some time and I think I am ready to hop back in. But where the **** do I start. Is it really true that the generation of single people now a days are one of the most vain and so into what do you have to offer me(materialistically) type of people? Well if that is the case then I would rather hop back out. Though I am not that old yet I find it hard to just start dating. I feel like I am so stuck in the nineties for this type of crap. I have been watching all sorts of love story kind of movies and oh how I wish it was that easy. I am starting to think that I am a hopeless case. There are so many single girls out there who are sexy and has a lot to offer. Competing with them would be like suicide. But yet no one ever did say looking for a partner would be easy. Well, well I should not wave my white flag just quite yet without even putting some kind of effort... Or maybe I should.

What are men good for? Besides the fact that they carry the heavy stuff and do the manly chores. What do they have to offer me that I cannot do myself? Maye I should leave this question in the air since I cannot answer them. Oh yeah if you guys are thinking about the baby thing - well adoption is an absolute option.

I dont know about you guys but sounds like the party is at Mexico! Lets go and PARTY!!!! Mexico to Allow Use of Drugs

I have read this interesting post from my 43things I got to do. It is so funny that I actually said a couple of these lines myself.

The sooner I fall behind, the more time I have to catch up.

Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday

If it weren’t for the last minute, I wouldn’t get anything done.

Anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn’t the work he is supposed to be doing at that moment.

One of the greatest labour-saving inventions of today is tomorrow.

Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

I’m going to stop putting things off, starting tomorrow!

Procrastination is like a credit card: it’s a lot of fun until you get the bill.

Procrastination is similar experience to masturbation, it feels good while you’re doing it, but it sucks afterwards when you realize that you just screwed yourself.

The Procrastinator’s Creed:
1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.
3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.
5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitely small, is not exactly zero.
8. If at first I don’t succeed, there is always next year.
9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.
11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.
12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.
13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
14. I will become a member of the ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinator’s Society) if they ever get it organized.
