just got back from the gym. i unleashed all my pent up frustration into the ballys gym in rosemead! i felt sorry for the people around me who had to endure my aura of unleashment. it was explosive! i feel much better now. i purchased some gloves at bally's today. $9.99. now i have a pair of gloves for each car. hellz yayuh, i can never forget them now. callouses go away!

i took chi-chan to the vet on westwood today and they charged us $170 for x-ray and anesthetics. the vet didn't even re-cast her leg. he just added a little bandage at the top. but it's all good, it's for chi-chan. i'll do anything for her. the asian girl who works at the vet is really cute. i wonder what nationality she is. i was tempted to ask her but it was awkward so i did not execute my plan. after the vet, i bought some frontline flea killer at petco on wilshire. it supposedly kills all fleas and ticks in a few days. it cost a whopping $70!

i bought myself some airborne cold prevention tablets, $7.99. also, some lactobacillus acidophilus, the good type of bacteria found in yogurt, supposedly excellent for the intestines. 2 for 1 deal, $5.99. i bought these at the CVS right next to the vet on Westwood. dude, i spent so much money today. lol wth am i doing. it's okay it's for my health & for chi-chan it was well worth it.

it's funny, yesterday i downloaded an e-audiobook from santa monica public library about how to become an automatic millionaire. it's basic teaching is to cut down on miscellaneous, unnecessary spendings and save that cash in an account that pays interest. i was all hyped up to stop spending and start saving! today i failed. i'll start tomorrow.

Overall condition of my life is improving once again. Finally!!!

Shoulder pain, canker sores, toothache, penicillin, stomach pains finally coming to an end. That streak lasted 1 month and a half. It hit bottom with Chi-chan breaking her leg.

All these negative things happening to me straight, one after the other couldn't have been just coincidence. So it got me thinking. I came to the conclusion that I was pulling these negative things into my life by treating others recklessly. I was creating unnecessary tensions here and there w/ random people in real life and on the internet. No more senseless emotional/spiritual battles. No more subconscious games that bring no benefit to either party. I really believe that when I start shit with someone and they hold negative thoughts and intentions against me, these energies add up and manifest in physical form in real life. I can really get sick if I have a couple of people hating me subconsciously. And if I return the same energy, we only drain each other of vital energy that can be used for some other purpose with actual healthy gains.

So from now on, if the battle has no worthwhile profit for me, I'll just let the other person win.
I'll be the bigger person. I will chose my battles and I will only
enter battles that have direct plentiful gain for me or someone I love. It has to
be worth it. I will save up lots of energy from this that my body can use to keep itself healthy and my life positive, happy and fun.

OK, that's my spiritual / mystical / karmic perspective of what's been causing the pains in my life.

But I want to make sure I learn some practical lessons as well.

All the sickness that I experienced recently was worthwhile because it showed me once again that health is the most important factor to enjoying life and I have to protect my health at all costs from now on.

I was trying to bundle up w/ multi-layers of thick blankets but I still woke up shivering. At Costco, I bought the Presto Heat Dish, Parabolic Electric Heater. I love this thing. It keeps me so warm! This will drastically increase my chances of staying healthy. Shivering is not good. O hellz yayuh!

My parental units have a tangerine & lemon tree in front of the house, so I picked these and mixed them up w/ blueberries and orange juice. I got plenty of vitamin C in me. O hellz yayuh!

Sto introduced a product called Airborne to me. It's supposedly good for preventing colds. The creator of the product used to be a 2nd grade teacher and she always got sick from being around kids. She experimented with herbs, amino acids, vitamins, mixed them up and created a concoction that helped her from catching colds. I researched online, there is no scientific proof that it works, but I'm gonna go buy some anyways and benefit from its' placebo effect. If Oprah can believe in it, I can too. O hellz yayuh!

Other than these new preventative changes, I'm doing all the other basics to keep my self warm and healthy. Example, being out and about, taking vitamins, working out, portion control of diet, layering my clothes to keep warm etc...

Oh yes, one other major change... I realized that I am too honest sometimes and this works against me. Everyone does not have to know everything about me. Friendships and relationships can work without disclosing 100% of myself. Sometimes by deleting, withholding information, I can help to maintain positive relations, respect, and good vibes. No more dumbass honesty. For now on, I will be sensible about what I reveal about myself, for the benefit of myself and my company.. especially when the situation calls for good, high energy vibes.

This heater really feels good, one of the best investments of 2006.

"Life without risk is no life at all."  -Indecent Proposal

Gonna go buy some compact fluorescent light bulbs today. My brother recommended them to me because they save lots of energy.  Bright White or Cool White, that is the question. I'll get both and experiment which color looks nicer.

"In comparison to incandescent light bulbs, CFLs have a longer rated life and use less electricity. In fact, CFLs save enough money in electricity costs to make up for their higher initial price within about 500 hours of use."

"CFLs are produced in varying shades of white:

• "Warm white" or "Soft white" (2700 K - 3000 K) provides a light
  very similar to that of an incandescent bulb, somewhat yellow in
  appearance;
• "White", "Bright White", or "Medium White" (3500 K) bulbs produce a
  yellowish-white light, whiter than an incandescent bulb still but on
  the warm side;
• "Cool white" (4100 K) bulbs emit more of a pure white tone; and
• "Daylight" (5000 K - 6500 K) is slightly bluish-white."

I felt super high energy in the morning and added "CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT, EVOLUTION, GROWTH, LEARNING, & EXPANSION" on my mantra board. WTH though! Soon after, I fell into a slump and ended up watching Naruto all afternoon. Maybe it's because I started talking about the topic of humility w/ Dae & Kenny on instant messenger. They gave me their perspectives on the issue, but it was a pretty heavy subject to be talking about in the morning. Maybe that zapped all the energy out of me. I came to the conclusion that humility shouldn't be something that I fixate on. Just use it when it is necessary. Remembering that there is always someone who is superior to me in whatever I am feeling arrogant about will do the trick. The topic came up because sometimes I feel I look down upon my parents. It's so bad. I feel guilty, sometimes I am so "namaiki" (impertinent) around them. So, I wanted to figure out a way to discipline myself.

I fell asleep after eating ramen for lunch. Woke up around 3pm. Decided to get some errands done. I needed to get some flea shampoo & a flea comb at Petco on Fremont. Chisaku-chan has been scratching herself behind the ears lately, so I decided it's time to destroy all fleas and ticks in the house. I was gonna buy an electronic flea trap online, but after doing research I found out that all you need is a small light, place it over a dish w/ soap water and leave it on during the night. Supposedly the fleas get attracted to the light and get trapped on the dish. I forgot to do this last night, so I don't know if it really works. After Petco, I went to Costco on Commonwealth to buy some lemon cake. My mom cuts these lemon cakes up and sells them at the store for $1.00 each. She prolly makes over 100% on them. A good deal. There is one customer who is totally addicted to it, I feel bad for her body. But what can we do, we have to make a profit!

After Petco and Costco, I attended a real estate seminar in Pasadena. I received a postcard in the mail a few days ago about it and decided I needed to get educated on Real Estate before the next boom cycle. O man, the seminar sucked! It was basically a bunch of RE people trying to sell their properties or loan sharks looking for fresh meat. I left the seminar early because the schedule was showing that what I wanted to learn wouldn't start until 8:30pm.

I drove a few blocks down Madison Avenue and parked my car near Old Town on Colorado. I walked through a mall there. I visited Coach, Macy's and Bath & Body Works. But I spent most of the time in Brookstone, sitting on the reclining chair massage machine. Felt so damn good. I should go to Brookstone more often. OMG. There is a crazy massage machine at Brookstone. The video introduction of it is hilarious. When walking into the store I saw these women riding on a machine like a horse on the display TV. So erotic, so sensual, wth is that doing in front of Brookstone. Brookstone is G-rated. That video was straight up softporn. Anyways, when I was sitting on the normal reclining massage machine, I saw people trying out the horsey massage/workout machine. It's so hilarious. The motion is exactly like those rodeos. OMG. I couldn't watch some of them doing it. TOO FUNNY.

When I left Brookstone, I browsed an outdoor vendor's rings/necklace station. It had a lot of cool stainless steel rings. The vendor girl helped me try them out and recommended me ring sizes. So helpful... She asked me where I lived and we started chatting for like 15 mins. This was the first time I actually had a long talk w/ a girl stranger. So, this is another first time experience for me. She was from Burma and living in the US for 4 years. She owns the station w/ a friend and works there part-time. She also goes to college on her spare time. She was so friendly and nice. She was pretty cute too. Was I supposed to ask her for her number? I have no idea how that stuff works so when I realized I had to get back to the RE seminar, I asked for her name, told her my name and said goodbye. Maybe I'll get to talk to her again if I see her there. She is pretty cool.

I got back to the RE seminar and it was the same old thing. This time they were pushing a REIT on the people there. $10,000 minimum investment. 1000 shares @ $10. WTH kind of a RE seminar was this. No education, pure sellage. I'm so glad I left early and went to the mall. I need to take a legitimate RE class at a community college and get the basics down. Calvin told me they have good courses at Cerritos College so I might do that in the Spring. I really want to do RE, it's prolly the only way I can secure my financial future w/o toiling and slaving 9-5 for the rest of my life. At age 30, RE is the only way. One thing I have is the balls to invest, so I'll try to use this to my advantage. I'll prolly own 10 properties by age 35-40. This is my guess. I just want to make sure I time my entry correctly so I am in a few years before the next boom upwards. I will hold my properties for over 10 years. This should be fun. Ofc I will trade stocks on the side as well. I can never abandon trading. Just waiting for my capital to come in, and it will.

[edit: holy crap that was a long entry. it didn't even feel that long when typing it.]

First Ebay Experience. I put something on sale on Ebay for the very first time. I put it up yesterday and there is already a bidder at my minimum price. Hahahaha. Muhohoho! This is fun! I considered selling on ebay before, but once I started to calculate the details, it got tedious quick. I lost momentum and gave up. But this time, I decided to just forget all the calculations and just do it. Do it now, calculations later. This way, I get the experience in without getting discouraged and quitting before anything gets started.

[edit: realized First Ebay Experience should be FEE, not FBE]

Calvin burned me 2 DVD's worth of Naruto a few weeks back. I didn't care for it much when I first browsed through it. But during the downtime w/ the penicillin I had nothing else to do so I started watching it. I'm hooked.

[edit]
I watched the DVD's in the wrong order. Just slipped in DVD2..Naruto is younger and just learning his ninjitsu.  LOL No wonder it felt like I was missing a whole chunk of information. It's like watching Pulp Fiction.
