As of 6PM today, our lease contract at the local shopping mall ends, so we are closing our business down until we relocate to Portland, Oregon, in late May. In my opinion, however, we should have exended the contract at least for two more months. It’s not like we have huge investments or savings somewhere anyway.

Until today, I didn’t know the difference between VCD and DVD. There also are a few other formats. I looked it up, because a swapper on SwapSwop.com complained that I sent him a VCD (Ring 2), which I got via Swappingtons.com a few months ago. He gave me a rating of 4 out of 5. Oh, well. 
For the claim I filed, I just received a check of $13.86 from the Attorney General for the State of Washington. I’m gonna get myself a DVD with that money… heh. 
Not being able to go above the 3.6v mark makes me irritable and angry, because my life will be pretty much over if these implants don’t improve my condition more. I would rather take my life than to live with this condition. I sometimes wish I was mentally-challenged as well, because then, I would be satisfied with pretty much anything that’s given to me in this life.
I definitely feel damned… I must have been a serial killer or something in my previous life. 
Yes, I believe in karma and in reincarnation even though I’m a Catholic.
I had an appointment with my neurologist today, and we attempted to go above the 3.6v mark for the implant on the right side of my chest plate with the approval of my neurosurgeon, but the side-effects (contracting of the tongue and nausea) were just too intolerable; instead, we ended up in decreasing the pulse width back down to 400 something. For the other side, we increased the amplitude to 3.5 from 3.2. Continue reading ‘Settings change’ »
I haven’t been particularly good at making friends, and I think it will be more difficult to do so at my age. I mean, the majority of people my age are either married with kids or are too busy with their carrers. It would be even more difficult for me, because I’m worse at befriending with guys. In my opinion, guys have to get “physical” to be friends whereas females make friends on the emotional level; i.e., guys play/watch sports together, go out for a beer, etc., but females make friends with whom they can share gossips with and other “emotional” stuffs. Right? Continue reading ‘Awkward age’ »
Wow, I absolutely love the contemporary dance that Julia Stiles (Sara) does at the end of this movie… 
My mother’s blood test result came in the mail today, and it states that she has a high LDL cholesterol (165) level. We thought this was weird, because she rarely eats fatty foods unlike me or my father. But then, we have finally concluded that it was due to her high consumptions of squids my father brought home from his numerous fishing trips last year. Sure, seafoods do not contain high amounts of cholesterol, but too much of it could be bad like anything else.
How helpful he is… I hate fishing by the way. 
I hate it when people patronizes me — family or otherwise. I’m almost 30 for crying out loud!
