    still here...

    Sigh...

    Must keep busy...busy busy busy...need to keep myself busy...keep my mind from going crazy by keeping crazy busy at work...sigh

    Still at the office...almost 10pm

    Finishing up some paperwork for Project: Reconnect...Have to present plans to the borough for approval...

    Work work work...

    Thursday...

    Nice and busy at the store today...which is good.  Might need to hire that programmer to be full time.

    We had a nice client at Rio Vista today.  Nice BIG client.  Wallet BIG. haha  And he's so young too.  I want to be like that. haha

    Looks like it's going to rain outside too today.  boo

    Another funny thing happen today.  Our competitor sent in a spy today.  Pretty good one too.  I give him props for acting quick on his feet.  Just not good enough.  VIQ quickly picked his face up once he walked in the door and already sent out a text message to my cell.  Lucky I was there and I "took care" of the problem.  The spy tried to ask for prices on service and computers and want info on stuff.  You might be good at being a spy.  But I'm good at buying intelligence.  Let's say YOU somehow get to fool the $7000 VIQ system I've setup in the store.  Do YOU think you can fool my very close friend that work at 1 Federal Plaza in NYC?  By the way, one of your workers got a lead foot.  Tell him to pay that speeding ticket off.  And plus YOUR credit isn't doing so good either right?  So let's assume you found a way to hide from my fed friend.  You still can't win over my gut feeling which usually is 90% correct.  The other incorrect 10% would be from my personal life.  By the way, if you think the intel your spy got was accurate.  Think again.  STUPID.  You think I would give out correct prices?  hahaha.  So you see...if I wanted to I can screw your life up so bad that you have no way of coming out of it.  You play nice and I'll play nice.  I'm giving a way out for you.  If you don't want to take it then you are just digging your own grave.  There is enough pie for the both of us in this area.

    on another note...
    Pluto has just been dumped from the planetary list.  We now have eight planets only.  Poor Pluto.  I know how you feel.  Say hi to my heart while you are at the dump site.

    Still can't sleep...

    Why can't I sleep any more?

    sigh...

    Jodie C.: then stop the caffine
    Jodie C.: Jackie, i know its tough
    Jodie C.: take my word..
    Jodie C.: try to relax more, stop thinking about it
    Jodie C.: this is your time now

    Jodie C.: and i believe you will become a better person
    Jodie C.: =)
    Jodie C.: got it

    Yummy lunchie

    Had Japanese for lunch before next door...

    Kani Salad + Udon + Spicy Tuna Roll = one happy tummy

    Forgot to take picture of it...boo...I'll remember next time.

    More updates tonight...yay

    Tuesday...

    Man this week is moving slow...only Tuesday? Well Wednesday now since it's almost 2am. haha...wish it was Friday though.

    Random pics:

    Archos AV500 100GB Version...Had this PVP for a few weeks (that's Personal Video Player) for those non-techie people. So took a few pics of it:





    It was playing the YUI - Tomorrow's Way music video.

    I've been loving this drink lately. Coke + Coffee = Blak

    They should put more coffee in it. Less carbonated would be good too.

    Also bought new tea today. Lipton White Tea with Mango and Peach:


    Not much typing here today. Mostly pics....

    Also looking on ebay for posters...haha...BoA and Ayumi...woo

    Project: Reconnect is a go. Starting the full planning phase now and hopefully get some prototype up by next month and maybe full scale production by the end of the year. So if plans go well then the project should be all completed and the system should be up and running. Hope all goes well!!!

    Also thanks Nezz for helping out in apartment searching!!

    5...4...3...2...1...zzZzzZzzZ



    Jack Bauer does not let women on top during sex. Why? Because Jack Bauer never fucks up.

    New tech...Weird tech

    Is Pink the new color?

    Here are the pictures of the PS3 60GB Silver or 20GB Black.
    Let me know if anyone wants to pre-order these.  We will have a shipment of 50 pieces when it comes out.

    This is soooo niceeee...the Samsung 70" is nice too...lol

    More tonight...

    up and up

    Still up of course...I miss the Lunestaaaaa...haha

    I'm good though...

    Forgot to mention that I was a nice day today so I went out and washed the car too...lol

    Ok...finally...

    Jacks...Out

    Monday

    Like all Monday's its an exciting start of the week...

    Woke up...had breakfast at the Diner with parents...

    Then went to the store...got pretty busy today...back to school season is here...so many kids with deep pockets parents came in to buy PCs and laptops.  I think we sold about 8 systems today and 5 printers.  A few came in for repair also.

    Wanted to order stuff online but guess what!!! Maxed out my CC already!! -_-;;  Called the CC company and asked them to raise the credit limit but they say have to wait a year before they can do that.  So out of the $20K only ~$850 left for the rest of the month!!! Ahhhh~~~~ Lucky for debit cards...lol

    I was also looking at a few 30" LCD/TV for my room.  I think its time to upgrade?  Was checking out Samsung and Sony LCD/TV.  I could get a white Samsung for about $600 or a Sony for $1000?  About half price then outside since we are authorized reseller for them.  Is Sony worth the extra $400? hmm...

    Got new pets to take care of...woo
    New turtles...big ones too...5 years old...check out their nails!!!



    Need to get them a bigger tank and a better filter.  Bigger turtles = bigger poo...and they eat so fast too!!!

    Got new shades too a few weeks ago.  And of course my shades got to be something to do with technology.  Bluetooth shades from Oakley:


    Like the Oakleys on the mood beam? lol

    Also got a headset for the PowerBook G4...an addition to the bluetooth family...Logitech Bluetooth headset:


    So now the G4 got BT mouse, BT keyboard, BT headset, BT headphones, BT graphite pad, BT shades...woo

    I'm such a shopaholic -_-;;

    Also just finished video conf with Amy S. in Australia.  Older sister of the late Sunisa S. (no relation to the model) for the few that knows about my past.  And she's a therapist for those super few that knows.  Wells I've always consulted with her with all my problems.  She's so easy to talk to since I've pretty much grew up with her lil sister in Australia.  And plus she's always looking out for me.  Thank You!!!  Just chit chat about all the stress and headaches I've been getting.  And she said that I was in the "5 stages of grief".  Don't know if I was in grief but the 5 stages was pretty much on target:
    1) Denial - I really didn't believe it.  I really didn't want to believe it.
    2) Anger - Yes I was angry.  Angry at everyone.  Angry at myself.  Angry about life.  Angry Angry Angry.
    3) Bargaining - I tried.  I really wanted to work it out. 
    4) Depression - Well waking up in the hospital because OD on Lunesta...Don't you think I was depressed?
    5) Acceptance - Nothing I can do.  Nothing you can do.  Nothing anyone can do.  If God wanted it that way then there is nothing anyone can do.  That last sentence is thanks to Stacy Y. to intro me to "THE MAN".  haha

    Did you know the bible is a pretty cool book to read?  They might want to rewrite it for this generation.  Like change Moses to Mickey Mouse (Fantasia - The Sorcerer's Apprentice) when he control the water and the buckets and mops.  And change Jesus as the all mighty House!!  Add cool characters like Blade, Spiderman, and the Terminator!!  Change the chariots to be a car from Tokyo Drift!!  And the Ten Commandments shouldn't be written on stone by a tree.  It should be emailed to Mickey by Gates.
    I'm pretty sure more people will convert if they can make a cool version of the bible.  Instead of the "original bible".  It should be "bible remix".  hehe

    Ok I think that's it for tonight.  Too much typing.

    Jacks...Out

    Project: Reconnect

    Horoscope:
    Things are flowing well for you, and you will make great progress in whatever project it is that you decide to tackle. Once you get the ball rolling, dear Taurus, you will find that a greater force will help push it the rest of the way. You need only to provide the initial impetus. No project is too large for you to tackle on a day like this. Find the strength within yourself to make it happen.

    Hope the town project goes well.  Huge ass project.  Proposed budget about $1.5 million.  Split between the town, PC Solutions and our huge partner.  Not revealing the partner yet.  Only hint is that I own some of their stocks. 
    Hope everything goes as planned.

    Sunday...The Lord's Day

    A little different life this Sunday...

    Stacy Y. asked me if I would like to join her and her love, Jonathan, to Church. 

    "It's a change...maybe it will cheer you up"  --Stacy Y.

    So there I was...waking up early and heading out to Brooklyn.  Never actually been there before.  It's actually a pretty nice area.  Or maybe the area that I was in was a no-fire zone or something.  hehe

    It was a nice community church near Stacy's place.  Lots of people were there.  She intro me to the church people which were very very nice to me.  They had me join their activities and listen to their talks and stuff. 

    And you guys know me...I'm not a church/religion type person.  But the funny thing is that they don't really talk much about religion.  It's more of like a "hang out" spot for these believers.  They had nice breakfast and group talks.  Only thing religious would be the part where they say their prayers.  Of course I wasn't obligated to say them. 

    Church ended around 1pm.  Before we left, I got a gift.  Guess what it is???  A bible.  Well you guys know me...if it's not a manga or a fiction book then it better be in an mp3 audio format. lol.  But it was nice of them to give such a "precious" gift to me?

    After that we had lunch and I got to know Jonathan a bit more.  They actually met at church!  Which I think is pretty romantic / fate.  He's a pretty great guy.  Nice catch Stacy!! ^_^

    Went to chill at her place for awhile before we went to ChinaTown for dinner.  Felt like the "light-bulb" but she says it was ok.  After that Jonathan took us to a lounge for drinks.  Forgot the name of it.  Someplace in midtown though.  Nice setting and candles.

    Now back at home typing this.  Had a nice different Sunday today.

    Cleaned up my table a few days ago:

    Also took this pic on Saturday...it's the store bird!! lol...It actually walked into our store when the door was open.  It didn't buy anything though...boo.  It wasn't scared at all either.  Didn't even try to fly.  Just slowly walking.  We also see it at the backdoor and also around the parking lot.  It must love the area.  Also you can see that the leg was tagged.  So maybe some bird people are tracking its migration or something.

    Also I'm typing this blog up using MSN Writer.  Hope it comes out good. 

    Anyways...enough of typing for today.  Gonna finish proofreading a project proposal for the town.  Hope that goes well.

    Thanks for reading...

    still up?

    Now I know why I'm still up...

    Ice Angel + Tiger Woods...duhhh

    what is sleep for?

    Why do people need sleep?

    Can't sleep...3am...boo =(

    ~~~~%~ snakesssss

    Went with Blake to the Palisades Mall after closing the store.

    "Get those mother f*cken snakes off this mother f*cken plane"  --Samuel L. Jackson

    Movie was ok.  Stupid storyline about witness protection but the snakes looks good.  Rachel Blanchard looks pretty good too.  hehe

    After movie went to eat at Fox Sports Bar and Grill.  Good food but service was very bad tonight.  The Ice Angel and Tiger Woods drink was pretty good.  Tiger Woods tasted funny with the red bull mix in it.

    Horoscope

    This is not a day to be sitting around the house, dear Taurus. If you are not at the dock at exactly the designated hour, you will most likely miss the boat. Make sure your watch is set to the right time. There is a time for relaxation and a time for action. Today is all about the latter. Live life to the fullest. Make every day count.
     
    It will never be the fullest . . .
    Everyday used to count . . . not anymore
     
    Happy Birthday to Marie

    Busy at the store today...but same'ol same'ol

    After work went to check out a new house...looks pretty good...about 1.7 mil...big backyark though...has a pretty good size in-ground pool and a tennis court...the court was ok...a few cracks on the floor...but playable...

    Went to costco after that to get some supplies...then went to a Shanghai restaurant for dinner...kinda quiet there but it is Thursday night, so can't expect that much people eating out...

    Courage is not the absent of fear...
    It is the present of fear...but the will to move on...

    If there is a chance to start over...
    Do you have the courage to do so?
