Looking forward to spring break!

I was looking at tickets online for my Canada trip this coming spring break. All the airline flights seem to be very expensive. Looks like I need to start saving up. I cannot wait to be with my relatives,I miss them so much.

Why are the bees dying?

As old as this news is, I did some research today to fill me in and it turns out this has been going on since early 2007. The case is called Colony Collapse Disorder. It is phenomenon in which large numbers of worker bees suddenly disappear or die. Though we have not seen a decline in supply of honey on our shelves, we have seen a decline of income for that particular industry. Researchers up to today still can not pin point exactly what is causing it but speculations suggest a lowered immune systems for bees. As of now all the bee workers can do is hope for a remission of CCD.

Finally pre-ordered the new ipad!!

Today I pre-ordered the new iPad and It is funny cause it seems like I just got my iPad 2 yesterday. I remember waiting in line for 2 hours around this time last year. All the excitement. All the hype. All the tech talks. I cannot believe they are going to release the 3rd version already. My techy friends and I feel its just too soon to say goodbye to the current model. It can do virtually everything the new one can do other than the faster network. Even with that you will have the same speed on WiFi. Yeah the new one has a quad core processor but do you really need that on a tablet? It will only suck up more power which is why the new one was fitted with a larger battery. My main use for the tablet is to shop and watch movies online. I know I do not really need to update but I will just so I can keep up with todays latest and greatest toys.

Blender =(

There is an old saying that haste makes waist. Well tonight I can testify to its truth. I have been wanting to make a Peruvian sauce called “Aji Verde”. It’s a side dish served over rice and steak. I got the recipe online and it looks pretty simple. I don not have a blender so I went to Best Buys. I looked through multiple blenders. They all looked the same. I saw one for $20.oo vs another for $69.oo. I got the cheaper one even though my friend with me advised me not too. I did not listen. I was in a hurry and excited to make my dish. On top of that we had to put time one hour forward today so I was pressed. When I got home I loaded it up with al the ingredient needed including olive oil for emulsification. The machine could not blend as promised. It got hot after a few seconds I and can smell something burning. I tried other techniques that have worked in the past for other blender but none of the remedies worked. I called it a loss. Lesson learned, hast makes waste

Evolution of Theory

I just changed my clock one hour ahead and now I am watching a hilarious episode  of South park.This show is one of my all time favorites. I can not wait until they come out with their shows on dvd.

Tips

Today I ordered pizza and the driver demanded an extra tip on top of the $5.oo already given. It was awkward but I didn’t feel like arguing so I just gave it. I understand that tipping is a social norm and that it makes up for the low wages workers are paid. However the amount given should not be dictated or standardized. That is why it is called gratuity right? At least that’s what I think. Prices should already factor in services rendered rather than having it open for the consumers to conclude. In other countries, like Japan, a tip is considered an insult. They view it this way because they have already charged what is fair. They price all their services higher than us but that’s because they have already calculated everything for goods to services.

Courageous is a great movie

Just watched the movie Courageous, it made me tear up. It was a great movie, especially for all the dads out there. I have not been touched by a movie for a while, this one got me good. I love it! Now it is time to get my day started I have so much stuff to do.

Song of the day

Blah

I am school early morning studying for my psychology test and at the same time listening to "someone like you"by Adel on Pandora. My Class starts at 9:40. Feel very nervous ,I did not have enough time to study yesterday. Ahhh!! I do not think I will good on this one but on the good note, the new IPad 3 has finally been announced the other day! I cannot wait to pre-order it!! It. Will be released this March 16!!! :)

Ignorant people

I cant stand ignorant people.  Why cant we all just get along.   You would think since its 2012 that we as a race would have learned to live in harmony.   Its too bad that we can never be diplomatic with our conflicts.  I mean its not like you have to be a college grad to be well informed.  That’s what you tube and the web  is for.  Hahahaha.

A great example of todays ignorance is racism.   Yes. It still exist and more so in other states.   Just the other day at the grocery store an elderly lady told me to go back to where you came from.  That’s funny cause I was born and raised right here in Los Angeles.  I stayed calm and told her have a nice day.   I understand where she is coming and why she might be frustrated but ignorance is never an excuse. 

Blog update

I am Looking forward to his day

My fathers birthday is coming up on March sixteen and my mother,siblings and I are excited to get him the perfect present. We have narrowed it down to three choices; all of which are great. The first is a nice shirt from  Lacoste, the second is a CD set from Time Life  collection that he has been wanting for so long or a Apple TV which we all need. From these three choices I feel he would like would appreciate Time life cd collection best, since he is a music junkie. A Lacoste shirt is nice but he has plenty already, an  apple television would be great but it is more of a  luxury item. I went ahead and ordered the cd set. I am excited to see his  facial expression when he opens his gift. I love my daddy and want to see him happy.
