Len Tillem Show

I thought the show will be long gone since last Dec, but I've found that AM910 has hired Len Tillem for a 3pm-4pm show. It's great to have my favorite show again, I could learn a lot of useful information about legal stuff and it's also entertaining as well because there are many people have problems in their lives. We can learn to be wise by not repeating their mistakes. Just like the saying " The wise man can learn from the foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer." http://www.newstalk910.com/pages/len-tillem.html

Smart and Final's Review

I think I should write the review about Smart and Final since last time. After all, they have done so much improvement. I think they deserve a good rating review. First, they had installed bicycle rack now which I appreciate it the most. And second, they had rearrange the whole store. That's make shopping easier there. And they had hired more staffs and they are very friendly. That kind of service is a high quality store must have. By the way, I am a real costumer not an actress.  

Hohoho.......

It's time updating my blog before the world has forgotten us.  Year 2011 is almost over, let's review what had happened in these 365 days. First, we finally had evicted the roommate who had not paying for quite a while. The process was not easy, we had some dramatic moments. Second, I got my new look , that's because of my dental problem, I've got some fixing on my face. Isn't it shaking news? But, oh boy, I look good now. My awful husband even said, I look better than when I first met him. Isn't  he so straight forward?  Hope everyone had a wonderful year.

Being a Buddhist

If someone was living in your house as a guest, would you just let this person stay and without paying? I might, I might not. (I'm not trying to say I am generious, the thing is, there are certain things that are not under my control.) That's depends on situation. But there must be a time limit. It cannot be going on forever. I mean, there must be a deadline. You can not just let this go on and forget about it. You have to check on that person's situation. Is he going to find a job? Or is he well? Is the room turning into a landfill? You don't want a dead body laying on your property and turn stink, right?  Even thougt you are trying to be a Buddhist. You have responsibility to end this matter.

Solar City Turn Me Down

       I heard about Google is giving 280 millions dollars to Solar City for helping homeowners to install solar panels.  I called up Solar City to inquire what is the cost for installing one on my roof, I gave they my address.They asked me what kind of roof do I have,and what was my credit rate, and then they asked me what was the usage of the electricity . And then they had to hang up and call me back . After a moment, they called back and they said I am not qualify. They did not even come to my house, they just saw the image on Google Earth, they said my roof was not sufficient for solar panels. It was because they need 250 square feet of the roof that facing south. And my roof was an a-roof that has a hip in the middle, therefore my roof cannot product enough power for the house. And they said I am not qualify. Is that mean most of the homes in San Francisco are not qualify for this program? Where the Google money goes to? Going back to Silicon Valley?  What is the purpose of Google? Helping homeowners in one area?  Or Solar City gets to pick and choose?    

Mean Gardener in Botanical Garden

         We were in that place the other day because of the field trip. I saw a lot of elementary school kids there. Some were following the flock, some were chasing each other, some were sitting on the lawn. No one was paying attention to gardeners expect the staffs who were leading the tours. We were following a tour which was introducing the plants to us. Some of the kids walked outside the path to see the plants, I knew that we were not suppose to do that, I was trying so hard to stop them, <<< all of a sudden >>> there was a gardener jumped out of nowhere scolding at us like a lion pounding. All the kids were startle by this big version of Yosemite Sam. This made everybody screaming and crying at the same time. I was surprised by such an act. That made me wondering. Would this guy does the same thing to other visitors? If so, I'm sure he will chase away a lot of tourists and ruin the reputation of the city too.

Forgot How To Write English

    I'm not kidding. It's really hard to begin this post. First, it's been almost two months I have not writen any English, and then I have to come up with a topic.  my mind was completely block. Actually, I have been reading a lot lately. Books from my kids' school. Right, children books. They are very easy to read, good for a person who speak English as a second language which is --- me. One of the books is call "The Terrible Wave". I think the teacher was inspired by the Japan's earthquake.  She has assigned it to my son. I got to read it too, The story occured in late 1800's. There was a rich little girl who had never suffer any poverty before, but one day, there was a big flood occurred without any warning. All of a sudden, half of the people died in her town. The writing is brilliant. I kept picturing  it what will it's like if I were there when I was reading it. (That's remind me there was a movie, which play by Gene Hackman. The movie is about a big ship which was capsized and all the people inside were trying to get out of the ship, I forgot the movie's name, but anyway,)  I strongly recommend this book to everyone.  

Positive Energy

      I don't know why every time when I write about bad things that had happen to me  I would write faster. Maybe it because of my mood,  I know I should not pass it on to the internet because someone out there may affect by me, sorry.  What can I say, I'd tried to write positive things like about my children, that's right, I still have a lot of good things to write, such as how my children do funny things. That's it. There is ton of fun stuff of my children. I keep telling myself be positive, be positive,be positive.........

Smart and Final

    It is such a untruth name. I would say they should be name Stupid and Final. I have be shopping there for years. I have noticed that they don't have bicycle rack for customers who are riding bike. This city is a bicycle city. No matter you are rich or poor. Sometimes you ride bikes, right?  There is a store just two blocks away from my home, if I just go there for one or two handy snack, I would just grab my bike and go there. But, after all these years in the business. They still have not install bicycle rack. I had to lock my bike near the shopping carts. Therefore, sometimes my bike was push by the careless staffs or costumers when they put the carts back. Today, my bike was knock down again, and the rear tire had a bump. I told the staff who say he was in charge. He said that he watch the video there was cause by a customer. Therefore, it not their responsibility. I ask them to install a bicycle rack would solve the problem. Let's see how long will it take them to do it. 

Happy New Year 2011

   After I watched this video, I have to say , Hong Kong really earns it's name as "a pearl of Asia". The spectacular New Year light displays that make everybody want to be there.

I ask people in my internet provider company, they said that it's the HK Yahoo server's problem. They could see the site themself from Texas of United State. And I asked someone in UK that they could connect it too. Why is only me has this problem? Can HK Yahoo Bloggers help me ask the HK Yahoo Blog's web editor? Thank you so much.

Holiday Blue

         I think I am having a holiday blue. All these radio stations are playing holiday music, and the situation in my house is disturbing me. There is no way out. I guess I am not the only one who is having this feeling in the holiday season. Although I just bought a brand new lap top which I was eyeballing for long time, but it seem didn't help me at all. I did not go home happy. Instead of this is worrying. Look back in the 2010, there were a lot of unfortunate things that had happened. Such as roommates' sudden departures and the troubles with my kids. I feel so helpless and lonely. I hope in the new year that will be dissolve.

Native American Heritage Month 2010

      Let's celebrate the Native American Month by singing and dancing the traditional music. We were at the San Francisco City College one evening.  It was a full house in the room that people were interested in this event. We got to stand up with the singers when they sang the traditional song at the beginning. Everybody was showing respect to the Indians' ancestors. And there was a video of the Indians' history which show how they were treated when the white men came. It was not a very happy film but I think people must learn from the past to prevent repeating mistakes. Well, I guess there won't be anything like that happen again . Unless there are other people live on the Mars.

October 2010

           (I'm writing in a very noisy environment.So forgive me if I have any writing errors in this post. )  We have been going to a lot of places this month compare to average month. First, we went to City College  for an owl lecture which arrange by Mrs G, but unfortunately, we went on a wrong day,so we had to go back three days later, my kids thought it was  a nice car ride though. And in the same day, it was the free day for The Conservatory of Flowers. Therefore we were there too. We saw Mrs G and her daughter. Well ,actually, it was a field trip day. we got it all mix up. Poor me. And three days later, we went to the owl lecture, we were sitting with bunch of college students. even some moms and little kids were there. Why? It was because it is open to the public . The guy who did the presentation was Mr so and so. I heard he works in the planning department. How handy, he can decide which place could save for his owl. Just kidding. Oh well , I have learned some new things about owl that day but not my son, he's read all the books about owl from the library before that. And when the lecture was over ,we got to be introduce to Mrs G's son. That's the first time we met him. He's also a teacher in the City College. And after that, I suggested that we go to the cemetery for sweeping my Grandma's grave, because it's the time of the year the Chinese people do that. And after that we ate our lunch right there. Maybe you feel weird, but not me, it's a tradition of Chinese. At the end I was very touching when I saw Evelyn looking at the tomb stone quietly.
