Christmas Wish List

more patience

I just want Roslyn and Liam to be happy and healthy life.  That would be only the only Christmas gift I want.


busy day

such a busy today. so much cleaning, not including the daily task of caring for our children.

spent almost an hour just putting together a damn steam cleaner. but damn… the carpets are clean. maybe this is something i’ll be doing once a month. so much crud in the carpets… ugg. at least there’s no more dog pee smell, hope it stays that way.  anyway, this carpet is so clean now, i’m amazed.  next up is to figure out how to shine up the kitchen floor.  oh yeah, i think the oriental rug needs to get replaced. its getting a bit dangerous since it’s getting frayed in a high traffic area.

i feel the need to rearrange the house, my feng shui, but i need to educate myself on it more. the house definitely needs a more positive energy in it, but it’s definitely on its way.

married life with kids is so different. time management is such a key component to managing our lives, that without it, there is no way possible that i can see anyone staying sane.

Roku recently added some channels to it’s lineup so now i can listen to Pandora, watch my TWiT shows, and some other shows that i normally watch.  there’s this other subscription service call motionbox where i can add videos to it so i can watch home videos on the big screen.  not sure if i want to do that or keep them on youtube.  maybe youtube will make it on Roku someday, but that might be a conflict of interests. anyway, so much new tech coming out.

already bought my wife her christmas gift which will arrive on Dec 2.  Should i give it to her now, or wait till Christmas. Still not sure what I want. Not sure if I want to go the Apple route, if I do I would love the new iMac 27″ hehehe, but would settle for the Barnes and Nobles Nook. I already have an  HP Mini 1035NR running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, which I am quite happy with, except for the fact that I can’t run FileZilla because of some broken packages.

Some more tech stuff, I’ve had the T-Mobile Motorola Cliq since it’s pre-release, and I think its great, sans the battery life, does everything I need, twitter, wordpress, facebook, music, podcasts. what more can I ask for. This phone can do almost everything.  With my netbook, mifi card and Cliq, i’m intrinsically connected to the interwebs.  Only reason I would need a desktop for is for photo editing, and for music collection (CD) which i’m still trying to digitize, seems like an attempt in futility.

Long weekend is almost done, and i’m not looking forward to going back to work.  My behavior and performance has been less than stellar, needless to say i have a lot of work to do.

until next time….


Black Friday 2009

i wasn’t about to be one of those idiot people out there to buy stuff on Back Friday that they can’t afford to begin with. anyway, It’s the person that’s smart, its the people that are dumb, just look what happened last year.  Have we all become so dependent on technology for live our lives.  I may be a oxymoron, but I use the right tools for the right job.

Anyway, in my opinion Thanksgiving was a success. everybody came, and they enjoyed my first ever smoked turkey.  And it still tastes good till now, not even dry.  I have to thank Mike S and Mike L for planting that idea in my head


Happy Thanksgiving All

Another year and another Thanksgiving.  So much to be thankful for. my wife, my twins and all the friends and family around us.

Truly blessed this year!


Nothing really

Just too tiretoday. Went home early, amd fell into bed. Was tired from exhaustion. Now I have to catch up on all the stuff I was supposed to do.


daddy hood

as most of you know by now, daddy hood is tough job, even more so with twins. So, these reality shows like Jon & Kate plus 8 and then octomom just completely blow my mind away.  What kind of life can thy provide for their children, it’s just beyond me.

had a talk to with some people today, and seems that I am not doing as i used to   I feel like i’m at my wits end, but i just have to keep on smiling…. brb… need some inspiration….

i know that other parents have been able to do this, but why can’t

i try everything I can to make life easy for my wife , but i just feel that I i’m doing a a good enough job.

there are so many things going on right now, professionally and personally and those lines are starting to get blurred.  i just hope that I don’t cross that line.

i’m trying to be the best i can for everyone,unfortunately, that doesn’t include me.  i don’t include myself because I would do anything to keep my wife and children happy..

i just wish  i can do everything,

praying to my ancestors for better days ahead.


Finally getting sleep.

Garden cleaning house keeping. Getting the smoker ready, maybe some ribs….yummmyyy

Gonna go now. So exhausted

I ask God and my ancestors to give me strength to get through this.

There are times I feel like I’m going to fall apart.


damn pictures

still have to restore my old pictures from my old blog. just need to find the time.


So much better

So glad that my mom is here to help out. Linette and I really need some rest. We actually get to enjoy this new sealy posturedic bed.

Going to be a long day tomorrow with all the cleaning and preparing for Thanksgiving. I want to try to make it as memorable as possible.


Long day

I really need to get to work early and setup this presentation for the chairman.

Getting to work 3 hours late is really and isn’t good for my reputation. I feel like that I have rebuild that again, but the hurdle is much higher now.

I’ll be coming up on 72 hours of no sleep now. I’m so tired that I’m to tired to sleep.

Well I hope it’s all worth it.

Well my Mom is here, I hbope that she is able to help. I really didn’t want to ask for help, but we’re at our wits end.

Did I say I’m delilrious? Can’t sleep, can’t think straight and I’m even forgetting things. Which is not good in my line of work.

I just hope that I can keep up this level of intensity without falling apart.

Have a good night all.
