Tonight, I'm Leaving For Bangkok, Thailand

Finally, I'm going to Bangkok, Thailand with my gf, RM.

Going to enjoy this trip, I hope?

Anyway, I'm going to fix my missing front teeth, again hopefully it's all going to go well, : ?

Keeping my fingers crossed! ; )

Jan 22, (Second Day Out)

Traffic, Traffic Traffic!

Traffic jams, people everywhere, pollution, aaaahhhh, Life in the big City. I LOVE IT! I love Manila, but I love all big Cities, especially San Francisco (My home city).

All the excitement and dramas that comes along with it. To others it's CRAZY!!!, but the NORM to these people. That's what electricfy a city and gives it this glow and energy!

Everyone comes into the big cities for one purpose is the make money. Most of the people are hustling and bustling. That's all big cities. If you don't do it, it'll swallow you up!

Still sleeping, and resting long.

Let See Now.........................My First Day Out

Was my birthday. I didn't tell my gf, when is my birthday, so I had a quite celebration to myself.

For Lunch:

We ate at home. The cost for 3 of us is 150ps (3.15 USD). I was happy and satisfy of the lunch.


At Night:

We went to eat at Luneta Park area. Me, my gf, daugther and sister-in-law (Maid). 4 of us, eating costed around 300 ps (6.30 USD). It wasn't bad for the price for 4 people.

Today, I'm still tired and sleepy. It'll take about a couple of days to get adjusted.

Here In Manila Now! Jan 20,

I'm here finally. Most of my time is resting and sleeping. Jet lag and tired most of the time here.

Haven't been out on the first arrival yet.

Btw, I Got Fined For Missing My Last Flight

Yes, It's no laughing matter!!!  I missed the flight, and have to pay 150.00 USD for it. When I went to my ticket agent, she told me that the fine is 250.00 USD. I was extremely upset about it, but she told me that what they charged. I know that she and the other middle people want to make money. 

Oh well, I guess I'm not going to use or do business with her again. I think it's a bad policy. She'll start losing customer. I'm not blaming her, but it's the way it went, that upset me. She has to think about it! She can't say, "well too bad!" She should have figure a solution to this. I didn't blame her for the last flight, that she'd screwed up!

Ok, two can play this game.

P.S. What my gf doesn't know is that her immature and attitude costed me 250.00 USD. I could have use it on her family, instead I'm giving it to the corporation. What a dumb shit, I am! STUPID!!!

Leaving Tomorrow, Jan 19, At 12 Noon

Yes, I'm finally leaving. All I have to do is meet my friend, George W. (A GREAT Friend, Friends like George, you don't want to lose!) and pick up the luggage from his car, when he's going to work, and stopping by the airport to drop off my luggage.

The reason to this is that I need to leave my car in an area, when there's no street cleaning. I can't leave it in San Francisco. For sure, I'll be ticketed and towed, when I return back to San Francisco in about a month or so. 

After I leave the car in San Mateo, I'll hop on the bus and go to the airport to wait for George as he gets ready to go to work and the airport around 9-9:30 am. 

And that's how I'm going to do this, without missing my flight, like the last time!

Going Stand-By At This Time Is Tough, Especially Hong Kong

It's a tough time to get on the plane to Hong Kong, although I'm going to the Philippines first, this causes a Big Problem for me. Usually, it's not tough to get on stand-by (Yes, I missed my flight on Cathay Pacific, last Tuesday)  , but it's almost Chinese New Year. Why is it tough?

Every Chinese is going home or going to be there for CNY. Even I like to be in Thailand to see how they have CNY. I've been to the Philippine for CNY.  Well, to get back to the story, I try to go stand-by on Tuesday morning. Well, no dice! There were over 10+ people waiting to get on. Can you guess how many stand-by passenger got on?  NONE!  Yes, not a single person standing by. The flight is totally FULL!!!  Shit, Can't go again, and now I have to haul all the crap back home, and no one to call, or bother at 12:15am to get me a ride.

My gf said, "it's okay, you missed the flight" I told her," it's NOT OK!"  Why did I say that? She doesn't understand that I have to plan and set up everything, so I can leave for a couple months, and hopefully, nothing goes wrong. You know, "Murphy Law" What can go wrong, Will go wrong! It's not easy what I do, Sometimes!

I've to try again, or get me ticket reissued. My problem is that my ticket agent has a family problem and she's a one person show, so she can't help me here. I'm in Limbo now, : (

We shall see what can be done. If not, maybe later in late January.   

I'm Still In San Francisco!

Which is ok, and cool. Why, it's starting to get warm here in San Francisco. While the rest of the mid-west to the north east coast is snowing and freezing, we're enjoying the weather here. 

Kind of unfair, but that's why the real estate here is so expensive. If you want to live here (California), you'll have to pay the price. Higher wages, but higher rents, and housing cost. Yes, all the housing cost high, b/c of the high salaries, and cost of living here. Why does California survive, b/c the people, who lives here are versatile, and don't rely on only one industry.

I'm Ready To Go Tonight To The Philippines, If I Can Get On?

Yea, I'm going stand-by. That's my only chance to make it on. Hopefully, there's a no-show, then Rob can get on!  That's a Big MAYBE, b/c everyone is going to Hong Kong for Chinese New Year, and the flight that I'm going on is full of Chinese, so it's going to be tough. I believe that I can make it on. 

If not, then you,ll be hearing, or seeing posting from Rob  ;  )

If you don't hear from Rob, then Rob's on the plane heading for Hong Kong, then Philippines to visit the Maldita, RM!  Woman, with the bad attitude! Oh Well, I Love This Woman, aaahh, sometimes, when she's not acting up!    : )

P.S. I forgot, got to get those dental work done, so I can smile.   : o

For The Last Two Days.....................................

I worked cleaning up my resident. I clean up so much that I didn't go out yesterday. From 9am to 11:30pm, clean, clean, Clean, and CLEAN!

Why, you asked? I set a goal in the new year, that I'll clean up my place. It's starting to look good and with a lot of space to move around. What a relief! 

I asked myself, Why do I want to live like this? We're not slobs, but we're starting to live like it. I admit it. I got tired of it. I think it's not right to cheat yourself out of life. There's a quality of life we are talking about. Anyway, this year I planned to remodel my kitchen and bathroom, so it would be really good to clean up. It feels better this way, and I really like it!!!

Now, the tough part! To ask, NO I mean I'll tell him to clean up. And explain it to him to try to get him to change his overall mindset. I know it's not easy, since it's not his place. If he feels this way, then maybe he should be looking for a new place to stay and storage his JUNKS! That's what most of it is, and I'm not BULLSHITTING!!!

He's not going to ruin my quality of Life, so that he can store his JUNKS at my place. I told him on the phone, that this is a resident, not a warehouse or storage unit. Resident is for living in, not storing JUNKS!

Man, I'm tired!!  : (

Why I had That Problem On Sunday?

I realize that by putting up the security cameras. To protect the property, which is my main concern and goal. 

I, Also took away something that the next door neighbor and his fellow friends are doing. Hanging out and drinking. Eventually, they'll come back. Maybe they'll break the camera, that is forseeing them. The cameras are good in a way, and bad in a way. Depends on how you view it. If you're doing something bad, then no, you don't want the cameras there. If you're doing nothing bad, you don't mind, b/c the camera can help people. 

My friend's little brother acted very immature about the situation. Not having any results on how to change the situation. Not being reasonable, and telling me something, that he misintrept as invasion of privacy. He's in the public doing something illegal. He has to think about it. 

I'm disappointed that I know someone that is like this, and has not mature, eventhough, he's around late 30's to early 40's. I, just wondering when will he learn? Funny, all the guys that I grew up and went to school with in the Misson district are either in jail, dead, or a drug addict. Most of them have a child, never married, work sometimes, or don't work at all. 

I wish them all the luck in the world, as for me, I live LIFE!

Signing Out, 

Rob

Since The Security Cameras Are Up..................

I noticed that people are not hanging around that much. Today, there was no garbage out on the street corner, since it's garbage day.

The cameras work good. I saw my tenant go into his unit. That's good, b/c I can see and notice things. 

Hopefully, the taggers will leave our property alone, while I'm gone!  We shall see.........................

I hope to pick up a DVD recorder, so I can record daily. 

I Don't Believe What Happened Today!

As I was installing the security cameras, my long time classmate's brother came over to tell me that what I'm doing is illegal! It's a violation of his privacy. I said, "What?" I have a right to protect my family's property. In my mind, I don't think he know what he's talking about.  He's on the public street, and drink with his buddies on the property next door. His buddies could be tenants there, but not the landlord, b/c I known the landlord for years. 

Anyway, let get back to the story. Well, he started to get mad, and told me to remove it. He feels uncomfortable about it. I told him, I'm not looking at his friends. I like to know who's at my door, writing at the walls, or dumping trash in front of the house. I told him to call the police, and if they told me, I'll remove it. This is a civil matter, not criminal.  If he wants to sue, there's nothing I can do.  As he was getting madder, and madder, it was almost like he was going to hit me. As he approach me, I started to move back. I'm not scare, but don't want to stand there and get hit. Why would I allow him, or anyone to "just hit me." That ain't going to fly. What's sad about all this is that I have known this guy, since he had diaper on. I was difficult, b/c I don't want to (physical)  fight over nonsense (I did ask him for a solution, but he didn't give me any. I, just don't want the cameras there. Remember, he doesn't live here. He lives down the street) 

B/c I didn't act. He assumed that I'm scare, or afraid of him. That's not the case.  If he thinks he won, he's nuts! I'm approaching 50 in a year, and I'm going to start Shit? That's immature, really!  I talked to Leroy, and Ken, and Leroy told me, " You got to stay away from the FOOL!" A truly waste of time!. Ken told me, "Don't with these people!" 

What surprised me is that I didn't think the people I known for all these years, acted like this. Maybe, I'm just naive about it or stupid? Maybe, I, just matured alot through all these years. I learned to walk away from things, b/c they are meanless, and not worth my time. 

Maybe this is Karma, When I was an ASSHOLE! Now, it's coming back at me? This cause me to think about my life, and the way I was. To this day, I'm still correcting my self. I don't blame anyone. I DO BLAME MYSELF for some of the things I did. I'm no angel, but I'm no devil either. I go by the theory of "doing what I have to do." 

In my heart, I want to fight. My pride don't want to let it go, but I have to. When I got hurt, I felt very vunerable. I don't care how tough you are. If you get seriously injured, you can't do SHIT! No matter how tough, you are!

How I feel and view my life now: I'm learning and growing in my life. And I will continue to do so. I glad I met all the new wonderful people in my life. Life is wonderful, and it's more wonderful with Life With Rob, : )  GOD! I LOVE LIFE, and is the luckiest S.O.B. around. 

Thanks Mom and Dad!

Live and Learn,

Just Being Rob,  ; )

P.S.  If anyone have any good opinions on this, let me know.

I'm Still Here, Damn!

There's too much to do. I'm almost done, but I have to do some important things, before I leave.

From priming and painting the living room, cleaning up the messy place, buying things, picking up things, Insurance, bills, cell phone (finally, I got it suspended for 2 months), Setting up security cameras at the house (When I go on a long vacation, whether it's 1 month to 3 months. The house always gets hit with graffiti, and it spoils my coming home trip.

I'm almost ready to go!  ;)

Missed My Flight On Tuesday Morning

Yes, I did, and I didn't do it on purpose neither.  First, things got hecked. Like paying certain bills has to be paid 2 months in advance. Second, I was kind of bummed out, b/c of the gf's attitude.

On the last minute, I call my gf, and she told me to come. I told her, I didn't have any presents. She told me to just come! It was around 11:15am, and the flight leaves at 12:30am. What she doesn't realize that I have to drop my car off to my friend, in San Mateo to avoid getting tickets on my car. If I do that, I have to get a ride back to the airport. I can't get someone to drive me on such a short notice. And look at the time!

So, There's no way I make this flight

Overall, it was a bad day.

Going To The Philippines Tomorrow Night, Am I Excited???

Yes, I'm going to the Philippines. And No, I'm not excited about it. Maybe, b/c my gf is giving me grief and shit! Something I don't need. I'm starting to don't care about going anymore. 

Anyone that goes on vacation wants to relax and enjoy their time there. A big plus is with someone you care about or love. 

Since this was planned, I know, I'm going to miss mom, dearly. Mom's 94 in age, everyone. I'm just happy to see my mom sometime smile, which makes me very happy, : )

See everyone in 2 months?  

  : ?

Broked Out In Hives

Man, that's one thing I hated the most is breaking out in Hives. Can't get rid of it, until an hour + later. 

How did it get it? My roommate, Tom decided to make pizza. Usually, I make pizza out of scratch, but he wanted to make it.  Everyone knows that I loooooooooooovvvvvvvveeee Pizza, like almost everyone else. As you know, Pizza is World Famous and World Loved!  It was ok, but I mentioned to him, that his cost is quite high. Around $20.00 for only one pizza. I told him, he could buy his own at that price. He wanted to experience with the new pre-made dough. 

For $20.00, I think I can make about 6-8 pizza for the price. Now, this is from scratch!

ack to the Hives experience:

I think it's either the tomatoes sauce, or the pizza dough. The dough is from Pillsbury. I make my own pizza dough from using Gold Medal. I'm not sure what caused it. Sometime, I think it's this and it's not. I'll eat shrimps, crabs, and other things that makes people break out, sometime, Yes, and sometime, No!  I think it must be a combination of some of the foods.

Anyway, I HATE HAVING HIVES AND BEING ALLERGIC TO SOMETHING!  : (

Have Anyone Got Tired Of Hearing The Same Old SHIT?

Have Anyone Got Tired Of Hearing The Same Old SHIT?

Well, I have! And Maybe that's enough! 

Call this a gf, that's not a gf. A gf is someone that comfort, support, be there for you, NOT SHIT ON YOU! 

I called long distance, along with the cost, and I get shit! I keep hearing the same old SHIT! Again and Again. I told my gf, if you're trying to get rid of someone, you're doing a good job at it.  Accusing me of cheating, or talking with some girls. Wow, a serious case of cheating : 0,

She thinks that you can scare or threaten me, so I doesn't do that. What she doesn't understand is that her plan may just backfire on her. Unless she want me to leave? Why would someone do this? It's a game................... they play there in the Philippines. To see, how much you want or care about them. It's kind of immature. Kids' game. A case of insecurity. Of course, that's not what she thinks. Many woman do this to test men out. A test that they may or may not pass.

I don't need to be there, but if she can't appreciate someone coming to see her, then I think she has a big problem. I don't need to stay at her place, or need anything from her. Also, I told her, that for the money I send to you. What I spend on her, it'll cost less for me to spend outside. $1,000 USD, goes a loooooooonnnnnggg way in the Philippines, if you know how and where to spend it. I don't need to put up with this Shit! She might think it's funny, but I don't.

Also, with the money I spend there. I can have anything I want. What she can't give me is peace and quiet. I need to rest for the things I do, especially my damaged leg, that need rest to recover.

I'm sure there are other girls that would appreicate me and the things I do. Why stay with someone that don't appreicate and respect me. She needs to find someone that she can bash! Again, I have to repeat this: She need to find someone that she can abuse. :  (  

I'll starting to think that she's NUTS! Maybe, she got a mental problem, or something? Who knows, it's getting out of hand. Can you imagine, that someone is flying long distance to see someone, and that person give him Shit! Tolerate? jTolerate, MY ASS! YOU, Don't FUCKING KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!  FUCKING SHIT!!!

Who, in their right mind, would put up with her SHIT!  I won't allow it to go too far. Maybe, this is the future. A Big Problem!  Got to cut my losses and move on!

Sorry, everyone! Got to air this shit out!  Y'all have to excuse me and pardon my rudiness!

Signing Out!

Rob  : (               Oh, Shit!  What the FUCK!!!  Add a little more! I feel like shit! 

Have put in my 2 cents!

P.S. What I don't like is that I'm being force to make a decision, not other reasons. 

Cleaning Up Today and Yesterday. Tired As Shit!

Today, I'm tired from  yesterday too. All I did was clean, clean, clean and it's still messy. Got my roommate to clean up his mess. I'm pretty sure that he's upset. I told him, that if you're tired of clean up the mess now, it's only going to get worse, b/c you're going to bring more things, if I don't say anything or stop you. So, start now, before it's too late. 

If you don't want to do this again, don't start. That's it. I'm guilty of this bullshit too. It's difficulty, b/c of the upbring. You think things are rare, so you pick it up. Later you find out that there are many to go around. What a Sap! Or is that a sucker?  : O  

A New Year Has Arrived, 2009 Goals????

Hey, Everybody, or is Yo Everybody!

It's a new year now, so what are you going to do now? Set any good, to great goals, that you can't possibly reach. They have to be attainable, not I'm going to make a Million dollars this year, and I, just working a regular 9-5 job. Well, good "Fucking" luck. I hope you win the "Fucking" lottery, b/c it's very, very rare! 

For me, I started yesterday, and continuing today. First thing, first. I vowed to clean up my place and remodel my kitchen and bathroom. It's only right, and if I don't announce it. I'll never do it. 

Another one of my goal is to buy a house, and an apartment. I like to do commercial, but it's going to take some time to learn this. 

Knowing is one thing, doing is another. You can know alot of things, but one needs to execute to be successful in life. You NEED to Take ACTION!

My Wish for this year is:

Of course, I like my mom to live up to 100+ year. My mom looks young, and sometime, when I look at her. She's like a kid. She makes me laugh, eventhough, she can't talk or walk. 

The Robster loves his mom and his Maldita GF, RM!

What Are Friends?

My gf, RM, has so very  wise words:

If you keep making friends, there are alot of opportunities to make enemies!

(From Rob, The Wise One) Or If you didn't have friends, you wouldn't lose any money (Which mean there would be no one to borrow your money, so you won't lose it.  ; p!

The Wise One, also believes that if you want to keep your friends, don't expect much from them and you will not be upset, or mad at them and stop being their friend. Don't forget, it's you, who want or need them to do something for you. They didn't volunteer to do anything! It was you, who asked for help. 

Friends are great at time: you can have someone hear you out, cry on their shoulder, air out your bullshit, abuse them, belittle them, take advantage of them, 

As for me, I'm a very loyal friend to all my good friend, WHY??????

B/c   I'm, Just Rob ; )

P.S. to the other people, I don't like to burn bridges, and I like to be good to people, and no, no, No, I'm not all that! 

A Strange Thing Happened On New Year Eve? WHAT???

Didn't have much parties to go to, b/c I didn't want to pay. Of course, didn't have an dates as usual.

Got a call around 7pm about a small new year eve party at 16th Street, and guerrero. A small gathering of people that most of the people know each other. 

The food was mostly vegan like, sweet and wines, spirits, and other drinks. Like I said, a small party. Not exciting, but if you're not going to pay to go anyway, then you have to suffer, lol! ; p

Some people were exiting and Janet, whom I met this year, told me that everyone is going to this other party on 14yh Street around the corner. So me, and my roommate, Tom decided to go. When we arrived, Tom didn't want to go, b/c he figures that it's a small party. I saw someone go in and I followed. 

As I enter, I started on the first floor. Interesting, b/c the building is a 2 unit duplex. When you enter the premises, both units and connected. As I walked down this long hallway, I can see a large TV screen. It was showing a porn movie, and there were people on the couch watching. I noticed that the guy was masturbating, so I left. 

Still curious what this party was about and hopefully see someone that I, at least know, I continued to go upstair where the drums and playing. As I enter the room, there was a bunch of people crowding around, so I looked. Something is very strange here. I realized that there only men here, but no one that I seen a the other party. I looked to my left, and I saw a man giving oral sex to another man. I had seen enough! I walked down the stairs, and went out the door, and try to locate my roommate. I told him that you're lucky and smart you didn't go there. He asked Why? I gave him a couple of hints, then I told him. And I will have a word with Janet about the information that she gave me.

We went to have some pizza, which was across the street from the party on 16th street. As we waited for the pizza, I went back to the original party, and I saw Janet. I asked her how she got the information for this party. She told me that it came from one of her friend, who got it on the internet. Her friend, told her that anyone was invited. I told her that it was a gay thing going on over there and starting to laugh. I'm not surprised at too many things in life, b/c I live in San Franicsco, and I've seen all kind of shit,so nothing bother me. Rarely is anything strange to me. I[m from a strange City. 

And Btw,  I love this "Fucking City!"

HAPPY NEW YEAR, and have a PROSPER YEAR "2009", EVERYONEand EVERYBODY!!!
