10/07/1980=31 year old=OLD!

Next Friday will be my 31th Birthday. Am I excited about my birthday? NEVER! I do not like being old. I am probably the oldest single man out there in the Bay Area, which sounds very ridiculous.

I am going to split my birthday celebration in two days. The day of my birthday I’ll be checking out the planes flying over Golden Gate Bridge for fleet week. Last year my friend and I were able to catch them fly over the bridge. What was funny was that me and her were walking across the bridge when they were flying over us.

Later that night I am going to attend NightLife at Academy of Science. I love going to NightLife. It only cost $12 to attend. It is the only time that I won’t see any crying children around.

Friday morning I am going to have breakfast at Bettie’s Diner in Berkeley. I love their pancakes. They make it big and very fluffy.

My friend and I are going to have a birthday dinner. She gets off from work at 4:30pm. We’ll probably go to have dinner in Vallejo. I know this one place that I been wanting to try out. Hopefully me and her will agree to eat there.

Wish my luck on turning 31 year old. I surely am not going to age a year older.

Five Years Later I Am Still Here

I would not image that I am still working at Sam’s Club. September 29 was my fifth year working at Sam’s Club. I started out working in Jewelry and I transfer to Photo May 2009.

Within the five years that I been at Sam’s Club there was only three times that I wanted to leave the place. On May 2009 I apply for Anchor Blue in Hilltop Mall. I did not get my interview because schedule conflict. The person that was suppose to interview thought I was not flexible on getting my interview. It sucks for them because they went out of business later that year

The same month I apply for Picture People in Sun Valley Mall. I did not even get the darn interview because the person that was suppose to conduct it was very busy. It was good that I did not get the interview because that place is horrible to work at. They are very swamp with people wanting to get their pictures done plus they forget to tell people the copyright form is in the CD they purchase. Beside the pictures that is burn onto the CD is horrible resolution. I never seen resolution very fuzzy.

In the exact same month I also apply for Costco. The manager that works in Optician got me the interview. What was crazy is that they were hiring for the Food Court. Thankfully the manager that interview me thought I was over qualified for it. Lucky I was not hire. I really wanted to work in Photo since I have experience. Hopefully in the future if there is an opening for Photo I will definitely apply for it. Costco is still in mind if I want to work for them.

How long will I be at Sam’s Club? Hopefully until something better comes up. I want to survive to earn money for college. We’ll see where my future will take me.

Thirty-One on October 7

It has been one month since the Fall Semester at San Francisco State University began. My classes are going good. I am keeping up with the assignments that are due the day of class. Even though reading pages that are due the day of the class is boring I force myself to do it or else I will fail miserable. I can’t fail the course. No big essay has been assign yet thankfully.

My birthday is on October 7. What I’ll be doing is the same thing I did last year but better. I want to have breakfast in Berkeley. There is a good diner that makes the best pancake. In between breakfast and dinner I want to hang out at Marin. I know a great place to walk along the water downtown. You can see a great view of the islands and bridges. For dinner I am going to eat at this nice Thai restaurant. Afterward if I do get tickets I want to attend De Young Museum. Friday night at the De Young is amazing. Live music and lots of adults attending.

Let just hope my plans go ahead as I wanted it to be. If I fail then I will be miserable. I hate being miserable.

Farewell Speech (Spring 2004)

Today I bump into a classmate I had seven years ago at Diablo Valley College. It was surprising that she remember me. I just thought I would post a farewell speech seven years ago.

Speech 120 - Farewell Speech
Publish May 24, 2004 (Speech 120 Spring 2004)

Mr. Phalen's Speech 120 at 10am was the best class I have took at Diablo Valley College. It was the first class on the first day of the Spring semester 2004. I took speech for a transfer requirement. I thought it would be tough like the classes at Contra Costa but it turn out to become an entertaining class to attend.

I got to know everybody name without forgetting it. It was probably the only class I had in which I remember everybody name. We were like a family. We talk to each other got along without getting on each other nerve. Hear everybody speeches and got to know them by it. Found everybody speeches interesting and entertaining.

On May 24, 2004 at 10:30am I did my final farewell speech for Mr. Phalen's class. It was hard for me to type my speech due to what I wanted to say about my class. At least I got a A+ on it and extra credit as well. During my speech I presented Mr. Phalen with an award for being the best instructor for the Spring 2004 semester. The reward was an oscar award brought at Suncoast Motion Picture store. Here is a example on what I said during my farewell speech

Farewell Speech

This class did a lot for me for a person who is attending Diablo Valley College for the first time. I found this class very interesting and entertaining. I use this class as a way to tell you stories about myself in my speeches. I told everyone about my experience I had at a party that my co-worker threw, persuade you about Netflix (online movie rental) and abusing it by burning DVDs legally at home. You got to know me as an entertaining person. You found out who I would go out with in this class but there are more women in this class that I want to go out with but you won’t find out since this is the last day of class.

I am going to miss everyone in this class. I especially going to miss Maria for her speech about spanking, Francis for his speech about rice, Shaun for his striptease on one of his speeches, James for being such a dork (not Jazzy James), Walter for his love for Jessica Alba (she’s a babe compare to Hilary Duff who is too young for me and not a cutie), and everyone else who I could not mention. If I could give everyone an award I could. Everyone would get the best speech award. I for example should get an award for being best dress.

This is the best class I had this semester and it is all thanks to Mr. Phalen for making this class great. You are the best instructor I had here and thank you for making my first semester here a great one.

To conclude my speech is that I am going to miss this class. This won’t be the last time we’ll see each other. We’ll meet again someday. We can keep in touch by exchanging numbers or e-mail addresses. I don’t know when or how but I have a feeling we’ll meet again.

Fall 2011 Semester, Third Year, Last Year?

I am apologizing for not posting any blogs. I have been busy with my job. Also I have not thought of anything I could mention on Blogger. It is hard to post anything that I don’t know what to say. I’ll try to make this a weekly thing.

Tuesday August 23 I start my Fall 2011 Semester at San Francisco State University. This semester I am paying out of my own pocket. For a part time student it is about $2000 for a semester. With that kind of money I could buy myself an Apple Computer.

I am only taking two classes. Luckily the books for one of my classes I only spend $65. Now I need to do is not spend a lot of money.

My mission for this semester is to pass two of my classes with an A. All I need to do is kick ass in both of my classes by attending and doing the work (participation and turning in assignments on time).

I need to improve my GPA up to a 2.0. I want to stay at SFSU but I need to save up money to pay for my classes.

Leave Me Alone Or Pay The Price

I am apologizing for not posting any blogs. I have been busy with my job. Also I have not thought of anything I could mention on Blogger. It is hard to post anything that I don’t know what to say. I’ll try to make this a weekly thing.

Facebook is the place to keep in touch with people. It is also the place to post pictures and say funny status on what you’re doing. What I don’t get is why whenever I post a picture on Facebook or say anything on my status is haunts me back.

Twice already someone on Facebook had told management about it and I get in trouble. What I don’t get is why can’t anything I do on Facebook stay on the site. It is getting childish for people that I work with not tell me what I am doing wrong in my face. Aren’t we all grown ups?

The internet is meant to socialize with others from different places in the world. People love to buy stuff online. If I can’t be in private with myself then I should not be a friend with these people.

As of right now what I say on the internet stays private and not mention to anyone except for family and close friends. If you can’t be friends with me then don’t talk to me. We are all adults and we need to act like one.
