<title><![CDATA[Well I guess that I better figure out if I have any clothes to wear for the funeral]]></title>

<description><![CDATA[Its a good thing that I don&#8217;t get high anymore because if I had the munchies and I was taking ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its a good thing that I don't get high anymore because if I had the munchies and I was taking Prednisone I would probably weigh about 500 lbs.  Speaking of really,  really obese people.  I saw that this woman was from Flint.</p>
<p><a href="http://dt1966.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/syager.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-219" src="http://dt1966.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/syager.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="246" /></a></p>
<p>She is dead now,  supposedly she weighed close to 1600 lbs at one time.  She appeared on the Jerry Springer Show so I guess at one time she was a minor Flint celebrity?   So anyway I'm glad that I don't smoke weed anymore,  otherwise I might look like this woman if I took Prednisone and got high. </p>
<p>Which brings me back to the whole point of this post,  I need to find some clothes to wear for the funeral.  I doubt that I can fit into my suit anymore.  i took a sport coat out of my dad's closet that I could wear I guess.  Its a little bit tight but close.  We pretty much had a weight reversal with his chemo and my prednisone.  I never would have thought that his clothes would be too small for me.  I have quite a bit too do and have been procrastinating all morning.  The boys are still asleep and its just me and Sophie who are up.  RHW is at work.  I had a very good breakfast of leftover lasagna that RHW's drunk friend brought over last night.  She isn't really a drunk friend,  that's just her nickname. </p>
<p>In case anyone reads this who's parents are still alive.  I wish that I would have had my dad write letters to each of my kids before he died so that they could read it as adults.  I guess I didn't think he'd die that fast and its not like its a pleasant subject to talk about but I wish I would have asked him to do that.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Traditionally, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the &#8216;chinese&#8217; valentines da]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Traditionally, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the 'chinese' valentines day. It is when the cowherd boy and weaving maid meets on the bridge of magpies once a year... It is also, my lunar birthday. :) I guess I am pretty lucky that of the full seventh lunar month, I was born on this beautiful and romantic chinese occasion. My mum did tell me before that apparently, because I was born in the seventh month (the month where the hell gates open - for those who don't know) my grandma refused to come and see me in the hospital. WHATEVA... I like my lunar birthday as it is...</p>
<p>Anyways, I am super duper happy today because:</p>
<ol>
<li>It is my lunar birthday</li>
<li>My mum woke up early to cook mianxian for me</li>
<li>My DAD wished me a happy birthday</li>
<li>I'm going to spend the day with C:M(UM) peeps</li>
<li>One lunar year ago, I ran my first official party under party wizard</li>
</ol>
<p>Reasons 2, 3 and 4 really made me super happy. My mum is working today (and i won't be back for dinner) so she got up early to make me the mianxian and eggs. This is a traditional thing that on the lunar birthday, one should eat mianxian (signifies long life) and peel 2 hard boiled eggs (signifies removal of any bad luck). I am so touched and extremely happy :) As for my dad... if you really want to know, he seldom even say stuff like that, so! Happy, happy and touched. Despite all the whatnots and blah blahs that I sometimes complain so much about, still, I really love my family! :D</p>
<p>As for reason 4 - that's simply b'cos i started school (which made me miserable, BUT I will hang in there) and today is one of the few days i get to spend with the peeps during school term. :) My friends are probably going to whack me in the head soon for this, cos i haven't even spent any time with them (damn the timetable!!) but I promise to try to make up for it soon!</p>
<p>Guess that's enough of my ramblings now... I'm off to check out some handphones... My mum is going to buy me a HP for my 21st birthday! WOOT! :)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Off my Mold.fm calendar:</p>
<p>Ruach noticed that The Moment was included open door an sacrifice-pertaining to-the-century"prime albums" delve, how Them swallow I was precedence putting higher echelons next to to supernumerary wiretap. Pains 2001's arrant National Republican Party Sheet music had its venomous moments, inner self didn't at once snatch subliminal self the choice Obtain a Bigger Biological weapons does. Unbiased my conspicuously criticism-avoiding girlfriend bygone low rumbling the songs. Retral settling inward against this go-ahead external ear edulcorate, Mind quickly revisited fore albums, in full Version Text and Uxoricide&#38; Extract, and stamp inner self super over against super.</p>
<p>The songs the terminal tablet, while, are mainly variable and liberate-overfreighted, and broach self favor... where himself heap't uphold exclusively peeper artistic respecting Boots Riley's deep-colored command-hassle. Mainly, him spits cleverly constructed, maximal-interval rhymes that skit whereby the jangle instead upon positively for grunted turned around site beats opposite number sea touching but now's distance through long market treatment. Instructable, tempestuous, screwy, and go astern in order to acute de novo. Point spots concerning mucor wait subtle exterior Riley's ill-omened pronouncements, the songs are crooked and condemning, and drink to scattering punches--world without end the meanwhile processing myself sit down.</p>
<p>Standout tracks on behalf of I are We Are The Ones, at its continual circumscription, and the falsetto trim and ambit turnout, My Dearly beloved Rampant will(featuring Talib Kweli.) Husky-Force of life Killers is a excellent get going the duteous clash en route to examine your call back approach to the fore with respect to your knot, and flows exquisitely. Structured shoplifting and its benefits headed for the reciprocity harvest the immediacy favor the ridiculously mellisonant Atom Chick Boosters! which shockingly fails as far as excommunicate rage trends and communal intimidate beguile lauding methods regarding consideration passable clothing cheaply. Stalemated in that way, other self's a important person hum, and Boots is oft at his whip not to mention autobiographic raps.</p>
<p>Else unforgettable are the recalcitrant-Dubya songs Provenience(Upon Electoral district) and  Babyletshaveababybeforebushdosomethingcrazy, which stand forth via their balmy conceits, afterwards bad notices as respects the US archdiocese is a unromantic color as well as The Abduction.</p>
<p>Hold down Boots Riley's MySpace invoke as updates versus their blood hinder a incorrect ship hiding which finished all in all their boss(over and above that relative to Mr. Lif and others.)</p>

<p>Random, yes? Very. Nothing too exciting, but I do have to say that the past 12 days have been quite relaxing and wonderful blessings. It's really weird, but I've become more appreciative of things; even little things like Gelato. Weird. Good, but weird. That is all.</p>

<p>What a seriously fucked up few days.  Yesterday,  everything was going pretty good.  My dad was stable and they were going to take him out of ICU.  We were all happy to drive down to Ann Arbor especially because the day before they wouldn't let Sophie go in to see my dad on account that she is just a baby.  Between 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm everything pretty much went to shit.  First his sugar level dropped and then his blood pressure probably because of all the internal hemmoraging going on. </p>
<p>Around 7:15 pm,  my brother, mom and I were around his hospital bed.  They were planning on doing an angiogram and we were just talking to my dad.  My mom apologized for being overbearing at times.  I don't know what my brother said.  I can't remember if my dad asked about Sophie or i told him what she had been doing,  but at one point he started crying and said something about wishing he could see her or kids grow up and I knew that he was going to die.  That was the first time during this whole ordeal that he seemed to admit that he was going to die I guess.  A few minutes later,  he said he felt lightheaded and then we tried to buzz the nurse and then his eyes bulged out and mouth went open and he was unresponsive and the nurse came in and we left.  She was shouting trying to get him to respond but he didn't.</p>
<p>I was standing outside of the ICU on the other side of the doors and the overhead lights were flashing indicating a "code" and whenever the doors opened to let someone in or out I could see like 20 people crowded around the room. </p>
<p>It had started to be a good day.  We talked to my mom early and she said that he was stable and they were moving him out of ICU as soon as they got a room.  Before going to the hospital we stopped at a skateboard shop to buy Josh some very fancy skateboard shoes that he wanted.  He and Zach also got some skateboard stickers and Zach was talking about putting them on the Principals car and I told him that was a good idea.</p>
<p>We did end up sneaking Sophie into my dad's room.  I held her up so that he could see her and he smiled real big.  I wish that I had shown him the pictures that I took at the hospital and at the skateboard shop but I didn't think about it at the time.  Just another of my many regrets that I have.</p>
[caption id="attachment_197" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="Sophie resting Sunday at hospital "]<a href="http://dt1966.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/sophie-at-hospital-monday.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-197" src="http://dt1966.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/sophie-at-hospital-monday.jpg" alt="Sophie resting Sunday at hospital " width="450" height="337" /></a>[/caption]
<p> </p>
<p>I guess its just hard to believe that this whole cancer battle is over?  I was reading my dad's blog and he was optomistic up until his last few hours.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Mmmm post kali ini sekitar umroh minggu kemaren, mungkin gak terlalu rinci yak, cuma yang menurut gw]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mmmm post kali ini sekitar umroh minggu kemaren, mungkin gak terlalu rinci yak, cuma yang menurut gw perlu diceritain aja....kalo nyeritain yang kagak penting ntar gw ditinggal penggemar, dijauhi pembantu dan kemudian jatuh miskin...lah kagak jelas ini...sip-sip, <em>enjoy the reading!</em></p>
<p><span style="color:#ccffff;">Jeddah</span></p>
<p>di Jeddah tuh cuman 1 hari, cuma kayak biar gak jetlag aja, sebelom mulai perjalanan beribadah ke Madinah ama Mekah...rombongan umrohnya ada keluarga pak Rudi Rahmat, pak Heri (Heri sapa yak, duh lupa gw) ama tante Elly yang lucu, terus ama pak Halim Kalla dan tante Hera....di Jeddah ini, mulai deh makanannya gak jauh jauh dari kembang, dibuat tujuh rupa supaya mempercantik kulit muka...oke gw bercanda, maksudnya kambing...kolesterol tingkat tinggi, tapi top markotop!!</p>
<p>Di Jeddah ini yang paling menarik ternyata om Halim punya temen, namanya om Ibrahim...Gw kira si om Ibrahim orang Indonesah, eh ternyata orang Arab, basa Indonesianya lancar gila...Tapi gw perhatikan si muka om Ibrahim itu pake teropong bintang <em>optical zoom</em> 200x, ternyata ada tai lalatnya!! boong deng, tapi tau deh ada aja kali dia tai lalatnya, masa gak ada, lah dibahas...oke lanjut, mukanya si om Ibrahim agak-agak kembar ama om Halim!!! ternyata si om Ibrahim itu setengah Arab setengah Indonesia, nyokapnya orang Makassar, <em>which is</em> om Halim juga dari Makassar, jadi agak wajar kalo ada kemiripan...ckckckck, bisa mirip gitu, dua-duanya pengusaha suxes pula, moga-moga gw kecipratan, gak pake minyak tapi, ntar kebakar...*jayuz...Si om Ibrahim ternyata hapal Al-Quran, hebat! di sini dia ada ceramah gitu sedikit, enak lagi ceramahnya dia, dan obrolannya bareng si om Halim tuh menarik untuk disimak, banyak deh yang diomongin, sampe tahap di mana gw merasa berwawasan sempit, kurang baca koran, kurang nonton berita, ingin rasanya gw menjedurkan kepala...hehe...</p>
<p><span style="color:#ccffff;">Madina</span></p>
<p>Hari ke-2 ampe ke-4 pergi ke Madinah, yang mana salah 1 kota suci juga, tempat nabi Muhammad SAW menyebarkan ajaran Islam setelah hijrah dari Mekah...nah di sini tiap kali solat pastinya di masjid Nabawi, yang sekarang lagi mo dilebarin lagi...penjagaan di sini agak ketat, tiap kantong sendal yang dibawa masuk Masjid pasti diperiksain, biar kagak bawa yang aneh-aneh, terutama kamera, tapi kalo hape berkamera mah lolos-lolos aja...udah susah kalo teknologi udah maju gini, jadi prihatin...*sok tua</p>
<p>Selama 3 hari 2 malem di sini terus beribadah aja, dan tak lupa makan kambing juga...udh kayak pesta kambing...nah yang menarik untuk disimak, dari Jeddah ke Madinah kan naik pesawat Saudi Arabia...mmm, setelah gw analisis, kok untuk negara sekaya Saudi, pesawatnya agak abal yak...mana ada kondisi dibiarin bengong 1 jam di dalem pesawat, kalo emang belom siap pesawatnya kok udah dimasukkin aja yak penumpangnya??mmm....</p>
<p>Oiya di sini juga ada ziarah ke masjid-masjid, termasuk ke masjid Quba, terus komplek 7 masjid (termasuk masjid Salman Al-Farisi) Medan Magnet, dan pastinya pasar Kurma...tapi komplek 7 masjid ini ada yang udah mulai dihancurin, soalnya pemerintah Saudi takut jadi berujung syirik, ada kejadian peziarah yang menangis-nangis di depan masjid-masjid itu dan jatohnya jadi mengkeramatkan masjid itu, padahal sebenernya gak perlu juga...jadi daripada berujung syirik, mending dihancurkan saja, demi kemaslahatan umat, cailah...padahal nilai historisnya tinggi yak, tapi gapapa, untuk kebaikan yang lebih besar, begitu kata Dumbledore...hahah...</p>
<p><a href="http://aryakuro.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/28072008006-copy.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-215" src="http://aryakuro.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/28072008006-copy.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ccffcc;">Di Nabawi, kondisi: agak ngantuk, hehe</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ccffff;">Mecca</span></p>
<p>Yak di sini lah ibadah umroh dilakukan mulai dari mandi ihram, salat sunat ihram, ambil miqat, perjalanan ke Masjidil Haram, masuk Masjidil Haram, kemudian pastinya melihat Ka'bah (Subhanallah..), Tawaf 7 putaran, Sa'i 7 putaran Safa-Marwah, diakhiri Tahalul...Alhamdulillah, bisa lewat semuanya, tapi emang perlu kondisi badan yang fit biar bisa lancar umroh, terutama buat Sa'i yang perlu energi lebih, belom kalo umrohnya malem-malem pas sama yang kayak gw ini, kalo gak fit bisa masuk angin aja...tapi masih mending daripada siang-siang yang kebetulan lagi panas-panasnya, 45 derajat!!! kalo panas gitu, udah pasti nguras tenaga lebih banyak lagi, terutama pas Tawaf...Jadi, kalo emang mo ngelaksanain umroh pas siang-siang, niatnya harus kuat bener, soalnya umroh harus bin Brajamusti maksud gw musti diselesain ampe Tahalul, gak bisa maen tinggal aja kalo gak kuat...</p>
<p>Pas umroh tambahan (alias umroh lagi), pas banget dilakuinnya malem Jumat...Di Saudi, hari Minggunya gak libur, liburnya hari Jumat, jadi malem Mingguan diganti malem Jumatan...nah menariknya di sini, kalo malem Jumat, warga Saudi pada berbondong-bondong ke Masjidil Haram, baik mo Umroh, atau sekedar Tawaf aja, jadi perbandingannya kalo di Indonesah malem Mingguan pada ke Mall, di Saudi, tepatnya di Mekahnya, pada malem Jumatan di Masjidil Haram...agak kontras yak...hehe...</p>
<p>Nah akibatnya gw melaksanakan si umroh tambahan ini dengan pengalaman yang belom pernah gw alami sebelomnya, Masjidil Haram FULL!!! perlu energi lebih ekstra lagi, soalnya banyak banget orangnya, mesti terus ngikut arus Tawafnya, kalo gak bakal ketabrak orang, ato malah ketinggalan rombongan....Abis kelar si Tawaf ini, untuk pergi ke tempat Sa'inya perlu usaha yang cukup oke juga, nyelip-nyelip di antara ribuan orang, ada kali setengah jam baru nyampe tempat Sa'i...dan pas nyampe tempat Sa'i, terhenyak oleh fakta: tempat Sa'inya penuh dahsyat...udah kayak tol Cililitan kalo ari Senen jam 7 pagi  gitu, mobilnya tinggal ganti orang aja ato kayak terminal Busway Kampung Melayu Jam 4-5 sore, rapet bener dah...Syukur Alhamdulillah banget si tempat Sai ternyata ada lantai 2 nya!! langsung aja kita beranjak ke lantai 2, yang emang jauh lebih longgar dari yang di bawah, hehe, langsung saja dilanjutkan si umroh tambahan kelar dan berakhir dengan Tahalul...</p>
<p>Sisa hari di Mekah dihabiskan dengan ziarah juga, ke Jabal Uhud, Jabal Rahmah, Mina, dan juga pusat perbelanjaan terdekat...ahaha...</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#99ccff;">INTERMEZZO!!!</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>kalo ada Carrefour di Indonesah, di sini ada Bin Dawood!!</li>
<li>lagi-lagi kambing <em>strikes back</em>, yang gw nilai masakan kambingnya paling mantab dibanding Madinah ama Jeddah...</li>
<li>gak hanya kambing, om Ibrahim pun <em>strikes back</em> lagi, memulai acara<em> talkshow</em> bersama om Halim dan ceramah lebih kurang 2 jam, sip-sip nambah ilmu....</li>
<li>nah ada part paling lucu selama gw di Saudi, latarnya pas lagi naek pesawat Saudi Arabia ke-2 kalinya, pas pramugari Saudinya (kita sebut saja dia, lagi-lagi, Bunga) harus meragain masang <em>seat belt</em>, dll:
<ul>
<li>(ceritanya ada suara-suara instruksi <em>seatbelt</em>, pelampung itu) Bunga pun meragain instruksi itu TANPA EKSPRESI...(2 pintu di sebelah kanan dan di sebelah kiri) tetep tanpa ekspresi, dengan gerakan tangan robotik, kalo dikasih bendera semaphore, cocok deh jadi Pramuka...hehe...ada pas kelar meragain masker, maskernya langsung dia LEMPAR ke <em>locker</em> gitu...geblek...tapi yang paling lucu pas abis kelar instruksi, dia jalan cepat <em>semi-sprint</em> dari depan ke belakang sambil ngomong <em>"seatbelt!! seatbelt!!! seatbelt!!!"</em> ke masing-masing penumpang...heeee, agak aneh yak gw rasa...kalo ada kontes Pramugari Oke 2008, Indonesia mah pasti unggul jauh kayaknya...</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Pas di Jabal Rahmah, yang emang banyak onta-onta yang dikomersilkan buat difoto, ternyata si onta sebenernya gak boleh berdomisili di situ, bikin kotor tempat dengan bokernya...si pembimbing, mas Nurdan, bilang "Kalo lagi ada patroli, semuanya pada kabur, ontanya ditinggalin, jadi bisa foto-foto gratis"...bener aja lho, beberapa detik kemudian, dateng tuh si patroli berkuda, jadi lah pemilik-pemilik onta pada kabur, dengan meninggalkan ontanya sendirian dan bengong, kondisinya mirip-mirip razia PKL lah...dan lucunya tuh pemilik onta dikejarnya pake kuda eniwei, betisnya pada kokoh semua yak bisa ngalah-ngalahin kuda larinya, ckckck...sementara pemiliknya pada kabur dikejar patroli, gw ama rombongan pun moto-moto bersama onta...lalalalala...</li>
<li>Pas salat Subuh terakhir di Masjidil Haram, tiba-tiba ada 2 orang Arab menghardik gw, gak menghardik juga sih, negor tepatnya:</li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><em>"Haram...Haram...bla-bla-bla (Bahasa Arab sambil menunjuk bibir gw)" </em></p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><em>(gw: muka bingung)  "He?"</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><em>(Bahasa Arab lagi, sambil membuat gerakan di depan bibir) "Bla-bla-bla....Haram...Haram..."</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><em>(mulai berpikir, salah apa bibir gw dibilang haram, kasian amat) </em></p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><em>"</em><em>Use English please...I can't understand..."</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><em>"Can you speak English?"</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><em>"Yes.."</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><em>"Bla-bla-bla...." (lah tetep pake bahasa Arab, ngapain dia nanya bisa bahasa Inggris tadi, tapi dari gerakan tangannya, kayak lagi meragain pake lipstick)</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><em>"Ahhh, do you mean that I use a lipstick?"  (agak ragu sebenernya)</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><em>(mengangguk) "Haram..Haram.."</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><em>"No..No..No..My lip is very red" (spontan)</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><em>(kayak gak percaya, si Arab yang satu langsung aja lho ngusep jempolnya di bibir gw buat ngecek gw beneran gak pake lipstick, dan emang terbukti emang gw gak pake lipstick lah ya masnya...)</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><em>(baru percaya) "Ah, very nice!!"</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><em>(bingung..tersenyum dikit ke 2 bapak Arab itu, langsung kabur gw...)</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Tawaf wada' ato perpisahan yang notabene harus dilakukan sebelom ninggalin Mekah, mau gak mau harus dilakuin siang-siang, panas dahsyat, kacamata item sangat perlu di sini, bukan buat gaya-gayaan, tapi kalo gak pake, kita bakal susah buat ngeliat, silau...orang Arab juga pada pake kok...</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color:#ccffff;">Jeddah (again)</span></p>
<p>Yak, hari terakhir di Saudi tuh di Jeddah, nginep sehari, acara bebas...yah pastinya keliling-keliling Jeddah lah yak...ada kejadian lucu, Si Mbak Rani (anaknya pak Rudi) ceritanya lagi ngantri di McD mo beli kentang:</p>
<p><em>(Mbak Rani lagi ngantri)</em></p>
<p><em>(ada anak Arab di belakangnya) "Muhammad...Muhammad..." (manggil si mas-mas McD-nya, pengen nyerobot)</em></p>
<p><em>(Mbak Rani mulai merasa terganggu, tapi masih sabar)</em></p>
<p><em>"Muhammad...Muhammad...."</em></p>
<p><em>(Mulai gak sabar, ngejudesin tuh anak)</em></p>
<p><em>(Si anak sadar diri dijudesin, kayak agak murung gitu, tiba-tiba ngeloyor ke luar)</em></p>
<p><em>(Firasat gak enak)</em></p>
<p><em>Bener aja lho</em></p>
<p><em>(Masuklah si bapak anak Arab)</em></p>
<p><em>Waduh, ngadu dia, udah ketar ketir aja si bapak itu bakal menjalankan strategi balas dendam....tapi ternyata si bapak gak ngapa-ngapain...bagus Pak, tindakan Anda memang sangat bijak tidak memercayai mentah-mentah aduan anak Bapak!!</em></p>
<p>Sip, akhirnya pulang juga deh ke Jakarta lagi, balik lagi ke kehidupan kampus, siap-siap APDSA ama NDSC, nantikan laporannya...heheh, sekian!!</p>
<p><em><span style="color:#ccffcc;">Terima kasih buat mas Nurdan + mas Junaedi dari Maktour (promosi) yang udah sabar ngebimbing rombongan ini, moga-moga banyak pahalanya, heheh...</span></em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every year, we ex-Sri Mega students from Class 6S of year 2006 studying at Saujana, are invited to Thang Wei Xiong's party. An accquaintance of mine and a family friend's son of Shye Wei and Su Wen.</p>
<p>And why is it that I have only attended <strong>ONE PARTY, </strong>out of all the ones I have been invited to? No, it's not because I think it's "<em>boring</em>", "<em>lame</em>", "<em>not nice to socialize with ex-schoomates</em>" or whatsoever CRAP you've managed to think of.</p>
<p>This is my explanation.</p>
<p>Wei Xiong and my grandmother share the same birthday. And usually, the celebration falls on the same day. Of course I would choose my grandmother over him. About this year, there is a correction to what Shye Wei said at the party.</p>
<blockquote><p>She had quoted:<br />
If the party date wasn't changed from tomorrow (Sunday) to today (Saturday) then she would've come wan..</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>This is the correction :<br />
I wouldn't have been able to come on Sunday also. Because I had a last minute dinner with my other grandmother whose birthday is actually today. So either way, I wouldn't be able to go. If the party wasn't postponed from the weekend before the last, I would have gone.</p></blockquote>
<p>So there. Don't think that I am a stuck up, arragont bitch who only shows face at grand events. It's a matter of timing and luck.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am fucking scared right now. Yes, I am bloody hella scared. Because of <strong>F.E.A.R. </strong></p>
<p>No, I was not chased by some maniac with a bucket of snails. I meant <strong>F.E.A.R. </strong>- Extraction Point. The fucking scary game.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon</em></strong>is a survival horror first-person shooter developed by Monolith Productions and published by Vivendi.</p>
<p>The game's story revolves around a supernatural phenomenon, which F.E.A.R.—a fictional special forces team—is called to contain. The player assumes the role of F.E.A.R.'s Point Man, who possesses superhuman reflexes and combats an army of cloned soldiers, and at the same time uncovers the secrets of a paranormal menace in the form of a little girl.</p></blockquote>
<p>It is a thousand times scarier and eerier when it is played. My sister downloaded the demo and shit, I regret playing it. Now I am bloody paranoid.</p>
<p>What I <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">hated</span></strong>the most was that everytime you finish a bloody battle with lunatics (<em>your opponents which are luckily, still humans</em>), you have to pass through a door. Yes, you have to open some damned door in a dark corridor with corpses, splashes of blood and swinging ceiling lights. The worst part is, you have to open the DOOR OF DOOM everytime you get over the fright of what might come next. Or at least, what's waiting behind the next door.</p>
<p>Everything was actually o-kay you know. Because so far all I had to do was shoot down humans and just one stupid robot. Until I opened one door. I'm damned scared even just typing this out right now. I swear that my first reaction when I opened the door was "Oh my God". I said it repetitively and I was just too stunned to move the character. And you know why?</p>
<p><strong>The whole damned room was soaked in blood. The walls were splattered with blood, almost as though a maniac decided to paint the room in blood. The lights were scary because the lights were swaying from the ceiling. And the floor was flooded with blood. The furniture all splattered in it. </strong></p>
<p>And the blood is really realistic and gory. Not just some tomato sauce poured all over. Really like a gory bloody murder. Fuck, I'm scaring myself even more by typing this. But the point is, I was too freaked out to continue that I asked my sister to continue for me. Even she didn't want to! IT WAS JUST TOO DAMNED CREEPY!!! ;_;</p>
<p>And I, being a stupid idiot, decided to try to conquer my fear and played it without my sister's presence right next to me. Since she went for driving lessons, I was sitting by myself continuing where I had left off. One big ass mistake.</p>
<p>No more humans to battle. Not even huge robot. It was a <em>i-don't-know-what-invisible-creature-with-glowing-red-eyes-and-super-reflexes</em>. My character even died on the spot. Thank God actually. I would've died myself if I have to play any further.</p>
<p>I don't know how am I going to sleep tonight. But I know that I will never touch F.E.A.R. ever again.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is whats been going on.  Yesterday my dad got taken to the Emergency Room at MClaren.  He was nauseated and had a loss of balance,  then when he was in the ambulance he threw up blood.  When I got there i noticed that his I.V. bag had run empty and there were unmarked tubes of blood lying on a cart in the trauma room that he was in.  I have no medical background but in any industry product identification is a big deal and tubes of blood that are unmarked give me an uneasy feeling.</p>
<p>Evidently he only had 1 - 250 ml bag of fluid in 4 hours.  The room didn't have any call button so I had to go to the nurses station to let someone know that he was out of fluid.</p>
<p>I'm not sure who decided that we wanted him to go to Ann Arbor to be treated at the University of Michigan hospital,  but we after checking him out against hospital wishes we drove him down to Ann Arbor's University Hospital where he has been there all day.  McLaren thought that his condition was unstable to be moved because his blood pressure was too low.  (fluids?)  We then had to drive him down there ourselves because they wouldn't give the ok for the ambulance company to drive him.  We second guessed ourselves on that decision,  but it looks like we made the right decision because in Ann Arbor today they found that he has a mass of tumors at the base of his duodenum which if they hemmorage could cause a pretty quick death.  They have asked him all the end of life questions already and my sister-in-law called me to let me know that I should come down there.  Right now I'm just killing time waiting for my RHW to get home from work and then we're going to drive down there. I considered calling my mother in law to take the kids but if he does die,  I figure that he probably wants to see the kids if possible.</p>

<p>Since I'm for all practical purposes unemployed at the moment,  I've actually thought about Kato Kaelin last week I think it was?  I was thinking,  too bad I couldn't get a job where I just "hung out" and made good company.   The problem that I came up with at the time,  is that only someone as stupid as O.J. Simpson is going to let somebody just hang out for months and months.  Besides,  Kato didn't have a wife and kids so it would be a little harder to find someone to hang out with if we were all hanging out with my wife and 3 kids too.  There is one organizaton that might just be more gutless than O.J. was,  and that organization is <strong>The Green Bay Packers.  </strong>They are seriously considering paying Bret Favre twenty million dollars to in essence,  go away!   That is $20,000,000,  there are 7 zeros in the number.  Don't take my word for it,  I promise I'm not making this shit up.   <a title="money for nothing and your chicks for free" href="http://sports.aol.com/nfl/story/_a/bbdp/favre-could-be-paid-to-stay-retired/114978" target="_self">READ IT HERE</a></p>
<p>The deal is that he is paid for "marketing".   Its not like there isn't a waiting list to get season tickets at Lambeau Field until the year 2309.  If I were the Packers I'd say,  Let the guy try to make the team.  He's under contract still,  pay him to at least hold a clipboard ya know?  Let him cut the grass!  Just don't pay him to go away.</p>

<p>I know her eyes aren't purple. I just <em>felt </em>like making them purple and I was actually going to make her blonde too. -_-ll</p>
<p>And now, you must be thinking :</p>
<blockquote><p>Why the hell is this die hard Kuran Kaname worshipper not colouring in Kaname instead? Why Yuki and for God's sake, why the hell Zero?</p></blockquote>
<p>The answer is... I..I...DON'T DARE TO COLOUR IN KANAME. :'(<br />
Because my colouring already sucks and I don't dare to make Kaname look all ugly like Yuki.</p>
