Pen Thieves
What up with people stealing all of the pens here at work? I restocked the pens at the front desk a couple days ago. I must have brought about 30-40 up here. Now there are just a few. There was one guy that asked for a pen. I didn't mind becuase he asked, but most people just up and leave with them. Stop taking our pens!!!
Finding Money
I was doing my laundry earlier today and I was finding all sorts of money in my pockets. I found a $20 bill my jeans, and then a $5 bill in another pair of pants. There were other clothese with coins and $1 bills in them. What i'm wondering is, "How can I lose track of this money?" These are pretty big amounts.

A couple stops...
A couple of hours in the car and a couple of stops and naps later, I am finally home. The drive back here to SLO was so hard. It's a good thing that Yukiko was with me. I don't think I would have made it alone. I now officially hate driving at night. I need the daylight to keep me up. My eyes need to wander off in the distance and focus on other things while driving. In the dark, I can only see the road in front of my car and nothing off in the distance. We left about 1:00am-ish and then stopped in Gonzales, a Chevron in some city, a highway rest stop, and then Atascadero. I took a short nap at each place. I hope Yukiko wasn't bored. I think she stayed awake the whole time.
Computer Problems
I dread the trip back next week. I wasn't able to fix the computer, so I decided to bring the whole thing home to troubleshoot it. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is, but I know it's gonna take a while to fix it. I might just stay up there for the night and then drive home in the morning.

Japanese/Filipino guide
I came up to the Bay area today from SLO so that I could fix my brother's computer and ad stuff to it. But sinc eI was in the area, I decided to stop by the Japan Center so that I could get some food and stuff to bring back to SLO. I bought some stuff to make okonomiyaki (Japanese style grilled pizza/pancake) for a party that we're gonna have later at the english school. My friend Yukiko came with me and she wanted to buy a book from the Japaense bookstore, Kinokuniya. she was aloking for a Jpaanese Book on the Mandarin dialect of Chinese. While there she pointed out a Japanese/Filipino language guide. This was the most amazing thing. There were some Filipino words in there that I learned becuase knew the Japanese and some Japanese in there that I found out based on the Filipino. The book was small and a little expensive, otherwise I would have bought it. I think that the book would have made my mastery of both languages a little easier because I wouldn't be depending on English translation to get the languages down. I think I need to start becoming less dependent on English while trying to get back into the mix of Tagalog and a better start on Japanese.

Benedict
Yes, my blog today is about my name. It was brought about when I met a guest with the last name Benedict. I explained to him that I have never met anyone with the name Benedict with the exception of m dad. I've seen it as a last name as with his, but I have never met anyone with the same first name. I've never had the experience of calling someone Benedict.

Friends' Relationships
After having my own relationship problems, I am now noticing problems that my friend are having. They are now coming to me to ask for help, but there is none I can offer. I'm sorry to those of you taht are having the problems, but there really isn't anyhting I can do for you except console you. There are certain things that you need to work on with just time. Time will heal your problems.
A Year of Blogging
I didn't realize until now, but I've been Blogging for over a year.I've been writing since June 24, 2001. I can't believe that I've forgotten. I've been planning to write this Year of Blogging blog for a while, but it slipped my mind. I've been so busy recently that I can't get to doing the things I really want to do. I have so many hours of work to do. I think I have another 3 loads of laundry to do, but the question is, "When?" becuase I don't have time. I posted this Blog on June 25, but I am now writing it on June 28th. I've also noticed that my recent Blogs have been rather short. I used to write huge stories. I need to get back into the habit of writing daily. I have so many webpages that I need to publish as well.

26 Missed Calls
It's like, damn people. leave me alone. I only left my cell phone home for a couple hours and when I got home there were 26 calls and a bunch of voicemails. I had to work at 8pm, but I had to drive some people to a party at 7:45pm. In my haste to get out of the house, I guess I forgot my phone. I came back home at 1:45am and then looked at my phone. it was fully charged when I left and now the bar is down low. And also there were 25 phone calls to my phone in the couple hours that I had left it. I hate the thing and I can't live without it.

Slacking
Man. This updateof my site and others' sites have really backlogged me. I really want to catch up but time isn't working with me at the moment. Everyone need my help with driving, or computers, or just random things like taking them shopping. Even though I'm out of school for the summer, I am still finding it hard to find time. I would have thought that no school would have opened up more time for me, but I do realize that I am working a little more.
