Merry Christmas to all of you today! By the way, I got an email from one of my net friend. His name is Tom. He lives in Canada. Anyway, he knows me well that I love cats so much and he sent me these adorable cat pictures. The picture of title is "How to store your cats?". Well, I don't have 7 cats yet, but have 3 cats and never thought that how should I store all my kids. You know, they sleep the place anywhere they like and it never bothers me that they do so. But I will probably think about how to store my kids whether they like or not. It's gonna be a cat hell for them? (LOL)

What are you thankful for? I’m definitely thankful that I still have a job. I say that my job is the by far the best job I’ve ever had even that is a part time position. However, if I don’t get at least 30 hours in a week, and then that is not bearable at all. I have to make a living now because my husband just got lay off last week! Anyway, if you’re thankful to your job, and then what is your job? I just cannot stand with general clerical job. That is sedentary as well as tedious. You don’t think so? I can see you who are fighting off sleep at the office till 5 pm. Aren’t you one of them, are you? (LOL) I also just cannot stand with incompetent workers. Their lackadaisical attitude just cannot neither make any decision nor work fast and accurately. They just tick me off at times! Just so you know, I neither backstab. If I say so myself, I’m pretty up front with people! Any who, I love my job and will keep my job till they say you’re too old to work with us! (LOL)

Do you have a car and drive? What I'm trying to say here is if you drive a car, your car must have good tires! Having good tires is not only safe but also can save your life and your passengers lives as well.

According to Rubber manufactures association, as many as 28 million vehicles on the road right now has at least one bald tire and 64% of people who drive a car has no idea how to check the tire if it's bad. The average life of a tire is around 40,000 miles and when you replace the tires, good tires go to the back axle and worn tires go to the front axle. All you need is a quarter and a penny.

First take quarter and place the Washington's head down on a tire. When you can see the Washington's top head, you start thinking about shopping to buy a new tire. (Image)

Next, take penny and place the Lincoln’s head down on a tire. When you can see the Lincoln’s top head, it is the time to replace the tire. That tire is warned out! (Image)

Sometimes I wonder about my life. I need a small life, but it's a valuable one, like do I like my job I have now. Yes, I think I like it. It's by far the job I've ever had. Recently I got a raise and I'm pretty happy with it. How about my marriage with the man? Do I really love him and should I keep my marriage with the same guy? Well, I think I love him and should keep my marriage with him. You know my man works very hard to support us financially and he loves me anyway. (LOL) What else do I wanna say about my life or wish for in my life if I could have this and that? Well, I have many wishes in my mind, but you know what, the most important thing in my life is, enjoying my life with beloved one till I die.

What does Christmas mean to you? I know you decolate house with a beautiful Christmas ornaments and baking cookies, buying presents for your beloved one or friends. But is that all about Christmas? For me, the Christmas is a time to look at your life with a big magnifying glass, and then when you found out that you have nothing in your life, the Christmas will overwhelm to you. It's so sad, isn't it if that is your Christmas? However, I still believe that the Christmas is able to make some miracle. I don't know how it could happened, but who knows? God only knows. That is matter for me. So, I just wanna enjoy my life with this holiday sprit and let's live it up!

Have you ever had an negative experience buying things from online? I live in a mountain town, so it's pretty hard to find something I want to, not like city! So, I still buy something from online. However I've been very careful when I purchase things from oline with credit card. You don't want to be stolen your credit card number by totally stranger, right? Here is some interesting number from online shopping. You might consider who are they talking about. (LOL)

* Love buy from online

* Won't buy from online

* Never buy from online

* Why buy from online?

OMG! My hubby Greg had caught 4 fish today! There is No need to mention, Greg is so happy right now, but my heart really goes out to them! You know, they were enjoying with their fish life and swiming around just like another day. I bet it never came into their mind that today would be their last day. (LOL) BTW, I didn't go to the fishing with him this time. It's because I got off work at 7 am morning today and really needed to sleep. Anywho, I took the picture of the fish that was the biggest one among others and here it is! How about that? The fish was a rainbow trout and the size was about 15 - 1/2" long. Don't you think that fish is very beautiful, isn't it?

I think this is part of the crazy western culture in US! It's called "Black Friday!" The Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving Day. People go on a shopping spree on that day because most of products are marked down for Black Friday! On that day, all retail store will expect to make a huge profit. Well, I don't go on this yet, but it's pretty cool holidy ritual in the US. That's for sure! Some economist predict that average consumer will spend at $682 in 2009. That is a little bit less than 2008 that consumer spent money at $704.

I always wondered what kind of jobs are popular in the US and makes money a lot. (LOL) Well, none of jobs I found out is not my job. However, those jobs make your life better. That's for sure!

* Top 50 Jobs - 01 to 10

* Top 50 Jobs - 11 to 20

* Top 50 Jobs - 21 to 30

* Top 50 Jobs - 31 to 40

* Top 50 Jobs - 41 to 50

Who is this guy who is laying on the rocks? He is so sexy and cute, isn't he? LOL Hi, people! I think it's the time to disclose who my husband is. Here is my hubby Greg. This picture was taken at the Grand Lake, 2009. It was almost the end of October. Well, as you can see from the picture, he was getting bored because there were no fish on that day. (LOL) He loves fishing more that I do. So, he just signed up to subscribe the fishing magazine it's called TROUT. Sometime I wonder which he loves the most. (LOL) For the bait, he use earthworm. I never touch it! It's so gross! So, his job is putting earthworm on my fishfook. Well, next time he'll chatch the good size of Trout. Well, I guess. (LOL)

This is my second report about recession and as of 2009, November 02, the America has lost 7.2 million jobs. The current National Unemployment Rate is 9.8% and it'll hit 10 % soon. So far Obama's stimulus bill $787 billion created or saved the 1 million jobs.

Gaining jobs are

HEALTH CARE
EDUCATION
GOVERNMENT
TECHNOLOGY

Losing jobs are

CONSTRUCTION
MANUFACTUARING
RETAIL

According to some economist, it needs more than 5 years to recover and creat the 2.7 million jobs. So, just calculate to know how many years needs to creat the 7.2 million jobs. So, here is my question and where should Americans go to find a job whatever that is good or bad? Here is answer!

Go to NEBRASKA, NORTH DAKOTA, SOUTH DAKOTA because unemployment rate is under 5 % now.

Don't go to MICHIGAN, NEVADA, RHODE ISLAND, CALIFORNIA

It's drawing near Halloween. Let's watch the scary movies!

This is based on the true story of Anneliese Michel, a 19 year old girl reportedly possessed by a demon, who eventually died from the exorcism rites performed on her. When I watched this movie as a believer, I was pretty shocked and wondered that those things really happened to her or not. Yes, they did happen to her in real. Anneliese Michel's the last words were "Beg for absolution" and "Mother, I'm afraid". I probably don't have as a strong faith as she had, but I believe in God and I'll carry on my faith towards God. Whatever you believe, this world is divided by Vice and Vurtue, and mostly Vice does.

"I know that we did the right thing because I saw the sign of Christ in her hands. She was bearing stigmata and that was a sign from God that we should exorcise the demons. She died to save other lost souls, to atone for their sins." - Anna Michel (Anneliese's mother, 2005)

It's drawing near Halloween. Let's watch the scary movies!

There is something quite different between Western culture and Eastern culture when it comes talk about "The Dead". In Japan, when a person dies, the reikon (saul) passes from our world to a purgatory to wait for a proper funeral. If done correctly, the reikon will become the protector of the family. If the person's life ended violently by suicide or murdere, the reikon remain the place where the person's life ended up and become the yurei (ghost). Yurei can back to the our world and haunt its killers until its emotinal conflict is resolved. We live in very busy modern society and we're oblivous to what is going on around us. Just do not make an ass out of yourself when you're outside of your country!

It's drawing near Halloween. Let's watch the scary movies!

How many times do you look at yourself in the mirror in a day? For me, at least three times I do, like in a morning time, after I took bath and at the work. I still remember that when I was a little young girl, and I often played with mirror, like I talk to the other me over the mirror and asked the other me who really you're. I often felt that someone is watching me from the mirror and trying to drag me into that mirror so I had to close the mirror for a while. If you believe that evil lives on the other side of mirror, you may not watch this movie, but otherwise, just have fun and watch this! BTW, there are two gross scenes in this movie, so just be prepared for it.

It's drawing near Halloween. Let's watch the scary movies!

The story is a common one. A family moves from the big city to the country after a tough two years in Chicago to try and rebuild their relationship with each other. Since the family moved in an old farmer house, the paranormal activities has begun on 16 years old Jess (sister) and 3 years old Ben (brother). Jess was a troublemaker child and parents, especially her mother just couldn't believe whatever she told her. However, she had to face to believe the thing that her daugher had been telling her. I think this move is just good to have a fun time with friends or family, but the most makes me think is how important the family to be one.

It's drawing near Halloween. Let's watch the scary movies!

This movie is based on true story. In 1986 the Snedeker family (Campbell family was a name used in that movie) move to 208 Meriden Avenue in Southington, Connecticut because of Philip Snedeker (Matt Campbell was a name used in that movie) who is the son between Carmen and her exhusband, the son was sick with Hodgkin’s lymphoma cancer, and being treated in a UCONN hospital in Upstate Connecticut. The Snedeker family rent a nearby house, which it was previously a funeral home. After they moved in that house, the paranormal activities had occured in that house. I would say this movie doesn't have bloodly or gross scene at all. For more 411 of this moive, just google with "The Haunting in Connecticut".

It's drawing near Halloween. Let's watch the scary movies!

This movie is based on true story. In November 1974, at 112 Ocean Avenue, a family of six was murdered by one of their sons. He said he heard something voice from the basement and the voice told him that "kill them all!". The son killed his parents first and next his sister and young brother. A year later, a young couple moved in that house. Since then, the husband acting was getting weird as if the same horrific things repeat again by Dveil. The scary thing is that this is not just a move, but it's real! If you want to know about the real story of this movie, just google it. The key word is "Amityville".

Did you know that over the past century, three major pandemics outbreak occoured and so many people were killed?

From 1918 to 1919 "Spanish Flu" H1N1 killed about 40-100 million people worldwide and 500-750,000 Americans at a time when the U.S. population was only about 100 million. Spanish Flu was by far the global disaster.

From 1957 to 1958 "Asian flu" H2N2 killed about 2 million people worldwide and 70,000 Americans at a time when the U.S. population was about 170 million.

From 1968 to 1969 "Hong Kong flu" H3N2 killed about 34,000 Americans at a time when the U.S. populations was about 200 million.

Some guy said that "I have a good immune system, so hopefully that will help me out". I would say H1N1 flu virus doesn't care about how good your immune system is! (LOL) I know it's just a flu but some of flu may kill you if you've been ditching it.

I just cannot believe you've turned to 5 years old today. When I first saw you at an animal center, you were just adorable and playing with toys. You were so innocent kitty, but now you grew up as a big adult male cat and I love you so much more!

Are you kidding me?????

US government spend $3,000,000,000,000 (3 trillion dollars) to just pull this country out of a deep recession. So, here is my question.

"Where those money came from? I thought US's been in deep dept since damn shit George Bush became President!"

"Who's gonna pay back those money and how?"

"We and from our tax? That is not gonna cover to pay everything. So that means government take tax more from us?"

"No way!"

From Novmeber 2009, the new creidt card law will start in the US. Are you a credit card holder? If you're, what kind of plastic you have in your wallet? I'm a American Express Blue Card holder.

[question]

What will be changed from an old credit card law?

[answers]

Overlimit fees are gone.

Companeis must give 45 day notice.

Interest rate and fee changes by indivitual credit companies.

Where is the American dream? I guess I haven't seen it yet! So anyway, what is 9.4% for? This is the National Unemployment Rate of the United States in July, 2009. Actually 0.1% unemployment rate has went down. You know why? It's because about 400,000 people just left from Labor Force. Whatever reason they have, they just gave up to look for a job. Average job loss from January to March was 617,000 and from May to July was 331,000. Yes, it was almost half cut from previous month. However, 4,965,000 people has been still out of job and this is the record we've ever have. So, I have to say that if you're planning on moving to the US or looking for a job in the US, just don't come over here! I'm telling ya that you'll end up nothing. On top of that, you just waste of your money! I've been working and barely making ends meet and I'm really tired of it! But how can I making a living without working? You know the life is just cynical!

Louisville Colorado has chosen as the best samll town place to live in the United States! This result surprised me because we live in Colorado near by Rocky Mountain National Park it's less than 15 minutes away by a car. The top reason for living there is "The great outdoors". Yes, you'll enjoy with hiking, biking, golfing, skiing, canoeing, boating, rock climing, you name it. Every year people come from other coutries to have a great time. Therefore, local people are very open to other culture. For other reasons, job and economy is still strong, affordable housing, safety living environment, great education and leisure arts. You know what, I'm considering to move in Louisiville after I retirted with my cats and hubby. (lol)

All my kids (cat) licks me, especially Dusty who is a girl. I know cats clean themselves by licking and that they only groom friend and family. You know, if human did the same thing, that gross me out! (lol) Anyway, I should consider myself honored. If you'd rather not be licked, gentlly pushing your cat off. Your cat will get the message eventually and won't take offense. I bet Dusty may not even notice - She is a cat. (lol)
