Flooding in Sacramento
Mood:  accident prone
The weirdest thing happen yesterday: there was flood in Sactown after an hour or so of heavy rain and hail. I've never seen that before. I mean, flood, yes, I grew up in Malabon afterall. But flood in Sacto, that is something else.

The basement garage at my work looked like a lake or a very big pond. It's really sad since there were some cars that got stuck inside. Dr. Hayes' brand new BMW was there, and so was a couple of vans. Oh shoots, even our company van was in there.

It all happened so fast, the garage must have filled up with water in about 15 minutes. There really was no time to move the cars at all.

And then, the fire alarm inside the building went off. So, of course, we evacuated the building. The firemen came and found nothing really, just our system going wacko for some reason. It was a crazy, crazy day.

Neighbor's Pitbull
Mood:  loud
My neighbor's pitbull, actually they're a few houses down from us, scared the bejesus out of me. As I was walking Tyler today, this stupid pitbull got all excited, jumped out of his backyard, and took off after me and Tyler.

I saw him hopped the fence, which must be at least 6 feet tall and when he caught up with me and Tyler, I was sure he's going to attack us. I was so stunned to react at first but when his face was just inches away from Tyler, I let out this blood curdling scream. I screamed "NO!!!!" so loud that a guy from a street over rushed outside from his house to see what the hell is going on.

I must have looked very menacing to this dog when I screamed because I saw fear flashed on his face for a nanosecond. And that was for a good reason because I was seriously thinking of kicking him on the jaw if he takes one more step towards Tyler. I was scared shit too but I couldn't let anything happen to my baby.

We had a brief stand-off, he looked at me as if trying to measure me up. I held my ground and stared back at him. I then startled him by yelling "Go away!". He gave me one last look as if he's saying I'm one crazy woman before he turned around very sllooowwlly. I pulled Tyler to the opposite direction and we briskly head home.

When we got home, my hands were shaking and there's a funny taste in my mouth. It took a few minutes before I really calmed down. When I did, I walked to that dog's house, sans Tyler of course, just in time for his owner to pull up to their driveway. I told him what happened and he was very sorry. Apparently, this is not the first time his dog hopped the fence. The owner said that he might have to tie his dog up or something.

On my way back, I talked to the guy who heard my screams and he had no idea what happened until I explained it to him.

I know Tyler would have put up a good fight if it came to that but my boy is a lover, not a fighter.
I will get a pepper spray first thing in the morning because I refuse to have one stupid, butt-ugly dog run me off my street.

Sure, I will be scared but I will not let that stop me from walking Tyler. Next time that dog, or any dog for that matter tries to attack us, I'll pepper spray his face.

I sure learned a lot from this incident but I'd like to process them some more in my head. I'll post them later on.

E's home
Mood:  happy

E's home tonight! Yay! My poor baby works very hard and he's out of town most of the time. He'll be leaving again to go to a conference in Dallas. I don't like it when he's gone because I get the blues. But he got to do what he got to do and I guess I just have to busy myself with cleaning the house.

Arrgh, summer is soooo long. I so wish to be back in school soon. I hate to admit it but, yup, I miss school. Isn't that sad?

Meet Tyler
Mood:  a-ok
Meet my boy Tyler. He likes to play with balls...except this pink one.

A walk with Tyler
Mood:  lazy
I took Tyler for a long walk yesterday to the park by the school. It was very relaxing, I'm glad I was able to spend time with my big boy.

Tyler is my very first dog. I got him when he was 3 months old. Even when he was a baby, he was already big and burly. He's all grown now and he's huge. But he is a gentle giant. He is very laid back and very handsome.

I made this chicken with peanut butter recipe I found last night. I gave it a shot because it sounded like the Thai dish that I like. Mwahahahaha. Big mistake. E ate it but I could tell he didn't like it. Bless his heart for not making a rude comment about it. It was pale in color and too peanut buttery.

I have other recipes I want to try out. I just hope E is sport enough to try out my weird ass looking dishes.

Moving Furniture
Mood:  a-ok
E and I moved the big computer desk from the home office to our bedroom. We were going to donate it to Goodwill but it's still so new that we decided to keep it. That table was huge! It was a lot of work moving it from one side of the house to the other.

But it's all good, I love doing stuff with E anyway. He has a happy disposition that kinda rubs off on me. I was kinda feeling sh**ty this morning because I had cramps but E made me laugh a lot while we were moving the furniture that I didn't feel the pain so much. Boy, I'd be miserable without him that's for sure.

Interesting Saturday, 9/11 3rd Anniversary
Mood:  not sure
Last night, E and I worked on the putting the computer together on top of our new table. It looks sooo nice. I will post a picture of it sometime. We were very tired and didn't go to bed til late.

We didn't get to sleep very much at all. We had to wake up early because E had a physical exam for his life insurance policy. On my way to work, I realized that I have to go to RJ's birthday party! Argh!! That totally slipped my mind. I decided to drop by at the party real quick and to heck with work, I'll be a little late that's all.

Then E called and said he got into a minor car accident. Apparently, he was backing up and didn't see this other car backing up too. Well, the other car didn't see him either. So, they backed up on each other.

I ended up not going to work at all. I went home to comfort E instead. His day has been pretty jacked up. Luckily, M was working and she was fine with me not coming in to work at all. Let's just say that was her payback for leaving me to work by myself last week. hehehe. I just love that girl.

We watched "The Punisher" tonight. Jeesh, whoever directed that movie sure is giving Quentin Tarantino a run for his money. Too gory and too bloody.

Finished Project!
Mood:  celebratory
We didn't watch a movie afterall. We stayed home and I finished the table! It looks awesome. I placed those peel and stick tiles on top of the table. It turned out so nice. Now my built in table looks like it's made of marble or something. E liked it too. We could finally use the flat screen monitor and I have a big, big work space. Yay!!! Perfect for studying and doing homework. Yeah, right.

Eneweis, I just learned that S and Liza flew to CT hoping to escape the wrath of Ivan--the hurricane. Man, this is their third hurricane in a month. They really should just move out here in sunny California.

CSI Marathon
Mood:  vegas lucky
Spike TV is running a CSI marathon! I can watch an entire season of CSI in one day! One day! Can you believe that? Am so, sooo happy...:)

E wants to watch a movie later but I'd much rather stay home and finish that dang table in the office. Gawd, my house is a mess. I need to do some serious cleaning before school starts.

First Blog
Mood:  blue
So, here it is, my weblog thru Tripod. I decided to integrate my website and weblog 'coz it's tiring to maintain the two separately. However, in doing so, I lost all of my other blogs since way back when. So sad :( Oh well, start fresh and start anew.
