Montero updates.

I got the Montero Sport back and my mechanic said it could be the alarm system. It's draining the battery. My mechanic disabled the alarm and it seems to be okay. There is not much speaker feedback as before. The radio is working and depending on where I park, I just used the steering wheel lock just in case someone gets the urge to carjack it. I had my '83 Olds Omega stolen and it was used in a joyride and crashed into another car. Taking the bus after that was just miserable.

Update... Still haven't replaced the Montero's alarm. The stereo feedback is back but I'm getting used to it. As long as I use it every other day, I don't think the battery will drain.

World of Warcraft.
This online gaming program is insane. I mean insanely great. Addicting as heck. I never liked role playing before as I end up dying early and need to restart all over again. Frustrating and absolutely annoying. This program is different. When I get killed during a quest or accident I am able to resurrect and keep going with the game without starting over. I get killed often and I just resurrect myself.

HD DLP 1040p HDMI...
Do you understand these acronyms? If you say t.v. stuff, you are right. My buddy J bought a 42 inch wide screen t.v. High definition 1040 resolution, projection t.v. It's like you are there. I can see the pores on the actors skin. Going back home and watching a 26 inch regular 480 resolution makes it look like amateur night at the Apollo.

My baby is sick.

My 10 year old Montero has been in the shop for days. It stranded me in the middle of the road a month ago and I had her towed to my neighbor's shop. Great to have Triple A when you have older vehicles. The charging system was still working so I had the battery replaced. I was lucky it was not the alternator.

After I got the SUV back, I heard popping noise from the speakers. The ignition system seems to be having a feedback on the sound system. I left for the Bay area for the weekend and when I came back my baby will not start.

After a week, the charge on the battery was all wiped out. I charged it with my other baby the Solara. Montero started with ease. I drove her daily without a hitch but the feedback is always there. I sent her back to the shop Monday and I haven't heard from my mechanic. I was guessing he was trying to simulate the situation.

Living in California with it's dry weather makes it ideal to keep cars longer. I've seen cars with their paint jobs ruined by ice and corrosive salt. My Montero is still intact body and engine wise. Electrical problems starts to appear specially with after market electronics. I had the radio replaced 3 years ago and I think that is the problem. I rather change radio than buy another SUV.

Not a real connection.

After 3 weeks of what seems to be love was not. Slowly, I realized that there is nothing magical about what I have. There is no match. Nothing wonderful.

I personally don't feel what I felt when I first fell in love. She probably did but I didn't. I kept waiting for that feeling. The excitement of seeing her and just the constant wonderful feeling. Nothing, nada, kaput.

I thought I can make it work until she starts giving me a hard time about my Thai food obsession. I've been going to Sanamluang for more than 20 years. She gives me drama every time we go there. She tells me the food is great after all the drama. I felt that there is something wrong. She's telling me that Italian food is better. Blasphemy! How can Thai be beaten by Italian food? I sat there last Saturday feeling insulted.

We were suppose to meet at the San Dimas Rodeo. I called her and told her that I pass. I wanted to stay at home. I miss being alone. Around midnight I called her to tell her that it's not working and that I am better off alone. She thanked me for telling her and that we will be friends. No hard feelings, she's a strong person.

Being alone is soo great. No one to consider if I want to eat at Sanamluang every meal every day. Going out is cheaper, just me and no one else. Ahh, freedom.

It's been 4 months...?

I can't believe I haven't been blogging. I've been busy with work and actually have a social life now.

Brother told me that cleaning up my house has brought changes in my life. I believe him. I've given up on love and someone all of a sudden was interested in me.

I've also switched to night shift. Work is much easier and there is more pay. The co-workers are better, there is always a bugger, and tolerable. Most of the patients are asleep and those who needs help just want to go to the bathroom. No meals are served. No physical therapists and other staff to bother me with their requests and inquiries.

I can read, play sudoku, study work related materials, and just make people laugh the rest of the night. It's a nice way to earn a living.
