Terrified – The Weekend of Horror

I was at my computer desk in the living room with the front door opened. I like to open my front door so I can feel the cool, fresh air. It was a beautiful Saturday.

I heard some bird chirping close by. Soon, one bird flew into my apartment. It flew right by my head and flew into my bedroom.

I get scared when I see a bee. Last week a lizard came into my living room and I almost passed out. So, a bird flying in my apartment was terrifying.

My neighbor, an old lady, told me that a smaller bird was being chased by a crow. The bird flew into my apartment to hide, and the crow almost followed in as well.

I grabbed a broom and slowly looked for the bird. It was terrifying. I finally found the bird. I used the broom to chase the bird away, but that backfired. This time I really lost the bird. Now I didn’t even know if the bird was in my apartment or not.

So, I left the door opened… and I fell asleep on the couch.

The old lady’s granddaughter (early teen) woke me from the nap. She asked me to look for the bird again that she would like to keep the bird for herself. And I found the bird inside the bedroom. Oh my God, it was disgusting. The bird grew bigger while I was taking a nap!!

Soon, my neighbor with her granddaughter came into my bedroom, and we shut the door behind us. The bird was flying in my bedroom. This was a nightmare. At one point both the granddaughter and I screamed like a little girl. Then the girl saw me screaming like a girl and started to laugh.

Finally, the grandmother caught the bird with her bare hands. I think she’s got pecked by the bird – she screamed in pain. After a quick photoshoot, she released the bird. I saw the bird reuniting with the family.

I came back home and washed my hands like there was no tomorrow.

PS. The next day my neighbor told me she faked being pecked by the bird to scare me even more.

Update: Next day, Sunday morning.

My other neighbor invited me for a Sunday breakfast. I told her about the bird incident and we had a big laugh. Then I saw my neighbor’s cat. She was playing with what appeared to be a toy lizard.

“Please tell me that is a toy lizard,” I begged to my neighbor. “Oh! not again,” she complained, and she picked up the lizard with her bare hand. With her bare hand!!

I almost lost my breakfast right there. Too much man… too much in one weekend.

Look at that evil face…

Did you notice those two animals have the same facial expression? As if they shared a note…

That’s the same cat from the October 2011 blog.

Costco Shopping – February 3, 2012

I went to Costco on February 3, 2012. 

Kirkland Signature Black T-shirts – (4 pack) $15.99
Kirkland Signature’s black t-shirts are back. I bought these T-shirts at my Costco shopping on July 24, 2010. They were $12.99 for 4 packs back then. Now they are $15.99. I’ve been wearing these T-shirts every day at work for the last year and a half. I wanted to buy some more. I was happy to see those black t-shirts.

Butter
I should have bought the butter at a supermarket. That’s a lot of butter. They will last 2-3 years.

I bought a pack of computer papers, Doritos, Coffee, soaps, eggs…

It was a good shopping experience. Good time.

Vitamix

I bought a Vitamix blender (5200) and I feel very positive. Vitamix is a heavy-duty blender that will crush and liquefy the entire fruit (seeds, skin, and all).

There was a Vitamix roadshow yesterday at Costco. I picked up Vitamix model 5200 for $394.99. I am happy with my purchase. I saved $55.00 plus $25.00 shipping.

I wanted a Vitamix blender for some time. I’ve been making juice every weekday for the last 4-5 years. That’s roughly 1200 days of juicing, 2 juices a day, totaling 2400 juices. But all this time there was something that didn’t make sense to me. I throw out a lot of pulp every morning. I thought I should eat the pulp and throw out the juice. My common sense told me that pulp must have more nutritional value than juice.

With Vitamix, there is no pulp to throw out. Pulp will get crushed & get liquefied. So, from this point, I will buy 60%, maybe 75% fewer fruits and vegetables than I used to. I will no longer buy 25 Pound bags of carrots. I figured the machine will pay for itself in 1 year or less. So, if you have a large family and juice every day? Vitamix will save you a lot of money.

But, money aside, I believe Vitamix is much healthier than juice.

Vitamix 5200c Vs 5200
Costco model, 5200c, is the best price you can pay for Vitamix Blender. It has the same powerful motor. It will work just as same as any other Vitamix Blenders. The only difference is that it comes with a smaller container. And it has a different finish on switches.
