I told my friend how tasty Costco Pineapple was. Then we talked about how we cut pineapple. I have never seen anyone else cutting pineapple before. I came up with my own way to cut pineapples. I figured that’s how everyone else is doing.

I use this method to cut watermelon, Mellon, cantaloupe, & etc…

Anyway, it was difficult to explain how I cut pineapple over the phone, so I told her “Ok, ok, I will shoot a video so you will see how I do”.

Here’s the video I sent her.

* Oh yeah, I was listening to Christmas music. They were playing it on my cable TV channel already.

Nothing’s Going on – Nothing…

I haven’t updated my blog, not because I was sick, too busy, or lazy.

I have absolutely nothing going on in my life. This is good. This is how I would like my life to be – a life with no drama. I just want to live everyday life happily and positively. And I would hope tomorrow will be just as same as today. Life is good. Anyway, I had little to talk about. That was all.

I plan to go to Costco next week.

Shopping wise? I cannot think of anything else to buy. I would like to buy a lot of stuff, but they are all luxury items, and I don’t have much money.

I still practice guitar. I love my new guitar. It’s been almost 1 year, and it’s been a dream.  I still cannot believe I own a real Les Paul, not a fake one.

I am not a good player. But it’s a lot of fun practicing.

NBA season started.
I missed the last episode of “Desperate Housewives” – 🙁
I wonder what happened to Susan. 

I’ve been listening to Christmas music a lot.

I still eat very good. I eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day (Mon – Fri). I don’t eat red meat during the weekdays.

Now I weigh myself at 156lb in the morning. (Remember? I used to be 164lb last year). I stopped running, but I will start running again. I still can do 10 chin-ups easily.

We have a new employee at work. This young dude is so incredibly handsome. He looks like a Calvin Klein model. I am not kidding. He just came from Ukraine, so he even has this shy and humble personality with an accent. Girls will go crazy on him (and some guys).

Anyway…  really, not much going on. But it’s good.

I enjoy my coffee every morning. I go to sleep with a smile every night. I love my bed. 

24 hours a day, my life is being pampered by (semi) luxury items, made possible by Costco. I cannot afford a lot of items if there was no Costco. Or I’ll have to look everywhere for a special discount. I don’t have time for that.

Anyway, I’m here. Nothing’s going on.

I’ll keep in touch.

God bless everyone. Please take care.

A definite sign of getting old (and grumpy)

Have you seen this latest viral video on YouTube? (below)

It’s about Cedu Pacific Airline’s Flight Attendants dancing the emergency procedure.

This is the hottest video. It’s been viewed about 7 million times so far.

But I find this video FREAKIN’ annoying.
FREAKIN’ annoying… with a Capital “F”

I mean, it annoyed me so much that I had to write about it.

  • I try to take a trip somewhere. I sit down on the plane and hope nobody would bother me. And they blast crappy music in my ears. That’s FREAKIN’ annoying.
    • I will not rattle pots and pans by your ear. I will not whistle Yankee Doodle Dandy on the plane. You don’t blast crap in my ears. Deal? Sheesh~!
  • They go over the emergency procedures as a joke. So, what happens when something actually happens? Will people remember what to do?
  • About the girls and dancing? – Not cute.
  • And this is the hottest video? I would rather watch Dos Equis Beer commercial. 

Freakin’ annoying, I tells ya. I am old.

PS.

For that matter, I hate “Flash Mob” of any kind. People arrange time and place. They would go to public places such as the train station or supermarket. And, with a signal, all those people would “Freeze” (stop moving) for a minute or two. And that’s supposed to be an art. I find that extremely annoying.

“Hey, everyone, look at me. I’m in a public place and I am frozen. Look at us, we are not moving. It’s strange, huh? Are we human or robots? Look at us, we are different. We are unique. Please love us.”

Pathetic…

My Burger Ritual (sign of getting old?)

I’m not sure if this is qualified as a sign of getting old. This is something I never thought about when I was younger. I recently started to do this.

I like good burgers, but I don’t like it when my hand smells afterward. So, this is what I do.

I carry a plastic sandwich bag in my wallet. It’s so thin that it doesn’t don’t take any extra space in my wallet.

When I eat a burger, I strategically place the sandwich bag in the napkins so my hand will not smell like an onion afterward.

 


See the plastic sandwich bag?

These are hot sauces I have now.

I put them in the order of preference from left to right.

  1. Blair’s After Death Sauce is my favorite. It’s really hot, but it’s got an exotic flavor. This was the most expensive one ($5-$6)
  2. Castillo’s Salsa Habanera is from Mexico. I bought 2 bottles when I went to Mexico. It quickly became my #2.
  3. Tapatio is my general-purpose hot sauce. This is the cheapest from the lineup ($.59)
  4. Ralphs’s (California Supermarket Chain) hot sauce is #4 but I still like it a lot.
  5. One on the right is the newest one. I don’t like this at all. I think I will trash this.

*I like Tabasco, but I don’t have it (too expensive for what it does). If I had Tabasco, it will be my #3. Tabasco is excellent on pizza.

Hot Sauce. Really Hot Sauce

Finally, I found a hot sauce that meets and exceeds my expectation.

I like spicy food. When I go to a Thai restaurant, I say “Extra, extra hot, please” Then I say “Remember, I said extra twice”. Sometimes I say “Give me Thai spicy, Not American spicy”

Typical hao sauces such as Tabasco, Valentina, Tapatio, for the general population. I don’t find them remotely spicy. Spicy food lovers agree with me.

I accidentally found this, Blair’s After Death Sauce, at Cost Plus World Market. After Death is too hot for me, so I have to put a few drops of this in some other hot sauce such as Tapatio.

Blair’s After Death comes with a skull key chain. I am excited that I found this hot sauce.
