THE BLOCK

What's coming up?

2008-10-30T17:40:00.000-05:00

"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science..."

Obviously the quote above is not mine. Yes you guessed it right, the guy in the photo above the quote owns the quote! Who is it? Well I'm just going to leave it up to you to find out who it is. I saw this quote and I thought what a great mind. It's so true. I don't know if you can interpret it other ways but this is my interpretation.

The future, the mysterious future, it is beautiful! Just thinking about what's going to happen in the next second is just a great feeling. I'm sitting in a lounge at my school and I'm wondering who's going to walk in through that door the next moment. Aaaah I guess that next moment just became a past moment. It's not stopping for anyone. Somebody just walked in through the front doors and I looked up to see who it was. It was an unfamiliar face. I never seen him before. There is a bald headed guy sitting right next to me. A Hispanic man in his late twenties. I recognized him as soon as he came and sat near my seat. I had a class with him last semester. I even helped him to plug in his laptop AC adapter to the floor outlet but he still didn't recognize me. I can't blame him for that, me myself became bald ever since the new semester began. Should I introduce myself to him? Maybe I will, maybe I should. I guess that will be a mystery even to me! Okay, I'm going to do it. I'm going to ask him. Hold on.

All right, so I talked to him. He did remember me. He's a business banker for Chase, 33 years old. I was close! I had a ten minutes conversation with him about the nation's current economy and how Chase was holding up through it. I'm glad I turned around and initiated our little chat. I'm sure he wouldn't have done it. Anyone who knows me knows how bad I'm with remembering names. I'm trying some new techniques to keep names of the people that I meet in my memory now. So I have his name just repeating in my head right now and because I respect other people's privacy I'm not going to tell you his name.

Okay, I'm done here. Four hours of waiting to know what my mysterious future was holding for me tonight has been unveiled! Not in a good way but I can turn not so good things into positive, great things. So I am going to have dinner with one of my favorite people in this world. Pe@ce and I hope everyone exercising their right to vote!

Aaah the beautiful Houston

A view of Houston downtown early morning!

A random day!

2008-06-02T23:53:00.000-05:00

So I'm sitting at Barnes & Nobles, trying out the new Writer.app and I'm thinking this is the best writing software ever. Maybe writing is not fun for everyone but anybody can have fun writing when you're using this application. I gave it a 9 out of 10. The coolest feature is the way how the wrong words are deleted, they're not really deleted, they're just scratched off like in real world, using a real paper and a pen. Darn, look at all the mistakes I have made so far! Okay now let's get into something more real!

I have been coming here for about two months now, almost 4 times a week! Spending time in a bookstore, nice, isn't it? Anyways, the funny thing I noticed today was that I meet different people everyday or see different people everyday. So I guess I'm the one with no life! Everyday, it seems like there's always a loud person in this room. They're usually annoying to a lot of people but personally I think they're just interesting since almost all the time, the loud person is always full with energy and enthusiasm. I feel like they're there to balance the world, make the environment neutral!

As I was sitting there looking around, no that's not the only thing I do there, I noticed this guy on the phone. I knew he was flirting with some girl right when I saw him. He probably was in his mid-thirty's, had a baseball hat on, and the smile he had on his face, priceless! He kept moving around, picking up books randomly, looking at their covers and putting them down. I don't think his conscious knew what he was doing at that moment. His mind was somewhere else for sure. Was it a girl that he met couple of days ago at the gym? who knows!

Then there was this girl, she was Asian and pretty too! She had one of those lime green ipods with a lime green headphone! I wonder what's her favorite color is! She had this bottle in her hand that looked like a Budweiser bottle, maybe not that tall. I would say it was more darker and she was drinking something out of that bottle. I don't know why I even noticed it but maybe back in my mind I just thought of an idea to sneak in a beer into a book store! I know what you thinking and the answer is no, I'm not alcoholic. I should've asked her what it was, who knows, maybe it was root beer!

Love the God who created this world!

2008-05-11T23:39:00.000-05:00

I play baseball, yes I'm not a typical guy, now you know! Well I was walking into the field and I just looked up in the sky and I realized how much I missed baseball while I was away for two months. I love baseball, maybe I suck but who cares, it's the most beautiful feeling when you just walk out to the field and smell that green grass and see the sunset. Every inning I walked over to my position, oh by the way I play shortstop, I looked up at the sky and it had the most amazing variation of blues and grays, even I saw some greens too. At the top of the 7th, it was all black. I took a deep breath and the feeling of the fresh air was priceless. We won by the way. Now I know the reasons why I love playing baseball every Sunday night!

Mother's Day!

2008-05-11T23:28:00.000-05:00

Finally, it came around. The day of awkwardness. Mother's day, Father's day...these are the most awkward days in my family. They're very funny too. I love my parents and I will do anything for them. I love my mom and I want to tell her Happy Mother's day but maybe it's because I'm not used to that whole greeting thing, I just can't. But you know what they say about mother's, if they can carry you around for 9 months, then they can read your mind too! So like always, she read my mind and gave me a hug. That felt good and put an end to that awkwardness, hopefully forever!

Dreams, can they heal you?

2008-05-11T02:55:00.000-05:00

I love dreams. I dream almost every night. I don't know if it's because I go to bed looking forward to a dream every night. They are usually funny, sometimes they're romantic, and sometimes they create a whole new world for me. Nothing's wrong with dreaming and I do believe they can heal you but in which way? It all depends on how you want to be healed!

America behind when it comes to Wireless! What?

2008-05-09T23:54:00.000-05:00

How is everyone doing? I was at the doctor's office and I was reading an article about how we, the Americans, are so behind when it comes to wireless technology compared to European nations. We're so far behind that Sony Ericsson and Nokia don't even want to sell their phones in U.S. I am a phone maniac so I bought my Sony P990i from London through Ebay about 2 years ago when it first came out. I love my phone, it's the best. I never wanted to replace it till I saw the new Xperia from Sony. I'm telling you, it's a sexy one. Anyways, I was just going to say how I
never got a chance to use the full functionality of my P990 till I went to India earlier this year. I used Idea and got their gprs connection which was very cheap, less than $10/month. I was getting my emails in my phone inbox, I was accessing my favorite social networking sites while I was on a road trip and I was sending mms everyday, all for not even $10/month. I realized how much more I love my P990i during those days.

Rockets are done

2008-05-03T02:45:00.000-05:00

Rockets are finally done for the season after a loss against Utah in Game 6. The only life Rockets showed was right before the game reached the half time. After the half, nobody showed up for the Rockets. Anyways it was a good season, I enjoyed it. It was fun watching them becoming a part of the history with a 22 game winning streak this season. Our players are great people but I just don't think they're the right pieces for the Rocket's puzzle. It is the 7th year in a row where the Rockets are being dismissed in the 1st round of the playoffs.

It's official and TRUE, Tinu is married!

You think?

2007-12-09T23:54:00.000-06:00

For two nights after that puppy incident, I came home, parked my car and stood outside for at least five minutes hoping that puppy will come back! It never showed up ever again.

I watched, "Ore Kadal", a malayalam movie, yesterday. It was very good. Very short for a malayalam movie but the story was awesome. It was genuine! It was the truth. I recommend everybody to watch this one. Don't expect too much when you go though!

When a puppy showed up at my house!

2007-12-07T19:56:00.000-06:00

It was about midnight yesterday. I was standing infront of my garage, looking at the stars, breathing the fresh cold air, I saw this puppy running over to my house. I'm very scared of dogs and I wanted to run but I thought it was going to bite me if I run, so I just stood there. It came near me, smelled and licked my shoes, no it didn't go unconscious after smelling my shoes! It seemed like hungry so I went inside and got some chicken breast and threw it out there. After finishing the chicken I got some fat free milk, pour it in a little cool aid cap and at first it didn't like the smell of the fat free milk I guess but it drunk the whole thing after 5 minutes. I didn't want to leave the puppy outside but I can't take it inside knowing that my mom is allergic to it. So I got a folding chair and sat outside and the puppy came and sat near me. Oh ya, then we played fetch till 1:30....A.M!!!

I want a puppy now!

Thanksgiving 2007

2007-11-28T13:21:00.000-06:00

Good morning!

2007-10-05T06:44:00.000-05:00

What a great October morning it is! Good morning to ya'll no matter where you're in this world. Well I'm writing this from the great city of Houston and I'm currently at the airport. No, I'm not fleeing...I'm on a business trip to Seattle. Pretty exciting huh, well to me it is since this is the first time I'm going to Seattle, Washington. Speaking of Washington, I remember this friend of mine who I used to chat with back in the days...many many years ago. Her name was Amanda if I remember correctly from Spokane. Spokane, it kinda sounds funny, doesn't it? Well anyways, I'm glad I gotta a chance to remember Amanda out of the blue. Anyways, I'm going to be in Seattle for 3 days. Saturday is the wedding that I have to cover after that I'm pretty much gona roam around Seattle hoping to find something good about that city! lol So one more city down in my travel life and many more to go!

Oh, I decided to use blogger.com as my official blogging site. I've been struggling with Joomla on my personal site for the past one year. Yes, that's my reason for not blogging everyday! Well hopefully starting today I'm gona try to blog at least once a day! Let's see how this is going to work.

2006-10-02T00:20:00.000-05:00

All right, so the Astros are finally eliminated from the playoffs chase. Enough with all the emotional ups and downs they put me through. I didn't expect them to make playoffs till last two weeks. All of a sudden I had my hopes up and was ready to hit the playoffs. With loosing the first game of the 3 game series with the ATL on last Friday, especially with Rocket pitching was the beginning of the end. It's something when you are still in the race till the last out of the last game of the season. It would've been the biggest upset in the sporting world if we would've won the NL central! It's over now and we can all put it behind us and hope we make some beautiful free agent deals, especially with someone who can lighten up our batting order.

With the Astros season over, how about our Texans? We got our first win of the season today and talk about Williams finally getting over the hump with 1 1/2 sack. Finally we started seeing some production from the #1 pick! I'm looking forward to the Basketball season...I can already hear a championship trophy knocking on Houston's footsteps, lol. We made a huge free agent signing with Bonzi Wells and how about getting Shane Battier by trading Swift to Memphis. I think this signing are going to help us out humongously and I think Bonzi will be in his best character with Vangundi (hopefully).

Okay, I can't find anything to write about other than sports but if I do come across another subject that I would be interested to write about, I will make a note of it.

Cowboys, We have a problem!

2006-09-27T23:11:00.000-05:00

Htown to Dtown, "Dallas, We have a problem. T.O attempted to suicide!"

What? Did I hear that right? T.O trying to sucide? Are you kidding me? Why would a man with 25 million reasons not to suicide try to suicide?

Lol, this was the first thing I saw when I turned on ESPN News earlier today. Cowboys, I think you guys made a perfect free agent acquisition the last off season. Gosh, I feel really bad for you guys but common, we all knew this was coming. Anyways enough about T.O. It was all just speculations but 15 minutes of Sportscenter was dedicated to T.O because of this. ESPN, nice job forgetting about the red hot Astros! How about those 'stros? We're on a 8 game winning streak...! I love the emotional ups and downs the team takes us, the fans, throughout the season. The pain's bitter but sweet. It's like having a girl friend. Ohhhk maybe not!

Well Htown, let's keep our fingers crossed hoping the 'stros to continue with their winning streak and to have the red birds falling down from the sky. All right, it's getting late and I need my sleep. Before I step down, I just want to remember and keep in my prayers Officer Rodney Johnson who was killed last thursday. A big loss for our PD...

"Why shouldn't I?"

2006-09-26T15:38:00.000-05:00

One day while I was sitting in my A&P class with the projection screen filled with photos of different types of skin cancers, my mind was in blogs. I read at least a blog everyday. Some might be funny and the others might be informative. My favorties are mostly the ones that display political views causing a big laughter in me. Anyways, as my mind was fading into the blogs I thought why shouldn't I start blogging? I did it while I was on vacation in India this summer. I even started up a new blog to do that. It's not that hard for sure. I've been wanting to write ever since I could understand the meaning of writing, but my problem was I never had time. So I sat down yesterday and calculated the amount of time I spent online looking at the latest HD camera's and the new editing softwares which came out to be about 4 hours. Well well well, I think I finally figured out where I'm wasting my time mostly! So today morning I woke up and decided to spent the 20 minutes of my 4 hours of daily web skimming for blogging. So far I'm finding it very healthy!
