If there’s a double rainbow, will there be double the pot of gold at the end of it?
These are images from earlier today in the East Bay. Did anyone else see the double rainbow today?
The other day I had lunch with a childhood friend of mine. She called me in the beginning of the week and wanted to have lunch since we hadn’t seen each other for a month (and before that was over 10 years).
It was good to catch up. I was still in awe that she has two kids (both very beautiful). It felt like it was just yesterday we were in high school.
It made me realize that I continue to live in the past or at least let my past live in my present. I have to constantly remind myself to let things be, let things go and grow from it all.
A wise turtle said (Kung-Fu Panda): “Yesterday is the past, tomorrow/the future is unknown, but today is a gift…that’s why it’s called the Present.
Now enjoy the Gift…
Sitting here at my local new hotspot, Starbucks…I can’t get the words of the bank teller keeps ringing in my mind. Ok…let me back up…
Last Thursday, I was depositing my paycheck at the BofA in SF. As he was finishing the transaction, he asked me if I was ok and I truthfully said no. He continued to ask what happened. And I told him I had just been laid off an hour ago. He said I’m sorry. He also said, “maybe it’s a blessing. Do what you’ve always wanted to do but never got to do it and be happy.” I managed to crack a smile and said thank you.
Now his words are ringing in my head. So sitting here, surfing the web for administrative and legal jobs, I’m going to start to put up some of my products very soon. I hope I get a good response. So look out for it and thanks for reading/listening. =)
And thanks Miguel at BofA.

I was feeling down yesterday so…I bought shoes.
It that bad? It is isn’t it ::SIGH:: They were so cute and calling out my name and saying…buy me, buy me, buy me! Well I wasn’t that bad. They were 50% off so it totaled out to $19.17 including tax.
I’m wearing them today and they’re really comfy. No more buyer’s remorse =)
Below are images I took of the SF last week with my phone.
I feel like a total loser today. I guess it started off last night…
It was was midnight and I discovered a show called “Dead Like Me” on Hulu. (Damn you Hulu for your wonderful shows available at the wee hours of the morning! I love/hate you Hulu.) I ended up watching the first 6 episodes of the series. And as usual I’m late on these kinds of show. Apparently this show has been cancelled for awhile. But they did make a straight to DVD movie which came out this year. It was just the right amount of dark comedy that my soul was craving for. If you want more info on this show check out:

I had also made a promise to myself that no matter what I need to get out of the house or else I will never get out of bed. So with no sleep, I did my morning routine: wash face, brush teeth, get dressed, walk the dogs, make sure the dogs and cat have food and water, leave home.
Leave home I did. Drove 880N but the no sleep caught up with me and I ended up getting off the freeway and parking on some residential side street and took a nap…until 3pm (10a-3p). Then I groggily got up got some fast-food and now I’m at a local Starbuck carousing Craigslist for job postings and letting you know how I feel like a total loser.
My day in a nutshell.
The dogs and I decided to stay at Pt. Isabel. While waiting for the fireworks we saw a beautiful sunset (pictures below). It was pretty neat because we saw the SF and Berkeley fireworks plus other little ones in the Marin area from where we were sitting. The downside…it was freeeezing! I had on two sweaters with hoods and it was still cold. Next year if we decide to do the same thing I’ll make sure we’re prepared.
Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July America!
I love fireworks but the dogs don’t. So to tire them out before they
freak out due to fireworks…we went to Pt. Isabel. It’s a big dog
park. Still haven’t gone through all the trails. One day we will! The
babies even went in the water today. Didn’t get to take pictures of it
though. I will next time…
Hope everyone is having a fabulous day with family, friends and loved ones!
We’ve all been on our best behaviors at work. There’s been rumors about a scheduled lay-off during the beginning of May, then another one in June…but nothing ever happened. Until now..
July 2nd I was laid-off. I’m still in shock. I think it’ll fully hit me come Monday morning when I don’t have to wake up at 6 am to get ready for the work, take the bus to the BART station and building security does not let me in…
Ya still in shock.
I worked for an international law firm. Our SF office was the smallest in the nation (the Palo Alto office is bigger). There’s 4 people in my word processing department. The reason for the lay-off, not enough work and I’m the newest one in the department. I knew my days were numbered but didn’t realize that day was yesterday.
I’ve slowly but surely lined up my ducks…
-filed for unemployment
-called some creditors
-updated resume
-contacted recruiters
-emailed resume to possible opportunities from the web
Of course still lots to do but with the holiday weekend it’s hard to get a hold of people.
I tell myself to keep my spirits up. Coworkers have been very supportive and let me know that if I need anything to let them know. Well yes I do…I need a job.
I do believe that when a door closes…a window of opportunity opens. But I also know that I won’t see that open window if I just sit on my ass. I gotta find that window!
So I’m calling on all online communities and requesting some good vibes sent my way and to anyone else who has lost their jobs due to the economy especially families with children to feed. =)
…before I lay my head
down to sleep…
swallow your pride
make the first move
call
before it’s too late
let it all go
sleep now…
sleep now…
sleep sleep sleep…
