Holy Freaken Lost!

Okay...I LOVED the first episode of the season!

Now where the heck did this "brother" guy come from?!?
He must have some kind of "power" which made Locke walk
and also Sarah (Jacks patient/wife).

And WALT ... OMG ... I had goosebumps when Shannon saw
him in the woods ... and his freaky whispers ... where the heck
are the guys in the raft!!

Jack was once again really hot tonight ... except his flashback
scenes ... the hair has to go.

Cant wait till next week!

Clogged No More!!

When I came home last night there was a notice
posted on my door.

"Notice to Enter: Repair for Garbage disposal to be
done on 09/20/05"

The sink is now in working order!! Its no longer
clogged!

Im soo happy! No more:
1) paper products
2) washing cooking materials in bathtub
3) stress over what to cook for dinner

As a reminder:
1) never throw rice in garbage disposal
2) never throw any form of oily sauce in
drain/garbage disposal
3) contact maintanace when a problem first
occurs.

Thats Michelle Villacorta.
During the years Ruel and Naida were dating we kept calling each other "cousins"
We would joke around about when would they finally get married.

And now we are finally "cousins" by marriage!

Some Thoughts On The Emmys

Outstanding Comedy: "Everybody Loves Raymond"
* I kinda wanted Desperate Housewives to win...but they
have next year...and since its the last season of ELR..I was
actually glad.

Outstanding Drama: "Lost"
* YES! If they lost (haha / funny) they would
have been ROBBED!

Oustanding Writing - Comedy: "Arrested Developement"
* Okay ... so three nominations for the same show ... it
must be good writing ... I dont watch this show show
I really cant say if they deserved it ... but Desperate
Housewives "should" have won.

Oustanding Writing - Drama: "House"
* Once again ... another show I dont watch ... but come
on ... LOST should have won! ..plane crash / polar bears /
mystery numbers /wheelchair bound person who can walk /
flashbacks / the "others"/ etc.

Lead Actress - Comedy: Felicity Huffman
* I felt somewhat relieved that Teri Hatcher
didnt win ... and that some other housewife
won.

Going to a Wedding

Okay ... so I'm off to another road trip to Tracy
to go to the wedding of my cousin Zenaida and
Ruel (Abadam) -- at Madroma Manor (wine country)

I would usually blog interesting things that we
did on the drive over...but nothing much happened.

1:30pm - Clock out of work / Kuya Rommel is the
driver ... on the 5N

2:00pm - Start reading "Jemima Jones" By Jane Green

3:30pm - Get coffee from Starbucks / Tall Cafe Mocha

4:30pm - Get food from McDonalds / still reading

7:30pm - Arrive at Tracy / munch on some Kare Kare
We made it in time for the Emmys!

Clogged Sink: Delimma "Worsens"

For some reason ... the water is flowing much slower
than before.

I think it might have been the "CLR Plumber". There's a
possibility it loosed some grime...contributing to the
collection of grease/food particles in the U-Stop...the amt
of water I had in the sink should have been "drained out"
already ... but there are still some trace of water!

FCUK ... solution 3 ... will cost me money!

Clogged Sink: Solution 3

Okay...its been done..

I filled out a work order form for the sink.
I just hope that I dont need to pay for the
"damange" -- I hope that the maintanance
guys/gals for the Apt. doesnt find anything
MAJORLY WRONG!

Clogged Sink: Solution 2

Okay ... so the plunger didnt work for my sink.
Now I have option 2 ... Draino ... I've been told that
Draino may be too strong for some pipes .. so I
decided on buying "CLR Plumber" its supposed to
be stronger without the harmful chemicals...

Well ... I used it ... and .. MY SINK IS STILL CLOGGED!
I think it might have cleaned out "some" grime, since
some actually floated out of the sink.

My sink is still clogged! I even tried to use the plunger
again ... its not working. I really think that the "U-Stop"
may now be the problem .. clogged up with extra grime/etc.

Power Outage

Okay...for one hour today I felt completely helpless and
paranoid of the power outage in Burbank. I thought of the last
news I heard this morning that there was some kind of terror alert
in the LA area and then ... BOOM .... no power ... what was weird
was that there were several other places in LA that had
power outages .. but then ... at 2pm ... Power resumes ...

"Los Angeles Department of Water and Power officials said
the outage was linked to human error at a receiving station
near Burbank. Workers connected the wrong wires, causing
a surge of power that led to shutdowns at three power generating
stations, according to officials."

Thank goodness this was just human error .. rather than
human evil!!

Clogged Sink: No Progress

I really dont want to touch my sink again.
I dont have any progress with the Plunger!

Its empty right now...but as soon as I try to
wash a pot / pan / rice cooker ... the water will
rise ... and I would have to wait a couple of
hours before it SLOWLY drains itself.

I'm really okay with Paper Products .. and I've
been using foil for baking chicken so I dont really
have any Pan cleanups to do. And washing things
over the tub isnt that bad ...

I guess I have to result to Draino or Liquid Plummer

Clogged Sink - S.1. Problem

I just told the peeps at work about my still clogged
sink and had told them the Plunger didnt work...I
explained to them that the water was still in both
sinks when I was using the plunger..

I guess I was doing it wrong...since its a DUAL sink..
I was supposed to keep one of the sink "closed off"
while I plunged away on the second one...OHHH...
and Im supposed to know this because ....

Anyways ... I guess I have to wait till both sinks are
empty...then close off one sink...and fill in the other
with some water ... and PLUNGE away...

I guess I have to live with paper products for now ...

Clogged Sink - Solution #1

Okay...So I tried the plunger to unclog the sink...
and NOTHING happened!!

I worked that plunger really hard and NOTHING
happened the sink is still clogged.

I. Now. Have. To. Use. My. TUB. To. Wash.
SOME. Dishes! FCUK!!

Still Clogged

Well ... I thought that somehow the sink would
unclog itself after some time. I had to wash my
RICE cooker and a pot .. I water seemed to be going
down .. but then ... slowly kept rising up!! So I stopped
the water.

I asked people at work if they ever had this problem,
and they told me to

1) use a plunger
2) use Draino
3) call maintenance

CRAP! I really think ... the problem might have been the
"Sabow" from the Chicken Adobo. I was contemplating on
whether to throw it in the sink ... or pour it out in the trash.
I decided on the sink ... BIG MISTAKE

Clogged Sink

Dammit! I have a clogged kitchen sink!!
I really dont know what could have happened.
Yesterday was the last day I remember using the
sink. The only things I remembered putting down
in the garbage disposal was

1) some rice
2) some corn
3) some left-over "sabow" from my Chicken Adobo

Crap ... and my landlord/maintenance cant help because
in my lease we (tenants) are responsible for our garbage
disposal!! We are NOT suppose to put into the garbage
disposal

1) rice
2) pasta
3) lard / grease

Im guilty yes ... but I've put rice in the garbage disposal before
and was never clogged!
