Passing of My Grandmother – A Short Reflection

March 8, 2016 by chikorita157 Leave a Comment

The past three months have been somewhat rough. Although things are going well at work, excluding social networking and blogging woes, it’s obvious that I have an actual life. The past weeks was rather tough since my grandmother has passed away yesterday at 91 years old from an untreated sepsis.

While I got to visit her two times before things took a turn for the worse, my younger sister had it rough since she and my parents visited her almost every day until the end. Still, it’s rather sad to lose her considering that she took care of me and my younger sister when we were younger and she gave out some money when she was healthier.

From this, this definitely bought out the worst of my relatives or rather my uncles and aunts given that all of them except my mother and one uncle decided not to treat her from a vote. If they decided to treat her, there is a possibly of her living a bit longer, which is something that she wanted. The worst part is that other family members didn’t get a say in the matter, which is why some are angry at their decision.

Understandably, while it’s unfortunate that it has to end this way, there is a life lesion to be learned. One should appreciate their parents and not take advantage of them since they worked hard to raise you. One should eventually return the favor. Thankfully, I am grateful to have support from my coworkers, friends, my younger sister and parents to get through this sad situation and I hope my grandmother will rest in peace.

What a week…

Everyone should have known by already that there was a Boston bombing at the marathon that happened early this week. I didn’t know about it in full until the next day. From that day on, I have been following coverage on this manhunt and at 9 PM after I finished eating dinner, I found out that they finally capture Tamerlan Tsarnaev hiding under a boat, which is very surprising as I thought he would have been on the loose. But hopefully they will bring him to justice and find out why he did it.

Winter Came Back… and Left Again!

January 24, 2012 by chikorita157 Leave a Comment

It seems that there is a huge lack of snow ever since Winter started back in late December of last year or even since the October snow storm. Since then, we had abnormally warm weather that it’s crazy. Thankfully, it snowed a little last weekend before disappearing completely, leaving us snowless yet again.

Climate Change is causing this? Most certainly yes or otherwise we wouldn’t have this weather.

Brief Thoughts on Steve Jobs passing away…

October 5, 2011 by chikorita157 Leave a Comment

I just heard that Steve Jobs passed away and it’s sad. Just remembering a few years back when one of our relatives passed away with pancreatic cancer, which is incurable. Either way, he is going to be missed, considering how much he contributed to computing and the mobile industry. I give my condolences to his family.

Labor Day Break

September 4, 2011 by chikorita157 Leave a Comment

Having a short labor day break. Went dolphin watching and look at a small aquarium in Atlantic City… While I kind of felt meh on the boat, dolphins were cute and nice to see.

As for the damage from Irene, the city didn’t seem to face much damage, except a few damaged piers…. And no, we don’t gamble.

It was a nice break and we had dinner at Vineland, NJ… Leaving for home and be back around the afternoon.

Prepared for the big storm

Made the final preparations today and we got C batteries to tie down the grill and toy house and brought majority of the plants inside. The storm is expected to hit tonight and we might loose power if one of the power lines goes down… This is probably one of the strongest hurricanes for a long time that hit New Jersey directly.

If the power goes out, blog updates will be delayed until they come back on… So I can only hope for the best.

Unlike last time, I will be going on a small vacation for two days starting tomorrow. While there will be a post tomorrow, I will be behind one day with Hanasaku Iroha and Ikoku Meiro no Croisèe. I will be making these posts Tuesday afternoon once I come back.

As always, I will be online via smartphone on Twitter and Google+ if anyone needs to contact me in any shape or form.

I’m not surprised that there is no compromise yet… and I’m getting sick of it. I blame the House Republicans, Tea Party and Boehner for not willing to compromise at all and take the balanced approach.
