Five For Fighting–The Riddle

Children Getting Older

Only two cars left in the lot, some area so bright, some too dark, just like life, up and down, happy and sad, we all have those days. So quiet, not like the old days, full house, laughter of children and yelling parents. I am not exactly sure if number 27 really does it. Was it a year of learning, understanding, trying, striving, finished achievements?

Goals were met, but i could have done more, i could have made stuff and things. Instead of chasing shows, dreaming of the impossible, following rules, listening to the priests, giving tender love, being reasonable, I should have surrendered, go back to being chinarosesz, oh how i miss her. Small smiles again =)

Hah! Another bus passed by, so far I counted 3! So amazing but still lingering. The same thing, day in, day out, rinse and repeat, feels like a robot. I have to get out of my place, fully determined to finish my listed goods, a new pair of earrings, a new chain for my pendant. Aw, this world in my heart, I know I am home, I should let it run to me rather than chasing shows, perhaps a new strategy for 27++

My Stupidity > yours

My impatient pattern, get well, run out, do stuff, get sick again. I now officially announce my sick leave is almost out and it's not even February. Your stupidity cannot begin to compare. Three times the prescriptions, I somehow "lost" them, two times seeing my doctor, ignored her advice, thought I was more right, well, this time, not so right of me. Should have listened after all.

wow, this must be the weirdest year, well, maybe not so much. For once, I thought I was fully recovering, went back to the office, a few days later, coughing goes right back to square one, even worse, runny nose and minor headache. This must the most depressing month, I've been blogging nothing but about my cold. In the last month or so, I could have done so much, made so many things, accomplished so many tasks, instead, I'm still waiting...

Went home on Sunday, first thing my mother said, "You lost a lot of weight, come, cough meds, and soup on the table", while she's cooking, dad is watching Fox News at the same time lecturing me on how I should move back home instead of living on my own. Seems like everyone's life is moving on in my family, while they were getting ready for a traditonal family meeting with the other family, I was fantasizing...again...knowing that it will never come true, yet, I keep on trying, hoping that one day, some day, it would happen, you know...the standard thing of dreaming. Perhaps, I'm really jealous.

I didn't have to attend this meeting, dismissed due to my horrible cold, though I was for sure dressed up for it, hehe, they would be tired of seeing me anyway. I wouldn't be focused, rather I would be too focused on something else. Something a bit more exciting than family to family exchange of formal goods.

Man, tonight, this one is going to be a long one. I could write forever, make up another story, why is it so bright in this living room, so many lights, but dear god, if there is even one around, I can't even get up and turn off this light. I could hear the sound of my mother feeling hopeless because she cannot be here to take care of me. My eyes are slowly closing, spell checking this baby, so not happening tonight, at least I didn't forget my html.

Damn it, another sneeze. Mother nature, what did I ever do to you. It's funny how staying home so much turned me into a creative blogger about my cold. Just awesome, another useless talent.

uh oh, it is kicking in, my eyes are slowly closing, dropping this phone, hitting the publish button. Here goes nap number 1.

Hm…

Hmm..What should I write up tonight? It’s been pretty blank lately, I kind of like it. My toe is getting better and my coughing has dropped to almost zero, I no longer cough in the office. I tried to run for a little bit, failed horribly. However! I can walk the stairs, very happy to at least accomplish something this month.

Got a new game, a bit behind time, played Mass Effect 2, but not so into it. I need a new game or I can keep trying for few more days until I’m into it.

Salsa dancing class starts on Wednesday, sort of like first day of school. I’m a bit nervous but at the same time excited. Until my toe is 100% recovered, then I can get back into running, cancel salsa, a life without some daily routine is killing me. I must do something or else I feel uneasy.

Hmm...Time for bed. Good night world.

Snow Angels

yah!!! It’s snowing in Redmond today. This time, much more beautiful than last time. Been stuck at home for too long, this is definitely entertaining, and not only that, it’s so pretty

But darn it, I’m still coughing. Looks like it’s going to be another day or two. Going to call it a night early today. Man, I really miss being outside, mainly running. How much longer is this going to go on, this really blows.

I love a perfect Hitman!

Aw this is so cool. I’m watching another hitman movie and I cannot describe what else could be anymore perfect than this. Every single detail, every single assassination is done perfectly, with the absence of pain, with politeness, and with consideration. I mean, it’s hard to assassinate people in a good way, but a perfect hitman is rare to find. No hard feelings, but with loving and care before the job is done.

ouch..y

Man this really blows. I have been sick on and off for the last month. Semi broken toe, a cold, still semi broken toe and now a new cold. This is amazing. Its like being trapped in a cage of sickness. Very thankful to have my 360 and my piano. Can life any sicker than this... I keep on dreaming about the beach and the blue sea water. Damn it, still coughing, back to reality. Time for nap number 3 before food is delivered :-)

How to set full screen in Windows Phone 7

I’m trying to make my browser full screen. Would be nice if they have an API to set full screen on the Browser control, doesn’t look like it.

One way to get this working is to get the RenderSize from the Current Page. Below is the code being applied on the browser control. You can set the same for other controls.

// Set full screen
webBrowser.Height = this.LayoutRoot.RenderSize.Height;
webBrowser.Width = this.LayoutRoot.RenderSize.Width;

Impossible Sickness

1/3/11, beginning of the year and I came down with a cold. This is impossible, it is new year, supposed to be good sign, dollar bills, pretty faces, new beginning, sweetness, money trees, positive wishes, good influences, and healthy body and mind. If I’m going to start with a cold, could be a negative sign. Aw man, this is like seeing a black bird.
