Crying Helps

I spoke to my sister about tonight after class. We had argued about communication with each other and stuff. I had to let out and cry because I do my best as a brother to her and to be the referee for the family. Dad is no longer here and he did not know how to deal with family stuff. I had reminded my sister that I sacrificed my social life and all to be there for family to run all of their errands and make their lives easier. I should be married by now with 3-4 kids living far away in another country loving my life and being a good father to my own family. Plus on top of that promoting my blog, businesses, screenplays, films and more.

But despite all of this, I know dad is proud of me for being there for family to make sure they are okay. That's what women in general don't understand about being there for family. Especially in the Asian family circle.They think they will go to college, get married with career and leave their parents to do their own thing. Unfortunately that is an American lifestyle which not everyone can do because of salary gaps.

I am doing what it takes to get my business making money and making people happy with my products. The reason why I know I deserve a better wife because she know what it means to be committed to family. Of course she will be taller than me Swedish or Russian.

I reminded sister I committed myself to the family and doing my part to contribute financially through my businesses. I seen things and my electronics and my ideas will sell. 

Teaching Yoga With Siri As My Student- Fictional Story

I slept before 8pm the night before. I am excited to teach yoga at my own studio since my earliest class starts at 5am. All of my morning students are women. They are all in their 20's. Some are college students and some work for corporate.

Siri wanted to come along to join me for class. You know she wants to let the women know that she is mine so it is natural for my students to be aware that I am taken. Of course when Siri is not in class, some of the students work lightly flirt with me.

Of course hugs are one of the things I do to my students and of course I don't make them do it. Some women are just "huggers" in general. You know touchy feely types.

Siri tied her hair up at the crown of the head and wore a basic grey tee and shorts. She had no time for yoga pants not that it matters.

We got there at the studio about 20 mins before class and had a few women wait outside of the studio. I can tell from the faces of the women that they are not too pleased that I brought my gf with me. Out of politeness they have to create that fake smile.

We walked in. Of course I hugged the women as my greeting. I had the lights on. More women arrive and they Siri and same reaction as the earlier ones. Siri can sense it but she doesn't care.

The most interesting part is who gets to be in the front row. I have about 20 women at the studio. They all set up. I asked all of them to check in with me at the front. I showed Siri how I check in the women.

During our poses, everyone seems to be relaxed and some off balanced. We got to the final resting pose and I talked about life in general just as a guide.

I made an announcement to the women that Siri is my gf. It made everyone relax a bit. Sometimes you have to let women know you are taken. When you are the only guy in the room, you have to let women know so they can find someone single.

Siri got a chance to talk to the women after class. It was to release any tension in the class. I am happy that she came with me to class.

Siri and I grabbed an Acai bowl for breakfast. That H&M grey tee looks good on her. It's amazing how something simple as a tee can make me happy.

The Alchemist- Nikola's Jar

Nikola is in his office with the windows closed and dark. He chants into the antique relic he bought at the store with Rufus. Nikola enters into a dream with Arrielle.

Nikola: Arrielle, it is time for me to take what is mine.....

Nikola uses the jar to trap Arch Maiden's essence into the jar. A part of the essence went to his bow.

Arrielle: What have you done to me, Nikola?

Nikola: Without your true form, you are useless now Ms. Casinetti.

Nikola leaves the dream.

Gloria

I wasn't sure why Gloria showed up in my dream at the buffet table. I left her alone to do her thing and never bothered or be a pest to her in real life. And yet here she is wanting to get my attention. I don't just think about someone and then they show up in a dream.

I know things have changed and I accepted it. 

A Country Singer Named Test

An auditorium was 1/4 filled with HS students were gathering around during lunch break. I was supposed to watch the auditorium and at the podium there was a blonde female whom I semi recognized. She smiled at me. A small group of HS was semi in front of her. I walked up and said "I'm hungry and I will go to lunch." She said "Okay, I will perform and play music when you get back." A tall football player said "Sorry" as I was talking to "Test" since the HS students heard me talking to her. I told Test.." You must have one of those steel guitars" and I was making steel guitar twanging sounds. All she did was smile. Hmmm a country singer.

It was a good dream for me even though the dream did not make sense to me. I am grateful that they showed me "Test".

Podcasts Last Night

I listened to 5 business podcasts. I applied alot of stuff for my electronics business. I have two more to listen to today. It helps me fill the gaps on on how to advertise and market my items.

Fake Purchase

I received a purchase email yesterday for one of the electronics on my online store. Luckily Stripe Payment services has given me reason that the person using the card is not an actual buyer but someone charging the card to buy something. The good thing is the money has been refunded back to the card and was marked as a fraudulent purchase. There is a reason why payment services are delayed when making transactions. I know more people will buy my products the right way and they will love it.

Dreams with 3 females that I know

I had separate dreams with 3 women I know in my life:

Aubrie- She was at a grocery where I was working as a courtesy clerk or bagger. She was with two tall guys shopping. In real life I used to work at a grocery store.

Gretchen- She was teaching a yoga class in the previous post.

Gloria- Gloria and I were at a party where we were close to the table with food. I had ribs on my plate and she had something similar. I think this one is where she was semi reaching out to me. I think it's cool to see her even though she ignored me months ago when I visited her at an event of her group.

A Woman Named Gretchen

Gretchen came into my dream last night. She was teaching a class and I got a chance to talk to her about one of her memorable quotes. She let me see her iPhone. She was also helping with stretching moves from staff pose. First time she came to my dream. I am happy she talked to me. It was really her.

The Alchemist- Francis The Outcast

Nikola and Rufus plan their big surprise towards the city. Meanwhile Dave and Arrielle arrive on a dirt path road leading to their encounter with Francis.

Dave: That was a fast trip, eh?

Arrielle: It was. We just went like "poof" and we got here faster than I expected.

Dave: I am going to introduce you to Francis.

Arrielle: Who's Francis?

Dave: Francis is  demon that turned against Nikola and company.

Arrielle: What's he doing in Tibet?

Dave: He decided to train alchemists here.

Arrielle:  Is he going to train me as well?

Dave: Yes. He's good at what he does. Having a demon among the alchemists is a good thing because he can train you on things I cannot show you.

Arrielle: Aren't you afraid that he might turn against you guys?

Dave: The elders are aware of that but their concern is more that he is helping us.

A strong gust of wind surround the dirt road.

Dave: Arrielle, cover your eyes, he is about to arrive.....

A human figure dressed in robes arrives and the strong gust of wind stops....

Francis: Ah Hadiel, you came to visit me again.

Dave: Yes my friend. It's good to see you again.

Francis: This must be the one with you....

Dave: Francis, this is Arrielle Cassineti.

Francis: It is my honor to meet  you Arrielle. They call me Francis.

Arrielle: Nice to meet you too Francis. By the way nice entrance.

Francis: Haha. I try to make a lesser entrance than this but I guess it is a habit of mine. Hadiel, I sense that Arrielle has "Arch Maiden" in her soul.

Dave: That's why she does not remember how Rufus ran off.

Francis: So Nikola called Rufus to do his bidding. Nikola is desperate that even he can't do his own dirty work. Haha. What is he doing these days?

Dave: A lawyer...

Francis: Hahaha. I feel sorry for his clients. If his cases wins, I wonder what payment arrangement he has in store for his clients. Arrielle, I am sure you know why Hadiel brought you here.

Arrielle: Yes. What is an arch maiden?

Francis: One of the highest form of an alchemist. Each alchemist has the power to unleash their truest form. Even as a demon, I have a higher form that can be used when I need it. Hadiel will be coming along with us in training. Be ready Arrielle, because I will show you guys things that will come in handy.

Self Worth And Setting Boundaries

No matter what people say, always judge on their action. I let go of many women because they don't show me or make the effort keep their commitments. The excuses they give are endless.

This is why I hold my head high because I love and respect myself. I won't take women's bs excuses on why they keep turning me down. It's a shame that Los Angeles/Long Beach/Orange County women are like that in general. If you don't fit their ideal or have lots of money, then they will find every excuse to not go out with you.

This is the reality that men find frustrating. The bottom line is this....women who are really interested will cancel their friend's last min plans or family plans to see you. That's it unless they tell you ahead of time when you ask them out not like within 3 days before you go out.

The rule of thumb is to check their schedule when you ask them point blank. I think people who are tired of living in CA have seen so much BS there is no more quality men and women because they want to live the fake CA lifestyle.

I have seen changes for over 20+ years living here. It never changes. As long as people live the fake lifestyle always wanting gold or people to make them look good, then this will keep going and the real people will leave CA and the state will lose workers and contributors to the state.

Letting Go Of Jessi

I know it may sound harsh to let go of someone you really wanted to get to know. Yes the main reason is the excuse. I have to trust based on people's action when they don't follow through or make the effort to communicate. If they keep thinking and not say anything to make things better, it tells me they don't care. They would rather pretend to live this wonderful life and say wonderful things to people but do they really mean what they say? Was it just because it sounds nice. If she makes the effort to find and communicate with me, then yes but if no response or no action, then it tells me that I have to find someone else.

Reschedule

I learned when a woman says they want to meet on a Sat and all of a sudden after a couple of days, they make an excuse "I can't go out with you because I promised my mom lunch on a Sat." That tells me going out with me is not important. This is the reason why women in California are not good. It tells me that someone who says "Hey, let's go out with a $500 lunch at some snazzy restaurant", they will reschedule everything else since they know they will be eating somewhere expensive.

A person who really wants to go out with you will make time for you to see you. Even if they promise someone else, they can reschedule that errand unless they tell you" I can have lunch with my mom on Sat and afterwards we can still go out and have coffee and I will drop of my mom at her house." Women in California think that they can do that and play games with men with excuses. I will say that when there is money involved and business transactions, they will have to commit to it because it is on a contract.

Los Angeles/Orange County is the worse for finding dates. All the years I lived in CA, it is better to date out of state women before they buy into the bs California mentality.

Fictional Date W/ Jessi

I finally asked this one female that I always wanted to ask out on a date. She is much taller than me. We went to a tea place after she taught her class. I had a conversation with her about her goals in life and I really asked point blank how she felt about me.

I suggested we drink London Lime which is a refreshing drink made with tea. It didn't take long for Jessi to really open up to me. What I love about her is the fact that she opened up to me. I did not know how she felt about me even though her work kept her busy.

I know I tried to ask her out but she always had an excuse. Finally she made the effort to see me. I felt that she was not sure how I felt about her and getting to know outside of work.

After our drink, we took a walk to the college and I noticed she was holding my hand while we were walking. That's when I knew there was something more to this date. She did give hints and each time she did, I would always ask her how she felt and if she was okay with having a real relationship. Not just dating but something much serious.

Dating In CA- Looking For The Better Deal

I know I said not so good things about dating in CA. It is sad when I ask someone I really thought is down to earth cannot respond to me about going out tomorrow. I planned to have tea and made a reminder about the day to hang out. Now it's like someone might of given her a better offer than going out for tea. In CA if you don't have a better offer to take someone out, good luck.

This has happened many times. Dating in CA, you have to spend hundreds of dollars to woo someone to go out with you. That is not dating anymore. It's more like if you don't offer something big, I won't go out with you.

I think there are women outside of the US that would want to go out on a simple date and not have to worry about how a guy spends money to go out.

The biggest issue with women in CA is indecisiveness and the better offer.

The Alchemist- John's Thoughts Of Characters As An Author

The Alchemist makes me happy as a writer. I don't need major edits and I can play with the structure of characters. I know in standard script or storytelling there is certain elements needed to make a story believable. I think that with this story it can be expanded like a soap opera in some way. I think the people who read my story can visualize what is going on without too many details.

Letting my imagination run wild is what will make this story good. My grammar and structure may not be top notch but it is enough for people to understand what the characters are feeling. As long as I am having fun with this story then I will keep going.

Arielle is still in denial of the reality of what is happening in the real world. In many of the movies you have bad guys either destroying the world/cities or doing mindless killing. Donovan Stratton works as a lawyer even though he can wipe out the city with his abilities, he is kept busy with his work in the real world. If you look into each character you have those who do what they are supposed to do and still have time to bring out their alter ego which is their true selves. I am excited about elements to the story that will show up later on. I want to make this as basic and general as possible.

At The Lobby

Today is going to be busy. Had to drop off Honda for recall notice I got from last May. It was for an airbag part. I also have to take another car to get one tire installed. Then heading out to yoga in the am. Then I got an errand to run at 1pm. Couldn't sleep last night. Was tossing and turning this morning. I think when I got so many things on my mind, I don't sleep well. I also think that I will add more inventory to my store. The good news is I got the okay and still working on more products to sell.

Yoga was good yesterday. It was much cooler than normal which I really like. This lobby makes m feel like I am at the airport. That's a good thing.

The Alchemist- The Cook

Arrielle fights with arnis sticks doing what Dave asks her to do. Arrielle has no martial arts experience but something inside of her is controlling her actions in a way that is impossible. More thugs join in the fight as Arrielle defends herself. Dave watches as a figure in a chef's outfit comes out of a doorway in a nearby building. The thugs stop what they are doing and looks scared to keep fighting. The cook murmurs something in Chinese as the thugs run off.


The Cook: Bravo! You did very well Miss....

The Cook turns to Dave

The Cook: So Hadiel, you came over to train your students. You and I have unfinished business.

Dave: We do have unfinished business Chin. The last time I brought someone here, you stuck your nose in my business and you end up cooking food for customers?

The Cook: Even us Demons have to making a regular living feeding humans. It's not all destruction like you see in movies. It's more about observing and balance. I am sure you are aware of that. The universe we live in works in strange ways. By the way, I am sure you will be happy to know that Nikola and Rufus now have the "artifact". I also heard Rufus has hurt you so bad that I am sure I am not the only one happy to see you fall Hadiel. With that being said.....

The Cook transforms into a large demon with glowing eyes.....

Dave: ARRIELLE, STAND BACK....I will handle this guy...

Dave raises his hands to use the "Mark of Matthias" but does not work.

The Cook: That will not work!

The Cook uses an energy blast to hit Dave to the chest and pushes him towards the wall.

Arrielle: DAVE!!!!

Dave: Arrielle, sticks...please throw them to me......

Arrielle throws the sticks to Dave as he uses them against the cook. The cook tries to hit Dave with his feet and hands. Dave blocks the throws with his stick. He pounds the demon with his sticks but with no effect. The cook throws more energy blasts at Dave. Dave gets hurt and tries to get up. Arrielle tries to help to distract the demon. Dave's hands starts to glow his arnis sticks starts to change form.

His arnis sticks become a totally new different weapon. One turns into a sword and the other a shield.

Dave: OVER HERE CHIN....check out my new toy........

The cook fires an energy blast as Dave blocks it with his shield.  Dave throws the sword towards the cook and the cook is defeated and is reduced to an "orb". The enchanted weapons turn back into arnis sticks.

Dave: I guess the restaurant needs a new cook.....So now you have seen real demons in this world and I don't have to convince you that training with me is very important. If you think this guy is tough, you have yet to face Nikola himself and possibly Rufus.

Arrielle: I don't know how I will pull this off. When do we start training?

Dave: This was just a warm up session... I have to teach you about senses and stuff. The best way is to train in Tibet. We can start as soon as we get there.

Arrielle: We going to fly by plane?

Dave: How do you feel about teleportation?

Arrielle: Not crazy about it. Do we need to pack stuff? Money?

Dave: I know some villagers that can help us with supplies. Money is not a problem. Just hold my hand and we are off to Tibet....

A glowing light has engulfed Dave and Arrielle quickly disappear......

July 4th

I took the day off to do more work. I know it is a holiday and I decided to look for opportunity to sell items online. The good news is I am doing what needs to be done. After selling my first used soccer jersey, I got excited to sell more. I know that with lots of advancement in technology, I will be able to make more items available. The biggest challenge is my advertising. Getting people to find my products is crucial to success.

The Alchemist- Dave's Back

Maxine just left the studio to run and buy some groceries. Arrielle watches out the window as Dave finally wakes up.

Dave: Where did Maxine go to?

Arrielle: Dave, your back! Are you okay?

Dave: Yes.

Arrielle: She went to the store.

They both wait until Maxine comes back.

Maxine: Dave, I don't know what that last battle did to you. You might need to test your abilities. I cannot guarantee that you are 100% back.

Dave: I know you did your best Maxine. I will have to take Arrielle with me to test out my abilities and maybe get her to train on the spot.

Dave says goodbye to Maxine

Arrielle: Dave? Where are you going to take me?

Dave: Chinatown


Dave and Arrielle arrive in Chinatown.

Dave: Arrielle, this part of town is a training ground for new alchemists. I don't know if you remember what happened last time but this time you will see things your normal vision cannot see. I want you to observe people as they do their normal things. See if your senses can detect any strange sensations.

Arrielle: Ok.

They walk around Chinatown observing people. A group of bad guys running off into an alleyway.

Dave: Come Arrielle, it's time to test your abilities and mine.

Arrielle: Wait Dave! This is crazy

The group of bandits are busy doing their business until Dave and Arrielle arrive.

Bandit Leader: Well what do we have here? You two don't seem like the lost type? You cops?

Dave: No we are not. We would like to ask you to return whatever you stole from those people.

Bandit Leader: Hmmm that's strange. You have no proof that we stole anything from anyone. Maybe it's time for us to teach you both a lesson here.

Dave: Why don't we make a bet?

Bandit Leader: A bet?

Dave: If my student here can beat all of you, you will return everything you stole.

Bandit Leader: What if she loses? What do you we get from you?

Dave: My student will not lose. I will personally guarantee and if you try anything funny, you will have to deal with me personally. Arrielle, trust me on this one. Use your intuition. You will know what to do.

Arrielle: I never fought people before and you put me on a sticky situation.

Dave: Don't worry I have faith in you.

Arrielle walks towards the center of the alley as the bandits size her up. One of them attacks Arrielle. Arrielle blocks any attack attempt. The bandit grabs a long chain and tries to use it against Arrielle.

Dave: Arrielle, catch....

Dave throws his favorite weapon of choice his arnis sticks. Arrielle catches them and uses them against the bandit.

Kentucky Fried Chicken

A few days ago, I wanted to get a quick meal before going to a coffee house to get my daily coffee, I grabbed the Colonel's chicken sandwich and potato wedges. The sandwich improved so much especially the bread they use. I also notice the mayo with a pickle too. The potato wedges tasted like Shakey's mojo potatoes. They did a good job. There is one KFC owned by Polly's Pies and it was worth the visit!
