For Erika (OC)

This is for Erika... If you are reading this. You have in someway helped me with certain things. I think it is a blessing that I have consulted you. It's not to tell you what to do. It's more of options you may have missed. Every time I see you, I noticed you are working hard in promoting your book and your blogs. People are coming to your circle. Seeing you makes me happy. Keep up the good work. You have me and I am not far away to reach.

I will always remember our time at the San Juan Capistrano Mission. Just sitting on a bench and talking before you head out to work. I feel the luckiest person because you drove from Laguna Niguel just to see me. I am sure that once things change, we both can help each other professionally.

Sometimes we both keep ourselves busy and we miss out on the little things along the way. Appreciating the little things and the validations we both give.

The Alchemist- Rufus's Power

Rufus wearing white linen cloth with bow and arrow in hand. Goes to try out his new toy at a junkyard.

Rufus: It's strange that Nikola wants me try out his new toy. I wonder if he will let me keep it and maybe have my own.

Rufus sees a pile of cars and pulls out his bow and arrow and starts shooting random cars. The cars start to explode at impact and causes fires. The fire department arrives and Rufus decides to teleport to a oil refinery.

With lots of foreign and domestic oil. He starts shooting at it.

Rufus: This is so much fun. Now oil prices will go up because of my bow will weaken supplies and people will have to pay high prices for it.

The news reporters arrive to report the horrible news. Rufus uses the power of invisibility to observe. Nikola turns on the TV and smiles to himself.

Nikola: Oh Rufus, now I will have more clients calling for my help with their legal matters thanks to your intervention.

Nikola calls Rufus on the cell.

Rufus: What is it Nikola? You want me to go to the city and create chaos? Sure!

Rufus goes to the city to have some fun. He shoots his arrows at parked cars. He pauses and transforms into his true form. He chooses Cerebus the two headed hell hound. He size has grown to a size of two school buses

Reporter: We have breaking news to cover. A large canine attacking the city. What's going on here? How do you stop something big?

Rufus finds local coffee houses and destroys them with his powers.

Rufus: This is way too easy for me.

Portola Coffee Lab

I have been going to Portola Coffee Lab for the past couple of days and I have enjoyed their "Flat Brown" which is a 6oz espresso with a ganache of dark chocolate. That is the only drink I would get. It only comes hot. This place gets busy alot.

They expanded to 4 stores. Tustin, Santa Ana, Old Towne Orange and Costa Mesa. It is worth the long lines.

A Visit To Someone

I went to South OC to visit someone in my professional network. Seeing her today made me happy. I rarely visit her to say hello. I felt a 15 min talk with her before she left work made things better. I want to be sure I saw her even though we are not very close. If you are reading this, you made me very happy just spending a few mins with you.

A part of me needed to do some type of closure so I don't have any karma with her. I will still talk to her when necessary. I know when my businesses go through her and I will talk more on a business level. I will admit I have a crush on her and she knows that.

I need this for myself to not burn bridges but to create some type of communication so she can do her work and to do things that make her happy. I did go out with her once and regardless of what happened between both of us in the past, I am truly grateful this Aries female said yes to go out at SJC back then. I don't regret it because a part of me feels worthy to date fire women.

The Alchemist- Weather

Dave excuses himself while Francis and Arrielle train.

Arrielle: Francis, I thought Dave was going to train me and be my guide.

Francis: Dave is your guide, I am here to help with your senses. Awareness for demons is strong and they have entrusted me to train you to sense demons in their disguised forms.

Arrielle: So even without my so called true form, you think I can still be someone that is chosen to stop Donovan?

Francis: Yes. Donovan aka Nikola can be stopped. He wouldn't act nice towards you unless he is scared of you. I am going to help you to create the simple trick.

Arrielle: What is that?

Francis: Rain

Arrielle: Interesting.

Francis: It's easy.

Francis and Arrielle sitting down.

Francis: There are no clouds in sight. Perfect. Think of cotton candy. If you envision cotton candy in the sky, it might appear.

Arrielle realizes after thinking about cotton candy, clouds seem to appear in the distance.

Francis: Now think about a fan set on low blowing on your face or direction.

The clouds seem to move towards their direction.

Francis: Think about wringing out wet clothes with your bare hands...

Light rain starts to fall in the distance.

Francis: Good job.
