| 1/4 |
Woke up at 6:00am but stayed in bed for a while.
Drove to work, stopped by at drycleaner on the way. It was cloudy then
turned to be rainy during the afternoon but did not rain during lunch hour.
Had Korean food for lunch. Stayed at the office until 8:00pm, the outside
was raining hard so I get soaked, stopped by at gym for workout then went to
a post office to send out a bag of flour to my friend. Drove home, and the
rain was finally dying down. It was still raining when I went to bed. |

Woke up at 6:00am, decided to
go get my Texas Driver's License so I drove in the morning to nearby DPS.
The parking lot was full already at 8:00am and there was a long line in
front of the door. I had
to stay there until 11:00am, at least I don't have to take a driving test
which is fully booked until February 1st. Drive to work and stayed until
6:00pm, picked up two coworkers to have dinner at a Japanese restaurant in
Houston. Stayed there until 10:30pm so I get home around 11:00pm. Reading a
letter from the apartment complex about 3 broke ins in the recent month. I
am not sure how this happens... Went to
bed after midnight. Started out with a bit cloudy but sunny for the rest of
the day. |

Woke up at 6:00am, went to
chiropractics to get my body x-rayed. They told me that I am fine. Nice to
know. Then went to work. Stayed at the office until 7:00pm
except for the lunch time which I went to a Chinese buffet. It was another
sunny day. Drove to gym and worked out full 30 minutes and come home. Ate
dinner which I bought from Kroger. Now I have orange juice in refrigerator.
Going to bed around 10:30pm. |

[News reported North Korean Youtube site hacked,
replaced with a movie of cartoonish dictators.]
Woke up at 6:00am but stayed in bed until 7:00am. Drove to LTF for swim. I
think I am getting better workouts every time. Drove to a post office for a
sheet of stamps, car dealer for a quick service which I had to give up since
the place was crowded so much, and a barber to get hair cut but had to wait
long, until 11:45am. Done in 20 minutes and drove home. Made noodles for lunch and
left home at 2:00pm to go shopping. I went to a mall, then grocery stores. I
got enough seasonings so I can start cooking again. Getting cloudy in the
evening and even expecting some bad storms over the night. Come home around
4:00pm then relaxed for the evening. Going to bed around midnight. |

Woke up at 6:00am but stayed in bed until
8:00am. The rain was falling hard, and I could see lightning occasionally.
Getting out from the bed, stretched my body. I did not have much desires to
go for workout so I decided to take things easy. Had lunch at 11:00am and
went out for grocery shopping at Kroger. I came home, spent afternoon
without much of accomplishments, I did iron shirts, organized a few items so
I feel a bit better to be at home. Went to bed around 11:00pm. |

Woke up at 6:00am, must have slept wrong so left
side of my neck hurts. Drove to work and stayed for the day. It is getting
chilly and I know there will be a cold day tomorrow. We got a visitor from
Japan and decided to have a dinner together. So I left work at 5:30pm then
drove to Lifetime Fitness. Worked out at gym for 30 minutes, my neck hurts
each time I move but did not stop me. Come home by 7:00pm and dropped off my
bags then headed outside. Get picked up by my coworker then went to a
Japanese restaurant. Spent a long hour drinking and talking, come home
around 10:00pm, used heater before going to bed again. went to bed around
midnight. |

[Verizon Wireless announced that they will be
offering iPhone]
Woke up at 6:00am, a bit chilly in the morning but only around 40F so it was
not so bad, but cold enough to use a heater. My neck is better today but still
hurts a bit. Drove to work and stayed until 7:30pm to take care of an issue.
The air was cold for the day, and much colder when I stepped out from the
office. Drove to LTF again to workout for another 30 minutes, then come home
around 9:00pm, had dinner then typed up my blog a little. Hard freeze
warning in Houston, expecting 23F. |
| 1/12 |
Woke up at 6:00am, news
reported of 30F so must be one of the coldest weather in the year but not so
cold as predicted. Drove to work and stayed until 7:00pm. Went to gym for
workout, come home, stayed up until 11:00pm then went to bed. |

[Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paul
in Brazil got flooded due to severe storm]
Woke up at 6:00am, went to
chiropractics in the morning then headed to work. Cloudy day. Stayed at
office until 6:30pm, then headed to a hotel by the airport to pick up
coworkers and took them to Pappas Seafood Restaurant at northwest part of
Houston. I had Cajun Chicken
and Shrimp fries. The food was quite good but felt the price is quite
expensive, around $20 for regular plate and more for the special ones. I
took them back to the hotel after 10:00pm, drove back to my apartment. |

[U.S. government to cancel
virtual fence project due to delay in schedule and cost overrun.]
Woke up at 6:00am, not so cold anymore but still
needed to have heater on in the morning. Drove to work,
arrived a bit later since I was taking care of customers last night. Went
out for lunch with coworkers, and I worked at office until 6:00pm. Drove to
LTF for workout, then come home. I realized that I did not turn off the
heater when I left in the morning and running whole day. I will get a high electricity bill for this... I did a
load of laundry before going to bed around 11:00pm. It's a weekend. |

Woke up at 4:30am, drove to
Houston International Airport, thinking about of catching a flight to
Detroit. I did not get through the check in process so I wondered what was
wrong, then realized that the Delta flight is not from IAH, but HOU, which
is Houston Hobby Airport. I gave up on the weekend trip, and felt quite
tired. At least I have credit in the flight so I think I will use it for the
next try. Sad thing is I did not have enough energy to drive to another
airport, I must be tired, and glad I did not take the flight. Come
home, observed my laziness day. I went out to Kroger in the evening to buy
some groceries since they are all out. Cooked dinner which has some
vegetable in it, and went to bed around 10:00pm. The rain was on and off for
the entire day, I guess I needed a day like this. |

Woke up around 6:00am,
listening to classical music and sound of rain. It was not cold at all but I
did not want to get up. I stayed at home until 10:00am, then headed to LTF
for swim. The pool water was murky, I was not sure what's in it. I did
not get sick so it must be okay then. Bought lunch at Berger King, and spent
afternoon at the office to catch up reading newspapers. Stayed until 5:00pm,
then drove home. I relaxed for the evening, some occasional rain over the
night. Went to bed around midnight. |

Woke up at 6:00am, went to work and stayed until
6:30pm. Worked out at LTF then I had to go to BestBuy to buy a replacement
of ear buds cap, rather than buying a whole new one for $100. So I spent
only $16. Come home around 9:00pm, went to bed at 11:00pm. |
| 1/18 |
Woke up at 6:00am, and it was another cloudy
day. Drove to work and stayed until 6:30pm again. Went to LTF for workout

drop toward the weekend, expecting as low as in the mid 30s. |

Woke up at 6:00am and outside is sunny. Since I
have an doctor's appointment at 9:00am, I took morning easy, washed dishes
and brought out some clothing for the trip starting tomorrow. Went to
chiropractics for the morning, stopped by at grocery store before going
there to buy four bags of chocolate, and also a car wash. Reported to work
around 10:30am, then worked throughout the day. Stayed until 9:00pm then
