[Space shuttle Endeavour safely returned to the
Earth.]
First day of June, woke up at 6:30am, dropped of winter jackets and pants on
the way to work. It was colder than last couple of days but warm enough to
be uncomfortable. I guess I can finally take care of them. Stopped out for
burgers with coworker for lunch. The outside was getting warmer and I could
feel the heat and humidity. Had meeting with a part supplier for the
afternoon. Stayed at the office until 7:30pm then headed out. Worked out at
gym, watching TV showing a tornado in Massachusetts. It was just, wow. Drove
home, relaxed until 11:00pm then went to bed. Tomorrow should be warmer than
today, like 100F. iPhone showing no SIM again so I had to pull out the card
and cleaned the contacts. |

Woke up at 6:30am the outside

hour. I picked up my clothes at cleaner on the way. Drove to a barber for
get my hair cut. I then drove to Souper Salad for lunch, Daido for
groceries, and finally at Sports Authority for my wear for the summer. I
needed to replace my running shorts since some are getting really old. Come

then the DSL modem died around 3:00pm. No internet connection... Oh man.
Spent evening just typing up some more blogs for catch up, then called my
relatives. Going to bed around midnight. |

Woke up at 6:30am, stretched
my body and left apartment around 9:00am for a long walk. Walked back around

something to do with high school graduation? Cooked noodles for a quick
lunch. Seeing the temperature hitting 99F, then left apartment to go to the

by Houston. Stayed until 7:30pm then headed home. Had dinner, going to bed

was out of power. It was soon returned so the business as usual. The day
passed by smoothly, went out for Chinese buffet for lunch with coworkers.

woke up at 3:00am over night then again at 6:00am. Drove to work with no
hustle but the cars were moving fast since there is no more school in
session. Went out for lunch with coworkers, then stayed at the office until

Cooked rice but fell sleep while waiting for the rice to be cooked. Ate

Woke up at 6:00am, drove to
LTF for workout for 40 minutes then went to a nearby golf range around
9:00am. I practiced hitting a ball for 1.5 hours with my coworkers. Had
lunch together at Denny's. I drove home to grab my bag and headed to the

Woke up at 6:00am, left to
work on time and started the new week. It was pretty warm from the morning,
just cannot wait to see some rain, which is shown in weather forecast. Drove
to work and stayed until 4:30pm. I had to call AT&T to see if my order of
DSL modem replacement has been processed. It seems to be that they were
working on it while I did not know so UPS has visited my apartment twice
already. I guess I have to be at home tomorrow morning. Left office and
drove to a dentist to get the formal crown in and also to fill two cavities.
It took a while so I headed to LTF by 6:30pm. The parking lot was crowded
and had hard time to find my lot. Worked out for 1 hour then come home, the
sun was still above the horizon as I was driving on I-10. No door tag from
UPS so I have to see what they are planning to do. Had dinner, went to bed
around 11:30pm. |
| 6/21 |
Woke up while feeling pain in my teeth around
1:30am, could not go back to sleep until 3:00am because of it, or maybe 82F
temperature but fell back somehow and did not wake up until 7:30am.
Stretched my body, called office to let my coworkers know that I have to be
at my apartment to pick up my package. Slight rain started around 9:30am, I
am so glad we get some moisture. It lasted until 10:30am.
I stayed at my apartment until 12:00pm,
then headed to work. It was a quiet afternoon, I was able to concentrate on
my work. Stayed until 8:00pm and then drove to LTF for workout. Come home,
had dinner. Went to bed around midnight. |
| 6/22 |
Woke up at 6:30am. I guess I
heard of thunder in far way. Checked the weather on iPhone and found it
looks pretty bad. Took shower while scared of lightning. Walked out from the
apartment under severe rain. Reported to work, planning to pick up packet in
the evening at the apartment. My plan failed when the UPS unexpectedly
stopped by shortly after a truck left the facility. I had to call UPS to
hold it for so I can go pick it up tomorrow. What a day... Tried a Cuban
cuisine for lunch with my coworkers. Drove out from office around 6:00pm
then headed home first. Went to LTF after finishing dinner and worked out.
There was a note about the someone got mugged in the apartment a few days
ago. No wonder I see a security guy driving around the complex all day long
for the last couple of days. Read newspaper and went to bed around 11:00pm.
Thanks to the rain today, the room temperature was only 82F. Somehow I
stayed up until 1:30am. |

[A tornado struck Churchill
Downs in Louisville, KY]
Woke up at 6:00am, the weather maybe as bad as yesterday. I could soon start
hearing the noise of rain. Drove out under sunny sky to a UPS center to pick
up my DSL modem. I drove to Stafford and picked up my package. I had to wait
for 10 minutes at the window. Drove to work and it was almost 11:00am.
Stayed until 8:00pm, then drove home straight since I had to go visit a
customer early in the morning. Got home, set up DSL modem and get things
setup. Went to bed, after midnight.

[China planning to apply for patents over their
high speed train technology, which I believe helped by Japan and
Germany...?]
Woke up at 4:00am. I needed
to go visit a customer so today is special. Drove to work around
5:30am, get picked up and left to the site. There aren't many cars going
toward downtown. Stayed until 10:00am, I got rained a little bit. Drove back
to the office under sunny sky and then headed to a Korean restaurant for
lunch. It must have rained again, it was wet. I was quite hungry since I ate
my breakfast at 5:00am. Managed to stay up until 3:00pm then I got really
sleepy so I drove to a nearby convenience store to buy caffeinated drink. Stayed until 7:00pm
then drove to LTF for workout. Come home, went to bed around midnight. |
| 6/25 |
Woke up at 6:00am, dead tired, good to know that
today is a weekend. Got up from the bed and stretched my body. Left home
around 8:00am and drove to LTF for workout. Spent about 30 minutes then
headed to Walmart to buy a glove for playing golf. Joined my coworkers for
the practice and we wrap up by 11:00am. One of the coworker wanted to go eat
pizza so we drove to several different stores before we find a place open
today. Drove to Target, Daito, carwash and then at Korger for all the
groceries. Spent afternoon enjoying the internet back online. Got sleepy so
I took a nap toward the evening. Had dinner after cooking dinner. Chat with
my dad in the evening then went to bed around 11:30pm. |

the day. Going to bed around midnight.

[MLB team LA Dodgers filed chapter 11]
Woke up at 7:00am, I must have slept badly over the
night. Almost late for work. I guess I have seen many Police cars these days
along the Eldridge Pkwy and Clay Rd. Stayed until 7:30pm since I had to make
a lot of phone calls. Drove to a coworker's house for dinner party. Come
home at 10:00pm, went to bed around 11:30pm. |

[National Weather Service reported that first
tropical storm for the year, Arlene, is formed]
Woke up at 6:00am, 72F.
Amazing that I was able to up this early. I even get to work 10 minutes
before than usual. Had meetings for the morning, spent afternoon catching up
with the projects. Had to leave at 4:30pm to go to the dentist for the last
time for the month. Left there around 6:00pm and drove to LTF for workout. I
spent one hour there then stopped by at USPS to get a package shipped before
coming home. I had hard time opening my month because of the anastasia, so I
had a canned soup for dinner. Relaxed for the evening. Went to bed around
11:00pm. |
| 6/29 |
Woke up at 6:30am, I think
going to bed before midnight is the key. Unfortunately the availability of
internet connection at home is actually helping me doing that. I spend more
time on PC, and also more time to sleep is kind of ironic. Drove to work as
usual, did not see any officers on the road. Over the day, my coworkers are
talking about no fireworks in Harris County due to draught. Stayed until
7:30pm then headed to the gym. Saw Chipotle on the way back home so I went
inside for my dinner. Come home, stayed up until 11:00pm then went to bed. |
| 6/30 |
The last day of the month. Woke up at 6:30am.
Had to do a laundry so I have something to wear at workout from tomorrow.
Drove to work and stayed whole day at the office. The day started with
cloudy but sometimes got cloudy too. Let office around 7:30pm, headed to the
gym but felt too tired to go workout. I just come home and cooked dinner.
Went to bed around midnight.
