First day of October, woke up around 7:30AM. It
was still dark outside and foggy. The fog burnt out by 8:30AM. Went for a
morning jog. Came back to my apartment around 10:30AM and had early lunch. I
had to stop by at the office to clean up few items there. The whole day was
sunny and I bet the daily high went to near 80F. Had warm evening which
concerns me a lot because the morning usually is cold. Going to bed around
10:00PM.
 Absolutely
no cloud... A typical fall day |

Woke up at 6:00AM, my friend just got discharged
from S. Korean army for his military service. He called me on my phone but I
guess I miss it. Went to work around 8:30AM after went out for running. I
had to visit client for the second time in a week. I came back to the office
in the evening but just as I was going to gym in the evening. Thundershower
began, involving small hail, I think my car now has more dents... Came home
to eat dinner and headed back to the office. Going to bed after 10:00PM.
It's pretty warm. |

Woke up at 6:00AM, went for running in the
morning before going to work. For the third day in straight, I have to go to
client's place. I had lunch on the way, and received a flu shot for $9 at
the factory. It's good to be a company employee... I drive back to
Indianapolis around 6:00PM, had dinner around 9:00PM after the meeting. Went
to bed around 11:00PM. I am very tired this week. |
| 10/6 |
Woke up at 6:00AM, I just did not feel like
going for running in the morning. Went to work and stayed whole morning.
Because the company is having 30th anniversary, I got afternoon off. I had
lunch with my coworker who is just about to quit current job, then picked up
my car after getting done with routine maintenance. My car almost runs like
what it had been a while ago. Came home around 4:00PM after stopping by at a
bank and carwash. Took a half hour nap in the evening. Finally had a warm
rice for dinner. Spent evening just relaxing.
 Almost
full moon |
| 10/7 |
Woke up at 6:00AM, went to a gym in the morning
for practice. I had pretty good workout so I was sweating very hard. Stopped
by a haircut place, grocery store. In the evening, drove out east to take
pictures of the full moon but did not go well. Disappointed, drove back to
the apartment. Called home in the evening while cooking a bag full of mini
hamburger steaks for myself. Going to bed around mid night.

Woke up in the morning around 8:00AM. I must
have been still tired. Went to running, but seems to be too hot wearing long
sleeves. Stopped by the Finish Line nearby to buy two pairs of pants and a
jacket for my indoor clothing. |

Woke up at 6:00AM, since I was up late last
night, I was able to go out for running in the morning for a short time.
Went to visit client and come back around 5:00PM. The road in front of
apartment entrance was very busy because someone was pulled over. I went
back to the office for the meeting and came back to my apartment for good
around 10:00PM. Went to bed straight. I think it is getting colder from
tomorrow. |

but then began hearing noise which the rain start falling. I missed a chance
to go out and run because it was raining fairly well. I went to work on
time. I got there before my coworker does today. Spent whole day at office,
besides stopping by at Kinko's nearby for some errands and my apartment for
my lunch. Came home around 6:00PM and had a beef bowl for dinner. I am glad
I can eat a warm rice in a weather like this. Expecting freeze watch from
tonight, and by tomorrow night, it could go below freezing! |
| 10/12 |
[Freeze watch in effect]
Woke up at 6:00AM, 31F in the morning according to the news. I went to work
with some warm cloth but did not expect that the office is that cold. So I
was almost catching cold. I had slight fever whole afternoon and took hot
shower as I come back to my apartment. I went to bed around 9:00PM to take
care of myself. I purchased a new digital camera since I did not like the
one I had since May. It's much smaller so I may not be taking anything
professional for now...

their all Panorama Cars and most of Panorama Supers]
Woke up around 7:00AM. It's cold again (32F) but I am now use to it. I was
not sure if I should go to a gym but I went there because I did not want to
miss a class. Had a pretty good workout. Come back home, took a hot shower
and headed to go buy groceries before I get too tired. I spent evening
relaxing but because the air is pretty cold. I was in bed for some times. I
usually call home but I wanted to go bed early in the evening so I was
asleep by 10:00PM. I put my Sony digital camera on sale on ebay and was sold
in 30 minutes. My, looks like some people really wanted one then... |

[Hawaii island was hit by a big earthquake]
Woke up at 8:00AM. I think I had enough sleep over the weekend. I saw the
outside temperature was still 30F in the morning so I waited for a while
then went for running around noon. I bought some chicken sausages and onion
last time, I made carbonala for lunch. Went to Best Buy to purchase a
replacement PC at home since it's pretty old now. The new one is slightly
bigger but has faster CPU and more memory and hard drive space. I am happy
but surprised to see the decline in price of laptop PCs in the last couple
of years. Shipped out the camera I sold yesterday. Goodbye!
 New
laptop PC. Toshiba A105-S4384. I cannot believe the price for decent
performance PC declined 1/3 of what I paid 2 years ago!

Woke up at 6:00AM, went for a morning run but
had to stop at short. Went to work and stayed there whole day. The rain
began falling around 1:00PM then raining pretty much whole evening. I
brought my work PC and worked on it until the battery run out. Going to bed
around 11:00PM. Not so cold anymore but still being careful. |
| 10/17 |
Woke up at 6:00AM, maybe because I went to bed
on time last night, I woke up just fine. Stretched my body but because the
outside was still raining, I did not go running in the morning. Reported to
work, took care of assignments. I had lunch at a subway and the cup I
received had a hole in it. I got it changed safely. The rain was finally
over in the afternoon but because I had to stat at office until 6:00PM, I
did not get to run. The temperature is a lot higher than the cold time. I
don't think I need to worry too much today. Expecting some sunny morning
tomorrow. |
| 10/18 |
Woke up at 6:00AM. Went for a short morning run.
Because it was very much cloudy, I did not have to worry about being cold.
Stayed at office whole day to take care of issues. Went to gym in the
evening. I did the board breaking for the second time, and I think I will be
ready for the promotion test on Saturday. Came back to the apartment around
8:30PM, since I have to be out of town from tomorrow, I needed to pack up. |
| 10/19 |
Woke up at 6:00AM. I was not in the mood for
running so I did not go out. Left apartment to pick up a rental car. I got a
2007 Camry again. Drove up to Michigan and arrived at destination before
2:00PM, while stopping by McDonald's. There were so many police cars on the
road, including a couple of those discovering white SUV carrying about a
half dozen of flat screen TVs in boxes (I suspect they are stolen
merchandise...) Stayed at office and had dinner with coworker at Big Boy's.
Checked in at a hotel and went to bed around 11:00PM |

Payday Friday. Since one of my credit card is
almost maxing out, I had to use the money I got this morning to pay for
them. I want the company to pay me back very soon! Woke up at 6:00AM. My leg
was not in good shape maybe from driving too much so I did not run again. I
went to work and had meeting in the after noon. I left the office before
5:00PM for Indianapolis bound. Arrive at home around 9:30PM, had to take
care of mails and others so I ended up going bed right before 11:00PM. |

Woke up around 8:00AM. I think I had enough
sleep for now. Went to return the car in the morning and practiced for the
test today. It's pretty sunny and warm today. Took the test in the
afternoon. I think I did okay. Went to work for the afternoon to take care
of mails. Stopped by at a grocery store to buy stuffs for the next week.

sure this time. I spent another whole day at the plant. Decided to head back

going to regular place. I had good time eating |

Woke up at 5:00AM. I wanted to go to the airport by 6:00AM because the
flight departs at 6:50AM. I ended up catching a ride to the airport at
5:45AM. I was a bit worried if the place is busy, but was not. I got onboard
the aircraft, and the plane left McAllen into a dark sky. It took a while to
see sun light coming up
 At sun
