Nothing Significant to Report

We had the paintball range at Bellows Air Force Base. It was good, but I get purple marks all over my body. It was a good day, well, not so good since the Los Angeles Lakers lost the game to Denver today and my wife just got angry with me again. We are 5 thousands miles apart and 5 hours apart as well. I don't know if things will get better but it is really suckie right now.
Well, tomorrow, I will be heading back to Los Angeles. Let's see how things are working out with me and the future but it does not seem bright at all.
Good night Zimmerman

Just another Ordinary Day with Beautiful Weather

Yes, all good things must come to an end but also all bad things must come to an end as well. Today I check out the website meetup.com and was able to sign up for a few group/organization include: All Things Oahu, Hikers and adventurers and Volunteer Honolulu. I must get involve in the community and discover other things besides work alone which might be a depressant in the long run and stress me out as well.

Work is wonderful. I belong to a great organization. All personnel are high speed with high moral. These people are smart yet humble. I belong to a high speed organization does not meet I’m high speed. Indeed, I’m far away high speed. But I must try my best to stay on top of things and hopefully won’t get burn out.

Tomorrow, we will head to Bellows for some tactical exercises. So, go figure. Where we work at, there are plenty of lands to train on, but we must go to a better place to train.

Next Wednesday, I will head to H5 Homeless Shelter to feed the Homeless people. I believe it will be a fascinating experience. I actually did this before in Santa Barbara, California; one of the richest city on Earth. Now, you go figure, too.

Life in Hawaii

As a single man. It is not as fun as you thought it would be. Hawaii is good for vacation (in this case you would travel as a couple or with the family, never by yourself). Nonetheless, Hawaii is blessed with extremely nice weather. I live in Mililani Mauka (the Mountain part), very close to work and the house is next to the park. At around 5:30 in the morning, thousands of bird would start chirping, sun rise, but my window face the South direction, so can’t really see the sun rise or sunset.
In the picture is the street leading to my house. I do not remember (memorize) the street name over here yet. May be it is hard to memorize as the name of streets are foreign to me or I’m just plainly ignorance.
I think Hawaii is over rated, but my job rocks. Well, this 4 day weekend, I will be visiting my family. June, will be D.C again, July will be the Big Island, and July head back to Los Angeles again, August D.C again. I think that is enough traveling for me. I really need to settle down now. But hey, you can’t complain. The life is yours to keep; you do whatever you wish with your life.

Life goes on

All good thing must come to an end. You can't be happy for the rest of your life. You are born, you grow up, you get sick and then you die. Along the way, there are many things that either slow down or speed up the process. How to live your life? It is a funny yet very serious question that hardly anybody know how to answer.

Choices: You have many choices, but choices lead to consequences. There is action and reaction. Pham, you think hard about this and don't screw up along the way. Be very careful. There are things you can change but there are things that you can't change. You need to distinguish between the two and find the equal equilibrium.

Sunday before Monday, May 18

Sunday-shine

Well, my car’s been alright so far. I took it to Church this morning (40 miles round trip), and it’s been alright. Clayton Kershaw threw 7 shutout innings, the Lakers advanced to the Western Conference Final against Denver Nuggets. Life indeed is great. I’m planning to go back to Los Angeles next 4 days weekend (Memorial Day). Who says it is a 4 day weekend? Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday and 30 free days vacation out of the year. Well, that is the way it is in the Army. The Army is funny most of the time. On the other side, you may be deployed, far away from your loved ones for 15 months (at least it is not straight, and you don’t have to pay tax (unpatriotic)).

Talking about upside and downside, if you continue to always think about your downside, you probably will have a very miserable life. 99% of the people say that life is unfair. It is like the wind, it starts from the west and head to the east but eventually it would have to return to its origin. The same thing goes with the Water Hydrological cycle as well. The water from the river keeps pouring to the Ocean, but the Ocean is never full. Nothing is fair and nothing is unfair, but if you look at the big picture, the poor man and the rich man all come to the same place, which is the graveyard.

Life is indeed very beautiful. God bless.

Kailua Beach

Wake up early in the morning. Drove the Jeep to Kailua Beach just to see why it is so popular. It is a beautiful beach, voted the Number 1 beach in the U.S. Shallow and clear water, relatively calm with almost no wave, children swimming by the shore. There were ought to be thousands of people over there today. While everybody was busied worrying about what kind of activity to enjoy and the first thing I observed was this homeless man sleeping on a bench outside of the Men’s bathroom. Such a beautiful place, so elevated but this man, homeless man probably doesn’t even care about the scenery. He was probably worrying about staying alive. It makes me wonder what it like is to be homeless. Well, at least I still have a car to sleep in.

Talking about car, I just bought a Ford Crown Victoria a few weeks ago and the vehicle’s intake manifold blew up on me. Ford made that thing out of plastic. I don’t know why they do that? To save some bucks? Well it cost me a fortune and the Economy of Hawaii just got a bit richer due to my unfortunate fate. I gambled with an old car (1997 with 154,000 miles), and I pay for the consequence of gamble. Or I'm just too dumb to buy such a ridiculously dumb car.

2nd stop of the day was Chinatown. I prefer this Chinatown than the Chinatown in Los Angeles because there are just so much fruits and vegetables to choose from. The produces are actually cheaper than the Commissary. I know where to go get my produces from now on. I wish I can upload some pictures, but I could not able to find the cable to upload the pictures. I probably left it at work.

Life is beautiful!

New Life

I have decided to continue with my blog. I know that there won’t be anybody around wasting their times to read these dumb posts, but I will start to write again anyway. One of the writing teachers back in the ancient day told the class to write journal every day in order to increase the creativity and improve the writing in terms of grammar and sentence structure.
Well, it has been a long time since I posted anything on this blog. This blog was designed for the families of Wardawgs Soldiers whom served in Operation Iraqi Freedom 07-09. I will keep this blog alive and one day when I won’t be able to move my legs and undependable, I will take a look back at the blog and read about the old memories.
Life is beautiful. Godspeed!
