My best friend:)

Ea e Britney! Prietena mea cea mai buna! Ea e langa mine fie ca  sunt trista fie ca sunt bucuroasa! 
Este o chihuahua de aproape 5 anisori(ii va implini pe 5 Octombrie:)) ,cu un zambet stramb si mereu somnoroasa. Prietenoasa si afectuoasa.
O am de cca. 3 ani  , si am luat-o de la cineva care nu a mai putut avea grija de ea. Din pacate a trebuit sa "divorteze" de sotul ei Skyler ,care a plecat la Las Vegas!:)))
Inchipuiti-va un ghemotoc de vreo 2 kg.:))

Cooking demonstration-Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa Ca

Duminica Iulie 18. Orange County fair in Costa Mesa CA.. Prietena mea Tina  http://ciaoflorentina.com/  a fost invitata sa faca o demonstratie de gatit.

Ce a gatit?Tiramisu!!!  Pozele si filmuletele au fost facute cu telefonul,asa ca nu au cea mai buna calitate.

Dupa ce "kitchen fairy" aka Diana(lol mi-a luat cateva minute sa relizez ca era vorba despre mine) a adus portiile racite din frigider , s-a trecut la degustat produsul final. Yummy! Am mancat 2 portii si va spun cu mana pe inima ca a fost DELICIOS!

http://www.ocfair.com/2010/   Targul are multe atractii-de la  sculpturi in gheatza  pana la  Motorhome Madness Demolition Derby.Si multe multe altele.

Welcome to the Real World!!!!

Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this!

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world..

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself..
Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up,it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time..
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Hai-hui ....

La cules de portocale si avocado in Camarillo(sa nu care cumva sa evitati  outlets...)

4th of July San Marino California

                                                                                                                                       

Shame on you California !!!!!! Again and again!!!

Bill would allow state colleges to consider race

"SACRAMENTO, Calif.—The California Assembly has approved a bill that would allow the state's public universities to consider race, gender and other demographic characteristics when they admit students.

The bill, AB2047, passed on a 44-24 vote Thursday and now moves to the Senate. It would apply to the University of California and California State University systems.
Democratic Assemblyman Ed Hernandez, who introduced the bill, says the legislation is needed to address the education gap in California. Currently, the state's black and Latino students trail whites and Asians in college attainment.
But opponents say the measure violates Proposition 209, a voter initiative that banned public institutions from considering race or gender in admissions or employment. They also say such ethnic classifications are outdated"


Asa ca dragii mei,daca sunteti albi sau asiatici si intentionati sa mergeti la  UC sau sau un Cal State mai bine va orientati spre alte universitati!Sau chiar un alt stat! California devine tot mai stramta!:(.

I stand with Arizona !

Desi nu am scris nimic despre asta,urmaresc ceea ce se intampla in legatura cu legea din Arizona.Noua lege votata de catre guvernattoarea Jan Brewer(you go girl!) este copie dupa legea federala,doar ca aceasta va fi respectata. Ce zice legea?Pe scurt spune asa:in cazul in care cineva va fi oprit de catre politie in legatura cu un incident(de traffic etc) si vor exista suspiciuni ca se afla in tara ilegal,se vor cere documente care sa aratae statutul legal in tara. Ce documente? Un ID,DLsau un pasaport. Oricine este legal in tara,poate sa prezinte unul din documentele cerute.Cei ilegali...nu pot! Ca o paranteza,detinatorii de GC sunt obligati sa-l poarte tot timpul cu ei,si asta conform legii federale.
Vi se pare ca este ceva anormal?Ganditi-va ca in Romania este la fel,nu?Te opreste politia,prezinti un carnet de conducere(daca conduci,daca nu e buna si o CI). N-ai,ai probleme.:)
Toate acuzatiile facute de catre activistii de stanga,plus sustinatorii lor sunt frectii la piciorul de lemn si minciuni sfruntate.
Si vine California(care este un stat in faliment) si spune :NU,noi vom boicota Arizona!!
De ce?Pentru ca aici traiesc cei mai multi ilegali din America.Cati?Numai D-zeu stie! Sistemele de educatie,medical sunt falimentare, iar California are numarul cel mai mare de asistati social.Asta spune multe. Oamenii de afaceri pleaca din California pe capete,spre destinatii fiscale mai prietenoase. Asa ca balanta se inclina,si te tot inclina!
Va ganditi ca ilegalii au numai joburi in care fac 6,7 $/h?Va inselati! Nu de mult,unul dintre angajatii din office din firma unde lucrez,a fost descoperit ca si ilegal.Si asta din cauza unui accident de masina. Si credeti-ma ca facea bani frumosi!Cum?A venit aici de cand era copil, a mers la scoala pe gratis-liceu plus facultate.Apoi a "imprumutat" un SSN si uite asa cika s-a integrat. Era doar un exemplu!
Revin la boicotarea Arizonei de catre cateva orase din California! LA-ul de exemplu ia 30% din necesarul de electricitate din...ghiciti?Exact...Arizona!!! Credeti ca locuitorii LEGALI din LA sunt fericiti cu acest boicot?Noo,dar cine sa-i asculte pe ei?Ei sunt doar cei care lucreaza si platesc taxe,deci vaca de muls.
Asa ca Arizona a reactionat si a zis asa:
Got Lights? A friendly reminder from Arizona utilities!
Asa ca voi incepe sa cumpar lumanari :)).Noroc ca e vara,si pot sa fug de caldura la ocean!:))))
Pull the plug Arizona! I deserve a vacation!:)

Facts: -70% din americani aproba legea.
          -29% din ilegalii din LA sunt pe welfare (conform LA Times)
         -Costa Mesa s-a declarat"a rule of law community"
  and so on!
       

Memorial Day Weekend 2010:RIP and may God bless the memory of all who gave their lives. Every day is Memorial Day.

To those who paid the highest price for our freedom,
I can think of nothing more important to say than these two words:
 
THANK YOU

CALIFORNIA'S WAR DEAD


Coming here from Vietnam, I felt he was protecting the freedom I had gained. I'm very proud of what he did. — Dung Dang, father

I consider Joe to be the brother I never had. He was the most passionate, unbelievably loyal man I've ever met. Guys like him don't come around very often. -Erik Vendt, college best friend and two-time Olympic silver medalist

Cocalari sau nu? Asta-i intrebarea...!

Un video postat pe youtube a reusit sa incinga iarasi spiritele prin presa din Romania. Am vizionat si eu filmuletul si nu mi se pare iesit din comun. Cu atat mai mult cu cat nu cred ca era o stire de "senzatie". Pur si simplu cei 2  par niste tineri euforici,extaziati de faptul ca au ajuns in LA. Parerea mea.Sa nu aveti impresia ca-i aprob!Pur si simplu nu este ceva concludent pentru romanii din LA.
Mai e ceva:cred ca intentionat au filmat acest clip,ca sa "moara dusmanii de ciuda"! Si fie vorba intre noi, dupa ce am citit comentariile de pe pagina PROTV, cred ca au reusit! :)

Stirea aici.

Noua "rivolutie"-Made in Romania

Fratilor ,citind o stire de pe Evenimentul Zilei,m-am trezit ca am stari emotionale contradictorii.Am ras,m-am intristat,m-am socat dar mai ales m-am ingrozit! Pai bine bai loazelor,astia de vreti "rivolutie" ,da' de "munca" ati auzit? Turnati copii pe banda rulanta,inseamna ca sunteti oameni sanatosi fizic. Stati si beti in birturi,si va plangeti. Sa va dea guvernul,primaria,aia care muncesc si voi sa va petreceti timpul facand sex si uitandu-va in sticla.
Am vrut sa preiau "mingea " de la Cristi, si sa scriu  ceva frumos,da' ma scuzati,mi-e asa o scarba......
Asa si uite si articolul cu pricina Pralea si cu mandra lui .
Si sa fiu in ton cu subiectul:Haoleoooo...v-am pupat!Pe portofel !

P.S.Poza este sugestiva pentru noua "rivolutie" din Romania ! Asa ca o atasez:

On the road: Hai-hui spre San Francisco si retur (Partea a-2-a)

A 2-a zi a calatoriei  o petrecem in San Francisco

Downtown San Francisco

Zoom pe Alcatraz Island

Masina...masinutza ...:)))

Golden Gate

San Francisco Panorama

A urmat Fisherman's Wharf. O zona cu multe restaurante,seafood market ,comercianti care vand tot felul de nimicuri.O frumoasa zona turistica.Am mancat cel mai bun desert :Golden Gate-Banana Split. Yummy. La "Ghirardelli Square". Adika  aici:

Si incet-incet s-a terminat si a 2-a zi a calatoriei. Si a venit  a 3-a  zi (si ultima)

OK a venit timpul sa ne intoarcem in LA! Am ales de data asta o ruta mai rapida,pe 5 Freeway . Am trecut la un moment dat printr-o zona rurala foarte asemanatoare cu cea din Romania(mai putin infrastructura).

Am oprit si am cumparat capsuni si portocale direct de la producatori.Toate absolut delicioase.

Ca o concluzie:San Francisco este superb,un oras cu accente europene, destul de curat si foarte busy tot timpul.Prea windy pentru gustul meu,iar oceanul este rece  tot timpul anului.
