Is been quite some time since my last post! gosh and is also been almost a month in my work! I'm so proud of myself, I'm making some significant progress! yeah me!!!
I'm so proud to announce that I bought my new laptop, it was coming any ways so I bought it. The old one got a "short circuit" and sadly-- I wasted almost 50$ to buy a new power adapter to it, which BTW its working perfectly fine...LOL!
I had a lot of info so I guess i have two options this time, one weather I open the laptop myself and take out the hard drive to recover the files, or go to a computer joint to do that for me, but that would cost me another 50$. Oh well, I think I might do option number one.
More news!!! yesterday at work I almost chopped my index finger while sharping my knife!!! HAHAHaH! at least i know I still alive and not dead! Dammit it hurt like the very same Hell! blood was being shoot from my finger like and Alfred Hitchcock terror movie. ROFL! Any ways I got a bandage and kept working, must safe some money for college. Other news! i got my bike stolen the other day!!! yeeeehhh great progress!!! now i have to buy a new one and I have to ride the bus until than!!
Well, I guess so far so good. I was under huge amounts of anger, but i guess that's life sometimes, when you turn your back for a sec shit happens. Other news!!! I'M SETTING UP MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL! I just need to buy the digital camera and I'm making the presentation for the channel and the pilot program NEXT MONTH yeeeh!. Is going to be interesting "I hope" so stay TUNNED!

The good moments makes me feel good.
I'm happy, I must confess that after all the hard work I've done in the new place my boss congrats me for the amazing job I'm doing so far. That is like good to me, I mean, despite how dark life can get, there is always something that will shine ahead.
The most grateful part of the cake, is that I'm starting to realize that I can't put the world upon my shoulders every time I look into the past, the best way for me to keep the progress is to give myself some value to all the job I've done and give myself great self esteem after such reward of congrats for the good job i'm doing. That is helping me to overcome some issues in my life and to confront my minotaur; my heart gets fulfill when good job is done and satisfaction comes as a reward inertially.
I'm going to keep up the good work! it seems to help me out a lot! :D

Lobster: Impossible
The guilt! JFC! I almost had to pay 5 lobsters the other day because I didn't know how to cook them..or at least I thought knew how. Well, so far the stress with the lobsters and me were completely an odyssey.
This is the story of Alan Cedeno, me, yes me, a guy who´s a line cook who thought that knew everything about cooking techniques and suddenly I make a huge mistake, I boiled them in cold water, all 5 of them in the potter; well almost boiled them because my boss, came to safe the lobsters...LOL!
(If you have bad dreams when you hear a lobster being cooked alive and feel the lobster's pain, skip next paragraph).
The gorgeous and fresh lobsters were waiting in the potter to die slowly while me was doing something else, when my boss came almost punched me on the face LOL! and told me if i Knew how to cook the lobster , I told him I think I knew, he said well that's not how we do it here...I was like DANGIT! and me thinking, ( I don´t want to get charge for the lobster...I don't want to get charge for the lobsters..) surprisingly he taught me how to cook them with all the patience in the world..( one of the reasons I like the guy, his got bad temper but reasons at the same time..only bad temper for like 20 secs than nothing happened), so what he did was to tell me to get a metal bowl with ice and water, made me take the lobsters out of the potter and than he showed me how to cut the tails, knuckles, and head out. Later get the tails and knuckles to boil and the head safe them for a "bisque" which is supposedly a a crab cream soup, but in Fratelli Lyon where I work is with Lobster..so any ways after the lobster mission was done... I was embarrassed ROFL!
I learned a new way of cooking lobster and it was a really hard mission, but at the end of the day everything went smoothly.

Rack or Rag? WTH!?
Yesterday while doing some "mise in place" french term for putting in place I got so confuse by the English words such as Rack and Rag. I mean Rack is a frame in which thins are hung or kept; which is used to put food or other ingredients already prepared to have some order, and Rag is a piece of cloth used to clean, polish or dust.
It was funny because the chef while in service hours he was asking me for a Rag and I brought him the Rack... HAHAHA!
I was so *red* I didn't know where to hide, but it was funny. My boss is not the same guy in work than out of work but when he is in work, dammit! he is very good! so I didn't know what to reply when he asked me if I ever worked in a kitchen before...ROFL! He even told me that if I came from a McDonald's or something related with junk food restaurants. I said NO! - Of course not! and he was like - Seriously!? are you sure you're telling me the truth?! I was really scared at first but hey the Rack and Rag thing was a new thing to me, he even told me if he wanted him to speak Spanish LOL! - I can speak Spanish perfectly 'papa' and I was like - Hell no! :D that was like...I need to hide I need to hide hahahaha.
By far he is the best chef and boss I've met so far, hope things will be good this next 3 months ahead.

My rind of soul
I have good news! I got my new job on Friday and I'm officially permanent in the restaurant now! YEEEEEEEEEHHH!!! This is a job that will provide me with moneyz!!! I'm so happy. Right now all I have to do is work my ass of and well resist the pressure. I'm a man I have to learn how to handle pressure; in the other hand now that I have my sit paid for my SAT test, my calculator and now I have the job...All I have to do is to take things normally ...easy...like a ripple in the water to make things easier and to rinse all the bad stuff within me to make a better version of me. All those roars! all that madness! all that resentment... I have to deal it with my mind and watch out for my health.
Health is better, is important.
Is going to be a rough 6 months ahead before I start the University, but I will feel proud of everything I've done within myself and for me. I'm tired and sick of rivalry and all I'm going to do is be wise, because after all what it matters is my health, I hate depression. I want to become supple with my friends, family and working partners. I won't surmise to things that will hurt me, and give me depression. Instead I'm just going to do some synergy against that to prevent anything that would mess up my brain system.
No arrogance, no hate, no resentment.

My health and sanity
Yep, is been a rough month. and I've done very good progress. Right now I have no job--it is not because i didn't do the right things or because i had bad attitude, but it was because the lack of clients in the restaurant and that they didn't had much money to pay the workers (such as me)...
I have high hopes that this Friday I'll find another restaurant to start working, so far I've been preparing for the SAT test. I really need does scores, they will open me more doors in the long the way.
In the other hand, I've been with resentment, sadness, and hate for some personal issues. But I've recovered fully because I understand now that sometimes things need to take other paths and continue life without hate or resentment but with kindness. I'm starting to be more kind with any resentment I've have had with people in over the years, is been a practice to me that I've been doing for a long time but it gets more abstract by the second.
Is not like I want to be Jesus Christ or something like that, I don't believe in religion I'm an igtheist! but it is true that with hate and resentment I will not progress and really...I would only do damage with that. I'm quite happy now that things for me are getting in proportion in some things but still disproportional in some other aspects in my life. Time gets slow to me the majority of the time because like I said, I want to run so fast that I never catch a break to respect myself, take care and be kind to me.
I'm doing a hell of a good job! and I feel proud of myself.

The more you know the more it hurts
Well, is the afternoon on a Tuesday and I've done all my diligences i n the morning. So far I have my bank account now and my debit card; hopefully tomorrow everything will be all set to proceed my payments.
This afternoon is been very interesting and melancholic. Interesting because I have a friend in Facebook named Jonathan Vos Post who co-author and was friend of Richard Feynman, my favorite scientist. Feynman taught him many things I believe during 1968-1973. I'm very glad that he could share some comments in Facebook with me, he says that he was one of the most human minded persons in the 20th century-- that in my book is an a+++ to me. I'm looking forward to talk to to Dr. Jonathan Vos Post in the future to discuss anecdotes and analogies about Feynman.
In the other hand I'm very melancholic because today I couldn't find my adapter for my laptop because they are very expensive, so I decided to take it rough and wait a little until I can buy it on the internet where almost everything is much more cheap. I just hope that the adapter is good and not in disguise as the usual pirate adapters are. But, I'm very positive that it will do fine and that i will be much more happier once it gets in my mailbox...ROFL! I'm just breathing deeply and preparing psychologically when I get my adapter because I need it so much that I know that the adapter feels the same way...hahahahaha! Any ways, happy ending as usual and all singing happily and drinking champagne because the adapter is at home!
