How come I get more spam on my Gmail account?

I have a Gmail and a Yahoo! e-mail account.  I use Gmail to communicate with my friends, and Yahoo! each time I need to leave an address to subscribe on something.

Yet, I get far more spam on Gmail than on Yahoo!  Right now I have 162 items in my spam box in Gmail (last 30 days), including phishing attacks, but only 27 spams on my Yahoo! account with no phishing mails.

Perhaps the spammers got my address from one of those freaking chain mails I've asked so many times not to send to me?  This sucks.  When I ask not to send me more of that, the sender sometimes gets offended cause he/she thought he was doing me a favour (???), plus "what's your problem?  Just click on Delete and it's gone forever!".  How ignorant.

My last night at this apartment

Today I packed everything and carried almost all of my belongings to my new apartment.  I've only left my laptop computer and the essensials to spend one last night here.  I hope tomorrow my old landlord doesn't give me problems with the return of my deposit money.  But from what I talked to him yesterday, it sure stinks like he's spent that money buying something for himself.  Mother fucker.

When I was coming again to this apartment for my last night, I got off the train, and it was already quite dark on most of the way to this building.  By the time I arrived to the lobby, I noticed a small bump under one of my sandals.  Strange.  I went upstairs, and before I reached the entrance to my apartment, I took off my sandal, and looked at the sole.

It had some dark brown matter stuck to it, and it stank.  I'm not sure it was dog shit (there're lots of stray dogs on my way), or what.  I'm not even sure it was shit.  Arrrggg!!!  I'm not taking this crap into my apartment even if this is my last night!  I came up with the idea of going to the shared balcony upstairs where they have many plants.  I grabbed the hose and opened the water to wet the soles of my sandals.  Then I scrapped against the mosaic like floor... and voila!  Clean soles!

I hate cockroaches

Fuck, I detest roaches!!!  Ever since I moved into this apartment, I've always been careful not to leave at night anything that might attract any kind of bugs:  cockroaches, ants, etc.  I always wash all of my dishes, pots, etc., and wipe the cooking and eating surfaces.

Yet, lately almost everynight I'm finding small (upto 1/4 inch) cockroaches, which I always kill inmediately with some insecticide spray I have at hand.  Where did they come from?  When I do the cleaning of this apartment, I always finish it up by spraying the gap under the door so no bugs will come in the night from the corridor into my place.  Is it possible they're coming from the sewage pipes?  Yuck!!!

Good thing I'm moving out in a couple of days.

Too much superstition!!!

Fuck, I'm starting to feel uncomfortable with so much good luck stuff in this office.  It's a difficult situation cause to me it's all superstition, but for the guy who brings those things, it's part of his religion!  Gotta be tolerant!

But tolerant with burning incense in an enclosed space, changing the position of the furniture to bring good luck (Feng Shui), bringing to the office plenty of amulets and useless pictures, repainint part of the front of the building, bringing a fish tank, bringing a few heavy flower pots that have to be put out and then in again each single day, and one day even putting food and drinks in front of the office windows!... Isn't that tooooo much?

By the way, the guy didn't say so, but I think the fish thing was for good luck too, as Feng Shui I think mandates some water and red color to bring good luck.  He brought one black fish, one red fish, and seven orange, all of them of the same species, just different color.  He brought them one Thursday.  Following Monday, three of the fish were dead.  Tuesday morning, two more dead, including the black fish, which had turned mostly white.  Does this mean our business is going to flounder soon, and perhaps die?

What's up with Xmas?

I'm confused I've got Xmas greetings from a lot of people who didn't bother to ask me first whether I'm Christian or not!  And definitely, many of those guys are not Christians either.  What the fuck?  I think these people are lowering Xmas to the same level as Halloween.  You don't need to believe in witches to celebrate Halloween.  Likewise, you don't need to be Christian to celebrate Xmas?  Non-sense.

I think it probably has to do with Xmas being associated to the celebration of the white people, so it's kind of posh to join the party even if you don't know or agree to the origins of the festivity.  Sad.

Is that the way people do it here?

Today I was at the supermarket choosing one toothpaste... there were so many of them.  I saw one that was labeled in English as well as the local language.  It said in the use instructions that people should brush twice a day or after each meal.

I wonder, does that mean that people here only eat twice a day or what?  Maybe that's their secret to stay slim.  It's not very common to see fat people on the street.

Ha! If the local government here implemented such a system, it would collect so much money it could finance Nasa's next moon trip.

What the fuck? This guy must be truly retarded to give this lame explanation. Does he really expect people to believe him?

Unpleasant surprise at KFC

Yuck, today I had to eat at KFC again for the first time in perhaps six months.  I usually like KFC, but here it's very expensive, and the locals give it a funky twist that I dislike.

The previous time I was there I had a very good looking chicken sandwich, but it was fucking hot, not to mention expensive.  That's why I hand't gone again all of this time.

Today it was an emergency, as the other alternatives for lunch were even worse.  So I went in, and found they were selling something that resembled Taco Bell's chalupas, except that it had a piece of chicken inside.  I really miss chalupas and gorditas, so that's what I ordered.  Actually I ordered the Value Meal, which came with a small cup of something that resembles a potato salad, and a glass of Pepsi (or was it Coke?).

Yuck, the salad was not potato salad.  It had some chunks of tuna, some corn kernels, some soy beans (edamame), and some shredded carrots.  But the terrible thing was the sauce, which was supposed to be mayo.  Whatever they put on it really looked like mayonaise, but it was very sweet!  Sorry, not for me.

Now, going to the chalupa, which here they call a "Puff", it had a piece of fried chicken, some shredded carrots, broccoli, and a bright orange sauce that tasted like cheddar cheese.  Well, this one tasted okay, but I think that the broccoli and the carrots were out of place, and the way they assembled the thing really sucked.  Whoever wrapped it, he has never seen a propper chalupa before.  And whoever thought up those funky combinations... I don't know what to say.  Sweet mayonnaise with tuna?  A broccoli in your chalupa?  Yeah, the culture is different here.

Bravo for the bull!
