Fun Time With Paper Mario On Game Cube


As soon as my daughter arrived home from school she hurriedly went to her room and played this Paper Mario on her Nintendo Game Cube.

I just couldn't believe the rush. Is there something goin' on in school that they have to be in "THE GAME?"

It's like they are racing for something I don't even know or aware of?

Then I noticed her smile turned to sadness (sad face) when she cannot save what she'd been through the difficult obstacles in the game. So I grabbed my digital camera and took several shots to keep the memories and scenes plus the level of the game that she had finished. Atta girl that put her beautiful smile back on her dimpled face.

I stayed in the room and watched her how its being played. Whew it's a matter of having sharp eyes, focus on the subject and object to gain prizes. This is better than the first game that Super Mario Brothers had in 1992. I remember playing that old game when I was pregnant with my first born. This game is totally amazing!

This Paper Mario has the most terrific views, flashbacks, fantastic encounters with exciting lovable characters. Truly a game worth buying for kids and adults.

Are You In The Millrace?


Fat chance or thin is in?
Whatever the circumstances and consequences at this point in time it doesn't matter much to me.

I have cravings just like anybody else here on Earth. Simple cravings by having fresh choice of green leafy veggies in the form of lettuce, add slices of fresh roma tomatoes, cucumber, boiled and sliced eggs, thousand island dressing and greek feta and oregano dressing to sweeten the deal > Now this is my humility lunch. Nothing else!

I guess have to feed the whole world just to show that people who really worked hard have to eat small amount of food so that they can give others to eat.

Yes Virginia! There's a current, a different extra ordinary kind of current driving the wheel called MILLRACE!

GRAPEVINEs



Do you know what a GRAPEVINE is? Do you have a grapevine? If until now you don't know what a grapevine then you should be informed periodically.

GRAPEVINE is the network of informal organizational communication. It can be characterized UPWARD, LATERAL, and in SERIAL TRANSMISSION

In Upward organizational communication the information flows any point upward to another point. While in Lateral, the communication flows from any point horizontally to another point in the organizational chart. While in Serial Transmission the passing of information is from one individual through series of individual.

Actually there are 4 Organizational Grapevines known to people who are business oriented. What are those?

1. Single Strand - the best example is when you are line up inside the church for the holy communion, or if you want to receive the + ash on your forehead on Ash Wednesday. Single strand of students going to school. Also while on a line up applying for work, visa, passport, passing through the immigration desk, police line up, line up at the grocery store, line up of vehicle on the road or highway. Single strand of buyers buying certain goods, or line up of passengers waiting for the bus, train, MTR, or strand of single-minded persons, also a line up of people wanting to see the latest concert and movies? Will you line up to see KNOWING the movie?

2. Gossip - the formation is spread like a peacock when its time for courtship. It is also likened to a fan. The gossip must be hot you have to fan yourself. Hehe!

3. Probability - why the term probability? Maybe they are into mathematics and statistics. The presence of pros and cons. Probability is when few of the people involved don't know or unsure of the result about the "grapevine method." This is done through series of test.

4. Cluster - irregular formation. A statistical analysis or classification technique whether the individual fall into different group by making quantitative comparisons of multiple group.

When is the GRAPEVINE becomes informal?

1. SPRINGs UP and is used irregularly
2. Not controlled by top executives
3. Used largely to serve the self interest of the people within it.
