"I said no cheese b*tch!"

So I think I might make a video about this because it irritates me so much about people doing this ish!

You know how you place your food order and you tell the person that is making it how you want it. Okay so, why the heck do I keep getting my order messed up?

I am tired of people putting CHEESE in my food. For example, my breakfast croissant I order from a local bakery from my hometown. I tell them to NOT PUT CHEESE IN IT, and guess what happens? I get a sandwich gushed up with cheese and ish.

The reason why I don't want cheese in my food is because I am lactose and tolerant. Almost the whole Asian population in the world is this way, unless you built up a tolerance or it's just passed down to your family.

And when I eat cheese, it doesn't look pretty...

So like this video if you know what I'm talking about.

And the question for the week is, have you ever ordered something that didn't come out right? What was the result? Did you gag, you have an allergic reaction? What happen.

Kony 2012 Scandal at its Best

As requested, I made this video for you all.


If you haven't watched the viral video for this month, please watch it before you read on.


I say this whole campaign is a scandal for many reasons, mainly because it fails at informing more accurate information about Uganda and the techniques this video has raised awareness to so many people. Not to mention Invisible Children, the organization facilitating the Kony 2012 campaign, does not function as a true nonprofit should. I will talk about how a true nonprofit should operate and how misleading this whole campaign is hence scandal.

As a true nonprofit professional, the first thing that striked me was this article below:

"Some critics have pointed out that, according to Invisible Children Inc.'s 2010 tax records, the group spent just 32% of its funds on direct services in Africa. More money was spent in the U.S., over $3.8 million, on advocacy including "a biannual film tour, cross-platform media campaigns and grassroots awareness events." Another $1.7 million went to employee salaries and benefits." -Krdo.com

A nonprofit should function its budget and funds as 20% Staff/Administration and 80% Direct Services. Not to mention another source and the official website states that the organization has not been audited yet. So we do not know the real transaction and disbursement of the money. Therefore, we are basing all we know on what the organization only informs us.

Now, as for this campaign being misleading, the video only portrays Uganda as being in a "hell-hole," which it's not. In fact, the country is stable right now. It is true that at one point the United States did indeed send over a 100 troops between 2008-11, but only to advise the Uganda military because of the lack technology advancement, etc. The U.S intended to help capture Joseph Kony however no reports have shown they found and captured Kony. According to rumors of Uganda-Americans, some have stated that the whole Kony event happened a long time ago (1980's), and since then they have not believed this video to be true. In fact, they think the video is a joke.

Now to clarify some other arguments about this video, Invisible Children has not made profit from youtube from this video because the video of course shows no advertisements or other marketable placement(way individuals/organization make money from videos).

Though I like the idea of raising awareness about a cause, but is it worth it when the story is not completely true. The world as we know it will always be unknown and misunderstood.

Fast Food Restaurants are not fast anymore...

Fast food restaurants are just not as fast as they use to be. Last week, I literally waited in the drive-thru for 25mins until I got my food. Now to test my hypothesis, I went to two different restaurants, in two very different locations, and two different times.

Enough said about waiting so long to get my food. This really brings up the question why are they under staff? If they had enough people there, I wouldn't be waiting in that drive-thru line. For this country to have unemployment about 6-9%, I'm thinking people do not have jobs because they have too much pride to work somewhere like that. Me personally, I would not want to work at a restaurant like McDonalds, KFC, etc. But if I didn't have a choice and have to make ends meet, I would probably do it.

God gave me patience and sustainability. I could easily get use to a job like not. So anyone can correct me if I am wrong, is that why we have some unemployment? People getting a degree do not have a job because they want a career? People that got layed-off from work are jobless because dead-end jobs of making minimum wage is not worth it?

I think its a pride thing. For people that say they can't find a job, people should be saying I can't find the right job for me. People put this country down sometimes of what they say and I just want to make it clear that people need to appreciate what they have, not what they want.
