One of my fomer blogs, The Banana, is now a ghost-town ... technically

This is the first time back blogging but this time not out of desire. This is actually the first post since last November and I didn't intend to create another active site of this time. This post is about the now-uncertain future of one of my former blogs, The Banana, as all photos are posted under a third-party site also owned by the parent company of Blogger, which hosts many of my blog sites.

Since tonight right around 10:15pm, I started deleting all of the photos (all of which were media entertainment-related) from this site through Picasa because Google is shutting Picasa. But very slowly. For those of you who don't know .... well I can't simply tell you completely about it but Piscasa is the place where photos that were uploaded on Blogger are also on Picasa as well. That means if you want to remove an image from your blog, you need to do so through Picasa because with that site, that image will be remove from the site directory in its entirety. For more information, please read the article from Knoij.

With the announcement of the end of Picasa - I recently found out back in Late-February when I awkwardly google 'Google' - to me, that means that I now have until further notice to delete all of the photos because after Picasa's shutdown not all photos would be translating to Google Photos. Even worse, I'll be no longer able to delete a photo when the changes happened. Yes you can still remove it from Blogger. No, that photo is still there on the web - you just have to look at the photo's URL before thinking about removing it. and then maybe ask Google to delete it permanently.

That's all I have to say about it. I want to write this post about it. In the next several days, The Banana will become a ghost-town .... just a blog with all broken photos. Yes, I'll be making a new version of it, I'll be putting my photos on my on web directory but we all have to wait until probably next year or so. At one point as of now, I have a feeling I won't be making it active this time around. Let's see what happens, but I don't want to get into detail of that situation. Anyway thank you for reading this post, and as of right now, this is the only post that I wrote this year.

Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live

Speaking of Donald Trump, the Republican candidate will host "Saturday Night Live" this week (or probably in the next few weeks, I don't know). Not everyone is excited. The Latino community tried to protest, but NBC already posted a few promos before the rally could even begin. Despite the protest, NBC will go ahead with Donald Trump's appearance and Trump says that controversy would bring good ratings.

Though this is not the first time Donald Trump has ever appears on that late-night show. I don't know anything (and I don't have time to look for it) but the only Donald Trump appearance on SNL that I could remember was that Trump was in a skit with a bunch of chicken mascots dancing in the background (he also says he wears a chicken suit, but I didn't remember him wearing one). That was back sometime in 2005.

Donald Trump hates John Harwood

Back in last late-October, many of the 2016 Republican candidates are not amused at CNBC's John Harwood. Donald Trump was initially not one of them, saying that he "had a lot of fun." But he decided to finally attack the moderator in his press conference.

Sure, Trump loves debates and but hates moderators who...I don't know write perfectly. Depsite that, Trump loves Becky Quick and thinks that she "is a terrific person."

Donald Trump, Ben Carson, and CNBC

Okay let's talk about the Republican debate on CNBC. Before the debate began, Donald Trump and, surpringsly, Ben Carson team up to protest the debate until it's timed for two hours...despite the fact that Trump and Carson don't like each other in the Presidental race. To their demands, CNBC shortened the debated into two hours.

However after the debate finally aired, Donald Trump, Ben Carson, and the rest of the Republican candidates are not amused at CNBC moderators. They think that the moderators aren't doing a good job. I will talk more after this.

Butt workout today from now on

Alright. Today is Sunday, November 1st, 2015. Halloween is over, clocks went back one hour and I'm a slacker.

Right now, I'm going to be busy. I'm going to do my homework through the entire day except for the evening hours where I'm in driving lessons. I'm going to be doing my English homework - which probably going to be shorter - and doing the video editing project to turn in. School is tomorrow so I better not slack this time.

I'm also going to be doing my butt workout again from now. This time, I think I can box squat with a slightly unique way. It feels like standing with my feet freely, with no furniture to stand in front of to support is giving my right knee a bit painful. For explanation about my history, I love butts, big butts, especially women's butts. But in late-Winter-early-Spring 2009, when I came across 'butt workout' on one of my aunt's emails (she was using my computer for a while, although it's technically not as it seems since it was the only one and it was on the living room), I was intrigued and started watching a couple of the videos for the next few days. Since then for the next few years, I sometimes google search butt workout and read the exercises and also read two butt workout magazine articles: one on Seventeen in 2011; the other in Woman's Health in May 2013.

Happy Halloween....I just don't care about it

Hello, I just want to come out on this blog to say Happy Halloween.

However, I actually don't care about Halloween that much this year, which is unusual. In fact, I don't even care if Halloween happens on the 31st, despite the fact that I saw a Party City billboard...only two-three times when I was in driving lessons. To make other matters, I don't listen to "Monster Mash" at all. I usually listen to it at around Halloween, but at the last minute. One point I initially planned to listen to "Monster Mash" throughout the month of October, but I kinda slack through as October starts to fling by. Instead, I listen to it for a few several days incluiding Halloween and that was it.
