My Head’s Spinning

Posted by renxkyoko in Democrats, Hillary Clinton, Random thoughts. Tagged: , .

Hello !  Renxkyoko Iglesias here.

So,

I’ve been watching the Democratic National Convention  these last few days, parts of which have been recorded by my mother for when I get back from work..  I cannot miss this…. this is  a historical  first, at least in the US, that a woman is nominated for POTUS  by a major political party.

We were invited to a ” party ” at HC’s  campaign HQ  this evening, and I assume this is to listen to HC’s acceptance speech, and to  hip hip  hurrah  with fellow supporters.   I  RSVP’d  for my parents who are coming, and I wish I could go, but I have work.

I have to leave in a minute….but before I leave, I’m giving you a link, and I  hope you can read  Helen and Margaret ‘s  post. This summarizes what I feel about  Hillary’s  rival.

It’s HERE.

Bye for now.

Criminal Minds

Posted by renxkyoko in Criminal Minds, Forensics, my life, Random thoughts. Tagged: .

Hi !  Renxkyoko Iglesias here .

So,

I have  been binge-watching Criminal Minds these last few weeks, and plan to watch all 11 seasons of the show. I’m now on Season 3 , Ep.15.  Each season  has at least 23 episodes. In other words , I have already watched 61  episodes.

Criminal-Minds.svg

Criminal Minds is a police procedural crime drama that focuses on profiling the ” unsub ” or the unidentified subject, the person who commits the crime, rather than the crime itself.  There are always 7  ” behavioral analysts at any one time  that work  at  FBI’s  BAU or Behavioral Analysis Unit based in Quantico..  Check out Wikipedia for the general synopsis.

To those who watch CM……. have you ever wondered why there’s a special jet that fly these profilers to any place in the US  ( even to Mexico )  anytime their assistance is requested ?  Are they the only people working as profilers in the whole USA ?

My professor in Advanced Forensics  says yes.  He even suggests that  anyone planning to  take up Forensics Psychology as a profession  might want to change his/her major, because , guess what, the federal  government has only one or two positions available  for forensic psychologist. States don’t employ forensic psychologists, nor, for that matter, profilers.  That’s why  there’s one episode  where the 7 FBI behavioral analysts from Quantico  get a call from LAPD to assist them in tracking a serial killer. And this is LA we’re talking about, folks. So, it is true,  California  does not have its own profilers.

I have a crush on Dr. Spencer Reid,  the geek/nerd /genius in the team.  He’s  thin, always has that disheveled look,  shy,  awkward…… my kind of guy. ^^”    Spencer Reid

Oh,  and please, please, please, wish me luck.  I submitted my resume  2 weeks ago for the position of Criminalist 1, an entry level position that is now available in our city’s  law enforcement HQ.  Actually, I applied last year yet, but there was no opening.  I was told  though I’d be notified  when there’s a position available, and  got a notification last month, thank you very much. .  I’m sure there are dozens and dozens of applicants that appplied, but I hope, they are all like me, with no experience ( after all , it’s only for Criminalist 1 or  another name, Forensic Science analyst ),  and I hope they will consider me  because I have 2 degrees  that are relevant to the profession,  Cell and Molecular Biology and Forensics Biology.   I’m going to pray to all the saints in heaven because this is my dream job. * ponders * But what if I didn’t get the job….  does it mean, the holy saints rejected my prayers ?  TT_TT

This is all for now.  Thank you for reading.

Answer to puzzle and other stuff

Posted by renxkyoko in random musings, Random thoughts, Where's the iphone ?. Tagged: , .

Hello ! Renxkyoko  Iglesias  here .

Something’s wrong with me.  It’s just 3  days since my last post, and before that, 2 days.  And here I am again !

 

The reason I’m posting again is ….. well, I want to give the  answer to the puzzle  that I posted  last time.  I don’t want to keep some people hanging. Heh.  ^^

So, anyway, here’s  the answer.  Where’s the iPhone ?

DSCN2582

It took a lot of time to draw it, y’know.  My masterpiece.  Check out the original photo.  It’s easy to see coz it’s waving at you.

Cheryl  Wright  has sent me a set of questions ( Liebster Award ) and I’ve decided to answer them here. Thanks, Cheryl !

What inspired the name of your blog ?

Renxkyoko’s  Space…… Ren and Kyoko are the names of the main protagonists of what used to be my favorite manga, Skip Beat.

How long does it usually take you to write a blog post ?

Depends…….  if there are photos, it takes a few hours. Otherwise, 2 to 3 hours, with long breaks in between.

Can you write anytime or do you need to be in the mood.

I need to be in the mood.

What Social Media platforms do you use to promote your blog post ?

Just one……. WordPress

What punctuation mark best describes you ?

[  ………  ]   dot, dot, dot, dot

Do you have more than one blog ?  List below.

YES ! ! My manga/anime/video games blog,  HERE   ! !

Do you see the glass half full or half empty ?

Half – full

If there were no Internet, would you still be writing ?

No,  I’d be reading instead…… not just manga….. you’d be surprised at what books I read. I’m a freakin’ walking encyclopedia, so much so that I can give correct Jeopardy  answers  90% of the time.  ( I’m bad at questions about old, old American TV shows. I don’t even watch the current ones. )  I read books on Archaelogy,  History, and currently reading Calculus for Idiots.

When was the last time you wrote a handwritten letter ?

Last Christmas, I sent out  real Christmas cards to relatives and friends, with short handwritten notes.

Have you ever met in person a blogger that you are following ?

Uhm……..   When I was on vacation in the Philippines in 2010,  I wanted to meet this Filipino blogger……… he declined.   It was clear I was totally rejected,  ~_~  .     Oh, well, his loss.  T.T

Okay , this is all for now.   And check out my  manga/anime blog HERE.

Where’s It ?

Posted by renxkyoko in Random thoughts, Where's the iphone ?. Tagged: .

Renxkyoko Iglesias  here.  Hello, hello.

Maybe you’d exclaim, ” What ! Ren, is that you ?  A post after 2 days ? ”

I know , I know ! !  I post once a month, so this is rather  awkward, isn’t it ?

So, okay,  I saw this on the Internet and  I just have to share this with you, guys.  Well, my thoughts have been rather intense   and deep these past few days,  so I thought I could divert  that intensity to something light and fun, like this one.

A girl from the Philippines posted this on Facebook,  Jeya May  Cruz is her name….. said she couldn’t sleep,  so maybe out of boredom,  she put her iPhone on the carpet and asked readers to look for it  in the image .

So, for fun, can you find the iPhone  on the carpet ?  Check out how long it took you to find it ( if you found it ^^ ), and  post a comment here.  No spoilers, please, just  write the time.  Game?

If we cannot change the heart, legislate.

Hello, hello ! !   Renxkyoko Iglesias  reporting for blogging duty . * salutes *

Before anything else, please check out my anime/manga blogsite HERE.

And check out too Brobrubel’s  post HERE

It’s been 37 days since my last post , ” Graduation “. You’d think I’d have plenty to talk about since then…..

To be honest , I have so much  stuff swirling on my mind  that I don’t even know where to begin.  But I have to start somehow……

First off, the  police fatal shootings  of 2 African – Americans…..  I don’t know what to say.  What else can I say ?  At this very moment, I’m more afraid of the police than a terrorist.  Again, for the umpteenth time, my Mom phoned my brother and told him that if he gets pulled over by the cops, he has to freeze, don’t talk, don’t move, even if the  cops  ask for his license.  Let them  look for it.  Sorry but I’m furious.  These incidents wouldn’t happen to a white person.  These cops and wanna – be  cops should have their heads examined  first for any potential   psychological malfunctions.   Based on  Washington Post’s tally,  Mr. Philando  Castile was the  136 black man killed by the police   this year, 2016. This is so shameful. We Americans have no right to talk about human rights  to other countries if this is the way  civilians  are treated  by the very people  who have sworn to protect them .

Now ,  about the Dallas incident……   4 cops have been killed  by a  lone sniper . It’s revenge killing, that’s what it is.   It’s tragic that it has come to this. .  There’s a wedge between the police and  the community, and the Dallas Police Chief  has, in fact,  said  ” he feels the police do not get support from the community. ” One does not need a PhD in Sociology to explain why this is happening.  As I said, I , myself,  am more afraid of a cop killing me  for some minor traffic  infraction  than an ISIS terrorist  killing me while I’m out shopping.

  • pondering *

My  majors are Cell/Molecular Biology and  FORENSICS Biology.  I just submitted a job application  to guess where.  My father’s  work is directly connected  to  law enforcement/ justice department, and my best friend is a cop.   It’s a whopping  trifecta…. a holy mother of irony. . How crazy is that.

This is all for now.  Thank you for reading.
