Some highlights from February of 2015 (in PST time-stamps, generally), as follows:
2015-02-01 - Sunday - 12:05 AM PST - I emailed people: "Joey Arnold [email protected] - Attachments - Sun, Feb 1, 2015, 12:05 AM - to Thomas, cindyrose03, daehee.hong - I want to ask for advice about visas. I have 2 main questions. I have included information about my visas and passport below. You can share it with people. My current visa is a B3. I extended it 5 times. The last extension cost $200 at a travel agency and it expires 2015-03-10. Now, my first question is, can Americans in Vietnam go to Cambodia and come back the same day (with a letter that allows them to reenter) and make a new visa in Vietnam after that? I heard of an American who had to stay in Cambodia for 3 days in January 2015 before returning to VN. Secondly, since immigration rules/etc. have been modified as of this year of 2015 in Vietnam, can Americans get visa extensions/renewals as they did in previous years? I will try to search for answers online. I will also try to ask around. I plan to go to Cambodia in March and I will try to come back to Vietnam and I will try to make a new visa after that. 3 months after that, I'll try to make a visa extension or I'll leave the country again and come back and make a new visa if I can. Here is some information about my passport as follows: Joseph Scott Arnold - American - Current visa type: B3 - Current extension expires - 2015-03-10...." I showed them scans, pictures, of my passport, of my visa stamps, stickers, extensions. Peter responded. 2015-02-05 - Thursday - 07:57 AM - I replied: "Koreans in Vietnam can't extent B2 visas?" He didn't say anything after that.

2015-02-04 - Wednesday - 11:13 PM - Blogspot - My First Desk - I had my first desk in the kitchen next to the two fridges, the floor heater, the cabinet, my parent's hallway, and near the dishwasher and oven. I remember using this desk as far back as about 1990 or so when I was 5 years old. I used it for some years until my teen years I think. I do not remember the exact demise of it but I would mostly draw in it. One time when I was about 5 years old, I awoke to scattered papers that spilled from my desk. It seems that my dad marched by it at night knocking my art to the ground. As usual, my dad was drunk that previous night and I picked up papers with no questioned asked. I do not remember what my mom said to me at that time or even if she said anything to me at all. I can be a rebel and I can be stubborn. I can be the kind of person that does whatever I feel is right, which can be subjective. However, I can also be pretty compliant as well, especially when I was younger. I would submit to authority pretty well and follow instructions like a saint. My name is Joey Arnold, the Original Oatmeal, born in 1985 in Forest Grove, Oregon, USA. I want to try to find pictures of my desk on the internet. I want to share as many stories I can related to my desk. My desk was yellow and had a pipe-like metal frame structure or legs. The desk opened up when you would lift the trunk of it like a car. The trunk was also the table or desk of the desk as well."

2015-02-05 - Thursday - 06:24 PM - Blogspot - I shared this private Facebook message that I had with Lincoln Hawk - On Blogspot, I made an allegation concerning Lincoln which may or may not be true, as in accurate, completely, entirely, partly, or even at all. At the time, I felt like he wasn't trying to distance himself from me, possibly. But then again, I don't know if this is true or not. There may have been a few different reasons to why I wrote. We can talk more about this in detail, later. There may be more to this story. In other words, it is a long story. I wrote on Blogspot, the following: "Lincoln Hawk Doesn't Care - Lincoln Hawk told me that he does not care that I am mad at him. I saw that he untagged himself from something I wrote. I might be over-reacting, but it is possible that he does not want to be associated or connected with me. I consider him to be like a mentor among other things since the year 2007 in California, USA where I met him. He was like a brother or something. However, he may be ashamed of some my decisions in my life. I question my life as well. I'm not here to say I'm perfect but I am just a little sad or confused or something. Facebook Message Thread - 7 hours ago - Joey: 'I'm mad at you.' - Lincoln: 'Take a number and get in line. You can also email your complaints to DONTCARE.com.' - a few seconds ago - Joey - 'You don't want to be associated or connected with me.'"

I emailed my brother the following outline a few minutes ago. I have been living in Saigon for 2 years now. I came to Vietnam Thursday, 2012-11-29. I taught at a school in a city (Bac Ninh) about 20 miles from the capital of Vietnam, Hanoi, for 5 days. The manager didn't know much English. He fired me (without a proper reason) without pay. After that, I volunteered at a restaurant, Papa Foods, for 6 weeks. I washed dishes, mopped floors, helped, etc, & taught English to staff and to customers. I applied to schools to no avail. I taught friends in Hanoi for 2 weeks, at a museum in Hoa Binh for a week, and Thanh Hoa for another week during the Lunar New Year Festival (Tet). After that, I moved to Saigon 2013-02-10, Sunday. I signed a 6 months contract with a school and they gave me 4 months of work and wouldn't let me renew my contract and said that they had too many other teachers and that they couldn't give me more work and then they said that I was a bad teacher. With this school, I was sent to different kindergartens, preschools, and elementary schools in different districts all over Saigon. I also worked at a New Star Center in the Tan Phu District of Saigon for 6 months. In September 2013, I taught at an after-school American English program at a high school (Nguyen Thien Hien) in the Tan Binh District near the airport until February 2014. At the same time, I was also teaching at other houses and cafes, or what dad would call "Yard Clients." I lived in different districts at different times all over Saigon for the past 2 years. Where I have lived in Saigon includes the following places:
2013-02-10: Tan Binh District, TP.HCM
2013-02-17: District 8
2013-04-08: Pham Ngu Lao, Balo Backpackers Hostel, District 1
2013-05-01: Binh Thanh
2013-08-15: Tan Binh
2013-08-20: District 12
2013-09-20: Tan Phu
2013-11-15: District 1 & Chua La, Go Vap (sometimes)
2014-03-20: District 3
2014-04-01: Thu Duc & Tan Binh
2014-05-01: Remi Cafe: District 10
2014-06-01: Mr. Ribs, District 4 & District 7
2014-10-10: Old Ink, Pham Ngu Lao, District 1
2015: I am still renting the same room in District 1
Students come and go. Sometimes, students are happy and sometimes they blame me for things that might be their problems. For example, if they're not learning well enough or fast enough, they sometimes say it's my fault. I begin volunteering with a small Christian club called FYG, the Fellowship Youth Group, in April 2013, and they begin paying me some money in November 2013. They paid money for my room for a year. As time went by, we added classes and I began making more money with them. They seem to be Christian as far as I know. I am not sure if they are related to Wayne of Oklahoma. I use to teach all over Saigon. I would spend hours each day on my bike going from place to place like dad. I lived and taught at different places at different times for weeks to months at a time per place or per class. Teaching at one place or in one area or district can be better and can save time. So, I begin canceling my classes in other districts and began only teaching in District 1 as of December 2014. I moved to my current room in an area full of backpackers, as in foreigners, on these streets here in District 1, as of October 10, 2014. I bought a $600 camera early in December 2015. This camera is not a camcorder but it has a video button. This was my first camera-camcorder I ever bought in my life and the most expensive. Before this, my last camcorder-camera that I bought was for $200 at the Wall Mart near Whiz Bang near our house and near Rick's Tires. My brother's name is Rick. That camcorder was a camcorder first and it was also able to take pictures. It seems that this camera/cam has better lens that are a little more analog or more focused with the zooming than some camcorders. Now, I only teach near my room in District 1. I mostly only teach at a milk tea shop near the park that I go to each day. I meet people in person at this park that is smaller than Central Park in NYC. Now, the students come to me. Things are better in some ways because I don't need to ride my bike to my classes now. I like to save more time. Before, I was more scared and was thinking that I can more students and more job security if I were to go around more often to my students. But I think what I have now is still better. My new life in Vietnam is a long story with many twists and turns, but I believe that God wants me here at least for now.

You are living your dreams, while others are just reading books about their dreams or watching movies or videos about it, but not doing anything to pursue them. Your courage is an encouragement and inspiration to others because just because there are bumps along the road doesn't mean you should just stay at home, because that road, though difficult at times, is taking you to your destination. Enjoy the ride. As Taylor swift says, haters are gonna hate hate hate. That's all they know how to do. But there are encouragers out there too that God will put in your path at the right time. Yeah, do you realize there are a lot of people afraid to even leave the city they are from, let alone country. If I had a wall of heroes, I would put your picture on it."

Ted Pickett told me that the haters are saving you time by getting out of the way so you can focus on your core customers, audience, the ones that may want it more. That's true.

2015-02-26 - Thursday - 11:18 AM - Blogspot - Facebook Private Message Conversation with Michael Bones - 2014-10-10 - Friday - 2015-02-27 - Friday (ICT) - He asked me questions about what happened on Wednesday, the 8th of October of 2014 in Vietnam, in District 4, at a Circle K store, when police came due to false allegations. I filmed some of it. I uploaded videos to Facebook and YouTube. I talked about it. I wrote about it. Thousands of people saw the videos. Many gossiped about it. I was trying to raise awareness to many different issues. But Mike told me to step back and to think about things before reacting. But I wasn't reacting. I think about what to do and I proact. I'm not emotionally lost and manipulated by rage, emotions. Same thing with Alex Jones, Trump, and other people. People lie about Alex and say he cannot control himself. Likewise, people have falsely accused me of things. It's a long story, more on this later.

Tuition: negotiable. People always ask me how much is the fee for learning English. That question is very hard to answer because I always end up offending people if I go too high or low. For example, I suggested a higher price here which led to a public outcry automatically. I could say to say people a number like $100 per hour. However, people are going to misunderstand what I mean by that. Jo Arnold: Ja English: TP.HCM. If you are reading this, you might be misreading it. Most people misread what I write. People misinterpret what I write. Even native English speakers misunderstand me. People jump to conclusions and to deductions and assumptions and associations and implications and they read between the lines and read into things some things that are not really there. What I wrote here is an example of how easy it is for people to misunderstand things in English. I did not say that I charge $100 per hour. I wrote that "I say $100." Now, that is not a requirement and it is not an exact demand. Well, it can be a demand, but people can barter to bring down the price and I also teach for free. People who know me knows that I negotiate prices with people. People are prone to fighting and to misunderstandings like this one. This is a perfect example of how people are pretty arrogant, ignorant, blind, and too quick to assume, imply, judge, and to jump to conclusions and logic without sufficient evidence and data that can help them understand what is really going on. I did not say that I get $100. That would be different. I did not say that I will not teach for less than $100. You need to know that I do not get $100. Sometimes, I might get $5 per hour if I am lucky. However, education is still priceless and some teacher are paid as high as $30 per hour or more. What I wrote was in order to persuade people towards my value. However, ti did not really work. instead, people decided to beat me up and to tell me that I have no value and that I am a horrible person. If I say that I teach for free, then I get in trouble. When I say that I teach for a very high price, then people hate me for that as well. I pretty much get attacked from both extremes from different people no matter what I do. People need to think about what teachers and tutors do in real life instead of only thinking about what they think I said. I did not say that people have to give me a certain amount. I used the word "Say" which is very casual and very general it can be flexible in the meanings that you give to that word "Say." You need to see that "Say" is not in the past tense of "Said" for a reason. That reason is to invoke an idea that is ongoing and in a world of like utopia or something like that. However, people are still misunderstanding me for different reasons and to different extremes, mostly due to their inability to understand English enough: they do not see what I am writing here."
