Tuesday

One more day before Spiderman 2 comes out. So what will I be doing. working. when am i hoping to watch it....friday.

only movie this summer i'm really anxious about.

there are a couple of others...but nothing like spiderman 2.

anyways....a couple more days before the holiday. should be cool.
too busy.
but maybe it's just me...but has anybody just not had the urge to go out when they had the chance.

instead they would prefer to just chill at home with a movie and their loved one and just relax. maybe it's a sign of my age.

well....going to play the spiderman 2 videogame now.

i'll have a review in the next blog.

Sore Ass Sunday

Well,

It's Sunday, been a real cool day. Weather was great.
Played ball with my boys at the park. Had some good run. Scored some.

Showing my friend how to use his height to his advantage when he plays. Guy has a lot of potential, but keeps holding himself back. So i'm going to show him how to shoot better.

Didn't get to see my wife today too much.

She had a bridal shower this morning....now she's at church singing.

So what am I doing...I'm Watching Godfather part 1.

Never seen it, but have owned it for the longest time. So that really sucks. but finally glad that i can finally watch it.

Well one more week before the 4th of July Holiday. Can't believe how fast this year has gone by.

Going to get off of my ass and finally start working out consistently. Eat better...just have to stay true to everything. Can't skimp on it now. This is for my health.

Well...going to finish the movie. I'll talk to you guys later.

POOL TABLE BABY!!!!

We got our pool table today. so excited.

it's our wedding present from cary. which was a great and very surprising gift. definitely love it.

can't wait to play pool consistently. now we can work on the basement now that the main part is in.

so hopefully in the next couple of weeks...our basement will be how it should be. make that the next couple of months.

anyways. other than that...one more day till the weekend. looking forward to just relaxing. should be real nice.

if you guys want to come over...just let me know. i'm always down.

Rough Times

Things are just going to be hellish next week. I can already tell.

My co-worker is going on vacation....meaning that alot of his workload is going to be piled onto me.
Just have to grin and bear it. that's all.

anyways...saw city of god today.
i noticed that i'm one of those guys that buy dvd's before they watch it

i usually go on reviews or word of mouth. have to say that it's a great well made movie. freaky...especially since it is a true story. very very impressed with it.

other than that...just been relaxing. trying to come up with a consistent weekend plan.
been wanting to play ball with my friends. but also start bowling consistently too.

so a bunch of us were talking about bowling on saturdays in the early afternoon...and playing ball on sundays. should be cool.

tomorrow we're getting our pool table delivered to the house.

thank god my sister is coming over to be able to wait for the delivery guy. should be real cool....really excited about it.

what bites is that i won't be seeing sheils much this weekend. her schedule is real hectic and real busy. but will just have to make do with the time i will have with her.

like i won't be seeing her every other day.

kristina is coming into town tomorrow...she's coming in for noel's grad party. hopefully i get to hang with her on friday.
you have a new appreciation for your friends when they move away. but then when you see them...it's like time has never passed.

well...that's it for now.

talk to you guys later.

Another Day

Re-designed the blog.

Hope the new look fits.

Kinda like it actually. Finally able to add more stuff and put more of a personal touch.
Besides me complaining all day.

Anyways....i always wonder why people put themselves in a situation where they're not happy and they know it. but yet...they tend to stay with that person...knowing it doesn't make them happy.
I know alot of people that are going through this right now...and i wonder what it is that keeps them fighting for something that isn't making them happy.

Can anybody ring in on this?

Well.

back from canada. have to say that i was sorely mistaken. and very happy that i went over there.

had a great time...well except for the fact that we were there for a funeral.
Rest In Peace Apu Manuel, you're reunited with your wife now.

real happy i got to hang with my cousins. first time we all got together in the longest. real cool thing was that we got to play ball together for the first time in ages. my cousin boyet finally got to play ball against me. did alright, had some shots...got doubled, so they definitely respected my game. paying for it now...sore all over.

but haven't had that much fun in canada in the longest time. usually stuck with my dad's side of the family. which is cool and all...but not everybody is close to my age. have more in common with my other side. so i was real glad to see them and hang with them for a change.

back now. have to go to work in the morning.

other than that...nothing new.

oh yeah...missed my wife like crazy. it's funny how used you get to sleeping next to somebody. well sheils couldn't make it...she had a ton of things going on over here. all good. i have to say...girl did a ton in the house.

but as i kept telling relatives how married life was...kept realizing that i love being married. especially since it's my best friend that i'm with every day. i wouldn't have it any other way.

i'll hit this back later.

anyways.

going to toronto tomorrow night. there's a funeral on saturday.

honestly don't feel like going. but it would be nice to see my cousins. even though the situation isn't really the best. but what can you do. father's day is coming up. fathers are so hard to shop for. never know what they want or what is appropriate to get them.

my dad is no exception. but then....you go to the mall...and you find the easiest gift you can. and blam...it's right there staring you in the face.

been slacking as of late. been wanting to get back into a weight lifting mode. of course...you get home from work and you're real tired. that should be no excuse. i should get back into weight lifting. i really want to get bigger and more cut.

well....one more day of work for the week. hopefully i can get through it. work's been kicking my ass as of late.

oh yeah...question to ponder.

why do people who don't know how to do their jobs get promoted....and those that do know how to do their job...get the shaft. it's sad how blind some upper management can be.

here will be my next big purchase




June 28th baby.

they did it...the pistons did it and won the championship. how awesome is that. can't believe it...that's for sure.

every game had tons of heart and effort. beat the lakers...who i actually thought was going to win the championship. but real happy to see the pistons win.

karl malone sold himself out to win a championship...did it work...WELL..HELL NO.

now for basketball fans...all we have to look forward to is a weak draft without a clear cut number 1 draft pick. glad the pistons don't pick till the 2nd round.

have to go to toronto this weekend. my grand uncle passed away a couple of days ago. pretty sad actually...he was one of the patriarch's of my family in toronto. but i'm glad to know that he passed away peacefully in his sleep.

oh yeah...sheils and i decided to go to australia next year for our honeymoon instead of italy. will be cool to hang with maria and peeps. also cool to see australia. really looking forward to it. maria was giddy like a pervert in an all you can watch porno store.

anyways...talk to you guys later.

no videogame tips today.



Congratulations DEEETROIT BAAASKETBALLLLL!!!!!!!!

first off...i'd like to say...HAPPY BIRTHDAY KUYA!!!!!!

today is my brother's birthday...or...actually...almost was my brother's birthday.

we got him a 20 GB ipod. he's been wanting one...not like we have a ton of money...but sometimes...giving gifts is a ton better than receiving gifts.

still suffering from yesterday.

did one of the stupidest things i've ever done to my body. if you read this...please don't think like me.

anyways...we started a weekly sunday ritual with me and my boys. we're playing ball every sunday. found this park near my house...that not too many people go to..and has real solid rims. anyways...i figured...i wear long sleeve shirts...i sweat more. which is correct. however...i also wear knee high socks. so pretty much..i'm dressed to play in the winter...technically. it didn't help that i didn't eat. it also didn't help that it was a humid day.

so after 3 hours...and winning every game i played...except the 21's. but my team won every 4 on 4 game we played...with me playing point center.

so i figure...i'm going bowling a couple of hours after that...so i can eat at the alley. lo and behold...the alley restaurant was closed. so after bowling...which i bit because i was way too sore.

i get home in time to watch the game. what happens. the heatstroke completely caught up to me.

i got weak. wanted to throw up. was lying on the floor...just drained. sheils made me some ramen...bless her heart. then i closed my eyes for a bit while watching the game. woke up a couple of minutes later...felt ok. but still messed up.

all i know is that feeling really bit...and i never want to feel it again.

but...it was so good playing ball again.

real good to know we're one win away from winning the championship that nobody thought we would.

well....gotta sleep.

hit you all up again.

videogame tip of the day: in topspin for the xbox: when doing a power serve (holding down right shoulder button)...hold the control stick left or right..to give yourself the chance of getting an ace.

today...mostly chilling. playing videogames.

i love days when you don't have to do anything.

was a pretty blah week. nothing special happened.

looking forward to tomorrow. want to play ball and go bowling so bad.

we'll see how the day goes.

weather is finally nice...the sun came out. ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!

videogame tip of the day: When playing metal gear: twin snakes for the GC. the tranq gun is under the truck in the heliport in the beginning of the game. you can also get it in one of the lockers on the board when the game starts.

sheils is napping right now. pretty proud of us...we put together a budget so we can save money...especially since she's planning on going back to school..and i want to get a new car next year. so we need to start saving money and doing what we have to do. that's right. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.

About to head to bed.

Decent day.

Went to church.

Bowled, found a new style.

Joe Javier came over...good to see him. Looks the same. Acts the same. pretty much the same.

Pistons won.

Pretty good day, but since i have to work tomorrow.

Blah Day.

Mood: Happy.

well, today i've heard some real disturbing news.

Father Smits, the man that was originally supposed to marry sheila and i passed away yesterday. Of course, we're pretty upset. In a way we expected that it was his time, but it's still a hard thing to grasp. I admit though, I got to know the guy pretty well in the last few months, especially with us meeting with him over the sacrament of marriage.
I got home today and cried for a bit. Real sad to say goodbye.

the last time we saw him was at the hospital a couple of days after the wedding, he was a little weak and lost a lot of weight. for some reason though, i thought he was going to pull through. more like..i hoped. most people know that i'm not that religious...let alone go to church alot. but i did love how he represented the church. i'm definitely a better person for knowing him and getting to talk to him.

he's the man that blessed our house, so he's always going to be a part of where we live. well....just wanted to say how i feel.

goodbye father smits and thank you for everything.
