A Silent Night

I know exactly the picture I want to put up for this blog, I just need to go and take it. It's not a picture of my grandmother who i call "mija" and who this blog will be referencing. It's actually the family's last name of BECERRA which was written in the cement driveway when it was still wet at my Mija's house many years ago.**
**added
My grandmother's name:
Guadalupe Rodriguez who married Ernest Becerra (who passed when i was in middle school)
8 children all alive and well, plenty of grandchildren, plenty of great-grandchildren
76 years old

The reason for this blog:
my grandmother is in a hospice now, just admitted yesterday, and she is dying from colon cancer.

The irony of it all :
One being this is the season of life and happiness, new beginnings. Two being that I call her "Mija" while the rest of my family calls her "abuela" ... mine means "little girl"...the other means "grandma". The reason for this is when i was younger she always said Mija to me and i thought that was her name. Three being that the last time the family all came together was during my younger years at Christmas time because of my grandma. It probably stopped right when i hit middle school. Fourth being the cycle of life and how your parents always took care of you and how you end up taking care of them later.

The Now:
just reflection and memories. My creativity comes from my Grandma and my dad without doubt. I remember her stories about her life, her raising 8 children as almost a single mother because remember back then the husband just worked, came home to eat and not be disturbed and go to sleep. Also her struggles of having to learn english, and just struggles in general that none of us really go through because we have pretty much the good life now right? She has been living a blessed life, 76 years, she has done what she has wanted to do and she is ready to move on, she has told me this. So you tend to be accepting of the fact yet of course it hurts because changes will be made and you will miss your loved one. That point bothers me, yet what gets me more.. is my dad. It's his mom. imagine... years and years and your very fortunate to have your mom around soo long and by your side. He's crying. and i dont know what to say or do. He's the oldest, that is her first born. and you see that connection and its beautiful yet its too painful to watch as events unfold. You deal with one situation on a day to day basis to where it becomes normal and you forget that person still has memories and feelings and can still relate to what's going on. (in reference to my dad) and then here comes a factor in life which we all know has to happen yet you are just never ready for it. Im not sure u really can be ready for it.

The Hospice:
It's the Houston Hospice on Holcombe. Extremely peaceful, friendly environment with caring staff. I've had experience since I use to volunteer for a Hospice in Waco. A Hospice is a facility that provides special care for those nearing the end of their life and their family. It can either be at home or in an actual facility.

Solution:
I'm not really sure. Faith, prayer is more for the individual... i suppose i'm looking for more strength or to be the one who takes the rain for both my father and I. i dont know why i feel like i have to protect his feelings. maybe i should just see how he handles the situation over the next couple of days. same goes for all my uncles and aunts...

The View

Just remembering my trip to Thailand... out of all the places i've visited, by far its my most cultural trip. I happen to be sitting in a Starbucks (yes there is one there) while it was raining outside and took this picture. I remember I was reading the DaVinci Code at the time since the plane ride was extremely long. In the middle of backpacking, i just took a coffee break and picked up where i left off in the book. Best times.

quiet time

i wouldn't call it emo, people aren't happy 24-7 unless they are lying to themselves.
i miss a couple of people and i miss holiday gatherings with family.

High Definition?? No High Dynamic!


hmm so what do you think? i've taken an interest in photography and this is a technique called HDR. If you click on the link on the right to Sen's blog, you can see how impressive this technique can make your pictures. The idea is to get the photo as realistic or surreal as you would like. This is the picture I took when I walked out of work yesterday evening. I took two pictures, one at really low exposure and one at medium exposure... then I did an HDR merge in Photoshop CS2 then had to play around with the tonal range....as i converted the image to 16 bit ... lolz... geek.... well i dunno, i dont think its bad for my first try. Hell, that's what the sky looked like thus why i took the pic!!! I want to get an SLR digital camera .... but getting gifts for me has always been on my low priority list ... i dunno maybe... we'll see....
On a more colorful tone but not HDR...
After my 3 mile run around Rice University yesterday.. i decided to go for a little walk. Pretty safe over there lol and actually when I ran last Thursday I saw Christmas Carolers... awww i mean for me not being all "holiday" this year, that had me for a good 10 minutes. lol. so walk, walk, walk, taking pics and here is one of the places I took a picture of. felt like that light bug in "A Bug's Life"... attracted to the lights. Although I could have been labeled a peeping Tom or Stalker taking pictures of people's property. Yah i'm down with O.P.P. and what? tsk..tsk..tsk... well i'm tired from all this excitement that I create for myself lolz.... night nightz...

KFC or Pizza Hut? McDonalds!!

 
You can rarely travel these days without finding a McDonalds somewhere in that country's main city. The chain has made its impression internationally and isn't just America's food chain anymore. I honestly first noticed this on my trip to Bangkok. This is Ronald greeting you outside the door. Now the cool thing I've noticed is that there will be one menu item which is different from the "normal" meals McDonalds serve. 


Lol!! Samurai Pork Burger!!! awww yeah, didn't think you could go to an Asian Country without becoming a lethal warrior???? Which by the way everytime i take a picture of the menu, i always get yelled at by the employee who works there. I mean really, is minimum wage worth all the hassle of dealing with me the relentless tourist?? 


McDonalds in Bangkok... 

This is the menu in Hawaii. They have local breakfast Platters people...platters. I want that breakfast here!!!

Lolz! Good old Spam, egg, and rice!!!! 
This is the menu in Korea.... totally stolen from a friends album, hey though its contributing nicely to this blog. Check out their one item: The MEGAMAC!! lolz... too cool...


I never did understand why I would even eat McDonald's when there was ethnic food all over the place.... well that was until I went to London and their food totally was bland and horrible unless u decided to fine wine and dine which could make you broke as a joke. It was at that moment I was like "oh hell no. keep your damn sandwich, I'm getting a burger." In all honesty, you can only take so much of fish and chips.
So yah... if you travel and catch a McDonalds menu, take a pic, I'll add it to this blog. I'm sure I could go online and find some more but its more meaningful if I actually know someone who was witness to a menu remix.

Pretty Boy vs. Hitman

U know, just to play devil's advocate....  i hope Hatton wins. No doubt Mayweather is the favorable, hell he is the bigger fighter, 72 inch reach and his plus minus rating of plus-30 .. he has a record of 38-0 ... yeaah he's pretty much bagged it. Here's my two jabs...tsk tsk... see the thing about Mayweather that i noticed, especially more since the DelaHoya fight...is that he slows the tempo down to the point where it frustrates his opponent. He comes in lands punches and dances back. Ricky Hatton has noticed this and in order for Hatton to win this one, he needs to pull of what Castillo couldn't pull off when he fought Mayweather. He needs to hold Mayweather against the ropes and just have at it. Hatton has quick punches and he is faster on his feet than Mayweather and in order to get those score cards, thats the approach he should take. Easier said than done though because like I said, Mayweather tends to dominate the tempo.... how shocking would that be though... get beat by some dude from Manchester england...not just beat, but taken down in your hometown of Las Vegas and your whole infamous claim of being the best fighter since Ali and undefeatable..... i'd love to see that. I really lost all respect for Mayweather when he came out with the Mexican flag during the DeLa Hoya fight AND had 50 cent by his side. Can you be any more immature and commercial???!! Mayweather is too damn flashy, talks to much trash.... i mean i know its boxing, i just can't stand the guy who is not humble. You fight fights around the world and you want to be top of the world, pro, but you can't act like one???? I hope Hatton shuts him da fu** up.
Anyways, fight on at 8 tonight!!
Watch this clip to see what i mean:

Aww man...


ON December 04, 2007 Pimp C, real name Chad Butler -- and one half of the rap duo UGK, was found dead in a hotel room this morning in Los Angeles. L.A. County Fire responded to a 911 call at the Mondrian Hotel, located on trendy Sunset Strip in Hollywood. They arrived to his sixth floor hotel room to find him dead in bed. He was 33.

Wow.. seems one by one Hip Hop is losing our lonestar boyz.... just last week Big Moe passed... and its kind of weird cuz actually my gym is not to far from Screwed up Records and Tapes on Cullen so i'm always reminded of the local flavor when i head to that side of town. I love southside music, dirty dirty and screwed up... and u know what, i'm probably one of the most cultured people you know and I can tell you that every place I have gone to around the country, I have ALWAYS heard downsouth Texas music being played in the club. Can u imagine?? U might be shocked, but hell even when i was in Bangkok, small little club in the middle of no where.... jammin to Geto boys....i mean forget Southside music...straight Houston... insane!! and yet it never fails... i hear it world-wide...
And for the record, UGK is the first time i heard the term gold digger. It wasn't Kanye's remix of Ray Charles "I got a Woman" that introduced me to the word... it was UGK. Remember? "Front and Back and Side to Siiiiiide.... never let broke gold diggers riiiiide" hahahahha i would jam that song... all in my '89 geo spectrum hahahhahah cuz gold diggers soo wanted to ride in there... lolz! whatever. Yah....awesome memories... UGK, Bone, Cypress, Wu-Tang... i loved to jam those hard back in the day.... my whole collection of cd's were stolen so i havent been able to much lately but with the crew we tend to go back to old skool jamz on the weekend. Of course after all the "make it rain" "drop it like its hot" and "superman" club songs hahahhaha
This sux though... of course UGK will always live on, yet u just gotta feel bad for Bun B. Not worried about him bein a solo artist though, he's always wanted on everyone's tracks and he does it own his own as well. Crazy cuz Alex was just on their CD cover too... actually UGK was the last of three cd's i bought.... it was UGK, Bone, and Paul Wall.
RIP PIMP C

Ur Off Beat!!

hhahhahah yesssssss! Cool friends with cool toys!! ok the first time i played Guitar Hero it was at Zubair's apartment. He said I did really well cuz it took him a long time to unlock songs (or he could have just been really nice to me lolz but whatever) .... so what's next??? Da Drums!!!! also known as Rockband on the Xbox. coooooooooooool!! I had so much fun just banging away at those things! Joseph, Jacob, Rochelle and I formed our own rock bands. I had to do the whole hand-eye coordination, plus the whole color simon says memory type thing, plus not drop the sticks,  plus the total headbanger head movement.... all beautifully compiled to form the perfect rock-ette.... yours truly! Right on!!! hehehhee ( u liiiike it) Ok so the key to the game... it helps to know the song. i think i only knew two songs on that game.. the Nirvana song and the Radiohead song. Everything else.. total failure.... and playing with the guitarist as your partner who thinks he is beyond the easy level.... total failure again!! 
Abdullah and Aman would love this game, they use to play the percussion in band. what nerds. hahahha whatever i use to play a "wind" instrument. ok but i never went to band camp. 
yups so i give this game 5 stars, on a star scale of 1 to 5... 5 being mega fun concert mode.... u should try it....
Of course all this playtime was after watching the final show of Heroes! The suspense!! Yah i hope the writers come off of that strike soon... no way they can leave us hanging just like that, I'll not have it i tell ya!
Oh and i cooked brisket and queso for them, they loved it... as far as i know i passed Joseph's taste test. good thing he has a rice cooker. i dont assume just because your Japanese and rice is a staple food in your diet that you totally have a rice cooker. Lucky him, he did lol so he made the rice. yum yum yum and just in time for hero, no DVR for the finale!!
so i hope we all get to chill again even though our Monday Heroes is over... i'm sure it will be for rockband practice!!!

Sing the Blues while I make the piano cry...


"When its Blues Music..if you're a human being, you get it." 
man, i love it, absolutely love it.... let me just say that John Mayer really impresses me with his ability to cross many genres with his music. This post isn't about him though, its about the soul music.. that blues music. I remember when I went to LA about three months ago, Raja was auditioning for an acting gig and you are not suppose to bring guests to auditions. well.. u know me, i can always find something to keep me busy, so i told him i was gonna walk down the street and look around. I just so happened to find a bar.... all alcoholic jokes aside, i really was just trying to find a spot to chill at. I don't remember the name of the place off hand... all i know is I sat on a stool that was near the entrance yet looking out of the window of the outdoor patio. Since i was by myself, on a Friday, ordering beer ... I probably looked really sad or depressed or lonely cuz I kept having several people coming up to me asking if I was feeling alright. hahhaha it wasn't that at all though... it was the music... the second I had sat down, i heard the piano playing... not live...it was a CD.... Ray Charles... yet there is something about the very first couple of notes that start off a blues song.... you have your major key (which are known as the 'happy' keys) and then you have your minor keys ('sad' keys) .... blues songs will lay those minor keys down real hard in the beginning and of course throughout the song. I heard it too and the blues with a beer... awesome awesome combination... because you think hear the blues yet until you KNOW where its coming from, when you can feel the song not just from the voice but from the keys, the guitar... indescribable feeling. I'm not sure if its because i grew up playing the piano and having an appreciation for music, but i get into some kind of trance. You could be talking to me and if i hear any kind of jam or song I like, most likely I will zone u out in that second. Lolz... many of u know this because I've done it to you... whether i started dancing or been like "oh man, that's the jam right there"...music just does that to me. I have to say I love acoustic and I love acapella music the best. Its that "feel good" music, those songs you have to sing along to.. i imagine that's why many people love to karaoke even if they cannot sing. Abdullah and I love to play Hotel California by the Eagles.... i heard that the best in Hawaii, on the beach sitting with my Corona inside a restaurant with that sea breeze flowing through, hearing the waves and not a worry on my mind. This is what makes me happy.
I love playing the blues on the piano, i will make those keys cry... if you ever get a chance to get me near one, i'll be more than happy to make you feel da blues... lolz...

Ruminating

just kind of been pondering and taking a second to reflect on a consistent thought .... there still is a tender spot which does not want to heal .. i have already given the effort to make this said situation be if anything a pragmatic relationship. i honestly feel a real loss where two people were familiar with the other's qualms in every aspect. The feeling which i'm at loss to explain is why i would even take the time to step backwards.... how contrary from my whole moving on with time. I just feel a great loss and it really hurts and i can't think of any word that would capture the feeling except just sad. I'll do things to keep busy... at the end of day though, i'm not sleeping right and i'm honestly not happy nor do I care to start anything else. Its more of a being stuck, not knowing what to say or do and only hoping its the same on the other end. what can i do if its not, i just don't truly care to accept that fact and i'd rather go thru this than to just know its finished. i miss the laughs, the fun, the being real part. i miss min.
** took me awhile to post this just cuz i was scared.. yet u know what.. its ok to be scared sometimes. its my blog anyways. lolz.

Chill Weekend

Took a picture of the last dozen of roses sent to me about 5 months ago. Finally found some use for them... to practice my coloring in photoshop. lolz. was that mean to say? Flowers are not my thing..i honestly dislike them. Well, roses at least. it seems everytime I get them its because the guy screwed up and it is suppose to make everything better. yah keep on thinking that. lol... i do like to dry them out though, they look better than they did alive. wow, sounds so gothic. 

Hope your weekend was nice! Friday went to Bijan Persian Grill for Omaer's birthday then chilled with Dullah and Aman till about 1 in da morning. Saturday I went to melting pot on a nice date (u know im not mentioning names anymore) and had that delicious Ying Yang Drink... luv that stuff... then yesterday hanged out with the crew and played some Poker then dance the night away! Pretty chill weekend.... 


Nov 29, 2007

and this too shall pass..

just really frustrated, really icebox right now..... just cuz things happen a million times it doesn't mean the millionth and one time won't make its mark. i'm working on it, keepin busy... jokes people.. i need jokes!!!

Cirque Du Soleil

Location: Treasure Island aka T.I.
Key Playas: Irene & Hatim
Show: Mystere
Synopsis: the ultimate discovery that life itself is a mystery

Right in front of center stage, in like the third or fourth row...awesome awesome seats.... and honestly it didn't look like there was a bad seat in the house. I've never seen a Cirque du Soleil production even when they came here to Houston so was not too sure what to expect. Honestly.... striking lighting effects, majestic voices and music coming from a live band, and perplexing yet astonishing tactics with the human body. ooooo u like that description huh?! hell yah.
I dont want to ruin the show if you have not seen it, yes i would recommend you book a ticket if you can. Remember, i have not seen the other productions so I don't have a comparison to make - yet as a "first timer" i liked the show choice i made! Although, I can't help to contemplate the fact that some of the acts i've "seen". I mean, there are two that come to mind... one is part of the acrobatics which i've seen when i went to Cancun at the Coco Bongo Club and the other i could have sworn was part of a half-time show at a rockets game. lolz!

Overall, it was definately invigorating to the eye. Hatin was pretty much floored. How cooool.. his very first trip to Vegas and hell its was like my freakin 10th time there and he got to do everything i wanted to do the first time!

After the show we went to the gift shop and pretty much played around with the masks and took some pics...thus the weird pics in the above collage lolz... so anyways, yups two thumbs up on Mystere. I believe the tickets were definately worth the price if you decide to take a trip to see them!

Nov 28, 2007

long days


by the way this pic makes sense at the end of this blog lolz!

still up. lately sleep has become an oddity. 4am seems my sleep hour. i get real tired at work and even more tired at the gym. u would think i'd pass da hell out. the only comforting fact is the friends i have in Cali.. some are still up until 2am their time so at least i still have company to talk to. East Coast friends totally sell me out and of course peeps here would beat me the next day if i dare call at such an hour.

yesterday i watched that shows Scrubs. yah i watched tv, again against my nature.... that show is hilarious to me.. no wonder Ridwan is always quoting something from there. I saw it at joseph's house after watching Heroes with him, marie and rochelle. Next Monday is the finale and i promised them i would cook them brisket, mash potato and queso... spoiled they are lol nah i love to cook and lucky them, i'm off from da gym on Monday. Some of our fighters are turning pro so special training in progress for them. yays!

its cold at night... maybe thats why my whole crew has been hibernating. i haven't been out in awhile and its odd for everyone lol people keep asking where i been hiding. im just really tired physically, mentally, and just taking time to rest. lucky for them as well cuz with me constantly trying to drag u out of your house... you would b glad that i decided to lay low for a bit. tsk tsk tsk.

talked to jul again today... he likes to tell me any recent jokes - he's a stand up comedian whore.... and i like to laugh, so that makes for great conversation. damn maybe if he was boring i'd be put to sleep. lolz. oh so i decided not to go to san antonio this weekend. real talk.. im too tired to go out of my way or that extra mile for situations that just don't make sense. was that rude to say? didn't mean for it to be yet i'm sure u get the point.

oh and next weekend i will be in the christmas parade in Kemah! yups, on a float!! cool huh? juss a lil recognition i was invited to. There will be a boat party as well, open bar, gambling, food, and prizes! i'm very excited about that and i even saw this really gorgeous coat that i want to buy for the event. now i'm last to be materialistic... (don't materialistic people say that? lolz yah i mean it though) it happens to be a kenneth cole... which is awesome but sux ass cuz of the price??? dammmit and u kno its only cold two days in houston. what a lose-lose situation. i'm so going to spoil myself and get it though, who cares. and i might even dress really girly girl... like a dress..... omg... no way... makes me nervous - the party, not the dress. i may need to spike the eggnog ... u know i drink to make people more interesting hahahhahah joking!!!

sigh...alright..... let me try to sleep again.... i think i updated u on current events... by the way Hatim says i type the way i talk to people in person. lolz good. i hope you do feel like i'm talking to you when you read this - as opposed to me totally talking to my blog like a geeeek!!

night.. night.... i dunno why the image of that oldskool gloworm toy just popped in my head...oh and now a popple cuz i said popped... hahhahhah yah im not sleeping.....

Nov 27, 2007

Penny for your Thoughts....

Alright, so lets mention my NEW collection.... i would say hobby but by definition of the word "hobby" thats more of an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation. Um so collecting pennies... i dont see the pleasure or relaxation in that... so lets stick with collection and the act of "collecting". tsk tsk tsk.....
Ok so you guys ever see those machines....the ones where you have to put two quarters in and a penny?? Then you can choose your design - which by the way you have to do FIRST before inserting the money... i seen so many people screw that part up. lol. Oh that's just one catch. The other catch, it works best if you have a SHINY penny and not that one u picked up in the parking lot which was sitting in oil (probably from my car) and you were soo happy to pick it up just cuz it was HEADS up (thats the lucky side right?). yah whatever.
Anyways, i've always have played with these machines and so i have a couple of these pennies from different places. I'd come back home from my trip and then just put it in my travel collection which is in reference to my shot glasses.
The cool part - I was in San Francisco and just finished chillin on the Golden Gate Bridge when i walked into the Gift Shop and low and behold... a "Squished Penny Pocketbook"!!! Coooooool!!! hahhahahhahaha yup yups so i bought it. Here are some of the pennies I have:



Dude, u only have four pennies???? <---- um no. Remember i found this in San Francisco which means the trips like London, Hawaii and Singappore, etc, etc... those pennies are in my storage in a box which is under another box, which is under another box... which i'm not going to go dig out. So the four you get to see are actually not too impressive. One is from Las Vegas, one from San Francisco, one from San Antonio and the last from right here in Houston at the Museum of Natural Science. yay! u likes? so yups i'm on the lookout now for these machines. if you pplan on visiting anywhere i have been already where i missed the machine... let me borrow 51 cents and get me one... i'll pay u back! lolz....

Update on Hawaii...

****Disclaimer: Jul is aware of this blog lolz..

daaaaamn well you guys remember Hawaii right? He met a couple of you when he came to visit me. Take a look at his recent pic after almost a year in the army now...... i love the army!! lolz! awwww i'm kidding. he finished top of his class and supposedly has all these great things going on for him and i'm genuinely happy he has achieved this goal in his life.

timing has always been the only element in my life that surprises me. I mean you can pretty much tell me anything or do anything and i will rarely have a shocked reaction. Yet when it comes to timing... certain events happen at just that right moment and i'm like "this is so weird." With that said.. this past Friday i was at work for no reason and just listening to music... pretty much had myself in a somber state and was talking to Hatim (the one i went to Vegas with) about life in general and how we should always be on that Vegas vacation. hahah so certain topics came up and my sensitive ass had to go and be a girl about it and whine and cry right? (this is what happens when i get a two hour break between getting ready to go out and actually going out) cuz for the most part i'm pretty damn hyper and laughing at you. lolz.

then not even an hour later, jul calls me. (i still keep in touch with his sister which is how he got my number) so here comes this call from the army. and its soooo weird..... he called to say Happy Thanksgiving and before i could say thank you... he goes off about regrets he had about us not working out.... pretty much everything he should have said back in the day right? and with me, every relationship that fails i can't help to think that its because of me and he just completely turned every thought i had around. the timing though, i havent heard from him in about a year already... it was pretty unreal and yet sad for me. i honestly needed to hear everything he said at that moment. he truly was a breath of fresh air at the time that i met him. So yeah.. he is still here in Texas in San Antonio. He wants me to visit next weekend which I may or may not do. I personally dislike San Antonio. lolz.

Anyways he did send his regards out to my friends and i wish him well. He told me that he is pretty sure they will deploy him and he is scared about it and that hurts as well to hear yet at the same time it is the choices you make in life right? After this whole holiday of Thanksgiving and sincerely thinking about what we should be grateful for..... i'm thankful for just being right here and you being right here with me. material things mean nothing in my book... my heart belongs to all those i cross paths with whether it was years ago or now, i wish nothing but your well-being.

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That’s what I was trying to do

Reeeowwr......

Owwwwww!! Just take a minute to soak in the picture. That right there boys and girls is the new Mac OS X Leopard installed on my G5 and Powerbook G4 ..... of course with only one license hahahahhahah whatever. Oh ahd of course on my phone as a screensaver! shuddup u!! stop hatin on my geeky luv for these gadgets. Let me tell you though, my relationship with Mac has considerably improved. Once I get the parallel desktop installed (run windows on mac) then maybe I might be sold on the idea of owning a Mac. (but u already own a mac!) Yes i know but its totally because of work and I wouldn't understand why you would own a Mac if you are not in some type of field which requires the Graphic Applications. You, unlike me, would just buy a Mac to look trendy. lolz. I, on the other hand, can tell you millions of better things to do with 10,000 dollars then spending it on a complete Mac System. Why are graphic apps better on a Mac? well these days its not even about that cuz u can do the same thing on a PC.. point is MAC brought out the apps first and us old skool peeps are use to the short cuts and we've been learning everything in Mac so there is the answer to that age old question.


For those of you who care, don't think it wasn't a biatch to install the new OS. It is and again reiterated my Love/Hate relationship with Macs. Sure it installed perfectly on my G4... but on my G5, my freakin powerhouse, it totally crashed it for a whole day. Just for that, give me the jobs of those jerks at apple because they sure as hell did not test out the software and if u google G5 and OS X Leopard, you will see a shiii load of users who are having problems. How did i fix it?? Patience. Reinstalled that OS like 6 times.. seriously... and it finally completed installation and started up. Thats the best advice I can give, sorry. Otherwise you can sit there and watch that stupid ass blue screen that makes u think the mac is processing but its really frozen. BUT once u finally get it working thru miracles of God (which i believe maybe Satan owns a Mac) then you got yourself on bad-ass OS. Lots of new qualities, my favorite being remote viewing - which i could have had before if i had the patience to configure it but why would I when it already comes with the new OS !! yessss so i have total control of my work Mac from my laptop anywhere in da world! Before, ernie would have to drop files onto the .mac idisk for me to access the files on the internet. Now I dont need Ernie. hahahah yessss Ernie elimination, ur worth value has just gone down. hahahahhahah I can go on and on about the new stuff, if ur interested ask me. Oh and I'm still hood and goin out with da crew... I just found a lil playtime for myself this week.. lolz.....

Nov 6, 2007

what can i do...

oh by the way...

so last year my beagle had pups right ?? and everyone was all "go sell it at the flea market or on hwy 6" etc etc... anyways my ass knows better... i went to Hong Kong market and sold 8 beagles in 3 hours.. lolz asians luv dogs what can i say....

so point being ..today i get a random call.. some lady calls me crying her ass off and with her insane FOB accent i had no idea what she was saying... so then her husband gets on the line... turns out he ran over her puppy (was only 1 year old) and she's devastated and wants to know the numbers of the brother and sister pups to go visit them.... ummm do i suck that i didn't keep track of that shii?? dammit i just wanted to sell the dogs. lolz..... so that just made her day a little worse right? ....

so just right now ...her and her husband came to my work!!! lolz... she wants a pic of my dog to see how the puppy would have turned out! and she's cryin her ass off and yellin at her husband... it took every effort for me to keep a straight face, i know i'm mean, but this shit was a lil too hilarious for me....

anyways i dont even have damn pics of my dog so i had to go online to my stupid ass blog to copy and print pics hahhahahha .....whatever.

my sitcom moment for today...

My Hot Date!

awwwwww.... hehehhehehhe it's a picnic! When was the last time you went on a picnic...with an actual picnic basket?? lolz.... I went to Herman Park on Saturday with Min ... it was such a beautiful day outside!! Score one for fall weather approaching! If you haven't been by the zoo area, you need to take time to do that and enjoy Herman Park. The waterfalls were up and running and the zoo train was making its way around the track. No ants, no humidity, and no squirrels throwing nuts at you. Although we did see this real fat squirrel show off his pecs to us!! You don't think squirrels have pecs?? oh this one did. Can u see them between his paws? lolz!

So to start the day, Min and I went to the grocery store to buy our picnic supplies. hehehehheh.. i had sooo much fun!! ok ok so we bought 6 slices of Pepper Roast Beef, 6 slices of honey glazed turkey, and 10 slices of Jalapeno Pepper Jack Cheese, a loaf of bread, a cup of vegetables and a Large bottle of red wine called Lambrusco (which is more like grapejuice for those of you who do not like wine lolz) That was the contents of our picnic basket... here is a close-up

oh and bottle water of course - which definately was needed for paddle-boating later after the picnic. Real sweet date, we also road the Zoo Train and while we were paddle boating we saw some fish that could have been a result of a nuclear disaster... unbelievably huge, saw a turtle swimming around, saw some ducks, and Min was lucky enough to see the water fall up close! hahahha dude i totally steered the boat into it and as hard as he was trying to push the steer the other way... i won. yay!!! so much so that the canopy of the boat could not hold the water hahaha awesome ... so that was my hot date on saturday! i saw want to do a big group BBQ.. gotta get da boys together for that.... here are more pics by the way...

Unpredicted Explosion...

tooooo funny for a Thursday Morning! i know i have other stuff to blog but i had to put this up. So i come to work this morning.. (i went to the Taco stand first <--just so u know how anxious i was to get inside my office and eat my breakfast tacos) and when i opened the front door this crazy crazy smell of gas was coming from inside my office!!! tell me why the first thing that popped into my head was Louie the Lightning bug? lolz! u remember him? yah so i'm thinking "ive seen way to many natural gas commercials and i remember that movie backdraft...." hahha which in turn meant that i got paranoid. I didnt want to turn on the lights, pick up the phone or anything. I didnt know who to call though.... i thought 911 yet at the same time i didnt know if that really was an emergency so i called poison control hahahhahah shuddup, at least i called somebody. yah, they told me to call 911. hahhahhah (ok another random thought, but it was really close to that message u hear when you call your doctors office 'if this is an emergency dial 911' ) funny stuff. ok so i called 911.... then i proceeded to park my car way across the parking lot cuz if the place explodes, god forbid da gator gets blown cuz it is sooo money right? stupid. anyways... so im kinda excited cuz wow this is early morning dramatics for me... so i proceeded to eat my tacos in the car... lolz didnt know what else to do.....
alright so then my ears practically blow off when the firetrucks come around the corner... i mean its pretty damn embarassing... they are supa supa loud and travel in trucks of 3 with like two firemarshall vans... and here i am.. just me standing like a loser. ok but for my ladies... follow me on this.... 5 firemen per truck... yesssssssssssssssssss! sooo worth the call! hahahhahahhahah anyways the chief comes up to me and i tell him and he is all "is it natural gas ur smelling or gasoline?" and i said "i dont know the difference, all i know is that it is a strong gas odor" and anwyays i'm not too sure if natural gas has a smell?? isnt it odorless?? should have paid attention in science class on that one... so they all walk in, walk all around my business and say "its not natural gas, its gasoline". Ok at this point.. there is this one ANNOYING mexican worker which is a total blog on his own cuz we have exchanged words a couple of times, the guy is an idiot. i had seen him running to one of the other suites when the firetrucks pulled up - i thought it was weird but then again so is this guy. So i tell the firefighters "well i dont know where its coming from then if it is gasoline.." and the other ones are like "lets check next door"

INTERESTING PART!!!!!!!! so they go next door where idiot Mexican guy happened to be up to no good... turns out there were gasoline cans everywhere and they were leaking!!! he was freakin using it as a storage place for lawnmowers and all this other crap. wow that was a funny sentence...lolz..mind you, this is the landlord's right hand man..... so the fire marshalls totally went off on this guy!! they cleaned up all the gasoline and they pulled the carpet out.... see pic for reference for some of the soaked carpet...

what da hell right???? well no wonder he ran when he thought there was a fire, hell we would have exploded regardless!! sheesh!! so yups.. my entertainment for the morning.... i basically called firefighters to yell at my landlord wow watching hot men in action. Where's my coffee .... tsk...tsk...tsk....

Aug 17, 2007

I see da Eye..

daaaaaaaaaaamn. i'm just trying to make it to Thursday so i can leave to Miami. why is this thing suppose to hit us on Wednesday??? supposedly its done some crazy damage... cat 3 with 125mph winds out in the carribean..... anyways aren't i in trouble cuz if it doesnt hit here that means it turned towards Florida? lolz....
here is another funny thing... when the Cancun trip was booked, i do have to say that the dude who booked it thought about hurricane season.... so how ironic would it to be - as a result of getting the vacation after being screwed over only to end up screwed over twice if cancun gets hit by a hurricane. thas the type of luck i have. lolz. real funny to me.

Come sit and Chat....

ME - "Anyways, I want to tell you what happened because its leads us back into the discussion about myspace, facebook and dating sites like match.com"
Friend who wants to remain Anonymous - "what..Some Lame guy contact you on myspace?"
ME - "No." Advances to tell story.
Tells story.
Story telling is finished.
Friend who wants to remain Anonymous - "Irene let me summarize your story in a literary sense."
Friend who wants to remain Anonymous - "Heroine character was weak, no characterization, no motivation, hard for the reader to sympathize. Plot was pointless and mundane. Ending was unsatisfying, offering neither resolution of the central conflict or progression/development of the character. And finally the ending was telegraphed from the first page."
ME - "You really are mean to me. I'm not talking to you for the rest of the day."
lolz! Here's the funny thing.. i have two best friends who met their match on an online site and happened to end up marrying that person. I know plenty of people who do online dating. I on the otherhand am kinda opposed to it because of the whole "who knows if they are telling the truth" or whatever. needless to say thats not any damn different from the outside dating world (meaning not through your friends or school)
so said anonymous friend has told me to go pick up a book entitled "Freakonomics" which I will now start dedicating my weekends to reading it at Barnes and Nobles... cuz hey why pay for it when u can read it there. lol cheap ass. It is a book by a brilliant U. of Chicago economist, Steven D. Levitt, which analyzes a wide range of topics from an economist’s Point of View.
So Lets capture your attention though because the whole reason why this came up was to oppose me posting anything on match.com site. Here are some interesting stats for those considering getting noticed:
**An unattractive male has to earn $150,000 more than an attractive male to be on an “even playing field.”
**Hispanic male has to make $77,000 more than a White Male to be on an even playing field with regard to getting responses from White Females.
**Black Males have to make $154,000 more than White Males
**Asian Males have to make $247,000 more than a White Male to be on an even playing field with regard to getting responses from White Women.
So what have we learned? I'm not a white woman so u will be getting a response from me! hahhaahah just kidding... anonymous friend says.. and I quote "It all Reeks of Desperation." lol kinda harsh isnt he?

When Jokes Go Horribly Wrong...

oh I need to tell you what i got into yesterday.... so what had happen was.... i went to the Bally's during my lunch break to get a little workout on... my old trainer Rafael works there .. and well he has a little boy who at the time had a little play gun. so we are all out in the parking lot and two off the staff members - Carlos and Heidi - were about to go to lunch. we all get along really well and big dummy Rafael decided to be funny and he had his son's play gun and he starts pushing Carlos into the car saying "get your ass in the car!" and Heidi was playing along like a victim and Rafael and I were pushing them into the car and telling them they better cooperate and all this crap.... so really u hear all this screaming, car honking, etc... just being really stupid right? Well.. I happened to look up to see some lady on the phone all crouched down hiding behind a car super scared! and at that moment rafael turned around with his fake gun and this lady is like trippin!!! LMAO!!!!! ohhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyy myyyyyyy she was on the phone with the cops yelling "he has a gun!" and she practically dives into her car and takes off!!! I'm sorry but i busted out laughing and i took off running inside the gym and i turn around and see Rafael doing the same. haaaaaaaaaaaaaahahhahah we freaked that lady da hell out! Needless to say the cops started patroling the parking lot and well of course nothing went down since everyone had taken off lolz... funny funny stuff...

Rush Hour 3

Chris Tucker. Funny character. Went last night to catch part 3 .... it was cute. The first one is still my favorite, yet definately this one surpasses part 2 on the comedy. Tucker basically makes this movie because i'd have to say half of the supporting actors... are the reason why they are supporting actors.... i dont know if anyone else does this... since i analyze everything, whenever i watch a movie i will look at the actor's eyes.... if they are truly in the role you can tell... sometimes though i look at them and its as if they are thinking "i wonder if my lines are coming across as well as i'd hope" does that make sense? cuz thats the impression i got from the actress in this movie. Jackie Chan though is still funny and crazy with all his stunts. Yes and there are bloopers at the end, i was hoping there would be! Thumbs up from me more along renting the movie than actually paying at the theater for it. Over and out. lol.

Making Good Times...

14-16 years in the making... its the type of friendship where everyone has just been through everyone's life turning events. not individually, together. This weekend was a definite breather ... first off congrats to Abdullah... he's finished with school and is ready for the whole nuclear med world! We all went out on Friday to celebrate... which of course is just the pre-cursor to his grad party in Miami in two weeks... i can't wait for that!
I had a really .... i need to find the right words.... this weekend the luv i felt from friends... thats what i needed. they never fail in that category anyways yet sometimes u need it more than other times. Its when u have that empty feeling... that gut wrenching empty feeling, does that make sense? kind of being scared thinking "is this how its going to be" cuz life is dealing cards from the bottom of the deck... and ur looking for that ace or that one card to complete your hand.... and why i'm relating this to poker i dont know...lol.... but yah i tend to run away from that feeling but we all do. so its ok. thats why its good to have a blog for the self expression. man i've put up some crazy hater-ass blogs too hahhaha thats just me at that moment in time. i dont have ill feeling towards anyone.. even dating wise. it can't always be what you would hope for it to be.
hey my weekly crew i always thank you guys for the time u spend with me (insert ur jokes here lol)... also thanks to Wes, NJ, JV, Meed, Dalouny for chillin on Friday at Grab Bar... love to see those guys... plus some peeps from my gym (angel, kat, martinez, chili) for coming out to chill with me (by the way the shirts i designed look bad-ass lol my one conceited moment but where da hell is my shirt?????) and shoutout to jv for my late night pizza snack attack saturday night.... Gail and Muna for lunch on Saturday... Robin, Omair, Zubair, your cousin who's name i can't spell, Dullah, Zishan, Ridwan for Saturday afternoon and to Rochelle, Bux, Talib bro's (yes all three in one spot lol), Corey, Kiff, Magic and Pranav for staying out with me on a Sunday till 2am... total craziness and laughs...

Last Words

ALANIS MORISSETTE LYRICS
"You Oughta Know"
I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
you'd hold meUntil you died, till you died
But you're still alive
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you
went awayIt's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her
Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
you'd hold meUntil you died, till you died
But you're still alive
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you
went awayIt's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you
went awayIt's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
Oh and In case you didn't know
mark-ass bitch: The mark-ass bitch will gladly give the slut all his money and time in exchange for her pretending to be faithful.

the wall still stands..

Today, I'm feeling the distance between us a little more than most days..I'm
missing your smile, your touch, your easy ways.
I'm feeling a little lonelier
than usual,thinking of you a little more,
and missing the way I feel when I'm with you.
Today, like everyday that you are away,I'm missing you and wishing you
were here...only today, I find myself wishing just a little bit more.

Reunion Recap!

1997. What a year. Kempner Graduation. Where's Kempner... out in Sugar Land... Voss Road...across from cow fields where many a cow decided to commit suicide and jump out into the streets. (Do you honestly know how many times that made me tardy?!) ok ok so fast forward 10 years. wow. Highschool reunion... thank god no one listened to me when i was all "let's go rent some bad ass car and claim its ours" hahahhahhaha i mean thats why we all go to these reunions right? cuz i dont know about you but i keep in touch with the people i wanted to so no need for this reunion stuff. BUT for kicks, lets see what happened to the cheerleader and hope that she has like ten kids, living on a trailer park with baby daddy drama. hahahahhahahhaha....

nah not to sounds negative, u never know who might show back up and its fun to be curious of how some people turned out. Honestly off the top of my head only 3 people there made me be like "awwwww man!!! where have u been!!!" and everyone else i was like "yah i'm gonna need a couple of more beers to make u interesting." hahahhahahah Sarah Dees, Lawrence Bong and Randall Column... some of the sweetest people i know and glad to report they are doing well.

It's funny cuz i saw Bikram and Pankaj up there who i see all da DAMN time lol and we kept flocking back to each other more for comfort more than anything else. Reunion was held at this bar out in the boon-docks called "the Swinging Door". All together now folks "CHooooo Chooooo!!" freakin hick station galore, that place was lame, BBQ might have been from a reunion earlier in the day, and i'm sorry but if ur just serving Beer... what kind of BAR is that?!?!? We parked in gravel and grass. Rain, Mud, if u didnt have a truck u should not come is what they should have said. it was so high school too... everyone sat at tables just like in the cafeteria room... i even was like "no, u can't sit at my table" hahahhahahha geeks on one side, headbangers over there, snobs over there... and social butterflies have a seat at every table.

funny stuff. so it started at 7. i got there at 8 with Kim and Trina and I left at 10 lolz.... needless to say i could care less for the 25 or 20th reunion... blah. Congrats though on all those who told me they were married and with newborns, that was definately sweeet news. Oh and here is our class vote from that night... which i was not around for... thank god it was Dullah's Birthday

I won 100,000!!!!!




Don't call me. I'm on my way to Austin!!! lmao.... so what happened was this morning i heard the commercial on the radio about the Texas Lottery having a new game ...called Texas Hold 'Em... and we all know i love to play poker. cuz in my head i think i'm pretty damn good at it. actually with all the guys i almost always come in second or third place which i think is good but in Vegas i get my ass whooped. yah. so anyways... i forgot about it throughout the day then i went to go get gas and when i went inside the station... i saw the game! so i ask how much is it...well its a $10 card. yeah.... sometimes u gotta play big to win big right? so screw it, i ask for $20 worth. I get in my car, grab a dime...since the card is $10..why not scratch off with a dime... lolz..... so me being the pro i am at poker... i see 4 Queens.... and i see their straight.... and thats all i see..... then i see 100,000 as the prize.... so i double check..... and i re-check.... lmao.... (my poker players are already laughing) and anyways i'm still the winner.... i go back to work, i tell my mom (not a poker player) she gets all dramatic and excited. she calls my dad and brother who are out running errands. At this point, i am now deciding how i will split the money and what i will do. i'm also thinking about how many drinks i will have with friends.....lmao...everything. yah. Richard comes...asks to see the card..... um hello... not only did they have a straight.... its a flush.... well fine, i still beat a flush with 4 of a kind... no no no buddy.... they have a ROYAL FLUSH... haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhahah omg i'm an idiot from hell and i will officially say that i suck at poker. u don't understand though, i was super rich for 30 minutes and so was 5 of my closest friends whose names i will not release! lmao so u think its funny but it damn well could have been u too with ur finger in this pot!!! hahhah oh what a laugh. now i gotta get back to work. funny though the thoughts that run through your head when u win such a large amount. lmao... yah imma cry.

Miller Outdoor Theater


Sunday.... actually somewhat of a breezy day here in Houston.... the heat was not that bad.... and well this Sunday was actually interesting for me... I happen to be on a date... lol nameless date..we all know no one gets introduced by me until months after hahahhaha anyways he had a nice idea of taking me out to lunch and then walking around a park. We actually walked around Herman Park which I did maybe a month ago... they have changed it up a little so its a nice spot where I see people go and Bar B Q once in awhile. Oh and we rode the zoo train...lol...when's the last time u did that? yeeeah... that was fun though..... then afterwards we walked across the street to the Miller Outdoor Theater. Most people are not aware that every weekend there is a show here and the best part is that it is totally free. A nice evening would be to pack a picnic and sit on the hill and watch the show... so just some idea dates for my guy friends out there. Yesterday the show was a 60's Musical called "Beehive". wow. talk about jammin out to da 60's.... i loved it! It was 6 women doing there celebrity impersonations of singers from Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross all the way to Tina Turner. 6 women in their beehive hair..introducing themselves to the Name Game ("Marcie, Marcie, bo-Barcie…") i mean it was freakin hilarious!! One great song after another like "My boyriend's back" "It's my Party" "You don't own me" "wishin and hopin" and at the same time they took you through the 60's with excerpts about John F. Kennedy, the civil rights movement, the Hippie times.... it was really awesome. Great way to break the ice when on a date too.. dancing in your seat...cuz my dancing is that good...lolz.... fun times fun times.... when u get a chance go out to the Miller Theater...i know this sunday they will be showing Happy Feet on the big screen lol so if u wanna chill outside and watch a movie..that's a bet!

This Saturday...

This Saturday at 9am... i will be at the Museum of Natural Science at the Cockrell Butterfly Center. For those of you not familiar, its that glass Pyramid you see next to the museum when you are on the way to the zoo. I love going to the Museum exhibits and i'm an email subscriber so I get all the latest updates. Which reminds me I need to go check out the Rome exhibit with Zubair ....
So this is the email I received:
Enjoy the unique experience of releasing a butterfly into the Cockrell Butterfly
Center this Saturday, July 14th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Take the opportunity on
this special day to release a butterfly to honor a milestone, celebrate a cancer
survivor, or remembered a loved one. Only 500 butterflies will be released on
this day. All proceeds benefit the Cockrell Butterfly Center.
Also! Each new adoptee (or their guardian for those under 21) will be eligible to win:
* two roundtrip coach tickets from any Cayman Airways' gateway to Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands,
* a four-night stay for two at Sunshine Suites Resort in Grand Cayman, and
complimentary admission into the Cayman Islands Butterfly Farm.
I've decided to release a butterfly in memory of Roger and his spirit flying freely. It makes me happy because i'm always going to the butterfly exhibit every year... you walk through and sometimes they land on you...they are really beautiful. Plus its right across the street from Rice university where I go running...
So When I release the butterfly I will get a certificate of adoption and also a small gift. It only costs $15 to adopt...If anyone wants to come with me you are more than welcome to....

She's a groupie!!

eeeeeeeeeeeek!!! JoKoy!!!!!! happy happy smile smile!!! Ok you know what..honestly..how many of you can say that you have taken a picture with the person you are a #1 fan of???? I mean i'm totally in love with Enrique Iglesias...but have i gotten within 200 ft of that guy? no. Sheesh... the closes i been to my celebrities was 5 ft from Prince and i didnt even get a picture to prove it! lolz. awwwwwwwwww but JoKoy.... see now for those of you not familiar with him..... get familiar. Hilarious, u know its talent to be able to improv almost a whole show and JoKoy did just that on Saturday night at the Improv on 1-10. freakin funny... i went with Gail and Junior and we just laughed it up. The funny thing is that I found out about Jokoy thru Jewell... u guys remember him? lol Hawaii. He reads my blogs too so i bet he'll beat me for putting his name out there. Jewell's biggest goal was to do comedy on the side and when I took him to the Improv he saw that the upcoming act would be JoKoy and he said I had to definately check him out. So i did, and man I fell hard. Everyone knows I love to laugh ...i do it all damn day.... what i really luv are those laughs where you can't stop yourself...and that would be JoKoy. He's a real modest, humble guy and this is coming from someone who has been on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and did the Punisher tour with Carlos Mencia and just has been everywhere. When i went to Cali i was trying to see him at the Laugh Factory but my flight came in too late!! His birthday was one week before i left to Cali and again I missed his birthday party. BUT if i'm a fan, I stay true. So i went and bought him a birthday gift that i could give him whenever I would see him again! It's the dogtag he is holding in the pic. The front of the dog tag is him doing this pose:and on the back is the Filipino flag and his name!! He was really flattered and I was sooo nervous and chicken shii about the whole thing. My little shy bug jumped in real quick, i can't believe i was able to take this pic with him. hahahhahahha i'm such a dork. i luv JoKoy... and stop clowning me cuz i'm far from stalker status!! hahhaha oh For those of you who want a little taste of his comedy... watch this:
