Had a nice Memorial Day weekend. Didn't do much but it was very relaxing.
Friday night, I watched Minnie Driver perform at work with Karen and Kristine. Got her to sign my ticket stub after the show. She's actually a pretty good singer. Not the best, but pretty good elevator music or just something to chill and have a glass of wine with. It was pretty trippy cuz the lady that sat at our table was from Oxnard. She lives near Riveridge. Small world. There was also some lady with huge knockers that sat to the table next to us and her entire right half of her bra was showing for a few seconds. I'm sure it wasn't peeping out too long cuz she might've felt a draft or something. Or maybe its just guys that experience that. Anyways...
Saturday, just went to Carson for Chris and Doris's baby shower on Saturday. It was nice chillin with some of his old coworkers and drinking beer.
Sunday, Karen and I Netflix'd Team America. It was pretty creative and funny. The sex scene was hilarious!
Today, Karen and I watched the Food Network for most of the afternoon..."Boy Meets Grill with Bobby Flay." Man, I was getting so hungry with the stuff he was cooking. It was so good that I jumped on the internet and printed some of his recipes out. BBQ shortribs will be my next experiment on the grill.
For lunch, we had some barbequed beer brats. Turned out okay, did it the Danger Dog way with bacon around it and grilled onions. We had it for dinner as well. I think I'm good on brats for a while.
Also checked out Madagascar at the theaters today. It was pretty funny. Not Pixar Animation funny (like Finding Nemo), but funny enough. The penguins were really cool. There were a bunch of little kids at the theater. What do you expect, it was a matinee. We sat behind this group of 6 kids, prolly 10 or 11 year olds. All girls, except one which was a brother of one of the girls. He was pretty violent with her sister. He'd ask for his money and she would ignore him. Then, he strangled her or put her in a headlock for a bit. I was a little shocked, but I haven't seen a live fight in a while so I wanted to see how it would progress. Nothing happened tho but it was a bit entertaining.
My stomach hurts. I think I might have to attend doodies soon. Too much brats for the day. Doesn't it suck when you have to right after you take a shower? Or worse, while you're in the shower??

Today, I went to Dodger Stadium to watch the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 6-2. It was freakin hot in L.A. According to Lou's thermometer in his truck, it was 94 degrees. My ass was burning once I sat down. Good thing I didn't wear my thong. Yeah right!
It sucked cuz I didn't get any shade in my seats till about the 7th inning or so. We had 3 rows of 10 reserved for our party. I would've had the first row to get shade, but I let Terry and Harold sit in my seat and the empty seat next to mine, while I moved to an empty seat in front of me next to Belle. Then later, I took a smoke break with Ryan and Jevon. I came back and my seat was taken again, so I had to move another row down. By that time, I would've had shade again but didn't. Oh well its cool. We won! and had fun! Felt bad for Ryan, he was wearing his Angels jersey and got playfully heckled by some fans on the way out. No harm tho, just for fun.
The whole Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim just doesn't make sense to me. They should just go back to being the Anaheim Angels. They're stadium is in Anaheim and they're not even in the Los Angeles county. Plus their name just sounds ridiculous. Two cities as part of their name?? Unheard of. I know its all about having the name "Los Angeles" as a way to market the team and make money, but in reality, the team isn't even in Los Angeles. Plus if you translate their name from Spanish to English, their team would be called The Angels Angels of Anaheim. Now, if they drop the whole Anaheim part, they would be called The Angels Angels, which even sounds more dumb!
Well, tomorrow I'm gonna watch the Angels again vs the Chicago White Sox. Got free tickets at work from the Los Angeles Times of Los Angeles. 5th row from the Angels dugout.
Anyways, good luck to Kristine on your finals! You'll be fine! Let's go drinking to celebrate when you're done! Just one beer tho, hehe!
Make that half a beer! Love ya!

Stupid Bill Cosby reps.
Bill Cosby is coming to my work for two shows on June 18th. I love Bill Cosby, but his damn reps are idiots! Every morning I have to send ticket sales numbers to them. One of them includes group pending numbers. Basically they're seats that are sold at a group discount rate. They haven't been seated or completed. They're just on hold in their group account until the payment and order is complete. That number will always change, whether its a cancelled group order, if an order is paid and completed, or if a new group requests a new order. But the fuckers at the Cosby Camp can't figure this out!
Dude, I dunno why that can't figure it out! That number will change, whether it goes up or down. And they had a problem the other day cuz it went down. I got abrupt emails from their rep saying that these numbers are off and its impossible. But shit, if you don't know what PENDING means, get off the crack your smoking and look it up!
So they keep trying to get a hold of me, the Box office supervisor, and the head of ticketing. They requested me to fax the audit report to them. So I did. Then they call head of ticketing and they don't know how to read a damn report!
What does capacity mean?? It means maximum seating and sales amount right??
Shit! There's a catagory that says capacity, and they ask "is that the total number of seats we've sold?"
"No you freakin idiot!" It means the maximum possible seats and amount the show can sell!
It kinda makes me wonder how fuckin stupid do you have to be to work for Bill Cosby. Is it really stupid? Or really fucking stupid? I prefer the second.
So today, I fax over the audit and emailed the detailed report I even created.
Now, no phone calls, no harsh emails.
Maybe they stopped smoking crack finally.

Its been pretty busy the last week or so.
We suprised birthday gathering at BJ's which Chelsea and I helped organize for Karen. I stalled by taking her to watch Kindom of Heaven, then brought her over for her little party. Pretty big turnout I must say. Although I was very disappointed with one turn of event (one which in a way I'm not suprised of), it was a great night for Karen (and Kristine, tee hee hee!). Happy Birthday!!
Friday, John John, Keno, Karen and I took off for Vegas after work. I had a blast. We just kicked it at the Centrifuge lounge at the MGM and had some drinks. Saturday, met up with the other group, went shopping at the outlets (got me some shirts to match my Dunks and Jordan IV's, and also bought a new Michigan hat), and ate at the Aladdin Buffet. Crab Legs! mmmm....!
Later that night, we went to this new club called Pure at Caesar's. Very nice place. All covered in white, with lavendar lighting. It has a beautiful terrace outside where u can see the entire strip. Got pretty faded that night, however it wasn't bad at all. There was a bad turn of event that occured but not bad enough to ruin the trip. Happy Birthday to John John and Karen!!
The next day, we just had lunch with Sherwin and Bigs before they took off for their flight back to the Bay. After that, walked around Caesar's and saw baseball legend Pete Rose and Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics. Kinda felt bad for Mr. Rose. He was signing autographs outside some sports store, but no one was there really. I guess his image has been somewhat tarnished from the gambling accusations. Oh well, not a bad trip.
I still have my Vegas jetlag, but thats normal. I'm ready for a long nap. Next trip planned...CHICAGO!!

Today, I found out that you can get a blood test at the Disneyland resort.
I went to the resort today to find out for myself but couldn't find a place to get a blood test at.
Actually, Chelsea, Angela, and I suprised Karen by kidnapping her and celebrating her birthday at Disneyland. I must say, I've never done so much in just 3 hours. Fireworks were pretty. Dinner at Tortilla Jo's was dope!
But no luck finding that damn place to get a blood test at!

So today I was taking a dump at work in Tier 2 while the Pacific Symphony was rehearsing for tonight. I found it pretty amusing taking a dump while listening to classical music. Aint nothing like listening to an orchestra while creating one with my ass. They have their bass drum...I have my shit kabooming on the toilet creating my own rattling. They got a trumpet, I got my own tooting instrument.
Its always amusing listening to rehearsals while taking a dump in one of the levels at our theater. One time, the Lion King was rehearsing, "Can you feel the love tonight?"
"No, but I can feel this big ass piece of shit coming out of my ass."

So today's work timeline:
8:13 am: I arrive at work, turn on my computer and work on the daily jumps.
9:30 am: Finish Daily jumps, emailed Clear Channel reports, emailed report to reps for Bill Cosby, and faxed report to reps for Alanis Morissette.
10:00 am: Go to the Box Office to pick up Vinh to buy a Rockstar energy drink next door.
10:30 am: Arrive at my desk staring into space, waiting for the Rockstar drink to kick in.
10:45 am: Start to fall asleep
11:00 am: Decide to get up from my desk and walk around a little.
12:00 pm: Go to lunch with Dean, Sol, and Greg at Claim Jumpers
1:05 pm: Arrive back at my desk.
1:15 pm: Begin to fall asleep from food coma
2:00 pm: Go to the Box Office and look at Sunday's Target ad
2:30 pm: Decide to go upstairs to Tier 2 to do my doodies.
3:30 pm: Finally decide to do work: Make copies of invoices and file them away

As you can tell, when Karen and Kristine aren't at work, and when Chelsea is busy doing the mail, work can be very unproductive.
But thats not a bad thing!

Had a pretty nice weekend. Altho it was way too fast...
After work, I decided to order a new Motorola flip phone cuz my freakin Nokia sux ass. I love Nokia, but the model I had sux balls. I actually get the phone for free, got it for $50 and it comes with a $50 rebate. I just had to change my plan which kinda sux. Damn Cingular.
Afterwards, went to go celebrate Gerard and Christian's birthday at Tijuana's in Irvine. Haven't been to that area since I celebrated my P-Grad (Pilipino Graduation) from UCI 2000. Had fun, drank a few beers. Altho the music could've been better, its always nice to hang out with friends. Happy birthday G and Christian!
Saturday, I stayed home, did some laundry and played video games till Kristine and Karen came over from work. Karen took a nap while I gave Kristine a massage while watching Band of Brothers. Afterwards we picked up Angela, ate at a shot up Carl's Jr in Anaheim (seriously had bullet holes in the window), then it was off to ice skating at Disney Ice with some co workers. I had to suck it up and step into Enemy Territory for the evening. Afterall its where the Anaheim Mighty Dicks practice. I was able to save my bitterness after getting a $2 discount with my Disney Annual Pass. Not too shabby.
Its been a long time since I've skated. Probably since John was still alive back in summer of 98. He got hooked on it when we had a rink in Irvine. I still can't hockey stop, but my skating was okay. I was kinda shaky skating, maybe its cuz of the skates. Hopefully next time I can hockey stop. We'll go again sometime soon! =)
Today, went to Michael Funk's senior recital at LB State. Good job Mike! Very entertaining, especially with the red zoot suit accompanied with some Jazz pieces. After that, went to Cerritos to do some shopping and grabbed some food, where I had a bad shit experience (i'll explain in a bit). Came home, ate, then watched Kung Fu Hustle with Jevon, Tommy, and my roommates.
Anyhow, yeah so I had a bad shit attack on our way out from the mall. I like to shit in piece so i figured a department store would be perfect (Sears). Couldn't find the bathroom, except the one in the mall next to the first store, which is a no no for me. Too busy. So I decided to hold it for a bit.
We crossed Gridley and went to Goldilocks to get my refund on a double charge they did. Walked next door, then it hit me again. So I went back to Goldilocks but someone was taking a shit too. Well since we were going to Pinoy Pinay to grab some food, I figured they're would be a restroom at the Sport Mart in the same plaza. Afterall, how many people would be taking a dump while shopping for sporting goods right? So i park the car, find the bathroom, then find out there's no freakin toilet paper! WTF??? I couldn't take it anymore, and just did my doodies at Pinoy Pinay. I didn't want to do it at a restaurant, but I had no choice. Oh well...
Dodgers win 2-1 against Colorado and take over first place in the NL West!
In 7 more hours, I will be at work. Boo.
