Fuck, I'm watching the news right now, and they said they're going to raise the minimum payment for your credit cards.
I thinks that's bullshit especially its right after the holiday season when most people use their credit cards on gifts. Now, that doesn't matter to me since I didn't use my credit card during the holidays, but that fuckin blows that the minimum payment might be twice than usual required minimum. How the hell is that suppose to help pay off your debt when it'll increase the whole in your wallet?
Then the news is explaining how you should cut down on costs, like your cell phone bill and your daily cup of coffee. Man, fuck that shit, some of us can't afford gas all that much cuz its so expensive and that's something out of our control cuz of the damn war.
I swear this economy is so fucked up now.

Merry Christmas everyone!
Hope you all had a great Christmas weekend.
As for me, it was okay. It was mostly chill and quiet. But overall, it was good.
I got off work early on Friday at noon and received an early Christmas gift, in which I found out our receptionist at work is quitting. Why the good news?? I wont get much into detail, but I'll use one example and you can fill in the blanks from there.
There was one time I called John John on his cell phone about something, but I needed an answer as soon as possible. I called him around 11 so I knew he'd get my message around noon when he went on lunch. So I sat at my desk the entire time after 12 waiting for his call. Usually, John John is pretty good about getting back to people, but I never got one. So later on, I find out that John John did in fact call me. Apparently, he called the front desk around 12:30, but the lazy ass receptionist didn't transfer the call to me, and instead told him that I was out to lunch. Hello, bitch?? Are you my fuckin secretary? Do you know my freakin schedule??
So, although there are maybe like two people at work who will probably miss her in the entire theater (I'm not going to mention names), the rest of us can be a lot more happier working. She's made life a living hell at work, especially to Karen. She's given no respect to Karen as her boss. She may look cute to some guys that want to get in her pants, but fuck that you desperate idiots.
And frankly, I don't care if you idiots are reading this blog anyway. You know who you are.
So to our receptionist, in the words of Brandon Boyd of Incubus, "GOOOOODBYE!!!! NICE TO KNOW YOU!!" HAHAHA!!
Friday, we all headed to Jovan's and Jay's for our annual Christmas party. Great food and great times. Best dish: that one chicken that Chris brought. Damn that was good!! Scene It was awesome, though it took freakin forever. Best laugh of the night was the "Stupid and Stupider" incident. 30 people standing up and yelling out the answer! Freakin awesome! I also got to play mafia for the first time. My acting skills paid off, haha!
We had our white elephant gift exchange and I ended up with a package of 10 beers from around the world. Karen ended up with the gift she brought - R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet DVD. Word of advice: teaming up with a friend to develop a strategy of stealing gifts so you both can have what you want never works. Just ask Jovan. But the night was just awesome.
The next day, I drove Karen to the airport so she could meet up with her parents at the airport. I dropped by to visit Kristine and my sisters family to drop off gifts. Later in the night I drove to Oxnard and got home pretty early, thinking we were going to midnight mass. Instead, I came home and found my parents knocked out on the couch, and soon enough, they went to their rooms and knocked out. So much of family time.
Overall, Christmas was okay, but it didn't really hit me. Probably cuz I've been sick the past few weeks and also, it hasn't been cold really. Usually, I'm excited to see family and spending time with them, but on the way home, I couldn't stop thinking of others that wouldn't be celebrating Christmas with their families. For one, I was thinking of Allan Espiritu's families, both his own family, as well as his own kids. Still bums me out a bit.
Plus we didn't get to open our presents till 10:30 at night. My parents were busy all day cooking and I guess they were just burnt out in the afternoon. I got a PSP from Karen (my girlfriend is the best), cologne, clothes, cash, and a grip of Best Buy cards! Can't go wrong with Best buy cards. I think I have about $135 saved up from last year. Hmmm...maybe I should get a new Ipod.
Shopping wasn't all that great either. The mall in Ventura sucks major donkey balls. They don't even have an American Eagle or a Banana Republic there. They do have a sorry ass Gap store, and an Abercrombie store, but nothing great. Just picked up a tie for a wedding I'm going to in January at Macy's.
However, I got to see some friends again in Oxnard. I got to see Romeo, Ram, and Resty in a matter of hours. It was pretty fun, haven't seen those guys in awhile. Esp Resty, I don't think I've seen him in over 2 years. In fact, I still had his Christmas gift a few years back which I gave him yesterday. Haha!
Anyhow, Christmas was okay, but it could've been better. I think it was fun with all the hype and preparation for other people's gifts. But when it came down to my own Christmas, it was a lil weak. Of course, its always fun with my parents, and I never take that for granted. It just wasn't all that great, since my sister didn't come up with her family. Oh well, next time.
But I gotta enjoy the empty freeways going to work and the empty parking lot. Gotta enjoy it while it lasts. I get off Friday at noon, and off on Monday, but yet no official New Years plans. Hopefully that'll change.
Gotta a lot to look forward to in January: New Years (whatever happens), College Football Championship (GO TEXAS!!), a Kings game, a wedding, Tahoe, Jay's birthday, and soon enough Superbowl!!

Monday, December 19
I woke up this morning shocked about two things...
The first, I turned on the t.v. and saw the Colts loose to the Chargers. Wow, I thought they would go all the way this year undefeated. Sorry Lou and Belle. But don't worry, they'll still kick butt this year.
The second, is a lot more serious. I came across one of my friends myspace accounts to find out that one of my high school friends was killed in Iraq in November. His name was Allan Espiritu and he was Corpsmen for the Marines, which I guess is similar to a medic. He was killed by an explosive inside his Humvee. Click here for a short story of him and here for his obituary.
I'm still shock of the news. I haven't seen Allan in almost 10 years, probably since I was back at Oxnard College. Allan was a nice person. He sat in back of me Freshmen year in Alegebra and we sometimes helped each other out with our math problems. I remembered one time, I was walking home Freshmen year and he was about to get ready for football practice. I remembered him yelling, 'Joesan!' I turned and I was all, 'Hey, wassup Allan?' And he actually took time to walk over to me, in full football pads, and we just talked a little. Asked how things were, how I did on the last Algebra test. I thought it was pretty cool that he'd actually stop and walk over, I guess because since he was a football player and I always assumed jocks were too cool enough to talk to the non-jocks. But it was something that just stuck in my head about him. Hehe, on a side note, I actually had my first 'kiss' with his ex-wife back when we both were living in Guam. I think we were both 3 years old at the time...haha. Anyhow, rest in peace Allan. You fought for our country, and died a hero.
On to more happier news...
I went to the Kings/Ducks game at the Pond Friday night, and the Kings won 4-3 in a shootout! It was so awesome!! I had two extra tickets that I tried desperately to give away, but couldn't. Our seats were dope...check out the pics. The Kings went up 2-0, but I knew they weren't going to keep the lead. Anaheim actually took the lead 3-2 until rookie Petr Kanko scored his first goal and tied the game 3-3. The Kings almost won with 30 seconds left, when Pavol Demitra went in on a breakaway, deked out J.S. Giguere and hit the post. The game went to a shoot out, and both Demitra and Alexander Frolov scored on their attemps while Kings goalie Mathieu Garon stopped Teemu Selanne and Scott Niedermeyer on their bids. It was awesome!! The crowd was going nuts!! Karen was a little bit nervous cuz we were going into enemy territory, but I told her not to worry cuz there are always a lot of Kings fans that go to the Pond when they battle each other. When we got to the parking lot, we noticed a bunch of Kings fans wearing their jerseys. At the game, it seemed like 60 percent were Ducks fans and 40 percent Kings fans.
Its a little sad that Anaheim can't even fill their arena with a good amount of fans, but i guess since the kings have been around since 1967 and the Ducks only since 1993, there are going to be a lot of loyal Kings fans around. Its funny though, cuz at Staples, there's barely any Duck fans around. On Friday's game, most of our section were Kings fans. So we got the perfect seats!
Afterwards, we headed over to Jay and Jovan's for the tree decoration. The guys taught me how to play a little bit of Warcraft, which still confuses me. I dunno if I'll ever get the hang of it. The tree looks awesome, though I know making the garland of popcorn was a pain. Can't wait for Friday!!
Saturday and today, I did most of my Christmas shopping. I just have a couple of people left, then I'm done. I headed over to Best Buy yesterday around 5:00 and found a line of people waiting for more releases of the XBOX 360 on Sunday. I talked to my friend Kirk who was working, and he said they were there at 6 am. Pretty crazy!
As for my bronchitis, I'm still coughing but it seems to be fading away. Hopefully I'll feel better by Christmas. Just sucks that its taking so long to go away.
And on a final note before hitting the sack...I just booked our Tahoe cabin for MLK!!! Just going to wait for the confirmation email tomorrow! Whoo hoo!!

Okay I haven't posted in awhile. Partly is because I'm still sick and I don't like being in front of the computer long. I went back to the doctor today and I she finally diagnosed me with bronchitis. I threw up last night after the holiday staff party. Wasn't good. So I got new antibiotics and hopefully by the weekend I'll feel a lot better.
Being sick has bummed me out for the holidays. I'm so far behind in work, I haven't done any Christmas shopping, haven't researched for our Tahoe trip, haven't played hockey in almost a month, etc, etc. Being sick hasn't really put me in the holiday mood just yet. Hopefully that'll change. Still gotta go to Disneyland too!! Anyone wanna come along with Karen and me?
Had a pretty good weekend. Karen and I watched Love Actually on Friday. I love that movie, I think its my favorite chick flick. And plus, its a pretty good holiday flick too. I think it was one of the first movies I watched with Karen, so its always good to watch it with her.
Saturday I went to Staples with Ry and watched the Clips vs. Suns game. Clips won that night, and afterwards they had a celebrity basketball game. Check out the pics. It was cool, celebs like Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Matt Lillard, Donald Fasion from Scrubs, James Lesure from Las Vegas, Tyrese Gibson, and Frankie Muniz particpated. Hugh Hefner and some Playboy models also showed up. It was some Charity Event that Mark Whalberg was putting on.
Sunday, Karen took me out on a date, and we watched The Chronicles of Narnia. It was really really good! I was suprised I liked it more than I would. Good call Karen! It's not your typical kids movie, I think anyone who watch it would really like it. I'd probably go out and watch it again.
I guess in a way I'm a lil sad cuz I miss my dog, Wickett.
She passed away just before Thanksgiving last year at the age of 14. I had her since I was a sophomore in high school, and its still a lil weird going home to Oxnard and she's not there. She would've turned 15 on Saturday. I miss her a lot. She's a Lhasa Apso, and is such a Tomboy. She burps, farts, snores, etc. I'll always remember the last few moments I had with her.
Well, my mom was taking her to the vet frequently last year. She had an infection in her foot and she was lymping for a few months. The vet also found lumps in her stomach. I went home right before my birthday last year to visit her and she wasn't looking too good. But she was really happy to see me. I was hoping she'd last throughout the holidays last year, but she didn't. Right before Thanksgiving last year, my mom wanted me to come home because she was suffering and it didn't seem like she can last. But I couldn't come home for some reason. A few days later, my mom took her to the vet, and he said that it was time to put her to sleep because there was nothing else to be done. I know my mom was really sad. She told me if she could see Wickett one last time before she had to go. So the the vet brought her out, my mom gave her a kiss and told her that she loved her, to be at peace, and said goodbye. My mom left her there, and we never saw her again.
Okay...seriously, tears are streaming down my face...On to happier things...
Oh by the way, I fuckin hate cats!
Going to the Kings/Ducks game on Friday at the Pond. Scored some free tickets through work. Gotta love the freebies!
Okay, as promised, here are some links to some pictures...

So I called in sick today from work. Well not actually called in, since I went to work for an hour to work on some sales reports. But I went home and just knocked most of the day. I went to the doctor, and had some good news. I don't have bronchitis (well, she didn't mention I had any), but more of just the common cough associated with the flu bug that's around. So that's good news. However, I do have a fever at 100 degrees. So I guess I'll be sleeping, laying down, and drinking a lot of gatorade. I got my antibiotics, so hopefully I'll start to feel better soon.
I'm probably not going to go to work also I've arranged with my coworker for him to run the sales reports tomorrow morning. I just hope he doesn't call for questions, cuz I know I'll be knocked out.
Its weird, I don't think I've called in sick, nor played hookie, the entire year. I got sick last year on the way home from vegas after stopping Tommy's in Barstow. Yeah, chilicheeseburger, chili cheese hot dog, and chili cheese fries will do some damage. I ended up throwing up for the next two days. But its kinda weird, being home during the middle of the week.
Joe is a jerk. He keeps making fun of me. He wont even let me have a sip of his soda from Wendy's.I hope he gets sick soon! Mooha...Moohaha!
Okay, back to bed...time to watch the Kings game...bastards have lost 4 in a row!

Sunday, December 4
Had a good weekend, but of course not long enough like all weekends.
Good times on Friday, celebrating Joe's birthday. Happy Birthday roommie, although you didn't drink the Jack and Coke I bought you. Its all good!
Had a fun day with Cicely and Ryan on Saturday, spending almost the entire day in L.A. We went to Ski Dazzle (my second trip in two days), and it was really fun. As posted in Cicely's blog, Ryan and I showed how much troublemakers we are when we hang out. I think that was probably the highlight of the weekend. The only thing that probably would've made it perfect is if UCLA would've beaten USC, but we all know that wasn't going to happen. But anyhow, we spent a good 2 hours there and headed to West L.A., where Cicely recommended this good chicken and salad joint she used to go when she lived nearby. The place is freakin good! Chicken was oh so good! Good job Cicely! Then we headed over to the WESSSYDE Pavilion and shopped more. And no, I didn't buy anything.
Question...don't you hate it when you buy food to go, and when you get home, you find out you're order gets fucked up? Last night around 9:45, I was craving a delicious Fatburger with cheese, egg, and bacon, so I called in my order, picked it up down the street, headed back home, and to find my burger had just that...cheese, egg, and bacon. They fuckin forgot the lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, mustard, ketchup and whatever else to put in it! What the hell dude?? I paid over $9 for that combo, and shit, my burger was not even half of what it was suppose to be! And I couldn't go back cuz they closed at 10pm. Just being that disappointed, I lost my appetite. I hate it when that happens!
Have any of you seen the Trapped in the Closet episodes by R. Kelly? I've heard Kevin and Bean knocking on it in the mornings and Cicely told me it was on late last night. So along with Karen, we were watching it and discussing it thru AIMS last night, and man is it ever so awful! So awful that its yet, hilarious and entertaining. I really can't believe this sellout freakin made this piece of crap! Its almost as bad as RENT. No actually, I like it better since its actually entertaining. But anyhow, it was so bad, I had to download the entire thing.
Today was our last game of the season for softball. It was fun, though of course we lost. Joe and Jevon got to sub in for a couple of players, and they played great. But it didn't hit me until the end that it would be our final game, and that we probably might not be seeing all of each other that often. And that made me a little sad. For me, playing softball on Sundays was a time to hang out with your closest friends and just to have good old fun for a few hours, win or loose. So I always looked forward to Sundays cuz of that. And if we do all play again next season, it wont be until January or so. And that is a big IF, cuz we have to find a league where the skill is comparable to ours. I was talking to Ryan, and it seemed like we probably wont see all of us together until the annual Christmas party, which is on the 23rd. Okay, I'm overreacting...
Just got home from dinner with Belle, Cici, Lou, Ryan, Joe, Jevon, and Karen. I'm getting hungry already.
Good times on Friday, celebrating Joe's birthday. Happy Birthday roommie, although you didn't drink the Jack and Coke I bought you. Its all good!
Had a fun day with Cicely and Ryan on Saturday, spending almost the entire day in L.A. We went to Ski Dazzle (my second trip in two days), and it was really fun. As posted in Cicely's blog, Ryan and I showed how much troublemakers we are when we hang out. I think that was probably the highlight of the weekend. The only thing that probably would've made it perfect is if UCLA would've beaten USC, but we all know that wasn't going to happen. But anyhow, we spent a good 2 hours there and headed to West L.A., where Cicely recommended this good chicken and salad joint she used to go when she lived nearby. The place is freakin good! Chicken was oh so good! Good job Cicely! Then we headed over to the WESSSYDE Pavilion and shopped more. And no, I didn't buy anything.
Question...don't you hate it when you buy food to go, and when you get home, you find out you're order gets fucked up? Last night around 9:45, I was craving a delicious Fatburger with cheese, egg, and bacon, so I called in my order, picked it up down the street, headed back home, and to find my burger had just that...cheese, egg, and bacon. They fuckin forgot the lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, mustard, ketchup and whatever else to put in it! What the hell dude?? I paid over $9 for that combo, and shit, my burger was not even half of what it was suppose to be! And I couldn't go back cuz they closed at 10pm. Just being that disappointed, I lost my appetite. I hate it when that happens!
Have any of you seen the Trapped in the Closet episodes by R. Kelly? I've heard Kevin and Bean knocking on it in the mornings and Cicely told me it was on late last night. So along with Karen, we were watching it and discussing it thru AIMS last night, and man is it ever so awful! So awful that its yet, hilarious and entertaining. I really can't believe this sellout freakin made this piece of crap! Its almost as bad as RENT. No actually, I like it better since its actually entertaining. But anyhow, it was so bad, I had to download the entire thing.
Today was our last game of the season for softball. It was fun, though of course we lost. Joe and Jevon got to sub in for a couple of players, and they played great. But it didn't hit me until the end that it would be our final game, and that we probably might not be seeing all of each other that often. And that made me a little sad. For me, playing softball on Sundays was a time to hang out with your closest friends and just to have good old fun for a few hours, win or loose. So I always looked forward to Sundays cuz of that. And if we do all play again next season, it wont be until January or so. And that is a big IF, cuz we have to find a league where the skill is comparable to ours. I was talking to Ryan, and it seemed like we probably wont see all of us together until the annual Christmas party, which is on the 23rd. Okay, I'm overreacting...
