The last few days had been probably the most stressful of my life, my Grandmother has been in the hospital for about two weeks now, she was having kidney failure so her body was starting to shut down, so the doctors decided to make her go through dialysis and it seems to be working. She is still a little weak but at lest she is able to eat food now and seems to be a little more energetic, thank the lord.
My mom and sister is in town too for various reasons, and it's good to see them.
The show is in a week, I'm screwing up my end of the music and I don't know why I'm having mental block as far as playing is concerned.
Work sucks because we are having all kinds of problems with the new system that was put it 2 months ago. Actually it's a combination of the system and the people that was entrusted to see it through. Can you say don't care about the employees. But I digress.
Hopefully things will get better and maybe I can have some piece of mind, at least for a day.

good times
Last friday nite, we all went out to Chevy's to hang out with Veejay, Michelle, and Emily. It was good to see them and among the people that were there were, Ed, Tina and baby Isaac, whom I have given a new street name (Icey B, for [Isaac Bayani]) Moe, Liza and Isabel, Mur, John w/ Andres and Emilio, Ledge, Aileen w/ Alexa and Antonio. Gosh Mur and I were the only one without any kids. It was good to see everyone, lord knows with everyone's schedule it's almost tough to spend any time togetheror even just to see and/or talk to each other.
Practice, today was a bit hectic but it went ok. My fingers started cramping up while we were playing Kuratsa, man do I ever hate that song. Too many runs and it's hell on the fingering methods. Oh well, more of the same for sunday when we have a full dress rehearsal at CCC.
For those that will be in town next week, why don't you check out our show, it will be at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco, tickets are available at Cityboxoffice or for mor info got to this.
'til next time, Fish on dudes!

2 weeks 'til showtime
Man, it is almost showtime and I'm really scared now. We just finished practicing today and, maybe it's the unusually high standards I have that's showing, but I'm really scared that we won't put on a good enough show for the masses. I mean, it should be going real smooth during the practices but man, there are so many mistakes and I don't think that everyone knows their dances by heart. Even the music was a little blah, I know I'm partly to blame on that too since I didn't decide to be part of the show 'til a month ago and my playing skills aint exactly up to par as yet. Oh well, here's to praying and keeping the faith that everything will be alright.
On a lighter note, it was good to see my good friend Sam Largo at practice today. Man, did he ever lose a lot of weight. I almost didn't recognize him. Also, our good friend Veejay Correia is in town for at least a week and I hope that we get to hook up with him and Michelle and Emily during the week.

Today I found out that I will be getting a new boss at work. My former manager just got moved to a different dept. after managing for only 3 mos. This sucks, 'cause I've known him since my first day at UPS and now he's moving somewhere else and I have to learn the diff. nuances of my new boss. Oh well life goes on I guess.
On a lighter note, my cousin just called me and she asked me if I could be a ninong for her daughter. I told her that it would be an honor to do so. My niece is so cute and her name is Alexa, wait a minute, that means I will have 2 god daughters both named Alexa. Oh well, at least I will never get the name wrong.

Ikea
Tonight after work, I went to Ikea in Emeryville to buy a new computer desk and an office chair. I had to walk through real quickly otherwise I would've ended up buying more things like maybe a new bedroom set or something. Although they do have a bunch of new furnitures in there.
Hmmmm......maybe next time I go there I WILL get a new bed and dresser drawers.

Can you say.......TIRED!
Today I had to take my aunt and uncle to the airport for their flight to Vienna, so I had to get up at 5 am because they had to be at the airport at 6:45. Then I had a meeting at work that started at 7 am for about an hour and then I had to do my route and got off at 6 pm. Then I hit traffic and didn't get home 'til 7:30. Man talk about a LONG day, and it's only tuesday. I think I'm going to sleep tonight and wake up when it's friday.

Damn KFC
Last nite, I decided to buy some kfc hot wings for dinner, I haven't eaten these in a while so I was kind of craving for 'em. But now I remember why I haven't eaten them in a long while, at
3 am, I woke up with a massive stomach cramp (the kind where there was a vise grip taking a hold of your stomach) and I ran to the bathroom, but nothing happened. So I got up and was going back to bed when I had to turn around and pay homage to the bowl (ie; kneel and hurl)
Man, I've never puked that much without any alcohol being involved. I'm never ever ever going back to kfc. I had to call in sick today because I was running to the bathroom every half hour or so.
I'm sticking strictly to beef from now on. I will only eat chicken if I was the one that cooked it.
Anyways, hopefully I'll be better for the weekend.

Weekend
So this weekend was pretty interesting. Friday we had a mini performance at Stanford University for the Asian business school (I think) It went pretty well and then after I just hanged out with the Cruz's at their humble abode (while listening to little Isaac do his grunts and other baby sounds, so cute)
Then saturday I decided to just relax in the morning and then decided to head out to Cache Creek Casino, where I proceeded to donate money to their foundation, later on that afternoon.
Man my unlucky streaks in casinos just keep going and going, hmmm time to stop gambling and go back to fishing.
Sunday, I went to practice and afterwards I realized that the choreography for some dances were not even finished yet.....YIKES isn't it only a month before showtime. Now I've never been nervous about any shows at all, but this one is making me a little nervous. Oh it's not because that we might bomb, I always have faith that we will pull it off no matter what, what I'm nervous about is that we will not be doing our best as far as performing is concerned. For the musicians especially, we only get to practice (percussion) during sundays and at small increments at that. we won't be able to "perfect" the music. It will be hard, but I guess we still have a month til we have the show. Anyways we shall keep moving forward.
Oh I also saw the Bourne Supremacy with Ledge and Aileen, I would say that this movie was good and that it was worht seeing in the theater. Story was decent and M. Damon is not a bad action hero, well at least he was way better than B. Affleck who I think is good for supporting roles only and not as the lead actor.
Anyhoo.......fish on dudes!
