Follow ups

If any were wondering, the baby's name is Natalie Rose.

And yes, I like the starwars trilogy, I especially like the subtle changes that was put in the movies, in order to somehow streamline it with the first episodes. you just have to get and watch it.

Busy weekend

This past weekend I went to hang out with Ledge and Aileen in Vallejo (saturday that is) . We were suppose to move some of their furniture out but Ledge decided to hold off since he's got time before they have to move out (selling their house). So we decided to go to Cache Creek Casino, but before we got there we decided to stop by a new housing development up in Fairfield called Aria. Man the model homes they have out there were really nice. The architecture was nice and so were the options. Made me almost want to buy one, until I saw the price on the floor plans, let's just say the cheapest one was $846,000. Now If I had a rich wife then I can afford it, but I don't think I would like that commute very much. Then we went to the casino, and lo and behold, my luck finally changed and I won, albeit it was only $100, but the bottom line was that I finally came out ahead. I'm splurging on a Carl's Jr. $6 burger ;p

Sunday I went fishing at lake Berryessa where it was HOT HOT HOT. Man was I baking out there in the middle of the lake,but it felt good just to be out there and fishing with friends (I went out with Phil and his brother Mike) I caught 4 fish, albeit all dinks,but at least I didn't get skunked. Afterwards Phil and I treated ourselves to a couple of tacos from Jack in the box (I know, we're pretty easy to satisfy).

Now I have to wait for my dad's arrival sometime this week. It'll be good to see him again this year, since I usually just see him once year (depending on whether they come here or I go visit them back in the motherland).

P.S.
For all who knows Liza, she had a baby girl last sunday. I just got the news today.
She and everyone else are doing fine.

Oh well, my mom left last thursday to go back home to PI and my sister left last saturday as well. I was pretty bummed out that I wasn't able to spend more time with them while they were here, work got in the way and I also just had the show with likha. On a happier note, I think my dad is coming here sometime this week to spend some time with my lola (his mother).
So I'm looking forward to that.

A funny thing happened at the airport last saturday, something that I didn't think I was going to witness ever. I don't know if you've been to SFO Int'l terminal, well they have this huge revolving doors as the entryway to the terminal, while I was waiting for my sister to go in for her boarding call, I saw an elderly man go through the revolving doors and actually complete a revolution around before realizing how to finally get into the terminal. It was quite comical, but at the same time I felt sorry for the old man as he looked extremely confused after he got through. I just bit my lip and pretended that I didn't see anything.

Also I would like to congratulate KP for what I know was a fantastic show up in Prince Rupert.
I'm sure they put on a show of shows. Also I want to wish Likha for their show in Pleasanton this saturday. Sorry I couldn't join you for this performance but you know I'm their in spirit.
Break a leg!!

This past weekend, I attended a baptism for my niece Alexa Nicole, I was one of the primary godparents for her and what an honor it was to be considered by my cousin for this part of her life. After the baptism we had a little reception and I saw a few of my relatives that I haven't seen in a while. It's always nice to have a reunion, on whatever scale, with one's family.

Hmm, Now I have two goddaughters and both named Alexa. I guess I better write their whole names on their gifts come x-mas time.

On a different note, our friends from up north, KP of B.C., will be having a show at Prince Rupert. I would like to wish them the best of luck and I'm sure that they will kick ass on their show up there.

HeatWave

Man, I couldn't believe how hot it's been the last few days, I guess it's one way to salvage what's left of the summer season. It has been especially hot inside my big brown truck, we put a weather thermometer in there and it read 98 degrees yesterday. Man that's enough to cook you and anyone else, if you stay in there long enough. Unfortunately we have to stay in there and finish the job. It's time like these that I wish I had an office job with the A/C blasting. But then again I wouldn't be outside and wouldn't be able to see all the lovely honeys in their "summer" wear. That's all for now.

Aaaaahhhhh.......time to rest.

This past weekend was probably one of the more hectic weekends for me this year. We just had our show Lakbay and man I probably had a total of 14 hours of sleep from thursday to sunday.

I think overall the show went well, if you count out the rondalla instruments beign out of tuned for maria clara (actually it was just me, Ewa, and Bry) because of the heat. After watching the video that sunday nite, I was quite impressed with the fact that we managed to salvage the maria clara suite, although the music wasn't as strong as it should've been, you couldn't really tell if the instruments are out of tuned. (the only person that probably noticed was Clark, Bryan's brother). It's shows like these that makes it hard to walk away from Likha, the camaraderie, family bondings, and of course the food and wine. But I know it will happen sooner or later. I might have to switch hours at work, I might have to work nights and some weekends, but we'll see. It will surely make it difficult to do the one thing I have a lot of passion for, but as they say c'est lavie.

To my Likha Family, especially the rock star musicians,
Raise the Glass!!!!

Thanks

I found out that they finally moved my Grandma out of the 5th floor (critical area) and into the 9th floor (semi-recovery area) I guess this means that she is on her way to recovery although I think it's a long road at that, she's not exactly that young anymore age wise (90).

Thanks to everyone's prayers and thoughts, my family and I appreciate all of the good thoughts that are coming our way, keep it coming.

Now if I can only clean up my part of the music for the show.
