UUGGHH

The dudes that's been doing our floors must not have other clients, 'cause they have been working on re-flooring the kitchen, family, and 1 (small) bedroom and it's been 2 weeks and they are not finished yet. Man, talk about the moving at the speed of stop. If I was running a business and these 2 were on my staff, they'd been fired a long time ago.

Last wednesday was Andres Laxa's b-day. I went and hooked up with the family at the Jungle, also on the same nite, the Red Sox won the world series, after 86 years. Good, now the people up in Boston can enjoy this for a year and then they can shut up about that stupid curse and go back to just being plain idiots. nuff said.

Slacker

Ok, so I have been slacking with my blog lately, and for that I do apologize.

Well, let's see now, there's so much that have happened since the last time I blogged so I'm just gonna do a mini synopsis of events.

-Dad finally left last thursday for home, felt sad and miss him already.

-Went to my goddaughter Alexa's b-day yesterday, she's growing up too fast-there was lots of food, lots of kids, and a whole lotta mess after. But then again it was a kid's party.

-Went to practice today to see what's up with Likha, there must be at least 20 people that are part of the dance workshops. Felt great to see that the recruitment process worked and here's to hoping that everyone would stay with the group after the workshop and auditions are over.

-Learned that Ernie (our Bass player) might not go to Brazil, therefore I have to learn how to play the Bass in a few months before we head out to Brazil. Yikes.

-Finally visited Moe, Liza, Isabel and the newest member of the family Natalie. It was so good to see them and our friend Mur also decided to visit and it was good to see her too.

-Looks like the Red Sox might finally win a world series championship and shed the "curse of the bambino" label off their backs. I hope it happens too so then all their fans would finally shut up about the curse as the excuse every time they lose (after this year, that is).

-Getting the floors re done at home, took the carpet off and started to put hardwood parquet flooring, so my whole bedroom set is inside the garage right now, and since the people we hired tend to move at the speed of paint drying, it will probably stay there 'til the end of the month.
Sucks.

That's all for now.

Do you think pro athletes get paid too much?

Well, Do you? Pls. Discuss.

Good times

Last saturday, two of Likha's own tied the knot. My rondalla group played for the wedding ceremony and the performance for the reception, it went well. Especially Canon in D (considering I learned to play it the thursday before the wedding) few minor mistakes on my part, but that's because I couldn't hear everyone else and I kept losing my place. Overall it was fun, especially the part where we have to answer "Lord hear our prayer". It was quite funny to hear Almar and Ernie try to outdo each other with their "emoting" of the prayer answer (this going on, while the overhead microphones were turned on).

At the reception, it was nice seeing some of the former members of Likha that we haven't seen in a while, like Bern, Felisa, Joanna. It felt like a mini reunion. Of course the best table in the house was the rondalla table, I think we were the loudest and most rambunctious group, this while we were sober. But hey, WE ARE the life of most parties anyways, hehehe.

Well, To them, Raise the Glass!!!

P.S. I forgot to add Mur to the list of the oldees that was at the wedding. Sorry about that.

No Love from the baseball gods

Alas, the Giants and the A's are out of the playoff contentions. They both lost yesterday and thus were eliminated from the playoff run. I'm sure my friend Nick is very happy 'cause his dodgers are in the playoffs. Don't worry Nicky, they would probably lose to the Cardinals in the first round.

I went fishing yesterday and did pretty good, cuaght 3 smallmouths and 1 largemouth, about 1.5 to 3 lbs each. Not bad but wasn't as good as I wanted it to be, but then again I rather have a bad day fishing than a good day working.

My dad will be arriving tonite so I will probably be slacking on my blogs as I will be spending time with him as he visits my grandmother in the hospital.

Here's a quote from a commercial I saw last week, "why does 6 hate 7?" ans: "because 7, 8, 9."
(have to read out loud in order to decipher) I know, it's kinda stupid but I hope it made you chuckle a little bit.

Pennant Fever

This weekend will be a crazy baseball weekend. The Giants are 3 games behind the dodgers with 3 games to go before playoffs. The A's are tied with the angels for the division lead with 3 games to go. Needless to say, I will be watching (or listening to the radio) baseball this whole weekend.

Tomorrow, I go fishing again, hopefully I catch a lunker and take a picture of it.

Sunday, I think my dad arrives so I'm excited for that.

Have a nice weekend people.
