The Getty and Lacma

So, back on 4/4 Jon and I went to go get some culture for the day. We started off at The Getty museum and it was beautiful saw some great works of art from Van Gogh and we spent about 4 hours there. After lunch(I love Zankou) we headed over to Lacma and spent aroudn 3 hours there and saw some pieces from Picasso that were amazing. We ended up meeting up with Jon's friend Joe afterwards and had some Korean BBQ...yummy like always!

Hockey on Sundays!

So, these 2 past Sundays I was invited to watch some hockey games and I would never turn down hockey tickets...let alone any tickets. Anyways, 3/29 got to go see the Avs. vs. Ducks and the Ducks ended winning 4-1...not as much action as I thought there would be. This past Sunday got to go see the Sharks vs. Ducks and the Sharks ended up winning 3-2...great game with some big hits and watching the bandwagon leave early like always.

Once a month...

So, I use to be able to update my blog pretty frequently...now it just seems that I can only get to it once a month with work and everything else(don't know what the everyting else is!) Anway back in the way back machine and on 3/8 I went and saw the Wild vs. Ducks and the Ducks lost in OT 4-3...it was very nice.

Back to the present work has been picing up with the lunch's and meetings which is good to keep me busy. My family from Chicago left about a week ago now and I swear everytime they are out here we try to fit evey little thing in and I think I got a total of 13 hours sleep while they were out here for the week. Don't get me wrong I love when they come out but, it's always a shoot gun week when they are out! It's weird being 33 b/c I don't feel that old but, I need to get moving in some sort of direction with life!?! I have to start on my cousins website for her wedding that's next Feb. 2010 which will be crazy! I went and saw Slipknot/Coheed & Cambria/Trivium at the new Citizens Bank Arena in Ontario with Dave. That concert was rad, I lost my voice and i was sore(damn getting old!) . I also have Rise Against/Rancid/ Billy Talent and the Forum in July with my buddy Jon that will be pretty cool since I have not been to the Forum since the Kings left for Staples. Anyways, lets see if I can get here more often to ramble on and on and on...

ummmm....

So, today is a bit crazy because I have to set up for the Life Science Group party that goes from 5-9 tonight. I got the Bristol Farms coming around 3:30 and just have to set up the alcohol and Big Canyon classroom style. I will be glad when today is over because I have stressing out about this for some time now. Went out with Chris last night and ate at Corner Bakery at the Block of Orange(that whole place it's like one store after another is closing). After we picked up Cold Stone and went back to his place to watch Scrubs! I am going to the Ducks game tonight where they are taking on the Flames(Ducks won 3-2) which should be a good game. I guess I'm done rambling back to.....work!

A little behind!!! 1/6/09 Kings vs. Ducks Round 2

So, since I have doing the work of 2 people at work now I can't get to blogging as much as I would like that's why I am a month behind and my 1st post in over a month. Back on Jan. 6 I got to go see my Kings take on the Ducks and I would never pass up on seeing my boys. We ended up losing 3-1 but, oh well...It's my Kings!

The Motel Life

This past Saturday I went with my cousin and her fiance to this place in downtown Upland called The Wire. We saw Dave's cousins band, The Motel Life play and they were pretty good and there was a good crowd there to see them. After we went and ate at Corkey's(yummy!) and went back to my aunt's house and Dave and I were playing around on the computer and we went on the KROQ to find what concerts are coming out and we saw that Slipknot was playing Coheed & Cambria and we were like to 2 school girls and we had to go. So, we got tickets 3/10/09 at Citizens Bank Arena in the club level, section 104...hell yeah!!!

Ducks vs. Bandwagon!

Last Sunday on 12/14 I took Jimmy to the Ducks game vs. Wild(tickets I won) in the Club section. They were great seats and had a great time but, the Ducks still won 4-2. That following Tuesday 12/16 we went back to the pond to see the Rangers and it was a blast. There were more Rangers fans making noise then any of the bandwagon(I mean Ducks fans). The Rangers won that game 3-1, nothing like East Coast team coming in and showing what true hockey fans are!

...and the winner is...ME!

OK, first off I have been slacking on my blogging I don't know if it's because I have been busy or just lazy(I think it's a little of both). Anyway, a couple of weeks ago we had our holiday party at the Island Hotel to eat and drink our weigh in alcohol. It was a lot of fun with all of my Friends and co-workers and I won a Ducks tickets on the Club level and framed picture that I ended up selling. After the party it moved to the Yardhouse but, before we went there we had to ship Rita to Laura's couch because she had way to much to drink. After that Jon and I headed back down to Yardhouse and hung out there for a couple of hours then went to dinner with our other friend Paige.

2 games this weekend...

This past Friday I was invited by my friend to Ducks/Preds game at the Pond. I always never pass up free tickets and especially if there is a chance to watch the Ducks lose, I'm there! It was a great game and the Preds won in OT 4-3. On Sunday I got to go watch my Kings play the Ducks and it was crazy at the Pond. There was one fight great hitting the only bad part was that we lost 2-0 to them. In all it's never a dull weekend when you can score free tickets!!!

Ducks vs. RedWings

This past Wednesday I went to the Ducks game and the pond vs. the Redwings. It was a great game lots of hitting a couple of fights on the ice and in the stands. A couple of Wings fans in the section next to us tossed some octopus on the ice it was great except the Ducks won in OT4-3.

San Diego

This past weekend I headed down to SD for the weekend for my friends sons birthday. I got there Friday afternoon round 12:30 and Dar and Junior were finishing up setting up for the day and I helped with a couple of last minute things. That night we headed over to their DJ karaoke gig they have ever Friday night. All over their friends were there and we pretty much took over the restaurant and patio area. I won a t-shirt from there and after we headed back to the house for the after party and more karaoke. I think I got to bed around 12:30-1:00...

The next morning woke up around 7am and had to finish up on the rest of stuff for the party. Everyone started arriving around 1ish and there were a ton of kids! It was pretty hot that day but, you couldn't tell from the kids running around everywhere. That night Dar set up a screen and wired the TV so we could watch the UFC pay-per-view fight outside. After the fight was over they set up Rockband and were playing that into the late night. So, with all this going on I was drinking way to much and finally around 12ish my body said "no more!!!" So, let the puking begin!!! It sucked and I was pissed at myself because I should know better but, Dar was right there to help. He is a great friend and I apologized to him for this and he was like, no sweat you had a good night...I fell asleep round 1ish...and didn't throw up the rest of the night!

Sunday morning I was fine but, just real sluggish I laid on the coach and watch football all day long til we left for Outback for dinner. I had a blast out there and can't wait to do it again!

Choc Walk 2008

A couple of weeks ago I participated in the Choc Walk that took place at Disneyland and CDA. I woke up around 5am and got there around a little after 6 at the Ihop. I met up with Jon and Jasmine and we headed over to the park to meet up with the rest of our co-workers. The walk started in Disney and went thru CDA and ended in Downtown Disney. It was a great experience and for an awesome cause. My work sponsored all the employees that wanted to do it and I also got donations from my family and friends for the event. The event raised over 1.5 million and I think it's something I'm gonna do every year from now on...

My weekend Sucked!!!

So, on Saturday the Dodgers swept my Cubbies 3-0(thanks for nothing!)to advance to play Phil. Luckily I didn't watch the game because I could not bear it after the 1st 2 games. Instead I hung out with Jimmy and had dinner at Sonic(oh yeah!) and watched Elite XC and saw Kimbo get beat by some hack. On Sunday I had my hockey game at night and got checked(non-check league) into the boards and went left knee first. I was in so much pain and still am, this is the 1st time in 13+ years that I have had an injury like this. What pissed me off even more was the guy that did it never apologized or anything(I'll remember that for the next time we play them). I played the rest of the game and we ended up winning 8-5. When I got home I iced it for the night...

...oh and for the cherry on my crap salad that was my weekend, my fantasy football got killed 105-65!

What a Wii...kend!!!

This past Friday I headed up to spend some time with my cousins and play some Wii. We played all night Friday and Saturday and we even got our parents to play. They were so funny watching them play baseball and tennis. We all went out to dinner on Saturday at a little Mexican resturant close to the house. It always so much fun when I get together with my family weather we're watching TV or going out it doesn't matter.

...on Sunday got invited to the Ducks game to watch a lil preason hockey, the Canucks won in a shootout 2-1....and won the game 5-4. =)

this past weekend...

So, this past weekend we celebrated my grandfather's 75th birthday and took him out to dinner at this place in San Dimas called Pinnacle Pete's(steak place). It was a lot of fun and a ton of food and my grandpa was so happy to have all of his family with him. We got him a Tom Tom GPS system, a framed photo of the family, and 75 lottery tickets...his hand is gonna be hurtin after scratching all of the tickets.

Angels vs. Yankees

So a couple of weeks ago back on the 9th of Sept. my buddy Jon got some tickets to the Angel game and invited me to go. They were some nice seats, Club level...you can never go wrong. Oh yeah, what could go wrong is we get killed 7-1 that night and we sat around all these Yankee fans talking so much crap. I would have said something but, I wasn't in the mood to get my ass kicked...

...Angels/Cubs World Series 2008!!!

Labor Day Weekend...

This past Saturday night 8/30 I was invited to the Angel game against the Rangers and I had so much fun like usual we won 4-3 and Frankie got his 53rd save. On Sunday we headed over to my Aunt's house for a bbq and swimming and it was so nice laying in the pool and catching some rays. The one thing that I have learned over the years is that my family is the most important thing and any time that I can spend with them I will. It sucks not having a girlfriend and as I get older I realize that I want to get to married and have children, I know she's out there just don't know where!

....Oh I completely forgot Jon sold me his Nintendo Wii and I love it!!!

I am so far behind...

So, lets see I am about 2 weeks behind with this still trying to finish up with Chicago and all. On 8/12 we flew back from Chicago out of O'Hara and it was pretty funny because a lot and i mean a lot of people were on stand-by. I told my family if they offer some sweet deal to take a later flight or the next morning I was all for it and they all agreed. Nothing ever came about so we took off at 7:15pm their time and arrived back home at 10:30pm our time. I got home and unpacked and crashed til the next morning.



The following day my friend invited me to the Angel game that night vs. the Mariners. I was all excited, Diamond Club seats and the Angels it just doesn't get any better than that. Oh wait, if they could have won that would have been better, 7-10...stupid bullpen!

Great America!!!

So, on Monday 8/11 I took my cousin Allyssa to Great America which was in Gurnee about an 1 1/2 away. We got there a little after 10am and hit Superman 1st it was weird and felt like you were flying. We went on Batman and Iron Wolf a couple of times. We rode in the very front on Iron Eagle and I was cursing like a sailor going up because the drop is so steep you don't even see the track. Oh, and the best part we wasted 3+ hours waiting for the new ride The Dark Knight it was about a 30 second ride...that sucked!!! In all, we had a great time and the best part we had a funnel cake sunday!!!

Downtown!

...I'm now almost a week behind with this, so anyway last Friday the 8th we took the express train downtown in the morning to Chicago for the day. It was so nice down there not to packed with people and we walked all around there. We hit Millennium Park, Michigan Ave., and Rush St.(no drinking it was to early)!!! We grabbed popcorn from Garret's(yummy!) and ate at this dim sum placed called Wow Bow, it was really good and cheap. Did some shopping at Nordstrom's Rack and TJ Maxx.
