2 Years ago today...

...me and my wife said "I do" to love each other forever. Yes, it is our anniversary. I wanted to start off how I hate Hawaiian Garden. Quick note = I went there last night to try to win some extra money, yeah, as my motto stated, "Maybe outdrawn, but never outplayed." Let's just say I lost hands that I should have won.

So my daughter got this award to have a free dinner at Rainforest Cafe. Since my wife is all about Disney, we decided to have dinner there. We invited my parents, my brother and his girlfriend, my yaya, grandma, mother-in-law. We got to sit in the patio. It was a little chilly, and the warmers helped a little bit. It was really nice. We got to pay for dinner and it was nice since our parents always pay for us. It's like, "Yes, we're grown up now. Now we can pay for you."

There is so many things going on, it would be nice that I enter more stuff. Hopefully I can get more items in here.

Can't wait for tomorrow

We will be going to Las Vegas for our anniversary. This is the first time we are actually planning things over there. Before we would just go play poker and wing the rest of it. She almost spoiled the surprise that I have for her, but we will see.

There is tension right now I have at work. It's not in my group thank goodness. It's one of the ladies in the other group. I'm sure she's a nice girl, but she says she doesn't care what we say but she doesn't really listen to the constructive criticism well.

Oh well, I hope the day doesn't go super slow. I have some work that I need to do and I just hope that it goes ok tomorrow.

Viva Las Vegas!!!

Can't wait till Friday

I've been bombarded at work and BOY do I need to get out. Don't get me wrong. I like my job. Keeps me busy and out of trouble. But sometimes when they ask me to do certain projects, argh, it's frustrating and stressful at the same time.

It's almost 1:30 am, kind of sleepy, what to do what to do.

Went to dinner at my parents. I ate alot! I need to really control my appetite. Well I'm looking forward to this weekend for our wedding anniversary. I really do need it and I wished that it was already here.

OK...me sleepy now. Talk to you tomorrow

Back from the Philippines

Well, not me but my wife. She got back yesterday actually. I know I have been very lazy with my blogging. I will try to be better at this. At least reserve the last part of my night to blog. There have been so many things going on. I promise to be better. Sorry, gotdistracted. My dog is chewing on something I know he's not supposed to. Oh well.

So my wife comes back with the mosquitos marks that show that they feasted on her. She had a good time. She was actually surprised that it was cooler her than in the Philippines. The dollar grew weak in the Philippines. It is now P42 for $1. But still, not bad. The only expensive part is the ticket going over there. I would like to go back. It has been over 20 years. I think I heard a saying in a play or movie about a Vietnamese girl who was raised in America. She said something like, "It's wierd. My home is a foreign land that I know nothing about." That's how I'm feeling. No matter what though, I love USA, by Philippines I will always consider home. The home that I have forgotten. Anyway...

Looking forward to this weekend. We're spending our 2nd wedding anniversary in Vegas. I know, so what since we go there almost all the time right? It's always different when we go there. Plus we both need to get away so I'm very looking forward to it. I hope the week goes by pretty fast.

OK...that's all for now. My wife's uncle's step-daughter got married yesterday. Very nice ceremony at the botanical Japanese garden in CSU Long Beach. It was kinda hot, but a very nice ceremony.

Day one of 5ive

Sorry haven't typed in a while. You'd figure that there was time to type in everything right?

I will blog what we did the past few days, but for now, I'm just figuring out how to be alone.

She went to the Philippines yesterday to take care of some business. It's just me and the kids. I know I can take care of them. I just miss her very much.

So my other laptop crahsed. Going to bring it to work to hopefully get it fixed. I think it has to do with the internal battery that keeps the time and date updated. When my laptop goes on sleep mode, or even when I use it for a wile, the time moves slower. That totally wrecks my poker program. hehehe

Ensenada April 2008 - Day 1

This is my log from our trip to Ensenada. I wil break it down so these posts won't be that long.

Day 1:

We make our way to San Pedro and we finally get to port. The first thing we see is this huge ship. Our ship. So we go down and check in our bags and we wait for the rest of the group. When they finay arrive, we check in and make our way to the boat. And lo and behold, there is a bartender waiting to serve us. I was going to like this trip.

We get into our rooms, drop off the bags, and make our way to the buffet. It was good. After that we made it to the pool area. Yes, drinks were a flowing. We had a couple of shots and some beer to chase it down. There was a lot of sun bathers already. But man, it was nice to just get away. We were on the pool deck when the cruise liner started to move. We were well on our way to Ensenada. As we were hanging out, we totally forgot that dinner was at 6. It was 5:15 and we needed to get the kids out of the pool.

We got them all dressed up and we headed down to the dinner room. There we met our head waiter, assistant waiter, and someone else. So many waiters. We had a great dinner. Afterwards we went to go to the kids club to see what we can do with the kids. Then as we were listening to the speakers, they asked me to come up and dance with other dads. Yeah, that caught me off guard. After we got the kids into the day care, we met with the cousins and went to the club. It was Karaoke night. It was a rough night. hehehe. So we were just enjoying each other's company and drinking. And just think, this was only the first night.

Bon Voyage!!

Sorry it's been a while. I've been trying to keep my mind off of today because, well, it's my first cruise. My grandma-in-law, who is a big baller, is paying for everyone in her family and extended family to go on a 4 day cruise to Ensenada. I love her.

The week started off fast, not thinking about today. Then Tuesday came and it was all over. I started looking on the internet about the cruise and it over. I couldn't wait for today. We still need to do some last minute packing but other than that we're ready.

Since it's my first cruise I really don't know what to expect. But from what I've been told, there is a lot eating involved, which is good.

I'm really looking forward to this trip. Break from work, break from cleaning the dog's pee and poop, break from everything.

Ok. I'll post pics of the trip. C U guys later!!!
