PAC-MAN

Manny Pacquiao - Boston Celtics Picture and Video

Right after Pacquiao emerged the victor with his fight against Diaz, the entire Boston Celtics basketball team, current NBA Champions after humbling Kobe Bryant’s Lakers, went to celebrate with him in the locker room for some picture taking. The NBA champs including Kevin “the Big Ticket” Garnett, Finals MVP Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Sam Cassell, Rajon Rondo, and many more joined the celebration with Pacquiao. Apparently, Pacquiao’s favorite basketball player is Kevin Garnett, and the encounter was “a dream come true” for him. Kevin Garnett also expressed his admiration for the Pound-for-Pound King.
In this video you will see the entire Boston Celtics shouting “Manny, Manny, Manny…” A rare sight, considering they are athlete-millionaires cheering another sportsman millionaire, and certainly much deserved by the Fiipino hero.

NOW, ISN'T THAT JUST DOPE?!?!?!!!!

What a tease!!

Thanks to Edelee and Sharon, I can now pump up my hair due to this tutorial!!! So, if you guys always see me with pumped up hair, it's because I've been practicing!!

Alameda County Sales Tax Increase to 9%???

I know what you're thinking - "WTH?!?!?!", right?!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking when my Boss told me today that Alameda County's sales tax might increase to a whopping 9%..

Alameda County is a county in the U.S. state of California. It occupies most of the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. As of the 2000 census it had a population of 1,443,741, making it the 7th largest county in the state. The county seat is Oakland.
Alameda County currently has the highest sales tax rate in California, 8.75%.

Yeah that's right, Alameda County has the highest sales tax, currently at 8.75%, and they're going to increase it even more.

Sheesh, first the market for houses is at a straight DE-cline (which is bad for sellers), gas prices are off the chain and now they're increasing our sales tax?! What they need to do is increase the sales tax ONLY on cigarettes and liquor! Okay, maybe not the latter.

Left Behind....

Everyone (well it seems like everyone) except ME will be going out of town this weekend.. Miami, Vegas, LA - everyone will be partying outside of the Bay and I'll be stuck by my lonesome..

This could be a good thing and a bad thing. I've been trying to make some "ME" time for the longest, and now the time is presenting itself. Now that it's here though, I'm thinking, "do I really want to be by myself for 4 days while my hubby is grooving til the break of dawn in Miami"? OK, OA - I'm not really going to be ALL by myself - I'll be hanging out with other friends who are left behind also (HAHA) and I can get things done that I've been putting off - like doing the laundry, reorganizing my closet, dyeing my hair... Yipee!

So, all of you who are leaving me this weekend, please take a shot for me and pour one down for the homies (preferably from a 40oz)....

"L" for Lake Tahoe

I thought I was going to break my back doing this pyramid.. Joy's knee digging in Wen's back + Wen's knee digging into my back = double the digging...

It was so beautiful on that day at Camp Richardson, until one of us heared a drunk lady say "What race are those brown people?"

New Fan!

I know, I know... Hella late.. But I am the newest fan of Sex and the City!! OMG, this show is frikken addicting. Everyone's talking about the movie and how good it is, so I wanted to prep myself. Thanks to Noi, I can watch every episode because she let me borrow her thick DVD collection. Last night, Nette and I watched 6 episodes straight - finished the first season and starting the second, while the guys watched basketball (Go Celtics!). Dude, the second season has 18 episodes! All good, since we're averaging 4-6 episodes a night, I'll finish it in 3-4 days. This is kinda tricky cause Nette bought me the new book by Emily Giffin - "Love the One You're With" and it's hecka addicting too!

Wild and Crazy Weekend!

On Saturday I threw my FIRST bachelorette party for my soon-to-be sister-in-law, Rowena. I was worried and nervous for weeks about this party because 1) I wasn't sure if there was going to be enough food, 2) I wasn't sure if there was going to be enough liquor, 3)If the stripper was going to be hot enough, 4) If all 25+ ladies were going to fit in my small living room... and the list goes on and on and on.... and on and on and on.... Boy did I worry for nothing! The party was a success and I received compliments on how fun the party was all night (also on how hot the stripper was ;P)!

Congratulations Wennie!

Birthday Month!

I swear... Since the beginning days of June, I felt like I've gained 50 pounds cause people have been taking me out for my birthday! My birthday month celebration started off with a weekend in Tahoe, celebrating my birth with Nenet who's big day was on the 4th. All we did was cook and eat, and it repeated itself for 3 days straight. The week after that was worse. I felt like I ate out EVERY day of the week: Chevys, Applebees, PF Changs, Asia SF, Butterfly....

Yeah, 50 pounds all right....

Thanks to all of you who treated me out for my birthday.. I'll think of you while I'm on the treadmill.

Some of the yummy things I ate:

Pork Chops - Butterfly

Salmon w/ Forbidden Rice - Asia SF
