Today was definitely a chill day.I woke up around 7 30 to head over to Glendale just so I can go back to sleep at 10 and wake up at 12 30.I had practice from 4-6 but it wasn't really a practice, more of a shoot around to prevent any of us from getting hurt since we have a tournament coming up this weekend in Palm Springs.Speaking of Palm Springs, I can't fucking wait! I don't know why but it just seems like its going to be very fun.

After practice, Yanne scooped me up so I can get my membership at Ballys.That shit is cheap man im only going to be paying 20 a month.I couldn't pass up on a deal like that! and plus, ive been wanting to work out ever since I stopped about a month ago because I had no gym to use.I will be in there everyday except weekends from now on.Expect to see me there foreal! After signing up, we waited till Josh got out of work and then we headed out to Ballys in Hollywood.That gym is dope as fuck! Worked out for about an hour and went back home.Now im sitting here on the computer playing MOBSTERS on Myspace! haha how lame is that but its actually isn't all that bad. JOIN MY MOB YOU FUCKERS!

Well, im about to sign off and call it a day.

Hat Dance

bakinbit — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 02:28:02 +0000

This evening little boy insisted I turn on his CD player which has the movie soundtrack from Curious George in it and we danced. We always have to wear hats when we dance. Sometimes little boy decides the hat I'm wearing should be his and we trade.....then we dance and little boy smiles. :-) After one song he also insisted his Daddy come in his room, don a hat and dance. I can image what the neighbors might think if they peered through the window and saw us three dancing in hats....we were all quite silly...especially husband...LOL

Victorious.

higherechelon — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 06:45:30 +0000

VICTORY! We played Harvard-Westlake today and won.They didn't have their full squad but it was still a good win on our part.The score was like 58-54 although our lead was much bigger than that but turnovers,mistakes,and missed free throws allowed them to cut it short.Anyways, it was a good game to take with us going into that tournament in Palm Springs.Im fuckin excited as fuck!

Chilled with Diji and Celena after my game.Were planning on going to San Diego in August for my and Diji's birthday.Some wild shit is about to go down if we actually go through with it.Damn son, im getting more and more excited for my birthday.Im selling some of my shit just so I have money when the time comes around.Hit me up if your interested in some sneakers cause I got some shit to sell.

So hows my week lookin so far?

would make us a dull family! Last night the girls wanted to go swimming after dinner. I told them they could but that if they wanted to help Ryan and I spread mulch they could. They decided they wanted to help us instead. It was super hot outside, just terrible. After we finished mulching we ALL jumped in the pool to cool off. It was just the thing we needed after a couple hours of hard work. It was fun seeing the girls and Ryan splashing, laughing and giggling just having a lot of fun. I even had fun myself. :) It was an evening of great family time - great memories. I love my family so much. I LOVE that we have these fun moments. These times become even more precious when you think of how fast time goes by and how quickly the girls are growing up.

I Put On

higherechelon — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 07:42:08 +0000

So whats been happening with me since the last time I blogged you ask? Not much really.I was really disappointed with the fact that we weren't able to fly out to the Philippines for my uncle's funeral due to some personal reasons.The best we were able to do was to send out money that amounted to about 22,500 Pesos but I figured it was better then not giving at all.Damn it seems like shit has been hitting people lately.I just learned that a friend of mine just lost his father.My condolences to you my friend.Well, I figured i'd look at it this way; "thats one more person thats going to be there looking out for me at all times."

On a brighter note; we (hoover high varsity basketball team) leave for Palm Springs this Friday for a tournament and im pretty damn excited to be honest.I've been teamates with these guys since the 9th grade and have been friends with some of them since elementary school.Some wild shits about to pop off when we get there! Well thats Friday but we still have a few things to take care of before we leave.Speaking of taking care of things, we have a big game against Harvard-Westlake this week and im pumped to play.

Anyways, im going to really try to fill this blog up on a daily basis since I don't sleep until 3-4 in the morning now a days.Goodbye to you and yours!

****EDIT

Watch this video yall! Young Jeezy Feat. Kanye West - I Put On

Kanye West,like what he always does,steals all the shine on this one.He killed it with the hook and his entire verse.Jesus when is this guy going to slow down?!?

Go DJ.....

Winston — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:44:48 +0000

All right all right so I just got done with the best battle I have ever been in so there was this guy done by the pool mix-en it up on the turn tables. He was the sickest DJ I had ever heard I mean I have heard alot of people get down but this guy was hitten it hard. He was beaten it like a drum is was intense. Me and maria and Kelsie Were hyped we were all dancen. I love it I told him I used to DJ he told me I could get on but I was like you are the man I could even go up there after him. It was crazy he had the whole beach pool area dancen. I took so many pics Ill post them up when I get home, I forgot the cord for the camera.

What a long weekend

rdnkln — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:03:32 +0000

Ryan and I were both off of work on Friday since we were not sure when Doris' visitation and funeral would be. We spent the day with the kids, working out in the yard on our "back yard project" from YOU-KNOW-WHAT. Ha ha. It's not really all that bad, it's just the weather is making it not as fun as it could be. Saturday after the funeral we kept ourselves busy working out in the yard and spent most of yesterday doing the same. It seems like a never-ending project.

Kylie fell riding her bike Thursday night. She wasn't looking, of course, and got a bump on her head and elbow. She'll live, though :) . Yesterday Ryan bought Megan a float-y swimsuit and much to my suprise she not only didn't throw a fit about wearing it, but she swam around the pool all by herself in it! I was amazed!!!!

Speaking of the pool, Kylie is really swimming like a fish. She's becoming fearless of the water. It's nice to see her have so much confidence.

A bit of exciting news to a very sad weekend....Megan got into preschool at Plains!!!! We are excited, but scared in the same token. Is she ready? How will she do? She's just not like her sister so Ryan and I are a bit nervous about this. I guess time will tell. Both our babies are off to school this fall! WAHHHHHHHH!

Viva la Mexico

Well I finally took a break from reality and went to my favorite relax place Rocky point it is amazing here. As soon as we pulled up to the condo I ran and jumped on the beach and then into the ocean. I love it here, Im away from the job, school, her, everything. I went boarding and it was amazing. Sorry i could bring ya wess you would be having so much fun some people next door are having party out on the water in there boat so i'm gonna do that in a bit. But I will say i needed something to get my mind off how crappy my life was becoming back home and this was so it. ttfn

Batman...

Winston — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 03:38:39 +0000

Its been a couple day so I wanted to get on and update the world on my adventures. Well me and my new Sidekick Tyler went and saw the new Batman flick on opening night at like midnight. We were meeting some friends there but they had their own plan off action and didn't save us any seats, but that outside of the story board. Me and Tyler found these awesome seat up front and low and behold my old friend from MHS was right behind us. Her name was Lauren Ryan We basically ran our sign Lang class. Tyler saw one of his buddies there too. Oh and my old girl friend Cynthia sat like two rows in front of us. It turned in to one huge reunion thing. OK so let me get back on course here, Batman wow what can I saw beside that is by far the best movie I have ever seen. The joker was better than any villain I have ever seen in any movie, her was terrifying in a sick and twisted way, it was truly amazing. Ya it was so good that i round up a couple of girls i know from ASU and took them to see it fridaynight. well that it for Batman news. chow mien.

Brought Home more than I paid for from Walmart........

bakinbit — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 02:14:42 +0000

As I was unloading my Walmart sacks this afternoon, image my surprise when I find one of these in the sack with my Crystal Lite Pink Lemonade.....

I'm pretty sure this was the kind of spider it was. We think it was dead (newly dead) or playing dead but I took the sack outside and poured it out. I should have gone back and taken a picture (and still may do that if it's still there in the mulch in the morning. I think it was what is called an Orb Spider....harmless but still! I hate spiders almost as much as I hate snakes.....

Weekend ends - Nothing to show for it

bakinbit — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 20:40:05 +0000

Little boy is still taking his nap so I thought I would blog a bit. Friday nights date night went fine. I was not impressed by the upscale outdoor shopping complex but maybe after a few more stores open up it might be worth another visit (or when they open up the Melting Pot restaurant). There were just not too many stores that a 42 year old fatty would enjoy other than Maggie Moo's (an ice cream parlor) and we were too full to even enjoy that and skipped it. The Cantino Laredo restaurant was pretty good. I had a coupon to try their Top Shelf Guacamole which was outstanding. I had to eat the whole thing thought since husband doesn't like it. My pineapple-coconut margarita wasn't too bad either. After dinner we walked through the complex then headed back to our end of town. As we were pulling out of the parking lot I kept hearing this noise like something was wrong with the car but then realized it was fireworks I was hearing. There was some big shindig going on at the space center.. That was funny though that I thought it was my car. We stopped off at another resturant for one more drink then back to the daycare to get little boy. He was still awake and all geared up for more playing and it was hard to get him to bed. I was afraid he'd have a difficult time there since he was very clingy when I dropped him off. I guess it was confusing to leave daycare at 5:00 only to come back at 6:30 and be put in a different room but I guess he must have done okay because he was fine when we got him.

Saturday, me and little boy went to my mom's and he got to swim in the little pool I went and got for him to have at her house. He wanted to bring it home but I told him he had one at home. He really enjoyed swimming and jumping in it.

Today has been pretty slow. I'm just really tired. We have to call brother-in-law tonight to see if we can't get some workers over here on Monday. We have our new cabinets and countertop but no working sink, dishwasher, oven, outlets etc. I am so ready to have these darn contractors out of my house and get my life back to normal!

Date Night

bakinbit — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 19:29:33 +0000

Tonight is Date Night! Last month the daycare came up with this thing where every third Friday night they would stay open from 6:30pm to 10:00 pm so that parents could go out on a date. The cost is $10 per child and they feed and entertain them....perfect. We didn't get to participate last month since husband's office decided to have a cook out but this month I was the first to sign up. I'm really excited about it as you can tell. I even went out and bought a new outfit (reminds me of my clubbing days when I would have to have a new outfit each weekend it seemed). We had originally planned on going down to Bridge Street to visit this upscale shopping community and try out one of the restaurants there but on a Friday night it might be too crowded. It's on the other end of town too so it might be too far for the limited amount of time we'll have. I told husband it was up to him. They don't take reservations at the restaurant we wanted to try but do have a call ahead thing where you can call 30 minutes before you get there. I really hope we go there because I'm dying to try one of their pineapple-coconut margaritas....yum!

Black Kittens

bakinbit — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 15:01:27 +0000

My mom had called me yesterday to tell me that my sister's Siamese mix cat Shoo Shoo had 3 yellow kittens that day. She didn't even know she was pregnant. Now I love me some yellow kittens and have wanted one for awhile. I had actually hoped the batch of kittens my sister had awhile back were yellow but alas they weren't but I got two anyways...

Anyways, last night I had a dream and even though I don't remember all the details it was something about I was at the cash register of Walmart checking out and the lady was telling about how they found two drowned black kittens....then a little black boy came walking in with the two kittens and I was upset not wanting to see dead kittens but then I see these kittens were moving. Don't remember much else except that Roger Federer was there, a soldier, and a famous dirt bike rider were there helping me save these kittens while all the while I was thinking how I didn't need another kitten.

My mom calls me this morning and said that Shoo Shoo had three more kittens (one of which was stillborn) and they were black....weird huh?

Today in the world Of Winston

Winston — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 05:23:46 +0000

Today was very wierd I must say, It was my first day back in school and I was early for class lol I know I know im turning over a new leaf. So the craziest thing happened though the one teacher that I have quite just up and left. It was nuts we sat around and hung out the rest of the day I almost left to go home but they sent in an aid to watch us. My dad got even crazier i went to go buy some stuff with my new debit card so I always check the balance first and there was an extra hundred bucks in there. I was stoked about that so i go to use the card and it doesnt work it wont let me make purchases. My dad though made everything ok He finally got my mac book back out of the lab. I can get back to making all my music and movies. Now I'm just chillen out at the casa. Thinkn aboutthat movie lil shop of horror. I have some wierd urge to watch it, The crap thing is no body has it not hollywood or blockbuster non of my friends. Well thats all for now chow mien.

Rest In Paradise

higherechelon — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:42:33 +0000

How ironic is this? Just last night I was with Joseph and Sheena talking about how I couldn't keep up with writing in my blog everyday because nothing interesting happens to me on a daily basis.All of a sudden I get a call the next morning from my mom's sister in the Philippines telling me that her brother had just passed away in the morning due to a heart attack.I just can't believe it.He used to take care of me and take me to places when I was living in the Philippines.I honestly don't remember too much of him but I remember enough to mourn.I honestly shed a tear when my aunt told me about the tragic news.Hopefully we can buy some plane tickets and fly to the Philippines for his funeral service.

I've always wanted to go back home to the motherland but never for a funeral service.

Yucko!

bakinbit — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:42:29 +0000

About a month ago and suggested that my office have a day where we all go out to eat at out favorite mexican resturant and I called it Taco Tuesday and we'd do it the first tuesday of every month. Well the first Tuesday I had a meeting then the next one several people were off so we decided to go yesterday. We were up in the air about realy which mexican resturant to go to but ended up at the old stand by. We ended up leaving a few people because they were in a meeting and then a couple were TDY but we were determined to go anyways. So me and my two friends named Kathy headed off to Rosie's. I decided to try something a little different. I've been craving chicken fajitas or chicken anything so I ordered the chicken fajita supreme nachos...yummy. The waitress comes and puts the plates down and as I look down to select a nacho to eat I notice..............a black/brown hair! Yuck! The waitress came back by and I politely told her there is a hair on my nacho. She agreed that was gross, apologized and quickly took my plate away. Later the manager came by and apologized and said they would get me a new plate and he did personally bring it to me and apologized again and said they'd take care of the nachos. Heck I was fine...just hungry. Thankfully I didn't stare at the plate long enough to gross out so I was happy with a fresh plate. When the check came I only had to pay for my tea....cool. Although my lunch companions thought it was tacky I had to pay for the tea but I didn't care...that was a good cheap lunch and the nachos were delicious..

I've sent food back before whether there is a hair, a bug or it's not cooked right and I'm always polite about it. I hope that helps because I have heard it makes them mad sometimes when people do that but I think it's just people who are rude about it. I know mistakes are made and yeah hair sometimes floats off peoples heads or a bug might fly in..that happens at home no matter how clean you keep your kitchen. No telling what kind of matter we end up digesting each day.....

I might want to reconsider the Fajita Supreme Nachos when I order from there again though. The very first time we ate at this chain (several years ago) and when it first opened. We had a big group at our table and I ordered these nachos and when they brought my plate.....a fly had landed on the plate before they put in broiler....and he was cooked on. I mean I don't mind a little extra protein but that was a little much...LOL

The next Peyton Manning?

bakinbit — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:11:22 +0000

Little boy has become quite good at throwing balls these days. When he first learned to throw the ball kinda went straight up in the air and backwards but he has really gotten the hang of it. I think we have a little football player on our hands. We had dreamed of him becoming a great tennis star but that may take a year or two for that talent to emerge. For now...throwing and kicking the ball is his game. He also loves it when we throw the football on the roof and let it roll back down. Why that is funny I do not know.

Wiped out........

bakinbit — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 02:35:54 +0000

We are wiped out! The week hasn't started out very well but I am optimistic. I thought the cabinet guy would call and say he'll be over this afternoon but no such luck. Supposedly he had equipment problems and was not able to finish...he was suppose to call back this afternoon but didn't so Husband and I are up in the air about who'll take off work and when to call the other contractors who still need to do some work to my new kitchen. Then I get a call from my former classmate and chairperson to the reunion committee saying her teenage son had been in a serious auto accident. We'd been planning a meeting here soon and she needed to delay it...of course we can! Then as the afternoon progresses I start to read some of the results from my professional club's first survey that I sent out last week. I'm not surprised by the results so far but that's all I thought about all afternoon. Wondering how will we fix these problems and make people happy. I realize though that we are not going to be able to please everyone and that I should just do the best that I can. Then about 2:00 my mom calls and tells me that my uncle has been admitted to the hospital for emergency surgery on his back and it is pretty bad. He lives in Arkansas. The surgery was at 3 and of course that had me worried the rest of the afternoon. Thankfully when my mom called again this evening everything looked promising and I can only pray it stays that way.

The day wasn't a total washout. What made me smile today? When I arrived home my QVC shipment had arrived with my new Lock and Lock plastic ware (I'm a plastic container nerd) which made me happy then when I went online today I visited Classmates and saw where a guy friend of mine from school looked at my profile. I'll have to say that did make me smile because we had not been able to locate him for the reunion and although I didn't realize it till years later....I think I had a crush on him way back then.....He's married too now (I think he's still married) and last I heard was in Texas but still it was fun thinking back to those days again.

bakinbit — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 13:50:10 +0000

That's how I'm feeling today. I actually wore a dress today and I feel like it's a moo moo dress. I'm kinda in between sizes so it fits me on parts of my body and hangs on others....oh well at least I'll be cool when I go outside.

Speaking of moo moo's, little boy decided to play with his little people's farm yesterday. First time he's even looked at in since we got it. He had to have all the cows lined up in their fence and the lady farmer drove the tractor (backwards) and kept a close watch over them. When it was time to eat he threw a fit for me to come back upstairs and play farm with him and when I refused he went upstairs and brought the cows, the fence, the farmer lady and the tractor downstairs.

Overall it was a pretty low key day...just playin farm, napping and I did some scrapping (yeah!). It was suppose to rain all day but instead it just rain a short period of time then remained hot and sticky all day. A good day to stay instead.

About me and my friends.......

Winston — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 08:42:57 +0000

Lalalalalalla What I can I say about me besides I'm the best.

I'm am really the best I'm a very open person for the most part. If you wanna know something ill tell unless I dont want to. I'm going to Asu in the fall go Devils. I play hockey Its my favorite sport Ive play since I was. I'm good at pretty much every thing Ive every done. I love music its my life i used to be in a band call Truth but I had to quite, actually they kicked me out cuz i was becoming preMadonna. I look life like one big board game you nice role the dice and land on some that suck but over time everybody hits the jackpot and wins. My friends pretty much rock harder than Mt. Everest.

These are my two buddies Brandon and Mickie D. Ive known them since like forever. We party hard and cause trouble like there's no tomorrow we don't care we do what we do Team Legit for life.

Next is basically like my lil brother hes almost always with me. I call him part of the fam. He Weston, walks to the beat of a way different drum.

Beans what can I say he's beans.

Terrin love of my life OK not really but we are really good friends. Haha that one time at band camp oh god i bet you you forgot about that didn't you. lol Thanks for being one of the only people to buy my solo CD with my number 1billion hit song. I'm gonna miss you have fun in Seattle.

This one on the left is of my lil sis Carlee aka Rocket. She pretty much rocks just as hard as I do. Ill do anything to protect her so mess with her and ill have you killed so there. You can put that in you pipe and smoke it.

The Smartest girl I know would have to be Tana. She's not only smart but fun to hang out with over the past year ive gotten to know here pretty good and I must say she rocks my socks.

She's the one stop party shop If something fun is going on it probally revolves around her. And If rock band come into to play do mess with her it could mean life or death, you life that is cuz mess her up and she will murder you.

Michelle she is possible my fest friend in the world today, but who knows about tommorrow lol jk i love her. We know everything about each other and I can tell her anything even about the one thing that happened that one time at that one place. lol

Steph i love you too how could I not your the only person I know who has like everything from the Jonas bros. Plus there the fact that you pretty cute and have a sweet car.

Nikki And Tessa their pretty cool. They keep me laughing both are cool kids know how to have fun. There not very serious which is always chill there just down to hang with the crew and chillax.

Carly, my number one my best friend. I tell you everything. I love you more than anybody I know. You keep me well entertained. It sucks that you moved so far away but I think were much closer now. Hopefully Ill see you soon so that we can hang out.

So for the most part every one in my life I would take a bullet for. cuz if you have found a way to be my friend with all the crazy stuff that I have going on im my life you must be pretty frieken awesome.

Party People...

Winston — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 08:16:34 +0000

So yesterday was Tana's party it was fun. There were tons of people there like I mean Tons. We dance to some pretty sweet music I must say she got so awesome gifts. There was a bit of awkward tension in the air around me but I'm pretty sure I know why and it totally my own fault not going there. I can say thought that Iwas getting a bad vibe about being going there. OK so i notice thing that most people don't. So everytime Ihave ever gone over to Tana's house i get green lights all the way there no stopping. That time all red every single one of them 12 to be exact. and if you know any thing about me Ihate that number it my unlucky number everything bad that has ever happened in my life has happened on that day. Wow now that Ithink of it the party was on the 12th. Any way Tana had fun and that's pretty much all that matters. Later that night though I got pretty angry not gonna lie i was more or less pissed to whole new level. so I just left it wasn't really any thing in particular but a bunch of things. There was one person that I wanted to unload on but that off topic. Any way so I left and hung out with some other friends. Well i can really call them friend cuz I basically hate them and being pissed of all ready didn't help there case.I don't know. I think i just need to take a break from all the peeps and just do me for a while. well that is for know chow mien.
