Heatwave in SF

It's funny how people all of a sudden feel a few days of 80+ degree weather here in the bay and they consider it a "heatwave." I guess it's nothing new coming from someone who grew up in the Philippines, raised in Sacramento, and lived out in the midwest for a little bit. Yeah I've been through a lot worse but it's all perspective really. I think I got spoiled by all the natural air conditioning here in SF (ie open the window and it's now 65 degrees inside).

I just finished watching You, Me, and Dupree - a really good movie I might add. I think it was done well, and I think the whole Owen Wilson / Matt Dillon combo worked. It's funny to see how movies portray marriage being so sacred and something you fight to keep alive, yet in real life the actors and actresses who play the characters are married/divorced within a few months. Ironic. Maybe if more people lived like the ideals shown in romantic comedy movies, maybe things would be better. Don't you think?

Anyways, life's been pretty good otherwise. I don't really have much reason to blog now except for my very own amusement. I know no one reads my shit anyways. Who cares? Why spend time writing this crap when I could be out there living it. Speaking of which, I'm gonna go enjoy this so called "heatwave" now.

I need to start blogging again

So I figured since almost another year has flown by since my last blog, I'd really like to get back and start doing it more often. With everything that's gone on and is happening in my life right now, I think a few paragraphs here and there would be good enough.

New things:

I now work for the biggest healthcare provider in the US. I can't mention the name but it rhymes with Baiser Fermanente. I probably already mentioned that in a previous blog, but I don't remember since it's been so long.

I am addicted to YouTube.com. My most recent video find is this masterpiece. You'll find it quite amusing.

I was back in Sacramento for about 4 months for work. I gained a lot of weight, stopped going to the gym, and still happily married. I'm trying to get back in shape, but seriously...the effort's not there.

Ok that's all for now. Good night

Ok...So I'm not the most frequent blogger.

There has been a hell of a lot of things going on in my life, but I guess that's not an excuse as to why I can't take 5 minutes out of my day to sit and blog a little.

Where to start where to start...

I got another job based in Oakland so I'll be moving down to the bay area later this month.

I've been going to the gym pretty frequently. No, I'm not on roids.

Last book I read was one my wife picked up called, "The Five Temptations of a CEO" by Patrick Lencioni. It's a good book. A short read.

I got my windshield replaced by Safelite. They did a great job. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a windshield replaced and loves mobile service.

I've been totally preoccupied playing and messing with my PSP.

The birthdays of the two most important women in my life are in the same month. Happy birthday to my mom and to my wife.

I can't wait for the NFL season to begin.

Annual Update

I've been here at Comtek for 6 months now. I love what I do, but unfortunately when a company has a tight budget, love is not enough to pay bills and save up for a house. I could stay, get a title increase and keep waiting for that raise, but sometimes change is just good. So yesterday, I interviewed with Kaiser for their new HealthConnect project. It went well. I'm pretty sure I got it. I'll let you know if I'll be leaving Comtek pretty soon.

Wedding Bliss

Ok...I'm sure you've already read VooDoo and MightyMom's version of my wedding. I'm laying here sick as a dog and not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. I wish the honeymoon lasted at least 2 months.

No Title

My birthday passed a few weeks ago. It was on the 8th. It fell on a Monday. A lot of times I've said I didn't want to make a big deal about it. I worked that day and my brothers took me out for a few shots of saki and sushi for dinner. I got the best pair of jeans I ever owned from VooDoo and my brother gave me an electric shaver. I was happy. Seriously though, that day came and went so quickly that I was kind of sad that not a lot of people even remembered it or offered to celebrate it with me somehow. I guess that day was just over shadowed by all the wedding stuff going on. Oh well. It's done now. I still wish I can take a piece of that day back, maybe to blow out a candle on a cup cake or something. Just a little piece of childhood back.

Thanks and No Thanks

I'm not going to write about the groups of friends/family and their intentions during our (me and ms. voodoo) wedding. She did enough of that on her blog. I would like to say something about family who forget what the event is about and stir up unnecessary drama because of certain people not being invited. This is to you:

You are lucky you were even invited. It is a privilege not a right. When we sent YOU an invitation, do NOT assume everyone else got one and DON'T go around asking if EVERYONE else got theirs. Are you in the 4th grade? If you've already been through several weddings, you SHOULD know that these things cost a lot of money. DON'T assume we have that kind of money to spend. Believe me, if it were REALLY up to us, we would've been on a plane to Hawaii with only members of our own families. Is that being greedy? No. It's our fucking day. We chose to share it with other families and friends because we're good like that. Can we share it with everyone? No. Would we like to? Yes. Now that we see how you really are...NO.

So to all of you who have helped us during these times and especially those friends and family members who have helped Ms. VooDoo tremendously...a big THANK YOU. We will be there for you through all your good and bad times as well. For those who have caused nothing but drama and in turn gave no additional help to our situation...don't bother to come if that's how you'll be. We are trying to start a lifetime of happiness together with the support of friends and family. We don't need your drama to mess that all up. So unless you have something to contribute, don't make things any harder for us. Don't make things more troublesome. If you don't want to come, don't RSVP and we'll gladly give your space to people who truly deserve it. Seriously. It's not about you anyways. It's about us.
