Domination !

Its Official.. we're the favorite to win the Gold Division ! after another amazing performance that we put on (USO Warriors) its clear in my mind that our team is the favorite to win the Gold Division. The top Division in the Las Vegas Asian Basketball League. everyone was talking about todays game in the websites forum as a "test" game for us. how did we respond to the "test" ? we won.. 99-66.. we were going to go for 100 but the refs called the game with 3 minutes left. We'll get it next time. i finished with 15 pts and some boards but the real stars of the game were our guards. starting with Justin a.k.a Baby J he hit our first 10 pts and and that set the tone for the team then it was James who continued our strong play then John. Va played solid in the post dominating the competitions big men. o yea I forgot to mention we only played with 6 players cause some of our team was out of town for the hollidays.. scary to think what we have done if we had all our players.. We're now 5-1 and clicking well as a team ! I love playing on this team because we're an actual "team" people know what their jobs are and they do it ! for some of you that have seen me play on other teams I play for I shoot about 15-18 times a game score abut 25-20 pts but we lose.. yea thats not fun.. I'd rather be doing what Im doing now shoot 8-10 times a game get 15-18 pts and be balance scoring with team mates and get the huge win !!

..some tournaments are coming up in Arizona and in Delano, here we come..

Infatuation Chocolate sweetness..

"Things happen in life for a reason" a quote that I've believed in more and more as a grow within myself and around everyone else around me. There's this girly and for the first time in a long time I playing the "chase" game.. Cant say yet just who she is but for those closer to me.. you already know ha !

First off lemme just say I've been tryna take this chick out for a while and I still haven't.. why Im still waiting ? I don't know why.. I guess Im in it to find out..

Last night we were texting each other and and it began with her asking me if I liked chocolate.. quickly I replied yes of course ! She responds by saying "u should take me to ethel m chocolate factory. Get hot cocoa and truffles" Of course i reply with "I can do that.. its just on finding you @ a good time" and then.. she hits me with "THE LINE"..

She: "I know.. but I know ull wait for me."

Me: "sound a little confident there.. how you figure I'm waiting"

She: "Because your still around. and.. haha even though you forgot who I was the second time around. u were still diggin' without realizing it"

I thought to myself I'm I diggin on this chick that much that I'm waiting here ? we'll find out soon enough.. that cup of cocoa sounds good right about now !!

Light 34 n' 12

Why 34 and 12 ?

this stated on a Monday afternoon.. Dom, Omar and I when to go play ball @ the rec.. to cut the long story short.. I guess Dom or Omar had told Lexx that "Dom smashed on me" ..how did she know ? well that you'll have to ask her. But she did bring it up randomly on aim.. "Haha I replied.. yea we'll just leave it at that"

Inside though It pissed me off.. what happened next is something regular.. I ran the Point Guard spot for our Wednesday game, but all through our the game all that was in my head was.. "Dom smashed on me" ..how did I respond to it ? I dropped 34 points and 12 assists.. ref kept count the whole game.. ask about him !! as for "Dom smashed on me" ..let's see it happen.


Today though we I got 2 games

@ 3 with Video Sonic
@ 4 with USO Warriors

Here we go again.. gametime !

Circa. 2002

Last night was truly a blessing, its not often I get to see my friends nor even go out and hang out for that matter. I know this time in my life is a test for me and friendships I have built around, to see who's going to be there still after a long time of silence among friends. The truth is I really havent had time for anything just the basketball which I talk about so often on here and work. There's a handful of people I can say I lay my complete trust on and for that I would like to say thank you to them ! ..they know who they are.

This here is a picture of my best friends when we were seniors in high school.

from left to right: its Eel, Drew, Hota, Adnap, M gar, Dill

For the past 8 years we've been through alot as most friendships go you think of it we've probably done it intense times gloomy times wierd times yes everything.

Some of us have grown apart though the years but most of us have managed to stay intact and find ways to see one another here's a quick glimpse on word on how all of us were and what we are now..

Eel - In high school he was a basketball player he was one that dint really like being in the big crowds and kept more to himself and the ones he trusted. Ladies loved him and he was a DL you know.. haha.. Now Eel lives in Utah with his dad, he got a little bit involved more with drugs but thats ok as long as the Eel we know is still the same Eel around us.

Drew - Drew was a "husler" in high school he was selling bapes and all that way before the were getting all hyped up and all that, he was on the basketball team too along with Eel and myself. Drew now works at now at Tao as a server making tons of money doing to by the way haha. He is currently dating someone and still lives in Vegas

Hota - He was the man in HS, there were 4 schools around our area and eeeeeevvvery one knew about him and the wild parties he would throw, it was kind of crazy how popular he was he had people kissing his ass all the time it was funny !! He currently lives in Arizona and is going to school out there.

M Gar - Gar was most responsible and stubornest out of all of us. In high school he dated his HS sweetheart and was constantly in the A's and B's list. Sleepin' over his house on the weekends with the fellas were the best. He currently now works at D&G and is currently dating his I maybe think maybe future wife.. they just work well together ya know ?

"The Crew" circa. 2002

I miss you guys !

2 W's, early wake up call

Got up early this morning.. up around 8 a.m went for a quick jog around the block then to the rec for a little shoot around with Coach P. and some drills.

Had 2 games yesterday one at noon with USO Warriors and another at 4 with Video Sonic. First game I dint play cause I was still under the weather, All good though we coasted through the game and we won convincingly !! I love this team ! We have a good chance of winning it all in this Gold Division. Sat around the gym waiting till 4 for my next game and right before tip off of my second game I ran into Ariel a.k.a Tyra Banks a.k.a Lo's female (hands of gentlemen).. She was there for Tahitian dancing.. I guess thats the newness ? I think Ive heard a couple more people say that they were getting into Tahitian dancing as well.

I still dint feel well come tip off time for the second game, the guys wanted me to start the game but I insisted that I come off the bench (I really felt like shit). Game started off slow and we were playing a team that was undefeated (Iconz) They led the whole game.. we finally took the lead about 2:13 left in the game and never relinquished the lead and we got out with a win. Afterward I went to dinner with the team(Video Sonic) and Noodles haha. it was funny cause Panda Express has a bag of noodles there simply named "noodles" lol they we're making fun of him about it the whole night ..all good though.

Oh yea and one final thought.. How bout that boy Manny P. !!

I want that Nike tee "Pacman knows!"

Streets is clear..

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Its one thing to have a huge fight.. this Pacquiao fight takes huge fights to another level. Oscar De la Hoya regarded as the biggest draw in boxing set the record for PPV orders and gate sales in his split decision bout vs Floyd Mayweather

I received an email from my cousin yesterday and he told me about all the movie theatres in the Philippines being sold out to watch the fight for 500 pesos a ticket($10).. usually tickets in the Philippines go for 100 pesos at most. For those of you that have never experienced Manila traffic.. that shit is a DRAG literally ! When Manny Pacquiao fights, the whole country stands still. I asked my cousin to take pictures of the streets so I can share here the marvel known as Manny Pacquiao.

Im sure everyone here will be at some kind of "Pacquiao De la Hoya fight party" tomorrow.

..Let the madness begin.

Beetle

As a huge Howard Stern fan I was upset when his show left E and made its way to PPV and Sirius radio. It just fun to watch his shows its the most random things you'll see. One of my favorites on the show was his guest "Beetlejuice", Bettlejuice is one of those special cases of a human being.. yes.. I know its mean to make fun of "lesser minded people, but by watching it on Howard Stern I forgive myself because Im not the only one who thinks it would be funny to make fun of the special ed kid haha.. and to show you what I mean here are some video's of Beetlejuice himself

enjoy..

Tom Shiasanos who is one of the producers of the show prank calls Beetlejuice, sounds pretty simple right ? well Tom is calling him from the same room and is not even on a phone, hes in the background echoing his voice to Beetle lmao.


This next one has Beetlejuice in the back of a car with a gay "small person" that producers os the show had setup for him lmao. just watch !!


ahhh and finally a tribute to Beetle !!

Basketball and Guadalupe on the side

Sunday.. ahhh what a beautiful and random day that turned out to be..

Started off with my game on Sunday and what a great feeling it was to play with a "team" the more I play with the 4 other teams I currently play for the more excited Im to finally drop the Roc Boys team. They're my friends and all that but I like winning just a little more at this point. Lexx and Daff came to the game had no clue what time they got to the game so I dint want to ask them to critique how I played overall in the game. After reading the stat sheet at the scorers table after the game, the score keeper says "you were the high scorer.. 26 pts" decent game could've definitely done better.

After the game everyone was giving props and more offers to play on their teams came my way, but one offer stood out more than the others.. the team called Jumpmen made an offer to play with them, Its something I'm thinking about because they pay their players and they have former PBA players on their team (ching ching). Also after that one of the scouts from the pro leagues were there and caught up with me since I havent seen him in 2 years and said if I was still interested in playing pro back home.. its definitely intriguing ! Im excited that Im still able to play this game and people to take notice of what I do, Im working hard to get to where I once was and get to a level Ive never touched before.

Thank you to the to lovely girlies that came to watch and be so patient after the game DAFF and LEXX thank you ! I really appreciate it ! (it took me so long and they were waiting cause other people were asking me to join their team, THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING SO PATIENT!)

after leaving the Y we went on to go eat at Canes !!! absolutely amazing ! best chicken in vegas for sure !!! this gave me a chance to catch up with Lexx since I see the chick very seldom these days. I thought it was pretty funny that we had a conversation about Roscoe's in a chicken place hahaha.

Afterward we went over to smokin' aces tatoo on vegas blvd and siverado ranch to see Jenn and give her morale support in getting her new tattoo !!

First and foremost lemme just point out that she is a G for having the nerve to get it on her rib area ! thats one of the more painful areas to get a tat and she did it ! mad props to her !!! On a funnier note she was like a duck in a pond her body and everything were fine and she was still but when you looked at her feet.. those were churning quick lmao !! good job though Jenn !!

One final note the boys cheese and mushroom.. whoa whoa wait I mean "ochedda" and Dom have a new blog to update everyone on their musical ventures.. if your not doing anything show the family some love and peep their steez !! (link below)
