Today's Almost Over's Agenda
Happy 56th Birthday Father aka Dad aka Puti aka Big Mo aka Moises! We love you and we miss you. I can't believe how time flies. Weird - as I was cleaning my room for my move, I noticed a pic of you and me. I think I was around 3 or 4 holding your hand in front of some old ass car. Gosh. Sometimes, I still can't believe you are not around. It's been 6 years since we've celebrated your birthday here on Planet Earth. Hopefully, Dude from up above is treating you well. Sorry for not visiting you at the cemetery, as much. I know our busy schedules is no excuse. I've still been meaning to get some good fertilizer for your grave since the grass isn't as green like I'd like it to be. I hope them darn deers aren't pooping near you. Tito Steve actually called me yesterday to arrange a day for all of us to see you. As much as we'd like to have seen you today, your actual birthday, work of course got in the way. Plus, you know the cemetery gates close at 5pm. We'll see you this Sunday though for sure! I'm sure you'll hear our loud asses greeting you, reminiscing and just kickin back. The weather should be nice so you definitely won't hear us complaining and saying..."OK dad, it's hella windy and cold, gotta go! Love you!" LOL! I know it can be messed up but seriously, you'd be cold too! You're on a hill and the darn cemetery people cut down the trees. Therefore, we have no more wind blockers! LOL! Anyway, your grandkids are getting so big, dad. They are all doing great. EJ is going to be 10! Yikes! So what treat would you like when we see you this Sunday? Is it Mentos? Is it Rolos? Starburst? Or wait - I know!! I'll definitely bring you a piece sliver of Sara Lee pound cake. Frozen - just the way you always liked it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I LOVE YOU!
Sincerely,
Beb (#2 out of your 6 daughters)
I Am Ready For Some Football!

Good-Bye East Bay!!
It's official. I'm moving once AGAIN! After weeks of hunting for the right place, I've found my home. Watch out Foster City because here I come! Sorry San Mateo. You gave me no choice. Your rentals were either located in a bad geographic area (i.e. right next the freeway), overpriced, had mean/crazy landlords, really old, or just had a small living space. I told myself 4-5 years ago that I would never live back in Foster City. For one, the cops there suck! I always ended up getting pulled over for stupid crap so they can meet their monthly quota. Second, everything just seemed so out of the way like the freeway.
When my family and I viewed this particular apartment community, we fell in love right away. The leasing consultant dude was super nice and friendly. There is a large swimming pool, jacuzzi, and fitness center. A washer/dryer is included INSIDE the unit. There's a loft on the 2nd level of the apartment. The jogging trail or shall I say the levee is literally steps away from the parking lot - YES! Best of all, it's located in a very peaceful neighborhood with a small lake surrounding the apartment complex. My potential room has a partial water view if that means anything to you. It just seemed perfect! It's also very family oriented with a bunch of neighborhood parks and playgrounds to choose from. It's just so serene. Moving day is just around the corner - this coming Saturday. I'm dreading the whole packing part. I haven't even started which sucks. The United States Postal Service must be thrilled that I'm moving once again. ANOTHER Change of Address, please! What a hassle. Let's see my track record at a glance:
Daly City to San Mateo
San Mateo to San Mateo
San Mateo to San Leandro
San Leandro to Foster City
Foster City to San Mateo
San Mateo to San Mateo (Again)
San Mateo to Hayward
Hayward to Foster City
Can you tell I love living in San Mateo?

2.) my trust should not be earned easily
3.) there are still alot of liars in my life
4.) sometimes people will never learn
5.) to be less forgiving and be more forgetful
6.) '3 Strikes' rule should be eliminated from now on
7.) my mistakes have been more and more challenging
8.) it's harder than it seems
9.) what hurts me will only make me meaner
10.) stressin about this is not even worth it, so i'm moving on...
Nike+ Human Race 10K Results
Basically, I sucked! Here are my race result:
Standing (subject to change) = 26,724th Time = 1:20'58"The Nike+ race winner is from United States with a fabulous 27'38" finishing time. As for the actual race city 10K, some dude named Gunther from Munich took 1st place with a time of 29'25". Both these times definitely put me to shame. Good job everyone and also to me!
