Today is the day

We are suppose to get HDTV for the house.Its quite exciting to think that we are going to finally see what we have been missing. The time is 8:30am and still no cable guy ... wonder where the heck he is? Well its been quite an exciting month and the year has barely started so when things really start moving along later this year ... I think I will look back and say dang ... what a year 2005 was and I got to enjoy it all.

New 62" DLP TV

Man what a day on Sunday. We went to look for a wedding present for Lulu from my mom and we ended up shopping at Kohl's and then Costco. My dad saw this really nice 62" Toshiba DLP and he said its perfect for our house. I was like its not cheap but a really good deal for the size and price. So what happens ... we bought the dang thing. Went home to pickup the SUV and then back to Costco we went. Its a real beauty but first we had to move the old 57" upstairs. My god that things was so heavy it was not funny.

It took 5 of use to move it upstairs. We had my uncle Vincent, Vinnie, my other uncle, my dad, and me to move4 it up the stairs. But we got it up after quite a bit of huffing and puffing. Boy the new TV looks nice .. show you some pics later on. Anyways my goodness HD is amazing so I am looking forward to getting HD for the house.

Just Another Change in Plans

Well we did not end up going to Las Vegas this weekend due to the severe thunderstorms we have had this year. Quite amazing especially when you think that several months ago Lake Hodges in Escondido was only 17% full and as of today it was 100% full with water spilling over. Where in the world did all this water come from? RAIN RAIN and more RAIN. Check out some of the pics of all the rain here.

Also Mealani was sick over the weekend so it seemed to be a good idea to not take her to Las Vegas this time as the last time we went she had to go to a doctor up there. I was looking forward to the trip however I hate the long car ride ... I think its like 4.5 to 5 hours by car.

Anyways so I am back at work ... been playing with my new Motorola MPX 220 phone quite a bit. Love the thing, its great but not quite perfect. Maybe the next version will be just right. Even more cool was I sold my Motorola V500 for 150 bucks on ebay. So I pretty much covered the cost of my new phone. Pretty sweet. Ok back to work ...

too cute ... looking forward to my own.

oh look at you ...

There we go some yummy dessert

Another Party

So we are having another party today to celebrate Chinese New Year more. So far the cleaners have come to clean the house. Damn I am tired though, must be getting older and all. I just received a message from Mae, she is coming to pickup Mealani now. So just some family and several co-workers from work will be here. It should be quite fun to just have a little celebration.

I am beat however ... heading to the gym later on and need to pickup Mom's friend. The weather is really dreary however so it would have been nice to have better weather but its ok. Well not too much to write about ... oh hopefully the Blockbuster movies will get here so I can start burning them.

Well if I have anything more to write ... I will be back.

Chinese New Year Eve

Well its the evening before Chinese New Year so the family got together and had a nice dinner. There was some yummy food and good wishes for everyone there. Lets hope the Year of the Rooster is good to us all this year and that everyone has a great future. I know I look forward to our family having a good year.


Ok here we are again ... daddy and Mealani.


Hey look at Mealani's cousin Andre ... YO Dre Dog.


Here she is capturing the center stage once again.


Hey there little cuz.

At Noah's Birthday

Well Mealani was quite busy this last weekend as she had to attend Noah's birthday party. I shot some pics of her acting cute as usual and well I got to watch the Super Bowl so that was good. Anyways here are the pics.


Ok stop with the poses girl. We know your cute.

Into the halls of balls. Watch out boys this girl will kick some ass.


Getting ready for some cake. Where's Nemo?


Ok that's enough 2 birthday parties in one weekend. Your poor daddy is all pooped out.

The day ended with the New England Patriots wopping the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21. The game was rather boring ... not sure why but that was the general consensus though. Anyways looking forward to the next birthday party Mealani will be attending which will be Eva's birthday on March 5. More cute pics of Mealani coming right along.

The Day After the Party

Ok super beat tired today. I went to sleep around midnight after watching the movie "A Man Called Hero." Woke up to talk to Lulu - talking about Mealani's birthday party and all. Went back to sleep after chatting for a little bit. Then I woke up around 10ish to clean up the mess in the backyard. Lots of things left to drink but even more food. Clean up was not too bad but the weather was looking kind of bad with a light sprinkle starting. Well after eating some party leftovers with Mealani and reading the paper, I showered and Jennifer got Mealani ready for Noah's birthday party. Also hope to catch some of the SuperBowl later on today. But still so tired .. however I need to go to the gym so that I can loose some of this weight I must have gained since yesterday.

Oh thanks to Daniel, my family has decided we are having another big party for Chinese New Year so I guess this time I will be asking more people from work to come. I have a feeling that I am going to be tired for the month of February with all the parties and activities going on. I hope by the end of February I will be getting an email with some good news.

Well we got home from Noah's birthday party. It was quite an event ... with Scottso the clown. Well of course Mealani did not like the clown but thats ok later. She later took over the party and had a good time. I was able to watch the SuperBowl so I got to watch the first half there. When we left, Mealani got a goldfish and quite a lot of presents from Noah. We came home and watched the SuperBowl at home. Too bad New England won but did not cover the spread of 7 points. Well there's always next year I guess.
