2009 My Life Year in Review

January
First thing that popped in my mind in January was New Year’s Eve. Jay and Cienna invited their friends to come out at Ibiza and celebrate VIP status. VIP status + having a rich friend in Jay and buying non-stop drinks =FUN. Ask Ces, he knows all about fun that night. It’s not all his fault though. We blame it on the girls or girl should I say that kept them coming and wasting them. Sure enough Ces, Dan and I, but mostly Ces tried not to let them go to waste. Suge Knight was also working part-time at Ibiza as a bouncer that night and Vanilla Iced him out the club. Ces ended his night with beautiful women taking care of him at Cienna’s apartment that night. He won that night. Overall FUN NIGHT!! It’s kind of hard to top that one. Oh yah! We still don’t remember how we got home that night??? Well I don’t at least.

February
When I think of February, I think of Valentine’s Day. Had Mel to spend it with and it was also her birthday month. Snow is another thing that took over my life this month. We had one of the worst managers ever at work and she forced Cess and I had to go to work when the conditions were horrible. I didn’t really get a snow day. Street Fighter IV came out and I thought I was pretty good until I played against Junior and Ces. It ended my SF4 career quickly.

March
It was a tough next 2 months for me and the people close to me. It was an emotional roller coaster for me and the people close to me.
I think I was still taking Anatomy and Physiology 2 this month. I just remember I was so busy and stressed out because of this class. I’d never want to relive AnP anytime soon. My grandma broke her leg and got really sick because she got pneumonia at the same time. Luckily she pulled through. Uncle Frank (Mel’s Dad) got really sick and was in a couple of hospitals for a long time. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it. His funeral was in April 3rd. Don’t really want to go into details because it brings back really sad memories. RIP. It was tough.

April
April was also when 15 dudes went on an epic trip to Las Vegas for Harvey’s bachelor party. It was LEGEND..wait for it..DARY!! Fifteen close friends in the Sin City is no easy feat. Thanks Harvey for getting engaged and thanks to Ben for planning this and making us all broke, but it was worth it. VEGAS WHOOOOO!!!!!
It is also the month of both of my brother’s Mike and Kevin’s birthday and I think I switched back to the Blackberry. Blackberry 8900 to be exact.
Garsha got married this month as well I think..did he meet the girl this month too? JK wokawakwaka. I love you Garsh!

May
Not a bad month. Team Oak Harbor won its 4th PBL championship. It was probably my most favorite championship because we were the last seeded team and we won. We have a video of it too and Dan never lets us watch it because it was too good

Percy visits Seattle and enjoys The War Room. RIP. Marvin’s cousin also visits from San Diego. We take them both to Vancouver, Canada where we had an overnight stay and one of the biggest FAIL ever. Not getting into a club. So sad. The Hotel was one of the nicest hotel’s I’ve stayed in though.
I also failed in my burger challenge that I blogged about. That was really sad.

June
Joey left us and decided he wanted to go to grad school in Cali. To ease the departure of Joey, the Chicago Bulls with the first pick select Derrick Rose from Memphis.
EDIT: Im stupid..derrick Rose was drafted last year. I meant Taj Gibson.LOLS

July
Spent 4th of July at Mel’s apartment. Dan got skinny for the half marathon and Junior got more sexier for it. I was jealous.

August
Dan, Ces, Chris, Marvin and I all decide to go on a trip to San Francisco. It was my first trip with Marvin in it. It was awesome because we did the tourist stuff and ate waaay too much. We really loved Japan Town and couldn’t get enough of it. We met up with Joey and his cousin as well to show us the night life. We experienced some chick causing a scene outside the club with fire trucks and the whole nine. Some people shouldn’t drink. Or at least get better friends that will take care of you.
Harvey and Mayen’ wedding. We had a blast at the reception. Again, one of the funnest weddings I have ever been to. Thanks for the tickets for the drinks, those were awesome. I can’t wait for Jerry’s wedding.

September
Back To Our Roots Camping Trip!! One of the funnest camp trip I have ever been on. Majority of the dudes made it. We got fat. I can’t wait to do it again next year.

October
Live Fantasy Basketball Draft held at Solara. We all wore Jersey’s to the event which made the draft that much more fun. Using the pool balls as lottery balls was a GREAT idea and the food was awesome.

Hawaii WHOOOO!!!! Thanks Dan for making it happen!! This trip was one of the best vacations ever. I so want to go back again. They ain’t like when they say you won’t want to go back home. The beaches, the food and the weather were awesome. I just wished that we swam at North Shore longer. Deeennnng….All insert here Everything…That’s whatsup…were the phrases we used the whole trip. Negatives about the trip are I left my Tag watch, but got it back and I lost my Canon Xsi. Sadtimes. It did teach me a lesson though.

Hova concert!!! Best concert ever!! I rapped along and pretend I knew all the lyrics. I lost my voice and I wilded out.

Halloween at The War Room. Last minute costume was eeehh, but I had to add this because it was the last time I went to The War Room before they closed down.

November
Blackberry Bold 9700 for everyone and this is the birth of the now infamous BBM CHAT! So sad for those who don’t own a Blackberry because we probably talking shit about you!!
Thanksgiving…only my favorite holiday ever!! Got so fat that I could sell a blank disc. *inside joke*

Bought me my Nikon D90 for a great Black Friday deal at Aafes.com

December
So Far this month I am broke because of Christmas presents. Joey came back for a vacation. Started playing a lot of ball again. Were in a new league called AABL and so far we are 2-0. Dan’s, Matt and Marvin’s bday. Looking forward to Christmas and spending time with my fam bam!

Fresh Prince of Bel Air Reunion

December 10, 2009 paul 2 comments

Everybody is moving on except Will. Will feels terrible about his life. He doesn’t want to move with Philip and Vivian. He has no place to move to and is not finished with college yet. He lies to his family so they don’t worry about him. The truth finally comes out. The family feels bad about teasing Will.

The two-part series finale comes to a close when Hilary and Ashley move to New York, Hilary for her talk show and Ashley for her ad role and her education. Carlton is going to Princeton, and Philip, Vivian, and Nicky are moving out east. After Will can’t find an apartment, he confesses that he lied and that he needs help. George and Louise Jefferson come to look at the Bank’s house. Will manages to convince them to buy it, and they insist on moving in by Memorial Day because of something Will told them. Phil helps Will find a place to live, and, as the family packs up and leaves to go their various ways, they all say their farewells. So comes an end to the reign of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Summaries above taken from
Tv.com 

Pcanda’s Fresh Prince of Bel Air Reunion 10 yrs later…..

 

Carlton

Carlton getting married is what sets this reunion. Carlton graduated from Princeton med school and he just finished his residency in University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center, a Top 5 Hospital in the country.  LA Med Center is where he met his fiancee who is caucasian (Della).  He first laid eyes on Della while they were walking to rounds and she was singing to herself a Tom Jones song and also one of Carltons favorites It’s Not Unusual. (Flashback scenes). Carlton proposed to Della last year and decides to get married where it all started, at Bel Air.   

Hillary

Hillary flies back home from NewYork City. She is filthy rich because of her very popular national talk show It’s Hillary.  Hillary is still not married but has a long time boyfriend name Stedmoon (Oprah joke) and a daughter out of wedlock with Stedmoon. Hillary decided that she will never again be married because of the incident/accident that happened to Trevor, her ex-fiancee who bungee jumped to his death. Hillary’s daughter name is Paris and she is a spoiled brat just like how Hillary was when she was younger. Paris acts like the little spoiled girls we all hate in tv shows and even in real life. Hillary is getting a taste of her own medicine, but Stedmoon seems to always give in with Paris and gives her everything she wants.

 

Ashley

Ashley graduated from Harvard and also flies out from New York. Ashley is a successful model,singer and actress and right now has a hit single Daydreamin’ Stay scheming Ft. Drake and Lil’ Wayne. Shes in a successful tv show called Manhattan and has modeled for Ralph Lauren and Louis Vuiton. She has a boyfriend but stayed in New York, who is a loser and is an aspiring Rapper. He milks off Ashley’s fame and is not good to her, but for some reason Ashley doesn’t want to break it off and loves him. You know these types of relationships.

Nicky

Lil’ Nicky is not so little anymore. He is currently in high school in New York and his an athlete. He’s very tall and has an athletic build and plays 4 different sports and is receiving scholarships from top colleges to play basketball, football, lacrosse, and baseball. He enjoys playing basketball the most so he will be announcing that he will accept a scholarship to play basketball, but he doesn’t know which college. Nicky’s very popular in school. He idolized his cousin Will and he has the same steez, swagger and mannerism as Will. He is also a ladies man and can charm with the best of them. Just like his cousin Will.

Will

William Smith. He still lives in Bel-Air with his longtime girlfriend Lisa who both are still undecided about marriage. Will went to college in UCLA and is now one of the best and sought after lawyer in California (foreshadowing). Will didn’t know what to do when the Banks left Bel-Air but his mom and Philip/Vivian consulted him of continuing his education at UCLA(Flashback) He pretty much didn’t know what classes to take and just signed up for BS and easy classes during his freshman year. He was accidently scheduled in a Law class and almost thought about not going, but decided to go in because he saw a pretty woman come in the classroom. He flirts and does his thing with her, then class started and the professor reminded Will of his Uncle Phil. He became interested with the subject and that is where and when he decided he wanted to be a lawyer. His charm and wit helped Will become a successful lawyer and he excelled in school because he enjoyed it. Will and Lisa’s relationship was pretty rocky after Lisa broke off the wedding. They broke it off for awhile and they were both single for the most part of college and Lisa also attended UCLA. Will dated many girls like in high school and he was very popular with all the student bodies and even his professors. He was sort of like the Van Wilder in UCLA. During Will and Lisa’s later years in college they end up having a class together, their love rekindles and they both decide to date again. Now in the present they are having problems again because Lisa still doesn’t know if she wants to get married and Will wants to get married and start a family soon.

 

Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian

Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian are both retired in the rich suburbs of New York. Uncle Phil lost weight and for some reason Aunt Viv is the dark Aunt Viv from the few earlier season of Fresh Prince. This time Uncle Phil gets clowned for being skinny. Nicky is the only one living under their roof and is handful like Will growing up. They are more relaxed now because of the experiences from the other kids and Nicky hasn’t done anything that Will and Carlton hasn’t done before until…..

 

Jazz

Still the same ol’ Jazz.

Synopsis of The Reunion

The whole family flies out to Bel-Air for Carlton and Della’s wedding. Will, is of course, Carlton’s best man and Della’s maid of honor is Ashley. Carlton gets cold feet and doesn’t know if he still wants to marry Della. Carlton does stupid stuff and Will basically convinces him Della is the best thing that ever happened to Carlton.

Hillary basically learns more about parenting and teaches her daughter Paris to not act like a spoiled brat.

Ashley consults Della of Carlton’s breakdown because she is the maid of honor. She gets lectured by her whole family about how his Rapper boyfriend is no good for her. She tries to be hard headed but later on decides it was the best for her and her career to breakup with him. She meets a guy at the wedding, who is one of Will’s good friend. He is also a lawyer.

Nicky finds out while he is in Bel-Air that one of his friends (girl) might be pregnant. He gets a scare and his future flashes before his eyes (flash forward). Nicky’s parents lectures him and Will gives him some advice since he looks up to him. After everything happened, the girl calls back and says that she wasn’t pregnant and it was a close call. He learns a valuable lesson.

Will and Lisa work through their problems. Carlton’s wedding opened Lisa’s eye on what she wants her life to be, and that’s to start a family with Will. Lisa’s proposes to will at Carlton’s and Della’s reception and he says yes! Will and Lisa cries, so does Carlton.

Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian reminisce about the past. They confess how proud they are of everyone.

The ending would be in the reception. Carlton does his “Carlton” dance over a Tom Jones song who is actually in the reception singing in person. Everyone is happy and they all go in the dance floor to dance together. And Jazz get thrown out of the reception by Uncle Phil.

  
THE END.

 

P.S

 Jokes are obviously worked in the script

What I’m Excited Four (For)

December 2, 2009 paul 2 comments

Basketball

I’m excited to actually play some competitive basketball. I haven’t played since PSBL and that season our team and especially me, as an individual didn’t do too well. I was not in the best shape for basketball and I was limited to PSBL as my only source of any type of physical basketball. This coming season a few of us from PSBL put together a team for a league called ASBL and our first game is this Sunday. I’m pretty stoked about it and even have been trying to get back in b-ball shape slowly and hopefully surely. I do miss my PBL Oak Harbor squad, but this long break has actually given me the itch to play competitive, so by the time the PBL squad is ready, hopefully I’ll be ready.

Consistent Golf
I’m excited to start my lessons. I paid 90 bucks for 3 lessons with a professional instructor at PUETZ. A winter deal they have going until February 28. I have paid a good amount of money for my irons, putter, driver, glove and bag and the least I can do is invest in myself on learning how to hit properly. I don’t know how Francis Tubo got so good without lessons, but I am determined to be able to hang in a full golf course for the upcoming summer. First I must learn how to tee off consistently with correct form and hopefully that is where my instructor comes in. Practice will take care of the rest.

Christmas 2009

Yah, this holiday is expensive, but my family and I always have a great time during Christmas. I just like the whole Christmas atmosphere. Everyone seems to be nicer, even at work. I like the decorations and Christmas lights around the neighborhoods and also the decorations in downtown Seattle are fun. I just don’t like not finding a parking spot at the Malls and last minute shoppers, but I’m also in that category.

Annual Secret Santa/ Inpanema

I think I can consider this an annual thing now right? Well, I’m excited for this because this is the time of year where all of our close friends get together for a meatfest and exchange presents. Last year was our first time having it at Inpanema and a few of us couldn’t make it because it snowed. I’m hoping for good weather so that EVERYONE is able to come and get their presents and eat hella meat. Oak Harbor is known for 2 things: Basketball and eating….and girls…lols I want to welcome Albert and Matt to this year’s Annual SS/Inpanema celebration. Dec. 20th, 2009 @ Inpanema Grill, 1PM sharp.

Regular Monday

November 3, 2009 paul Leave a comment

So vacation from Hawaii has passed and I have nothing to really look forward to right now but Thanksgiving. Like I say every year, Turkey Day is my favorite holiday because all you gotta do is wait until the food is cook. I was going to write a huge blog about Hawaii but Dan is doing a pretty good job at it and I think Junior and Ces are writing one as well. I had a long blog for day one when I was bored on the plane, but it was waay too long.

The NBA season started and I was really excited for that. NBA league pass was free for a 2 weeks and took a lot of my time. The Bulls are 1-2 and they obviously miss Ben Gordon. Seattle still doesn’t have a team which is pretty sad. I still haven’t watch Sonicsgate, but I am planning to this weekend along with finishing my Hawaii video. FIRE Vinny Del Negro and get a REAL coach.

BBM chat is awesome!
