yea, another if and when moment...

If and when. . .
I earn enough money to buy a house . . .
I'd want a house with . . .. . . a swimming pool
. . . lots of windows
. . . spacious rooms for my trucks-load of stuff
. . . nice backyard for dogs to run around
. . . and a nice view
but I definitely don't want a house with lots of trees. . . too many bugs . . . hahaa . . .
Palm trees are okay. . .
I don't know exactly how it would look though... but I think if and when I see it... I'll know... hahaa... or else, I'll have to build my own... but I'd really need to be a millionaire or something...But I think I like the modern design... I don't really like the houses with pointy roofs... but something like this is okay...
But look at what I found through Google Image search for dream homes...
what a unique looking house... I'm curious what the inside looks like...
Speaking of insides... I like the inside to be very well lighted... I don't like the dark... I'm always the one turning on the lights in the house... hahaa...
But I seriously need to think of a way to organize my trucks-load of stuff... and throwing it away will not solve the problem... it'll create a problem from me to the person throwing it away!!!~ hahaha...
OH! If and when. . .

if and when...

If and when. . .
I get a car and drive. . .
I'd want a small car. . .
Doesn't need to be a fast car. . .
Just one that is good enough. . .
I wouldn't mind a SMART car...
and I could get into any parking space...
and it comes in ORANGE color!!!
Or if I can find one... I'd take one of these...
Classic MINI Cooper...
Saw a beautiful one over the weekend... shiny like new... oh so nice...
If not... I'd take the new one too (MINI Cooper S)... hehee... but I'd have to decide between the BLUE one or the ORANGE one...
yea... I'd actually choose BLUE over ORANGE because BLUE was the first color I saw of the MINI that I loved... then the ORANGE one came out when they released the convertible... hmm... that'll be tough...
OH! If and when. . .

step into the past
Saturday, Jul 5, 2008 1:34AM / Members only
Monday night thru yesterday afternoon, we were babysitting the french bulldog (I've blogged about him before)... he just turned 1 year old in mid-June and it seems that he isn't as hard to handle anymore... he still has his naughty moments, but not quite as bad as before...
But as we noticed Wednesday morning, his right eye was really red and the eyelids seem to sag a little... it got worse as the day progressed; it was irritating him. So we called his owner and we made the appointment to take him to the vet to get his eye checked out... We went to the vet yesterday and the vet said his right eye was irritated and infected...
so he's on eye drops, eye ointment, and pain pills... but we've handed him back to his family members. We telephoned to see how he was doing and they said the swelling went down a little bit... *phew*
Anyway, the pet hospital that we went to was the same pet hospital we used to go to with our dogs; but we stopped going there when something unpleasant happened... and yesterday when I had to step into the past and enter the same pet hospital, I felt very uneasy; as we waited for the vet to come to our room, sitting by the door, I was looking outside into the other check-up rooms and all the memories started rushing through me... you know the feeling that when you're uneasy, it feels like your heart is beating rapidly and you can't breathe, I felt kinda like that... it was tough... (and honestly, when I see people on TV who acts with that feeling, I always felt they were exaggerating, but yesterday I discovered that it is really that hard)
I'm okay now... yesterday when I stepped into the pet hospital again to pick up Hunko, I was okay... didn't have that uneasy feeling...
Hopefully Hunko will be better soon...

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Wednesday, Jul 2, 2008 8:06AM / Members only
Several years ago I saw Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants... Actually when I first saw the trailer I didn't think it would be a movie I would enjoy... Then one Christmas, I was in Vegas visiting my uncle and family and we went to rent movies. My cousin and I picked out 5 movies and watched all of them in one day.
hahaa... well and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was one of them...

I actually enjoyed the movie... And so I went shopping for the books to see if they were on sale... I found the first book and the 3rd book... but I haven't read it yet... then last week, I stopped into a bookstore and saw Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (based on a movie) OH! the second part of the movie is coming out?

YEP! I just checked and it will be coming out this summer... right around my birthday... hahaa... let's see who I can drag with me to see this movie... hahaa...

a life's journey
Monday, Jun 30, 2008 4:52AM / Members only
Last night I attended an Installation Dinner for the local bowling association and was inspired by four people who were there to accept very special awards.
First off, two young bowlers were there to receive Scholarships from the bowling association. Melissa Wong just graduated from High School (I think) and will be moving on to the School of Design in addition to her bowling career. School of Design? that caught my attention. hahaa...
And another recipient of the scholarship, Kenneth Martin, also fresh outta High School will be working towards his bowling career to bowl on the US Team for bowling. And as mentioned he will be going to Detroit next week to compete with the US Team (I think it's the youth bowling US team)
Obviously, in order to receive the scholarship, they'd have to be good in school and they both are with outstanding grades and achievements. That's awesome!!!!~ I wish there was such things when I was in school; but then again, I wasn't a great achiever in High School...
-------
Then there were two Hall of Fame Inductees with very inspiring stories.
The first one, Michael Cristofani has been bowling since the '60s. As a youth bowler he only averaged about 140. Then he started picking up the challenge to do better. But one year he was in an accident (of some sort) and he was paralyzed from the neck down. But after a year he was better and not just was he able to walk again, he was able to bowl again. And he did better than ever. He's bowled 13 perfect 300 games. And he is currently the record holder for the Bay Area's highest average bowler. If I remember correctly, his average is a 214. WOW!!!! A lot of people were teary-eyed from listening to his life story.
And the second person, Ron Murata, also about the same age as Michael, competed as a youth bowler. He's has his accomplishments as a bowler too. Bowling 15 perfect 300 games and a high series of 836 with 3 games of 279, 279, 278.
And also he had one of the highest league average of a 240!!!!~ WOW!!!!~ his daughter is showing interest in bowling as well. And after this summer she will become an adult bowler and join the winter league with her father and her grandfather. A bowling team of 3 generations. How awesome is that!!!!~
---------
It was quite an evening with inspiring stories. Amazing people!!!!~ And in addition to all this, Tony Reyes (the professional bowler) was there as the Installing Officer. When we first arrived, he standing right by the door waiting to be checked in and I didn't know he was standing there and I said something stupid (hope he didn't hear me) but then my mom greeted someone, so I turned to look. OH! It's TONY REYES!!!
hahaa... you may recall that last year I had a funny experience as well. Read here...
HAHA!!!~ anyhow, it was a great dinner / event. I was honored to be there and to help the bowling association design the flyer for this event.
