Do Miracles Really Happen???
Apparently they did tonight as the giants came from behind (2 outs in 11 innnings) to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-3.... I'm bitter... why am I bitter??? I was actually at this game and if you had seen any of the highlights or plays, you would have seen that the Giants had literally given the game away so many times.... in the 9th, in the 10th and the 11th.. It was too much to take... Ariel and I left our seats (which were in club level and literally 5 seats away from a foul ball catch) and went home tired and frustrated... I swear these live baseball games really take a lot of emotion... In any case, I find myself sitting in the car listening to the giants give up a run to none other than ex-giant Matt Williams. I turn off my radio in disbelief.. THANK GOD I LEFT.... WRONG.... I decide to listen 10 minutes later... and wouldnt' u know it.. they come from behind with 2 on and 2 out and score 2 runs.... oh my 2 much excitement..... anyway just had to share that...
On other notes.. thx again Regan for such a great soiree over at Whisper... after maybe an hour of listening to trombones and trumpets and drums blasting in our ears.. they finally started to play club music... nice diverse crowd.. (though I think our group supplied the asian mix)... $5 cover (that sure beats the $10 or $15 I thought it would be since it's memorial day)..... Regan you must show some of those pictures... especially the "freak trains" with v-may and all the girls..those are the best!.... We must have another one soon... let us know how vegas goes... does Val win big in paigow??? does Regan play great bets on sports???
alrighty let's see what else... hmmm..
TIff L - I hear your burnt from this weekend? where'd ya go and why in the hell did you only use SPF 15 and think that was enough for 6 hours in the sun???
Nick - I am very impressed how you can keep your blogs so short and to the point... obviously I'm the opposite.
Tiff B - So how'd your fresno excursion with Mona go?? anything exciting for us to know about or visit there??

Jefe - I hope you were going to publish your blog.. you just posted it... thank god.. I blogged... =) btw... us dark ppl get darker and burnt..are those just both terrible.... the sun is really not our friend...
Ed - Did you say you work now for amex??? I would get one but I'd never use it b/c I need all the points on my target visa =)

TIDBITS
For all of you with significant others, Beach Blanket Babylon (BBB or B cubed) is a must see! It's such a fun show! Can't tell you too much without spoiling it! Nick, Tiff L, Julie, and Me (we are all significant to each other cuz we all single) went on Friday night and laughed and laughed and laughed. Afterwards we went to Calzone's and had a scrumptious dinner. The bruschetta is magnifique! Bowling was a great nightcap! So, for all you couples out there, catch the show and make it a little date in the hoppin' North Beach section of town...it's well worth the dinero.
Tiff L, Nick, and I played softball for 6 straight hours. Actually, Nick and I watched for 5 hours since our team lost. Tiff, on the other hand, played three straight games....can we say all-star? Anyways, I'm burnt like toast today. My face and the back of my neck are killing me today. And I thought filipino people just got dark and not burnt?
I can actually say I fell in love this weekend. It finally has happened. I fell in love with lacrosse! Did you know that a zone transition can take a team out of its passing game? Did you know that a zone with the short sticks near the pipes can be so effective? Did you know that a player curling around net can set up another player backdooring the extended defense? Do you know how awesome a behind the back pass can look? Did you know how important it was to get it on net with a man down? TAFT...I am a convert! Hook me up with sticks and we can toss.
Being that the temps are creeping up, I've decided to make this blog that much more HOTTER. So here it is, without further ado, here is my list of the HOTTEST WOMEN in sports:
1. Jennie Finch (softball pitcher) - WAY HOT and the landslide winner in my opinion. She my new girlfriend!
http://espn.go.com/page2/s/hottest/female/finals.html
2. Brittany Jackson (Univ. of Tennessee shooting guard) - WAY CUTE!
3. Logan Tom (Stanford volleyball player) - There always needs to be a volleyball player in the hottest female athlete category!
4. Lindsay Yamasaki (pro basketball player via Stanford) - MIXED or maybe not, but she still on my list.
Fellas, feel free to chime in. Hey, Ed, where are all the Berkeley hotties....I got two stanford ones on my list?

Hey yall,
Hope to see most of u come out 2morrow nite...it'll be fun! I tried doing a guest list thang but didn't have the proper connects or what not...so I think we need to kick down a cover...but since we're working folk anyways, that shouldn't be a problem. Especially if Tiff B isn't there, there should be enough alcohol to go around. Too bad Tiff L won't be there either, since we would need someone to bartend =).
RANDOMNESS:
- Ed, Detroit was technically never in the lottery...so you lose.
- I admit, its pretty fun watching Sex in the City, season 4 came out this week!
- Hopefully we'll have a new home picture after the wknd is over
- Tiff L, I never opened that picture u linked in ur blog...u didn't make it sound so appealing
- Got my refund back WOO HOO!
- Jeff got a new pitching machine...but anyone knows of a tent-pitching machine, do tell
- Must pick new driving range date, since Tiff L robbed NN from me
- Ed, hope my answers to you ?s contributed to your recent hire
- V-may broke my Stephon Marbury bobblehead doll...the weekend is ruined before it even started
- Where the archives go?
- So is The Matrix Reloaded good or not?
- If you haven't already, go to your nearest browser and sign up for FRIENDSTER...It's pretty weird, because I'm connected to people in my family
- Sylv...it seems like there's always markdowns and sales at BR...right? And I wanted these shoes, called PEYTON (i think)...so if can track em down in a 10 I'd greatly appreciate it
- Will Lebron have as good a rookie campaign as AMARE?
- Tony Parker > Gilbert Arenas
- Annika = journeyman PGA tour player
- Anyone wanna watch MUSIQ SOULCHILD at the FILLMORE? $30 on June 6 I believe.
- Help me fall back in love with HIP-HOP...I've tried listening to more of her older stuff to rekindle that passion, but I'm not feeling her right now.
- good nite =)
one love,
ReeGaDeeg (help me out on a new nickname yall)

Good morning peeps! How’s everyone doing this fine day? There’s been much blogtivity this week. Good to know I’m not the only one avoiding work.
As it gets warmer and warmer, I’m having a hard time concentrating on work. I need to find a country that only works during the fall and winter.
Anyways, I wish I could say that I had a good ole drunken time at B2B or that I ran it in a little over an hour (congrats SYLV…you rock!!!) but I can’t. I had a good time, don’t get me wrong, my experience wasn’t as eventful or confusing as TAFT and not as productive as Sylv’s. Nonetheless, I had a good time luggin a 9 foot brick around SF. I had to wake up at 5:30 in the morning so I could take the bus to the starting line so my volunteer group could assemble our brick. I actually didn’t really help with the assembling, my sole responsibility was to guard the keg from all the hobos who were looking to get their morning buzz (like TAFT…j/k). Since it was my first B2B, I wanted to see some naked people. My friends and I were on a mission to look for them but there weren’t too many around. We had to walk about 5 miles before we saw any naked butts. And this is what we saw … WARNING!!!! UPCHUCK REACTION HIGHLY POSSIBLE!!!!
http://www.onebrick.org/2003gallery/show.asp?Index=135&Folder=05-18-03_-_Bay_to_Breakers&start=121
Do you know how hard it was to maneuver a brick around those guys? I think we were stuck behind them for about ½ an hour. Yeah I wanted to see naked people, but I wanted to see nice looking naked people. The naked people were old and flubbery and full of cottage cheese. ICKY!!! But mission accomplished. We should all do this next year!!!
I am goin to organize our annual softball game this year. Does June 21 or 28th sound good to people? I will make breakfast again! OR we can have a BBQ after! Please let me know which date works for you.
Shout Outs
V-may: sorry but I won’t be able to attend what I know will be a puke-fest for everyone. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Tell reeg to buy a shot for you from me =)
Reeg: take care of v-may and yourself for that matter.
Phil-me-in? so who won on American idol?
Jefelicious: can’t wait to see ur pitching machine!!!!
Ecp: matrix does suck. And I don’t I think will ever want to cook after next week. Thanks for ruining my life =)
Alright, I’m outty 5000.

Lotto Fever
Well, 1 day and counting until the Carmelo Anthony Sweepstakes begins. Who will land Melo? And who will have to settle for Lebron? Yup, the NBA Lottery is tomorrow. To make it more interesting, let's make it a true lottery...no expertise needed. I propose we all put in $7 and pick our top 3 teams...i guess, this my form of online gambling. We pick the top three teams and each correct pick is worth a point (so max points is 3 and minimum is 0). If a tie occurs, then the order you put is the tie-breaker. The more exact order is the winner. If there is still a tie, then no one wins, and this was a pure waste of time. Actually, this is a pure waste of time, if no one but me does it. So, knowing how some of us like gambling, then some of you should try...even if you don't like the NBA.
There are a total of 1000 ping pong balls with the worst teams getting more balls. So, the following is the order of the worst teams and the amount of ping pong balls they have. Denver (225), Cleveland (225), Toronto (157), Miami (120), Clippers (89), Memphis (64), Chicago (44), Atlanta (29), NY (15), Wash (14), GS (7), Seattle (6), Houston (5). So, since the first ball out is given the #1 pick, both Den and Cleve have 22.5% chances of getting that pick. If you want, more %s...go to nba.com and click on draft lottery.
So without further ado, here are my top three (in order):
1. Miami
2. Chicago
3. Clippers
Yup, there it is!
You all have til 4:45 pm tomorrow....the lottery starts at 5pm. You can catch it on ABC.
BTW: who wants to play in a softball tournament on MON. (11am-3pm Presidio) for an aids charity fundraiser. It's $100 per team...we must field at least 10 players. Let me know.

Hey, Blogville, sorry I haven't been able to post in awhile but it's been a hectic month(s), so I present.......
The Bizarro un-Top Ten List
Gugol. Ala Jefe Luna-bar, I have given notice at Presenting Solutions Inc (that's the co. I work for currently...it's ok, I forget sometimes too). My final day in my office will be May 29th, when they kick me out the door after realizing that I let my dog chew on everything.
B-22. Yahtzee! Glad to see Taft is finally putting together the first edition in her personal rendition to War and Peace. If we added all of Taft's blogs and put them into books, all the world's rainforests would be decimated. On the other hand, if we added all of Nick's blogs together, we'd have The Pocket Dictionary, Letters Za-Zc. (excerpt:"Nick happy, bowl good. Yay A's")
7. The other day my dog started humping some girl's leg and the girl couldn't stop laughing. And I thought, wow, my dog and I connect on so many levels and share so many experiences.
UB40. I'm sorry Phil, but i haven't watched any t.v. except for sporting events and ESPN. Therefore I am exepmt from making any American Idol comments.
$$$. I've accepted an offer to become a corporate bitch at American Express. The official term is Financial Advisor, but that's just a front. When I begin to build my client base, I'll be sure to come to you guys. Then you'll be sorry I posted because I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE.
2+2=Bingo!<b> I will also be forced to officially quit my current posts at Holy Name (though they don't know it yet) and St. Ignatius (as water polo coach) and will therefore lose my membership to the Jamaican-i-got-tree-jobs-you-lazy-bastard Club (see: In Living Color).
RIP. I saw the Kings lose game 7 while I was sitting in a Sacramento sports bar. I haven't seen so many white men cry since they canceled Cheers, and I now know how a black guy would feel at a Metallica concert....just lay looooow and don't sing along.
Bobble Bobble. I have a month off before I begin at AmEx. I'm planning a short trip to VEGAS BABY, VEGAS (see: Swingers). Any interested party goers are invited except Val. I don't wanna feel all low roller when I'm sweating out $5 and she's laying down a $G like it's monopoly money.
XXCCMIXCVII. Where do I get some SARS? I hear it's the "in" thing.
Fin. Taft. A whole day in the Sunset and you didn't visit me? Fine be like that. I'll let you slide this time cuz the Duke joke in your blog was top flight(Yes, i actually read the whole thing. No SARS yet, but yes on the shits, but that could be the bean with extra bean burrito I just ate).
Now to do the gentlemanly thing and mention everyone in Blogville with random thoughts....
Reeg- man down. go on without me.
Sylv- size 11.5 or 44 in european sizes.
Taft- i don't wear any underwear.
Nick- are you happy to see my dog or is that a bowling pin in your shorts.
Jeff- strike one, strike two, screw pitching machines. i say we just buy troy hudson to pitch.
Phil- if i were on american idle i'd sing the theme song to american idle.
Tiff- Matrix sucked. i'm free for you to cater for me tomorrow. i'm not allergic to any foods.
Dan- blog bitch.
Regards,
Edmund C. Pan

*BURP*
whew....i'm full.....
***********
*applauds taft's alchohol extravaganza*
ahhh TAFT....reading your blog reminds me of the mayhem of G2...and the liver I have to prove it! Maybe you were one of the rowdy folk that flug a tortilla @ me while I ran the B2B like goddamn PREFONTAINE......
I wish I had the luxury of early morning inebriation along the streets of my beloved city. Sadly, I was registered to race with KENYA @ 8am.....while miss kenya finished in 39minutes....i trailes 25 minutes later, making my total B2B time 1:05:37 Not bad for 7.5 miles! I was able to shave a good 10 minutes off last year's time....
i just ate too much eggplant, spinach and mushrooms.....i had a whole plate of it for $2.50 from the good ol' Gap cafe....a Cafe 3 floors below you is EVIL, I say. I could order a stuffed thanksgiving turkey for lunch and they'd probably make it for me. After bringing my lunch from home (mac&cheese)...I was STILL hungry! with everyone passing my cube with their burgers and tacos and pizzas, I could have eaten 7 meals and still feel hungry. so, to feel as guilt free as possible, I ordered these grilled veggies.....but they gave me too much! so now i feel bloated and want to fall asleep......
Congratulations NAST on your all-time bowling score. Remember when you, me, michelle, den and dan used to bowl every day? I think my all time highest is 198.....
I, too went bowling this weekend....friday to be exact. Rather than going for POINTS, I opted for HOURS......yes, I succeeded in marathon bowling for 5 hours.....and I felt sore in joints that I had never felt before......HIGH SCORE for the night: 125
I hope all you ruben lovers showed your lovin by voting last night...and don't give me the excuse that it was busy....BAH! dedicated ruben fans would have kept calling.....I had the luxury of the at&t idols text messaging, so voted 25 times! my roommate, tho, chose to vote for clay 5 times.....hmmmm. anyhoo, we'll see who it'll be tonight! i'm, so excited...but i probably won't cry this time (b/c i don't think these fellas will cry like kelly clarkson did)
so v-may's birthday, huh? i'm scared. i'm scared because on v-may's b-day she shoves you a shot of vodka every 2 minutes and sh*t talks to you in tagalog.....then she proceeds to take body shots @ your house and pass out for 3 hours on your bathroom floor while her loving BF and good friend try and bring her back to conciousness. get your livers ready everyone....what a night of debauchery this will be.....I'm going to wear a pail around my neck...what about you?
OK, so i sent some of you (i still don't have an updated list of everyone's emails!) this thing called FRIENDSTER....check it out....it's really bizarre. talk about six degrees of separation, this site lets you connect with a whole network of people who know somebody who knows somebody and so on.....ONE RANDOM EXAMPLE: I invited doyouphilme, and his sister is also on there, and she happens to be longtime friends with my great great big sis in my sorority, who is also the next door neighbor to my pledge sister/good friend aimee! so check it out...
That's all for now, folks! back to the land of shoes...
P.S: BR just took a bunch of stuff on SALE today....go shopping people!
ciao,
syl
whew....i'm full.....

*applauds taft's alchohol extravaganza*
ahhh TAFT....reading your blog reminds me of the mayhem of G2...and the liver I have to prove it! Maybe you were one of the rowdy folk that flug a tortilla @ me while I ran the B2B like goddamn PREFONTAINE......
I wish I had the luxury of early morning inebriation along the streets of my beloved city. Sadly, I was registered to race with KENYA @ 8am.....while miss kenya finished in 39minutes....i trailes 25 minutes later, making my total B2B time 1:05:37 Not bad for 7.5 miles! I was able to shave a good 10 minutes off last year's time....
i just ate too much eggplant, spinach and mushrooms.....i had a whole plate of it for $2.50 from the good ol' Gap cafe....a Cafe 3 floors below you is EVIL, I say. I could order a stuffed thanksgiving turkey for lunch and they'd probably make it for me. After bringing my lunch from home (mac&cheese)...I was STILL hungry! with everyone passing my cube with their burgers and tacos and pizzas, I could have eaten 7 meals and still feel hungry. so, to feel as guilt free as possible, I ordered these grilled veggies.....but they gave me too much! so now i feel bloated and want to fall asleep......
Congratulations NAST on your all-time bowling score. Remember when you, me, michelle, den and dan used to bowl every day? I think my all time highest is 198.....

A Tale of Two Cities
By Tiffany Grace Basilio
Main characters: Taft, UC Davis Lacrosse, and the fine people of San Francisco
Setting: Davis and San Francisco
Year: 2003
Day 3 (Sunday 5.18.03)
8:30 PM: Enter Taft as she arrives back home in Davis, exhausted after what seemed like the longest three days of her life. When you've been awake since 6:45 that morning from having participated in your first Bay to Breakers, you can?t help but feel like you can pass out and sleep for days.Flashback to Day 1 (Friday 5.16.03)
Friday flew by in a blur as I took care of last minute preparations for the team banquet that night. After a scrumptious dinner provided by the fine chefs of Buca de Beppo, the team and I headed back to Davis to hand out awards and such. Small details and inside jokes aside, the banquet itself concluded on a sappy note as the team surprised me with the best gift a former player turned coach could ask for ? my very own superduper-size beer mug, specially engraved with the quote "Even a mug this size doesn't allow me to drink with as much heart, effort and skill as I coach with." Insert teary eyes here. Can there be a better way to transition into the afterparty? I didn't think so either.
So what I can actually conjure up from that night are the following blurbs: at one point during the night, one of my guy friends had me hoisted upside down for all to see the lovely undies that I was sporting under my dress.....I made lots of rookies take lots of shots, especially the girl who went to our archrival SH and constantly badgered me all season by calling me out as a cherry (she took a shot for every time she said cherry that night).....I found out the love of my life (who's actually this cute and super nice guy from my Spanish class) is moving away to Huntington Beach. What a bummer.....got in a yelling match with some guy over the damn lakers, then schooled a bunch of other guys on my knowledge of college basketball. It pays to have ESPN-loving guy pals, like most of you fine bloggers out there, to teach you a thing or two about sports.....hey go read that quote from the mug again. Now go have three superduper-size mugs of beer and read it again. It will start to look something like "Even mugs with hearts can't coach" or various assortments of that phrase. Note to self: don"t drink and read..... I woke up the next morning in my bed at home with my dress and shoes still on. Fade into Day 2 (Saturday 5.17.03).
And boy did I suffer that morning. It takes me a whole day to recover from a night of heavy drinking, rendering me completely incapable of making any quick-thinking decisions, like say taking a last minute trip to San Francisco for the Bay to Breakers. The very thought of running in the condition I was in brought pains to my stomach as I visualized what the contents of last night's food and booze intake would look like in its upchucked form (heed the parental advisory now, if you will). Despite my unwillingness to participate in this or any activity other than sleeping, I still managed to find myself packing my things and jumping into my roommate's San Francisco-bound car. Ok fine, maybe come race time my upchuck reflex will have subsided, I thought to myself.
So you're probably wondering where we planned to crash for the weekend. My thought exactly. My friend knew some fellas who lived on 6th and Judah, so we ended up on their stoop. But no one was home. So what would any other girl in such a situation do? Why take the Cosmo quiz of course! Just as we were about to determine if I was a gal who was "ready to settle down" (aka get married) or not, the resident of the house arrived and we were finally allowed inside. FYI, Cosmo deemed me a "commitment-friendly chick."
I spent the rest of the day wandering about the sunset (check out Wishbone on Irving which carries the trendiest little odds and ends. Think mini urban outfitters, but without all the clothes). I must say it was really weird being in that area without you guys. I couldn't help but think of you all the whole time (insert sympathetic awwww's here). Must have been because there were a lot of cracked-out homeless beggars and old-ass Asian people around. Ohhh yes, nothing says 3rd floor crew like some dirty hobos. :-) Later that night, more people poured into the house to crash for the next day's race. So what does everyone decide is the best way to spend the night before a 7 and a half mile race? Why drink of course. Off we went to the corner store to purchase forties from some crazy Russian lady. Luckily we were all too tired to get wasted that night. Plus the realization that we actually had to get up at 6:45 the next morning loomed over our heads long enough to prevent us from taking another sip of beer. Lights out. Enter Day 3 (Sunday 5.18.03).
I am not a morning person. 6:45 came around too quickly and I was awakened by someone in the house yelling "good morning sunshine" in as cheery and obnoxious a voice as you can get at that hour. I wanted to throw my pillow (or something much much larger) at her and crawl back to bed. So we all got our stuff together, vodka-filled waterbottles included, and walked down the street to catch the N Judah which would take us to the Embarcadero for the start of the race. Once we hit the streets of downtown, all hell broke loose.
So what's funnier than a naked man jumping on a trampoline? Absolutely nothing! That basically sums up the Bay to Breakers experience doesn't it? So obviously the race didn't blast off to a staggering start because we were surrounded by fellow boozers (and I don't mean former Duke-y Carlos and his family. Ha! My first sports quip, albeit I sound like Jeff, but whatever). Tortillas flew through the air like Frisbees, chants ensued around the guys doing keg stands, and here I am taking a shot out of my vodka-infused water bottle with a cop no less than 50 feet away. Only in San Franciso. Only Bay to Breakers.
By Fell St, I was hammered. So were all my new pals. Thank god they knew people who lived on Fell so I could take a potty break in a real bathroom. I recall a flock of elvis's sitting and hanging out with us at one point, but I could be wrong. Anyway, once we got into the park, more hell broke loose as I lost the group. Thankfully, I still had my friend Ali (who was the evil genius that got me into all this mess in the first place) but she was just as smashed and confused as I was. So we ran back to see where we lost them. Nowhere in sight. Maybe they went up ahead of us. So we ran, yes ran, up further to see if they were there. No such luck. So we ran s'more and as we sped past Mr. Personality rejects, carts with kegs, women in wedding gowns and naked painted men, others around us cheered us on thinking that we were actually racing or something. Fools. "I'm as drunk as you are!" I yelled back. It was useless, we weren't gonna find the people we knew in this sea of madness. Because of all that running, the buzz was starting to wear off, so we decided it was time to refill and mooch off someone's keg. Seeing as how we were nearing the end of the race, most kegs were tapped. But suddenly, out of the blue, this magic cart pushed by the SF men's rugby team pulled up and we scored some Sierra Nevada. But get this - the guy pushing the cart ended up being the brother of none other than Brendan O'Brien, the Santa Clara lacrosse team's coach! How crazy is that. A couple of quick chugs and an empty cup later, we were off running again. Next thing I knew, I was at the beach with the finish line in sight. After another quick bathroom break, I made a final dash to the finish where the clock read 5:00:06 as I crossed. That's read 5 hours, 0 minutes and 6 seconds. Not bad for a drunken first timer, eh? I heard the winner finished in like 15 minutes or something. Damn those Kenyans are fast. From there we went to some Thai place, which was actually having its grand opening that day, and rewarded myself with some good 'ol pad thai. Took the N Judah back to the house, crashed on the couch for a bit, and then we were back in the car to return to Davis.
The End.
So what have we learned from the main character's adventure, kids? Drink in moderation. Otherwise you'll spend the next few days exhausted and without a voice. For all you literary wits who love nothing more than some good intellectual discussion on blogiterature, feel free to post comments. The author will be available shortly for questions and autographs. Thank you.

Taft - So you must take pictures of your apt party.. Do I hear a buzzed blog part deux???
Lamster - I could never play kickball b/c you could hardly ever really get a hit... I must watch you though.. I still owe you one for watching me play v-ball.. what time are your games.. and who is your team?

Hi, my name is Jefe, and I would like to (re)enter the world of the blog. With your permission, I would like to post the following blog:
Forecast: Bloggerstorms have been heavily reported and there's no telling when they'll stop. Being that weather forecasters are so accurate, I will make like one, and predict that these bloggerstorms will end Tuesday morning. Prove me wrong.
As some of you know, I am leaving my work and am going off to nursing school. However, after this morning, I think I might change my mind and pursue another career. So, at 6am this morning, I drop my mom off at her vanpool. I get home only to find that my front door lock is jammed and my key is not working. The damn door wouldn't unlock. So, there I stand, in my snowman pajamas (pants only) trying to turn the key for 15 minutes. I can't enter through my garage cuz it's manual and I don't have the key. Luckily my dad worked the night shift, so I gave him a call and he said he would come home. I think he was reluctant and was prolly thinking "he's such an idiot." So he gets home, and we plan out our next step. We go to the backyard and put our old dishwasher under one of our kitchen windows. He stands on top of it and takes off the screen but the window poses another obstacle. The window is one you can open but there's a pole keeping it from opening. We fine some screwdrivers in the car and we pry them under the window and manage to flick the pole away. I then jump up and through into the house to unlock the back door! So, I think I'm gonna become a burglar. How ridiculous is it that we had to break into our own house. Twenty damn minutes to break through, but for me, I was there for a damn hour! Then I had to change really quickly out of my pj's and rush to work. TGIF huh?
Anyways, I have given my notice at work and I am leaving July 11. So, if any of you know anyone interested in a PT Aide job, please pass me their info. I am taking charge in finding my replacement.
Taft/Nick: I'm glad our trip to the exploratorium was educational. I can't even remember those things and you two make it sound like it's your new language!
T-Lam: it's been studied that how far you kick is attributed to the size of one's balls. one cannot kick far if you have small balls or no balls at all. bigger balls generate the power to kick the ball far. I guess the guy's on that team had a combined number of NO BALLS. Next time, I recommend you bust their nuts for fun...being that it wouldn't make a difference in their kicking abilities.
FILL-UP: I think both should win and start the first male duo group. They'd rock-it like they were in houston! they should call themselves 205 Winks! I haven't watched the bachelor, but kristen is hot and has a fantastic body, pretty face, nice smile, etc. So with that said, I want Jen to win!
SYLV: Pilates is way tough...i try it at work and I'm way stiff. But i gots to say, the reformer and the cadillac are cool names for the machines.
REEG: so kk couldn't get into a large spread? and you like a girl like that?
FYI: New pitching machine coming soon! No more malibu! Thanks Reeg!
BTW: Joey should have ended up with Dawson and NOT Pacey!
Please keep if acceptable or delete if my re-entry to the world of blog is unacceptable.

FILL-UP: I think both should win and start the first male duo group. They'd rock-it like they were in houston! they should call themselves 205 Winks! I haven't watched the bachelor, but kristen is hot and has a fantastic body, pretty face, nice smile, etc. So with that said, I want Jen to win!
SYLV: Pilates is way tough...i try it at work and I'm way stiff. But i gots to say, the reformer and the cadillac are cool names for the machines.
REEG: so kk couldn't get into a large spread? and you like a girl like that?
FYI: New pitching machine coming soon! No more malibu! Thanks Reeg!
BTW: Joey should have ended up with Dawson and NOT Pacey!

Hey all
Nice looking picture. However, the pix is kinda old. Which means someone needs to have another PaR-TaY to make more hilarious pix of Asians with red-ass faces.
Reeg suggested that I update you peeps on kickball. We just had our 3rd game last nite and it was a doozie. We came back at the bottom of the 5th (regulation is 5 innings) to tie but to lose 5-3 in the extra innings. Considering I was a horrible team captain and forgot the beer, we all had a good time. Except of course, the other team was bunting throughout the entire game. Even the guys were p*ssies and bunted. We almost came out victorious over the pansies. DANG IT!!! Next time, we’re gonna have “REAL MEN DON’T BUNT” on our T-shirts or “SUCK ON DEEZBALLS IF U BUNT”…any other suggestions are welcomed
Bummer tiff, I won’t be able to make it to your phatty shindig. I will be at our alma mater HN cooking tons of food for an event. I’m sure I will want to get drunk after cooking and cleaning for lots and lots of people. But I will be thinking of you and awaiting another buzzed blog
I don’t watch bachelor so I cannot vote. Me likey Rueben sandwiches. Hopefully I will be watching dopey Clay on Broadway when I’m in NYC. AAAWWWWW YEEAAHHH!!!!
Another random SI sighting. Martha Shaunessy is in the kickball league as well.
Alright, that’s all folks!!! Have a nice weekend and enjoy the weekend

THAT PICTURE IS HUGE......but thanks reegs for fixing the bloggie......
random thought: isn't it amazing how mucha salad can fill you up??? i'm trying this new healthy diet thingy and i never realized how full i could get off a salad......those burgers they be grillin right next to the salad bar still look yummier than ever....*sigh*
BAY TO BREAKERS!!!! yes, folks...it's that time again....and of course, there is no volunteers to run with me....anyone, anyone???bueller?bueller?? C'mon people...this is a FUN RUN...not a marathon! when else do you get to run behind a wall of fat naked middle aged hippies drinking beer at 8 am??? as long as it doesn't rain (like last year), those 7.5 miles will go by in a flash!
"i do yoga and pilates and the room is full of hotties...."
well, not MY room....but I have invested in the wonderful world of pilates.....it's kind of a power yoga, if you will....and it's great! they do some crazy excersises that feel so silly but you don't realize how much of a workout you're getting.....
RANDOM SI SIGHTING
well it's a sighting and an encounter/hang out in one......but sadly, it isn't someone from class of '97, so i don't know how exciting this will be to all of you. This fellow wildcat IS the older sibling of a fellow '97 wildcat.........by the name of Gino Pucillo....remember him? anyhoo, i hung out with his older bro, Dan, @ El Rio in the Mission last week......cute and charming....he was fun to hang out with. The other guys we hung out with that night were also '94 wildcats...but i don't remember their names...
more random thoughts....
OK OK, i admit it, i want to go to the JT/ Dirty Girl concert........a.k.a Justin Timberlake/Christina Aguilera concert.....anyone else wanna try and find tix?
anyhoo...going bowling tonight....@ presidio bowl....you are more than welcome to stop by and bowl with me...... =)
PEACE OUT!

Hope yall r happy for the time being...please submit any other pictures deemed appropriate to me for consideraton...
GO SPURS! Tony Parker made People's 50 Most Beautiful People list...I guess Tyrone Hill got his spot taken...
GO KINGS! Don't the lakers wish they still had van exel?
GO KIRSTEN! She's hot...I think the Fireman will pick her (that's his self-given nickname according to 97.3)
GO RUBEN! Clay simply cannot win. Look at him and his expressions. And regardless of what Michelle Yuson may say with my liking of this show, do not believe her. She is trying to sabotage my rep.
GO MILLIONAIRE! Not Joe, but that guy left in Mr. Personality (I honestly don't really watch this show, I just caught a slight glimpse of the last episode.)
GO SURF GIRLS! Just make sure they don't surf near Yoel. (I hope yall know what show I'm talking about b/c then it wouldn't make sense.)
GO CLARK! If you saw this week's SV, you'd know what I mean.
GO 2 SLEEP!

Just wanted to chime in and vote in Phil's little poll real quick...
Bachelor: I want Jen to win just because she seems a little nicer and more genuine. But I think Kirsten might win it. Is it just me, or does it seem like there's little love between the bachelor and these two women? And did you catch that reunion special? That was some good entertainment. Why was psycho Liz ever cast into this show in the first place?
American Idol: Are you kidding? RUBEN ALL THE WAY!! Everyone better vote for him. I swear, if Clay wins it, I hope Ruben and his brother sit and squash elf boy with their "205" asses. Clay belongs on Broadway, not on the next American Idol cd cover.
Hell yeah! The Lakers lost.

Heads up. I've got two announcements...
1) NEW EMAIL ADDRESS. I changed my email address, so the tgbasilio@ucdavis.edu and ucdlax5@aol.com addresses will no longer be in service. Please direct all admiration letters, hot guys' phone numbers, and Landon Donovan-related material to me at
tgbasilio@yahoo.com
2) SAVE THE DATE: 5/30. I'm having a "I'm finally leaving Davis so let's all get our drink on and write a group buzzed blog" party on Friday the 30th. The exact party title is still a work in progress, but for you guys, that should do. It's actually gonna be up here in my apartment in Davis on Friday night, May 30, so that leaves you all plenty of time to mark your calendars. Come one, come all. Spread the word.
That's it from me. Can someone please post another picture up top? This blogspot's looking a little drab without the photo love.

*My Kim L is gone* *Sighs*
Ok, So if any of you watched tonight.. you saw Kimberley Locke ousted from American Idol.. All I have to say is that I really hope Clay does not get it... if I have to see that Opie-look alike from Raleigh, I think I will have to barf... but in any case..
Regan, you're thoughts of my subliminal sex messages were right on target... Don't u realize I do that on purpose???
My head spins now at work.... They have decided not to promote me at work until there is more job stability at my work... apparently there are 20 analyst positions open at mervyn's (any takers who wants jobs, there are plenty at mervyn's)... and they are having problems keeping them filled.. so once again Phil gets jacked in his pursuit of happiness at work...
I went to my sidekick's wedding last Saturday.. Beautiful wedding in Santa Clara... the reception was held in a tent nearby where they had hors d'ouevers and an open bar before dinner... The whole ambiance was very elegant with pottery barn/crate and barrell placesettings w/ a green and silver theme... in any case, I"m glad it didn't rain b/c otherwise we would have had to walk around in muddy grass...
Tonight I went to my old org's banquet... I must say that they were very impressive and I see reflections of myself and my friends the years we were there... I miss those college years where all you saw where your friends and just went to school... it was so much easier then...
I also went to see Better Luck Tomorrow a couple weeks back... did I mention that it is a pretty good movie... You have to see it....
Ok I'll write again soon.

Whats up Yall,
I mean, weren't you guys tired of this picture anyways?? SORRY SORRY I tried messing with my own site, but I ended up tweaking this one...on accident. It's not the fact that I wasn't in that picture, so let me quell those rumors before they even start. I tried one evening to fix it...but I was like 3/4 asleep and didn't really focus. So maybe next time...
TUESDAY should be renamed MANDATORY TV watching day...good thing that I have TiVo...whew I wish I could stay planted in front of the tube eating bon bons....but I have to work, so I'll miss the beginning of the SAC-MAVS game...the 2nd half is what counts anyways. Tonight also should mark Kim's last night on AMID...please guys vote for Ruben...it's imperative that he wins and not CLAYKEN. Then there's the LAKE-SPUR SHOW series going down to the wire...GO SPURS! Speaking of which, do yall remember the Spur Club from like 10 yrs ago? They were a group of boys who competed in popping the most cherries...would've been hard to keep track of that u think?
Lastly there's the part I of the 2 part season finale of SMALLVILLE...as another great season concludes, we have the summer to speculate what's goin to happen in Season III...please check your local newsstand for the current issue of TV guide, where KK (LL) graces the cover...too bad its a small formatted magazine =(
Tiff BB: If you recall the rules, it was "Buzzed Blog." Not "totally off my rocker head spinning burrito craving at 4am damn she's hot maybe I'll get up 3 day hangover i can sang! blog" There is a subtle difference...maybe we should add an amendment to it...very entertaining though =)
Phil: I may have a dirty mind, when when Phil types "Phil posts a quickie before heading to bed," I don't think of his blog. C'mon guys..Phil is sending sexual subliminal messages.. "quickie?!" we ain't talking about chocolate milk. "HEADing" to bed? Can it be any more obvious?
Sylv: Good to see u back...even though u always ignore me online...you're still my friend. Remember, I'ma size 10 in BR shoes! But u have plenty interesting ideas that we should plan on pursuing. I've never been camping before, and would love to experience the outdoors not on a golf course...didn't yall want to go on a boat? Or did u do that already? Fill me in like Craig David...
Came back from LA on Sunday nite after driving down Sat morning....suffice 2 say it was pretty hectic, but it was worth it to see my bro graduate from UCLA law school....not to mention the breezies down there...hehehe JUST PLAYIN'....Goin to Vega$ for Memorial Day wknd...holler if anyone's down...aight yall, get back 2 work, because the reegsta has to...
one love,

You ever drink so much that....just kidding. Not to worry, I'm sober this time. So what's new kids? I'm hella bored up here in Davis. I can't wait to get home. The only thing stopping me is my banquet with the team, followed by an afterparty. Another buzzed blog? Hmmmm....after reading the insanity I came up with last time, I'd go with a no on that sequel.
So what's up with the missing picture at the top? Who's the thief?
Hey Tiff, how's the kickball action going? We need a play by play up in here. Phil - nice followup on another wildcat alum. Guess Father Nejasmich was right when he called our class the "dog with fleas" of the school. And I can't believe you passed up Restoration Hardware to stay in the plus size department. Jigga whut?
Yay for Ruben. I've got almost all his performances on the show on mp3. I just can't get enough of him.
How excited was I to catch old reruns of ESPN's "The Life" on ESPN Classic this week, especially since they included the one featuring Landon Donovan right before the World Cup. Eerie that I had mentioned that world cup in my drunken blog. Eerie.
Adios amigos. Time for bed.

Hey all,
*Phil posts a quickie before heading to bed*
I must say that I'm totally confused about work... I just declined an offer to go elsewhere to Restoration Hardware and am now waiting to get promoted here at good ole Hayward... And the chances look good.. I just hope they release me out of worst sizes .. oops I meant Women Sizes... but in any case I'm keeping my fingers crossed.... Did I mention that I am annoyed with the guy that I train??? He's so unprofessional and has the maturity level of a high school kid... Me and another analyst are helping with him on something and his phone rings and decides to answer it... so we just stand there while he talks to the person... ridiculous.. and then when we continue to explain.. he gets frustrated.. locks his computer and goes to lunch.. what a lamo!!!! Not to mention my sidekick Roselle is going off to be married on Saturday so she has 3 weeks of vacation... now who can I talk sh*t with at work now??? ugh!!!1
In any case I watched American Idol tonight.. a big tossup on who can go.. I think any of the 4 are vulnerable... I hope it's still Josh though....
See ya later
GO GIANTS!!!!!

hey there 3rd floor peeps....
yes, i have returned to the land of blogspot. after a year, i finally have the time during my work day to sit down and blog! geez, i love desk jobs!
Update: sylvia is now a member of the GAP army....just like Christine!....i am now part of the Banana republic: Shoes Merchandising team. The main perk: I get every pair of shoes for the upcoming seasons in my size! That's like 30 pairs a season! watch out imelda....
nice job tiffy with the drunken blog.....i'm still not sure whose drunken blog was better: NICK's or TIFFY's....i think tiffy's was much more obscene ("i like fuc") but Nick's was simply shocking. Kudos to both of you.....the drunken blog lives on....
you know what i've been missing lately? all those nights of excessive drinking at each other's houses....Regan's bday party reminded me of that...we should definitely try and do a monthly/every other month house party.....like the good ol' days....i mean, bars are fun and all....but you end up spending so much money....and then you have to DRIVE home?! no thank you.
so since my days at GAP have begun, i've had a lot of time to think.....here are some of my random thoughts:
let's go hiking/camping! now that the weather is getting somewhat decent again.....we should plan a day with nature.....
rockclimbing!!!
GIANTS are 21-9!!!! so you know what that means......time to go to those games! Sorry, nick, but the A's aren't doin it for me right now....
is someone going to have another BBQ soon? Lamster's BBQ rocked......i don't think i've ever eaten that much food in my life....
let's go to one of those all day/outdoor concerts....i'm itching to listen to some good music and enjoy some good weather!
my tennis racquet is getting dusty.....anyone down for some tennis?
ok, so those are my recent thoughts.....cube-jobs are great but i think you get more antsy and want to take more vacations....or do more activities....
back i go to my cube......
Ciao!

thanks for the reality recap phil...i can't believe trenyce got booted! i didn't watch the tuesday episode but everyone must of sucked since rueben and trenyce were the last two. goodness, the drama!!
to answer the questions previously asked. no, i will not go to the a's game. a's suckey donkey butt. and yes, i would love to play softball again but no more sweatshop activity please.
another reason not to have kids, especially girls: little girls are wearing some skanky clothes these days. all thanks to britney spears and her nasty self. how did i come to this conclusion? i am a little embarrassed to say this but i went to the avril lavigne concert last nite and i think i was the oldest "fan" there who didn't have a kid. so many little girls running around...i felt ancient. anyways, the girls were wearing tall ass boots and low ass jeans with ity bity shirts. geez, i would kill my daughter if she ever walked out of the house like those little hoochies did. and this was at avril's concert!!!! can you imagine what kind of hoochies the britney spears or christina a's concert would attract?!?!?!!? god help us all =)
