MY FIRST ADDITION TO "A DAILY DOSE: v2"...
Again, I would like to echo PHIL's sentiments and express our gratitude to SYLVIA for updating, maintaining and designing this site here...good ish! It's the grooviest and raddest page on the Internet book. And no people you are not delusional as yours truly (and another lurker) initially thought, the colors indeed change. I just wanted to write a blog worthy of the new modifications...
Biggest online time-waster: Friendster...Sylv knows, and fyi: do not try to log in during work hours, traffic is like the 405 on a rainy friday afternoon (LA reference, but it never rains in southern california)
Milk Carton: Jeff (and how is AK not on your list of female athletes?)
vega$ aftermath: After the math, I am in the red...at least phil and them did better
hawaii 5.0: is Lamster and Nickster back yet?
xxxtina/JT (not the bigga figga): may go to their concert....how was it phil?
kicks: Harputs had the sale of the millenium this wknd, buy a pair of Nikes get a pair free. Shoe selection was decent, so I came out with 2 pairs (anyone care to guess how many kicks I have? a free pair of socks to the person who gets closest)
flicks: haven't caught one in awhile, but i hecka wanna watch OLD SCHOOL, available on DVD now
chicks: haha fooled you! (timeless SPACEBALLS quote)
home sweet home: welcome back tiff b.
hip sweet hop: summer is supposed to be the time of major releases, so I'm keeping the faith
pictures: for those who haven't seen the rest of the pics that grace our site at the moment: A Loud Whisper
sports: summer is here, so time to stop watching sports and time to start playing...and Reeg's never been to a SFG game before at PBP...hopefully that'll change in the summer of 2K3
nostaglia: Is Ted DiBiase still a millionaire? and forget the xBox, i want this: whoa
time warp
b-daze: happy belated NICK (060103)...then there's D-RUEL (061303) and AA (061603)
they reminisce over you: this week/month marks our 10 year 8th grade graduation anniversary... MISSION DOLORES TIGERS represent
Alright yall, that's enough for the evening...good nite
one love,
reeg
PS: maybe not having comments is good, for it may encourage people to rather post (just my 2 pesos)

****memo from the blogmaster****
after 2 days of html tweaking, i resorted to starting fresh w/ a new template. i think a piece of code may have been deleted accidentally in the old blogspot.
also, i feel the vivid gradation of color allows for a more pleasant blogging experience.
SO.....PLEASE be careful when fiddling w/ the code. html is like a row of dominos: it only takes one piece to knock everything down.
also: images from imagestation cannot be posted on the blog (some privacy issue). so, email me the pics instead or use shuttefly.com
sorry homies, i'm just exhausted. work's been insane and i've been html coding for the past 4 hours.
click on the monkey for some html tips.
peace out,
the blogmaster

YAY! You can finally see more than 1 blog per page... I like the layout.. nice change... just all we need now is a pic!
Anywayz, since I haven't blogged in almost a week, I just had to share my vegas trip with Ariel, Michelle and Christine: Can I just say LUCKY? As far as what we did that weekend,
On friday, we ended up going to old town vegas where we got to eat lots of food at a buffet place and then went to GAMBLE... we saw an open crap table with no one there so we went up to them and asked them to teach us.... there we stayed for like 5 hours.. playing $2 craps... ooh so much fun.. and can I say Christine was the lucky lady... she rolled like over 20 times... and people started donating.. literally donating money to her and better on her behalf... talk about incentives and luck.. she was the lucky one that day...
On saturday, we shopped countless hours at Primm Valley going buckwild at all the outlets... (Christine was the big shopper with over 3 bags of clothes/accessories).... then we went on a casino/rollercoaster place nearby and that was so much fun... I rode on a wanna be drop zone all by myself (since none of the other 3 wanted to ride with me).... and then we rode the rollercoaster that emcompassed the casino.. talk about some scary ride.. it literally had a vertical drop that was one of the steepest I've ever ridden on... we also got free tickets to ride the rollercoaster at NY NY but we ran out of time....
On Saturday night, We also went to RA at Luxor... Now b/c the clubs' wall our made out of stone... the room was actually nice and cool (compated to the 102 degrees outside everyday)... the music was good except for one thing: THE DJ... he basically said something every 10 seconds and ruined our rhythm... it was hideous.. he'd go.. where my asian at? where are my la people? where are my san diego people? where are my arizona people??/ I was like when are you going to shut the F*cK up.... but anyway... it turned into trance which in turn got us a reason to leave... overall a good experience for me considering this was my first la club..
On Sunday, we went out to the pool and got tanned (well the other three tried to get tanned, I just got darker).... It was so hot, I stayed in the pool the whole time.. my fingers were literally prunes... later that day, we got massages/facials over at the Luxor Spa... First time again for me... it felt so good... I didn't realize how relaxing and refreshing it can be....
On sunday night, We also got to watch "O" at the bellagio... 2nd row center!! Now, they said the tickets were wet seats... little did we know that we'd get splashed on by the performers.. (not doused but just enough to be wet the entire night)....I must say O is one hella of a show.. this tops all other Cirque shows I've seen (varekai, dralion, and mystere). Everything is in water and they do some crazy diving stunt in that small stage.. it's simply breathtaking...
Monday was get out of bed and ready for home..after a very eventful weekend, I was about to checkout when the unexpected happen.. The hotel had comped 2 of the 3 nights!!! Instead of paying over 200 for the weekend we paid 60!!! Now w/ four people you do the math and you know what it equals: cheap!
Ok that's enough for me now.. I"m all vegased out...

SOUTH CITY!
HOW SWEET IT IS TO BE HOME SWEET HOME.
Here I am, back from my six-year long vacation in Davis to rekindle old friendships and start new ones. How the hell are yall doing out there folks? I feel like I'm starting anew. The sun is out, the birds are singing, and my fat dog is snoring right behind me. Ahhh, there's just no place like home.
So whoever said that trying to move all your shit when you have a terrible hangover is easy is actually quite mistaken. After a long night of partying with some of my closest Davis pals on Friday night, I woke up the next morning at 6:30 AM wanting to trade my body in for a sober person's one. Just for the day. Just until the headache and nausea and tired off my ass feeling went away. My room was filled with crap, but none of that crap was in moving boxes just yet. My slacker ass barely packed a single thing and now I was paying the price. But was it all worth the night of heavy duty partying like there's no tomorrow? Hell yeah.
The future is uncertain, but my fingers are primed and ready to type the new adventures that are bound to come my way. I just hope those adventures come without the alcohol because I just don't know how much more my liver can endure.
Here's hoping to see all your fine asses soon,
~Taft
P.S. What's with the one big picture (with only four members of the 3rd floor shown, by the way) taking up all the space, allowing only one blog to be seen per page?

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??
Sylvia - So where do you go running?? are you planning on doing another marathon
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 =)
Ok I think I'm out for now.... Off to vegas with Ariel, michelle, and christine this weekend.. will let you know how it all turns out =)

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)
