Time to shake the dust off this here blog. Hellooooo, is this thing on??
{{insert crickets chirping. chrip chirp.}}
Is anyone, anyone, out there, there.......
{{insert echoing voice and a lone haystack rolling in the wind}}

Glad to see Phil and Reeg's efforts in trying to resuscitate (sp??) this thing.

Out of curiosity (and boredom) I decided to go through the archives to see what we were all up to exactly one year ago (can you believe this blog will be 2 years old come may?). I like that the archives can be viewed so easily. It's like a time warp reading those old blogs. Last year around this time, the college bball games were going on of course, I just finished the last of my classes in davis, ed blogged of his puppy adventures, and regan told an "explicit" tale involving him, jeff, and bertha (a must read).

anyhow, that's all i really wanted to say. read those archives. i'm gonna send out an evite in late may inviting everyone to pay our blog a visit and wish it a happy birthday.

lates,

TOP 10 THINGS PHIL WILL BE WATCHING THIS WEEK

Now that reality TV is in FULL SWING, these are my top 10 shows to be watching (note: some are not reality shows but are worthy enough to be in my top 10 list). Happy New Year Everyone.


10. Real World: San Diego (tuesday 10pm on MTV) - The location sucks, so they must chosen drama people to make up for it... So far they have a big boob girl, a boataphobia girl, and a black guy who's sensitive that no one seems to focus their attention on him... this week supposedly girls kiss girls , and this guys shows his penis
9. Charmed (sunday 8 or 9pm) - Can't get enough of the awesome three... I still want Shannon Doherty to be back on the show, but Rose McGowan has done a pretty good job as a substitue
8. The Gaunlet Finale (Monday 10pm) : Finally we will see if Coral or Sarah's lame ass will cause their respective teams to lose.
7 Bachelorette (wednesday 9-10): Oh Meredith, who will you choose, can you please pick the black guy or the hockey player or the slipper guys, those were all good choices.. I could care less for the rest of them...
6 Days of Our Lives (Weekdays 3-4 NBC) yes, I tape this show everyday now, I love this salem stalker thing... it's like a who-dun-it...
5 America's Top Model (Tuesdsay 9-10 UPN): OOOH Season 2 has just started, everyone start watching it!!
4 The Apprentice: (wednesday 8-9) You're fired!! I think I just watch the show to hear those two words, I use to like Odessa (whatever her name is, but she's is too pretentious)
3 Celeberity Mole: (wednesday 10-11) Rudy is the mole. It's way too obvious... anyone disagree, share with me your theories. Also, this is too late of a timeslot for this awesome show to get any ratings
2 Survivor All-Stars: (thursday, 1st episode Feb 1 after the superbowl) Can't wait to see who creates the newest alliance..My favorites to win: Jenna (1st survivor, Alicia, Colby)
1 American Idol: 3 episodes this week (Jan 19,20,21), I can't handle it!! .. I can't wait to see who makes it.. oooh whoa whoa.....

Hey party people, how's it hangin? Hope everyone's getting excited about the dinner. I'll be giving you all a call sometime soon to confirm what exactly you're bringing. Thanks to those that have responded to the evite. And to those who I've talked to and I know you're coming, I went ahead and responded for you. Oh the power of evite's host options.

Everyone should check out Phil in action at his volleyball games (I think they start up again in Feb? Ask Phil). Christine, Michelle, Ariel and I went to cheer his team on as they won their league championship. Go Mervyn's! I think Captain Phil's the only one who ever brings his own cheering squad. But I'm sure Phil will post sometime soon to give the details of the match (hint, hint), so keep an eye out for that.

Reeg, I'm waiting to hear about your adventures in Cancun. When you gonna update your blog?

TiffL - I agree on the Brit can't sing part, but dang the girl can dance her butt off. I think the Britney media storm will calm down now that her album's out. I actually enjoyed some of these "exclusive" interviews, but it's definitely time for the media to focus on someone else now.

9 days til the dinner, but more importantly (sort of, at least to me) 4 days til the 2003 MLS Cup, live on ABC at 12:30. San Jose vs. Chicago, the best matchup in the history of the league. Wish I could be there in person to watch. Viewing party at my house for some Sunday afternoon futbol action.

GO QUAKES!

fooooorrrtttyyyyyyy niners!

Only 10 more days til our after-turkey-day debacle! Wooohoo! Taft said we can bring our drink of choice so I will bring sparkling apple cider and hot chocolate. No alcohol for me since I am still recovering from the Halloween party, which I really don’t remember too much of. But hey, that’s the definition of a good party, right =)

Sorry I couldn’t make it to your v-ball game Phil, or shall I say Champion Phil?!?!? Hey, if you really want to get rid of some of your clothes, we can go to a swap party together. You bring clothes to trade with other people. I’m not sure if they’ll be a lot of men’s clothes but I can check. The party is on Dec 8th if anyone else is interested.

Biggest grip for the week: Why is Britney Spears on every freakin channel every freakin night? Talk about horroring herself to the media. I understand that she wants to promote her new album after such a long break but jesus, its too much. If I have to see another “exclusive interview” with her, I’m gonna puke. That BIATCH (who can't see or write songs) needs to go.

Best thing that has happened this week so far: 49ERS!!!!! After the first half of the season, I thought that we wouldn’t have a chance to make it to the playoffs. But Rattay and the defense are stepping up, giving us a shot for a postseason run. GOD, I LOVE FOOTBALL.

On a similar note, my thumb got jammed playing football on Sunday. Didn’t know thumbs were so important until now. Can’t really hold a pen properly, or put my hair up, or change gears in my car, or use my remote. Geez, its been tough. But I think I will make it.

So I will see everyone next week. Have a wonderful Tuesday and rest of the week =)

Adieu!
Tiff

A FulPhilling Weekend

Hello Everyone....

I figured I'd post and amuse all you voyeur bloggers out there... I have officially started heaven and ended my hell at Mervyn's... Yes Phil has been promoted and have MUCH more time on my hands.... I can actually surf the web and actually say "I'm done" and feel accomplished... No more weekends for me!!!!! Whoopie!!!! Hopefully the job I have will keep me busy though b/c otherwise I'll dose off.... And for those of you who dont' know.. I have been officially diagnosed with Sleep Apnea... Yes... I did some home test with a breathing machine and they have said I am abnormal.... so it explains my super loud snoring plus my reasons why I am always so sleeping in the day.... Anyway just had to share... Went to Ed's Dim-Sum free-lunch congratulations you made it.. lunch.... The food was great, the company was awesome as well.. however I was a bit disappointed in not winning anything (everyone knows what a gambler I am).... anyway.... it was nice seeing everyone and just made me realize how much older we have all gotten over the years... *Sigh*... now Tiff's having her usual feast again... how many have we had???? Also have we all thought about the white elephant gift exchange?? Are we going to have it again with only our group of friends or are we going to have it with all of us and all of our other friends.... just wondering.... Anyone willing to host that one??? I figured I'd ge the ball rolling....and also how bout that garage sale... tiff???? you still interested?? I haven't heard your response it... Ok see you all later

PHIL

GARAGE SALE GARAGE SALE

Ok everyone,
PHil has returned to blogging... by popular demand I have decided to blog especially now that I will start my new job on monday and have lots more time on my hands.. Also, I wanted to start the initiative about getting a garage sale going.. I think Tiff mentioned she might be cool to have it at her place.. I am so down!! How bout you all.. before the rainy season starts.... what does everyone think...??

thanks all for everyone who came to my b-day.... see those of you who are going to anthony's!!!

I highly recommend that everyone check out the archives, the really old ones. For some reason, the links weren't working before. But today was my lucky day and I got completely sucked in to the very entertaining blogs of the old days. Anyway I just had to pull out this little gem I found, thanks to rapmaster Jeff. Dated back to Sunday January 13, 2003, back before he was ever a Metrosexual, he had his hit single "Ante Up".......

Jefe, spit mad game but been deprived of sects, call up all the hotties in my Rola-dex, of cards we can play strip POKER, naked girls run round cuz I possess the JOKER, quite sexy with nothing on but their chokers, taking off my shirt ain't no prob cuz I'm so buff, I keep it STRAIGHT...no need to BLUFF. Girls arses in my face all night long...I'm all in a hush, I can't wait to get my next FLUSH, not 1 but 2000 of them, puffing the mj straight from the stem, puff puff give you f-ing up the rotation, my originality leads to straight imitation.

Chorus/hook:
Ante up, ante up, let the chips reign down
Ante up, ante up, vegas is my town
Ante up, ante up, gonna build up my pride
Ante up, ante up, let it ride, let it ride!

Cruising down the Strip in my drop down jeepney, escalades and navis pass me up cuz i can only go fifty, digging the girls like they dig my gold, too many breasts for my one hand to hold, one hand on the phone one hand on the silicone, press the magic button to hear the girls moan.
But back to the game, the girls yell HIT ME with every hand, but lucky am I to always STAND, PAT on my back, KINGS coming up STRAIGHT with the JACKS, ROYAL FLUSH I throw down...pow pow! Give me my skrill...PAI GOW PAI GOW! Am I a STUD or am I a STUD?
The same is said for the rest of the hands, clothes coming off and all the skrill I be stealing, pulling up ACE after ACE, phat hands I'm revealing, looking around at my girls I ask myself...do they dig me for my thug appeal or my POKER face?

Now that's some classic stuff. Think I'm gonna start pulling some noteworthy quotes out of the old blogs. Maybe that'll get the party started in here again. Or maybe not, we'll see.

Hola mi amigos!! Yay for Tiff keeping the blog alive. What a trooper. Wow Halloween's already tomorrow and I can't wait to see what to see everyone's costumes.

I originally posted all of this on my blog (::Breakfast at Tiffany's:: - shameless plug, yes I know). But I just had to share with everyone, since apparently Reeg and Sylv are the only ones who venture out to read my blog. Sad face. Pity plug, yes I know. Anyhoo, with the Niners having so much trouble in the kicking department, it looks like they'll have to take a hint or two from the soccer world. Read on....

From the San Francisco Chronicle
::How about soccer kicker? / QB Garcia suggest Donovan::
From the San Jose Mercury News
::Hey, Niners, Donovan hit a 60-yarder::

I'd pay good money to see Landon Donovan in a football uniform. But that's just me. Anyway, I just wanted to chime in and say hi to any 3rd floor blogspot dwellers. It's been so long since I last posted that I almost forgot the ID and password. Hope to see everyone tomorrow night.
