Yay! We are finally moving out! I am soo excited. No more 1.5 hour commutes, no more living out of a bag, and no more smooching off of Darren's parents :) Yes, Darren and i will be moving in together. We figured that it wouldn't be a big deal since I have to see the guy ALL THE TIME anyways. I mean I've lived with him before and I'm sure I can do it again. AND it's not like I'm having to live with only him. I mean if that was the case you might as well consider us married. No, we will be moving in with our good friends Ray and Dan. We have lived with Ray before and Dan was at our house so much, he might as well been called a roommate.
THE JOURNEY TO FINDING A PLACE CALLED HOME
The four of us went on a serious house hunt for about a week. We ended up looking at about 5 different places. The first place we went to was an apartment community right across the street from my work. Darren, Dan and I were on time. We decided not to wait for Ray and just start talking to the leasing lady. Ray came in about 10 minutes after we did and I'm pretty sure the first thing he noticed was how gorgeous she was. At first I wasn't sure if Ray was even going to live with us but after he saw her I think he was convinced. She took us around and showed us everything we wanted to see: The 24 hour gym, pool with cabanas, club house, BBQs, on-off switch community outdoor fireplace, a two bedroom model, and the 24 HOUR INDOOR BASKETBALL COURT. Needless to say we were pretty impressed. The place was pretty pricey and we thought it would be a good idea to check out what else was available.
Ooooo I hate this place: The second place we went to was close but further down the street. I would definitely have to take the lightrail. This place was cheaper which was a plus, so I was excited to see what they had to offer. We walk in and the guy (who only greeted us when I walked into their office and made my presence clear) told me in a queer voice to, "Please wait in the waiting area, I just need to finish this real quick and I will help you." So right off the bat I could tell Ray was not as impressed with this place based on the leasing man/women. We saw the pool (with no cabanas) the gym (that closed at 10pm), and a two bedroom model ( with a walk in closet that was more like two closets and a hall way to the bathroom). Other events happened at this place which I'm not going to go into detail. As you can tell we DID NOT LIKE IT. So right after we concluded that it was not worth the saved money.
Clean FOB house: The next place we went to was a 4 bedroom townhouse really close to Great America. We walk in and the first thing I smell was shitake mushrooms. The house smelled pretty Asian. The owners mother greeted us and went straight into business. She explained that they bought this house new in two-zero-zero-two. The place was really nice with lots of common area space. The kitchen was pretty big and the garage was pretty big. The one thing that worried me was she really kept stressing how they really want clean tenants. She also kept telling us how everything was new because they hardly use it. The rooms were pretty small but livable . She showed use each room and all were REALLY clean except for the ROOMATE!!! He was SUCH A PIG! I mean it looked like he didn't vacuum that week and there was some stuff on the floor. But compared to the rest of the house this guy was a big. We left keeping this place in mind. The master bedroom was GIGANTIC compared to the other rooms and having a garage would be nice. But the place would be hard to keep THAT clean and it smelled totally Chinese.. Like moldy towels or something.. you know that Chinese smell.
Nice House but Dan's car might not make it up the hill: The next place we went to was a 3 bd/3.5 bath house. It was three levels and REALLY nice. HUGE KITCHEN , great appliances . I mean one downside is one of the bedrooms is like on the bottom floor right next to the garage and the rooms weren't that big. But overall the place was really nice! The Biggest thing about it was it was pretty far from where the majority of us worked and in order to get there you have to drive up this pretty big hill. Dan was afraid his car wouldn't be able to make that drive everyday. There were also a lot of people interested and we figured we couldn't beat a couple in getting the home.
I am not longer interested I know where I want to live: So one of the last places we checked out was an apartment community that looked nice from the outside. But we checked it out after we went back to the first place and saw the 3 bdrm apartment and fell in love with it. Needless to say we already decided on where we wanted to live but wanted to keep looking to see what else was out there. Like I said the community looked really nice from the outside but when we went to see the apartment that was not the case. Darren said that the outside community was about 25 times nicer then inside the apartments.
So our verdict is the community across the street from my work. Just a short walk away. We move in August 24th so COME VISIT!! Ohh.. did I mention that you can get pool side massages in the summer? Yes, I'm excited. I have a new home..

FAKE
First I would like to say I do not want to talk about Baron Davis. So please do not try writing on my wall or leaving me comments about the matter.
Right now ALL I've been thinking about is the word FAKE. Okay this is all I'm going to say.. Baron was running around all over the bay telling everyone that he was going to stay and wouldn't opt out. So, he's a fake. BOOO to him.
Moving on... to fake boobies... I mean I understand that in this day and age "looks" mean a lot. But haven't we all been told its whats inside that matters? haha I know thats crap. I can understand a couple of reason's to get fake boobies:
1. Your sick, you have cancer and they're going to cut off your boob's. When this happens I can totally understand why women would want to have surgery. Losing your boobies is like losing your femininity .
2. Your fat, like big boned and you have NO BOOBIES. I feel bad for these people. I mean thats not fair.
If you're a tiny women and have no boobies I can kinda see that as normal. I mean boobies are made of mostly fat. So if you have no fat you wont have boobies.

Tired.... when will it end?
I AM SOOOOOOO TIRED from the weekend. Man... I am getting way too old to be going out and staying up at all hours of the night. I think that I have some kind of disease or something. I seriously will just fall asleep wherever whenever I'm tired.

THREE PLUS in Concert!
The night started off at Devin's restaurant. Ocean Blue Sushi Club on El Camino. It's not much of a club it really just a restaurant with nice decorations and fancy toilets. Anyways, Devin promised promised promised me that if we went there then we would get a free bottle of Sake. The big bottles. There ended up being about 12 of us and Devin's restaurant LIED. In order to get the free bottle we needed to buy two bottles to get the 3rd one free. Okay... way to lie to your business. I think its going to take a little more to get us to come next time. The food was good.. You know the normal Korean Sushi and Sashimi. Actually the sashimi is really good. We got a $50 and I think Travis, Mark and I ate up all the Uni. YUM!
Moving onto the concert. So I didn't think the concert was going to be HUGE since it was at a club that was located in a strip mall on Lawrence Expressway. I was smart and got my tickets a week in advanced online through sunjose.com. I was also a very nice gf and got tickets for not only Darren but also his brother, brothers friend and two cousins. Not only am I a nice gf but I'm also a nice sister and friend b/c I got tickets for Michelle and Ray also. So while we were eating at Ocean Blue, Devin gets a call from Reid that all the tickets were SOLD OUT!! So now I'm thinking I'm really smart for getting my tickets early. We get there while the opening band was playing. Run and get drinks then move up to right in front of the stage where Reid was standing. Pretty much once we got there we didn't move. The second band, Aloha Brewed was REALLY good. Michelle pretty much loved whoever was standing right in front of her and had to take a picture with each of them. The night was filled with LOTs of dancing and Lots of singing. Three Plus came out and everyone was singing, dancing and sweating hahahaha... It was definitely a fun night and I think everyone really enjoyed themselves. Actually I know they did. They ended up playing until about 1:30am. I'm not going to lie. I started to become REALLY tired near the end. I started to put my head on Darren's shoulders and would close my eyes and sway to the music. I really need to work on that. Needless to say as SOON as we got home I fell asleep on the chair. I think it took me a good 1.5 seconds to fall into a deep sleep.

Tysons 1st Birthday Party
So Darren's Nephew has turned 1 and the family planned a birthday party at the house. If I were to guess how many people were there I would say 60. So Saturday I woke up pretty early to set up decorations and help wherever I could. I'm not going to lie I was a little hungover. The nice thing is that Darren's Mom does NOT stress out at all for parties. Its probably the complete opposite of my mother. I wanted to help more and I thought there was a lot of things to do but there wasn't. Which was actually really good b/c I was hungover. The party was great, the weather was great and having a pool is great. I went swimming for a little bit but again I got really tired. There were times I would sit there in my chair and just close my eyes for a few seconds to make myself feel better. Finally I just said whatever, and went to bed. I think I slept for a good 2.5 hours. I don't know whats wrong with me. Because later that night around 9 I fell asleep again and then slept for another like 12 hours.
Sunday June 29, 2008
AHHH REFRESHED!!! I felt so much better on Sunday. Totally more awake. Darren and I started off by visiting his Auntie Di who couldn't make it to the party. We then went to play basketball. OKAY I always complain about how I want to play more ball and how I never get to and blah blah blah.. So we go play with Darren's team. Who are like big white dudes. 1. I'm like a girl 2. It was FREAKIN' Hot. So I played two games left to get gatoride and a slurpee and then played the last one. I sat out for a good like 5 games when I got the slurpee though and I was still super tired. I hate playing in the heat. I was planning on heading back to Oakland this day but decided to stay and hang out with Mark for his last night, eat dinner and watch P.S I Love you.
The move was pretty good. It was really sad and all I could think about was my cousin Yogi who passed away earlier this year. I really miss her. I didnt get to finish the whole movie because Darren's cousins came over to drink with Mark on his last night in town. UHHH so the tiredness continues. We ended up drinking until like 1:45. Well I drank till like 1 and then sneaked out to go to sleep. And now I'm at work.. Tired AGAIN!!! I think I'm going to go home early.. like right now... okay, till next time.

Drakes
First I just have to say I got yelled at for taking so long to blog. I was told I'm a horrible blogger!
Yay! We wont the SHIP!! The friendship game that is. I didn't expect greatness but I do think our team has the potential. I mean we didn't have two key players this weekend. Michi was playing with her old owls team and Kat was in Washington.
Our first game we played against a team from LA called Who Nu. We totally BLEW-IT! At one point we were up by 15 points and we had a 10 pt lead with 2 minutes to go. Yes, we beat ourselves. The game ended up going into overtime and the weakest plalyer on their team ends up scoring this panicked 3 pointer. SO WEAK!!!! It's okay we'll get them next time.
The second game we played against my old Diablo team. We got killed. They beat us on the 3 and our match ups were horrible. But the thing that pissed me off the most was at the end of the game and I had the ball and one of my old teammates (JENNY, hahah I like her) runs me over and takes out my leg. Totally disjoints my knee. NO CALL! When I went up to the ref after the play he tells me how she knocks the ball out of my hands. I'm sorry NO, my knee F*&^%) HURTS! So when I tell him he goes, "Oh" and walks away. That GOD DAMN F()&*N ASSHOLE!! As my dad would say, " It's okay, people like that are going to die!!!" For some reason whenever I rethink those words it makes me feel a lot better! hahaha...
For the last game there isn't much to say. We killed them by 38. For the weekend I played pretty well. On saturday I was 100% from the freethrow line and 11 for 13 total. Not too shabby. I'm sure sore though. I'm going to need to take a nice HOT bath and get some Ice for the knee... Man I'm getting old.
