RAW. IS. JERIC(HO).

So I get off of work and my phone has been flooded with text message from Jeric! LOL! He's outside of my work with Marky.. and we're picking up tickets to RAW! Woohoo!

The tickets were $28 each and seats were up in section 439. Yup, nosebleeds. Honestly the seats weren't too bad. As for RAW, it was aite. Best part was when Roman Reigns interrupts Rollins' eulogy for Ambrose and beats the crap out of him, but before he can spear him, corporate Kane pulls him out of the ring. Booo. And then, they decide to force him into a handicap match. Which was also awesome!

The main event, was meh. It was Cena.. and we're not a fan. Hahaha. Not only was it Cena, but they had a buncha irrelevant wrestlers in a 6 man tag team match.

Jeric says.. waste of monies. I thought it fun! Roman Reigns was worth it! Of course, this doesn't beat my first time to RAW.. The Rock came back! Yah, that definitely sets the bar way high.

Mid Week Girly Fun!

Gen texted me and said that there’s a possible girly hang out after work on Wed (August 20th). She asked if I was down. I was a maybe, but after work I decided to go. It’s been awhile since I’ve hung out with the gals.

It only ended up being me, Gen and Joan. Just as great though. Especially since I haven’t seen Joan since our birthday hangout! That was in April!

Our plan was to head out with Joan as she picked up a check from someone, grab some Half & Half boba and then dinner at Din Tai Fung! We also had Jonah’s boys with us who are always fun to watch.

I’ve never had Half & Half before. I must say. Way delicious! So much so that I killed my drink before we got to Din Tai Fung! LOL.

When we got to Din Tai Fung, we totally were not expecting it to be busy! Since, you know, middle of the week.. late night.. people have work tomorrow. But nope, still busy! 45 minute wait! Boooo! We ended up just ordering to go, which was a 20 minute wait. So you can imagine. If we ate there.. 45 minutes to be seated and another 20 minutes to get our food. And then we’d eat and chat so that would be another 30 minutes to an hour! Yah, not gonna happen.

The food was yum! Thanks for a fun time gals!

PS.. missing the rest of you girlies!

WWE Summer Slam

I became a wrestling fan because Jeric got me into it. Hahaha. I was a bit into it while we were dating, but now that we’re married and we live together, we watch the same things and so, I became an avid watcher of Monday night Raw, Friday night Smackdown and all the pay per views! And I became a real fan! Engrossed in all the drama.. shocked by all the betrayals.. amazed by all the finishers!

And last Sunday (August 17th) was my first time watching a PPV event live! I have been to Raw years ago (which was way fun, the Rock came back that time!) But never have I been to one of their PPV’s. Definitely excited!

The crowd was fun. Not as crazy as expected, but they did chant at times. And I had fun chanting with them.

The best match was the Lumberjack match! Sadly, no broken tables. And apparently there should’ve been one. They had 3 announcer tables out there and according to the guys, there’s usually only 2. Also, the 3rd table was for German announcers. Yah, the guys thought one table would be broken for sure. But, nope. Just a teaser!

The guys were a bit disappointed, but it was still fun!

Afterwards we headed out for dinner. We went to Kariya, which is this spot that has both Shabu Shabs and KBBQ! What? YUP! It’s out in Artesia, off of Norwalk and South. Good stuff!

Samoza “Housewarming”

Many of the Samoza’s wanted to see our new home. So we had them over last Saturday (8/16/14). We did want to actually cook something, but we totally had no time to prepare. We ended up catering from Panda Express, which was actually just enough food! Everyone that came also brought goodies with them. We had monkey bread, biko, puto, turon, empanadas, watermelon.. and more that I can’t remember.

The kiddos all took a dip in our pool along with a few of the adults. The rest of us just hung out and chit chatted.

Jeric put on old home videos for them to watch as well. He had a vid from his and Ivan’s 3rd birthday. The funniest part was when his mom and aunt’s saw themselves. They went up into crazy hysterical screeches! It was hilarious! They were squealing because of their old hairdo’s and the clothes they were wearing. Hahaha.

We didn’t have many pictures, but we did have a vid (edited by the hubby) of the kiddos in the pool!

Enjoy!

Chewy's Surgey

So, I went to my parent’s house one day and since I was there for awhile, I played with Chewy (my very first dog that was completely mine.. Jeric got her for me back in 2002). Anyhow, while we were playing I wanted a picture of her and wanted her to sit still. So I went to pick her up and that’s when I saw it. Large mass on her chest. We’re talking bigger than a golf ball here. I was so devastated.

The next day we took her to the vet immediately.

Luckily the Dr. said that she’s still very strong and can handle surgery. And that was all we needed to hear. We scheduled her surgery for the next day and left poor Chewy Bluey there over night. We also scheduled her for dental cleaning as well as spaying her (she was still producing milk!).

The next day was great news. The Dr. said she probably has quite a bit more mileage left in her. Apparently she was mighty feisty. LOL. They also did find two masses, both were cut out and thankfully neither of them had spread. They ended up being Stage I Carcinoma. Poor baby.

(current update)

Her cone is off, her wounds have healed and she is the Queen of doggies. LOL. She puts Derp in his place. Which is as it should be. Queens > Kings! Hahaha. I kid I kid. Seriously though. She barks at him and right now, he knows she means business and is actually respectful of her. We’ll see how long that lasts though.

Oh yah, we decided to keep her with us. I miss her! And now I can have her roam around as much as I want. Our home, our rules!

TMNT

TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) was a definite must watch for us. Yes, we know, Michael Bay is probably gonna totally butcher the movie. But still, you can’t have TMNT as part of your childhood and not watch the movie!

The Verdict

It wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t great. The effects were just too much like Transformers. It’s like, common, pay homage to old school TMNT! And then there were the voice-overs. Johnny Knoxville? Really? You couldn’t do any better? *ROLL ‘EM!* And Master Splinter sounds waaaay too young. He’s supposed to have plenty of age in his voice! Gaaaah. And of course there’s Megan Fox. You are no April O’Neil! Such horrible acting. Yes, she has a pretty face. But c’mon, there’s other girls with pretty faces but with far more superb skills at acting.

Then there’s the storyline. Nothing at all like the original.

Definitely disappointing, but not by much since we already expected it to be meh.

There is a part 2 by the way! And yes, we are still watching it. Hahahaha.
