Memorial Day Weekend

Well, it was a busy week but i doesn't end there. Our business hardly ever takes a break during the summer. We also have a Quincenera this weekend. Anyway , Memorial weekend was good, but we weren't in town on Saturday so of course i don't know how well that went. As for Saturday, i was there helping my mom while she took the stage to represent the Hispanic People of Coalinga for the Hispanic Night in Derby.
It was a complete success!
We broke the previous record we held last year, the crowd who came to see many of the local bands perform was incredible. We had so much fun, i had the privilege to be backstage and meet some band members and including Legendary Mexican musician Ernesto of Vennus.
I also got to take pictures with them and talk to them. I also got to meet two of the most prominent Radio Personalities of San Joaquin Valley, Velia Irene and Javier Solis, both whom represent the Radio Station La Preciosa.
Both where recognized at the event and were given commemorative Plaques with there names on them.
Is the Coalinga Board Chamber lucky to have my mother on board?!

Well yesterday , me and my mom went to Fresno to meet with Javier Solis at the radio station. My mom had the opportunity to speak with Javier about the success of Hispanic night at Derby. While she was handling her business, i sat in the live talk from KRZR Rock Station of Fresno. and yes of course ,i got my time to speak live on air about Slipknot's Paul Gray. amazing , right?!

It was great,my mom is in the process of building the schedule for Fiestas Patrias which will fall in September 11,2010. I can't wait!

June 7 is the start of summer school :D i will be taking Nutrition , Psychology and Math classes. After i successfully complete my nutrition class with a satisfaction, i plan on joining my mom's Amway group. come August, i will be working as an Athletic Trainer Assistant to the Football program here at West Hills College. Ahh one more year and I'm off to Fresno Pacific!!!!

Wedding at Pismo Beach

so this weekend is going to be insane! my mother is board director of the city chamber of commerce and has been given the privilege once again to organize the hispanic night on sunday of the Coalinga Horned Toady Derby. This will be her second year and she will be bringing much fun and entertainment to the city. Radio Station La Preciosa will be in town with DJ La Ley and Velia Irene, the most prominent Radio Personalities in San Joaquin Valley.
My Mother also happens to be a business women, owning her own flowershop, she has been very diligent with her time to dedicate to both the community and her business. This week we find ourselves in pismo for one great wedding! we will be here from Friday til Sunday Morning. Since sunday is Mexican Night we should be back in time for the event, the party doesn't start til 12am.
This will be one busy weekend , but i promise myself that i would find time to blog about it, since i don't have much to say most of the time. I will also be filming for the weekend. It should be an interesting video to watch once it's been done and modified.
So friday , we were in charge of finishing the reception decorations. Let me tell you , wedding's are always a hassel to do! But i love it , i learn more and more everyday. My Mother is amazing! i just can't put to words what she can do , she's a very creative person , and her work is always done perfectly. So far everyone is pleased with her work. After finishing the Hall we headed down to Pismo to eat at Chela's Restaurant which is right across fromt he famous Splash Cafe. ( well according to me its famous)
Tommorrow will be another continuous day of what we started today, im planning to wake up early to film and take pictures of the early time at the beach. I think it's amazing being out here. i love it!
So tommorrow's going to be a big day, the wedding. Transport all arraingments to and from the church and to the reception hall, then dine, then crash to bed! It's a small list, but you have no idea how much work is put into this business.
I'm also hoping that we have a good turnout for the Hispanic Night. My mom has worked so hard and i hope everyone can appreciate the time she has put into it. Although i do agree we should have brought a band with a bit more reggae to the music ;) im sorry , but i love to dance! haha. Speaking of which, i've been listeing to Lady GaGa song Telephone, haha! i've probably played it throughout my way to coailinga. well its' late i should conclude my blog for todady, hopefully tomorrow will be another good day, Adieus!
(:

Do they even care?

I saw my father last week after a 2 month silence we had. I love my father, he's a good guy , sometimes i can get out of hand you know. anway, while we had dinner at Rubio's Restuarant , his apartment was on the course of getting burglarized. His laptop was stolen , his living room, some kitchen items went missing as well. But c'mon man , his laptop?
I would know how valualble that is, since i have one of my own. those are expensive and very hard to replace, depending what you had in there too. well for him he had all his music on there. which he used for his night job as a DJ.
i was exasperated when i heard the news. Like seriously, what good do you get from stealing from others?
Since February a close family member had stolen atleast more than $3,000.00 of money and jewelery. my parents really need that money and we worked hard for it so that someone else can take the pleasure to spend it how they want it? fuck no!
I've had things stolen from my persona , but im very careful about that now. Since i got into the photography business, i had my own expensive nikon ( if that thing was to be stolen , that would be one of many irresplaceable items) and camcorder which i create my awesome videos which is worth more than $300.00 and my laptop ( with all programs installed and minus the years its been in use ) about $350.00 but still very valuable.
I carry very important things in my laptop, like my pictures. The one's from many weddings, family trips, when me and my sister went to Puerto Rico, and hey myself. Not that i have very personal stuff in there is just that, can you seriously trust anyone with your personal belongings?
Man, having somethings stolen from you feels like being violated , seriously! ( lol)
Of course, my father doesn't live in the most pleasant neighboorhood, but i think we should consider moving to a location with less crime.

why i fucken love slipknot

well it started last year in summer that i actually started listening to Heavy Metal. Slipknot was my first encounter. man i will admit, i was pretty scared. But that rush you get listening to their music was insane. all this started with this boy. It was a minor crush. He liked slipknot and rock music, so i decided to give it a try, you know, try to like the smiliar things so " we can have something in common." well yeah i did that but after listening to their music, i just feel in love.
well love is a very odd word to use in such genre of music. When i got back from puerto rico, i was sooo psyched to know they were coming to fresno. Yes, my first rock concert. ;)
Words can't describe how fucken amazing that concert was, and weirdly i got upclose with Paul Gray at the concert, yepp, he walked right pass me.
well i was shocked to find out he passed away, i still don't know what the press are saying or what they assume was the cause of death.
i didn't take any pictures but i was able to get a video of the concert. although i had seat tickets the video actually has pretty good view of it all.
Yes seat tickets, i truely do regret having to buy those when i could have gone for the floor tickets. Why? cause the concert was just that insane. Note here: you just can't go to a slipknot concert without having to jump like a fucken maniac.
Well since Slipknot has said they are going to release a new ablum in 2012, they will be in a brief hiatus. so , what do we expect from here til then?

Rainbow Wahine softball team whips Fresno St. to win WAC title

Hawai'i hammered five home runs in a 14-3 win against Fresno State to capture its first Western Athletic Conference tournament championship today in Las Cruces, N.M., earning an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament.

Kaia Parnaby (19-6) went the distance, allowing three runs and six hits for the Rainbows (44-13) in a game called after five innings because of the league's mercy rule.


The Rainbows sent nine batters to the plate in stormring to a 6-0 lead in the top of the first. Kelly Majam, the WAC tournament most valuable player, ignited the inning by leading off the game with her nation-leading 28th home run of the season to center and Amanda Taualii capped it with a grand slam to center.


Hawai'i tacked on four in the second on a two-run double from Jenna Rodriguez and two-run home run by Alex Aguirre to make it 10-0. That chased FSU starter Mackenzie Oakes (11-8), who was charged with 10 runs (nine earned) in 1 1/3 innings for the Bulldogs (39-19).


The Rainbows added a run in the third on a two out, bases-loaded hit batsman by Aguirre.


Hawai'i made it 12-0 on a two out, solo home run by Traci Yoshikawa in the fourth inning.


Melissa Gonzalez joined the home run binge with a two-run shot to center in the fifth to make it 14-0 and increase the Rainbow Wahine's NCAA season home run record to 141.


Gonzalez was named to the WAC all-tournament team, along with Katie Grimes and Jessica Iwata.

Andrea Ortega's three-run, two out homer to center pulled FSU to 14-3 in the bottom of the seventh.

The Rainbow Wahine will find out who will be their first-round opponent when the field is announced at 4 p.m. Hawai'i time tomorrow on ESPNU.
