I'm a curse to the SF Giants!

As everyone knows, I'm not big on spectator sports. My father wasn't big into sports either, so the tradition just passed down to me. Perhaps the only thing we'll watch is the Superbowl, Baseball's World Series, NBA Finals, the Daytona 500, etc. Only the final games that make world champion history is what we watch. Other than that, we can only name the professional sports stars that we hear in news media....from either good or bad news. Honestly, it's probably better that I don't get into watching sports, because I get really into watching the game. I start screaming, cheering, booing, etc....all the important qualities of being a fan. People have told me, I'm a bit too loud.

Ever since the San Francisco Giants started at their new ballpark, I've yet to see a game there until a few days ago. I've driven by the ballpark, cursed the traffic near the ballpark, but never watched an actual game since the Giants played back at Candlestick Park (now known as Monster Park).


Since the weather has been great and the Giants have been on a nice winning streak....why not take myself out to the ballgame! So I decided to browse through Craigslist in search of some good last minute tickets to purchase. It was just my luck that some posted "FREE GIANTS TICKETS!" The poster stated they thought they could attend, but plans changed. The tickets were for pick up only and were located just one city away from my parent's residence (I was in the area). So I decided what the heck...I have nothing to lose. I emailed the individual and then received a phone call within a few hours. SCORE! FREE TICKETS! Thank you SONYA!



These seats were great! I was expecting bleacher tickets, but they were decent View Reserve tickets towards the right of homeplate. I couldn't have asked for a better day game to watch a game on Wednesday, August 29th, 2007! The weather was BEAUTIFUL! A nice 82 degrees farenheit along with a cool bay breeze. Also, you can't go to an all American Baseball game without having a Hot Dog and a refreshing Coke.


The Giants were on a winning streak series against the Colorado Rockies until I showed up to the game. I'm a curse to the Giants! All the games that I've attended in my lifetime, the Giants alway lose when I'm in presence.

My presence doesn't help Barry!

To top the day off with the continuance of FREE stuff; I was able to ride BART for free because it was a Spare the Air Day.

Despite the 8 to ZERO loss to the Rockies, it was a pleasant day for me. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Beautiful weather, free tickets, free transportation, and a nice smile on my face. For those who don't know, the ballpark offers FREE wifi! Yes, I am one of the geeks who watches the game with my laptop on my lap.

Go Giants!

Christmas in May

Image
As I walk into my office in the morning, I stumble upon two boxes that I've been long awaiting for. One box is large and the second is small. Excited like child in a toy store; it was my normal instinct to open the large box first. Enclosed in the large box was my new Executive Leather Office Chair. The original office chair I normally sit on was due for retirement. I would pump the chair up in the morning and by mid afternoon, I'd would nearly be in a squat position close to the floor. So I open the box up assemble the chair. I lean the chair back, get comfortable, spin around a few times, and test the hydraulics. Everything is fine and I can get started on my daily routine of work. As I'm sitting comfortably in my new office chair, I clear off my desk for the smaller box. Enclosed in the box was my new Canon Powershot SD550 Digital ELPH Camera that I purchased from Dell . I've been eyeing this camera for a least six months, and it happened to be on sale with free shi...

iPhone 6s Plus

Image
Decided to pull the trigger on getting the iPhone 6S series since AT&T was the last of the large mobile carriers to drop the two year contract phone option.  Now all the mobile companies require you to pay retail price for the phone or you'll have to finance the phone in your monthly bill payments. I was a bit skeptical in the beginning on getting the 6SPlus due to it's size. I have large hands, so it actually looks like a regular 6s in my hands. Although after reading the reviews, I was more sold on the 4K video aspect with image stabilization (a feature only available on the 6s Plus). I've also noticed that I've always purchased the "S" version of the iPhone. My main reason for getting the 'S' models is due to some of the revised enhancements done to the phone prior to the predecessor. Never understood what the S was abbreviated for. Is it short for: Security? Sucker? Speed? Sound? Sensitivity? Who knows? It's a great phone...

Our HOME is for sale!

We decided to put our Castro Valley condominium up for sale. It was our first home that we bought together 14 years ago and we want to pass it to another first time buyer or investor! Many memories in this place. The views of the bay are spectacular! It's in the coveted Castro Valley School District and conveniently located close to BART/freeways, etc. I personally did all the remodeling by myself. New bamboo floor, new carpet, new appliances, new interior paint, new lighting fixtures, new toilets, and new water saving fixtures. Very bittersweet to leave but it's the right time for us to move to something bigger for our family. Come to the open house on June 8 & June 9 from 1pm-4pm on both days.
