YES, I have forgiven Kyle Williams!! Sunday evening, The Bay Area was filled with devastating 49er fans and a lot of hate towards punt return Kyle Williams who fumbled twice which the NY Giants scored on his 2 fumbles. Which eventually lead to the 49ers losing in overtime by 3 pt (so hard to say that)
 
Basically, I think this game was a cake walk for NY, but who cares what I think. 49ers soooo had this in the bag if it werent for those errors. I did not tweet, fb any death threats to Kyle Williams. I figured the kid is already sad himself and he is only human. . . we all make mistakes. His just mattered to more people. Here's a cute lil story & letter a kid wrote to KW after the game...
 
He was crying, saying of Kyle Williams, with the distinct sobs of a seven-year-old between each word, "But... why... did he... have to... fumble?"
[...]
Trying to get his son to stop crying, Michael asked him, "If you feel this way, how sad do you think Kyle Williams is?"
Owen paused a second, then asked his dad, "Can I write him a letter to make him feel better?"


too cute! Even watch this video... I did the same thing LOL

All in all, SF49ers had an Amazing season this year! Who would've thought that with a new coach, they would go from a 6-10 season to a 13-3 and playing for NFC Championship!

where would you go?!?

In my "My Best Friend's Wedding", Kimmy went to Cubs Stadium. In "Jumping The Broom", Sabrina went to her yacht. I always wondered to myself, Where would be the place I go if I were to feel stressed or needed to get away. Luckily I havent been in that situation before until yesterday. I was just feeling a bit down & out about a number of things and being at work was NOT helping at all. I had to get out of there. My mind was so clouded and I needed to clear it. I asked my boss if I could leave early and all I wanted to be was somewhere where I felt most at peace. I finally got there with a friend and we talked & talked, laughed, joked, etc. I finally figured, I FOUND MY PLACE! Thank You HALF MOON BAY for your beautiful stretch of beaches, a beautiful sunset, mystic sounds of waves crashing and only a 15 min drive from my home. You really did calm my nerves and made me feel a WHOLE lot better!!

Football in January...i LOVE it!

I forbid myself from mentioning any more football in any of my blogs but I cant help it! DID YOU SEE THE GAME ON SATURDAY?!? OMG, probably one of the BEST football games I've seen ever. Probably one of the best since *my team* won but all in all, it was a GREAT game! Especially when booboo got emotional cause his touchdown! haha If you havent seen it, please youtube it, 49er.com, espn, nfl.com, whatever. lol Its been a while since 49ers been to the playoffs so I'm enjoying every bit of football in January! NFC Championship game at da Stick (Candlestick) on Sunday, super excited. Win or Lose, THANK YOU Jim Harbaugh, 49ers, especially boo Vernon and his teammates for making January excited for us BAYdestrians.

Totally taking me back to last year's championship with SF Giants. It was Orange & Black fever in da Bay.



On another note, I saw this on FB and I couldnt stop laughing! HAHAHAHA They aint playin! LOL!

Road Block :/

I'm at a point in my life where I need to see what it is that I want to do (career wise) and get crackin on it! I've been employed with my current employer for 10 yrs this May.YIKES! When I got hired, it was my 2nd semester at CSM (also my last haha), I was a teenager, I was broke, and ANY job wouldve done. Luckily, I was hired by a great company and I've been here every since!

When talking about careers with a friend at my HS Reunion, he expressed how much he hates his job. He even joked that I probably got my job because of Affirmative Action (haha jerk!) He asked how I felt bout mine, and i thought about it, and I told him "I was content!" It was just weird cause believe it or not, I've never really thought about it. My job was perfect for me at the time. I had a flexible schedule, my boss was cool and let me take whatever days off I wanted. I would come to work so hungover with only a couple hours of sleep dragging and it would be nothing.

But now, I'm older. My sister asked me what my dream job would be, and I really couldnt answer her! I told her I wanted to open up a bakery, but funny thing is, I dont even like baking! LOL! When I was younger, I wanted to be a news reporter. Sophmore year, I wanted to be an accountant, Senior year, I wanted to teach. Now, I cant think of anything. . . how sad! I dont expect to be at the Bank for the rest of my life (i hope) But I have no clue what steps to take, to further my path towards my dream career.

I was thinking about taking night classes to get the mojo flowing, but I just dont know. And I got scared because I just realized, I'm finally growing up!

remember me????

Cant believe I went for so long without blogging...even BS blogging! But this holiday season consumed all my attention:) Birthday Parties, many Holiday parties, SHOPPING (for myself. . . . window), awaiting my brother's phone call home, family members visiting from all over, etc

So this past Christmas season, the spirit hit me hella hard. It like, slapped me in the face, kicked me to the ground, and left me there holding my stomach! LOL! I was feeling everything on so many different levels, humility, forgiveness, patience, and that's so not normal. Part of my "all of da sudden" attitude came from being so amazed by Patrick Willis' story. His story is similar to the BlindSide movie but it was more eye opening for me. Yes, there was a palangi family that took him in but they werent wealthy like they Touey's were to Michael Oher. And it was not only Patrick Willis, but his siblings as well.

Prior to being "rescued", they lived in ways I cannot even imagine. A double wide at the end of a dirt road in a small town in Tennessee with no running water or electricity. They litterally had to use the restroom in buckets and dump it in the woods at the end of the day. Patrick, being the eldest of 4, had to cook & prepare dinner for his younger siblings by the time he was in 1st grade. By the age of 10, he worked in the cotton field to get money and helped pay for the electricity when they finally got it. With living arrangements like that, an absent mother, an abusive father, he sure did have the heart & passion for sports! Okay, so i have a lil crush on him! LOL!

Anyways, I was out to lunch with my cousin & a coworker and I mentioned this story and blah blah blah. I mentioned that I only witnessed people living like this in Tonga. It was mind boggling to think that folks live like this in American and this & that. THEN, the palangi coworker says how she actually can relate to his story because she grew up the same way. In a trailor, no electricity, hopping from place to place. But not in Tennessee or Kentucky, this was in CALIFORNIA! First thought that came to my head was this was my time to insert my foot in my mouth RIGHT NOW!!! Second thought was, here I am talking about all these famous uli uli football players who made it out da slums, ta koe, there was a BlindSide story right in front of me! A palangi Blindside story.

What? First i was surprised that my coworker lived her childhood like that. More power to her. But I was even more surprised how that lifestyle hit me close to home. Like, I actually know a person who experienced all of that. And believe it or not, my heart really sunk knowing there are actually starving children in America. I'm not tryna sound like a 5 cents a day informercial, but its just crazy. Maybe i lived my life being very naive, or maybe its because my damn nieces & nephews are frickin spoiled fatties! But this was one of my reasons Santa sprinkle some of his hard stuff on me during this time.
