FallingLEAVes of Sunshine

Yes, Russ ... it's quite nippy for March, isn't it? But I'll keep you warm ;-) First glimpse of Andre! I think he's signing some baseballs for someone Go long! Go long! Glimpse of Russell in the bullpen... This is in the left field pavilion, on the way to the bathrooms So close ... yet so far away Wonder what's on that TV They circled Furcal and they were like hopping around. It was funny and cute ... wish I had gotten a picture or video of the thing Loney and Kent during the National Anthem The Dodgers' dug out The rest of the Dodgers. How many cane you name? Russell's first at-bat Juan Pierre threw a ball into the stands and it landed on the lap of guy on the right Russell avoids getting hit by a pitch Furcal is wondering how in the world did he get caught stealing second to end the inning while Andre Ethier is in the batter's box Hooray! Happy days are here! Pierre is gone and now Andre is in left field! It's probably colder now than it was befor...

Dodgers win! Dodgers win! Okay, so technically it's an exhibition game. But it's my first game of the year. I've been looking forward to this game for so long. I bought the tickets over a month ago and picked them up this last week. Apparently the tickets I bought were mailed out on the third of March. I never received them, at least that I know of. So I called ticketmaster and they voided the ones that were sent and claimed them as lost. They told me I could pick up my tickets at the box office at Dodger Stadium. So I did. Today, it felt like I was constantly running late. I got up late. Then I was late picking up Kevin, Nina, and Harold. Jack called at the last minute, but I was still late in going. I had to go to WalGreens to get a transistor radio because the one I had from last year was broken. In the meanwhile, I figured it would be a good idea to get extra batteries for my camera. However, I didn't expect the lady in front of me to take forever checking out! She ...

Uh.... isn't that Chin-lung Hu? Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Hong-Chih Kuo throws out Milwaukee Brewers Ryan Braun from the hole behind second base in the fifth inning of their spring training baseball game Tuesday, March 25, 2008, in Phoenix.

Former Dodger Randy Wolf pitched six shut out innings in a Padres game against the Angels. His brother Jim was the first base umpire. Former Dodger Mark Hendrickson is going to be the Opening Day Starter for the Florida Marlins. Are you serious? Mark Hendrickson? Is this the same guy? His sports' psychologist must've been working overtime with him during the offseason. Pitcher Rudy Seanez was released. No more confusions between Seanez the pitcher and Saenz the pinch-hitter, since neither of them are with the team anymore. No more confusing pronunciations of Mr. Seanez's last name too.

After being internet-less for several days, I am back! I am alive. My room did not eat me up. As I said in my last post, I had to clear my room out. Turns out ... the only thing I kept from before was my white bookcase ... which is still questionable. I gave my bed to my brother. Nina offered me one of theirs. The dresser is still in the back yard. I'd love to sand that down and paint it! It would take a lot of work though. And I did put together a desk that I bought last year (or was it longer) that has been sitting in the backyard. My cousin took the desk and tried to put it in his room. He screwed it up, because it's supposed to be a L-shape desk. Some of the holes where the screws go in got messed up. When I tried to put the desk up, it fell on me. Now I filled some of the holes with wood filler and it's fine. I think. Something interesting happened at work today. These three young girls came in. They probably were no older than seventeen. Had to be high school age. I g...

In my room. It has been said by a few of my pals that my room has so much stuff in it, that it's stadium seating only. Sherisse onces came over, sat down in one part of my room and got trapped. I was moving stuff around and she was unable to get out. Nina had a similar situation yesterday. Why? She was helping me clean out my room, along with Harold and Kevin. She found herself surrounded by my bed, two bookcases, and some plastic containers. She was surrounded with no way out. Why is my room finally getting cleaned out? It's getting painted. All the rooms in our house are getting painted. My dad told me to get some friends to help. He gave me money to buy them food. And said he'd give them some money later. So, I got Kevin, Nina, and Harold and six more containers. We started working, three hours later, we stopped for lunch. Got four more containers. I had to pick up my mom and brother. We had to stop for prayer meeting. Harold and Nina went home. Kevin stayed for another ...

The Dodgers are playing the Padres right now in China. The score right now is Dodgers 3, Padres 5. It's the bottom of the fifth. Matt Kemp batted in the three Dodger runs. Eric Stults started off well. Started being the key word. In the first inning, he struck out the first three batters. As the game went on, the Padres' bat came alive. There was also a two-base error when two of our outfielders (George Lombard and Xavier Paul) went after a fly ball. They avoided colliding with each other, but they also missed the ball. George Lombard hit the first major league home run on foreign soil yesterday. The Padres and Dodgers finished the game yesterday in a 3-3 tie. It ended with a "gentleman's handshake". It was announced during the game that they were only going to play nine innings. The crowd did what any crowd would do. Boo. Tommy Lasorda's B Team finally won a game. They had a couple close ones this week. Ethier hit his fourth home run of the spring. Martin hit...

Randy's been on the team only a few months and already they have three interviews with him?? They rock!

It's 3:05 AM. I've been up since 6:45 AM. Why aren't I in bed yet? Let's see. Maybe a bottle of Starbucks' frappucino (coffe flavored), a grande white chocolate mocha, another bottle of Starbucks' frappucino (caramel flavor this time), and a grande peppermint white mocha might have something to do with it. Trust me. I had the first two before work ... I was bouncing off the walls. Rest of the day ... went by in a haze. Now ... my mind just keeps spinning... Mostly being chased by memories, ghosts, and skeletons in the closet

I'm finally getting around to some of my old photos ...

This customer came in with her mother and two kids. Her kids were out of control. They were being kids. They wouldn't sit down. They would run around the store. I guess each having their own Nintendo DS wasn't enough to keep them occupied. The lady was upset and talked in a very raised voice the entire time she was in the store. It was more of a yell than a raised voice. Here's what I could gather. They were at another store. One of her kids dropped something. She "yelled" at the kid. An associate at the store reprimanded her, telling her she shouldn't be "yelling" at the kid. The customer didn't appreciate the associate telling her how to raise her kid. She told the associate it was a free country and she could do what she liked. There was something about a camera, and taking pictures, but it turned out to be nothing. The customer also said something about the associate talking to her in Spanish. The customer said the associate followed them and...

The sun'll come out / Tomorrow Bet your bottom dollar / That tomorrow /There'll be sun Just thinkin' about / Tomorrow Clears away the cobwebs, / And the sorrow / 'Til there's none When I'm stuck with a day /That's gray, /And lonely, I just stick out my chin / And grin, / And say, / Oh The sun'll come out / Tomorrow So ya gotta hang on /'Til tomorrow Come what may Yes, the sun has come up and chased away some of the gloom from last night. My neighbor took a look at my car and said it was probably the battery. He hooked his car up to mine and we tried. He checked and after half an hour, discovered he didn't hook our cars up right. Voila! Battery started, car started, and my car is okay again. At least that's fixed.

"Now you can't say no one reads this ... because people do. That's the nice thing about the internet and blogs. You can write down the things you want to say but can't actually say without being afraid to say it. Okay, never mind because you (and I'm using that word broadly not directly) are afraid to say it, but it's easier to say it in a blog than it is in person. Hello, I for one would know. Then again ... there's still a part of you (again broadly used) that's afraid to really say what's in your heart and in your head because you're afraid that maybe, just maybe, there is someone out there who will read what you wrote. Maybe they'll understand, maybe they won't. Does it help? Sometimes. Not all the times. Sometimes that's the great thing about being a girl. Once you've cried over it, talked about it (in some way, shape or form)... sometimes (just sometimes) it does feel better. But not always. Then again ... I find myself won...

Is not working. It won't start. It happened a little before two o'clock this afternoon. My mom needed me to leave the house this morning around nine. I had no where to go, so I slept in my car for about two hours. Then it got too hot to stay in there. So I rolled down some windows. Then I started my car, drove around the block and parked under some shade. Then around 1:40 my brother calls me for me to go get him. I try to start the car and the result was a sound like a machine gun. That was it. Engine didn't turn over. Nothing. Except that rattling noise like a machine gun. It still won't start. I don't know what to do.
