Fiesta Lakers 2009

I have been waiting for the information on this great event. This event is sponsored and aimed at the Latino/a community that supports the Lakers here in LA. I was fortunate enough to go last year and man there was soooooo many people. I went with my best friend Kevin (who is a big Laker fan) and our other friend David. Since it was your first time going to this event we didn't know what to expect. It started at 12pm so we got there at 1230, and to our surprise it was packed. The even is in the convention center and the line went all the way around to Staples Center. We walked into line and stayed there till we got in, which was 2 hours from when we got there. But it was worth it.

Unfortunately we didn't win wrist bands to meet one of the Lakers at an autograph booth, but we seen them on stage and got Laker girl autographs (my two friends obviously were excited about that). Seeing Gasol, Kobe and Sasha was so cool, up on stage and everyone in that room screaming MVP MVP to Kobe as he walked up to speak in both English and Spanish. Every Laker that spoke made sure they said something in Spanish to please the crowd. After that it was time for them to go to their booths for autographs. I went straight to Sasha so I can get close enough to take pictures of him and yes I got some good ones.

We plan to go again now that the info is out, but this time we know to go way earlier for a chance to win wrist bands to meet our favorite Laker!!!!

WBC at Dodger Stadium

I was at the my second home today to get tickets for Manny's bobble head (good thing bc they are almost sold out) and Blanket night. With the bobble head on my mind I totally forgot about the WBC starts today at the stadium ( I know I'm dumb) anyway the ticket office was packed with many Koreans waiting to get tixs for tonight's game.. I was very impressed so I then went into the store and bought myself a cool USA shirt! then I walked to see the wonderful field and took some pictures!

I can't wait to be there for Dodger games!!!!

Letter for me!

Ok so i just received yesterday this letter... Now I had wrote in a previous blog that I was wondering about where I will be next fall for school, and last week I had applied to CSULA just in case the other schools I want to go to don't accept me. Well I come home yesterday from work and receive a letter from CSULA that I have been accepted by them.. Now that my backup planned worked, I want to know why can't the other school be that fast on letting me know. Well I'm still waiting for the last three schools to let me know. If not it will be CSULA for my BA and somewhere else for my Masters!

James article in LA times!!

Awww James, well after his first full year in the big leagues the Dodger first baseman is ready to play and most importantly improve from last year and years past.

The article in the LA TIMES today talks about him wanting to improve for his team, not necessarily for himself.

"Situations dictate how good your season is going to be," Loney said. "You can hit .400, but if you're not hitting good with guys on base, what's the point?

I love his work ethics on the field. He is such a great player and why I was immediately drawn to him as a player and became my favorite since the days of Mike Piazza.

I now he only will become a better player, as he has continued to improve his game as much as he can ever since he was young.
