Just Some Rambles-- From Liz

Hey guys! So, this isn't Bernardo because he's feeling lazy and didn't want to update, so he left it up to me. MWAHAHAHA... Let's see, what has happened in Bernardo's life that blog worthy. Well for one, he met me! DUH. I'm Liz, from Staten Island, live in Nyack, work in Jersey. I met B at work, the place we have been completely subordinate to for the last 2 weeks. Big BOO to David Z and their nonsensical holiday hours! Yet, can't be bitter toward the store that brought us together, right? Anyway enough about me, more about B.

I think thats about it. =) JUSTTT KIDDDING

For Christmas Bernardo received a new lens for his camera a 24-70mm to be exact. Don't think this guy could get any happier with a present (lots of kudos to Eldridge on that one!) He also got a spifty pair of J.Crew gloves from yours truly, but they didn't fit and had to return them. =( He also got some bling bling from me. HAHA

A little thinking outloud right quick. Bernardo might delete this, it's not that good. But we'll see

I don't know what else to write. I'll just give a quick kiss to my baby, he's pretty amazing and makes me super happy.

Oh one last thing!!!.. Any Giants or football fans that read this bad boy, PLEASEEE check out my dad's blog. He's been a sports writer for 33 years, laid off due to the economy but is still hanging in there and doing what he's been doing for over a quarter of a decade. Check it out HERE

Okay that's all

Eldridge's Surprise!

Got Eldridge a surprise present... and he thought all he got from me was J. Crew button up shirt that I purchased on the sale rack... HA think again buddy...

shake shake shake brake!

AHHHHHH!!

WAHOOO!!

OH YEAAAHH!!

hmmmm...

SAY WHAAAAA??!!

WEEEHAW!

Ok, so he didn't say those phrases verbatim but it sure does look like he did. You are welcome!

24-70L

WARNING: The following is a photograph of a 24-70L lens... with a dent =x

party pooper on 12 o'clock

looks huge.

I JUST got this lens for Christmas and it's already F*^&ED UP. This is how the story goes:

So it's my turn to open a present. I get this small box wrapped in golden paper. I rip it open and see this box that reads EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM. and HOLY SH*T did I almost defecate on the spot... It's the lens I've been dreaming to get! SO I give Eldridge a hug (because it was from him) and as I pull away from that manly hug, his shoulder hits my hand, which was obviously not grasping the lens like a man hand should, and all I hear is a heart break. Yeah it fell on the floor... =/ and now it's got that annoying miniscule ding on the tip. UGH! So now I have to return it and try to get a new one... I hope they take it back and I get a second chance.

Secret Santa

This is the first time our store played Secret Santa and I hope we get to do it again next year! It's been a very LONG and ANNOYING week at the store! All we do is repeat which shoes are on sale, explain how shoes fit, and yell at people to not TOUCH THE WINDOW DISPLAY!! Nevertheless the week is over and we just wanted to go exchange gifts already and chow down some eats at a Chili's nearby... All I know is that I can't wait to see my check... let's just say I could go to Hawaii and Vegas at the same time with the money. Well... here we gooooooo...................

Happy Holidays!!

It was such a fun time!!

30Rock

Do you watch 30 Rock? If not, you should... because that's basically where we skated this weekend. No, I didn't see Liz Lemon but I did get to skate with Liz (the girl I like ;] ). I brought along Moji and his girlfriend too. DO NOT... I repeat... DO NOT drive to Rockefeller during the holidays. You will not find any parking and you'll be surrounded by tourists and people who don't have a clue about driving and walking around. UGHH!! ANYWAY it's definitely an exciting time and worth the $35 parking.

Happy Birthday, Christian!

Celebrating another birthday yet again. You already know the deal. He's 22 years young, NYC, Asian Pub, tons of shots... and no memory of what happened. The only thing to help are pictures and rumors... err.. stories. CHRISTIAN!!!! Happy birthday broskie! I'll see you at work to steal your sales muahHAhHahahahahaA.

That's a crazy bunch right there.

leather

Finally bought my very first LEATHER JACKET!! NO it's not fake... YES it's 100% leather. Gap had a 50% Off Outerwear SALE this weekend and I took the last medium which ran me $174. How could you say no to a leather jacket that cost less than a monthly car bill? YOU CAN'T and that's why I bought it suckerrrr! It's got that old vintage look and has that REAL leather aroma... WAHOOO!

ECC

So the first time I go back to Newark to hit up ECC, I get a ticket... AND my car got TOWED! Yeah, no joke... This was basically the convo:

Cop: Can I see your papers please...

(I hand it to the cop)

Me: What did I get pulled over for, sir?

Cop: You cut me off.

Me: Really??

Cop: Yeah...

..

..

You're car isn't registered.

Me: Since when?!

Cop: ... October

Me: OH, WOOOOOW!

Cop: ... :taps on windshield: ... And you're inspection sticker is out of date.

Me: ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

(Cop goes back to his car)

Cop: OK... so I won't give you a ticket for cutting me off and your inspection sticker... which is about $100..

.

.

.

... but I HAVE to TOW your car.

there goes my baby... off to Twin Towing in Belleville.

after that... well... you know.. the shit got TOWED! >:( What an EFFED up day. It cost me $46.50 for registration renewal, $102.30 to get it out, and $54 for my registration ticket... oh yeah... plus gas AND a waste of time. Thank you, Neil and Jake for giving me a ride.

Pacman vs Cotto

As the fight for the welterweight title dubbed "Firepower" has ended... I just have a few thoughts about it. Sure Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao won it, but I still have to give a round of applause to Miguel Cotto. Cotto is a very great boxer, I'll give him that. But Manny is just a BEAST!
Manny is too fast... he's getting to almost the same level as Mayweather Jr... and that's saying a lot! As he gains weight, he also becomes even more powerful and his punches are very ferocious. Manny battles the weight limits no matter how many pounds he has to gain OR lose. When he has a fight, he gets in the zone and there's no stopping him.
I know Miguel Cotto is a very powerful boxer, but he lacks the speed and combinations like Pacquiao. He did seem to be faster and quicker in this fight. I think the only way he could have defeated Manny is if he gets a dead-on hit or he changes his fighting technique to be a counter-puncher, like Marquez.
Even though Manny won the fight.. I still wasn't too impressed by it. I think that they just fought Cotto at his most vulnerable stage. Cotto lost his VERY FIRST match against Margarito... and THAT definitely broke him down. Plus Cotto had to drop a few pounds meaning he'd get tired quicker. BUT Cotto lasted pretty long in the ring. Twelve rounds is very astonishing considering Pacman's recent wins ended at Round 2 against Ricky "Hitman" Hatton and Round 7 against Oscar "The Golden Boy" De La Hoya. Good fight Miguel!

Manny is now going down in history as the first ever boxer to win titles in 7 different weight classes. I'm really proud to be a filipino...FINALLY!!! (jk). Manny is a hero to the entire country and I wish I was back home to celebrate and drink San Miguel Beer and munch on pulutan... sorry guys.. it's a filipino thing ;)

MW2

After months of the trailers and teases... I finally got you, you crazy sonuvabietch! The gameplay itself, compared to MW1, is soooo much better. Also the graphics. I don't care what anybody says, I don't care if you have an XBox, and I don't care if you're not into anything related to this... MW2 PWNS!

Only problem it has as of right now is the Invite option. Sooooo unnecessary. They should have kept the old invite option from the older version. Plus, the internet is going bonkers and won't allow anyone to be invited. WHAT THE HELL INFINITY WARD??!! DO SOMETHING!! Other than that, the game is AWESOME!

and there goes my geek side.
