A Win in the NYC

So the Sharks were down by 2 in the 1st period but persevered and won by 4 points to make it 7-3.

FWD:Chained Hockey Sticks

Many San Jose Shark players are married/wanted. Who are they? Christian Ehrhoff, Jonathan, Cheechoo, and Joe Thornton. How sucky is that? The sexy German with that accent we all love, the former most wanted bachelor in the Bay Area, and the former most available bachelor in the Bay Area. Why do hockey players get married so young anyway?

Watching an amazing show. Make It Or Break It

Going home on Tuesday...

Well I go home back to the Bay next Tuesday sice I dropped out of school here. I dropped out for the sole reason that tuition is just too expensive and my family is stuggling financially, they need me to be there. I did apply to go to SJCC so I will be going there and when I arrive I'll register for classes and get settled down. It was fun living here in Hawaii but I must say I'm excited that I'm coming back to my home state. i have missed it so much and I have missed my family so much so all in all it is a good thing that I am coming back. Until next time arrivederci!!!

A Hawaiian Rainbow over my campus

Haven't wrote in a while...

Well it is my last week her in the bay area... I go back to Oahu on
the 7th of July. It's been nice staying here for over a month, problem
is: I just don't want to go back to Oahu. I keep reminding myself that
I have one more year to go but I want to stay here in California, my
home. The general manager of the San Jose Sharks let go of Goc,
Plihal, and six others. This ticks me off to the max but hey what can
we do we are just fans. Well that's all I must say for now.

Got to tutor again...last day!!! I finished 3 of 5 final exams. I got bio wednesday and history 152 on thursday then I got the summer until July that is since I signed up for summer session. Next week I'll be heading up to the mainland... I get to go home once again! I miss home so it be good to head back after a long semester. I'll be back here on Oahu on June 15th with my sister. She'll be staying till August to help summer be less hectic and by the way my birthday is July 6th, turning 19 which is not too special but hell it is a birthday.

Haven't blogged in a while, so here it goes. Well we all know what happened in game 1 to the Sharks, a big let down (a total of 7 shots from our top line), but don't fret. It is just the first game after all, that doesn't take blame away from the team since just like any fan I for one am pissed. What iam trying to get at is ignore the calls of deja vu, just ask my sister, its just another cliqué, just believe and don't lose faith. Iam and that's a stand all fans should take. A little aside: my celeb crush is Christian Serratos, I love Twilight.

I Forgot What The Store Is Called But I Loathe It

Today I went to Valley Fair and guess what really pissed me off? This stupid store that had the wrong jerseys hung on the ceiling like they were the best things that their store could offer. Guess what they were. Three Pittsburgh Penguin jerseys. I admit it, my favorite hockey player is Sidney Crosby and I want one of those jerseys that were hanging up there but really what the fuck? Why the hell would you advertise an arch rival's jerseys like they were gold? Last time I checked this was San Jose. Sharks City, USA/Teal Town, not Steal Town. So to those jerkoffs who did that shit at Valley Fair, open your eyes and ears (If you already didn't hear me bitch about you at the mall, I know one of your employees did. He looked at me like I was crazy. Even though he was stupid enough to work at that store.) because this is SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA not Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This place doesn't have a Mellon Arena. We have the HP Pavilion. Take those jerseys off the ceiling and put Marleau, Thornton, and Cheechoo up there because if you want customers you better advertise what San Joseans want to buy, not something they'd set on fire. No wonder why you don't have customers. Oh by the way, if the owner of this store is reading this, I told my mom not to buy anything from your store. You might not think one customer would make a difference but trust me, it will when you know me. I have a big mouth and I love to protest. Oh and the store. I finally remembered which one it is. Sports Fever.

San Jose Sharks...Your 2008-2009 President's Trophy winners

The San Jose Sharks ended the regular season with a 4-3 loss to Los Angeles but through a big victory on part of the Buffalo Sabres defeating the Boston Bruins 6-1, have clinched the best record in the league and the President's Trophy for the first time in franchise history. This assures home ice advantage throughout the playoffs...Go Sharks and Congratulations to our 08-08 President's Trophy winners!!!

Another Song

I Never Knew April 1st, 2009 9:44pm

I tell you the truth
straight up
whats in my mind
You tell me the truth
straight up
and it cuts me like a blade

I never knew
the effect you had on me
i never knew
anyone could hurt me so deeply
i never knew
that somebody could walk into my life
and walk out with all my dreams stolen away

I hesitate
An awkward silence
You don't know what to say
You let the truth slip out
And now everythings in disarray

i never knew
the effect you had on me
i never knew
anyone could hurt me so deeply
i never knew
that somebody could walk into my life
and walk out with all my dreams stolen away

I fall apart
You tore up my heart
With just a few words
that i never thought youd say

i never knew
the effect you had on me
i never knew
anyone could hurt me so deeply
i never knew
that somebody could walk into my life
and walk out with all my dreams stolen away

I look around
See all the happiness
I sigh in envy
I can't believe
the only thing you can see
is this crestfallen smile on my face

i never knew
the effect you had on me
i never knew
anyone could hurt me so deeply
i never knew
that somebody could walk into my life
and walk out with all my dreams stolen away

I cannot see
how it wasnt meant to be
you were everything to me
and now everything is gone
its all gone

i never knew
the effect you had on me
i never knew
anyone could hurt me so deeply
i never knew
that somebody could walk into my life
and walk out with all my dreams stolen away

I didn't think
This could happen to me
You were the one
But im left here in disbelief
I never knew
anyone could hurt me so deeply
And steal all my dreams away

Should I Say It?

This is one of my older songs. It's called Should I Say It? and I wrote it on October 16, 2008.

I've been thinking
Every minute
Of every hour
Every single day
Wondering how I should say it
Or even say it at all
I wanna tell you before I know
That it's a little too late
'Cause I don't wanna stay here forever
In this cold lonely rain

CHORUS:
I just wanna scream and shout out
Tell you the truth right here and now
I want you to know
And I want to know
If you feel the same way
Or is rejection my reality?

I see you walk through the halls
And I'm thinking what should I do
'Cause I don't wanna live my life knowing
I'll always be without you

CHORUS

I'm just standing here
Debating
If I should talk to you or not
And it's driving me so crazy
They should have an instruction manual
Telling my if I should go
Scream and shout out
Tell you the truth right here and now
I want you to know
And I want to know
If you feel the same way
Or is rejection my reality?

As time stops in my eyes
You're the only thing I see
And I know this is my chance
But you're making it hard for me to breathe
Yeah, you're making it hard for me to breathe

CHORUS

Is rejection my reality?

CHORUS

Please just tell me
Should I say it
Or not say it at all

Still waiting...gotta test out the 3 games I bought for 80 dollars...GTA IV, Facebreaker and Burnout Paradise...I hope to have fun my last few days here. I come back on Sunday ... :(

Waiting at the repair shop, having the brake pads and cylinder replaced. Been here since 8:20 and I'm very bored. Went to my sister's game at Mitty High, girls there are not bad looking. Wish I went there, however since it is a p

Bottled Up Inside

My latest song.

I try to hide
And I succeed
My stoic face
Never decieving me
The hurt I always feel
You could never tell
I keep it all to myself

And it tortures me
Every single day
Yet I can't seem to
Walk away
From you
I keep it bottled up inside
You don't know how I feel inside
You don't know how I feel inside

I suffer all over again
And it's killing me
The smiles I smile they're never real
Look in my eyes and you'll see the real deal

And it tortures me
Every single day
Yet I can't seem to
Walk away
From you
I keep it bottled up inside
You don't know how I feel inside
You don't know how I feel inside

I look away
Every time I see that look in your eyes
I look up at the blue skies
Thinking why why
Why does it torture me
Every single day
Why can't I seem to
Walk away
From you
I keep it bottled up inside
You don't know how I feel inside
You don't know how I feel inside

It's killing me
And I can't seem to leave
I don't understand
How I can let it torture me
Every single day
Yet I can't seem to
Walk away
From you
I keep it bottled up inside
You don't know how I feel inside
You don't know how I feel inside

My heart is shredding
And you're not letting
It get any easier for me
I know I can't blame you
You don't know
The hurt I feel for you
The hurt I feel when I get a glimpse of you
Of you

And it tortures me
Every single day
Yet I can't seem to
Walk away
From you
I keep it bottled up inside
You don't know how I feel inside
You don't know how I feel inside

The pain I feel
It makes me cry
And now my heart
It desintegrates
The only person that can stop it is you
Just you

And it tortures me
Every single day
Yet I can't seem to
Walk away
From you
I keep it bottled up inside
You don't know how I feel inside
You don't know how I feel inside

So when I lay in bed tonight
I don't want to ever wake up
'Cause I know I'll dream of you
I'll dream of you

Never

I got my inspiration at school. Another song about unrequited love. I hope you like it.

So the story goes
Boy meets girl
He falls for her
She falls for him
And everything is alright
Is okay, so perfect
Nothing can keep them down

But now I love him
But he still loves her
I sigh
I can't believe I lost this
This chance
And it will never come again
Never again
And now I'm just standing here
Under a big grey sky
And he's walking away with a smile
With her by his side

So I try to stop daydreaming again
And it hurts to think
About what will never be
Never be because

I love him
But he still loves her
I sigh
I can't believe I lost this
This chance
And it will never come again
Never again
And now I'm standing here
Under a big grey sky
And he's walking away with a smile
With her by his side

So I look away
Try to take this crestfallen smile off my face
And my heart is pounding
So hard it's breaking
And nothing's there to keep me together

I love him
But he still loves her
I sigh
I can't believe I lost this
This chance
And it will never come again
Never again
And now I'm standing here
Under a big grey sky
And he's walking away with a smile
With her by his side

So I try to stop thinking about
The way they looked so good together
It's so perfect
And I know we could never
Look at each other that way
'Cause every time I look his way
I see that he still loves her
I sigh
I can't believe I lost this
This chance
And it will never come again
Never again
And now I'm standing here
Under a big grey sky
And he's walking away with a smile
With her by his side

So maybe I'm just sick
And maybe I don't really love him
Is it just my emotions playing me
When will get better?
Will I ever get better?

I love him
But he still loves her
I sigh
I can't believe I lost this
This chance
And it will never come again
And now I'm standing here
Under a big grey sky
And he's walking away with a smile
With her by his side

And so the story goes
Boy meets girl
They fall in love
I tear up because
When I'm thinking of him
He's thinking of her

Spring Break

Well I'm here waiting at Honolulu Internaional Airport, bording begins at 12:20pm and flight departs for San Jose at 1:05pm. If there are no delays, I should land at about 9:05pm on Californian soil. Iam doing nothing a the gae but surfing the web( iam writing this blog) had to pay $6.95 for two hours of unlimited access, what happened to free? Can't wait to board the plane and go home again. I love California.

Weather...Spring Break...Lyrics

The sun came out and now the clouds are back, hope it doesn't rain. Well its my last day of class, Spring Break is ahead. Time to forget that midterm I took yesterday-one week of California sunshine. Tomorrow I fly to the Bay and land in Mineta San Jose International. I will be able to drive since I came in Nov., I don't have a car here. I will be moving back anyway... maybe my life bores you but take a look at the lyrics written by my talented songwriting sister... now thats something that should interest you.

I Always Thought

This is a song that I just wrote. It's my favorite because it shows that I don't need a guy to be my shining armor. For once, I don't write about wanting something I can't have, I finally write about being just me and needing just me. This about not needing a guy to complete me.

I Always Thought

He's hurt me
Yet he doesn't know it
I'm crying
Yet he won't see the tears
I feel like dying but I'm gonna pull through
'Cause truth be told
I don't need you

I always thought
That I needed to be complete
I always thought
That you'd complete me
I always thought
I couldn't live without you
But guess what...

I don't need anything
All I need is just me
And I've already got that
You could tell me to cry but I won't shed a tear
You could tell me to die but I won't do what you tell me to
I don't take orders from nobody
The only person who orders me around is me

I couldn't do anything for myself
I was dependent on everybody else
but that will change right now

I always thought
That I needed to be complete
I always thought
That you'd complete me
I always thought
I couldn't live without you
But guess what...

I don't need anything
All I need is just me
And I've already got that
You could tell me to cry but I won't shed a tear
You could tell me to die but I won't do what you tell me to
I don't take orders from nobody
The only person who orders me around is me

I could never fight for myself
I always let them win
I could never handle it
I would just run
But I'm not going anywhere because

I always thought
That I needed to be complete
I always thought
That you'd complete me
I always thought
I couldn't live without you
But guess what...

I don't need anything
All I need is just me
And I've already got that
You could tell me to cry but I won't shed a tear
You could tell me to die but I won't do what you tell me to
I don't take orders from nobody
The only person who orders me around is me

I'd always shy away from anyone who got too close
Whenever it got tough
I'd give up my hope
But now my dreams are not just dreams
They're the future because

I always thought
That I needed to be complete
I always thought
That you'd complete me
I always thought
I couldn't live without you
But guess what...

I don't need anything
All I need is just me
And I've already got that
You could tell me to cry but I won't shed a tear
You could tell me to die but I won't do what you tell me to
I don't take orders from nobody
The only person who orders me around is me

I always thought
That I needed to be complete
A jigsaw puzzle needing the missing piece
But now I know it's always been complete
I've always been complete

Midterm...i need a break

Just took the Religion midterm, i don't feel to confident about it. But my prof. with drop the lowest of the two. I got a B at least I think on the previous one. So it shouldn't be that bad. Spring Break is next week, flyin to the Bay on Friday.

Martin Brodeur

A big congratulations go to Martin Brodeur who after a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks at the Prudential Center on Tuesday surpassed Patrick Roy's record with 552 career victories. A incredible moment in the history of the NHL!

Nightmare by Jennifer Lynne Sison Rompon

have you ever felt so alone
felt lost and so torn
want to scream
but can't find your voice
nobody there
and the tears won't go away

i keep wishing
i keep hoping
that this is all a dream
a nightmare that i can't seem to wake up from
i want to wake up
i can't do this anymore
it hurts too much
wake me up
why can't anyone wake me up?

have you ever felt so hurt
no one cared
no one knew
you have to keep it inside
you don't want anyone hurt
but you're getting hurt

i keep wishing
i keep hoping
that this is all a dream
a nightmare i can't seem to wake up from
i want to wake up
i can't do this anymore
it hurts too much
wake me up
why can't anyone wake me up?

have you ever felt so used
he's there
he's just not there for you
it hurts but you don't care
any of him is better than none of him at all

i keep wishing
i keep hoping
that this is all a dream
a nightmare i can't seem to wake up from
i want to wake up
i can't do this anymore
it hurts too much wake me up
why can't anyone wake me up

have you ever felt like you can't sleep
want to but it's like you already are

i keep wishing
i keep hoping
that this is all a dream
a nightmare i can't seem to wake up from
i want to wake up
i can't do this anymore
it hurts too much
wake me up
why can't anyone wake me up

this nightmare needs to end
can't keep living like this

wake me up
wake me up

I Just Can't by Jennifer Lynne Sison Rompon

i don't know
how to tell you this
i just can't
ruin it
i'm so scared
of what you'll say
look me in the eye
or walk away

i can't tell you the truth
i hide it
and deny it
i cry
but these silent tears
are never shown
i try
but i'll never tell you
i just can't

i feel like
if i tell you the truth i won't
be the same
you won't be the same
it's so complicated
it's so frustrating

i can't tell you the truth
i hide it
and deny it
i cry
but these silent tears
are never shown
i try
but i'll never tell you
i just can't

it doesn't feel right
lying to you
just to make you happy
it doesn't feel nice
telling you this
when i love you
when to you it's just friendship

i can't tell you the truth
i hide it
and deny it
i cry
but these silent tears
are never shown
i try
but i'll never tell you
i just can't

i want to
but i can't
i try to
but i know i won't
you don't know
and you'll never know
i love you
but you love her
it wasn't supposed to be like this but it is
i'll get over it
at least i'll try to
i need you
but she needs you more

i can't tell you the truth
i hide it
and deny it
i cry
but these silent tears
are never shown
i try
but i'll never tell you
i just can't
i just can't
i want to
i really do
but i can't
i just can't...

Sharks@Ducks

The San Jose Sharks defeated the Anaheim Ducks 1-0 Sunday night at the Honda Center. The lone goal came from Travis Moen who deflected a Jamie McGinn shot on goal. This gives Moen his 6th goal and 1st against his former team. Evgeni Nabokov records his 6th shutout of the season and stole the show for much of the game. It was all Nabby!!! With this win, the Sharks clinched a playoff spot and brak the 100 point mark. We are one point back from Detroit(101) but have games in hand. Get prepared for a great rest of the season leading to the playoffs. Goi Sharks!!!

Feels like today...

Well me again. I am at Dole Cannery right now surfing the web,
listening to the bay areas party station. Just killing time. Today I
gotta tutor at 2:30 so it won't be long after this is posted. I went
to The Ala Moana Center today to take advantage of the Apple Store's
free wi-fi. However I initially went to the airport to time myself so
I won't be late for the plane ride back home for Spring Break. Was
perfect timing, left at 9am arrived at HNL at 9:52. Gives me hours to
spare since airport security is such a hassle. My flight will be at
1:05 pm next friday. Hopefully there will be no delays. The Sharks
play tomorrow at the Tank against LA. Go Sharks!!! l

Sharks@Blues

The San Jose Sharks lost to the St. Louis Blue 3-1, Thursday night in St. Louis, Missouri. This was a heartbreaking loss as Detroits loss in the shootout puts them one point ahead of us in the standings. The Sharks will come back home for one game against Los Angeles then go on the road to Anaheim. Hopefully we'll get back to our winning ways on Saturday. Go Sharks!!!

Today

sharks.nhl.comWell today just like any other Thursday I'm waiting for my history
class to start. I wait because I don't have chem lab so my 3 hours are
open. The week after next is spring break for the University of Hawaii
system..so I will be heading up to the Bay for that week to visit my
nuclear family who I miss dearly. It will be nice to take a break from
all this crap going, and with the way my grades are fairing right now
I most certainly deserve it. Well the Sharks will play the St. Louis
Blues tonight. This will be a tough one since the Blues are one of
those desperate teams. But however the Sharks will pull through
because even though we are number 1 we still need those points to win
the conference... Detroit just can't win again. Go Sharks!!!!

The San Jose Sharks defeat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 in OT Tuesday night at Xcel Energy Center. Jumbo Joe started scoring off with an assist form Travis Moen at the 4:13 mark. The Moen would add an unassisted shorthander at the 12:32 mark. This leads to an exciting game. Unfortunately I wasn't able to see the game because of traffic, so I'll be sure to watch highlights.

The two points at stake in this game are crucial for the Sharks to keep Vancouver at bay and break the current tie with Detroit in points (94). Because of games in hand and a better record, we are number 1 again and if playoffs were to begin today, we would match up with the Dallas Stars. A rematch of last year. Until next time, Go Sharks!!!

How To Create A Team For Dummies (Like Doug Wilson)

Doug Wilson is the general manager of the San Jose Sharks. He was also the first captain of them too so shouldn't he know what a team is all about? Apparently not. What, with the constant trading and firing of coaches. I'm fourteen and even I know what makes a team. It's not the best players, it's chemistry.

Yes, chemistry. Making the perfect team is like finding your soul mate. It takes time. You can't just think that if you lose a few games, you need better players. That's not what it's about. I mean, if you get into a petty fight with your significant other are you going to just break up with them? Most likely not because you're great together. You are whole with that person. It's the same thing with hockey. If you don't get to the Stanley Cup Championship, are you going to get rid of the people who made the mistakes? No, you aren't. You shouldn't do that. You don't do that because it isn't about getting that Cup. It's about training to get it with people you can work with. Are you going to get married to someone that you can live with? You should but if you marry someone, you should marry someone you can't live without. A team needs to need each other. It's a group effort, groups work together, not alone. One for all and all for one, that's what a team should be not the best players in the league. Hell,you can put the best players in the NHL on one team and I bet that team wouldn't make it into the playoffs. Why? Because those players won't know how to play with someone that is good at their best points. A team works together to achieve. Are you going to put a best scorer on a line of 2 Rocket Richard Trophy winners? Only if you want them to compete with each other just to get a goal. You need to have a variety so if one makes a mistake, the others can catch it.

Another thing about teams, it's not about what one can do it's what they could do. It's all about the potential. You don't need to have high draft picks to make a good team. For example, Henrik Zetterburg was 210th overall in the 1999 draft. Today, he is one of NHL's best. He is going to be in the Hall Of Fame one day and in 1999 no other team considered him besides the Red Wings. Why was he 210th overall? Because he probably wasn't good enough. If the Atlanta Thrashers got him in the the First Round, do you think that they would be Stanley Cupless today? Heck no! They would probably have a few Stanley Cup banners in their arena just taunting the 29 other teams for not acquiring him in that draft. The Red Wings took him under their red wing and created a masterpiece.

Why are the San Jose Sharks, or any other team for that matter, in need of a good trade when what they have can be worked with to become the best? To become Stanley Cup champions? Every general manager should take a good look at the team before they think of getting rid of someone. Sure make some minor changes here and there but don't get rid of the players that have been there awhile, the veterans. You keep a team the same for a few years and I'll guaratee you'll be holding the Stanley Cup in your hands before you know it. And that's all you need to know to create a team.

That Dream

Have you ever had a dream that feels so real yet not really clear? It's like kind of fuzzy but you can still smell and feel it. It's like there's a fog that makes your dream look a little distorted, you can see things but not clearly. Well, I had a dream like that a few years ago.

I don't know how to explain the dream besides that fact that it was so I don't know weird. I was talking to this guy and he told me to do something and I did it but not the way he wanted me to do it, which was the easy way. I just did it the hard way and did something so it wouldn't make me look stupid. It's really hard to explain but that was what that dream was about. I didn't know the guy but in the dream it seemed like I did. It's so bizarre. I didn't recognize the guy's outline of his face, his skin color, or even his voice. To me, he was a perfect stranger.

Yesterday, my dream came true. The guy I was talking to was somebody I knew, well know. I did exactly what I did in the dream. Hell, while doing it, I felt like it was deja vu. I didn't realize why it felt so familiar until I was done. It was so ironic. Everything fell into place. The guy in my dream was him. His face, his color, and his voice were the same. That's why I was so attracted to the guy. In my dream I knew him and now, a few years later, I really do know him. Too bad irony is a bitch disguised by humor. I can't believe I dreamed about him before I knew him.

I have always thought of dreams to be either what you most want or what you think would be the worst case scenario. So what is this dream suppose to be? What category does it fall under? Is it what I want to happen or is it something I don't want to happen? Or maybe even worse, both?

Am I In Denial?

I used to like this guy. I wrote 3 songs for him but do I still like him? I don't know. I honestly just don't know. I think I do one day but change my mind the next. Like I said I wrote music for him. He was my muse but I just wrote another song for the guy even though I thought I didn't have any feelings for him anymore. Am I in denial?

Sharks@Canadiens

The San Jose Sharks lost to the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 at Bell Centre Saturday night. The Sharks came on strong despite a 3-0 lead by Les Habitants after the first. Early in the second Pavelski and Thornton scored in succession to bring the game within one. However the push wasn't enough. Since Boston had lost as well, this keeps San Jose and Boston tied for first overall. Detroit also loses to Nashville 8-0 which keeps them 3 points behind regardless of this loss. The Sharks come back home to play Dallas on the 3rd of March. Lets cheer them on! Go Sharks!!!

Wi-fi and public transit on Oahu.

We need wi-fi on public transit here in Honolulu County. It would take the stress out of commute on public trans. I know many would take advantage since most have wi-fi capable devices. I for one have an iPod Touch and PSP which I can't use (gave it up for Lent) let alone a notebook computer. This just might increase ridership. I for one am for it

Protest Kellogg's

I urge you to protest the Kellogg's brand and refrain from buying any of their brand name cereals. Because of recent events highlighting Michael Phelps and Kellogg s dropping him from their endorsement, this cereal brand should be punished for not looking at the facts. They should have waited to see if such charges could be filed against him (if there was any evidence to prove what he was doing was illegal. However, they did not, they drew a conclusion and dropped him. Ask Kellogg's this: can anyone man or woman be perfect? The answer is no. No one person can ever be perfect, that's what makes life interesting. In my mind Kellogg's should have looked at the facts and get them clear before dropping Phelp's. What they expect is something that no person can acheive, I don't think the upper echelons are that perfect either. So I call for a boycott of this brand until they get it together and come back to reality, and more importantly apologize to Phelp's.

Sharks@Dallas

Sharks defeated the Dallas Stars 1-0 Monday night at American Airlines Center. The win gives 91 points in the standings. Nabokov got the shut out when Setoguchi broke the score less tie at 12:05 with assists by Ryane Clowe and Christian Ehrhoff. The game was much dominated on the shot clock for the first two periods by the Dallas Stars. Both goalies took centerstage by keeping his team in the game by making incredible saves. When it went down to the wire with an empty net for Dallas a block from Blake and impressive athletic moves from Nabby, the Sharks prevented Dallas from tieing thus clenching the victory.

Thrashers@Sharks

The San Jose Sharks defeat the Atlanta Thrashers 3-1 at H.P. Pavilion, Satuday afternoon. The game was scoreless for the first two periods until Ryane Clowe started a early Third Period rally. Jonathan Cheechoo and Joe Thornton had the next two goals. The lone Atlanta goal came on a 5 on 3 by Bryan Little withe Thornton and Grier in the box. Jeremy Roenick gets his 700th career assist on Cheech's goal after a 10 week injury absence. The Sharks add to their lead in the West with89 points in the standings. Go Sharks and a big congrats to JR!!!

Atlanta@Sharks

Well Atlanta is going to play the Sharks at 1pm PST in H.P. Pavilion. Don't assume that this is an easy game as Kovalchuk and company has ripped apart both our rivals from SoCal. Expect this to be a good hockey game, maybe down to the wire; maybe not. But expect the unexpected and cheer the Sharks on. Go Sharks!!!

Los Angeles @ Sharks

The San Jose Sharks defeat the Los Angeles Kings Thursday night at H.P Pavilion; 4-2. With goals by Kaspar, Marleau, Vlasic, and Michalek, the Sharks extend their lead in the Western Conference. The game had its share of scrums, amounting to an opening up the old San Jose-Los Angeles rivalry. Claude Lemieux earned his first point since his comback to the NHL on a secondary assist on Michalek's goal. His last point was scored againest the Sharks in 2003 when playing for the Dallas Stars. Go Sharks!!! 87pts in standings.

What's up with the $0.99, $1.99, $2.99, etc.?; weather, and what to do

It should be understood that this is a ploy used by retaliers to make things cheaper then they seem. Consumers think oh $1.99, I must be saving. Truth is you're only saving a penny and these days a penny isn't worth that much. Heck the dollar ain't worth face value anymore since our economy has been tanking, the past eight years (Big props go out to President Obama for trying to fix what has been ruined). I say to retailers just round that amount up a dollar. I mean who wants to keep a penny, the reason why people pay by credit or debit card is because change is a hassle. The last time saving a penny a day was in my eyes worth it was (I thank the History Channel for this information) in 1908: U.S. Postage stamps are sold for the very first time at a penny a piece. I am going to buy an iPod Touch this weekend because I need something to do while on the bus. The current state of weather here in Honolulu: it is raining and it is about 76 degrees. Which is very contradictory; not the temperature but whats going on, the tradewinds were supposed to blow clouds away. It was only supposed to rain Windward not Leeward but I guess Hawaiian weather is hard to predict.

Oilers@Sharks, Ancient Greece and the Cardiovascuscular System

The San Jose Sharks defeated the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 at HP Pavilion Tuesday night. This increases their lead in the West with 85 points. With goals by Pavelski, two shorties by the Captain, one by Jumbo Joe and an amazing performance by Nabby, we put a little bigger cushion between us and the Detroit Red Wings. All this while I am studying for a Biology mid-term and a History: World Civ. quiz.

my day today

much of the same. its freakin boring to live here in the suburbs in Honolulu. I don't have a car and have to relay on the public transit to get me to where I want to go i.e., TheBus. The problem is this is that I have to follow the schedule of when the buses come and go and not my own schedule which I would kill to enjoy. I wish I was independent, I want to live closer to town i.e., Honolulu and on my own. I believe need independence because I feel I don't get respected as an adult where I am currently established. I feel as though I am treated as a hopeless kid, I am not. One thing to be clear about I am not being raised by no one. I raise myself, although I am provided a bed to sleep on and dinner on my plate, I am in no way being raised by anyone. I am being financially supported by my parents, only they lay the claim to raising me right now. If you look at the situation, I help myself with homework while trying to get help over the phone from my Dad, I eat lunch at campus on my own, I go to school on my own accord, and if I want to go somewhere: the mall, the beach, or the Arizona Memorial for instance; I do this on my own. I am financially supported by my parents and not by anyone I currently live with. To say that the people I live with although my extended family raise me is a false claim. I am provided a home and food, not anything else that would come close to be called raising i.e, what you get from your parents. I consult my decision making with my parents and nobody else, so the answer to who"s raising me: my parents are. I want to go back to San Jose right now, don't care what others feel, its what I want and my parents and little sister need me to be there. i made a mistake of coming here and i don't enjoy being here. I know I was the envy of my graduating class for being here but i would gladly trade places with those who stayed home in California. Being on an island is not as fun is living in a place with open road, meaning from the Bay, I could take the highway to Seattle or even New York. Being surrounded by ocean, you gotta fly or own a submarine. I miss my friends, my nuclear family, and i miss being in my home state. i feel as though I am having to adjust to my extended family more so than they are adjusting to me, so I want out. Going to class, listening to my professors lecture, taking on the phone to my nuclear family keeps my mind off of my current state of boredom/unhappiness. Doing homework is fine too, however I can't do it in this house, its do damn noisy; not a great place for a college student to study, read, etc.. I have decided on days I don't tutor I will go to the state library in downtown to study and do homework, its more quiet and so I don't have to suffer through distractions. Either that or stay at my school's library. The latter might be better but we'll see. I am definitely doing one or the other, I just can't stand to do hmwk at my place of habitance.

Another Trip, Another Thought

I went again to Ala Moana Center and then walked to Ward Centers on Auahi Street. As I was in Sears at Ala Moana, I thought of life before college, my years in high school and even in middle school. One person that came to mind during those years was this girl that I had fallen for in the 6th grade. My first day of my 6th grade year I was waiting in class (it was minutes before the late bell was to ring) and she walked through the door. It was then I figured out how I was gonna get through this transition, that was to get through it with her. Never had the guts to ask her out that year and then the next I found out that one of my closest friends had a thing for her too. To not make a great friendship go astray, I kept to myself. Not that much later, she started goin out with someone. I carried my feelings about her through high school; never once had that chance (still was dating someone). By the time graduation became a reality, I thought, just forget because we're all going our separate ways. However just recently, the thought of her has gotten stronger (she was on my mind when I was at Ala Moana). I was talking to my sister and she said that maybe this is a way of my mind creating a virtual reality that includes her in my life. She then explained that maybe my mind was fixated on her because in reality and I quote Santana when I say that I haven't found that someone 'that makes me feel alive'. Hopefully I can find that someone that "I know in the end", will never leave.- I'm Feeling You-Santana f/ Michelle Branch & The Wreckers. If you needed to know what college/university she goes to its SJSU, the school I hope to transfer to at the end. Well the Sharks lost today in regulation to the New Jersey Devils 6-5. This keeps our losing streak at 3, the previous two were in in Shootout. However, not all is bad, Detroit lost to Colorado so we still have that two point lead, had they won, both teams would be tied for the first time. This ends our five game road trip on a sour note but they go back home to play Edmonton on Tuesday, Go Sharks!!!

On Valentine's Day 2009

Well for the special day that should be dedicated also to Singles as Single's Recognition Day, I went to the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu. Ala Moana is the largest outdoor shopping mall in the world. It is mostly a mall for tourists but you do find locals shopping there too. There's lots to do with four levels of shopping and two places to eat Makai Market and Ho'o'kipa Terrace with a great variety of restaurants. I went to the Apple Store, Sears and Shirokiya(A specialty store) for the latest in electronics, I plan to get an iPod Touch. After I took the bus to Downtown to transfer onto 54. Beretania and Punchbowl is the corner where the Hawaii State Capital is. Beautiful building, with a likeness of a volcano. An island in the middle of a pool, which resembles the Pacific Ocean.

Because iam still in traffic, I will miss the game. damn

Honolulu Traffic

Traffic here in Honolulu County is awful. There are very few alternates and too many cars. Its bad both directions town bound and ewa bound. Something has to be done but there is no funds or hardly any. I bring this up because as of right now while on the bus, I am stuck in traffic. I might miss the Sharks game, this would be my first in a long while.

Current state of life

Well gotta wait for the 54 Lower Pearl City bus again. The Upper PC bus passed by so its comin soon. Tutoring was great today, my kid was very enthusiatic for some reason. Like always i wait at the far corner of Liliha & King Sts. Wanna go home to watch the Sharks game, score ain't looking so good right now but i have confidence. Currently the weather ain't looking that good but at least the trade winds are blowing-

Some more random thoughts

I wanna move back to my home state of California. Don't get me wrong, i like living here in Hawaii but it just doesn't feel like home for me. i lived here for nearly six months and met great people but i still want to go home to the Bay. however i do enjoy the experience of living here, its every mainlander's dream. got a yr and a half left before i move back, I've decided to transfer to San Jose State University where a large percentage of my graduating class goes. Don't think this defeats the purpose of being here. i don't think so. it is an experience of a lifetime being here.

Random Thoughts

Next class is @ 1pm hst, im pretty bored. hungry but not enough cash on hand. gotta wait till i get home to eat. the weather is not looking all that great. got a flood advisory for the county. there was a tornado in Kapolei yesterday, very rare occurence. only one injured and minor damaged sustained. the bus ride to Pearl City aint all that great. too bumpy too long too many stops. i need a car but i don't have the cash. college life is hard, but i'll get through it. sick of people treatin me like a kid. i'm 18 that makes me an adult. so treat me like one. @ school i'm an adult, elsewhere i'm not so sure.

Sean Avery

With Sean Avery clearing waivers and the Dallas Stars looking to get rid of him? Which team will pick him up and if none of the other teams take a chance on him, we will be looking at him being sent to the minors. This arrangement will most likely not work out; if he can't calm down a hot head in the NHL, can he do so in the AHL?

Why transperency in Gov't is a good idea

This is what I had heard from my professor: A CEO of possibly Merrill Lynch had purchased a $14000 trashcan with the gov't bailout signed by Bush(this was not what it was for). This is why President Obama's call for transparency in gov't is a good idea, we must know where our tax dollars are going.
