Ice on Car!
A couple photos of my car covered in ice from Tuesday, February 5, 2008. Now you may say there's not much ice on it but keep in mind this is in Arizona where this shouldn't happen.
P.F. Chang's Rock N' Roll Arizona Marathon
Ok so after the last 5 posts being of things from last year here is something new. I was a water boy. That's right. My work sponsored a water station for the P.F. Chang's Rock N' Roll Arizona Marathon and 1/2 Marathon. I was in charge of Balloons and one water table.
Our water station was located at 7th Ave and Pierson in Phoenix.
X-mas 2007 with Family photos
So as you may know if you read my last post of the 2007 year, in December my grandmother passed away. So spending the Holidays with family was bittersweet. It was nice to spend a Holiday with the family even though grandma or "Gueli" as I called her was no longer with us.
I always wrote to my mother, a couple of my closest aunts, and Gueli throughout the year not just for birthdays and holidays, but just to keep in touch. I have always felt that handwritten letters are always more personal.
The last Christmas I spent with family was in 1999. The last time I spent time with my Grandma was in March of 2005 when I drove down to spend a whole week at home. The times since then I would write, and my mother and aunt came to visit a couple times throughout the 2005, 2006, and 2007 years, so I didn't get time to spend time with Gueli the past couple of years. My mother and aunt would always tell me that she held very dear to her all the letters and cards I sent her.
In 1998 My mother, cousin and Gueli drove to Arizona and went to the Grand Canyon. A few days before her passing I had mailed out a postcard of the Grand Canyon. The day my cousin and I arrived for the funeral was the same day the postcard arrived. She didn't get to see the postcard but I am sure she remembers that trip. She did receive her birthday card. Her birthday is in October so that was the last mailing I sent that she got. The day after her funeral I was in her room and she had her Birthday card on a chair that was near her bed. Sidenote - my mother was her 4th child out of eleven, and the last to be born in her room instead of a hospital.
Anyways I think I'll leave the rest of the memories to myself. Here's a photo of part of the family at church on one of the days of novenario. Novenario is where they have 9 consecutive masses for the person who passed.

Here's some photos from the Holiday Party 2007 at the Kiwannis park in Tempe, AZ with work friends:
First 2008 post!
I have been wanting to post for a while but one thing or another and I couldn't get to it. There's lots of stuff I would like to blog about. I didn't make New Year resolution so maybe I'll make it to post more often. Quick reminder I usually post first on blogger then on the rest, myspace, yahoo, etc. :)
Here's the links to the other places I blog:
... Updated February 14, 2010, yahoo 360 does not exist anymore, the link however should redirect to the new yahoo profiles
.... Updated April 13, 2025 - Removed the links to Yahoo 360 and Stumble Upon that don't exist any longer. WordPress took over the Windows Live blogs and so the link to that redirects to how it looked like when it was transferred. My windows Live blog was mostly just cross posting some of the posts from this BlogSpot. The last update on it was from September 2009 and then the only other post was from when it updated to WordPress, that for mine was October 2010. Removed that link also as not intention of updating it. Left the original list to somewhat preserve the original post.
