Happy New Year!

Ah! Happy New Year! 2012 is coming closer. People all over the world are going to be celebrating the new year. It's a time to start over fresh. I love the New Year Celebration we have every year! Unfortunately, just like 4 days after New Year's day, gotta... go... back... ugh... to school... But, you get to have a 2 week winter break. Winter break "flies" though (just how "time flies").   :-(

The Social Network Connection

Social networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc, have been taking over peoples' time. From my point of view, Facebook (literally) is the only "book" we read everyday. People are on FB almost 24/7. 10 years ago, people interacted with E-mail and it was much more "formal". These days, if you send someone a happy b-day E-mail, they might or might not read it. But, on the other hand if you put it on their Facebook wall, there is a 95% chance of that person seeing it (provided that they even have a Facebook Account).
Now, even before jobs hire people they check Facebook. Even if you have "Straight A's", if you have nasty stuff on your Facebook Wall... I'll let you see for yourself...
It's great people have found their old friends from long ago, but I think people are abusing their social networks like crazy! They talk about almost everything on there! Even kids (some under legal age) use Facebook. Mostly becuz they want to be popular. Personally, I like the Facebook games. LOL!!
And yes, I saw the "share on Facebook and Twitter" thing on the sidebar. I just felt like putting that there.

My vacation was AWESOME!!

OMG! I had a great vacation during the Winter Holidays. My first destination was our hotel in Anaheim, CA. I got there on Thursday, December 22, and on Friday, I went to Santa Monica Pier. You know, at first I didn't want to go there. It was a 1 hr. 15 min. drive from our hotel (in Anaheim, CA). But in the end, the beach was AMAZING! The best beach I've probably ever been to! We reached the place just around 10:00 AM. We left at about 5:00 PM. Just as we were leaving, someone was selling mangoes with some (red) spicy powder, some lemon juice, and salt on them. It was SOOOO GOOD!! We got like 5 packs with 10 (modified) mangoes in one pack.
Saturday was Disneyland. The first ride my family (not including me) went to was Space Mountain. I hate roller coasters with "dips", and I assumed it had dips. But, when my cousin came back he told me there were no "dips". What a waste of 30 mins. Then, we (all) went to Star Tours. That was an amazing 3D ride! It does this thing where it scans all the seats and randomly picks out a person. Well, it took my pic in complete darkness and called me the rebel spy! After we finished that ride, we went to California Disney Adventure because we had a park hopper ticket. I think the only ride I did not go on was California Screamin'. Just looking at it, I was scared. It goes in a loop too!! My 7 ½ year old bro went on the coaster 3 times!! I didn't even go once! The scariest ride I went on was the Hollywood Tower Of Terror. I thought it was just an elevator and that the video at the beginning was a joke. But, I was caught off guard. The swinging gondola at the Ferris Wheel was so funny... My mom was like hanging on for dear life! LOL!! The fireworks machine wasn't working, but we watched the Fantasmic Show.
Sunday was Legoland day. I was in Legoland for Christmas day, but I enjoyed Disneyland better. I got a Driver License, and I got super wet at this ride in a boat.
I didn't get to go to Universal Studios, but maybe next year.

Oops... I was a little too confident about the Lakers :(

Ok... Maybe I was a little too confident about the Lakers... Seriously they aren't really that good this year. They lost to the Clippers!! Not once, but TWICE!!! I don't know what they were thinking when they traded Lamar Odom. I mean, seriously, they just gave him to the Mavs for nothing. Lucky that they've only (badly) lost the preseason games, but I'm not saying that's necessarily a good thing. They came close the first game against the Bulls (88 - 87). But, the season hasn't really even started yet, therefore giving the Lakers more time to "get their act together".

Going on Christmas vacation!!

Finally! Going to LA again! I LOVE that place - it's so cool. I like the (so called) "city"... I mean, the skyscrapers and tall buildings. Businesses... I really enjoy Disneyland and Universal Studios. This year, I'm going to Legoland! By the way, my Chromebook has 3G and I'm writing this from my car.

Kobe Bryant All Set for 2012 Season

Kobe... Kobe... Kobe... Kobe Bryant is one of the top passers in the league. But, he's also a ball hog. Well, it's not like he wanted to or anything, but, very few of his teammates can consistently shoot well. Lamar Odom is an AWESOME player too, but he's on the Mavs now. That's gotta suck! So, I guess Kobe has no choice, but, to ball hog. Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum are both okay, but they aren't consistent.
The good thing is that Kobe went to one of the best knee specialists in the world (in Germany), and he's back with a vengeance! Now, that's what I call a "winning spirit"!!  So, if you want Kobe (and the Lakers) to win the NBA Finals, you are awesome! Yeeaahh!!!

NBA 2K12 Is Now In Stores!!

Finally! A 2K Sports game for all game consoles. A 2K Sports game even on iOS devices! I like the PS3 controls the best, though. 2K Sports was even smarter this time. Selling 2K12 on iOS devices was an awesome idea. This way, more people can buy it because more people have smartphones these days. So, now it's portable for playing "on the go". I really liked the old 2K games (For Example: 2K10 and 2K11). If you get used to it, the one-finger thing is really cool (for iOS devices). But, at first it's kinda confusing...
If you're just looking for a good video game or, maybe, a good holiday present, just go to GameStop or Amazon, or some other video game store to buy NBA 2K12. I'd rate it 5 Stars!

Yeah! 2012 Basketball Season!!

Oh yeah! 2012 NBA season is almost here. This year the Lakers are taking everybody DOWN, DOWN, DOWN! I'm very sorry Lebron James, Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Bosh, etc; but you are gonna get PWNED by the Lakers! I see it. I might be wrong, but I still have a lot of hope in L.A. I came out of the room I was born in, and, there, in front of my eyes, a Lakers game was going on! How cool is that? And, Chris Paul might come to L.A. Now that's kinda like domination, seriously. So, get some time on Christmas (day) and WATCH that Lakers game.
Good luck to ALL the teams and may the best team win!!!

Until Next Time
