Remembering Gloria

Today was Gloria Gadioma's funeral. For those of you who don't know Gloria she was one of my volunteers at the American Stroke Association. This year she succumbed to cancer. She will be extremely missed.

My memories of her have been always positive as she was. Although I knew she was fighting cancer she showed up on Saturdays giving her time to the organization. Always there with a big smile and encouraging others. She was an inspiration to many. Sometimes she would set a goal of what she was going to do that day and most of the time she would exceed it.

Another fond memory of Gloria was when I saw her she would complement me. Gloria would always ask if I had been losing weight. She would go on to say that I looked good. Who doesn't love to be complemented on the way you look, right?

Gloria Gadioma - I will miss you. You've have touched me and many others while you were with us. Your memory will live on. Rest in Peace Gloria!

Gym

I must be in a bad mood because I was really irked today by a couple things at the gym. Well irked and grossed out.

One there was dude wearing really small tight shorts. Really? Do you want the whole gym to see your package. Gross!

Two I'm working out in front of the mirror then some dude goes right in front of me and starts doing his stretches. Hello?!? You saw me here. Rude!

Three his girlfriend, wife or whatever the hell she is comes. You guys start making out in front of me. Tongue and everything! Yuck! This is a gym. Go home and do your thang not here.

Blah!

Weekend

Here are a couple things I posted on my Facebook in case you missed it:

Got to love Filipino Moms. My mom says in a deep Filipino accent - I like that song. The one - Bad Romance. What's her name - Lady Caca.

Just tore my place apart looking for my keys. It was in my pocket. Dumbass.

Wishing everyone a Very Mery Christmas unless you're my parents. Based on the card they gave me - Happy Hannukah!

Happy Birthday Dean!!!

Hannukah?

Yesterday I spent Christmas Eve with family on my dad's side. It was fun and always an abundance of food.

Anyhow we get to the gift exchanging part and my father hands me a card. I always appreciate cards especially ones with cash inside. As I open the card I'm a little bewildered. Check this out:

My parents got me a Hannukah Card. I love how the monkey is holding a menorah. Obviously not paying attention when buying cards. It was a good laugh.

Merry Christmas everyone or according to my parents - Happy Hannukah!

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas

Wishing all of you a Very Merry Christmas!

Auntie

A message left to me by my friend & old roommate Stacey on facebook:

Malia and I were looking at pictures on sunday and there was a picture of you holding her at the La Brea Tar Pits. I asked her - Who's that? She said, "Auntie!" I was dying!

In Memory of Gloria Gadioma

The E-mail I received from her husband, Jim:

My wife Gloria Gadioma completed her final marathon, crossing the finish line of Life at around 8:30 a.m. PST this morning, December 21. She finished at 55 years, 7 months and 19 days. We thank all those who cheered her on, especially during the last few weeks through their thoughts, prayers, visits, text messages, phone calls and emails. We are sure she is glad to have known you all as she can now cheer us on from her own Victory Banquet with the Heavenly Hosts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She was one of the most sweet, kind, caring, dedicated individuals with whom I had the pleasure to work with while I was with the American Heart Association and Train to End Stroke. Your spirit lives on. Rest in Peace Gloria.

Mazar

For those of you who watched Dancing with the Stars Debi Mazar was a contestant on the current season. Did you know that she was a B-Girl? Spot her in Graffiti Rock opening credits.

I highly recommend him.

Charity?

On the Thursday before Thanksgiving I had gone to a hip hop class in West Hollywood. Afterwards Henry had invited me over for dinner and I agreed to go. On the way I had stopped at 7-11 to grab a drink. As I left my car a man approaches me. He says I'm not asking for money. I was just wondering if you could buy food for myself and my wife. In the spirit of Thanksgiving I would be grateful.

I agreed. So he was grabbing food. More than I thought but I figured even though I'm unemployed I am able to survive and I would help someone who is need. As I am ready to pay I hear a cell phone ring in his pocket.

Of course in my head - How can you afford a cell phone and not food?

I didn't say anything and went ahead and paid for everything. As I was walking out I was second thinking my actions. Did I actually help someone or was I duped?

Family Guy

I have an extreme love for Family Guy. I only own all the DVD sets. I just bought Volume 7 last week. Anyhow Seth McFarlane had a special weeks ago with Alex Bornstein. Watch the video of my favorite part of the show. It was frikkin Hilarious!!!

Dance!!!

I love this video. Watch the end where the little kid tears up the choreography!

Brother

Happy Birthday to My Younger Brother Jeffrey

Rain

It's currently raining here in LA and for some reason when it rains I always think of this song.
