SOo....Thanksgiving was interesting to say the least.
The Plan: Go to my Grandma's house and celebrate this wonderous fill your face with food holiday with my Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, Cousin's GF, both Grannies, the Sister, Sister's Fiancee, Mi madre y mi papa.
The Plan (cont.): Uncle to fry the Turkey.
The Problem: Turkey fryer didn't work.
The BIGGER Problem: Hungry people
The Deal: To have Thanksgiving or to have a crappy Thanksgiving.
Time Elapse: Hour
The Solution: Turkey Fryer worked again. Await another hour or so, then head over to the Grandma's house.
The End: Had Thanksgiving dinner as planned.
The Next Day: Have another Thanksgiving dinner.
This amounts to: Shayne being fat and happy!!! BWAHAHAH!
So yes Thanksgiving was on the ropes, but in the end we all got together and spent it at my Grandma's house which she was very very happy about. When I was younger we used to have a lot of these family get togethers during the holidays, but as everyone got older, the fam bam holidays didn't happen so much. So it was nice having a fam bam holiday again.
On a Side Note: I became sick. I can't breathe worth anything, and I drool at night because I can't breathe! I chose to share that with everyone, because...now you understand that I really CAN'T breathe haha.
In Other News: I am starting to feel a little better :)
The End: Well...The End :)

Chistmas Shopping and Etta James!
One thing about online shopping, it's in the comfort of your own home. I'm currently sitting at the kitchen table, searching for my sister's christmas present. What did she ask for for Christmas?! A Louis Vuitton purse, or Coco Chanel. And well, lets just say, I do not have $1000-$3000 laying around. Although if it were that easy, I would definitely want to buy her one. She did ask for Michael Kors which is a little "cheaper" still expensive for a college student! So maybe...she'll get one of his purses. We'll see. I'm also listening to some Etta James online, and some other artists who have similar styles to Etta James! So I'm loving it. Quite nice actually. I also keep hearing car doors closing in the front, but I'm not sure if it's at our place. Oh well. That was a little random if I do say so myself!
Which strangely reminds me to post up a picture of my 12 String Guitar...eek! I did however, buy a Ukulele yesterday. I'm quite pleased. Although not made in Hawaii (I'm not complaining!) it's a great little starter Uke for me! It's a Fender Tenor Ukulele. I just love it!
Ok, so I thought I'd take a little break from online browsing to post this little blog. A little boring I know, maybe I'll do some vlogs or something. Ok, maybe not.
Well folks, I hope you are enjoying what's left of the day. I'm trying to. I have a meeting to head out to in a bit for the trip to Spain! I should be doing some studying..I need a 92 on this next test...why?! Because it'd be VERY helpful in the long run. The semster's running down, and I'm still trying to climb out of this hole I dug for myself! OY VEY!
Ok, that's all for now folks. Have a good one :)
PS If I haven't written already, the PFX Tour was awesome! That is all.

12 String Guitar for Sale!!!
About a year ago I purchased a 12 String guitar. I was intrigued with the 12 stringer when I played one at Guitar Center. Hence I thought of buying one. However, upon purchasing it, I sadly have only played it a good handful of times. I have a 6 String and I tend to keep coming back to it as old and banged up as it is. It's like a trustworthy friend haha. So I plan on selling my 12 Stringer.
It's a Mitchell MD 1002S 12 Here's the Specs from guitarcenter.com (http://www.guitarcenter.com/Mitchell-MD100S12-Dreadnought-12-String-Acoustic-Guitar-103561627-i1166439.gc)
The Mitchell MD100S12 is a full-sized 12-string dreadnought guitar with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides. This quality built guitar has all the traditional elements you would expect to find in instruments costing much more. Abalone rosette and purfling accents highlight this beauty. With plenty of volume and low-end tone, you can expect years of playing pleasure with the orchestral power of this 12-stringed guitar.

It's that Time of Year again...
So far we haven't even hit Thanksgiving and I have seen about a good handful of Christmas commercials slowly making their way on the air. Is it me...or did they come a little early this year? It sure seems like it haha. Well, a lot may know that Christmas time (second to Thanksgiving) is one of my favorite times of the year. Although it may not be good, it's the time of year I get to spend a lot of money on those I care about. I guess I like the feeling of giving...my problem: I like exceeding people's expectations...which usually means...more money. It's a bad habit that I suppose comes with my incessant need to please peeps. I have no idea. What can I say? I love wrapping the presents, and giving the presents. It is of course the season of giving :) SO I am thoroughly excited. I just have to go get some mulahah from my bank. O joy!
I also enjoy our somewhat newer tradition of walking down Christmas Tree Lane. For those who don't know...it's a few blocks of decked out houses in Christmas decor. Although it seems that it's getting smaller and smaller which is definitely unfortunate. I always remember driving down Christmas Tree Lane when I was little, and my mom would put the car radio onto the station playing all the Christmas songs. I'd sit in the back of the car in awe of all the lights and all the amazing outlandish things people did/do to their houses. For as long as I can remember, the Lane also puts out Santa's reindeers throughout different areas, and I would sit there and try to find all of them. Some homes haven't changed their decorations, like the Raggedy Ann/Andy workshop, and some houses have new decorations like the over-the-top house that could almost look like a part of Disneyland it's so decked out. It's just a great way to get into the Holiday spirit!! I'm looking forward to this years!
All this talk about the Holidays makes me want to start my Christmas shopping today...which was the plan until the laziness kicked. Who knows...maybe the next post I'll write a little bit about how I spend too much on people.
On a side note to which many may not care for: PFX tour starts tomorrow! I'll be heading over there Saturday I believe, so I'm excited!

Stuff Coming Up that I am Thoroughly Excited About!
Ok, I guess I could've thought of this one last night, instead of posting the useless not fun at all Snippets haha. Oh well.
1) UFC 105 is coming up this Saturday! Which means.....Family Fight Night! So yes, I am excited. That also means I get to see my Sister, which also means we get to eat food :) And ooo I should've asked her to make those BOMB Taquitos she made. Note to self!
2) The PFX tour is also this weekend. Yes, I am excited about this, and I'm sure many little Softballers are as well. A place where the Amateur's meet the Pro's...ah isn't it lovely? Especially since I don't even play Softball haha. I mostly go for the Pro Game and basking in the environment, as well as meeting some pro's. Last Year's PFX Tour was amazing.
3) Lack of school. So with Veteran's day comes no school on Wednesday which means no lab on Thursdays which in turn leads to three whole days of no school (today was another day of no school) Now the part I need to work on...taking advantage of these days and study!! Yuck!
4) Christmas is coming up, and that's the best time of the year...it means I get to spend too much money on those I care about. Ah it's lovely. Now my sister had asked for a LV bag, unfortunately I do not have 1000 + dollars, or else I would have. Oh well.
5) It's basketball season. That is all.
6) Turkey Day. How can I not put Turkey Day on this list?! It's great! It's by far my favorite holiday for the simple fact of...I get to eat...and eat....oh did I mention....eat. haha. Yes I love Thanksgiving food. It's just as good as our New Year's Japanese Feast we have. Oh loverly!!
7) Gabe Bondoc on December 18th. How can I not be excited about this?!
I think that's all for now. I know if may not be exciting for you, but for me...it's definitely exciting for me! Muahahah!

I Seem to Forget sometimes
Been a while!!! Not like a lot of people (if any) reads this haha.
Up...to buy or not to buy that is the question.
I guess I'm gonna snippet.
I have a minor busy day tomorrow. This pleases me. I enjoy being busy...to sit around and do nothing productive bothers me. Yet...I can't sit and study. Strange.
Almost done with the semester! YAY! or no Yay. It's a toss up.
Watching One Tree Hill. Why is there no Lucas and Peyton...it's just not the same, oh well.
Ate at a new restaurant that has the BEST rice ever! Yes I can tell the difference and if you took the time to notice, you might taste the difference as well! Ok, so I'm asian and it shows!
I believe I'm going to go do some A.T. tomorrow at practice. I need the hours, and what can I say? I love this stuff!
This is getting rather boring. I guess I should write my paper that's due in December muahaha~!!!
Ok this one is beyond Lame...peace and grease!
