Fifty-Seventh Entry
I have just learned that there is one other person who reads my blogs regularly...Mylinh. So that brings my total readership to 2 people. Look out SF Chronicle! I should put a counter on my blog page to see exactly how many people actually visit my blog page...ahhh, no.
Today I subbed at Wilson Elem. It was fine except for the fact that the class was bilingual(I don't speak Spanish) and that half of the class was misbehaving. I was super-tired too because I stayed up til 3am watching the World Cup, not thinking that I would get called in today. But I got through the day. Whew.
I decided to go back to my original page design because Mylinh said that it was too hard to read. I agreed and changed it back. I hope its back by now.
bye

Hey all. I mean, hey Lisa (I am convinced that you are the only one who reads this...if I am wrong(doubtful) email me at astralfly522@hotmail.com). I am in a much better mood than this morning when I wrote the 51st blog. I have pretty much given up on the fact that Portugal will advance to the next round. A lot of stuff needs to happen for them to make it...very unprobable. I chalk it all up to World Cup inexperience. Oh well, I will now root for the USA!! Their performance last night was stunning(have I heard that somewhere?) They have a good chance to make it to at least the quarters, assuming they draw Mexico in the next round(probable.)
Enough about soccer. I made my monthly trek to In n' Out today. Number 1 Animal Style and a chocolate shake...mmmmmmm. It was very good. Louis was complaining on the drive home that he was too tired. "I can barely keep my eyes open(violins)." Wah, wahwahwah, wahwah, wah(think Charlie Brown.)
Plans for the rest of the week: none. If they don't call me to sub then I won't do anything. Yay!

No subbing at all this week. It is to be expected though. Its the last full week of school and the teachers want to be in their classes for the last time **sniff**. Ya right. They probably just ran out of sick days or something.
Major upset last night in the world of World Cup soccer. USA def. Portugal 3-2. Very disappointing. I always knew that the US had a stronger team than they were given credit for. I just didn't think they were strong enough to beat Portugal. And I always knew that Portugal was always very slow to start their games. But not this slow. Two of the goals in the game were own goals which tells me that neither team is perfect. Should they make it to later rounds, they will falter against the likes of Brazil, Argentina, Spain(??) (more perfect teams.)
Predictions: USA will win the group, Korea Republic in 2nd, leaving Portugal and Poland(no surprise here) with tickets to ride...on a plane home.
Scenarios: USA and Portugal will win against Poland because they suck. If Portugal can blow out Poland in their next game, they will be in a good position on goal differential, should it come to that. If USA wins their next game (against Korea) they will win the group. If Korea somehow manages to keep the game tied or win, Portugal stands a chance at winning the group, if they can beat Korea. It does not bode well for Portugal. They really do not deserve to win anything after the horrible performance they put on last night. I would be happy if the US made it to Quarters, but they will have to beat either Italy or Mexico.
Onto happy business. There is none.

Fiftieth Entry
Hey!?! Hay!
Saturday was the Cherry Festival here in lovely San Leandro, California. I got up early to watch the parade go down Marina Boulevard. It was a nice parade...it always is a nice parade. So there we were, my dad, Firmino, Jen and Dayni watching the parade and gathering all the candy we could. After the parade, we went to Marina Family Park and walked, talked and ate our way through the actual Cherry Festival. It was a lot bigger than last years. The food was great and the freebies were even better. The weather could have cooperated a little more. It was cold and windy.
Later that night, my family went and saw Firmino in what was supposed to be his last performance as Millet in Fuddy Meers. It went really well:
"It gets funnier each time I see it!!" - Jen, of San Leandro
"I laughed, I cried, it was a stellar show!!" - Phil, of San Leandro
Anyway, they are going to have another performance next Saturday and a Matinee on Sunday. Very nice. I will go on Sunday at 3pm because my brother is in that one and not in the Saturday show.
Yesterday was a full day indeed! Jen, Carolyn, Lisa and I went to Brentwood to pick cherries. We picked Strawberries and Peaches also, but not in the quantity that we picked cherries. One estimate has the cherry count at ~43 lbs. Thats a lot of pie and cheesecake. I'm thinking of making the cheesecake a cherry/chocolate cheesecake, what do you think??
Anyway, we picked a lot of cherries and ate at fast food places not of my choosing(haha) and fed a cow. It was a fun day.

Forty-Ninth Entry
Tonight was my brothers debut as Millet in the SLHS performance of Fuddy Meers. He was much better than I had expected, and much better than the other guy who played Millet 2 weeks ago. I am proud of my brother and his performance. He did really well.
After the performance, we(Daynario, Jen and Louis) went to TGI Fridays in Union City. It was good. I had the Mushroom, Onion and Swiss burger. MMMMMM. Along with an Ultimate Long Island Iced Tea. Double MMMMMM.
Afterwards, the night seemed to prematurely end when noone wanted to do anything, but now, only 10 minutes after getting home, I am tired and want to go to sleep.
Tomorrow is the Cherry Festival Parade!! It promises to be a fun experience.
