Shaq was here!!!

Darwin and I went to Universal Citywalk yesterday because Shaquille O'neal was there to visit his fans. He gave "Thanks Shaq" t-shirt to all his fans and I got one!!! But it's too big for me (XL size) so it's gonna be added to one of my sleepwears.. hahaha. He arrived at exactly 3:10pm at Team LA merchandise store but he only stayed for a couple of minutes.. I tried to take pictures of him but im too short so I went to the other side (near Hard Rock) and tip-toed. Good thing I know how to balance myself. I remember I mastered that when I was still taking ballet lessons during my younger years (dba Abbie?)



I took this shot... whoo! It's best I can do...


Shaq has been known to say some "interesting" things. I heard this in the morning news while I'm about to leave my apartment last Friday.

- About his relationship with Kobe Bryant: "It's sort of like ancient karate movies.
Think about it. The master trains his young disciple. Then when the young disciple gets some (expletive), they think they can do better."

- On his trade to Miami: "I just like to look at it like this. Agent O'Neal did a great job for the FBI in Los Angeles. His time is up there. And now he just has to relocate to Miami."

- O'Neal even discussed his ability as a GM: "The Heat being able to get me and keep
Dwyane Wade? That's how good I am. You know I have great general manager skills. I old them if I go somewhere, I'm going to a good team. I'm not a dummy."

Last Saturday, I asked Darwin if we can go to 3rd street promenade after his exam. We just strolled the whole strip and didn't go to any shop (hanep sa control ano!) except Hear Music Coffeehouse. It's a first-of-its-kind record store that combines a Starbucks coffeehouse with a music listening bar. Customers can create their own personalized CD compilation. We're both curious on how it works so we sat on their music bar. We found out that their music database is limited. I listened to Salt 'n Pepa's "Let's Talk about Sex"... It's funny coz I used to memorize that when I was still in Grade 6 and I have a video lip-syncing the whole song with DJ.. hahaha
