Last night was a very disappointing evening. The Bachelor, a show that I’ve committed myself to watching all season was an absolute failure. First off, the winner was a girl who didn’t even deserve to make it on the Bachelor. Most bachelors would have ousted Sara during week 1 but noooo, Travis went blind and was poisoned by her kinder-charm. I thought Moana had it locked down. I’m serious people. I was super confident and if you saw the show last night, so was Moana herself. She got bitch slapped so hard by Travis that I felt some of the tingling from it!! Moana was sooo heartbroken that she lost her marbles during her limo ride back to the airport. "This pain I'm experiencing right now is so intense that I just want to crawl back in my shell and just hide," she said. She was sooo dramatic.. There was a point where I thought they'd have to pull over and give her oxygen. I mean, was that show for REAL last night????? And why did Travis only give her with a diamond ri...

I'm soooo over my injury its not even funny. I've spent the last week stuck at home... with doctor appointments and having to ice & now heat my back. I've got cabin fever like no other people! Me and the dogs have bonded like glue bonds with paper! I am feeling slightly better but I'm itching to get back to my normal life... you know the daily grind. I actually went out lastnight for happy hour at Brittania Arms in San Jose. It was Jackie my friends birthday and Neil and I went there around 7ish. It was fun. It was just nice to get out of the house! woohoo for me. I also went to the mall and bought my first pair of True Religion jeans. Yeah Yeah... they're so last year but i like em a lot. Holla!!! My girl Baharah has kept me occupied while I've been home and so has my mother and aunt. It's nice to have people working/going to school downtown because my house becomes a stop for all kinds of warm loving people! I'm so Xcited that its Friday. This wee...

So I am temporarily out of order. Yup. Since my accident, I've taken time off to recooperate my back. I'm going to attempt working from home this week to see how I hold up. Nuff about the crap I've had to talk about all week. That's why i have a lawyer. So as others would say, "Talk to my lawyer". Since I can't do much at the moment, i'll update you guys on pictures that I haven't posted and that is long overdue. My sister, Father and I all went to see Corteo in San Jose. Here are some pictures from our night. It was unbelievable. I am hooked of Cirque de Soleil from here on out. Going into the tent. Category 1 seats are a must. Jouvan is the CARVER! I knew it! I've been told my nose is large but NOT THIS LARGE! Jouvan looks like one of those San Francisco freaks. Right? Birthday Boy Dad and Rouge all Corteo'd out. Ok... My daddy looks a bit too vicious in here. I'm scared. Just when you thought it can't get scarier, jouvan joins t...

Retrived from Cnn.com RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) -- The Rolling Stones' monster free concert on Copacabana Beach was a gas, but the million spectators left a monstrous clean-up job on Sunday. About 400 city workers hauled almost 200 metric tons (220 tons) of trash left behind by the more than 1 million people who attended the concert, which brought a carnival spirit to the city a week ahead of the world-famous annual celebration. Organizers were already dismantling the huge stage, as well as the eight video screens and the 16 sound towers that allowed fans to take a glimpse of the sexagenarian rockers. Police officers on Sunday continued to patrol the upscale Copacabana district, which was still crowded with tourists who stuck around to enjoy the beach. Civil defense officials said nearly 500 people received minor medical treatment during and after the two-hour-long show on Saturday. The most serious cases were three stabbing incidents that took place during robbery attempts, but ...

Since I'm home today I've spent my time icing and spending time with our lovely doggies Rocco and Peezy. The two are growing up fast and so is their friendship. I spend a lot of time cudding with the 2 of them, mostly when their all tired from chasing eachother around the house. Neil and I seriously love these doggies as if they were our own flesh and blood. The older Peezy gets, the funnier he is! He's a fiesty little guy too. The hilarious thing about the two dogs is that Rocco was born 1 day after me and Peezy was born on the same day as Neil. They've got both of our signs, Leo and Sagitarius and they're personalities TOTALLY depict us!! That's deep! Here are some cute pictures of them for your enjoyment! Here's Peezy.. Looks like he's wondering what kinds of trouble he should get into next: This one is perfect for Valentine's day. They're not gay but they love each other so much that they kiss on the lips!! Please.. no brokeback mountain joke...

Happy Belated Valentines' day everyone. I hope your day was a whole lot better then mine. I was in a terrible car accident Tuesday morning at 9:30 am. The accident involved me, 7 other vehicles and was all caused by a stupid ass construction company that dropped a huge cement highway divider slab onto highway 87. The accident scared me to bits and pieces. Honestly, I don't remember much after hitting the thing on the highway. I remember talking to about a gazillion people and cops and shit but let me tell you, all i cared about was that my back & right shoulder was killing me. Fortunately, I'm alive and I'm still here and FORTUNATELY I didn't drive the cadillac to work. The beamer is now in the shop and I've been trying to take care of all the drama that goes along with car accidents including insurance, emergency room visits, claim #'s, tow trucks, adjusters, chiropracters and at the same time trying to let my work know that I won't be in this week....

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes - it's over! Life & Style has learned exclusively that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have agreed to call off their wedding - and, ultimately, to split. Multiple insiders confirmed the story to Life & Style, with one longtime friend of Tom's saying: "Their relationship is basically over." Another friend adds: "They both agreed that the marriage wouldn't work and they wanted to end it before they learned to hate each other." The insiders say that Tom, 43, and Katie, 27, plan to keep up the charade of a romance until after their baby's birth this spring. In the meantime, the couple will live in his Beverly Hills home - though sleeping in separate bedrooms - through the summer. Then, presumably, they'll announce a separation - but Tom plans to buy Katie a home nearby so he can visit his child whenever he wishes. "They'll share custody," says the friend, who claims the couple ar...

Valentine's day to me is shitty. I hate the commercials. I hate the pressure. I hate it all. And I find it funny that I can use the word HATE so many times for a day that's suppose to be filled with LOVE! What am i? The grinch? Maybe, but whocares. I think its the commercials that bug me the most but thanks to DVR I get to skip past most of those HOWEVER what I can't escape the the Valentine's Day Fiasco at the mall. I was at Valleyfair yesterday and I coudn't believe the jewlery stores. I mean, they were milking every last bit of this holiday. What am I going to do for Valentine's day? Well that depends mostly on my man but I guess we're planning on doing a romantic evening at home... Which isn't going to be too different because we're already super happy and affectionate and loving to eachother ... regardless of the day. So if my boyfriend doesn't do a whole SONG & DANCE routine for me on the 14th of February, should I be dissapointed? Shou...

This weekened was a first for me. Neil was having a boys' weekend golfing so his bro and stuff were all coming down to san jose to stay at our place, the 152. I offered them our place because I knew there would be a ton of things I could do while they were here. Friday night was awesome. I met up with Naazi, Naghmeh and Malcolm (+ the kids) for some sushi and major saki. Sakit to me baby!! By the time we were done, we were drunks. We decided to take the lil party back over to Naazi's where we dabbled into some Ketel One and when that was gone... it was tanqueray. Yum. I passed out on the floor around 2 am without even knowing it. I woke up at 8 am to Cyrus and Aryana jumpin on top of me. I kept saying.. "Pleaseeee 5 more minutess...". What woke me up was hearing Aryana scream at Cyrus. He was trying to drink my left over Tanqueray and OJ. I sprung up when I heard that jazz. I was pretty much out of it for most of the morning, having kids around isn't as easy as it...

As most of you know I went to my first ever hockey game. It was at the HP pavillion otherwise known as the shark tank. The sharks were playing against the Chicago Blackhawks. Fortunately, the sharks won 2-1 breaking the Blackhaws' 3 game winning streak. Neil and I had a lot of fun at the game. It was a lot better than watching it on TV and believe it or not, the puck isn't that hard to follow! It's pretty big & black. Here are some pics from our night at the Sharks game. Enjoy and Have a great weekend!!! me and neil... are spartened out. Go SJSU at the sharks game! The final score 2-1 Here are thg guys ice skating around ... don't ask me what they're doing.... The best sharks player was #19. He's really good. The view from our level 1 deck seats. not bad. Team from San jose do win! See, this is proof!!!

From The Chicago Tribune : Britney Spears has taken responsibility--well, sort of--for driving with her baby, Sean Preston, sitting in her lap. "I made a mistake and so it is what it is, I guess," Spears tells "Access Hollywood" in an interview that aired Thursday. Several photos published Tuesday showed Spears driving her sport-utility vehicle in Malibu, Calif., with her 4-month-old son perched on her lap. Spears has said she needed to escape a "horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi." X17, the agency that snapped the pictures, said they were taken "in a very peaceful context." Spears disagrees. "Being put in the situation that I was in, it was kind of bad with the paparazzi," she tells "Access." "Last week, my mom and I went out and they were on us really bad, so you instinctively do what you need to do." The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said it won't pursue any charges.

The Keys to Your Heart You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. You'd like your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change. You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic. Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. Your risk of cheating is low. Even if you're tempted, you'd try hard not to do it. You think marriage is something you've always wanted... though you haven't really thought about it. In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily. What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

What time is it? Shark Time! SO yeah! I'm super excited because I'm going to see a sharks game with my favorite guy ever *neil* and its suppose to be a great game plus I have great seats thanks to a co-worker. The game is at 7:30 tonight. GO SHARKS!! Anyways, I'm sure you're all wondering about my random ass post yesterday. Neil and I are now owners of a 2006 new Cadillac Escalade. I'm just soo excited to have this car. It has so many cool ass features plus XM radio, ON star and a navigation system. We can't wait to take it on a road trip. Any ideas??? I'll post pics as soon as I get a chance. Lastnight, I also went to a 4 hour dinner with my girl Alaleh. Blast from the past. We used to be best friends but we kinda went out seperate ways after college until now. Her parents own Rosie McCann's in Santa Cruz & Santana row. I was actually there for the santa cruz grand opening WAYYY back in the day. Anyways, so she's doing great and we had the best...

Going to Tahoe ... $80 Buying a snowboard.... $600 Buying a brand new Cadillac Escalade to go to Tahoe & SnowBoard... Priceless more to come...

I am sad to report another break up in LA-la land. This time its Cyclist Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow. here's the blurb I read on the web on a site i'd rather not mention: They were the golden couple of bike-riding cancer victims and horrible MOR country-rock singers everywhere. And yet Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow have split up right before their wedding. Here's the statement they released: After much thought and consideration, we have made a very tough decision to split up," the couple said in a joint statement. "We both have a deep love and respect for each other, and we ask that everyone respect our privacy during this very difficult time." Sounds just like Brad/Jenns and Nick/Jessica's and.... so cliche! I'm bummed about the whole thing because I honestly liked them as a couple but the good thing is that Sheryl Crow will have lots of emotions to get out on her guitar. Remember that song Picture she did with Kid Rock? God it was depressing! ...

What a weekend. Here's my QUICK weekend wrap-up. I have tons of work and not too much time to dillydally on rougetimes. That sux but here goes: Saturday was Jace's 6th birthday party which was held in the Black Oak Casino Bowling lanes. The party was packed with kids of all sorts of annoying ages and I was helping Neil's mom try to coordinate all the fun stuff. Jace is one of my favorites so I wanted the day to be perfect. After about 4 hours of birthday fun we headed over to Neil's dad's place with Josh to say hi and then headed over to my favorite restaurant the Peppery for dinner. Here are some pictures from Saturday's festivities: Neil with his Hot Mama: Josh and Neil teaching the kids how to bowl: Josh's new baby shaelyn (3mo old) Sunday things were a bit more calm. After already having drove 4 hours Saturday and leaving Peezy and Rocco alone, we thought we'd stay home on Sunday and chill. I was definately not in the mood to spend time in a car. Aro...

I thought as a motivating trend setter, I'd log my workouts on my webpage. Lame? ya think so? if you do, than just skip these posts. i don't wanna bore you... Today was day 3 of the " 2006 Ro " workout session. It was definately needed especially after the terrible golf experience I had this morning. I got to the gym around 4pm and I started out with cardio and did the following: 30 minutes of the elliptical 30 minutes of running 30 minutes of weights (tri's and chest) The picture above is a illustration of me walking home from the gym. My ass is grass. Friday nights are no longer for going out. They're for catching up with my "zzzzz....'s". Have a good One!!!

Waking up early is easy for me on days when I get to play golf. Since today was Intuit's annual ship trip, I was up and ready to go at 7:15. I got to the course (coyote creek) shortly after and started mingling with my co-workera and doing some practice shots. I felt great hitting the ball. Things seemed to be good without a brownie. That is until I stepped onto the course. I golfed with 2 of my co-workers Olivier and Chris. Both really good and both really fun to play with. We had a great time but I was playing soooooo sooo sooo bad that I think my score was in the high 180's. I usually shoot around 115 so that was freaking god awful. I managed to stay positive in front of two of Intuit's managers so that they notice that I stay calm and cool under extreme pressure. I think they had fun watching me fuck up. Whatever the case, I sucked ass today and I left as soon as we pulled up to the cars. The weather was also freezing until 1pm. That was 4 hours into our game. The sun i...

Jo sent me this email and I thought it was hilarious!! You know you're a 90's kid if... My Comments are in blue. You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!". Um yeah. That's me. You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air" It was philadelphia born and... You wore skorts and felt stylish. Skorts are still the shit! You yearned to be a part of the Babysitter's Club. I always jocked Claudia and Stacey. Jo and I even rented the movies on VHS. We'd also fight over who got to read the SUPER SPECIALS first! You use to love playing with your MY Little Pet Shop Musta missed this one.. You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey from "Blossom" and that "How Rude!" comes from Stephanie from "Full House" Stephanies now a meth head. How Rude! You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons. You wore a ponytail on the side of your head and had fluffed bangs 2 wor...

Katie Holmes is pregnant. Yes we all know that. But does she have to flaunt her belly like this in public? Probably not. In other baby news, I heard rumors that Britney Spears is expecting another bun in the oven. Could this be true? I just hope not because her hubbie can't take care of himself let alone ... wait.. how many kids does he have now? Let's switch subjects for a second. For those of you Narnia fans, I have great news. All you fawn lovin people (that's me!) can expect the 2nd installment of Narnia to hit the BIG screen Dec of 2007. British actors Georgie Henley, 10, Skandar Keynes, 14, Anna Popplewell, 17, and William Moseley, 18, will reprise their roles as the Pevensies. The first film, based on the book by my fave CS Lewis, has taken more than 637.8 million dollars (£359 million) at the worldwide box office so far, and £156 million in the UK. I wasn't all that thrilled with the first movie because I thought the special effects were corny. I hope the budget...

I know that I recently updated my site's interface however I wasn't too pleased with my blogger. It wasn't that I didn't like the look, its that the template I used wasn't compatible with other internet programs such as Fire Fox. The good news is that I only have to update the BLOG page on my site. So here it is... or should i say something like... Taaa Daaa.... Anyways, its time to hit the sack. My 2nd day of intense workout training continues tomorrow morning at 7 am. I'm going to work out 5 days a week until Persian New Year (March 20th). This will give me 6 weeks (30 total days) of gym time. If anyone's up to go hiking or on a bike ride, let me know because I'm always down for something other than the gym. Night.

Early last week I heard that my gal Madonna (aka Maggie aka Da Material Girl) was splitting with her long time hubbie Guy Richie. I was shocked and mortified but thought since the news wasn't official that it wasn't worth the worry. Now, I'm seeing this same issue still being published and you know what??? I THINK ITS TRUE!! Insiders have reported that the issues between the two is both work & kabbalah related. Either way, I can't believe it. First Jessica/Nick... and don't forget about Brad/Jennifer. Now Madonna? Maybe we need to drop the whole concept of marriage. No one keeps their vows anyways! Whatever. People irritate me now. Peace.

Can you believe how fast time flies!!! So Tony and Jackie live by my mom's house in south san jose. The...
