Well it’s pretty much televised everywhere that the Lakers lost to the Cavaliers yesterday on Christmas day. I did some observations and analyzed what mistakes the Lakers are committing. In order to secure their title for 09-10 championship, they need to fix some problems within their strategy:
1. CHANGE the bench!
We all know that Vujacic, Farmar, and Morrison are not helping, why not trade them! Just because Kobe is close friends with Vujacic, doesn’t mean the franchise has to keep him. Get new talented rookies! Look at the Milwaukee Bucks’ Brandon Jennings, Golden State’s Stephen Curry, or Sacramento Kings’ Tyreke Evans, those are the players that the Lakers NEED and WANT!
2. Gotta make Bynum HOT!!!
Bynum has to shoot and has to defend. Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol can’t carry the games all the time, they need their big man to step it up!
3. Odom has to contribute some POINTS
As an extra forward, Odom needs to assist with extra points. Without Odom’s help, the Lakers will have a lesser chance in winning the title again.
During this winter vacation, I’m gonna try to use my free time wisely. I’m going to start cooking some challenging, yet scrumptious recipes.
My first attempt will be Martha Stewart’s chicken stuffed with savory duxelles. I’m gonna cook the recipe for the whole family tomorrow. I’m hoping not to mess up because it’ll be our dinner for tomorrow night.
Finally, Paramore released their new album, Brand New Eyes, following their top selling album, Riot. Paramore incorporated songs that differ from their usual genre. The songs “Misguided Ghosts” and “The Only Exception” showcased Hayley Williams’ soft and mellow voice rather than her usual powerhouse voice.
I noticed that the album seems to mellow down from their previous album, Riot, which distinguishes both albums apart. This strategy proves to work because it prevents fans from comparing the albums.
Overall, I give the cd a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
My prediction for the songs that will make it on the top charts are “Careful,” “Playing God,” “Brick by Boring Brick,”, “Looking Up,” and “All I Wanted.”
I decided to buy myself a model of the car that I would really want to have, and that’s the Ferrari F430. I enjoyed building the model so much that I can’t wait to get more of these toys and start on my model car collection.
Everyone seem to look forward to the day they can legally drink and call themselves real adults, but for me, I’ve been dreading the cursed day. It feels like it’s the pinnacle of your entire life, for once you’ve reached the zenith, everything around you seem to disperse in different directions. Maybe I’m just overreacting, but isn’t there a reason why people created the store “forever21,” that the phrase means more than it portrays. For once in my life, I realize that I am aging, that youth…vanishes overtime.
I was all by myself today, enjoying the first day of vacation, when suddenly the door bell rang. Before opening the door, I had to check first who it was from my bedroom window. To my surprise, it was the UPS truck with a package delivery. I then opened my door and saw 2 packages for my mom. I was very curious what was inside the 2 boxes, and was very eager to open it. However, it wasn’t mine and it would be rude to open it without my mom’s permission. When my mom got home from work, I told her about the packages. She smiled and told me straight up that it was her surprise for me and my sister. I got very excited. She then told me and my sister to open the boxes. To my surprise, she got my sister a new digital camera, and I on the other hand got a new camcorder. For all I know, my mom is more of a techie than I am. She knows the best and affordable brands of technological gadgets.
My mom got me a JVC Everio G Series HDD camcorder.
JVC Everio GZ-MG330 Series
“Everio has been redesigned to offer more satisfaction in a smaller, lighter body. It’s the world’s smallest* and lightest* hard disk camera, so you can shoot actively without fatigue, and travel with lots of space left over when you pack your bags.Elegant and slim HDD/micro SD Hybrid Camera with KONICA MINOLTA LENS, 35x optical zoom, easy to navigate Laser Touch Operation and 30GB HDD for up to 37.5 hours of recording.”
I felt excited, at the same time a bit guilty for receiving such an expensive gift. I told my mom she didn’t have to get it for us, and asked why she even bought us such extravagant gifts. My mom told us that the gifts are for our hard work in school. At the end of the day, I felt very happy, not because of the gift I got, but because of having such wonderful parents. I do hope that by late June when I receive my final grades, I’ll get all As to make my parents happy. The good grades will also serve as a an exchange gift for the gadgets they got for me and my sister, haha
After enduring the last day of finals, I completely took advantage of the free time I had and watched a marathon of t.v. shows from NBA basketball to the results of American Idol. While on my computer, I realized that the first episode of Glee was already uploaded. After watching the first episode, I absolutely fell in love with the show, especially the show’s rendition of the song “Don’t Stop Believin.” I immediately downloaded the full version of the song and constantly listened to it. As you can tell, a blog about this show proves how much of a fanatic I am already.
Here’s the show’s trailer, if you want to check it out:
If you’re really interested, the full episode can be viwed in Hulu:
