surprise for Donovan

So while we were in the ER this past Friday, Donovan missed a party at school. It was also where they were going to announce the raffle winners for a fundraiser he worked really hard for. He was able to raise over $150 and thought he wouldn’t be able to win anything since he didn’t go. He was in tears when I told him he had to miss it.

Lastnight, Janet came home with a gift basket and free tickets for six flags Vallejo! Donovan went through the roof when he found out he won something!

He’s pretty much been running the show here while I’ve been laid up so I’m really glad he was able to see some reward!

Congrats Donovan and thanks for helpping your brother, sister and me!

FATLACE vs. PACQUIAO

Pacquiao Nike Quickstrikes! Props to the FTLC crew for getting these. According to Mark, 200 made, Manny is getting the first half for family & friends and the last 100 is split between Fatlace, UNDFTD & Niketowns SF/LV.

Pretty safe to say, I will not have a chance at these! Godspeed to those on the hunt!

WBC – Good luck Japan!

The other night Donovan and I had this conversation:

Don: Dad, am I able to play for Team Japan when I get older?
Me: Probably not, I’m pretty sure you have to be Japanese.
Don: What about Team Philippines?
Me: Well, if you’re old enough to play in the WBC, maybe you can get onto the Philippines Little League team *chuckle*
Don: Huh?
Me: Oh nothing…
