Datu Knows x Play Action Shoot

49ers vs Vikings (September 23, 2012) – Photo by Terrell Lloyd & edited by Melissa Datu

I wanted to share my first official post on Play Action Shoot! Since the rest of the crew (Terrell & Kym) are currently working at the 49ers/Jets game, I didn’t want to sit on the couch and do nothing.

So this is how I spent my Sunday.

I edited pictures and blogged at home, while the crew is away at the game. I wanted to contribute one way or another. Check it out!

Let’s go NINERS!

C’mon! Are You Kidding Me?!

Dear NFL,
Allow me to contribute to this social media frenzy. Tweets and re-tweets are not enough for this gal.

I truly tried to forget about it. Maybe keeping ESPN on after the MNF game wasn’t the wisest idea. I almost chucked my remote at the television in pure frustration.

I’m taking the smarter route by choosing to blog rather than having to eventually purchase a new flat screen at Best Buy this weekend.

2012 // Tailgate : 49ers vs Lions

September 16, 2012 

Football is finally here!!

Yesterday was the San Francisco 49ers home opener at Candlestick Park! I enjoyed my first tailgate of the season with good friends and family.

The place was packed (more than usual), due to the fact that the 49ers just came off an amazing 2011-2012 season. Even though I only hung out for a couple hours, since I had to be on the field for work; I still had a great time.

One Word: WOW!

This is not a recap. It’s more of a reaction post.

I refuse to spit out stats and numbers on this one. You can look that up elsewhere. But, I will give props when props are due, and frankly the San Francisco 49ers deserve just that.

Some may think that I’m looking through “red and gold” glasses when sharing my opinions, because I’m a 49ers fan. But I like to think the opposite. I can be biased at times; however, I try to take that out of my writing.

No Surprises

Press play and thank me later.

I’m the type of person who hates surprises. Call me a bit of a control freak, but every part of me needs to know the basic who, what, when, and how. That’s just me.

However, last year’s 49ers season wasn’t expected at all and this time I can’t complain.

No one could have called it. They had a depressing 6-10 record the year before and no real sign of hope in the near future. Confronted with an NFL lockout, made it even more difficult to stay optimistic.

2012 // Giants vs A’s 

Jennifer (the birthday girl) and Justin

Giants vs A’s – May 18, 2012

I thought it be best to put this up, especially since the San Francisco Giants are currently #1 in the NL West. Yeah, you heard me! They may have lost today against the Atlanta Braves, but you can’t win them all!  But did you guys catch last night’s game? Giants got them in extra innings!

Back to the photo diary…

If you’ve read my last post, I went to a game back in May. Well, I went to this game (Battle of the Bay) that same week, just a few days later. The occasion: Jen’s birthday!

Giants vs Rockies – May 14, 2012

Our view from the bleachers

This game was on a Monday and it was the only day that me and the rest of my co-workers could get together. I got the whole crew to join me at the ball park!

For those of you who don’t know me personally; besides being a full-time sports fan, I am also a part-time waitress at Hukilau. It’s located in San Jose‘s Japantown and it’s the only Hawaiian restaurant in the area, so you can’t miss it!

2012 // Giants vs Phillies

Giants vs Phillies – April 18, 2012

Before I get to the pictures, I wanted to give a shout-out to a subscriber of mine. You know who you are! Honestly, your compliment made my day and it’s people like you that push me to work hard! Thanks for reading and your support!

As mentioned earlier in my last post, I have been a regular at AT&T Park recently. I promised myself that I would attend more Giants games this season. So far, so good!

This is the first installment of my Giants photo diary. It’s a short one, since I arrived at the game late (I will explain more in the end), I couldn’t take that many pictures. Nonetheless, I hope you all enjoy!

2012 // Warriors Filipino Heritage Night 

Warriors vs Bucks – March 16, 2012

I wanted to share some photos of the last Warriors game I attended, especially after getting all that stuff off my chest in my last post.

I know what you’re probably thinking. March was a long time ago. There was plenty of Warriors basketball after that. Well, like I said earlier, my frustration would interfere with my need to watch them play. It’s that simple.

I’m not going to lie. I only went to the Oracle Arena twice last season, and in both games they lost! That’s a big dip in attendance for someone like me. I used to go all the time!

My Thoughts as a Warriors Fan

I’ve been on a hiatus. I know! And I’m so SORRY!!!

Instead of spitting out a bunch of excuses to you all, I’m going to put in work.

Actually, I’ve just been really stressed out lately and the one thing I decided to do today was blog! And I’m going to start with this rant. I’ve been holding a lot in, but it’s time to vent.

It may be a little random and out-of-date (since the Warriors aren’t even playing right now), but I’m still posting it up anyways.
