Sports Sunday: SBL Edition ~ Fanning for Manning

Peyton Manning is the Man!

Whether as an Indianapolis Colt or a Denver Bronco, I’ve always been a 📢fan.

• 👊🏻Stand-up guy
• 🍩Oreo Double Stuff w/brother Eli
• 🍕Papa John’s fly
• 🚘Nationwide’s pride
• 🏉Scored w/my homeboy in SB 41 ~ 1 & done, son!

So, as the AFC Champs🏆 play🏈 in the Bay🌉 today in their white, I’ll be DIY out of sight with my blue and orange spirit on bright! Rooting on this QB in SB 50! 🇺🇸

Sports Sunday: A-Rod Badace Pass

Alex Rodriguez has had my ♥heart♥ as a MLB *superstar*

♫Strolling Down Memory Lane♪ ☼Sunday☼ Cruise throwback: ♠A-Rod♠ with the *Texas Rangers*

• since he was a rookie with the Seattle Mariners over two decades ago
• through his career with the Texas Rangers
• and even when he went to the New York Yankees

♫Strolling Down Memory Lane♪ ☼Sunday☼ Cruise throwback: My blue-eyed girl ♥Asia♥ welcomes me home from Cali on Labor Day ’06 as we rep ♠A-Rod♠ & our *Texas Rangers* (selfie with my digi-cam before they existed on our smartphones & before iPhones existed!)

Despite the scandals that earned him a spot on my Top 5 Bawlers Ballers, I still admire him

• in the ball park
• and off the field

♫Strolling Down Memory Lane♪ ☼Sunday☼ Cruise throwback: I still sported my love for ♠A-Rod♠ back in the day on the West Coast on *4th of July ’07* in the Bay!

Now into the pro baseball post-season, catch ♠A-Rod♠ in action on FOX Sports!

Study Saturday: Prime Time Wisdom

Advice / Anecdotes (like the Alliteration?) from Fall TV

Grey’s Anatomy revolves around Dr. Meredith Grey (center), here with her ½-sister from her late mom, Dr. Ellis Grey’s side, Dr. Margaret Pierce, a.k.a. “Maggie” (to her right/viewer’s left) & sister-in-law from her late husband, Dr. Derek Shepherd, a.k.a. “McDreamy‘s” side, Dr. Amelia Shepherd (to her left/viewer’s right) after they demolished a wall ~ as my doc friend–turned published author says, we “build out of bricks,” so here these 3 are, starting over from scratch. #HomeReno #DISPObustAFlow Rando Info: Doesn’t the actress who plays Maggie look like the Special K commercial chick in lumberjack (red and black) plaid on a bus? | Courtesy ABC

Grey’s Anatomy on Leadership

Be worthy of being believed in, of being looked up to.

~ Dr. Edwards to “the other” Dr. Shepherd* (Feb. 26, 2015)

You have to lead.

~ Dr. Harmon to “the other” Dr. Shepherd* (Feb. 26, 2015)

Being a leader isn’t about whether they’ll listen to you, it’s whether they believe in you.

~ former Chief Dr. Richard Webber to new Chief Dr. Miranda Bailey (Oct. 1, 2015)

I call this GA 360 because this is relevant to followers and leaders alike:

• Mentors, in the resident’s case of following the attendings
• Speakers, in my college public speaking students‘ case
• Leaders, as I’ve studied for my Doctor of Philosophy

Confidence

“There’s a scientific study that shows that if you stand in superhero pose for just five minutes before a job interview or a big presentation or a really hard task, you will not only feel confident, but you will perform measurably better.

~ *Dr. Amelia Shepherd to Dr. Edwards on Grey’s (March 5, 2015)

From Big Bang Theory {next three examples}

Dr. Leonard: “I’m a little nervous” (about approaching George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch).

Dr. Sheldon Cooper: “Get over it. Confidence is key in these situations.”

Empathy

It’s an evolutionary advantage to be included in things.” [as I teach about affection being a basic interpersonal/social need]

~ Dr. Amy [played by real-life Ph.D. and the Blossom star from 2½ decades ago] about feeling left out to empathize with bf Sheldon

Alliteration and Assonance

You are the King Kong of Ping Pong. You are the Menace of Table Tennis … You said you played Badminton? More like Sadminton!

~ Dr. Howard to Dr. Raj

Progress

You know why you’re acting this way? You’re so close! I’ve been there … When you’re about to make a breakthrough. Keep going. Don’t stop.

~ Dr. Derek Shepherd to Dr. Caliet (wannabe mistress) on GA (March 26, 2015)

^– I most certainly must heed this as I approach my finish line! –^ 

Side chart note: Without McDreamy and McSteamy in the mix at Seattle Grace (now Grey-Sloan ~ bad-to-the-bone), it’s “Attending Poser” / *NEW* *HOT* Intern who I’ll chase [not really — just making time to rhyme as always all days]! #DISPObustAFlow 

Sports Sunday: Steve Nash

♪Is your game MVP like Steve Nash?♫ ~ Nelly Furtado

My fave *MAV* duo: Dirk Nowitzki (#41) & Steve Nash (#13) ~ Bobble Heads & Nesters of my exclusive sports memorabilia collection

A whole decade ago, my ♥former fave Mav♥ was named NBA‘s Most Valuable Player with ☼Los Suns☼ the same season he was traded there from Dallas. Now he’s retiring as a LAker…

Steve Nash: an accomplished athlete

My ♣lucky No. 13♣ has been †blessed† with his mad skills as

• a baller on the court, as well as
• ♠kicked ace♠ on the soccer field and
• faced off on the ♦hockey rink♦! ✌

Soul Saturday: Pride and Heritage

Fresh Off the Boat = Fresh On Point!

Throwback: I sport my red adidas track suit while my †GODdaughter† & I pose w/my ♥Double A–Team♥ @ the ♪piano♫ 5y ago!

 As an Asian Gen-Y, I absolutely agree with the points addressed by the main character of this season’s new ABC sitcom, Fresh Off the Boat! I can totally relate to Eddie for the following reasons:

• We both sport T-shirts with black heroes ~ to celebrate Black History Month, here are my share

Ray Lewis: Super Bowl XLVII Champ of the Baltimore Ravens

Dallas Mavericks: NBA Finals Champions 2011!

Old School: Grant Hill played for Coach K in *Team USA*

•  We both look up to Shaq ~ who is a fellow Ph.D.

• We jam out to rap
• We dig video games
• We have a diverse bunch of friends
• Our names start with E
