Chilly In Frisco.

Went up to Frisco on Sat. with the guys to try the pho challenge at Pho Garden. It's essentially three large bowls of pho placed into one bigger bowl. Four lbs of noodle and meat. Mmm..sounds savory already. So yeah, we drove up to Fremont and took the bart there for like an hour. Waited around for some beezies who ended up ditching us. Fags. Bunch of otakus, about 120% of them were gay. Spent another hour looking for the restaurant. By the time we got there, we already had passed by several sushi bars and hot pot places so we were like, fuck it, let's go hot pot. It was pretty good, my second time having hot pot. The last time I went, I was like eight? Finished up there but everyone was still hungry. Walked around the venue some more until we found a random sushi bar. Ate there. I got the bento box, which btw, is TOTALLY worth it. Beef teriyaki and chicken katsu goodness :D. Teak ordered some lychee flavored sake and it fcukin' tasted like throwback medicine in the days. I was actually afraid to try it since it had alcohol, albeit not much but only because I'm allergic to it. Yeah. Go figure. It's weird. I mean, I'm not planning to become alcoholic [god forbid] but it runs in the family. My pops had it and my brother Sam has it.

Basically, our faces would get blood red, we start to get migraines and we'll become dizzy and flustered. All it takes is a couple of sips and we're done in D: . Even though Sam suffers, he still drinks like any normal alcoholic would. In fact, I believe it's not as strong of effects for him compared to my pops and I. I only recently found out that I have it. Fortunately, the alcohol content in the sake wasn't much, like 5%? I think it was really diluted by the other ingredients.

Got back to SJ around 9-ish, went to Mickey D's to pick up a vanilla shake and headed home afterwards. The guys went to go see The Goods, which is a movie that I wanna see as well but since I was pretty tired, I opted out. They even went to go eat again after the movie. Those guys sure aren't thrifty.

Have you ever been on a SF city bus? Them bus drivers are crazy.

District 9 and prawns?

Went to go see District 9 today with a few friends today at Century 21. It was actually a really good movie. At first I thought it would be just any other sci-fi alien movie like Independence Day or War Of The Worlds but it wasn't. Very original work and it had a documentary/action style that worked well together. The main themes are hidden quite nicely and you don't really expect anything until it hits you. Go see it. I recommend it, strongly :]. Peter Jackson did a number on this one.

DOLORIAN!

Went to Carmel Beach today with a few friends. We kinda got lost in Carmel City but eventually found our way. Lol. I'll tell you now, if you haven't been there, the residents are fucking richhhh. I can barely remember what cars we saw but holy shit were they nice :]. Vereak said the city is the host of Tour De Elegance or some shit like that where people come to show off their rides. Wow. I guess we came at the right time. Of course we took a shitload of pics, it was nearly irresistible. Not too many chances do you get to see so many McLarens and Lamborghinis in one place. We even spotted the Dolorian! A mo'fucking Dolorian. Lol. It was awesome. Props to Vereak on that one.

Aside from the massive roadshow of fine cars, the beach was pretty cool. Grilled some burgers, attempted to make a sand castle, scaring off flocks of seagulls, HIDING from flocks of seagulls and fighting in the water. The only thing that sucked was I got a headache around midday. Ko'ed on a blanket for a bit :\. Felt a lil' better on the way home though. Oh, and we stopped by Sonics. First time for me even though I didn't get anything. It was still really cool. Bellhops are the original old-school :].

Yeppp, this tan is coming along justtt fine :D.

This week in review. 5/5.

Let's review the past few days, or at least what I can remember =X.

Thursday - 8/6

~ Can't remember much here. All I know is that I was just chilling at home then Oscar calls me up to go to Barcode with him, Sinue and his brother Flavio. Get some shit there [Honey milk tea for me, like always :D. The people at Barcode should remember that whenever they see me because that's practically all I ever get. Saves time, you know?] Went to Oscar's place to hang and play some KOF XI or King Of Fighters 12. It's a good fighting game if you've never heard of it. Stayed until midnight, asked if I could borrow Fallout 3 and they did. Got Oscar to drop me off at home and started playing it. I'm amazed I never caught interest of it till now. It's pretty badass. Run around, steal, kill, maim. It's one of those you-can-do-whatever-the-fuck-you-want kind of games. It should keep me entertained for some time :D.

Friday - 8/7

~ Usual outing with the guys at Golfland [now crowned GL]. We actually left early for once because it seemed really dead. No real good players. No offense to those casual people but us EVC guys are really competitive :D. We're not assholes either like some people out there and Justin Wong, I mean you >:[. You deserved that 4-0 rapeage [Even though you won the competition] at the Gamestop SFIV tournament in Fort Mason by Daigo "The Beast" Umehara. It's almost like they invited him exclusively to kick Wong's jive ass and keep him in check. Anyways I digress. We hit up Denny's afterwards for some late-night grub and laughs. Returned Teak's psp cuz my brother wouldn't do it for free lol.

Saturday - 8/8

~ BBQ at Seacliff Beach in Aptos City[?] with my brother Tommy and his friends. It was pretty cool although I remembered faintly that I've been there before. [Or at least the beaches looked similar? :\. ] Whatever lol. Spent most of my time eating and drinking soda and Arizona iced tea. The food was really good, especially the ribs and flank steak. Mm..just thinking about it again makes my mouth water. We also had oysters but meh, they sucked ass. The ones Sam [brother] got at the family BBQ were so much better. Also worked in my tan a little because early on the sun was beating down on us. Got cold like artic cold around late afternoon / early evening. Huddled around the grill to keep warm :]. Tommy's homies are cool and laid-back. One of them is pretty hot ;]. Left around 7-ish, got home at 8-ish and just ko'ed. I wasn't able to get much rest the night before because I had to get up early, like at 9? Oh wells.

Sunday - 8/9

~ Chilled for the most part and spent some time looking for Marsh Rd. with a friend. Mountainside driving is actually pretty awesome. Those downhill, uphill climbs and s-turns were hard but manageable. I'll get used to it eventually. Came home, relaxed a bit then remembered I had to call Minh [brother] so we could hit up Fry's to get a new hard drive for my desktop. Got there, couldn't find any relatively cheap and worth the price so we decided to order online. 160 GB for $60. Untaxed. I say that's quite the deal. I love Minh and his hook-ups :]. Went to Barcode with Oscar and Flavio after that and kicked it at my house for a bit. We hit up Fry's again inbetween because Tommy wanted to get another copy of Need For Speed : Underground since the old one got scratched. Asked if I could get a game myself and he let :]. Grabbed Star Ocean 4, although I pondered Skate 2. The guys left after a bit and I stayed up pretty much the whole night to watch Sam get utterly pwned in Halo 3. Slept downstairs cuz it was too hot :\.

Today - 8/10

~ Hung out with some friends. Pretty early in fact. I haven't been sleeping in enough :[. Realized that gas was running out way too fast and found out Sam had left shit in the car's trunk, weighing it down. There was a heavy-duty car jack, a box of brake fluid bottles and a huge carton of coolant waste. That's like 50 extra lbs? Slapped myself for not realizing earlier since I would have saved myself more gas. Car felt slower too but I guess I didn't notice it until now. Got that shit out and into the backyard. Hopefully I can get out to the local gas station for a fill-up tomorrow before I go swimming at a friend's place at 10 [Yeah, I know. Pretty damn early right? Oh well. Feels like I'm still in summer school.]. It's running on empty.

Woah. Yeah. Babyy.

Old-school throwback rock songs. Oh yeahhh :].

Frisco.

Went to Frisco today with the fambam. It was aight, not much to do. We just walked around and such, grabbed some lunch at the Hing Lung restaurant (which btw, has bomb-ass porridge :D). Walked around some more. Exited Chinatown and headed to Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf. Saw some street performers doing their thing. Stepping on broken glass while its on fire, spray paint art. Not a bad day lol. Ate pho when we got back which sucked because I wanted chinese foood. Eh, the avocado shake kinda made up for it.



I still want to try driving stick in frisco. :].

Can you go to jail for stealing your own money? o_O.

Summer semester is out! Thank fucking lord. Actually, it wasn't that bad but I've always detested going to summer school. It was one of the things I had to do to catch up. Severely lacking on credits =X.

Anyways, had both my finals this week and they. both. started. at. the. same. time. on. the. same. day. 1:00 PM. Thursday. What did I do in this crisis? Well, I sat anxiously in math, jittering around until the professor handed out the final which I completely blazed through it (It was seriously too easy in my mind). Rushed my ass over to english and had writer's block for the first 10-20 minutes then got my brain ticking like a bomb that gets close to blowing everyone to hell but never goes off. Flew through that one with ease afterwards.

Finally done at 2-ish. Went home. I think I ko'ed? I don't know. Oh yeah, I just gamed my ass off.

Then I went to Golfland yesterday with the homies and ate at Denny's after. Lumberjack slam isn't so great, should have went for the All-American :\.

Got home, went straight to bed. ZzZzz...

Now I'm heading out to eat dim sum with the fambam :D.
