Life is measured by how much you're able to stay away from.

Huh?

ASIANNNSSSS.

ARE.

HOT.

but not on the inside :P.

Jk but most aren't.

I don't know, I'm just being mindless right now ~_~. Another wedding later today. Dang, everyone's getting married in a jiffy. Who's next? YOU?! :O.

Best. Day. Period.

God damn, Sam knows how to throw a party for someone. Tons of food and all-around good fun. I even got a little buzzed and it was from a cooler. It was actually kinda embarrassing. Who gets drunk from that? Well, I do and everyone kept hassling me with "HEY! Your face is hella red! OMG!" Sigh. This is why I don't drink but I did it in light of my birthday. I don't know how my brothers and their companions do it, just chugging one bottle after another and shot after shot. It's like water to them. ~_~.

And Sam gave me the best birthday gift to date. He called me up the night before and asked if I had anything to do Saturday. I knew there was the party at his place so I didn't quite grasp why he would need to know if I had plans. He then tells me he has two Sharks tickets for me from his co-worker. Now I'm not one to rambunctiously celebrate when something awesome happens but in my head, I was. It completely psyched me up. So the next day I hit up one of the coolest places in the country, the HP Pavilion downtown with my homie Oscar to catch my first ever Sharks game in person. No watching behind the tv. This was real and a firsthand experience to a live sporting event that I've been DYING to attend. The atmosphere gave me a tingling sensation, like holy shiz, I'm actually "here", watching Team Teal skate at uber speeds and attack with their high-octane offense.

The game itself was pretty close, they lost to the visiting team Florida Panthers in overtime by a final score of 3-2. They came out and struck first with two goals in the first but the Panthers rallied in the consecutive periods with three unanswered goals, including the one in overtime. Eh, I wasn't too bummed about the loss, it would have utterly great if they took the game but it's ok. I'm just super glad I had the chance to experience my all-time favorite sports team in real life. The seats we had were pretty good, not too close or too far. I can definitely say it was a FUCKIN' good time. I can't wait till I have a steady job and whatnot. I'm gonna become a season ticket holder FOR SURE :D.

For the record, yesterday was one of the best days of my life, along with the greatest birthday celebration anyone has ever thrown me. Thanks Sam. You couldn't have done any better :D :D :D.

Twenty going on to twenty-one.

Lol. I feel old. A little old at least.

But I do feel a lot wiser compared to a few years ago where I was so excited to be 18. Now that I'm officially, fully legal, I don't know what to do with that freedom. If you know me well enough, you should already know I'm way beyond getting shit-faced and having toilet morning hangovers. Consumption of alcohol is tempting but I know I've lived long enough to realize that it's not a part of my needs for everyday survival. Neither is swishing or firing up a bong. What I do require is a lifetime supply of Thai-iced tea and Banh Xeo :D. Root-beer floats are a close second. Nothing better to assuage the stress from a long day at school or errands. That cold and creamy liquid orange bliss sends my taste buds into overdrive every single time, at least when the restaurant / drink shop makes it correctly (No bottled crap please). It's only authentic when you gotta mix it yourself. I just love swirling the two ingredients together like a tornado, ready to let it plow over my tongue and destroy my senses. Gosh. Thai-iced tea tornadoes. Heck, it would be awesome to create food / drink weather machines like that one movie, "Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs". Lol I digress. It seems to happen all the time whenever I converse about food or beverages.

ANYWAYS.. my brother may be throwing me a b-day party at his house near Tully and King. I expect the usual lot of BBQ and raw seafood compounded with generous amounts of beer, Henessey, and soda. Karaoke and gaming will also run rampant, in a good way of course. I don't know for sure if the party's a go but I'll keep you guys updated. If you receive invitations then you're set.

Happy Day!

Car battery went ka-poop a few days ago but I got it replaced yesterday. It was burning out anyway, way too old. It died on me at the most inconvenient of times when I was en-route to pick some friends up to chill at Valley Fair on Saturday. Oscar came to the rescue and helped me get my car home (Jump-started it of course) so it could be fixed. We went to VF in his car afterwards and finally met up with the cool kids. Walked around, I window-shopped mostly until the gang pressured me into BUYING something. It was at Forever 21 of all places ~_~. To please them, I got a plain black shirt which was about $6? I didn't even bother to try it on. I just bought it to get them out of my hair lol. I was glad it fit though when I put it on today for school :). Driving all the way up to VF alone to return it would suck balls. Journeyed a little more in VF until our stomachs grumbled. Went to 99 Chicken but there was no space so we bounced over to a Korean food court nearby. Korean BBQ for Oscar and I. Melissa had tempura, Vereak, I think he got sushi and Val had the same as me. It was alright lol, a cursory glance makes it seem tasty but it was pretty generic to me. My brother could do better. It was expensive too. Oscar and I split like peas with the crew and headed to GL for a little while. We ate again later at some pho restaurant that I've never been to. The name doesn't come to mind. Whatever. I felt a little bloated to eat again but it's ok. Food is food. Went home after that and ko'ed.

Sam gave me money as overdue lai si yesterday which was a blessing since I needed funds to get some black pants for a friend's formal b-day gathering. I was aiming for jeans but couldn't find the type I wanted. All they had were skinny and super skinny and god knows I can't fit those D: . Not wanting to venture any farther, I just grabbed a pair of black Dickies slim slacks that were at a decent price. Miraculously, I had just enough left over to purchase MW2, a game Bang has been hassling me to get. Played for several hours today. Damn. Camping is a must in that game.

These last two nights have been difficult to sleep :\. The first night I was stressed out about my car dying out again and its new registration sticker has yet to come. Second night, I had no worries but odd stomach pains terrorized me. Don't know what this night will bring. Hopefully sound sleep.
