Another random dream

So I dreamt I was wonder woman, superman, or flash. And I could only be one of those characters at a time. So this evil lady hid some secret in this library we were at. So first, I became wonder woman and used the "truth" lasso and found out that she hid the information in a green book or folder. So I had to become superman and restrained the lady so she wouldn't get away. And rest of the dream I was flash running around the library and flipping through anything/everything green. And never found the secret whatever I was looking for.

In hindsight, when I was wonder woman, I should have just told her to lead me to the secret... 

The End.

Back in NYC

It was good to be back in LA, though I still can't see myself living there... maybe in 2 years? Who knows... But meeting up with life-long friends and just chillin in the city was great. Finally met Brayden (godson) for the first time. He's adorable! Hopefully he'll be the first asian-american NBA player and make millions of dollars. haha. Spent a lot of time playing Wits & Wagers... great game! Need to have a game night and play it in NY. Spending time with parents is always great, eating my mom's cooking, and eating fish that my dad caught.

Coming home was almost a nightmare. My flight was suppose to be 10:30... but was stuck at burbank airport for 3 hours and additonal 30 min. on the airport tarmac. My SF-->NY transfer flight was scheduled for 12:40, and I already missed that. The next flight was at 3:50pm, and so I rushed to the gate and I was the last one on board! Soon after I got in, they closed the door behind me and we started moving. If I had missed that flight, the next flight would have been at 10:20pm!!! Direct flights from now on, no matter how much more.

First "big" purchase of 2009:

15 bucks for same day shipping! nice nice.

Vegas 2008

End of the year vegas trip. Fun fun. But 4 days and 3 nights is a just a little much. We stayed at Bally's "free" but with our combined losses, we could have stayed somewhere MUCH MUCH better. Oh well... you only live once! We saw Hefner's girls, Pete Rose signing autographs (but all alone which was sad), watched Lakers lose two days in a row (lucky I didn't bet money on them), watched crazy great ending to the Giants game, and ate really well as usual. No buffet this time... I think buffets are overrated.

Waiting for others to arrive in Vegas betting and watching sports. Cavs were 2 point underdog against Denver... so I bet on the Cavs... Cavs wins 105-88. Should have bet more...

Facebook Girls

Was discussing with rosa how shallow guys are.... and yes I do agree guys are shallow. Currently I only have 274 friends on facebook. Out of 274, 146 are female (53%). (So I counted up all my friends on Facebook that are girls (married or unmarried, has boyfriend doesn't have girl friend didn't matter... but didn't count relatives (3) since that would have been weird) Total: 143. And then counted which ones I think are cute/pretty = 77 

77/143 = 53%! What do the numbers mean? Not sure... But it goes to show I still have too much time on my hands...

Knoll Life Chair!

Finally! After 8 weeks of waiting, I finally got my Knoll Life Chair. Using my moyashimon as a model...

Dark olive seat and avocado mesh in the back... now I need a nice table... sigh. The magnetic lumbar support comes on and off which is a little cheezy. I prefer to sit without it.

Crowded!

Times Square, couple weekends before Christmas at Toys R US. - zero sign of recession. Never been in a more crowded place in my life! It was just a mob of people shuffling in a clockwise manner. Everyone shouting "excuse me!" even though there was no place to get out of he way. Zero spirit of giving and joy. Ok, maybe it wasn't the most crowded... couple years ago, we went to see Kobayashi on Fourth of July. Almost died. People were panicking and it was like 95˚ with NY humidity. Shopping is so much more tiring than running. It's all the standing around in one place, fighting the people, and all the brain work that goes into deciding what you should get/don't get. My friends and family actually don't give gifts to each other... birthday, hoidays, etc... been  pretty much like that for the past 10 years or so? How strange...

Stimulating the economy... or nike

Nike ear warmer thingy and jacket resistant to snow and rain! I've never joined a gym in my life... I wonder if nike makes a device where your throat doesn't hurt from breathing in 32˚ below air.
