black friday...

Somehow i still managed to go out around 6am in the morning to start shopping... Black friday is the friday after thanksgiving where most of the stores open really early and they have a ridiculous low prices! first i headed to best buy just to get a 8Gig memory card... i got it for only 24 bucks! and then i went to a different mall.. finding myself strolling trough rebel, active, hollister a&F and aeropostle and endup just buying a pair of pants, actually that my goal this time to buy some pants since i lost too much weight and most of my pants are too big now. Off i go to the next destination, i was planning to go to urban outfitters in Victoria Gardens when i decided to go straight to the desert and head to Cabazon. Since I did that dragon boat thing i lost interest in going to clubs but recently i've been going out to much and i need some new clothes bu the thing is I'm not into buying clothes anymore so i just ended up buying a couple of shirts, a sweater, 2 jeans and a compression shirt. the thing that pisses me off the most was A/X damn that place is a mess, people are stepping on the clothes that's why i didn't bother to look for my size. damn i'm broke again...

friday night food madness!

Ok i started my night by meeting people at Phong Dinh Restaurant, this place serves exotic foods lik kangaroo, alligator, frog legs and whatever stuffs but we came here for the baked catfish!!! damn this is the best catfish i ever had... i'm just so used to fried ones and fish sauce and lime...but it was kinda pricey 50 bucks for the catfish only and our bill ended up to 300 bucks...then after that we head to half and half tea house..then we headed to pasadena for some TACOS! oh shit these people can eat... like last time i joined a korean bbq eating contest and the winner is a girl and her husband.... and she's not even over weight... damn!

on the other side.. am still enjoying my car my latest experiment was driving it in the freeway wiht out using the gas pedal.. i went all the way with cruise control and accelerating everyting on the steering wheel... my old car doesn't have it so i'm trying to play around with it...

yehey!

finally i got my new car and just right after i got it.. i drove to the mountains and went for a hike which means its all dusta already and i put in a good 100 miles already! and i'm broke...now i have to stop having good dinners and lunch outs

weekend

went to oktoberfest in huntington beach ended up too drunk... forgot how i got home, can't even remember the freeways i took on my way home.. woke up early on sunday morning for practice... but i'm kinda dehydrated from alcohol consumption and the bad thing is I was stroking for the boat which ended up pretty messy...i almost lost my paddle cause i was throwing it in the wate while the boat is moving.... went to lunch which ended up to be too pricey... the played some badminton where I broke my racquet so i have to buy a new one... total cost from my weekend? it's kinda close to my trip to SF

SF race

Just got back from SF cause we participated in the Kaiser Permanente Dragon Boat Festival….the drive is pretty tough since we are carrying other equipments too… but the whole festival was fun on our first day it was just all seeding and qualifying for the division which turned out pretty interesting since we finished two first and a second for our men’s boat which qualifies us for the next day race and not only that we got the 2^nd best time of the day… Sunday didn’t turn out pretty well since we didn’t win the men’s boat, but we won third on the out of town race and we had a couple more races which landed us at the final race of the day… in other words it’s the top 6 boats in the whole tournament… we got 5^th place which means we still have to work on a lot of things but I didn’t know that it’s that big of a deal to be on that race until our coached talked about it and no wonder one of my team mate is so stoked about participating that race… apparently our team used to win a lot but in lower division and it was the first time they got to that level… after that race I still want to get at least third place but we have to wait for next year to achieve that goal which means more hardcore workouts which would start tomorrow at work…. Basically I spent my 2 days just at the race site then at night I stuffed myself with some good food but it costs hundreds and hundreds for my whole vacation…went up to Sonoma valley for a day just to do some wine tasting….i'm done... too tired from driving....

tired

as usual started my day with 3 donuts then went to practice.... did my time trial for 500M OC1 and finally i made it on the A boat! got 2:55 time and i got one of the best times! so it was worth it even tough i can barely move right now... so i skipped badminton...

new work

yesterday was my first day for my new job.... i'm so excited i ended up late! hahahaha... actually i don't know what to expect in that company all i think about is the pay and it's very near my place... 10 miles!!! the place is pretty laid back.. and there are only four people in the lab... 2 tech and 2 chemist including me....so it's pretty boring....compared to my old work... well i'll get used to it... and it's easier and less stress...another good this is that they got a small gym where they have tread mills...punch bag...and whatever stuffs... i think i'll stick with this job for a while or maybe i'll try to enjoy it... cause it's day shift too.. i feel normal again...
