old friends, new places

friday night was my night off, so i thought it would be fun to call a few friends up for drinks.
we hit up neomeze in old town pasadena - i love this place! it was my second time here since ronnie's bday and definitely didn't disappoint.

after gathering inside and some brief introductions, we quickly came to the realization that i was among some my oldest (long time) friends.
fiona, vince, and joanne lee

it feels good to have that connection with people, and to know that they're still around after all these years of change, growth, and distance.

let's start with #1.
joanne lee and i have known each other since i was 5 and she was 3.
her mom helped my parents buy our house in san gabriel!

and here we are, 18 years later.
happy 21st, doll =)

#2 comes fiona. we've known each other for 11 years and she still makes me laugh.

#3 is vince. ironically. i always regarded him as one of my oldest friends.
we've been best friends for 9 years... and through everything, i think we're still best friends.


our girly drinks: carribean mojito, razzle, and melon margarita.
vince wasn't included. he got a beer.

and then this week, i hung out with tay-che... formerly yun-che, now known as taylor.
i call her tay-che.
sophisticated chicago girl now, no more short skirts and skin-revealing beach wear for her.
it feels good to grow up.




and to end this post,
here's a very entertaining video of henry at wokcano after neomeze on friday night.
enjoy! =]
