2 dozen.




...years.
a birthday and some thoughts.

i'm feeling a little uninspired, but it's been awhile since my last update, and it's not like i've been thinking any less.

so, instead, a few photos and a video.


something about waking up and seeing these starts my day off right.




for the first time ever, i spent a weekend in the world of comics: wondercon!
it also happened to be iPad launch weekend, so this picture pretty much sums it up.
that's right, lambo has discovered his alterego.
krypto, the super dog!

the past month has been amazing. 
i feel like i'm finally settling into my life here in san francisco,
finding the places i belong,
discovering the things i want to do and become,
making meaningful memories,
and creating lasting relationships.

it's a community of friends, coworkers, and adventurous minds.
we may not all be the same (although we're probably equally geeky),
but they're my favorite because they embrace life with as much passion as i do.



i put lambo in michael & robert's hands and this is what happens.
good thing lambo's used to it :)


it may not have been huge, but it was a super special birthday.

if i knew how to embed a video from mobileme, it'd be here... but for now, just follow the link :)

the best back-home birthday

today:
_san gabriel automotive
_kingburg kitchen
_cathy's bakery
_half&half tea house
_guitar center


on my days off, i always want to get a lot done. while its like an almost-mini-vacation, i like my vacations productive - errands, quality time, and new things make the perfect agenda.

so after picking up the applause (my new acoustic vintagey beater), i headed up to san gabriel to get some new brakes on my car. richard [my mechanic] rocks. i ended up getting new brakes/rotors, filters, and an oil change.

in the meantime, will and i did some quality chinese-style damage. we ordered in mandarin, at all the places we went to! i'm glad i still remember hahaha... and for a cantonese guy, will's mandarin is pretty damn good. [i'm afraid his vocab is better than mine]

it was definitely the best hometown birthday i've had in a long time...
lots of awesome fobby soul food, a good heart-to-heart, and sweet weather.
we had a much-needed catchup afternoon.

soy tea egg
(cha yeh dan)
beef noodle soup
(nyo roh mein)
pork, sea cucumber, and shrimp dumplings
my long awaited bday cake!
i havent had this in YEARS.
crispy layer cake from cathy's!

and of course, it was a good day out for lambo
got some new elixirs for the beater and ran into jake cheung!
totally forgot he was asst manager at guitar center... thanks for the hookup =)


the boys made for great company today.
+new music on my ipod, happy sleeping dog, quality time with an old friend
+time to learn some new songs on the old guitar
+i should really try this mobile blogging thing... i'm always so much more inspired on the go than i am by the time i finally sit down at the compy
+tomorrow is going to be awesome. right?
