okay, i got a few minutes to blog while i wait for the lasagne to bake.
so here's the much anticipated blog of the past weekend...

friday...
it was the start of my vacation. i had to drop off 'the misses' at the subway station, jet to little tokyo and get a haircut, go home and pack, go pick up 'the misses' at her work, park in the airport parking lot, and try to get on a standby flight.
well we got bumped off 2 flights. it was so over booked that they were bumping standbys to later flights, which means we get bumped down the list. we were listed on the 6:35 flight but we got bumped off 2 flights and ended up on the 9:30 flight (which was the last flight out of lax). i suppose if we couldn't get out of lax that night, we would just try on saturday morning but we would have to pay for parking and wake up early to catch a flight. not a good start of the weekend. =$

saturday...
we woke up and had some breakfast. we were going to stop by the gilroy outlets before heading up to vince's house. so kenny and lisa picked us up and we finally got to see lil hannah and 'not-so-little-anymore spencer'. lil hannah is so small that you really can't do much with her (just like how spencer was). you can try to put your finger in her hand and have her squeeze it. but besides that, she pretty much just sleeps and make noises. on the other hand, i can play with spencer now. he loves cars and we were playing outside of the nike outlet. 'the misses' bought some shoes and i finally spent my fossil gift certificate (which i had for 3 years) on a watch. i already have watches but i needed to use the GC so i picked one out and bought it. the blue rings in the background turns on and off to make designs (something for me to stare at when i'm bored. so if you're talking to me and i'm staring at my watch, its a hint). =P

then we headed to vince's house, picked him up and went to the grocery store to grab some supplies. but the grocery store was so old that it didn't furikake or a bakery department (come on, step into the 90's). so we went to 'whole foods' and kenny came out with this beautiful strawberry cake (i didn't know 'whole foods' had a bakery). when we got to vince's, ricky and nathan already had the bbq going. then one after another, people started to trickle in. i jumped into the huge smorgasbord of 'king eggroll' (my fav), meats, pasta, soups, and rice (can't forget rice). i think i have stretch marks from eating too much. then some peeps started to leave, so i wanted to get a shot of da old skool guys (sorry the pic is so dark. i tried to fix it but this is the best i can do on a short notice). its been since college years that we've all been together. jeff hasn't aged a bit. he still looks just like he did in college.

then there's mr.O. word on the street is ms.J got a new thang goin and was bringin him to da party. he's a nice guy. talked to him a bit. he was surprised when he found out i knew spanish and when i yelled out 'pinche haponess'. =P
and then vince's x-co-workers came, a whole truck load of phreaky hinas came through the door. it would have brought tears to a club bouncer. they all went to the kitchen and the 2 guys that came with them probably didn't watch the tv in the room. i'm sure their eyes just glanced back and forth through the room, watching the room full of breasts and butts. =)_ .

well after hours of eating, talking, and cake eating, it was time to go to the club. vince's x-co-workers went before us to the club but one of them didn't get in since she was underaged, so most of them went to an under 18 club in san jo. so just ms.j, mr.o, rick and linda, vince, 3 volleyball girls (kristen, tiffany, kairlin), and me and the misses, went to the club. the club was actually good. i've been there before and it was pretty much empty, but since there were events going on in monte, i think more peeps decided to go clubin. the music was good. the dance floor was a bit crowded. there was this one blonde tall hakugene chick that was so drunk, i thought she was going to spill her drink on us. another time, she actually grabbed the misses while doing her drunk dance. i was ready to elbow her or call a bouncer on her and bounce her drunk ass out. i think she did get booted after a while cuz i didnt see her the rest of the night.
well we danced and at one point, we did some drinks. we did a shot of purple hooter (which was way weak. it tasted like only fruit juice.) and then we did a shot of tequila (which went down like gasolina). the main dance floor closed at 2, but the smaller dance floor close at 3 (no alcohol). but the music got so loud that me and the misses went back to vince's place to crash. vince and the 3 volley girls stayed till the end. sad to say, vince didn't get what he wished for during his candle blowout (at least i think i know what he wished for). maybe next year.

sunday...
woke up early to jet to watsonville and have lunch with the fam, rick and linda, and vince. we had lunch at applebees. my father tried to pay for the lunch (as japanese men do) a couple of times during the lunch. i guess this amused the waitress cuz she never saw anyone so eager to pay for a meal. she later commented on how our party 'made her day' and made her laugh (if she only grew up with our family. its a barrel of monkeys).

after lunch, we ran over to da big K (kmart) cuz my mom wanted to get a family photo in before we had to jet back down to LA. the girl that worked there, i swear, looked like she was in high school. but i noticed a framed certificate on the wall, with her name on it, saying she was a 'qualified photographer'. maybe da big K has a school for the peeps who work in the photo department. go figure.

after photos, we headed to the airport early so we can get on a plane (its not fun to get bumped). we got there early but still got bumped off of 2 flights (who knew flights between sj and lax was so popular). but we finally go on our targeted flight (even thought we had to sit apart. i had to sit next to an old filipino lady who violated my 'personal space'. step da back off lady! i can smell your breath). we got in around 8, got our car, grabbed a meal at wendy's (i didn't order the finger special), came home, ate and crashed.

monday...
well since i'm on vacation, i don't have to do anything. i slept in late (only to be woken by the blistering heat), played some video games, went grocery shopping, made dinner while writting this blog (took breaks between). ate dinner, washed dishes and here i am. i probably left out tons of details in this entry (like telling my gay pick up experience in front of mrs. uyeda. or vince's booty rubbing/flesh sandwich dance). but since this is so long, i'll save that for another day.

whew, my fingers are tired from all this typing.
please throw down a shout out in the comment section. i would love to hear from you. tanks n lates....
