Its so hard to say goodbye...

2010-01-03T11:10:00.000-08:00

..to yesterday.

(so i had a thing for Boyz II Men when i was little. I knew every song)

But it's a little easier with the homies.

Work seemed to never end on NYE but time was eventually on my side. Wasn't able to get with The Hangout Boys at Bishimon (see umaijan's blog for what i missed) but an empty house with friends? And geared up courtesy of Chubby-Boob? Still a good night.

This past year I grew a lot. Simple enough i suppose. Any which way you look at it, I'm a different person now. Good or bad? That's a relative term. Maybe or, yeah, a little bit of both. But I'm looking at 2010 with open eyes and ears.

...and now for what we did.

Get out the way! you ruined the SB shot! This girl is gonna cause trouble.

*wow that guy's face is sooo red*

*that asian girl is getting really annoying right now*

Legit Guys right here

uhhh...don't even know who these people are.

*that asian girl is really starting to get me mad*

*Did you see that guy's red face?*

Chubby-Boob fox tail plugs?!

I swear it's apple cider.

teach me how to jerk

This guy was finna battle

"Would you like a smirnoff?"

"are you really asking me that right now?"

* He's like a tomato*

*are you serious with that asian girl right now..*

What did I tell you?

And that's showing off his anger at the asian girl behind him. DRAMA. attention whore, blah blah blah blah blah. What's her name? no idea.

One of us, is not drunk. One of us drove home. One of us had work at 10 in the morning.

ME!!

Kicked it. I say I do that all the time, but it's kinda true. No need for me to get too crazy.I don't know what to expect this year. I don't know what's going to happen.I'm hopeful and optimistic and i guess that's the beauty of not knowing. People always ask me why I'm so mellow and laid back. My answer is why rush? No need really for me to stress over the little things. So to everyone out there, make it count. Happy New Year, and I wish you the best.

Just a friendly reminder..

2010-01-01T22:47:00.000-08:00

...the year 2009 is over.

To those I met this year, even those I met yesterday at 11:59, and to those from years before, Thanks.

A Day Out on the Farm

2010-01-01T21:25:00.000-08:00

Picking Berries at Knott's

My mom was able to get some free tickets to Knotts Berry Farm, and since I don't remember the last time i went, I was excited to go back. I couldn't help but think that if I still lived in Buena Park, I would probably make Knotts a second home. Especially since BPD is GHETTO...

It was a great day. Beautiful weather (I say that about a lot of places, but it's true). Nice day to be out, but a better day to spend time with the nephew Wyatt. Rode rides, even the kiddy ones. Ate funnel cake. (shared four ways of course)..and had pinks hot dogs?!?! yes. All in all i really enjoyed Knotts. A little day-cation. Not as busy or as tiring as disneyland but with enough thrills to get your fix because apparently I giggle like a little school girl on roller coasters.

That is Wyatt. I am jealous that he got to sit in a stroller all day.

WEEeeeeee!!!!

YYAaayyyy!!!

...uuhhh

So essentially, He's a straight up G.

Christmas Pt III

Christmas Dinner: The Final Frontier

I was invited by Desiree's Mother to join their family at Christmas dinner in Carson. Seeing as this happens once in a....once, I went for it. Having had a quiet Christmas Eve night and Christmas day, the pace of their family was different, but a good different. Having the quiet morning made it so I wasn't worn out by the early afternoon.

Meeting her family, most I already have met, was fun and a nice experience. We sat down, watched tv, played video games, board games, and of course I taught people how to play poker. Aren't I the best influence? First time meeting me, I teach you how to gamble.

rice Christmas treat

Told you we played poker

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and Holiday

Christmas Pt II

Christmas Afternoon at the Grandparents'

Woke up late Christmas morning(afternoon) and got ready to go. Put my Christmas outfit on and headed out the door. It's always been family tradition to go to the Grandparents' house on Christmas day, even when we were together Christmas eve. It was a beautiful day, a little cold, but clear skies all around. Family from norcal was down so I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to say hello.

The Grandparents checking out their new Wii.

..and of course, the Grandkids teaching them how to USE their new toys.

final Christmas installment still to come..

Christmas Pt. I

Christmas Eve at the Home

Short shift at work felt like a long day at work. Turned out chill. Even though I missed the party Brittany Tadlock was hosting. (She's the work-wife too..) Handed out a few things at work and got a few things in return. Said Merry Christmas to the Guys Night crew and headed home.

Mosly a quiet night. But it was nice to be home knowing I would be off Christmas day. It also let me think about what the holidays really are-and if you don't know, then you should think about it too.

It is definitely about the kids. Let them be happy before the world messes them up.

It's about what brings families together. Food.

...and its just about kickin it. With the people you care about.

We care about the dog too, but he got into Santa's snacks..

To be continued...

..and to those I love

Merry Christmas

I May Have Just Fallen in Love

2009-12-25T12:40:00.000-08:00

...with @Thai Bbq.

If you're ever in the Murrieta/Temecula area. Or if you're even thinking about Thai food, there is only one place you need to go.

Growing up going to their sister restaurant in Cerritos, I knew it would be an instant reminder of childhood memories when this place opened up. The owners are amazing people. Nice, funny and hardworking; not to mention they make amazing food.

@Thai Bbq

39530 Murrieta Hot Springs Rd

Murrieta, 92563

So when you go, tell everyone Danny says hello.

Meet My Friend Sammy

2009-12-25T12:18:00.000-08:00

He owns this pizza palace...

Sammy's Woodfired Pizza

8650 Genesee Ave

San Diego, 92122

Desiree and I have stumbled into this place a few times over the years and Sammy's has a great take on what a pizza should be. Simple and healthy dough and sauce topped with fresh and expensive toppings.

The pizza we order may change, but the appetizer is always the same. Lobster, shrimp and artichoke dip. I'm fine with just eatin this.

Have you ever had Kobe beef?

Have you ever had Kobe beef on a Pizza?!

...and you get good pricing too? yes.

Night in the Other Side

2009-12-24T02:50:00.000-08:00

Those Drinks Better Be Worth It...

I was left with a major decision. To get $3 margaritas or not. The catch? The bar is in hillcrest. For those of you that don't know (because the first time i went there i didn't) Hillcrest is San Diego's premier Gay community.

Little Background info: A customer at work had heard I frequent San Diego. She tells me about El Indio, which from the first blog entry, you found out is amazing. She also tells me about Hillcrest saying, "oh, get out of la jolla and all the old people, go to hillcrest thats where everybody's at." Was she being serious? Did she think i was...? So eventually we went. We hit up a Mexican bar with 2 for 1 drink specials. Looking around, kickin it, then BAM! it hits me. Everyone is "friendly."

So now back to the lecture at hand...we decide to go. Crazy traffic. Desiree falls asleep from the car ride. Find parking. The bar (which I will not name since we didn't go) is closed for a company party! bust. So we drive off, park in the pants of hillcrest and walk around.

Bought candy to get parking validated. Yay for chocolate covered Gummi Bears

Found this hat at Buffalo Exchange. Surprised? No.

At least somebody loves me...jk. Really.

Beach Bacon Burgers

Hodad's

5010 Newport Avenue
San Diego, CA 92107-3010

Hodad's should now be a household name. This was the second time eating here and I'm sad that i didn't hear about this place earlier. Essentially an Ocean Beach landmark, you'd be lucky to not see a line forming outside the doors.

Amazing Dining room, and super cool servers, offering up the best burgers I've ever had.

Believe it or not but she finished. But couldn't move afterwards

More Chubby-Boob? This guy is getting everywhere!

Another Day in Paradise

2009-12-17T14:35:00.000-08:00

Figures I couldn't stay away long...

The weather was calling me, so I had to pay another visit to the beautiful beach city. Took a nice Tuesday morning drive to Sunny SD. La Jolla Cove was our final destination and it did not disappoint. You can't get much better than this place if you're looking to relax, sit on the grass and people watch. Walking down Prospect St. Desiree and I took in the views, from the cliffs and the beach, of an absolutely beautiful morning.

Saw some boobs on the beach

*i get to do this everyday suckers*

Living On The Border

Taco (Every)day

Everyone is familiar with a taco tuesday in their neighborhood, but On The Border is where its at.

Bomb tacos. Beer by the buckets. Great atmosphere. Good Friends.

Did I mention bottomless chips and salsa?

Thanks to Nancy, I was not drinking alone! except they were way small and watered down. and they didn't have the homey favorite 151 and Dr. Pepper.

And you could never go to Taco Tuesday's alone...

nom nom nom nom

*mmm i want more tacos and beer*

Where did you get all those singles from Bianca?

Corny as it sounds, but this is the only picture I have of Ryan smiling

Thanks for a fun night guys!

Weekly Wind Down

Guy's Night

This just about sums up what guy's night means to us. Good people, good drinks, good movies, great nights. It's become a mission to get through the week in once piece. Some weeks the only thing we have to look forward to is forgetting it all on a Sunday night...but always, by the end of it, we can look at monday morning (afternoon) with optimism.

This is our weekly prescription

Possible side-effects include: good times, and laughs

Joseph, I'd stop playing around with Santa. He'll get you back.

...another side-effect...

Told you he'd get you back

It may not seem like it, but we did watch a movie.

We are the innovators of guys night. So to the ladies thinking they can have a "girls night," you can't do it like us. You can try, but we're in a class of our own.

Stay Classy San Diego

2009-12-12T01:18:00.000-08:00

A Whale's Vagina
There's no better name for it. For the past four years, at least once a week was spent driving the 90 miles to this wonderful place. Never had a reason to complain about it, except for the lack of taco bell and fast food. Most days were spent in sunny La Jolla, where the old people don't need jobs and the UCSD students have no tans! but it was always chill.

...and here's the reason for my giant carbon footprint. Well worth it.

Desiree just finished her last quarter at UCSD and we decided on our last day there we would go out and take pictures around the school. She said it's so she doesn't forget; I just wanted to play with my camera. Right after my final I raced from Walnut to SD, hoping the weather would stay pretty. Got there, and she wasn't even ready...typical.

>This is where it all started. I was there for move in day. <
>stuck in an apt with 9 other girls.<

>Instant love for breakfast burritos from OVT<

>Chatky Headquarters in Kyoto<

From move in day, to graduation day, I was there for it all. Crazy journey. I wish i could accomplish half of what Desiree has already done. She has grown up to be a remarkable, intelligent and beautiful young woman. Being a part of it all is definitely a highlight of my life.

...and now for the most important thing in life...Food

Believe it for not, El Indio is the originator of the taquito. Best Mexican food i have ever eaten. Don't trust me? try for yourself. I only order the flautas

3695 India St

San Diego Ca, 92103

>what we look like when we are eating in front of each other<

>Needless to say, we smashed<

The day was super chill. Weather was perfect. Reminiscing about the past, and looking forward for the future. Great way to say goodbye to such a lovely place.

So after popping our first bottle of champagne,

Here's to you San Diego. Beautiful weather, beautiful people, you never leave me disappointed. There are many more blog posts that will be designated for you. Until we meet again.

To Desiree. Congratulations. You put up one hell of a fight and you came out on top. You deserve the world and more, and i know you're going to try and take all of it.

And to the readers. This is only the beginning.
