What's Next

Thank you all well-wishers! I didn't realize I had so many friends. Haha. But, Birthday Week 2007 is officially OVER. Now, let's go back to normalcy where I don't matter. Yay! Haha. All joking aside. It has been a tumultuous and boring week. I know those adjective hardly belong in the same sentence, but I think that it really describes my week well.

This past week was boring as hell. I never knew relaxing and taking a vacation from work could be so dull. I watched more TV and slept more than I ever did all... my life? No, that's a stretch, but definitely more than I can remember doing this past year. So, I'm very well-rested, but I also got sick... just a cold/cough. How is that possible? My body is acting up because I'm not busy!!! The germs finally take center stage. Haha. Awesome.

Ok, now a recap. Wednesday, I went home to the Dublin (Ireland, of course) and had a nice lunchy lunch with Christina at Abba Gourmet Cal-Italian Grill (yes, the longest restaurant name ever, but I remember because I yelped it... ohhh I'm cool). It was decent (but only 2 stars on Yelp, sorry): I had a tri tip sandwich and Christina had the BST --- bacon, sprouts, tomato, with a fried egg. Yum. And weird. If it sounds interesting, I'll take you. For the rest of the day, I lounged, relaxed, did laundry, etc. Come nighttime, my parents took me to our favorite local Japanese hangout, Tomo in Pleasanton. Food was delightful as usual. I mostly ate sushi and shared a tempura appetizer with my mom. Omg. I had blue fin tuna sushi and the fish practically melted in my mouth. Well worth the extra bucks! After dinner, we just went home to eat cake (yum!) and open presents (woot!). And that was the end of another anniversary of my birth. Sigh.

Skip Thursday and on to Friday. I had my first post-Google Google lunch! I hoarded as much food as I possibly could and it was fantastic! Hehe. I miss everyone sooo much!!! <3 <3 <3!!! Anyways, at night, Chris took me out to dinner for my birthday after a week-long power struggle. Haha. I kid. Maybe. Well, we went to Straits at Santana Row. The wait was a tad ridiculous, but we dealt with it and the food kinda made up for it. The service was slow, of course, but we ordered Roti, Potong Kari Ayam ( Sinaporean yellow curry with chicken, carrots, and potatoes), Origami Seabass (steamed fish with wine sauce), Chicken-flavored Rice and Molten Chocolate Cake for dessert! Yay! The food was pretty good. Let's just say we were pleased and satisfied. After dinner, we went to Sino for a bit, but it was loud and crowded and yeah... old people don't like environments like these. So, instead, we went to Blockbuster, rented Knocked Up (yes, I'm the last person on Earth to see it), and I fell asleep before it was over. NICE.

Saturday was a little more exciting. Chris and I went to see Beowulf in the afternoon. It was pretty good for a rated R cartoon! Haha. Angelina Jolie was very naked in it. And there was a lot of bloody violence. Especially for a cartoon. At night, I drove up to meet with Christina and Pam at Asia SF! What a surprise! We got bar seats, which were incidentally RIGHT in front for the "show". The food was good, but the girls/guys were really fun. They're completely into it and love the attention. Most of them had fake boobs, fake hair, and some fake butts! All in all, a good place to go for birthdays, bachelorette parties, and other semi-special events.

Ok, I'm tired of updating. The week is over. OVER. Now, let's get on with life. God, how depressing.
