Post #323- Meet Wang


Meet Wang.
Wang wrote me a pretty awesome birthday blog (here). He took a picture with Piglet as promised and a ton of pictures at the Hello Kitty exhibit in LA for me. So in return, I am going to write a blog about him.

I first met Wang back in 2005 when I was visiting Irvine. He brushed me off as another breezy and I thought he was some cocky fool. Ha. Who would've known that 2 or 3 years later we'd be kickin it ALL the time. He introduced us to RA- our favorite degenerate spot, Cal Beach- our spot for Friday Payday Funday, Sho Chiko Bai, and introduced us to some "Wangisms" such as "you will die!!!" "I LOVE my friends" and "Holan". I remember we once partied everyday for a week...I don't know HOW, but we did. Good times.


Besides being fun, Wang can also be a SUCKA as well. Once I passed out and he colored my whole foot with a black Sharpie marker. My ENTIRE foot. Jerk. As you can tell from the above pictures, he is a HAM. He loves the attention...he will even admit that. He puts up this front as tough guy, but he's a softy deep down. He is very easy to talk to and will tell you the straight up truth even if it's not what you want to hear. He kept it real with me and became a very close friend when I was living in Irvine. In fact, he was our "guy on couch" when John and I lived together.
It's been about a year since this fool packed up and left us behind. He moved to Boston to pursue a career opportunity. As much as he hates it there, he's sticking it out- and has big plans to move to NY in the near future. He comes back to visit ALL the time though- it's like never left! It's probably cuz he misses us THAT much. Actually its probably cuz he misses his girlfriend and this fool-
Hurry up and visit us in SF sucka!

Post #322- Another Reason Why I Love My Job

I only joined the company about a month ago, but I can see why people love it so much. We recently relaunched our denim program and the company wanted to reward everyone that put into all the work to make it happen. They hosted an event on the 15th floor....the top floor of our newest building in what they called "The View Room". It was amazing- all three walls were floor to ceiling windows that overlooked the Embarcadero.  We sipped "blue jean cocktails" and champagne while munching on delicious catered appetizers. 

It feels really good to have such a large company that appreciates you. Although I didn't have any involvement with the project, I can't believe the company would do something like this to show how much they value their employees. Awesome. 

Post #321- Bernini Reunion

It's been 5 years since we all moved out of our pretty house on Bernini Drive in Davis, CA. I can't believe how fast time is flying by. We were all (except Maya :( ) able to find free time to get together for a casual dinner at Toyose. We laughed and reminisced about the good and bad times we had living together...including Ali scaring Joe when he was taking the garbage out, to "house meetings", and gambling for underwear on your head. Hahaha...good times, looking forward to the next one. I miss college...

Post #320- Mondays Are Rough

Days like these call for some serious ice cream! :)

Post #319- Gorgeous

Even though we got home at 4:30am last night, we were still able to wake up at a decent hour without any hangovers. Some yummy foccacia for breakfast....super fresh since we were in North Beach! It's the middle of November, but it was a gorgeous day in San Francisco. Clear and crisp. Just the way I like it!


Ran some errands with B for the rest of the afternoon & called it a night with dinner with the fam.

Post #318- 26

Thank you everyone for the all the amazing birthday calls/texts/fb/IMs. You are all so amazing...I feel so loved! <3

I had lunch with my parents at Sam's Chowderhouse in Half Moon Bay. It was a gorgeous day out and the food was delicious. 
Later in the evening B picked me up and I was surprised by a box of Kara's cupcakes from Niko & Daniel! They are so thoughtful....Niko always finds a way to surprise me, even all the way from Irvine :) I miss you Niko!!!! 


B cooked me a delicious birthday dinner tonight! Salad, steak & creamed corn....yummy! I haven't had his cooking since he left Irvine 2 months ago, so this was definitely a treat! :) Afterwards we got ready and headed over to his new place so that we could just walk to Sutra. The walk took us about 10 minutes. Awesome!




So glad that Andrew & Tom wanted to carry on November birthday tradition this year. Thank you everyone for coming out to celebrate with us. I truly appreciate it & loved seeing your lovely faces. Until next year! 

Post #317- Miserable


Today was miserable. MISERABLE. 

Our team at work spent a few hours in the afternoon helping out at the Embarcadero store. Luckily, we got to go home early and I was able to catch a quick nap before having a movie night with B. Attempted to watch 2012, but sadly it was sold out already. Instead, we caught The Boondock Saints 2. I didn't really know much about the story line, but I guess someone's fascination with guns somewhat rubbed off on me and this movie made me want to give the shooting range another try hahahaha. 

On another note,
Happy Birthday Tom & Stef!!!!
