I’ve been pretty pooped lately with everything that’s been going on. I’ve taken on the role of sunday school teacher in addition to being a fellowship leader. I was a bit stressed about it, seeing how I have to plan twice as much as before, and that I’m the one (and my co-leader Jerry) that’s…

Congratulations again to Miranda and Myron. I was really nervous because I had to give a toast. I wanted to say only 3 words (Happy life, cheers!) but I figured I had to say a bit more than that. I’ve barely recovered from this action-packed weekend. I had fun though. Hmm, was it a coincidence…

Just got back from watching the Niners. It was pretty fun. We sat in a handicap seating area so we had lots of leg room. I gotta say that it was pretty low energy compared to what I imagine it would be like at a regular season game. What do I mean? Well, let me…

Man, on the commute home today, I spilled a drink right in between my legs. It was quite dangerous driving down the freeway trying to dry yourself with hundreds of napkins from your glove compartment. I just thought, oh man, it looks exactly like how it would look if I peed in my pants. Good…

Ever try a lychee martini? Mmm… Actually, I think it was a lychee martini with 1/2 malibu mango. So light it tasted like water. Not a good thing.

I just took apart my entire computer and stuck it in another case. Impressive, no? I am officially a geek now, but good thing no one knows. Too bad my back hurts like crazy right now from hunching over the machine that was on the floor. I don’t know how people can do that for…

I’ve been eating so many meals in my car because I’m on the road so much for work, that I have a glove compartment full of napkins. I’m so ghetto, why throw away good clean napkins? You never know when you might need one in the future.

Check this bad boy out. It uses a 4-color filter so you get better blue-greens, not that I know anything about photography or cameras. But it only costs about a grand. Sony DSC-F828

Got back from LA yesterday, they started work on my kitchen finally, and my domain expired. I don’t really have time to make a new layout right now, so I’ll just use the resources that are out there. We’ll see what I do with this site. It’s kind of generic right now, but oh well.…

I finally found some sunglasses I like. I’m wearing them all the time now to get maximum wearage out of them in case they get stolen again. When I got them, they were a little crooked, so I started adjusting them. Turns out the glasses were fine, it’s my face that’s crooked…hehe. I think my…

We saw these letters and news articles on the wall speaking of Signs and Wonders, a peanut milk drink. We ordered a small bottle and tried it. Sure enough, it tasted like peanut and…
