Child abuse :)

Little fun with my cousin Claire... she was fine afterwards... hehe =P (Check about half way into the video if you're lazy....)

Wallet's Bleeding!

OMG!  Gas prices are insane.  I guess it doesn't help with the fact that I have a car that sucks in 91 octane fuel... I paid almost 65 bucks today for a full tank of gas!  That's the cost of a video game... :(  At some point I will definitely have to start thinking about using the trolley/coaster to get to work (*gulp* or even think about riding my bike to work from SDSU area to Mira Mesa)

Enjoying a warm weekend in San Diego

Thuy Anh and I decided to go on an adventure this week, so we took the trolley out to the San Diego Convention Center and then afterwards headed out to Little Italy.  After a nice pleasant hike in an albeit warm environment and getting a slight tan, we got to the Little Italy Spaghetteria.  Despite some average reviews of the place, we tried it anyways (influenced by a buy 1 get one free coupon) and were pleasantly surprised by food.  TA ordered a shrimp primavera pasta and I ordered something resembling a chinese hot bun with red sauce :)  Not bad!

 

On Sunday, I got the chance to take my mountain bike out on a spin, hangin' out with my friends Trang and Andrew on the trails of Penesquitos Canyon Reserves near Mira Mesa.  Was a total blast to break in the new mountain bike and get a taste of speed riding downhill.

New Bike! And other assorted updates...

What a week!  I think I worked like 60 hours this week, but had a project due, so had to be a trooper to get it all done so that I can at least enjoy the weekend :)

My little niece Claire came down, and had a blast... of course she decided to try my snowboarding helmet on just for kicks....

On Wednesday this week, Thuy Anh and I decided to go for a nice little hike in Balboa Park.  If you haven't done so recently, I highly recommended!  We had a nice time just chillin' around =P

And finally after much anticipation, I got my bike I bought online on Tuesday built it up, sent it in to get tuned up, and finally got it back today.  I'm stoked!  Took it out for a ride this morning and it was a blast.  Can't wait to take it out this weekend (hopefully its not too hot)

Time to breathe part 2!

Also this last weekend (May 3rd-4th) Thuy Anh and I went back to Arizona to hang out with her parents as well as have a house party with her friends. Was totally fun, as we bbq'd and played Ticket to Ride (here at amazon).

But a totally cool thing today was I bought a mountain bike, so I will be ready to start taking it on the mean trails of San Diego wilderness (at least what's left of it!)

Finally time to breathe! (part 1)

Been so busy lately haven't even had time to update this thing!

Its been a crazy last few weeks, including a work trip to the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) in Las Vegas. The highlight of that was I got my parents to come out who thoroughly enjoyed it... with some gambling on the side of course!
