Trip back to the Bay

It's been a while since i blogged. I've been just busy and tired. I still need to create an editorial for the bbq event on Aug. 2nd. I just haven't had the time or energy to do it yet. But i'm updating this blog first! I'm so random.

I wonder if i'll remember everything that went on when i went up to the bay. Good thing i have pictures to remind me.

July 30th (Wednesday) - Yong came over at night time after i finished work that day. We hung out and slept a lil until about 5:30am when we left for the bay.

July 31st (Thursday) - We made some good time and avoided a lot of the traffic and made it back home in 5 hours. I got some good food - and fell asleep. I think i slept all day.. and then i went to my friend Kevin's house and then went to play a little bit of pool and retired early.

August 1st (Friday) - Yong left for Sacramento to visit his folks, and i stayed back. I think i met up with Ellis Go and went to lunch at Chef Peking this day cuz i was craving their delicious Chicken Friend Rice (no green onions).. yuM! It was damn good.. just the way i remembered it. I dropped off Ellis back at his pad, and picked up a oil filter and some oil and changed my oil. I took a shower and then met up my other friend Elis with one "L" and had some QCup which is north cal's version of Tapioca Express. We talked for a long time and caught up with our lives. My mom called me later - telling me to go to church, so i left QCup and went. After church, i met up my friend Justin at Starbucks and talked to him for a bit. His still going out with his gf Yatine which is pretty damn coo. I hope the best for those two.

After we parted, i headed to Santana Row to meet up my ex-coworker Roman from Excite@Home days. We met up at Straits which is ironic cuz Roman is gay. But oh well. We had a few drinks... oh yeah.. Ellis Go was with me too.. and then hit up this club that had $3 cover. And er.r.. it just happened to be a gay club. WOWA. One of the guys from NY in our group started freaking out cuz his homophobic or something. It was pretty late at night, so we didn't stay there long. CRASHED!

August 2nd (Saturday) - Woke up late for the bbq.. i'll write in more detail about the bbq in the junkie editorial.. around 7pm i met up my cousin Hooni @ starbucks and had a nice chat with him. His going to UCLA this fall.. so congrats! Afterward I went to the night party in SF with ppl i know.. then crashed in the city @ a friends crib cuz i was unable to drive.

August 3rd (Sunday) - Woke up at 10am cuz my mom wanted me to attend church again - so i drove back down from the city at 10 in the morning with a hang over. After church, my family and I were able to finally have a nice family lunch at AppleBees. After, came home and met up with Yong. We went to Starbucks (yes.. i went to starbucks and drank milk tea the whole time i was there).. and met up my friend Emily who was leaving to SD. I introduced the two - and hopefully she'll hook Yong up with a nice girl in UCSD.

Around 6pm, we went back home and decided not to go back to socal that day cuz we were pretty tired from the night before. I ended up going to sleep and my parents wanted to go eat .. so my family went to eat at BJ's which is a pretty sweet place. It was my first time there. I was pretty stuffed by this time - i couldn't eat anymore and felt sick. Went home - and my homie Viet calls me up so i go over, and pick up the 19" TV that he doesn't use anymore. CRASHED.. tired.

August 4th (Monday) - Me and Yong decide we should leave around 8pm to beat the traffic. I woke up around 12pm and my ex-coworker Fanny called me. We met up at Chef Peking in Redwood City which was the restaurant that we ALWAYS used to go to back in the days.. and had a nice long chat and etc. I came back home and met up with Yong, Kevin, and Elis and had Boba at QCup until about 7pm.. and i came home packed.. ate dinner at home.. then met up Yong at Starbucks and came back home.


I think that's how everything played out - i might be missing a few pieces here and there because it's hard to remember things these days. Overall it was a lot of fun, and i think i met everyone that was on my list. Some ppl, i didn't have phone numbers.. and others weren't around town - so that sucked. Next time i go - i'll probably hit up Oakland and see my friends there - cuz i didn't get to hang out with them this time around.
