Taking Back Something You Said?

I've been doing this more and more lately.. saying something, then regretting it.  Today i met an acquaintance from childhood and here's the dialogue:

Me: "Hi, it's so nice to see you"
Him: "Yeah, good to see you too"
Me: "So how's your daughter?  Does she have a kid yet?"
Him: "Oh you don't know.. she got a divorce"

Awkward silence...

Then i remember that i knew i heard the news before, but it just slipped my mind.  I need to think more before i talk.  But sometimes, when you want to say something and hold back, u miss the moment to say it.  Arrg.

Weight Check-In

I was off by 1 lbs.  I blame it on all the food i had over the weekend.  Either way, not bad.  I should def. make my goal by the end of the month.  Exciting!

The best thing about loosing weight is not buying new clothes, but getting to use new holes on your belt.

Redondo Beach with Caroline


Went to Redondo Beach with my cousin Caroline.  Pretty relaxing day.  We first had Shin Sen Gumi and then went to the pier to watch people fishing.  The sun decided to hide today and it was pretty cloudy and chilly.  Should have probably worn a sweater.  However, the water was nice and there were plenty of people swimming.  There were street performers on the pier, and it was a waste of 15 minutes of my life.. they were soooo bad.. they were supposed to dance and stuff, but just ended up forcing volunteers from the crowd and making them dance instead.  That was their big finale.. and they were very persistent on asking for money.

We walked about a mile on the beach shore and it was really nice getting our feet wet.  My back has been giving me problems this past week.  I was in so much pain at one point that i had to go to the drug store to buy "Icy Hot" to numb the pain.  The walk seems to have made a difference.  I was told that for back problems, the best remedy is stretching and walking.  Cudos to whoever told me that.  The pain is residing.

Went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner.. 7ounce Sirloin with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Wild Rice.. Sooo goood... i ended up having to go to the gym due to the volume of calories i had today.

R&R Thai Spa & GNC Visit

R&R Thai Spa

Went to a Massage parlor right by my house today.  I didn't realize i had so many knots all over my body.  $40 for 1 hour, and they did a really good job in getting the tight spots around my lower back and shoulders.  I must say i'm amazed at how much power those little Asian women have.  It was painful at times and had to tell her to take it back a notch. It's painful and relieving at the same time.  If you haven't gotten a good massage, go get one.

Also went to Cerritos Mall and noticed that my favorite restaurant "Great Khan's" was closed.  Either for renovation or closed for good.  There were no signs saying when it was going to reopen so i don't know.  Sad to see it go, because Mongolian bbq you get at the mall is so delicious.  When all other restaurants in the food court have no customers, Great Khans always had a 10 person line.

Visited GNC to pick up thermogenic supplements.  I have been meeting my weekly goals, but i feel like i need an extra jolt to pick up the pace and meet my set expectations.  I picked up 60 capsules of "Tight!".

Movie Review: Up In the Air (2009)



So.. i blogged about what girls look for in a guy during different phases of their life.  This movie explained it much better than i did.  I could write the dialogue, but too lazy right now.  Go watch it.  Pretty good movie about a guy who travels around the US firing people.  George Clooney does a good job.

Rating: 7/10

Starcraft 2 Loading Screen Wallpaper

Ick.. haven't blogged in 10 days.  Just haven't had anything interesting to write lately.  Oh wait, i made my weigh in goal Sat. so i decided to reward myself by buying a Droid X.  Should be here soon.

Also beat SC2 a few days after i got it.  Great game.. just wasn't a fan of how you only get to see the Terran storyline, and have to wait for 2 future expansions.  The game's load screens are amazing, and was surprised that it was so hard to find a good screen shot.  So i went ahead and made my own for wide screen monitors.  The below is a 1920x1080 size wallpaper, so feel free to use it.  I'll add a few more once i get tired of this one.

Song of the Day: 4Men - Baby Baby

Anybody wanna teach me how to play this on the piano?  Awesome song!  I made a simple translation for those interested in the lyrics.



이유를 몰랐어 왜 내가 변했는지
한참 생각했어 나 만난 이후로
나 변한 것 같아 아주 많이 말이야
이 노래 들리니 oh
니가 너무 고맙잖아 oh baby
니가 너무 예쁘잖아 oh
눈을 뗄 수가 없어 내 눈엔 너만 보여
너만 계속 바로 보고 싶잖아 난 oh 정말 oh baby
하루가 지나고 (하루가 지나고)
또 다시만나고 그러다 헤어지고
또 다시 만나게 되고 너무 좋은거야
마냥 웃기만 해 이런 내가 보이니? woo baby
니가 너무 고맙잖아 oh baby
니가 너무 예쁘잖아 woo
눈을 뗄수가 없어 내 눈엔 너만 보여
너만 계속 바라보고 싶잖아 난 oh 정말
내 하루 하루가 너무 행복해서 oh baby
이런날이 끝나질 않길 모든게 다 변하지 않길
니가 너무 고맙잖아 oh baby
니가 너무 예쁘잖아 oh oh oh ye
눈을 뗄 수가 없어 내 눈엔 너만 보여
너만 계속 바라보고 싶잖아 난 oh 정말
Oh baby oh oh oh

I don't know the reason i changed
I thought often after we met
I've changed a lot
Do you hear this song?

I'm so thankful
You're so beautiful
I can't keep my eyes off you, you're the only one i see
I just want to keep looking at you

A day has passed, and we meet again
Then we part, and we meet again
Isn't it great, can you see me smiling?

I'm so thankful
You're so beautiful
I can't keep my eyes off you, you're the only one i see
I just want to keep looking at you

My days are filled with happiness
I wish this day and everything doesn't change

I'm so thankful
You're so beautiful
I can't keep my eyes off you, you're the only one i see
I just want to keep looking at you
