hello? is anyone out there? I hate Mondays. This one in particular. My weekend was so much fun and this Monday sucked so much worse in comparison. Mars, Gary, Debbie and Anne stayed with me for the weekend and on Friday night we met up with mixed Chris, Sara and Nessa at the Yardhouse in Pasadena for a late dinner and drinks. Gary and Mars each ordered a full-yard and despite the fact that they paid more (and risked a $20 charge for breaking the extremely delicate looking yard-glasses) they felt the entertainment of trying to drink out of such an inconveniently shaped glass was well worth it. Whoever dreamt up the concept behind Yardhouse is a genius. I woke up Saturday morning scrunched into a ball in one corner of my bed, covered by only a tiny flap of my blanket because Mars' and his 6'2" self was taking up the bottom half of my bed and most of my covers. After watching the first disc of season two of 24 (which Paul got me for my birthday) we headed to Tommy's for some chili and cheese covered food (their first time there). Then we went to the Santa Monica pier and were going to lay out in the sand for a bit until we realized none of us brought towels (we're geniuses I tell you). Mars and I hunted down a frozen banana (for him) and stumbled over a bar with a Saturday happy hour so the five of us decided to take a break before walking back to the car. After getting my sunglasses (which have been broken for a year and a half) fixed for free and in under ten minutes, we shopped on the Promenade for about an hour before heading home to get ready for my birthday dinner.
Of course, because we are Asian, we left my apartment at 9:30, an hour behind schedule *cough*Thelma and P*cough* and had to wait almost an hour to eat...but it turned out okay because World Cafe has premium martinis for 8 bucks and the lounge area was pretty empty still. All I ate all day was a Krispy Kreme glazed donut and half an order of Tommy's chili's cheese fries...and since it was my birthday and all I finished two martinis before we were even seated for dinner. Needless to say I got quite drunk Saturday night. I still remember everything that happened but I remember it like it was a dream if you know what I mean haha =) Don't worry I didn't do anything stupid/embarrassing, I just get a little louder when I'm drunk and I walk around with a big moronic smile plastered onto my face. Too bad I forgot my camera.
Let's see that brings me to Sunday. I woke up without a hangover (I'm convinced it was the premium vodka as opposed to the usual Popov or Smirnoff or something equally disgusting) but P didn't fare quite so well (he mostly drank the dirty Smirnoff because he had to drive and couldn't drink until we got home). He went home and I went out to Roscoe's with everyone else...came back to the apartment...food coma for four hours (also because I was exhausted from the night before)...yup that was my weekend. Completely unproductive, lots of alcohol. But it was so much fun and I didn't have to pay for it with a hangover!
That brings me to today. Which sucked. Work sucked because I found out that there's a chance I'm going to get left behind in the office during the VP Cheney event tomorrow. I better not though...one of the few perks of this job is getting to go to these events and hear people like Vice-President Cheney speak...I just feel completely under-appreciated there right now because I do all the bitch work. Oh yeah and to Serenity and Dorsano, thanks for the advice about teaching...it was something I kind of thought about doing before I got my internship with the current company. I think I could really enjoy teaching and I wouldn't mind grading papers...heck anything is better than alphabetizing for 12 hours straight >< But yeah, it's definitely something I still need to think about for awhile...And to Dave, there actually is one more President Bush event in August (well, it's technically the RNC Gala, but President Bush will be there). If anyone is interested let me know and I'll email you the invite. It starts at $1k. Also, Senator Arlen Specter will be fundraising here in August if anyone's interested in that.
Um, yeah there was a bunch of other stuff about today that sucked but now I think I've written more than enough for today especially considering I edited a few more Ohio pictures...Oh yeah, without Mr. Howard Ching I would not be able to make it through the work day...thanks for being the only other person online at 8:30 in the morning! You're the best =)
They bought 88 dozen roses and the bride and her bridesmaids hand-made all the flower arrangments.
My grandma and grandpa (well actually step-grandpa...they were both widowed and got married to each other in their 70's).
Little Ian in his Ohio State wagon got to be the ringbearer.
This was a practice run.
Luckily he didn't put the helmet in his mouth during the actual wedding.
My cousin Darwin being walked down the aisle by his pastors.
This was during Darwin's parent-appreciation speech...there was not a single dry eye in the house, you can see the best-man bawling in the background.
My Aunt Margaret (his mommy) during the parent-appreciation speech.
The happy couple.
Me, my mom, my sister.
I never noticed this before but I think I got my smile from my grandma.
My cousin Janie and her daughter Christina.
And there's her son Justin.
And there's Justin sleeping at the reception...there is apparently a picture of him dancing with his pants down around his ankles at my cousin Steve's wedding so you know the kid is going to have one embarrassing slideshow at his wedding.
To the left of the empty chair is my sister, then me, my cousin Steven, his wife Janice, my cousin Karen, my cousin Eric, then his wife Mindy and finally my cousin Jennifer (the empty seat is her boyfriend Joel, who was taking the picture).
This was taken the morning everyone left, I woke up to my mom dangling Ian's legs in my face at 8 a.m. I look rather disheveled but he's so darn cute even at 8 a.m. =)
My grandma, my aunt and Ian...three generations in one picture =)
Okay that's all for now! My tendonitis is starting to make itself known again. wingless was still breathing at 8:49 PM -
