Okay, during the end of last week I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t upload photos from my iPhoto onto my blog. I just found out how EASY it was to fix it. Ugh. Don’t you hate when you know it’s hella easy to fix something but you just can’t figure it out?

ANYWAYS…I got a new snowboard!
In my previous posts I showed you which boards I wanted but they were kind of pricey for me, so I ended up with this one.It’s a Salomon board I found on sale. It’s a 151 free ride board which is perfect for me. I bought some Burton bindings and boots too.

This weekend we went up to Tahoe for my friend Tre’s birthday. We both have new boards so we got to break em’ in a little and see how they feel. It snowed Friday night when we got to the cabin so we headed up to Heavenly on Saturday and enjoyed the fresh powder.

But first…snowball fights.

Awesome views on the way home. I have more pictures on my Flickr account but here are a couple.

…and then I got bored and played around with my camera.

Reno this weekend. Where we going? Northstar or Mt.Rose? I need to buy my ticket!

Golden Gate Park is literally across the street from my apartment and yesterday was the first time I decided to go for a walk. Usually my walk consists of going down the street and grocery shopping at the Asian markets, hitting up Walgreens, the pizza place or the liquor store. But the weather was nice so I headed towards Stow Lake.

I sat on a bench for awhile and kicked it with the ducks. I forgot how beautiful the colors of the feathers were. It was kind of peaceful just sitting there.

So while I was walking along the trail there were a lot of trees and a lot of squirrels. One squirrel decided to run straight towards me. I swear it was about to attack me and then suddenly it stopped 2 or 3 feet in front of me. I really wanted to take a picture of it, but I honestly got freaked out a bit. I tried walking around it but it just continued to circle me. I know this all sounds so stupid but let me tell you, I was trippin out! We proceeded our little face off and I walked away, but every time I turned around it was still there following me! When it finally went away I called my friend Regina to tell her. I knew she’d get a good laugh out of it. Next time I’ll bring someone with me and see what happens next. Those squirrels are probably so used to humans being around they’re not afraid to see if we have food!

I can’t believe I didn’t post this earlier!

It’s that time of year again!
Dine About Town happens for two weeks in January and gives you the opportunity to try a bunch of restaurants in San Francisco. You get to choose your dishes from a prefixed menu for a fixed price of either $21.95 for lunch or $34.95 for dinner. Did I mention it’s a 3 course meal? Yep, you get to choose an appetizer, entree, and dessert!

Check out the website to see what restaurants are participating.
You better hurry, it ends January 31st! Happy eating!

And if anyone ends up at Roy’s Hawaiin Fusion Cuisine…get the chocolate souffle…haha

The other night I went to dinner with a few friends @ Win on Taravel. I’ve never been there but I guess I would say it’s your regular Chinese restaurant. I was wondering why my friend Pat chose to eat Chinese food but apparently there’s no good Chinese food in Tacoma, Washington where he goes to school. Haha

After dinner we headed out to MarcoPolo. I haven’t had this in over a year!

Deeeeeeelicious.

Earlier today I headed over to Oakland to see my friend Evan (AdaptClothing.com). Sorry this isn’t the greatest picture Evan! Haha Evan’s line is starting to grow and is at your local TRUE locations along with other Bay Area boutiques and online shops.

We headed out to lunch and ended up going to a chicken and waffle spot near Jack London Square. YUM! I think I’m due for a trip to LA or Long Beach and get me some Roscoe’s.

For those of you shop owners and buyers, Evan will be in Vegas during the week of Magic. For more info hit him up on AdaptClothing.com.

I’ve never read the book or even watched the movie, but I have some friends that LOVE Twilight. So if you’re a fan and like to read up on it, check out this blog created by Yoshi, MissLawn, and Raaachem.

LA-Check it out!
This weekend @ The Basement

Happy Birthday to my Mama! We decided to celebrate my Mom’s birthday on Saturday night since she was going to watch a Chinese Opera tonight on her real birthday.

My parents got that Asian head tilt going.

Grandma is so cute! My brother decided to put his hat on her.

Lobster…YUM.

My parents and some of their friends.

Also a birthday shout out to LIZ! Happy Birthday Lady!
AZULI in San Mateo Saturday Jan 10th! Holla!

I’m so excited to be heading up to Tahoe at the end of the month. It’s been a year since I had a weekend in Tahoe with friends! Sure we’ve had day trips but we haven’t been in a cabin in a loooong time. For the last two years I’ve been saying that I want to get my own boarding gear, buuuut I still haven’t done it. I keep finding boards I LOVE but they’re either 1. too expensive or 2. don’t come in my size. And this season I found a board I absolutely love that is too expensive.

The Burton Custom does come in youth sizes for a good price, but the sizes only go up to 145w and I’m looking for a board from 149-152. The men’s sizes run from $499-$549 which is more than what I would like to spend on a board.

I think for the meantime I’m going to keep my eyes on this one. I saw this one before I saw the Burton Custom, but it was pretty expensive. I checked it again and now it’s on sale! YAY!
First thing’s first though…I still need to get a few more things for my apartment. Haha
