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

Pat & B

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

Deeeeeeelicious.

Reg, B, Pat

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.

WHATTHEFORKS?

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

I spent my New Years Eve indoors at my friend’s place. We watched the ball drop on tv and ended up playing quarters! Haha

*Cheers* Happy New Year!

Hugs and phone calls.

Quarters! Let the games begin…

Tina is ALWAYS the first to ass out.

For the last week I’ve been trying to figure out what to do for NYE and it made me realize that I wasn’t too excited for the new year. Last year I got to celebrate it with my close girl friends at the SF Galleria and it had to be one of the best new years ever. But this year everyone’s doing their own thing.

It wasn’t until today that I realized I should be excited for the new year. My coworker, Johanna, kept saying how she had this feeling that 2009 was going to be a good year and I honestly don’t think I’ve seen anyone that excited about a new year than she was today.

I have to say I’ve had a pretty exciting year; great opportunities, a new school, new apartment (even though it’s only been a month since I moved out!), the cruise, and a lot of great memories with awesome people. But I also had some of the bad; a friend who was shot and killed (R.I.P JD), betrayal from a person I trusted. Life isn’t always fair, but we live and we learn right? I’ve made new years resolutions in the past and to be honest I wasn’t the best at following through with all of them. But I’m starting to feel like this year is going to be different. I’m not making any new resolutions, but I am keeping ones I have already made so I can keep striving for more.

So goodbye to the good, the bad, and the ugly. It’s been a pleasure 2008.
A New Year. A New Beginning.
Stay Motivated.
