28.06.10 butt end

So one thing I forgot to mention about the weekend was that it was the Gay Pride weekend. Even though we had an early start to the day, we only caught the butt end of the parade. But there were still lotsa people there yelling "pride!" at me so I felt the love.

We hit up South Center mall and I just HAD to try on the jewelries at forever 21. Little sister would L O V E these rings... All of them were under 12$!

Angelo and Vince decided to come down and spend a manly overnight excursion in Seatown. So we hooked up with them to show them where P.J. Malone from Ireland rests. And that is coincidentally right beside where the graves of Bruce and Brandon Lee are. So they took their photos and I took a pic of P.J. Malone's grave, just to prop him out.

So after the grave, we rode out to a delicious taco truck... Actually, it was more like a bus. The back end was the kitchen and the front half was the seating area. Next time I go, I'll take a pic of me with my head out the window. Until then, a shot of Angelo and I, as well as the long view of the bus will just hafta do.

Seattle is always such an adventure for me. I love coming down here. Makes me :D

27.06.10 ponies and rainbows!

I spent this past weekend in Seattle... Mad fun!
Ate at Nijo's, a sushi bar and grill with a wicked dj (he spun highschool classics like Color Me Bad and DMX!). They had fun rolls like the ponies and rainbows maki (crab salad, tempura prawn and BBQ eel sauce... No ponies or rainbows for real).
Then it was off to HG Lodge for some DJ Cosmo Baker. He killed it! And he did a wicked MJ set. I was almost as ecstatic as the guy who knew the words to almost every song.
Today started out with a manicure and pedicure at my favourite salon, Queen Bee Nail and Spa. Wicked job as usual for just 25$ before tip.
Before long we went to eat. But wait! Where to? A Hawaiian joint in Silver City in Seattle called Kona Kitchen. The food was delicious! But the best part was that it was opened by the bad guy in Karate Kid Part 2! Seriously stupid awesome. After our meal, I got to play the hand drum thing that made the bad guy lose! And Ron got to get beat up by the bad guy's action figure (his name is Chozen... Yeah super cheesy. "The man" totally picked that name). How cool is it that Yoji Okomoto has his own action figure?! Not to shabby!

13.06.10 what did one garden gnome say to the other?

at first i thought these mini figures were corny. tacky even. it's good they're so small that you wouldn't notice them til you're up close. if they were any bigger, i'd be the crazy lady with the garden of statues ("is that you?" hahaha that's the punchline to my joke. to be said with a filipino accent ;p ).

but when i do the boring chore of watering the garden, they make it less boring. particularly the plastic tarantula.

12.06.10 Filipino independence day with the biking barkada!

See the full gallery on posterous

today was an absolutely beautiful day for a bike ride. the barkada met up at the plaza of nations and we were off... seawall, english bay, lost lagoon, coal harbour, trade and convention centre, crab park (where these photos are taken), gastown, robson, granville then home.

i had a great ride. maybe it was the asthma meds and ibuprofen i took before i left. nah, i think it was my company. without fail, the guys i roll with never cease to make me feel good. I enjoy their company. there's no gossip, petty ish or negativity that hangs around when we're together. it's like a happy, fun-loving, positive attitude everytime we kick it. and i don't ever feel like the "girl" in the group either. i'm a rider, just like the boys, and we ride cuz that's what we do. we're so united. it's like how a gang of filipinos SHOULD be.

i could not have thought of a better way to spend a beautiful filipino independence day than with my biking barkada. thanks guys.
