Occupying my time...

Lack of posts since i've been keeping myself busy. I thought about doing a run down, but i'll just hit on a couple events.

a) At the end of June, Garland and I went to Seal Beach to do kayaking with a singles groups i joined. Besides seeing the classic Batmobile on the freeway, we were also surprised to see people we knew at the event as well (Clara and Bituin). While it was supposedly designed to introduce you to new people, I had fun kayaking with Clara, getting Garland and Bituin wet, but less so on the almost drowning when i swam from the beach to the homes on the docks. Overall it was a beautiful day with great people.



b) Later that nite, went out with Jerry and David. Had a delicious japanese dinner that we followed up with playing games at ESPN zone. It was there that david introduced me to my newest vice....the jagar bomb. Hit me pretty good the first time...and i've since taken out a number of my cousins and friends with it.

c) The next day i was in Cerritos for Auntie Nita's birthday party. It was a very low key event, but you can see there was a lot of love and preparation involved. All the family coming together, i was really moved by the slide show. Its amazing to me to see how much a phenomenal woman auntie nita is and her continued love for my uncle toy. If only it was easier to find love like that. She has such a wonderful daughter in Mila for looking out for her and planning the day.

d) Saw transformers twice, then had a 4th of July BBQ with family followed by joining Jerry's family for dinner and fireworks. It was great (except when garland got hit by a firework).

e) Visiting Friends
-Got to visit my princess kelly and hang out at Dave and Busters in Irvine. It was nice catching up and seeing how my lil princess has grown up (and older =p). Still cute though.
-Took the day off to meet with Nick for dinner. He was stationed in Afganistan and is about to get deployed to Iraq. Spend the day in Ventura County and meet up with Ohana peeps. Ended the nite with Life Free or Die Harder. I noticed a trend with movies (Die Harder, Transformers) of bringing back the Nokia phone. Hopefully i'll find one i like =)

f) This past saturday, went with the kayaking group and my cousin Rozelle on a speed dating event. Was along the lines of what i expected for the event and i felt i held my own. Rather crazy jumping from girl to girl and finding things to say within the 2 minute span. I got about 3 matches (although i had picked like 20), but not necessarily with people i had interest in. I went in with just the understanding i was there to make new friends. Oh well, we'll see what happens afterwards.
The highlight of the night thought was checking out the 7-11/Kwik-E-Mart on Venice and Sepulveda. Even at 1am, there was a line to get in. I've got to organize my page a bit better of photo support, but here are a couple that were cool.
