This past weekend, I celebrated another birthday. It was good to spend time with family and friends. Ever since I bought my house, I’ve been very conscious of every penny I’ve spent. Because of this, I’ve opted to stay home more often. Don’t get me wrong. Staying at home and doing absolutely nothing is enjoyable to me but I realize I need to be around friends and family.

I celebrated by having various different meals. I had the guys over for a much needed poker game. I walked away being the big winner of the night. I still think it was the fact that it was for my birthday. This broke my losing streaks at 2 levels: (1) this was the first time I won with my own poker chips and (2) this was the first time I won at my own house. There’s still one more streak that hasn’t been broken yet and that’s winning with my infamous “Poker Pimp” shirt. I never win wearing that shirt. Maybe next time.

I took time off on Monday to go to Disneyland and California Adventure. I have to say I really like CA Adventure. Maybe it was because it was an entirely new experience. Either way, I really like that park and wouldn’t mind going back again. Only regret is I didn’t get to go on the “Tower of Terror” ride. Disneyland was good too. Enjoyed the interactive Toy Story ride. It’s like being in a video game during the ride. Saw updates on Small World and Pirates of the Caribbean. It was crowded, hot, and humid but I enjoyed every minute of it. Love that “Fast Pass” system.

As usual, I’m still going through the rigor off uploading my photos on Flickr. I’m probably at 80% complete. I’m hoping to get this done by end of this week (fingers crossed). Then I can upload some newer pictures from this year. Till then, I’ll keep chugging away.

On December 12, was Richie’s birthday. We celebrated by taking him out to King’s Fish House in Long Beach. Had a very nice lobster dinner and awesome cheesecake with chocolate dipped strawberries. The meal was delicious and the company was good. I’m sure he had a great time. He couldn’t stop raving about the cake.

On Saturday, we went over to Sun City for our 5th Annual Holiday Party. We had a huge selection of food! We were entertained by a very thorough and fun trivia game that Sophorn came up with. We also had a couple of intense games of Jenga and our world famous White Elephant gift exchange. This year was probably one of the most funniest exchange. Good times good times.

Leaving Eureka and heading up to Oregon. We passed by the Redwood Forest. Stopped by and looked at Paul Bunyan and Babe the Ox at the Trees of Mystery in Klamath, California. We eventually crossed the Oregon border and ended up driving to Beaverton, Oregon.

Also, I want to say that I have really good friends. People who came out to join me in celebrating my 31st birthday this weekend. We all had a great time at The Crab Pot and The Boiling Crab (yes back-to-back shell fish restaurants). Thanks for the delicious meal and the gifts (even though I said no gifts). My birthday was exactly how I liked it, low-key with good company.

I spent 07/07/07 watching Transformers at the Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood. Not only did the movie met my expectations, it completely blew me and my friends away. Great visual effects, the occassional reference to details from the 80’s cartoon series, and Megan Fox brought smiles across most of our faces. Ok maybe only for the guys. She was SMOKIN HOT!

I managed to get some pictures of the Autobots parked outside of the Arclight on my camera phone.

I also was able to capture all the Autobots on video. Listening to myself speak makes me sound like an idiot. Freakin amateur!

Ok I’m not going to make this an all-Transformers post. I forgot to post earlier last week to wish Samira a Happy Birthday! The rollerskate party and cake was good. Rollerskating after not doing it for awhile was pretty scary. I guess it just comes back to you when you pick yourself up and go!

For my sweetheart’s birthday, I decided to go out and rent a cruiser and take her up the California coast starting from where she lived. I rented a brand new 2007 Honda Shadow Aero. It had 2 miles on the odometer when I picked it up. The bike had a really nice exhaust sound. I don’t like loud bikes like the many Harleys out there. I now know how important it is to have a full-face helmet or a windscreen. The wind killed me when I was wearing the open-faced helmet that they provided me. After riding on the freeway to her house and back home afterwards, my eyes was red for 2 days.

We had alot of fun riding and relaxing up the coast from Long Beach to Malibu. Even took her out through Mullholand and then back down PCH. We took frequent breaks to stretch out. Unfortunately, her back pains got to her at the end so it made it painful to sit longer than the 7 hours we were gone. It’s definitely an experience I’m willing to try again. But maybe not that long all at once. We all that was said and done I brought the bike back with close to 200 miles of riding. Motorcycle rental was provided by Eagleriders. The one in Santa Monica / Marina Del Rey is the only one that rents out the Japanese bikes in the Southland. Most places rents out Harleys or BMWs. They don’t rent out sports bikes if you’re wondering.

Forgot to give recognition to Sophorn last week for her birthday. We had a blast singing karaoke in K-town.

Pictures also included dinner with San’s buddies at Red Moon Cafe. We highly recommended the Garlic Butter Crab. Thanks Miss Jamie for the information about this place.

It’s been non-stop toys since my birthday. As mentioned in a previous post, I received a airsoft spring bb gun and the Nintendo DS Lite. I’ve been playing with both items until recently when I discovered Stikfas thanks to Ton and the Air Hog Aero Ace R/C plane. This past week was spent searching for my blue ninja Stikfas action figure. It’s sitting on top of one of my work monitors in a real cool pose. The next day after purchasing the Stikfas guy, I read on Digg.com that there’s this cheap little plane that people’s been raving about. It’s nearly indestructable when it crashes plus most pros love flying it. On that very night I skipped working out and went to 2 Toys R Us (I only went to Toys R Us because I still had a 10$ credit there). It was the last bi-plane left at TRU.

I finally got to truly fly earlier Friday evening in an empty parking lot. It was difficult at first to keep it in the air, but when I got the hang of it, I was able to maintain flight for about 5 minute at a time. When I got home, I proceeded to pull the throttle spring out and went out to Radio Shack and bought some diodes so I can make the plane be able to turn without engaging the throttle. Both mod instructions was given in detail on the RC Groups forum. Now my plane is perfect! Can’t wait to fly it this weekend. Maybe I might take a video or even some pictures. It’s like my childhood all over again!

My 30th celebration started with a marathon of a poker game. Received two buy-ins from Greg. Lost it pretty fast. Very hard to play serious when the money was given to you by someone else so I decided to pick up on the balance. After buying in for another $80, I made my come-back. At the end of the night, I walked away being up $60. Of course $40 of that was a gift from Greg. Didn’t get home from the game until 5am. Thanks guys for setting it up and hosting a good poker night!

I woke up the same morning at 8am to pack up and get ready for my Idyllwild camping trip. I was done packing by 10am and sat and waited for my ride. Didn’t leave my house until close to 1pm. We reached the camp site close to 3pm and began our feasting. It was a relaxing evening where we sat around the camp fire and just relaxed. The most ideal way of spending my 30th birthday with friends. I turned in at midnight. The tent floor was hard but I was able to fall asleep after having just 3 hours the previous night. I didn’t get up until 8am again. We made breakfast and cleaned up the place. Went into town to sight-see and ended up buying some souvenirs. We departed Idyllwild by 1pm and began our journey to our final destination, Sun City. We unloaded the remaining food in preparation for lunch. Took a long overdue shower and had lunch. I was completely surprised by a birthday cheesecake in my honor.

Needless to say, this was the best birthday I’ve ever had. There was so many people who came out and spent some time with me. Thanks to everyone who made this possible. Thanks to all that sent a card (paper and electronic). Thanks for the text messages. And thanks for all the wonderful gifts. Oh the gifts! I was fortunate to receive a Nintendo DS Lite game system, a bunch of gift cards/certificates, a poker set, DS Lite games, and a spring loaded BB gun. More are coming in the mail!

Again, thanks everyone!
