I think that I gained a good 5 pounds from going home this past weekend. Eating dinner at the new house, an awesome lunch at Ranch 99 Sam Woo BBQ, dinner at my aunt's house, lunch the next day at mom's new house, and sushi for dinner before the flight... Mmmmmm ....good stuff! I can't say that I've eaten that well in quite a while. I didn't have the appetite to actually eat an In-N-Out Burger, but I still remember the taste.

Catching the flight last night was rather smooth although I was coming close to them closing the flight on me. Sushi with Greg, Brent and Adelle was just too much fun. Tempura Ice Cream...we definitely have to do it again soon fellas. Thanks a lot to a friend for the gift. More or less, its was always more symbolic than just face value.

I haven't been in such a low seat count flight in a while, but I guess it is the low season. I got on, actually got some sleep, arrived home around 5:30 AM, got more rest and made it to work right on time. Now, the biggest problem is how and what to pack for this trip. Anyone have any ideas?

by the way...what do you think of the new layout? I just finalized the banner with a couple of random images that change on refresh. I also added the time in Lux and the wather map has changed to correspond to where I'll be. Click around and don't forget to check out trelijah from time to time. It might change though when I get to Lux because my treo probably won't be operational overseas.

After a fun filled morning of sleeping and talking to a friend for a while, I finally got out of bed waking up at 1300 PDT. I got ready by 1400 PDT and headed out to Sam Woo BBQ with Adelle, Corinne, Marella, and Jojo for some Chinese. I chose not to eat In N Out because of all the burgers I've been eating while in Florida. I'm sure I'll be eating that before I leave tomorrow night or something. We ordered up the restaurant at Sam Woo! We had Chef's Special Fried Rice, House Chow Mein, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Beef Broccoli, Salted Fried Pork Chop and Watergrass with garlic sauce. That was an awesome feast.

I finally got a good haircut that didn't result in shaving my head from a Vietnamese guy that Jojo recommended and then headed back to Adelle's Apartment. Chilled for a little bit then went to my aunt's house in Scripps Ranch to hang out with the cousins and eat more! Got to relax a little bit over there. Good times. I'll post some pix once my cousin Nicki sends them over! ~grrrr

We decided to watch "The Last Kiss" but on the way to the theater after talking about Frosty's at Wendy's I decided to make a detour and pick one up. Mmmmm, it was good. So, on to my little review: It was pretty good. I didn't know what to expect other than a Garden State 2 remix but I was rather impressed. I wouldn't give it a nine or ten, but it was done well. A strong 8 is on par. A story about 20 something year olds on the verge of family life or on the road already is something that we all could to relate to. I didn't really personally but I definitely see it everywhere. Friends getting married, some having kids, things just "ending." I like to always think of it as a beginning to the end of loneliness and a start for lifelong friendships and family. Go check it out! I wanted to bring my cousins but it was a little late and when she told me it was rated "R" I was surprised. After watching it, I guess that some scenes were for 13 year olds, but man...not a lot of things are. Off to sleep now!

Calling last night for the loads for this weekend, the customer representative told me that I was good to go. I got to the counter this morning and was assigned a seat right away. Smoothness. I got a chance to finally begin work on some details prior to my leaving the country but still have yet to submit it to the big guy.

I arrived this morning in Long Beach and am back in town just to say, "Goodbye till next time..." to a few of my friends. I met a really cool individual that worked at Southwest and chatted up until we landed. Good times.

I had a great lunch with my mom and dad who also picked me up at Long Beach. Thanks guys for that. It's actually been a lot of fun. Really homey even in the new home that they just moved into. It's HUGE! I like it because its really expansive and roomy just all over. Good luck to the fam in trying to consolidate everything into this house. I hope that things pull through in accomplishing a 100% move. :-)

I'll be here till Sunday so if you are reading this, you should give me a call. The next few days are going to be a doozy! I'll miss the counter crew at jetBlue Fort Lauderdale. Thanks for everything guys!

Northport!

I just came back from one of the best trips that I've had in a while. This past weekend, my old roommate and I went up to his home town, Northport, Long Island for a fair that goes on every year called Cow Harbor Day. There were so many things to do and see. Not only does his family sponsor the race, but it feels as if everyone knows someone or is somehow connected that it gives you a sense of community. It is kind of just like the story tale communities that you hear all about growing up.
So anyways, we went fishing that Saturday and I was the first to catch a fish! I hooked a 28" Stripped Bass which we kept and ate for dinner. It was awesome! I also ended up catching 3 more fish but they were only blue fish. Not bad for a first in Long Island.

We couldn't have had a better weekend. Now, I'm back at work just helping others fix their computers once again. =)

Oh yeah...what about them Chargers?1 I'm also 2-0 in the Fantasy League that we have going with have the 2nd to lowest score too. I'm just lucky so far, but we'll see this week. Being that the Chargers have a bye, my fantasy team had 4 players out, but I've gotten their positions filled in just fine.

This is nutty! Don't you wish that you could do something like this?
