Musical Mosaic
As you may have noticed, all kinds of music, with the exception of country, appeal to me. A month or so ago, I was at Yoshi’s to see Irie Love and CRSB perform. Irie Love, who hails from Hawaii, sings reggae. CRSB, Bay area guys with ties to Hawaii, sing more mainstream pop/hip hop kind … Continue reading
It’s Going To Be One of Those Nights…
where I go to bed at 1:00 a.m. and get up the following morning at 6:45 a.m. Why is that, you ask? Because it’s 11:40 p.m. and I just got home from the gym about 5 minutes ago. Once this post is finished, I have to take a quick shower, take my contacts out, wash … Continue reading
Party Like A Rock Star… Or Not
What an unproductive weekend! Friday was the last day for one of the analysts, a female, in our office. She had plans to go out drinking with the analysts from our group (finance) and the other group (real estate) around 4:00 p.m. One of our male analysts invited me along as well, though he showed … Continue reading
Vive La France!
For Bastille Day Weekend, I decided to do something French-themed every day/night. On Friday, I went to the Grand Opening of Muka over by Davies Symphony Hall. The owner, Jean-Luc, is a former bartender at my favorite neighborhood French wine bar, Amelie. He opened his own place, Moussy’s Cafe, in L’Alliance Francaise, which recently relocated … Continue reading
Money, Money, Money or Where Does It All Go?
Yesterday was pay day. Then I made a little list of what needed to be paid for and took care of them. Those included three credit cards, three monthly investments, my gym membership, the remainder of the casita that’s reserved in Santa Fe, the roundtrip shuttle from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, a new battery for … Continue reading
Post 4th of July
All things considered, my 4th of July wasn’t bad. I started the day by meeting my friend and her daughter at AMC Theaters to see the matinee of “Despicable Me 2.” I’m not usually a huge fan of animated movies, but the original “Despicable Me” was my favorite. Although this one was cute, the original … Continue reading
Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Lemonade
Although I would still LOVE the chance to live abroad, I am proud to be an AMERICAN, enjoying the many freedoms that we have!!! Happy Independence Day!!!
Of Things Unseen
Being of Asian/Pacific Islander descent, being “superstitious” is probably second nature to me. I don’t travel without a rosary and/or a religious icon. Now, after having had it for 2 or 3 years, I also don’t like to travel without my silver Barong ring from Bali. The Barong is for protection. Sometimes I also wear … Continue reading
Musical Mass Confusion Monday
I’m all over the place today; lots on my mind. The new roommate, Austin, was by this evening to pick up his key, pay the rent and begin moving his things. He said that he’d probably have to make 6 or 7 trips, though I think he was only here once. He said that he’d … Continue reading
