Defying Gravity

I left a yet another busy week behind, and started off my weekend with a loud BANG! :)

Mike and I went on an all-out date tonight. :) Because today was the Feast Day of St. Joseph, it was ok to eat meat on this friday. Father Downey said so, hehe! With that in mind, we weren't limited to our choice of food to eat. We opted in for Buckhorn Grill, where I had my favorite Bacon Cheddar Buck with a side of sweet potato fries. Mm.. ;) After dinner, we walked over to Teacake Bakeshop for some much-craved cupcakes, and got our parking validated by purchasing coffee from Barnes & Noble. Heheh! The traffic towards San Francisco was pretty hectic near the toll plaza, but got a little spacier as we drove on to the bridge.

Then guess what? Mike and I watched WICKED at the Orpheum Theater. Finally.. :) The play was soooo good. Eden Espinosa played Elphaba, which I thought was pretty cool because she was the voice behind the summer "Magical" fireworks at Disneyland. Without taking anything away from her and the rest of the cast members, I honestly thought that Kendra Kassebaum as our Glinda made watching the musical that much more worth it. She was hilarious, and I loved her energy! Oh my. I definitely recommend this musical to anyone and everyone! GO!

You're still beautiful.  It's not lying; it's looking at things another way.
Blonde.
Lemons and melons and pears. Oh my!
You've been... Galindafied!


Love, love, love.

March madness!

It's been about two weeks since I last updated, and already... it's midway through the month. Oh man! There have been some changes at work. As always, it's hectic and people don't get tired of complaining. =/ That's what tires me out the most about work. I mean, deadline? Sure! Reports? Gotcha. Never becoming satisfied? What the eff?! Anyway, one of my co-workers was terminated.  It was a long time coming, but I still would've never thought it would be like it was. Despite all my ramblings about her and her hot & cold attitude, I miss her. One and a half years of working together was a pretty long time, and we had a lot of good laughs and memories. *sigh...* I'm just glad I left early the day she received the bad news; otherwise, I would've been in tears. It's never a good day when you have to say goodbye. I wish her well though - and a baby! :)  In her replacement, I am getting a transferee from another branch. She starts tomorrow, and I hope all will be well. As it has always been, I will be the youngest at my branch. Heh.

So far this month, I have indulged in some delicious eat-outs! :) Some of my favorites are as follows:

• The "whole shabang" array of seafood and sweet potato fries from Boiling Crab, San Jose. You can truly never go wrong there. Plus, we went on a weekday right before they open, so we didn't have to wait hours to eat. :)
• Dim sum on carts from King Valley Tea House, Pinole. I just really like good dim sum for cheap prices, haha.
•  Fish & Chips from Woodhouse Fish Co., San Francisco. It was fresh and easy to chew. Their shoestring fries and clam chowder were also winners. My boyfriend ordered their Chipotle Calamari Roll which was very delicious as well.
• The now famous Burritozilla from Iguanas, San Jose. If you ever watch Man vs Food, you definitely know the Burritozilla. It's an eighteen inch, five pound burrito. Such a beast!

After doing all that, I feel like I should create a Yelp! username. LOL. We'll see.

Lastly, today was such an eventful day! Mike and I left early in the morning (7:30ish) to travel to San Jose for the 4th time in the span of one week. This time, we had a very important purpose. My nephew, Patrick, was selected to attend the National Young Leaders State Conference, and today was his commencement.  I have to say that I am very proud of this young man. He is turning thirteen this week, and I cannot ask for more from such an amazing nephew. :)

Good night!

Oinks!

Days that follow a fantastic weekend or holiday never fail to make realize that I live in the real world. Ow! Saturday was the "big day" I had taken charge of with K. Emerson to make Sarah feel special. It was all going just fine until an uninvited someone ruined it. I was sooooo pissed! ;[ I'm just glad that she didn't show up because I honestly would've walked out. Blehh.. -___- Overall, it turned out to be a fun day celebrated with some of the best people I know. Later that evening, Precise Gang, formerly known as Chargers also formerly known as B2K, played their first game of the season... and won in double overtime. Woot,woot. The next day, I chowed down on some dim sum with my brother, niece, and favorites. I love dim sum, and I really can't wait until the next time I get some. Lol. *Oink!*

Of course, work... never changes. It was going well, then I realized that my coworkers are very sketchy. What's cool right now is hell in ten minutes. I don't know what to do with them anymore. :( So that sounds awful, right? Well, that's basically the least of my problems. Argh... =/

Lord, please guide me and give me the strength to be strong. I trust in You.
