Brent's & Bowling


We (Alvin, Amelia, Allan, Adrian, Karla, Mami, Thomas, Joy, Marco, and Me) had a fabulous time bowling today. Then we had the yummiest food ever at Brent's Delicatessen & Restaurant. Although the day started out a little boring, the evening turned out to be tons of fun!

Weird and Different



This has got to be one of the weirdest websites I've seen so far. It's basically a site about a bunch of nothing. It's just a bunch of random stuff you keep clicking on that goes nowhere. Weird!...I like it.

License plate frame of the day: "You suck and that's sad"

Playing Nasty


After a very ugly game, a record number of yellow cards, 4 red cars, and several hurt players, Holland finally lost to Portugal (0-1) and is out of the World Cup.
Dude, what happened to their orange jerseys? Ok their new white shirts with the red and blue stripes are nice but the orange ones were much better!
I did like those orange shoes Robben was wearing though. They were pretty sweet!

Shooting


Today I shot my first firearm. It was a bit scary at first but with great coaching from Joel, Thomas, Marco, and Allan, I was able to get through my first shot. After trying out a rifle I was able to move on to a handgun. I'm actually looking forward to another shooting trip in the future so that I can try some of the bigger stuff.

Other things that happened:

- Worked a henna party with Linda at the Hilton in Woodland Hills.
- Watched Monster-In-Law (pretty good movie) and,
- Got food poisoning from Denny's in Northridge.

RETARDED


LoL! This one's for Susana & Amanda.
And the word of the day is...

Thursday Traffic


This is the last thing you want to see driving home on the 405 Fwy on a Thursday afternoon! A helicopter over the 405 usually means I can count on adding at least an extra half hour to my commute. *Sigh*

Smuck-Smuck & Blue Mousie


Cat pic of the day:
Here's Smuck-Smuck with her favorite toy.

Study Equipment


The best part about running studies is getting the opportunity to play around with all types of equipment. This month I'm getting familiar with the occlusion goggles, and last month Jess was trying to figure out that pesky eye tracker.

Other things worth mentioning:

1. Congratulations to Stephanie and her boyfriend who just got engaged this weekend. Yay!
2. Good luck to Shabnam who will be spending two months in France attending a very interesting program. I'm sure she's going to have a wonderful time! And,
3. Congratulations to Miriam and her husband who are expecting their first child later this year!

We said goodbye to Vegas, NV and headed back to the Cali. I had a wonderful trip and can't wait until the next Moss Adams event! A special thanks to Rose for bringing me along with her and to Moss Adams for hooking me up!

Lady Luck came to the Rescue….Sort of!


I decided to gamble a little and lost $7 in the penny slots. Waa...but my luck quickly changed once I got to the company party where I won $100 playing Hi-Low and $60 playing darts! Woo Hoo!!! I walked away with $160! Good timing too, 'cause as soon as I got back to my hotel room my laptop hard drive crashed. Waa...again!

Other things that happened today:

Pablo made many new friends.
Rose and I visited several casinos, checked out the Titanic Artifact Exhibition at the Tropicana, and checked out the lions at the MGM grand.

What happens in Vegas…


Pablo, Rose, and I arrived in Vegas today for Moss Adams' company party. We shopped at the local outlet malls and then went out on the town. Let's just say Pablo made plenty of friends.

New PowerShot


Today I got my new camera, Yay! This week Marco talked me into buying a Canon PowerShot A620 which is an upgraded model of the one I currently have. Talk about good timing! Tomorrow I leave for Vegas so I'll be testing out my new camera all weekend.
Here's a random pic I took of Lily while she watched Marco dangle her favorite toy.

Meca Leca High, Meca Hiney Ho


Yay, Pee-Wee's Playhouse is coming back on TV! Yeah-Yeah, I was a total fan when I was younger and I wouldn't mind watching it again, especially after that Family Guy episode where Peter Griffin uses his reparations money to convert his garage into a Pee-Wee's Playhouse replica. LoL! Anyway, for those of you who are interested, the show will be on starting July 10th on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim at 11pm.

6-6-6 @ Wendy's


It looks like we survived 666...barely that is! A few of us went to Wendy's for lunch and almost got into a car accident thanks to the retarded manager who had his employees take Drive Thru orders at the entrance of the driveway. The genius was using the right side of the driveway as a regular entrance and as a Drive Thru ordering line. At the same time the left side of the same driveway was being used as the exit and Drive Thru delivery area. How retarded is that?! When we complained to the manager and threatened to call corporate, the moron just thanked us and continued "directing" traffic. What a piece of work!

Blind Baby Fund Charity Picnic


My brother and I worked a Charity Picnic today for the Blind Baby Fund. Although we were swamped with work and we ended up staying a bit longer than expected, it felt good to give something back to the community.

Other things that happened today:

- I watched Young Frankenstein for the first time and absolutely loved it! Now I understand why Jason quoted this line when I told him my last name was pronounced Bokker instead of Baker even though it was spelled Bakker. LoL!

- Joel turned 30 today. Happy Birthday Joel! Sorry I couldn't make it to your beach party.

Other awesome lines from Young Frankentein:
I am Frau Bluher! iiihhhhhhhh
Auuuuuhh! Werewolf! There! What?? There wolf, there castle!

Ghetto Fry's


I visited the new Fry's Electronics in Oxnard today with Marco. My first impression of the place was: "Nice!"... Unfortunately that quickly changed.

1. My first negative thought of the place came when we walked up to the Customer Service counter. I got confused and wasn't sure where to stand since all counters had computers on both sides of the small desks. It just wasn't clearly marked where the customer stands and where the employee stands.

2. Then once on the main floor of the store, a million lights shone down on the place making it brighter than staring directly into the sun! It was so bright; I had to wear my sunglasses 'cause I got a headache in the first few minutes I was there.

3. Lastly, we decided to get a quick bite to eat at the fancy little bistro located inside the store and were driven away by the foul language we heard from the employees. A group of young employees were standing around laughing and messing around when the word "Bitch" echoed throughout the entire place. Now that's just straight out ghetto-ness!

Needless to say, even though the place tries to look fancy and high class, I found it to be extremely ghetto and poorly designed!
