DRIVE TO K. NOEL'S FOR DINNER

Since Karina wasn't getting home till later this evening, we decided to head over to K. Noel's house for dinner instead of them coming over here. But in the morning, I went over to SuperH to buy some short ribs that Kylie likes so much. The end cuts were on sale for just $1.99 per pound so I snatched up four packages of them. I soaked them in water to get rid of the blood as the instructions on the marinade said, then immersed them in the marinade. I wonder if it will make a difference?

We brought some bananas fried in wonton wrapper and watermelon to the party as well as some fried dillis (these little fish). It was a good dinner and I am trying to eat less rice and more protein these days so I was left pretty satisfied. The rest of the evening was spent hanging out with the kids playing ping-pong and being on the iPad.

It was hot today and for some reason, it felt really hot outside compared to inside of K. Noel's house. I'm not sure if it was because it was cool inside K. Noel's or if it was just hot as hell out there in Corona.

SATURDAY SLEEP-IN

Moms ended up going to bingo at San Man, while I ended up on the couch napping and basically doing nothing all day. I wanted to workout and do my P90x, but after waking up so late, I decided I really wasn't up for it. So I just ate dinner and watched more tv and I did some general snacking. Yeah, it was that kind of day. Sheesh!

RIZZOLI AND ISLES #2

I was booked as a crime scene response unit (CSRU) and a civilian. The first scene we shot was with Bill O'Reilly who visits the cops at the station. We just did a bunch of crosses then were put in holding inside stage 4 for awhile.

That allowed me to nap a little, but I wasn't all that sleepy. So I did some reading and then got up to walk around a little. After lunch, we were asked to change into the CSRU uniform. We were sent as the b-unit and we were to investigate a car that was placed at the scene of the crime. The technical adviser was a former detective, and he was initially going to have me pick up the gun to show to the detectives upstairs who were questioning the suspect.

But he changed his mind and had a uniformed cop do it instead. I was kind of bummed, but at the same time, I felt like the scene would probably be more realistic that way. It would have been cool though to get that shot.

Afterward, I drove home, changed, then headed over to Jansen's to kick it. We watched Limitless and then headed out to pick up some sugar from Tyler. When we came back, we watched Sucker Punch which wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. Well, that's coming from a comic book fan who likes hot chicks dressed in sexy clothing, so what do you expect? I got home pretty late and slept pretty late, like 4AM.

WE HAVE YOUR HUSBAND

I was cast as an AFI agent which is supposed to be the FBI for Mexico. Unfortunately, it was hot as hell in downtown LA for the first scene because we were shooting inside a pretty authentic Mexican restaurant. There was no changing room except the bathroom in the restaurant. The cool thing was that we got to see what a running restaurant looks like in the back. The bad thing was that we had to change in a fucking bathroom!

I basically sweated profusely all day, hotter than hell and never very comfortable. We ended up leaving the internet cafe restaurant for another location downtown inside some lofts that are above some cheap stores that sold mostly clothes and toys. It felt like a swap meet but inside an old building.

After waiting around for what seemed like an hour or two, we were finally wrapped. Since I was downtown, I hit Ash up to see if she wanted to kick it. She did, but I didn't stay long and we had some good conversation about relationships, jobs, weed and exercise.

RENEWAL

After lunch I headed over to BeeJay's to get our renewal. But first we spent some time on his HP laptop that was always shutting down without any real explanation. Malwarebytes didn't find any malware, so I suspected it had to do with either the machine heating up too much or that the operating system was corrupted somehow. I recommended he re-install Vista on it or get Windows 7 put on it.

Our Pinay doctor wasn't in today and I saw a Dr. Hearns instead. Stupid BJ forgot his ID so I was the only one that actually got the renewal. But for $25 it was a great deal. The meeting with the doc didn't take long and I was out in less than 20 minutes.

Then we spent a little more time on the pc before he had to go pick up the kids from art class. I left at the same time and got caught in a little rush hour traffic. Kylie wanted me to go to her Grammy's for dinner, but I told her I had too many things to do. It was a white lie at first, but it actually ended up being real.

I was doing my P90x workout when I got a text that I got booked tomorrow with car. So I washed it because it's been dirty for so long and I had not time to finish the workout. I also had to get the food warmed-up for dinner and I didn't get a chance to deposit the check that State Farm finally sent for loss of rent.

After dinner, I went to Ralphs to get some milk and I also got gas for both cars. I also picked up The Devil's Candy, the third time I have had to borrow the damn book because I can't seem to finish it. It's a decent read, but it's definitely not a page turner.

SHAMELESS

I took Kylie to her Grammies before going to Warner Bros. I got there at just the right time and it turned out Central messed up and should have kept the call time at 6:15a instead of 6:45a. After shooting a quick scene, I got a chance to take a nice nap tom catch up on my sleep.

I ate lunch at the commissary since it was a walkaway. Unfortunately, the museum was closed right when I was broken for lunch. The only real interesting thing that happened were the three hot chicks that showed up for a scene. We were all dressed as construction workers hoping to do a scene with them, but we didn't. We actually ended up on a real construction site on the lot and did a little work. It was hot and I realized what a bitch it must be to do construction.

We were wrapped right around 6p so there was a lot of traffic going home.

KNOTT'S BABY!

Kylie and I were still pretty sleepy when we got up, but we did and got ready for Knotts. We ate an egg and some rice then bought some generic Dramamine. We got to knotts a little late but Janet was even later. But we all got in for just 25 dollars so we weren't arguing.

We pretty much rode everything we wanted to. I always freak out when riding Supreme Scream but for some reason, it wasn't that bad today. What was worse was riding Xcelerator with it's super speed. The picture it took was not so good because it looked like I was taking a mean shit.

It was fun hanging with Janet and her little niece Lily. Lily is very brave for her age because she rode everything and she's only in fifth grade!

We got back about 11p and I tried to get to bed as early as possible to feel ok about working tomorrow on Shameless.

JUDE'S FIRST BIRTHDAY

Moms and I finally headed out to Brea after picking up some pancit for Jude's birthday party. The party was at a pool that was reserved for everyone in the family. On one side was Tam's family and on the other was our family. Then Jansen's friends started coming so it was fun to see everyone hanging out.

We did some swimming but the funnest and funniest part was the diving board. Shayne, Jared and I started doing some dives and Jared and I were cracking people up because we were so bad at it. I did a lot of belly flops while Jared did some J dives which is going feet first while the upper body was shaped for a head-first dive. It was hilarious. The weird thing is that you think you are diving ok but when you see it on video, it looks terrible.

After eating, the party started winding down and moms and I just went home.

ELI'S SEVENTH BIRTHDAY

I wasn't really planning on going to this party, but moms wanted to go and K. Noel and fam were going, so I figured it would be best to go.

The party was at a park in Cerritos underneath a huge shaded area. As usual, there was tons of food and a lot of Granflors were actually there. It's always fun to see everyone and thank goodness it wasn't really hot. It was the sun that made things a killer.

We just basically ate and hung out and watched the kids play with water balloons and do a little obstacle course. The theme was army so BeeJay's kids and the family were all dressed in camouflage gear.

Pretty soon, it got late and it was time to head home. We all said, "see you tomorrow" since Jude's party is tomorrow.

JUST ANOTHER DAY WATCHING TV

I think I'm really a bum. I mean, sure, I keep myself busy, but damn, I could do better. After lunch, I watched Exit Through the Giftshop and now I'm a fan of street art. I liked the movie a lot and began to wonder if I could start putting art around town. What if I got caught? How does Banksy not get caught?

Then I returned some library books by bike then did the p90x yoga but only for about 30 minutes. I didn't feel like pushing myself because I just wasn't feeling it. Also, I figured that I really wouldn't be seeing much results since I'll only be doing it for another three weeks before I start training for the half marathon.

I looked into whether I should put some money into bodog and decided that I probably wouldn't ever get the money back. That is, I don't think I'll ever be able to withdraw it. But what's fifty bucks? I've spent more than that on many things, but I guess I feel a little cash strapped these days and am on zero spending right now.

I watched Paranormal Activity finally. It was ok, but definitely pretty suspenseful.

BACK TO P360X

I got my EDD check so that's starting again. I was a little worried that it would be delayed because of the vacation to K. Paul's. I had returned the claim a little late, but maybe they were ok with the delay because of July 4th.

I also packaged the stupid Western Digital server. I lost all the pictures that were taken from T. Tacing's wedding anniversary. I should probably buy a big portable drive to use as a backup or some kind of flash drive before they get put on the server.

It was hot today and when I rode back on the bike, I took a little break before doing the P90x shoulders and arms exercise. I didn't do all of it, but it was still pretty tough since the garage was hot too. But it felt pretty good to do the work and I even did some of the ab ripper exercises.

K. Noel and the kids came by since Jared was playing in a little tournament nearby. We walked to the Vietnamese restaurant and had dinner there. Then they left shortly after since they had to wake up early tomorrow.

All moms and I did after was watch a little tv.

FIRST RUN IN WHAT SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME

I've been trying to catch up with all my WSOP recordings since they are now so long. They've been playing them as live events with a 30 minute delay, so it's a new format. I'm not sure it's working very well because there isn't a lot of action and the suspense isn't present. Plus, they don't show hole cards when there's no flop. This needs to be changed somehow, so I think a three hour delay or something like that would make sense. Or, they could shoot live with hole cards present and play it a day later or something like that.

I ran 1.5 miles today. I could easily have run more, but I've been feeling very fat lately and I don't want to push myself to the point where I don't want to workout anymore. I'm not sure what's happened other than going on that vacation. I don't feel motivated and maybe it's just burnout from P360X.

MEAT DINNER FOR KIDS AND K. NOEL/AMANDA

I woke up without any feelings of illness and I was glad I didn't drink any more last night. After lunch, moms and I watched the women's World Cup between the US and Japan. I made some freesportsbet bets on the US believing they could not lose since they have never lost to Japan ever in their history. Sure enough, Japan came back twice to win. I swear, I've never been in such a slump with my betting, but just like poker, I guess it just comes in crazy waves.

K. Noel and fams came through pretty late in the afternoon. After some gin with Kylie, I washed moms car and then helped moms with a little cooking. Throughout the afternoon, I cooked some spare ribs covered with foil at 280 for a few hours, then finished it off at 300 for the last hour uncovered. I like this method because it really gives it nice color and I think the next time I try it, I won't even bother to raise the temperature. 280 seems good enough because it was falling off the bone, though the smaller pieces were a little burnt since they didn't have a lot of meat on them.

After dinner and after they all left, I just showered and watched Netflix through early morning.

AMBIENTE PARTY FOR DANNY

Ate Ella set-up a party for Danny at Ambiente, the Alhambra nightclub that I used to go to a long time ago. It was weird thinking about the old days when I used to party with Rockford's old crew out here. I guess I think about it because I still feel kind of bad just dropping him and Jarvis' friendship, but I suppose it was for the best because they weren't that great of an influence.

Anyway, I felt like crap all day because of all that drinking last night. I was just barely hung over, feeling a little nauseous. I was also shittin' and fartin' all day, probably a little diarrhea. So it was pretty tough for me to get up and out, and by the time I took a shower and left, I was running a tad bit late.

I was supposed to be there before 10PM and worried that I might have to pay the cover. But it was all good and I got in without any stress. Ate Ella was set-up right in the front of the club on a little VIP stage. There were two couches, so I immediately chilled on one of them. Danny, Ate Beng, Kuya Francis, Ate Sheila and eventually Rachelle with her new surfer buddy all came through.

I still felt like crap and just didn't have any motivation to dance or talk to any of the bitches. Like Danny said, hey man, the gorditas are better than nothing. I love that line! It seemed like I was just a couch potato with no interest in the bitches, but I kept telling everyone I drank way too much last night. Of course, I got the impression that they thought I was just a little bitch especially since I rolled solo.

Around 1:15A I decided to finally bail since there wasn't really a lot of action going on. There really weren't any bitches alone in the club. I saw maybe two at the most that I wanted to talk to but not enough to actually make me do it.

GOODBYE DJ PAUL OR WHATEVER YOUR NAME WAS

When my car was making one of those crazy screeching sounds last night, I thought I needed some brakes. I made some calls and somehow found a guy named Dave in Walnut to do them. I turns out it wasn't the brakes but that the rotors were warped. That's why everytime I would brake hard when I was going fast, it would shudder pretty badly. The brake pads were fine at about 75% and I suppose I could have just skipped on the work. But I was tired of braking carefully and just had them do it for $178. I liked the work a lot and will probably keep going to this guy.

After dinner, it was time to head out to Corona to go out with Kimi and her friends. Robyn was there and so was Viviana, a 50+ Latina with a smokin' body. Later, some of her work friends showed up and they were pretty tame.

After a few shots of brandy and some drinks of vodka and mixer, we went to the bar that's pretty close by in Los Lagos. Kim's friend the DJ was spinning there and it was his late night. People showed up and it was cool because the dance floor was outside. The last time I was here, it was inside and small and it got hot. This time, the dance floor was outside and it was nice and cool all night long.

I wish I would have talked to the blond Latina I danced with for a little bit, but I got too drunk and I'm not sure what happened. I probably started dancing with other chicks or the group I rolled in with. Ate Ella and Danny came too so it was cool seeing them.

Pretty soon, the drinks added up and I was pretty trashed. When we got home, I remember talking to Viviana and felt her up a little, but before I knew it, I was in bed knocked the fuck out.

HOUSE OF LIES

It sounds like a drama, but according to imdb, the show is a comedy. My call time was pushed back to 1130am so I decided to give myself two hours to get to Sony studios. I'm glad I did because i had to take a mean dump before checking in. I noticed some restrooms on the way to base camp, but I realized there were more discreet restrooms on another side of the lot. I'll have to remember that.

But I kind of freaked out on the way to the studios because a very loud, screeching sound began to come out of my car. I think it's the break pads trying to tell me it's time to get them replaced, but the sound didn't stop or pause when I braked. So I suspected it might be the struts which need to be replaced too.

I got a chance to nap when we checked in since the scene wasn't ready for us. I was booked as a TSA agent but for some reason, we were all Asian. I thought we'd be used during some kind of baggage check-in scene but instead, we were just told to walk down the hall along with the rest of the passengers and airport people.

Lunch was a walkaway, so I struck up a friendship with Max Lee, a Korean guy who has been doing background since 2003. He told me he switched from joeyslist to extras since he wasn't getting much work from joeys. Maybe I should switch too? We ended up talking about history and wars and all the different leaders who led their armies to battle. He seemed to know a lot about war and I wondered if he was just a student of history or if he was just a war geek.

On my drive home, the screeching from my car went away. I think it was the brakes because that's the same thing that happened once when I needed my brakes done. The screeching went away and I lagged and got down to the metal on my pad. I think I'll try to get them done tomorrow.

SWEET TALKING CUSTOMER SERVICE

I returned the car this morning and didn't bother to check all the nooks and crannies to make sure there wasn't anything left. It turned out moms had left her sun glasses inside so I had to go back to retrieve them in the afternoon. I deposited my check for Think Like a Man, and looked at the receipt from Enterprise and couldn't figure out why it was high. So I called them when I got back and asked and it turned out they charged me for coverage. I declined the coverage so they had to credit it back. That's customer service issue #1 resolved.

I also had to figure out why I couldn't log into the CalJobs website. It turns out something is wrong with it so I was given my log-in and password over the phone. I had to create a resume on the site just so I would continue to receive unemployment insurance. Otherwise, there was a possibility my claim could be affected. I think it's just a scare tactic, but who knows?

Moms put out some processed boneless chicken shaped like wings for lunch. Kylie and I ate it, but Karina was picky and didn't like the spongy texture. So she didn't eat. It's things like this that bug me, but what can I do? She is who she is.

Then I called State Farm to request the loss of rent claim. Demion no longer handled my account and it was back to Bess Ng. So I left her a message about that. She called back later in the afternoon to say she would approve the claim and that a check was being mailed today. that's customer service issue #2 resolved.

I also called Sprint to see if I could get them to waive the overage fees this past month. We were over by $178 so I asked what they were. It turns out all the calls and texts I sent during the Pomona duplex flooding pushed us way over. The first customer service agent I was connected to was the Philippines. She said she could only do 40% but I asked if she could do more. But then we got disconnected.

So I tried calling again to see if I could get an American agent. My experience with them is that they usually waived the overage when I asked. But this agent would only do 30% even though I got 40% from the Filipino. After a long wait, she said she could do 40% after all.

But then the Filipino called back while I was put on hold by the American agent. I told her she approved 40% but that was it. The Filipino agent said she was successful with escalating the call and could waive all overage fees as long as we went to the $99 plan that gives us unlimited text on both phones and 1500 total minutes. I swear, they are pretty damn good at squeezing out more and more money each month. But that was customer service issue #3 resolved.

All in all, a pretty satisfying day. I also cooked some dinner by slow cooking some neck bones at about 280 degrees for about two hours. I covered it with foil and basted it from time to time to try to keep it moist. Near the end, I increased the temperature to 350 and put on the final basting. It caramelized nicely but it wasn't as flavorful as I hoped it would be. The Mama Sita's bbq is too watered down to achieve the kind of flavor I want. I'll need to work on my own.

IT'S OFFICIAL, IM A FAT-ASS

After lunch at my bros, we finally left around 1pm for the drive home. Nothing really remarkable happened on the way home so here are just some rulings that came to me.

Rachelle told me about his guy friend who has dry lips. Is it okay to tell him his lips are dry, she asks. I'm surprised by this question because it's so obvious to me that she should tell him he needs to use lip balm. Why is that so difficult to understand? And at this age, why is she worried about his reaction?

Buying snacks at the gas station is a rip off if you stop by a gas station that has expensive gas. Buying a drink for more than a dollar is a rip when you can buy 44 ounces for 99 cents.

Karina is very annoying. I feel like I already knew this but somehow forgot. She is immature and acts like she doesn't know how to do anything. She is also crazy about playing music during long rides.

When we got home, I weighed myself to see if I gained weight. I was shocked to see that I topped 170 pounds! I've never weighed so much in my life! No wonder my stomach is so big. It's time to get back in shape.

ROCKET LAUNCH

I woke up a lil sore in the neck due to the tubing last night. But it wasn't that bad thankfully. I came down to eat leftover lunch and spent a little time on the computer trying to edit the video. But I couldn't because of the computer issues I was having. I'm not sure what's wrong with the pc but it might have been windows 7 that was causing a lot of delays. At one point I had to restart multiple times so I eventually decided to let the pc just catchup to loading whatever it needed to load.

By the time the afternoon rolled along, I took the kids to pickup some rocket engines for the launch. We stopped by hobbietown, then headed to 7-eleven to get our free slurpy. There was a short line but not that bad. Then we headed back to relax a little.

Soon it was time for launch but Kylie and Karina couldn't go since they were having dinner with Kenny, Katie and Mike. So moms and k. Paul's kids and I went to their school to fire off the rocket. Everything went well, but I should have purchased more wadding paper so we could fire off more launches.

We got home and got ready for dinner at ihop. We got back and did some jump rope with the kids and then started electronic monopoly that kyle got from his friend Jake. As usual, the game took too long, but lia and I grinder it out to the end and I came up on top.

BOWLING IN ROCKLIN

After dropping moms off at the Thunder Valley casino, we all went bowling. It was fun bowling in Rocklin, and I was amazed at how we were the only non-white people in the alley. I guess I kind of felt what black people might feel when they're the only black people in a town of white-ties but probably much less severe. K. Paul got the highest score even though I was really trying. I guess I can't do much when I don't have my ball.

Then we picked moms up and went to BJ's for dinner. I had a full-sized Caesar salad and once I got it, I knew I should have just gotten the half-salad. Oh well, I ate it all anyway plus everyone's leftovers.

OFF TO VISIT K. PAUL AND FAM

I picked the rental up in the morning and then drove to k. Noel's house to pick the girls up. Since Jared had a tourney coming up, he decided to skip the visit and practice instead. Karin a got shotgun and I began to understand what her siblings mean when they talk about her being so immature. She is a big whiner and acts like the world is her oyster. She must have her music playing and practically dies when I want to hear something else.

We got caught in a little traffic in sac but we made it to k. Paul's in time for dinner. Lia was probably happiest to see us since her favorite cousins were there to hang out with her. We had dinner at the house and relaxed in the evening.

THINK LIKE A MAN

I was booked as a waiter for this movie that shot at LA Live. It was a little tough finding where base camp was, but I finally found my way after seeing a PA direct some people.

After everyone checked in with wardrobe, we were moved upstairs to a large convention room right next to where the scene was going to be shot. It's a black movie because the director is black and all the stars are black. In the scene, the black guy in the movie is a waiter who sees his girl making some kind of speech for Ebony magazine and tries to duck out so she doesn't see him. But when he does, all kinds of dishes go flying and he is caught.

It was pretty cool to see the stunt and the fake dishes, but it was a pain having to carry all the plates as a waiter. I got my shoulder workout in, that's for sure.

Oddly, lunch was not provided even though we were shooting on location. Everyone kind of wondered how this could be since no one ever experienced this. Everything was expensive, so I took off to see if I could find some cheap eats. Luckily, a taco truck had just set-up right across the street so I bought myself a $5 burrito which was pretty damn good.

Then I changed into a suit and we shot another scene where the two lovers were talking in a bar/lounge. After this scene, we were wrapped and the good news was that there wasn't a lot of traffic back home since it was around 7:30PM by the time we rolled out.

THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE RIVER

We packed up and headed further east to go to a gas station in Arizona since gas was cheaper. It's a fun feeling to go to another state because you always feel like you're going someplace new even though it's just a few miles from where you were.

I drove home all the way to Kimi's and at one point I wanted to let Jared take over because I was so sleepy. But I made it without any issues and didn't stay long at Kimi's to finally head back home to DB.

So Cal is so different from the river. River life is just so much quieter and it's like a little vacation that's so close by. But home is also relaxing in its own way. You've got your own little paradise where you can kick it any way you want.

CARDBOARD BOAT RACE

Sean and Heather set-up a boat race where you take sheets of cardboard and make boats out of them. We'd done a little research, but it turns out the guys who set it up had really planned it out and knew exactly how to make the boat.

We decided to go with a flatter design and tape the bottom of the boat up. Our big flaw was that there was no lateral support and when Jared got in it, it basically folded up right in the middle. He made it about half-way but then finally sunk because too much water got into the boat.

Still, it was a really fun day and Austin and I got to admire one of the hot chicks who was married but was incredible. Great body, great face and probably awesome personality.

We tried to go out again that evening, but nothing was happening and everything was super dead. But at least we got to drink inside and had fun listening to music and dancing.

BACK TO THE RIVER

I don't know how long it's been since I've been to the river, but it seems like a long time. I got to kimi's at 6am which is the time I was supposed to get there. It was he'll since I didnt have a lot of sleep. My strategy was to sleep on the way there. It was tough going at first, but I put some blinders on and actually got a good nap. Before I knew it, we were there.

The river was high and the current was strong. After a little sunbathing, I went back in because it was really hot outside. I took a long nap to catch up on my sleep and felt well rested. Jared needed some shorts so we went to Aha quin where a general store and bar is located.

For dinner, Sean and Heather threw a fish fry. They had mostly herring but they also had some salmon that they battered and threw into a professional fryer. They also made some fries, but they needed to fry them a second time to achieve the crispiness that is most desired. Since they were cooking, I didn't really want to say anything. There was an amazing salad and I just wanted to keep eating, but I really had to try very hard not to gorge.

Soon, it was evening and Jared and Austin wanted to do something. We headed out back to aha quin to see if there was anything going on. But there wasn't, it was deader than a door nail. So we decided to head out north to waterwheel where we saw some lights in the darkness. We parked the van where the office was, and headed our on foot. Everyone else was driving around in their golf carts so I started to stress since I began thinking people would know we weren't really from around there.

But this is the river and things move very differently around here. Besides, not everyone knows everyone so no one really had any idea we were from down river. We saw some girls playing beer pong when we first scoped the place out, but we couldn't figure out how old they were.

While walking and exploring for a piece, we saw some dude with a super led flashlight. So I asked him and he said he was going to ask us the same thing. Luckily, his moms had some paper and we were able to make a little salad. He took us on his golf cart to the beach where there were people just kicking back. Apparently, this was the spot that people went to chill. After blowing some trees, we called it a night since it was getting pretty late. We told our new friend Eddie that we'd look for him tomorrow.

LAST MINUTE PARTY DOWNTOWN

I was planning to spend the night at Kimi's, but after running two miles using the forefoot method, I had some kind of energy. It must be the runner's high because I was ready to go out and party.

Jansen said they were going out to a party downtown so I drove to his place to carpool. Tam decided to go since she didn't get to go out much. When we got there, it was dead and we had a bad feeling the party would not be as cool as we hoped. Still, we decided to pay $5 to save money and we went right back out to wait for the rest of the party.

Tyler and Allison came along as well as James and Tanya. Then, Tam's friends came later and they had some beers we took advantage of. We partied inside the warehouse which was on the third floor, but it really wasn't much of a party. The DJ kind of sucked and we never even got to see Giang spin.

So we hung around till around 2:30AM and I didn't get to sleep till about 3:30AM. I know I have to be at Kimi's at 6AM so it's going to be hell to pay.
