accomplished, yet broken.

Well I completed the 13.1 mile (21k) 1/2 marathon, thanks to a lot of hard work! Thanks to all my friends and family that came out to support!! It really meant a lot to see ya'll cheering us on!!


[update] not as broken today! oh and the vid above is from my dad's camera, and the one below is the finish line. (you can see me and P sprinting on the left at around the 16second mark.)

this vid is up for a limited time. if you value your hearing.. don't press play.

gone

holidays over :(

well the holidays have came and gone, and so has 2007. did the usual, with christmas eve mass and dinner at the parents, then had christmas day dinner at my house. mass was interesting, because we ended up at the Life Teen christmas mass.. so all the music was 'different'. they band/choir opened with a the lyrics of the little drummer boy to the music of kashmir by led zeppelin (you know.. P.Diddy also used the track for Come with me from Godzilla). it was quite bizarre actually. dad made a plethora of good foods as usual, including picking up some fresh uni. i went somewhat traditional and made stuffed cornish game hens for christmas day.


for new years eve (aka our anniversary) we went to da marco for an exquisite dinner, which included truffles... (not the chocolate) then stopped by to hang out with roz+d before heading home to catch the countdown on tv. 2007 was a pretty good year, here's hoping for an even better 2008!

et's wedding

on 12.29 we went to eric's wedding... and took a few photos... and a lot of 'selfportraits'

it's my parteee........

saturday night i hosted our annual christmas party for our group of friends aka omgbff. i pretty much started prepping for the party from the moment i woke up at 9am up until the party in which the first guests began to arrive shortly after 7:30. but had started making gifts for everyone the week before thanksgiving, so i had been looking forward to the party for sometime now. the hor'derve menu consisted of: smoked salmon tartare filled cucumber cups, escargot stuffed mushroom caps herbed garlic butter, roasted red pepper hummus, beef meatballs with a pineapple dipping sauce, herbed goat cheese balls on toast points, 'firecrackers' and cheeses. guests also brought a plethora of good foods for everyone to nosh on. oh and of course we had plenty of wine to drink.

i only took a few photos.. so expect more when dru gets around to it.

company parteeeee.

friday night was my company christmas party at dave&busters (in the former Jillian's locale). i had low expections, but i was more excited than usual since i actually knew a few more coworkers this year. it ended up being open bar and we actually stayed until 11pm though my low expectations for the food were met.

a few games were played, a few glasses of wine were drunk, and a few self-portraits were taken.





oh and 2 weeks ago i had planned a company flag football game.. it was quite the success. we'll be playing again in january. and as a whole everyone at our company looks approximately 10 years younger than their real age.

one of these things is not like the other

the other day i was having problems finding renji. now you know why.
