This is where the hungry come to feed. For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven't tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it.

excuse me miss..


"..but do you have another form of id? no rly."

it's unfortunate that the line above will be something i remember from my 27th birthday. but seriously i need to not let it get to me any more than it already has. time to get over it.


moving on, saturday was my birthday and i was surrounding by my OMGBFFs and a few other good friends/coworkers. dinner was at REEF, and well afterwards, you can read dru's blog for the details there.
anyways i had a great time being with my friends, as gatherings like these are always a great reminder of how awesome your friends are... and well my friends are the awesomest.

oh and i got 10 bottles of soju/sake for my birthday.... i guess to go with all my kdrama watching.

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!
