Still Sick.

The title says it all. With all the stuff I'm taking to try and get better, I feel like a walking medicine cabinet. Please pray that I get better soon!

24/7 Memorial Day BBQ.

Since none of us had to work today, our small group met up in Alex's apartment by the ballpark for a huge barbeque. 1/2 lbs burgers, 6 oz steaks, hot dogs, and NINE gallons of homemade sweet tea by yours truly and Steve Chen made this a memorable 9 hour BBQ. Good times.


Jen Han, also known as "NOOOOO!!" (To my NC peeps, she's Judy Pham's best friend. Small world, huh?)

Tea: How a Pro Does It!

While making the nine gallons of sweet tea for tomorrow's barbeque, Ben "The Stonecutter" Chen decided to whip up some cinnamon-lemon tea for all of us. Since I've been coughing for the past week, it really hit the spot. Ben, one of the owners of The Public (a local restaurant), went into the kitchen and was making this concoction in a skillet! I've never seen tea made like this before, so I had to take a picture.

Rona's Birthday

Today was Rona's birthday and we celebrated in grand style at Ben Chen's loft in Potrero Hill. A whole bunch of us got together for dinner, and we got to just chill and spend some time catching up with each other. (Rona is the girl with the "I [heart] Mom" shirt)

I was initially taking a picture of just the ladies, when the fellas all decided to act a fool in the background. :)

Paris, Je t'aime.

18 short films directed by 18 world-famous directors about 18 different arrondissements (districts) in Paris. This two hour film made me fall in love with Paris all over again and made me want to go back. While two or three of the stories were not as memorable in my opinion, I thoroughly enjoyed this film and would recommend it to those who would love to take a two hour break and travel to one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

A Night With Chung.

Tonight, Chung (one of the brothers from our small group) performed at a local coffeeshop during open mic. He was by far the most talented and polished performer, and it was great to see him in his element, performing his own songs in front of a crowd that consisted of mostly friends.

Nights like this really make me realize how uniquely talented and gifted God blesses each and every one of us and of how talented the members of my own small group are. Among us we have musicians, designers, animators, dancers, poets, and comedians. I'm guessing it's this uniqueness that allows us to have such good times and memories when we're all together.

Good job tonight, Chung.

Jam Session.

We had a jam session at Chung's house. It was interesting. I've been trying to play my guitar more often, but it's just too hard to find the time. I've been realizing that there's so much I want to do, I wish there were more hours in a day to get them all done. But then again, with more hours, I'd probably just sleep more! :P
