I AM SOOOOOOO TIRED from the weekend. Man... I am getting way too old to be going out and staying up at all hours of the night. I think that I have some kind of disease or something. I seriously will just fall asleep wherever whenever I'm tired.

THREE PLUS in Concert!
The night started off at Devin's restaurant. Ocean Blue Sushi Club on El Camino. It's not much of a club it really just a restaurant with nice decorations and fancy toilets. Anyways, Devin promised promised promised me that if we went there then we would get a free bottle of Sake. The big bottles. There ended up being about 12 of us and Devin's restaurant LIED. In order to get the free bottle we needed to buy two bottles to get the 3rd one free. Okay... way to lie to your business. I think its going to take a little more to get us to come next time. The food was good.. You know the normal Korean Sushi and Sashimi. Actually the sashimi is really good. We got a $50 and I think Travis, Mark and I ate up all the Uni. YUM!
Moving onto the concert. So I didn't think the concert was going to be HUGE since it was at a club that was located in a strip mall on Lawrence Expressway. I was smart and got my tickets a week in advanced online through sunjose.com. I was also a very nice gf and got tickets for not only Darren but also his brother, brothers friend and two cousins. Not only am I a nice gf but I'm also a nice sister and friend b/c I got tickets for Michelle and Ray also. So while we were eating at Ocean Blue, Devin gets a call from Reid that all the tickets were SOLD OUT!! So now I'm thinking I'm really smart for getting my tickets early. We get there while the opening band was playing. Run and get drinks then move up to right in front of the stage where Reid was standing. Pretty much once we got there we didn't move. The second band, Aloha Brewed was REALLY good. Michelle pretty much loved whoever was standing right in front of her and had to take a picture with each of them. The night was filled with LOTs of dancing and Lots of singing. Three Plus came out and everyone was singing, dancing and sweating hahahaha... It was definitely a fun night and I think everyone really enjoyed themselves. Actually I know they did. They ended up playing until about 1:30am. I'm not going to lie. I started to become REALLY tired near the end. I started to put my head on Darren's shoulders and would close my eyes and sway to the music. I really need to work on that. Needless to say as SOON as we got home I fell asleep on the chair. I think it took me a good 1.5 seconds to fall into a deep sleep.

Tysons 1st Birthday Party
So Darren's Nephew has turned 1 and the family planned a birthday party at the house. If I were to guess how many people were there I would say 60. So Saturday I woke up pretty early to set up decorations and help wherever I could. I'm not going to lie I was a little hungover. The nice thing is that Darren's Mom does NOT stress out at all for parties. Its probably the complete opposite of my mother. I wanted to help more and I thought there was a lot of things to do but there wasn't. Which was actually really good b/c I was hungover. The party was great, the weather was great and having a pool is great. I went swimming for a little bit but again I got really tired. There were times I would sit there in my chair and just close my eyes for a few seconds to make myself feel better. Finally I just said whatever, and went to bed. I think I slept for a good 2.5 hours. I don't know whats wrong with me. Because later that night around 9 I fell asleep again and then slept for another like 12 hours.
Sunday June 29, 2008
AHHH REFRESHED!!! I felt so much better on Sunday. Totally more awake. Darren and I started off by visiting his Auntie Di who couldn't make it to the party. We then went to play basketball. OKAY I always complain about how I want to play more ball and how I never get to and blah blah blah.. So we go play with Darren's team. Who are like big white dudes. 1. I'm like a girl 2. It was FREAKIN' Hot. So I played two games left to get gatoride and a slurpee and then played the last one. I sat out for a good like 5 games when I got the slurpee though and I was still super tired. I hate playing in the heat. I was planning on heading back to Oakland this day but decided to stay and hang out with Mark for his last night, eat dinner and watch P.S I Love you.
The move was pretty good. It was really sad and all I could think about was my cousin Yogi who passed away earlier this year. I really miss her. I didnt get to finish the whole movie because Darren's cousins came over to drink with Mark on his last night in town. UHHH so the tiredness continues. We ended up drinking until like 1:45. Well I drank till like 1 and then sneaked out to go to sleep. And now I'm at work.. Tired AGAIN!!! I think I'm going to go home early.. like right now... okay, till next time.

Drakes
First I just have to say I got yelled at for taking so long to blog. I was told I'm a horrible blogger!
Yay! We wont the SHIP!! The friendship game that is. I didn't expect greatness but I do think our team has the potential. I mean we didn't have two key players this weekend. Michi was playing with her old owls team and Kat was in Washington.
Our first game we played against a team from LA called Who Nu. We totally BLEW-IT! At one point we were up by 15 points and we had a 10 pt lead with 2 minutes to go. Yes, we beat ourselves. The game ended up going into overtime and the weakest plalyer on their team ends up scoring this panicked 3 pointer. SO WEAK!!!! It's okay we'll get them next time.
The second game we played against my old Diablo team. We got killed. They beat us on the 3 and our match ups were horrible. But the thing that pissed me off the most was at the end of the game and I had the ball and one of my old teammates (JENNY, hahah I like her) runs me over and takes out my leg. Totally disjoints my knee. NO CALL! When I went up to the ref after the play he tells me how she knocks the ball out of my hands. I'm sorry NO, my knee F*&^%) HURTS! So when I tell him he goes, "Oh" and walks away. That GOD DAMN F()&*N ASSHOLE!! As my dad would say, " It's okay, people like that are going to die!!!" For some reason whenever I rethink those words it makes me feel a lot better! hahaha...
For the last game there isn't much to say. We killed them by 38. For the weekend I played pretty well. On saturday I was 100% from the freethrow line and 11 for 13 total. Not too shabby. I'm sure sore though. I'm going to need to take a nice HOT bath and get some Ice for the knee... Man I'm getting old.

Alicia Key's SURPISE!!!
Saturday Finally came and went! I bought Alicia Key's tickets for Darren and Michelle for their Birthday and wanted to surprise them with the tickets at dinner. So the surprise was only for Michelle b/c Darren was a brat about it. He asked me all kinds of questions like, "Do I need to pack a bag for the weekend?" " Will we be out late?" "How do I need to dress?" Then one day we got in a fight and he started complaining how he wanted to go to Vegas that weekend... So I just yelled at him," I GOT YOU DAMN ALICIA KEYS CONCERT TICKETS @()&*%($)&*@)&#*)" Anyhow, I pretty much blew up at him b/c I felt that he was being ungrateful! Well after the fight he claimed that he didnt remember me telling him what we were doing that weekend and that he totally forgot. I don't totally believe him but I decided not to mention it again. Then one day he goes, "Oh, so I was looking and the Alicia Key's Concert is that weekend. Is that what we're doing?" WHAT A BRAT!!! He probably looked on the internet for everything that was happening that weekend and found the concert. He claims he didn't, but I'm not sure if I believe him.
The concert started at 9 and so we decided to eat dinner at the Red Crane before hand. The Red Crane is in Cupertino and is owned by my cousin's really good friend Royce Mori. It is AWESOME!!! We had to figure out a way to give the tickets to Michelle and Lorin so they would be totally surprised. Erin put them in little gift card boxes and I stuck them to the waitress to bring out. It was so cute! She brought them all out on a plate with a little candle on it. Erin has the pictures. The girls opened the boxes and it took them a while to realize what it was. They were staring staring.. and were like "COOL" then Lorin goes, "When is it???" haha and then some more looking and finally Michelle goes, "IT'S TODAY!!!!!!" Hahaha it was classic!
The food was FABULOUS!! I love the Red Crane. If you're ever in the south bay you need to try it. It's Asian Fusion and everything was delicious. There was 7 of us and each of us got at choose a dish.. some two...
Red Crane Sashimi: Yummie! It was perfect b/c there were 7 of us and 7 pieces. It also comes with sauces (5 of them) each served in a soup spoon.
Shaking Beef: So everything is Yummie. This is pretty much marinated beef cubes. It was good!
Thai Clams and Roti Prada: It's like Thai curry with clams and it comes with this crispy flaky bread. Very BOM! We started pouring the sauce over our rice. You need to try it.
Cha-Shu Black Cod: I think this is pretty much everyone's favorite dish. It's really buttery. It's pretty much like candy fish.
DePesto Roll: No rice in this roll. Fish rolled in Cucumber and then placed in a bowl of Pesto. Very Yummie... Not the typical roll.
Toro Tataki: You look at the dish and you wonder where the fish is. It was cut into like 8 small pieces of toro with a slice of jalapino on it. It was BOM! It totally melts in your mouth!
Coffee glazed Short Ribs: I've been to this restaurant before and this is a new dish. OMG SO AMAZING!!! The meat is already pulled off the bones and it just like melts in your mouth. The flavor is also explosive!
Garlic Chow Mein: Always Yummie!!! haha.. It's garlicy and peppery... Very peppery but not to spicy b/c my mom can eat it. Very flavorful!
Finally to Dessert. We ordered a butt load of dessert!
3 Pana Cottas: Each comes with a trio of pana cottas: green tea, Manderine orange, and red bean And yes we got 3 of them!
Shaved ice with Ice Cream and red bean. Okay, they have every flavor imaginable. We got Palmogranite, Blood Orange, and one more I forgot.
Berry Crumble: It's a cobbler. It's a bomb cobler! It comes out hot with melted ice cream on top. SOoo Yummie!
Damn, I'm getting hungry just talking about this food. We finished really fast and everything came out SUPER FAST! So we had plenty of time to make it to the concert.
THE CONCERT!!
So we got there about 30min early and walked around got some drinks. Then made it up to our seats. We were in the second to last row. So the order of the show goes: Jordan Sparks, Neo, Alicia Keys. Half way though Jordan Sparks this women next to me goes, "Uhhhh I dont even want to sit there anymore" So i ask her, "What happened?" Then I look and the guy sitting a couple seats down on the top row is like hunched over and everyone in front of him has left. There was puke all on his pants and some on the seat in front of him. GROSS!!! SO HAPPY I WASN'T SITTING IN FRONT OF HIM!!! So half way though Neo two guys come up with a clearer and some like towels. One of the guys starts walking down the row looking for the "spill" It was weird b/c the people in the back row behind us didn't realize that the guy like 5 seats down from them was puking out his brains and was pretty much passed out. Once the cleaner dude reaches the guy he looks at him.. and then just walks away back to the stairs. He goes to his friend and you can tell he was like.. Okay, we need more help. So they leave. Then later some more like EMT people come up with red back packs. Two of them look at him and then use their radio and leave. THEN a total of 4 EMT people come up. They make everyone in our two rows clear out. (All during Neo's performance) So as we are walking down I notice 4 empty seats. I tell Darren and Michelle that we should just go and sit in those until we can go up or someone kicks us out. Here's a picture of the guy getting taken down the stairs in a chair (HE COULD NOT WALK)
Anyways, it sucks for that guy. Didn't get to see any of the concert. But it was great for us. We got WAY better seats. And nobody ended up coming. So we sat there the WHOLE TIME!!! Michelle took hella pictures. Uhhh.. I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!! Alicia keys was amazing. My favorite part was her playing the Piano upside down.
She's amazing and it was an amazing show. If you didn't get tickets and you didn't get to go.. I'm sorry that sucks. Because the concert rocked!!!!
