Today has been a day full of disappointments. I woke up this morning amped to see my favorite musical artist at the moment, Robin Thicke perform at Jimmy Kimmel Live. I got to work, and tried to focus and plow through what felt like the longest day of my life.

1. During lunch I ate 2 slices of Papa Howa pizza (you did not misread. Shanielle's dad makes probably the most delicious pizza ever with every ingredient either homegrown, handmade or both.
2. I drank a starbucks double shot
3. I ate a green jolly rancher
4. Forgot to mention the donut I ate first thing...

Then I went back to my desk. And that is where our first disappointment landed on my lap. Brandy had to break the news that they switched schedules, and Robin Thicke was no longer the featured musical artist. He was replaced by none other than Coldplay. Sorry Coldplay fans... its just not my cup of tea. Being that I had already made plans w/ 2 of my coworkers, 1 of which is a coldplay fan, I decided to go to the show for the experience anyway. Jimmy Kimmel is pretty hilarious and it would be a fun experience regardless.

Around 5ish my coworker matt reminded me to eat something since we would be sitting at a live taping and probably won't get out until well after 9pm.

1. I ate two more slices of howa pizza
2. I drank a club soda

The ticket said to meet at the location at 5:30. It is about a 10 minute walk from our building, so at 5:15 I rounded up the troops and we stood in line to see the show... only to be told that they have met capacity. The kind worker did offer to let us stand outside with the rest of the coldplay fans to wait until the concert and just enjoy the concert...but as you can guess, this was not really an appealing alternative to me, so I passed.

So there you have it. Rejected by Robin, Rejected by Jimmy Kimmel, Rejected by Coldplay! Rough.

Just when I thought I was all birthday'd out, I walked into a half dozen of these delicious ice cream cones with chocolate cake baked into them w/ frosting on top, made by my sweet (and newly american) friend Ade. I'm not really sure if we really are friends because I ended up eating 4 (count em) 4 of those bad boys throughout the course of my day!!

For breakfast:

1. I ate two of those cake ice cream cones
2. I drank a club soda

For lunch:

1. I ate chicken katsu
2. I ate a scallop hand roll
3. I drank hot green tea
4. I ate another one of those annoyingly delicious ice cream cones

Got back to work, bumped some r&b jams on turntable.fm.... then of course got up for a snack

1. I ate a bag of baked sour cream n cheddar ruffles
2. I ate the fourth and final ice cream cone!

And now I am heading home and I'm sure I probably don't really deserve any dinner...

...but I ate dinner anyway!

1. I ate spiral pasta w/ four cheese sauce :/

Happy birthday to me. I woke up this morning and started the day off right by putting on my birthday tiara, hopping in the car, and getting my butt to hollywood.

When I got there,

1. I ate a strawberry yogurt granola bar
2. I drank a cup of tea

Then after a good amount of time, I dragged Yoon to umami burger for lunch

1. I ate the pastrami burger (WAY LEGIT)
2. I ate french fries w/ umami ketchup

I came back to my desk and did more work...until I was interrupted by the sounds of an accordion. What the? Normally on someone's birthday, I play the accordion, and somehow today on my birthday, they've managed to squeeze in a little squeeze box! Then I came to find out that the squeeze box being played over our build speakers is none other than my SISTER all the way from Washington D.C. Thanks for recording that rendition of happy bday for me, chi ba!

Along w/ my accordion serenade, was a hand-made jumbo bday card that has hello kitty pop out when you open it. Inside were signatures and kind words from my dear coworkers. Did I mention I was also served a hot pink cupcake?

All in all it was a great bday and I look forward to my 28th year of life! Thank you everyone who has been a part of it!

OH YEAH

For dinner...

1. I ate crispy pork with chinese brocolli
2. I drank thai iced tea
3. I ate my bday cupcake

But first let me start w/ yesterday.. 2/4/2012..the day of my party.

I wish I could tell you exactly what I ate but I just continued stuffing my face all day and have no idea what the amount is. All I know is it is somewhere between "a lot" and "embarrassingly a lot".

We had:

1. Egg rolls
2. Spring rolls
3. Orange chicken
4. Jalepeno popper dip w/ crackers
5. pastry puffs w/ feta cheese and carmelized onions
6. pigs in a blanket
7. cha su bao
8. shrimp skewers
9. flaming hot cheetos
10. pistachio cupcakes
11. french macarons
12. chocolate chip cherry cookies
13. sugar cookies
14. cream soda
15. newcastle beer

And in between eating these delicious items, my guests and I played rock band, dance central and jousted (I rented a jousting ring for the backyard). All in all it was a very fun bday party! It will def. go down in the history books!

Then that evening, my mom and dad through me a bday party at their favorite party spot, nhu 7 ca 8 mon! They also invited Shanielle and her parents to join in on the fun.

1. We cuoned all sorts of different fish/beef entrees
2. I ate fish chao
3. I drank Martell Cordon Bleu w/ my family of course

And of course, both our parents got up to dance to some Vietnamese music. It was way too cute, and always fun to see my parents and Shanielle's parents hang out in some strange parallel universe.

This morning I woke up and..

1. I ate orange chicken w/ white rice
2. I ate 3 egg rolls

Simply because I could! Then me and yoonster hung out for a while then headed to Newport Beach where Shanielle invited us and the Lams over for some Superbowl fun.. although I was not there for foot ball, I came for Papa Howa's famous homemade pizza! Everything from the crust, the sauce, the sausage, the vegetables... were all brought from Howaville and are either made from his homegrown vegetables, or were sausages that were ground, seasoned, stuffed and smoked by him!

1. I ate strawberries and apples w/ shanielle's delicious fruit dip
2. I ate potato chips
3. I ate popcorn
4. I drank sangria
5. I ate many slices of the super delicous pizza

And now here I sit watching Star Wars: A New Hope w/ yoonski, drinking a cream soda and eating one of ja-shin's delicious cookies while ringing in my bday at midnight! I look forward to being 28. SFSG!
