"relations."

i wish that kristen bell could narrate my life like she narrates gossip girl hahaha. i am definitely hooked. since yesterday...i've watched about 10 episodes out of 21. at the rate i'm going, i'll be caught up with the series just in time for tomorrow's new episode. yeah yeah...it's lame but i like the show so that's that. moving on to something more lifenewsworthy (i know it's a fake word)...i went to my nephew chris' birthday party at the civic center. i was happy to see my cousins who i haven't seen in so long. it was an interesting party because it was filled with a bunch of my nephew's friends...a high school scene in full effect which i'm no longer familiar with. guitar hero/rock band music played live by chris and his band, crazy games like fear factor, plenty of filipino food...not the usual family party but i enjoyed my time. afterwards...i went over to old town pasadena with dub just to walk around and get boba...his suggestion haha. it was super random and we only spent an hour or so there but i haven't chilled with dub like that for the longest time so it was time well spent. went to ra sushi and met up with jay for some late night feasting. ran into lynne and marcus...always a pleasure to see them and catch up. good ol' ra sushi...the unfortunate destination of scenesters and people wanting to be someplace further...say la or newport beach. shoot...i just wanted to end my night locally and on a smooth note. i went to my grandma's birthday lunch at red lobster today. once again...great to see some of my relatives since it's been awhile. lots of good food, especially two pounds of delicious snow crab. all in all...the weekend was well spent in the company of family and some cameo time with friends. until the next time...i'm off to watch more gossip girl, take care and much love!
