well, this have been an eventful week, and it isn't even finished yet. first of all, i want to so congratulations to my friend sally who just got married on july 17. i unfortunately could not attend, but looking at some of the pictures, it looks like they had lots of fun.

now moving to this week, i knew it was going to be a busy one. my birthday was this past tuesday...and i had a lovely dinner with my family at this new chinese restaurant. it was called king lobster...so with a name like that it had to be good!!! nonetheless, everyone enjoyed and the lobster was really good too (considering it was $40 bucks for just the lobster!!!)

wednesday was a very eventful day. our dept was having a sort of team building event at del mar. jack daniel's invited us down for the day...i had no idea what to expect, but from what people told me (STEPH, that's you!) it was the biggest day in san diego for people to take a day off...it literally felt like the whole population of san diego was making their way through the gates. let's just say, sites, sounds, and huge elaborate...hats where on display!!! everyone seemed to be decked out, and the vibe was just awesome. good time, good people, good betting (or bad betting) it was an amazing day...and i will leave it at that!

check out this link of just a sample of what we saw opening day!

well, we are well into summer, and the weather is really starting to warm up. not sure how it is back in my home town of toronto, but here in LA, it's up in the 90's almost every day...actually, i just got back from vegas over the weekend, and the weather peaked at around 111 degrees...

i must say, everytime i go to vegas, there seems to be a new resort or casino going up...it's hard to keep up.

whoa...how long has it been? i can't even remember the last time i posted something. probably, just prior to the summer.

well, i'm sure lots has happened, but i can't really remember much right now. i do know that canada day just past, and now we're inching closer to july 4th long weekned. to commmemorate, we have been given half day thursday, then friday off as well!!! whoohooo!

my parents are in town visiting till the end of august...which is cool. however, they are staying with my brother in corona, so i don't see them all the time...which is fine. once a week or once every 2 weeks is just enough for me to get my fill of my mom's cooking!

i started p90x as well...roughly a month ago! i just survived phase 1 which lasted 4 weeks. let's just say, it really kicked my ass...almost everyday. now moving onto phase 2, i'm into a whole new set of exercises which are once again, kicking my ass. i just have to remember that i have only 2 months left...i'll let you know how it goes.

draft day came and went for both nhl and nba...raptors didn't do much and will most likely not make the playoffs again this year. chris bosh should be traded this year, because there is no was he will resign in 2010. the leafs are just as terrible. they haven't made any big moves and will most likely not make playoffs...good luck burkie!

the ducks on the other hand, have neidermeyer returning and selanne. plus we acquired some great draft picks, got younger, and save lots of money!!! playoff bound once again.
