It's a low key celebration and that how he prefers it. I surprised him with a bouquet of flowers. He was kinda shy carrying it around =P Then we had brunch at The French Crepe and I got him a button down polo shirt at Banana Republic. We also stopped by at Kat Von D's tattoo shop to check it out but it's closed coz she's at OC for some concert. On our way home, we saw the Oscar red carpet at Hollywood & Highlands. I love you sweets! You will always be in my heart!

LA Lakers vs Atlanta Hawks @ Staples Center

After playing "away games" for 3 weeks... The boys are back! We won an easy victory with the Hawks (122-93 points) last night, and since the score of the opponent is below 99 points, we got FREE tacos at Taco Bell. All fans gave a warm welcome to Pau Gasol and I noticed that Kobe is really happy with his team winning 5 straight games.

I watched the Lakers vs Suns game on TV earlier. It's the first time Shaq plays for the Suns after the trade.. Lakers won again! Our TEAM is unbeatable! I hope it continues until the playoffs!

Mammoth Getaway

Day 1 - Feb 15
Departure from LA: 7pm
Arrival: 1mn
We had dinner at Denny's in Bishop.. it's just another hour drive to our condo in Mammoth Lakes. (no pictures were taken coz we're really exhausted) Almost everyone were already sleeping when we arrived. We took a shower then went to our room to sleep.

Day 2 - Off to Mammoth ski resort
I woke up at 7am then we had breakfast that Jannie prepared. It took us another couple of hours to prepare and by the time we reached the resort, it's already 11am. I had a total of 5 runs and the best run was the 4th one at lift #7! The slopes were not that steep so it's all good. I also learned how to do heel side coz I always do toe side. I then realized that's it easier to control your board with heel side. I also didn't run into the hassle of renting snow boots and snowboard coz I already have my own! Finally! =P We left the resort at 5ish and I'm sore all over. My whole body hurts a lot esp my calves. Sher told me it's because we're not getting any younger. That sucks! haha Dinner was prepared by Jannie & Sher and I helped in setting up the table. We had shabu shabu! yum! After dinner, we went for a walk to burn everything we ate and to drink some coffee. When we got to The Village, Starbucks is already closed. We just took more pictures. Lights out at 10ish pm.

Day 3 - Feb 17
Departure from Mammoth: 9am
Arrival: 2pm
Woke up at 7am then I packed up all our things. We decided to grab something to eat at Bishop. Jun played Michael V's parody of My Humps.. really funny! Anghang-anghang, anghang.. kinilaw =P I'm gonna miss Mammoth!

My new gadget for 2008

I bought the Sony DSC-T2 at SonyStyle in Vegas last weekend. My Fuji Finepix Z1 is busted and I can't live without a point&shoot camera. I know, I have an SLR camera but I only use it for travel and artsy photography only. I still need a camera for casual use like family gatherings, gimik with friends, etc =). I'd like to capture every single moments/events in my life. I've been taking pictures since I was a kid and I still print 'em and put it in an album. I actually have a digital photo frame that Darwin gave me for Christmas, but I still want to look at pictures in prints.

My verdict? I love it! It takes good pictures even in low light and it has image stabilization. and best of it all, it's touchscreen and has 4GB internal memory =) I will also get a $130 credit because I used my SonyCard. Good deal huh?
