thursday, i got into work before scheduled for the first time in a long time. after work, i worked out, and met up with eric lai. we went to korea house.
the few times i have been there, the food was mediocre. and they weren't any different this time around. i got nak ji bbok kkum. which means spicy sauteed squid. it was very disappointing. after dinner, we walked over to tapioca express, and watched "Am I Hot"
i think this has to be the most shallow show to this day. i couldn't really watch too much of it. half way through the show, we decided to head back.
friday. me and nguyen decided to install a server in the la jolla professional building. if i worked here (where el torito is) my commute to work can be as short as a minute and a half. that is including parking.
after that, we hit up flame broiler for lunch.
friday, i spent the night at home. i got some el pollo loco take out, and finally got to some bit torrent downloads i've been meaning to watch.
-married with children reunion special
-inside the actor studio, the simpsons
i must have ate too much chicken because i passed out early and woke up about midnight. and didn't get to sleep until about 6:30 am saturday. i woke up with only 4 hours of sleep.
saturday. jeff called me up, so we dropped his celica off at this car shop because it wasn't passing smog.
after that, we got in his GTR and he showed me his new addon. the g meter.
it looks like we hit a pretty good turn on a freeway on ramp. the m/s^2 means acceleration. 1 g is about 9.1m/s^2. and the screen displays g's in the incremet of .1 g's. we went to get boba at tapioca express. then we cruised around for a bit. and while we were driving by UCSD, a 5th gen honda accord pooled up and this guy started making noise like he was going to bust a nut in his pants starring at the GTR. after that, jeff helped me put some air in my tires because it looked a little bit low. and then we met up later at my place so we can go get pho and watch cradle to the grave.
the funnies moment of the night was when jeff felt like getting some sweets right before the movie theater. so we went to coldstones. and got a waffle cone. and somehow snuck it under his shirt into the theater. i thought he pulled it off pretty well. but it was damn funny. after the movie, i went to work to do some quick troubleshooting on one of our servers.
sunday. i went to work because the server's connection had gone down again. i diagnosed the problem a little more in detail, then headed to costco near fashion valley because the one in the clairemont area really doesn't have anything right now. last time i went, they were out of basically everything i wanted to purchase. i don't think they had a single bottle of shampoo. and no almonds. which is bad cause almonds everywhere else cost more than beef jerky. and it has become a necessary part of my everyday diet. luckily the costco i went today had everything i was looking for. it wasn't the first time they ran out of almonds, so i decided to take a precautionary measure and buy 4 bags of almonds (12 lbs).
i decided to take up another thing to boost my metabolism and improve physical performance. chewing gum. yup. you heard right. here is a copy of the article.
How to Chew Out the Drug Companies.
A spate of recent studies suggests that schewsing sugar-free peppermint gum (25 cents a pack) may do more for your health than $100 worth of prescription medications. Some of th ehealth benefits of regular chewing:
Dental health
Sugar-free sweetners in the gum encourage the production of saliva which helps fight cavities and sweeten your breath.
Nausea relief
Compounds in peppermint show stomach contractions, helping you feel less queasy.
Weight loss
Repetitive jaw movement helps you burn calories spiking your metaboslim by up to 20 percent while you chew.
Motivation anxiety reduction
Peppermint scent inproves your mood and helps you work harder at the gum.
Memory improvment.
The chewing motion increases bloodflow to the brain, boosting memroy by as much as 35 percent.
as funny as it sounds, most of it makes sense. since i like to do things in big steps, i bought a lot of gum today.
i went to the gym after costco, then went to nguyen's house to join nguyen, michelle, chris, and sang for some spring rolls.
and that's my weekend.
