to sum up this past weekend in one word is difficult but if i had to choose, i'd go with AMAZING-CRAZY-FUN!!! see, since i put in the hyphens, it makes it one word.
 
saturday started off kinda late but we did wake up in time for lunch. aki and i went to sasaya to have some udon. the flavors were good but the noodles were a bit too soft which kinda ruined it. after lunch we met up with my brother's family at the Aquarium of the Pacific. it started off as a rainy, gloomy day but once we got there, the sun was up and no rain in sight. while we were looking at the fish in the big tanks, my niece starts to mumble something. i later figured out it was 'under the sea', although she pronounces it 'unda da shweet'. i think she has a crush on aki cuz she spent most of the day holding hands with him. aaaaaaaaawwwwwww!!!! when we ask her who she wants to hold hands with, she goes straight to aki, but when asked who she wants to take her to the bathroom, its usually me. i think i'm getting the shorter end of the stick.
for dinner we met up with ayako, eiji and baby momoka at otafuku. haven't been there in a while so it was nice to go back. the four of us... the ones that weren't pregnant or breast feeding... me and the 3 guys, went through 2 bottles of shochu. good times!
 
on sunday i was up before the sun. headed out to disneyland to meet my brother & family again to have breakfast at goofy's kitchen. nanami (my niece) got to see Cinderella and take pictures with her but i think she hurt Cinderella's feelings when she then asked for princess Aurora. after breakfast we walked to the park. i was only there to have breakfast and to run errands for work, so i bid my family farewell as they went into the park and i began walking to my car. and this must be where the Disney magic sets in. long story extra short, my friend R was able to hook me up with a ticket to go into the park. i was so excited cuz i knew nanami was going to get the princess makeover at bibbidi bobbidi boutique and i really wanted to share that experience with her. i thought it was gonna be kinda cheesy but Disney did a great job with that service. as soon as you step foot into the salon, the stylist treat each girl as if she were a real princess. they get to choose the color of their hair extentions, make-up and nail polish. one of the stylist had to walk in front of nanami to grab something and as she was passing she says "excuse me your highness". it was all very cute. when her makeover was done and as we walked around the park, nanami was curtseying at random people and flipping her long pink extensions. it was so adorable. i can't wait to show off pictures! the day ended with dinner at bubba gump. since my favorite shrimp place, Killer Shrimp closed the only place i can get something similar (shrimpin' dippin' broth) is at bubba gump so i was very happy. i had leftovers but when i got home the husband was, from what i could see, licking salt (yes, just plain salt) off a plate i felt bad and let him eat my leftovers. btw, is this what husbands do when their wives aren't home to cook dinner? they suck on salt? WTF?!?! as aki was devouring the food, i was telling him about the days events and he was really bummed he couldn't be there because he had work that day. he's dying to see pics of the little diva princess too. actually i think they have a crush on each other. LOL. i'm always amazed that however many times i go to disney (and i go fairly often), it never disappoints. pictures to come soon!

hopping on the bandwagon...

my critique of the kogi truck tacos:
 
the guy who takes the order was really nice and friendly so big props to him!
 
my favorite was the spicy pork taco. the pork was very flavorful and it all came together nicely. YUM!!! however, the short rib taco was a bit disappointing. the meat was overpowered by the acidity of the spiced veggies. i couldn't taste the meat at all. then theres the kimchi quesadilla. what can i say? it was a quesadilla with kimchi, nothing fantastic or really all that creative. oh and here's a thought i had about the short rib burrito. very tasty but how about using a sunny-side-up egg? you take a bite and the yolk flows down into the rest of the burrito. anybody see spanglish and the midnight sammich adam sandler made? i'm thinking something like that. ooh, grub!!! so to sum up, if the line isn't ridiculously long then it is very much worth trying the spicy pork taco. the rest of the food... eh, not so much.

orthopedic doctors are the most useless bastards EVER to exist! ok ok, thats a little harsh. let me re-phrase... nope nevermind i stand by my statement. i went to see one yesterday because lately my back hurts every time i go play golf. so he takes a few x-rays and his diagnosis... wait for it... just take some pain killers. WTF?!?! are you really saying this to me?!?! what the f*ck were the x-rays for? i would've had a few choice words for the doctor but was too dumbfounded to say anything.
so i decided to go see my acupunturist friend this week to see if he can fix me. my first time with needles. i wonder if it'll hurt. a lil scared.
 
lately i've been having problems sleeping. and because of that i'm always so tired. insomnia sucks! hmm... could it be pre-wedding jitters? so much on my mind and i can't even get one jumbled thought to solidify. i'm a complete mess.
