Speechless...

Annie, Jay, Hollis and I went to see Hotel Rwanda on Saturday night...and it was a moving experience. I haven't felt so conflicted by a movie since Black Hawk Down. The kind of feeling where you don't know to be happy, sad, angry or sick at humanity. I highly recommend this movie, but be warned you may be holding your breath through most of it.

So I had a few things I wanted to point out about this...

1. I feel bad about saying this was a "great" movie, because the subject matter is actual history...and not some far off "my great grandfather fought in some war eons ago" but recent history...roughly when I was a high school junior. Back then I was much more informed about what was going on in the world and yet I didn't know the genocide of 1 million people happened in Rwanda.
   
2. Don Cheadle is an amazing actor...no longer just a supporting actor..but someone who can lead an entire film. His portrayal of Paul was amazing. You felt compassion and cheered for things to work out for Paul, because Paul was just a regular guy who inadvertantly took on an amazing responsibility. It was very complex too because Don Cheadle portrayed Paul as a conflicted man who's family is the main priority but his devotion to his company and job ended up being a way to save everyone else too...too much going on ther for me to explain...just watch the movie


3. Paul saved approximatedly 1200 Rwandans...a small number compared to the 1 million that died. You could say that it wasn't enough, but compared to most people's "fight or flight" mentality....I think it was amazing. He neither fought nor ran....but simply stood his ground, bought time, cashed in all his favors, tried to get everyone else out all the while trying to maintain the 4 star quality of the Hotel Milles Colines. Once again...too much going on there to concisely explain.


4. This movie and Don Cheadle were robbed at the Oscars last night...they should have won something. I am biased since I did not see Million Dollar Baby or Ray...but sometimes, people need a forum...and with the wide reach of the Oscars, it would have been a great opportunity to raise awareness and spread some sort of message.


5. Even after watching the movie..I am not sure what do do. I am not sure if it's appropriate to get involved in civil disputes as a general rule of thumb(although I know this was genocide). I wonder because it is by the colonization of those areas by strangers (euros) that additional tensions mounted and the natural tribal power structure was put out of wack....then they leave, leaving the country stunted in growth...would a re-insertion of strangers forcing a certain way of life really solve the problem? I don't know.

Recuperating?

I gotta be honest. I am not that sore from my race yesterday. My calves and hamstrings are a little tight, but not sore...wow, I might actually be getting used to all this running.

Crossing the Finish Line!

So my 5K time was 33 minutes. I'm a little bummed because that means I'm slower, I ended up averaging an 11 minute mile versus my usual 10 minute mile. Oh well, at least i got a ribbon. Having a post-race brunch with the ladies at Rose's Cafe in the Marina helped me feel better too...smoked salmon, creme fraiche and scrambled egg pizza....

Hollis and me at Aquatic Park.

So the two of us and Hollis' work friend Alana ran the Waterfront 5K Sunday morning. Don't ask me why....because we all know I despise running. Hollis is a marathoner/triathalon type of sporty girl....and me??? not so much, but I am trying. Overall, it wasn't too bad...and it seems that the group that put on this race is called the Dolphin South End Runners and they put on some sort of race every weekend. Pretty cool....I may join *GASP*

USF Rugby vs. UC Santa Cruz

OUCH! 10 minutes into the game, some guy basically ran over/stepped on Dobel's eye post-tackle and gave him quite a cut on his eyelid. It's basically swollen shut and black and blue (my camera flash doesn't do it justice)....I missed this game....but stay tuned for more!

hungover...and still....hungover

rule #1, never make early morning plans for the weekend and then proceed to go out the evening before.....because if you're me, what inevitably happens is that I get WAY too wasted, stay up too late and get nothing done....and my tummy hurts.

so tonight, it's an early movie with Hollis and Annie and some carbo-loading for our race tomorrow. I don't even want to come near any booze....

Linh's 28th Birthday

Best group photo ever...taken at the Fremont Bar

Left to right: Forrest, Me, Susi, Laura, Mark, Katie, Erin, Sean and Kristin
Seated in front: Jason, Linh, Vy and Hiroko (Sam and Dobel already left)

We celebrated Linh's birthday on Friday night (her actual birthday) with dinner at Palomino (bread pudding anyone?), some floor slappin karaoke at the Fremont Bar followed up by dancing at Hi-Fi in the Marina. Yes, my friends, it was an all out city excursion.

Best conversation of the night...
While in the cab to the Marina, Linh says "I don't think I can sing as much as I used to anymore....I need to rest my voice, I need to take longer breaks in between songs"
My response being "yes, you should....you don't want an Ashlee Simpson problem"

Hiroko loading up on Corona while Linh serenades her. Linh's rendition of Livin La Vida Loca was the hit of the night....however I did like her duet with Hiroko when they sang Sometimes by Britney Spears, complete with dance routine.

Blue Screen of Death

Why does this shit ALWAYS happen to me? I'll be really glad when this day is over.

TGIFUCKER!

Thank god it's Friday...but I have a headache the size of a fucking mountain! Why? Why? Why? I've had this headache for an entire week....no amount of Tylenol or Advil seems to shake it's grasp from my cerebrum. I can't figure out what spawned this pain...but I have a few theories.

1. All the chocolate I have been eating this week
2. My brain is too big for my skull (because I am a genius)
3. I need a vacation
4. I am having an aneurysm

Please cast your votes...I am curious to know what you think.

Happy Birthday Linh!

Jason and the birthday girl.

Today is Linh's birthday...she follows Hiroko into the 28 club....I don't remember who is next...but I'm not that far off now, arg. Later this evening, we have some festivities lined up to celebrate our girl's birthday...so more to follow.

Happy Birthday Michelle!

Robert, Michelle and Me at the Ruby Skye White Party back in June 2004

Today is Michelle's brithday. I'll be making a phone call to her sometime today. I would call her butt-ass early like I do with everyone else, but she isn't a morning person....and I don't want to feel her wrath as I wake her up. But nonetheless...here's a pic of the birthday girl sandwiched in between two people who love her.

Now there's some semi-lesbo action for ya.

Of course we're posing for the camera...I'm such a ham, I would do almost anything in front of the camera as long as it isn't incriminating. How did I end up behind the bar at Ruby Skye?

So, What Does This Mean For Me?

Actual article in the Chicago Sun-Times from Monday, Feb 21, 2005

So this article has a lot to say about how women who eat chocolate on a regular basis have higher libidos, better sexual arousal and more sexual satisfaction than non-choclate eaters. This elicited many giggles and laughs from the office because it's a well known fact that I don't eat chocolate. I just don't like it...and I don't crave it....I primarily don't like sweets all that much.

But based on this article I am the sexual equivalent of an ice cube because I don't partake in chocolate-feeding fenzies. HMMMM maybe this is worth an experiment...I'll eat chocolate for a few months and see if it makes me horny(er).

There is so much more I want to say....but I am going to refrain...

Dreamin of Mavericks Part 2

Per Molly's comment, I needed to dig this picture up. This was back in September 2004, Molly packed a picnic lunch to have at the beach...beautiful day...but a slow day at mavs.

Gay Wednesday

How is it gay wednesday already?!?? For some people today is called "hump day" but at my company, it's called gay wednesday. Why? you ask??? Oh, please be patient...I will explain.

An old conversation
Me: Hey, tomorrow's wednesday.
Jason: Yay! It's hump day
Greg: I don't know what the word "hump" means in the US, but in Australia it means something else.
Betty: Oh!...yeah. It means that here too, but in reference to a work week, it means getting over the middle (hump) of the week. So now thursday and friday are all downhill.
Jim: Yeah, that reference wouldn't work to well here since there are only 2 women that work in our office.
Jason: Totally, it would be gay wednesday

So now you know the genesis of gay wednesday. Having 3 day weekends always throws me off, because now it's already wednesday and I'm totally a day behind. But the weekend does seem closer..heeheehee

Today's Surf Report

Cowell's web cam from Surfline. Time to make a trip over the hill and get wet. I need to log a few more Dawn Patrol hours....it's just been too long, my gills are closing.

COWELLS: Good times, this is Adam with the report for Wednesday morning at 6:50AM.
SURF: 2-3 ft.+ - knee to chest high and fair+ conditions.
AM UPDATE: Good conditions but only fair+ shape. A little soft with the tide but there are some longboardable mushburgers coming through. Best shape will be on the negative low tide this afternoon/evening.

Anyone care to join me?

I Dream of Mavericks

Holy shit! Wouldn't it be cool to get tubed in this?

Sometimes I dream like this.

MMMM...Chocolate, WTF?

Trio of chocolates....before I devoured them. The strange thing is, I don't even like chocolate.

Not only did eating chocolate sound good to me today, I apparently have the shakes or something because I can't seem to hold the camera still while trying to visually capture chocolate...this is photo attempt 50 or something like that. Now I have a major sugar rush and my stomach hurts. It scares me too.

Business Travel: Always Professional, Never Inappropriate, Yeah Right.

Arf! Arf! Arf! A drunken Corley looking like a seal.

We are currently sitting at Giligans in Scottsdale a few blocks from the hotel. Our post basketball game (anything) ritual involves a lot of heavy drinking. The double Maker's Mark is apparently taking it's toll on Corley.

Drunken Jason trying to pose and take a picture at the same time. Fabulous.

Metrosexual Snow Bunny or Frozen Fruit

So Trisha went to tahoe this weekend for a big ski trip weekend. Her friend Scott rolls up to the cabin in his convertible Honda S2000 Roadster... So far this story is not so gay...but wait, it gets way gayer. Scott rolls up to Tahoe in his convertible, with the top down and skiis sticking out. He drove like that from San Francisco all the way to Tahoe (roughly 2-3 hour drive).

Now that's some fruity shit. But that's just my opinion

Shades of Gay

Apparently it is gay.
My brother's roomate says that it's WAY more gay to suck your own dick...even if it's yours because ultimately: you've got a dick in your mouth.

Interesting....and Brandon is gay so I'm going to listen to his opinion versus a bunch of straight guys asking each other which act is more gay.

But does this mean jerking off another guy is no longer gay? or just less gay? hmmmmmmmmm

It's Not Gay if....

So, here are some various conversations from last night...dinner and drinks with Mike, Molly and Chester.

What's more gay??
1) Sucking your own dick (if you can)
2) Jerking off another guy.

Consensus: It's not gay if it's your own dick. However a good point was made in saying, "but at the end of the day, you still have a dick in your mouth."

Another quote: "He must have HUGE balls, so when he plays basketball, he's got a triple ball foul going on."

Thanks - signing out.

Cute Girls in the Rain.

Eileen & me (in the rain...watching the game)
If Sam and I didn't come from the same gene pool and if Eileen wasn't dating Ben...neither of us would be fucking standing in the rain...freezing our assess off..while watching USF Rugby play.

USF Rugby

The 2005 Team

Why can't they smile for something like this? Those bastards....btw - they played humboldt.

Lightning doesn't strike twice, does it?

View from my window seat at Burbank Airport.

So flying back home on friday went like this...Phoenix to Burbank to Oakland. No big deal, right? Not so...in the life of Betty....nothing is EVER ordinary. Somewhere over the southwestern skies between Arizona and Southern California...our plane got struck by lightning. HOW FUCKING COOL IS THAT! I saw a flash in the middle of the plane, as though someone was using flash photography...but no, it was static discharge from being struck by lightning. It was VERY cool...until our plane was grounded in Burbank for 3 additional hours while the FAA checked out the plane.

Cloud cover over California...lots of rain.

OMG! It's Steve Nash!?!?

Too bad the Suns lost the game, because it was a good one. I gotta say I did feel a little Bronco pride in watching Steve Nash (SCU alum) play ball. I think he graduated 2 years before I did and since SCU is such a small school...he was the local celebrity. Plus his basketball career was Suns - Mavericks - back to Suns...so needless to say, this was a great game.

Suns versus Mavericks

View from the luxury box.

My job does rock! I work hard...sometimes too hard, but at times like these, it's nice to be appreciated...especially with my customers sitting in a luxury box at the America West Arena watching the Suns take on the Mavericks.

Dobel's Gay Birthday

My Gays: Army Ben, Sam and Dobel

Dinner wednesday night in the city. It's Doblel's 22nd birthday so Army Ben cooked him a dinner of seafood pasta at their aptartment (that he shares with my bro, Sam). I was going to stay at my brother's apt wed night since I had a 6:00 am flight the next day out of Oakland....not knowing that the birthday dinner party was going to turn into a "hey everyone go to Sam & Ben's aptartment to hang out for Dobel's birthday" party...so after dinner and too many glasses of champagne and wine...I had to depart to get some sleep. But not before I gave the boys a bottle of Jack to celebrate, noticable in the lower left hand corner...

Focus Grasshopper

I know this may look the same to most of you...but I totally cleaned my desk today. Things are in nice, orderly stacks....ahhhh...much better. Although I still seem to have just a lot of shit that needs to reside in my cubicle. hmmmm. I need to find a better way of operating.

Leaving, On a Jet Plane

Don't know when, I'll be back again...
Just kidding, I'll be back on Friday.

(view from my window seat, somewhere between Dallas and San Francisco)

There's just something about taking off and landing on a plane that I find so exhilarating. I could skip the entire middle part where it's just regular flying across land or sea (unless I get pictures like this)...But turbulence is always fun. I am going to Phoenix tomorrow on a 6:00 am flight so the view from my window won't look quite like this, but I hope it does on my way back.

Random Rant for Today...

re·la·tion·ship ( P ) (r-lshn-shp)n.
1. The condition or fact of being related; connection or association.
2. Connection by blood or marriage; kinship.
3. A particular type of connection existing between people related to or having dealings with each other.
4. A romantic or sexual involvement.

Today I decided to look up the word relationship online. Upon reading the 4 different definitions, a relationship appears to be rather straightforward...it's the connection between two people of varying degrees. Nowhere in there does it say it MUST be approved and defined by some societal norm. I'd like to think that only the opinion of the people directly involved in the relationship matters.

Something to think about....the most simple sounding things are often the most complicated.
*sigh* And it makes you wonder, Why must things be defined?

I NEED ATTENTION!

Today is a bad day for my ADD. I cannot focus and I need attention. I've got about 20 IM screens open while checking all 4 of my email accounts (business and personal) while writing materials for a sales proposal. Really, where is my prescription of Ridalin?

Why don't you just have a protein shake?

Breakfast: scrambled eggs, tofu, spinach, tomatoes, salsa and tapatio

Actual conversation while making breakfast in the office breakroom.

Marcus: Is that tofu you're putting in the eggs?
Betty: Yes
Marcus: Why don't you just have a protein shake then?
Betty: Protein shakes don't taste good and they make stinky farts. My brother drinks protein shakes a lot...riding in a car with him is reminiscent of a toxic gas chamber.
(Laughing)

Why does it always rain on me?

Current weather forecast for Sunnyvale via weather.com

And it's supposed to rain all week....sweet.

Reminder: V Day

I know it's a hallmark holiday...but make sure to love someone today :)

Happy Valentine's Day

In the spirit of Valentine's Day I went out and bought a few packages of the Necco Sweethearts. I'm sure everyone remembers getting those chalk conversation hearts in class on 2/14...back when the teachers required that everyone in the class receive a valentine? Nowadays I prefer the "tarts" version to the original flavor....but it's cute to see the unveiling of new conversations. Necco is a New England based company, so it seems only fitting that all the new conversations have a sports theme.

Dinner with the (other) family

Blurry Baby: Zoe in action with daddy's hat

Sunday evening was dinner at Sarah and Scott's house. These guys are my other family...you know, besides the biological asian one that I have. We haven't seen each other in a few months because of the holidays, various colds/flus and well, they have a baby now...so time is somewhat of a constraint. But today we spent for hours eating, watching Zoe and catching up.

Sometimes it's nice to go home again, now there's more people to love.

Totally forgot to mention this...but midway through dinner we heard a whole slew of emergency vehicles going by the house. So our curiousity drove us to the patio door to peek at the activity. Apparently a house down the street from S&S had exploded.....this definately wasn't a sleepy sunday.

Dolce e Caldo

That's italian for Sweet and HOT....for those who are globally challenged.
The Ladies: Erin, Linh and yours truly

Saturday night in North Beach. Kristin's friend Missy threw a Valentine's Day party at Dolce (new club) and I must say....it was super fun. I haven't seen a crowd that good looking in a long time. I mean...EVERYONE was pretty hot (boys and girls). Usually, there's a bunch of hottie girls surrounded by super skeevy dudes....but not here. It was like the Marina meets the set of OC....needless to say we all had a fabulous time (who wouldn't without Erin the dancin machine).

Linh and Disco Jason.
That man is always animated in every picture....too funny.

Me and Forrest hamming it up for the camera. Notice how packed it is the da club...I think it's only like 10:30 pm by this point. Adam is somewhere lurking in the sheer curtains.
Chesternet: do you notice the Burberry plaid????

USF Rugby vs Cal Maritime

The new uniforms are pretty sweet.

I went to my brother's rugby game this afternoon at USF's Negesco Field. They lost to Cal Maritime, but overall it was a pretty good game (we believe it to be the fault of an overzealous dyke-y ref). I mean look at this sweet action shot, who doesn't want to see a bunch of young men practically beating the shit out of each other while running all over a field chasing after a ball? This was a tackle of some sort and the only face I can recognize is Austin's in the upper left, the rest are a blur of arms and legs. I find rugby to be more brutal and honest than football, a "workingman's sport" if you will.

Sam's big ass. That's my brother with the rugby ball.

Notice the super gay length of his shorts. Ususally he wears compression shorts underneath, but not this time. Eileen and I decided that Sam and Austin wear the shortest shorts on the team.

Harp(s): Eileen's stoner dog...just chillin' at the game.
btw - the shirt says "spoiled rotten"

All Hail the Mighty Goose!

Oh the joy! At long last I have found you....my pure gluttonous love.
Foie Gras in the south bay.
Brigitte's Cuisine in Santa Clara serves seared foie gras...with toasts, assorted dried fruits, soaked figs and sea salt. The presentation was beautiful and the flavor...yummy goodness. This place is a true find, a too precious little french restaurant (with real french people) tucked away in a mini-strip mall (next to a 7-eleven) and across the street from the Pruneridge golf course.

I'm definately coming back. Brigitte's may be my new "clubhouse" after a round of golf. Besides, I'd better get my fill of foie gras before those crazy hippies in the North Bay shut down all the local foie gras farmers.

Foie Gras is one of the glorious forms a duck/goose can hope to have...so please...people, drop your damned wheatgrass juice and pick up a slice of yummy livery goodness. The animal protein will do you some good.

Wanting to say a racist war reference...

But I will refrain, since I don't want to offend

But I have to be honest...For some reason, I find this f-ing hilarious

• Maybe it's the combo chinese and korean food? No, no...that's not it. I can get that kind of combo at home, or anywhere in California.
• Maybe it's because this picture was taken in East Lansing, MI by Michigan State University? Hmmmm...possibily. But once again having "Charlie Kang's" in a white bread middle america town stirs war references that some may find insulting...but I find funny.
• Maybe it's because I wonder if Charlie Kang is a long lost uncle of mine? Possibly, because all of us asians are related you know.

It reminds me of a story my friend Vinny once told me:
Vinny: I met this vietnamese guy once whose first name was Charlie and I said "Nice to meet you Charlie...you know we spent an entire war looking for you? And here you are."

Please, I'm begging you...kill me now

super hung over at work...enough said.

Thursday Night Gravity

Who are these hotties????
left to right: Trisha, Me, Vy, Laura and Kelly (front)
We're all chillin in the lounge at Gravity in the Marina for some sort of pre-Valentine's Day singles party. That should have been my first warning because outside of us, everyone was ugly.

Tequila shots for me and Trisha...never a good idea
This is why I don't go out on school nights anymore...

Missing: Same Sex Platonic Wife

Have you seen this person?
I think the SCU Graduate Business School ate her.
This is Molly, my BFF (best friends forever) and I haven't seen her since new year's eve. I needed to post this because I'm so excited that we're finally hanging out again on President's Day!

The Man of My Dreams...

Just in time for Valentine's Day.

Trisha's mom sent each of us "grow-a-dates" in the mail for Valentine's Day. I am not quite sure how I feel about this since, Trisha reports to me....and her mother is trying to set me up with a red rubbery young fellow...who apparently "grows" in water.

Instructions (if only real men came with them too)
Fully immerse the Grow-A-Date om a large container of room temperature water. Allow your Grow-A-Date to remain untouched in the water for several hours or overnight(1) for full growth. Remove Grow-A-Date from the water and it will slowly shrink back to it's original size(2). Product may be used over and over(3).

1. Of course...even when he's fake, we have to wait around for him
2. Hmmmmm...even if we put him in warm water?
3. In one evening or do we have substantial waiting periods?

Now don't get me wrong...I am in no way a "man hater." I love men...I think they are fabulous. Especially when they are all muddy and sweaty from sports (refer to rugby posting). But the instructions for my Grow-A-Date are rather tedious....I'm better off getting a real live breathing date.

Ruck, Scrum, Wow

Left: Team England post win (I think it was the World Cup)
Right: Johnny Wilkinson punking some guy with the ball

Really...there is nothing to this post outside of the fact that rugby is a hot sport...maybe as much as football, and Johnny Wilkinson of England's Newcastle Falcons is pretty hot. Trisha agrees with me. My brother may hate how I am objectifying his sport....who cares

2004 In Review....a Reflection?

I thought about doing a recap of the year...something like an episode of ESPN highlights. I started to look at the various events I attended in 2004 and other special occassions and I found this. Apparently, 2004 was the year that everyone I knew decided to get married.

Some statistics for you:
7 = number of weddings I was invited to in 2004
10+ = number of couples I personally knew who got married in 2004
2 = number of times I was a hottie bridesmaid

So for a recap:
January 10, 2004 - Sam and Sheila - Philipines (not pictured, and I didn't attend)

Mahy 8, 2004 - Robert and Yvonne - San Jose, CA (not pictured and I didn't attend)

May 8, 2004 - SooMin and Dean - Santa Barbara, CA

My friend Soo who I've known since high school got married to Dean, then they both up and moved to Colorado...and now they've bought a house! WOW things sure move fast when you're hitched!

July 10, 2004 - Khanh-Thy and Romero - Monterey, CA

OK...I think the thing that freaked me out the most about this wedding was that I've known the bride since she was in junior high...I will admit, it made me feel strangely old. However, the youngest sister of Linh and Vy does make a lovely bride.

July 17, 2004 - Caroline and Lee - Cape Cod, Mass

That's me and Caroline standing on the deck of her cape house taking the pre-wedding photos. It was my first time in Cape Cod (I LOVED IT) and it was a beautiful wedding...when you get two people together who have large families...the wedding is great fun.

BTW - I make one hottie bridesmaid, so if you're short one BM for your wedding, you can gimmie a ring...at least you'll know your pictures will turn out good.

August 28, 2004 - Nancy and David - Sausalito, CA (I attended but forgot my digital camera)

September 4, 2004 - Debbie and Paul - San Jose, CA

That's Jenni, Michelle and I posing for the camera at the Capital Club in downtown San Jose. Debbie, a college friend of mine got married to Paul...and us lovely ladies were part of the bridal party. These guys helped wrap up my wedding mania of 2004.
Once again - I make a pretty cute bridesmaid

2004 - Anything Else? Hell Yes

After all the talk of weddings, bridal showers, bachelorrette parties and the like, you'd think there wasn't time for anything else in 2004. But fret not my dear, there is still plenty (some of which I don't care to share).

For Example...my little brother finally turned 21

In true TEAMKANG form, I took his punk ass to Vegas...those other hooligans you see in the picture are his friends/teammates/fraternity brothers. It was a fabulous time from what little we all remember....but for awhile, Sam didn't want to go back to Vegas, ever again.
Mission Accomplished.

p.s. my rack looks fabulous in that dress :)

Take me out to the ball game...Yankees vs. A's

You may wonder why this is a memorable experience for 2004. I know it just looks like regular baseball...but it isn't. This is me and Adele sitting at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, 4/19. The stadium was PACKED on a Wednesday night, everyone was cheering for their favorite player and everyone sang during the 7th inning stretch.

I'm not the biggest baseball fan on the planet....but I could definately feel magic in this old stadium.

Greg! Wake Up! Oh nevermind, the Niners still suck

Niners vs. Dolphins game over Thanksgiving weekend with my brother and our friend Greg. Prior to the game, we tailgated with Philip and Kent (BFs from work) and a bunch of Philip's high school friends....drinking bloody marys and margaritas at 10am.

Usually football is a momentous occasion for me, especially with seats like the ones we had...however the Niners sucked big balls during 2004 and Ricky Williams decided he'd rather smoke pot and have an anxiety attack than play like the Heisman Winner he is (what a damn shame). The only saving grace of the day was when Greg passed out during the game and Sam and I got to shove peanuts up his nose.
