May 29: Multi-Party Madness (via KaYoTiK)

Busy Saturday! After running some errands, Brian and I hit up the Contreras household for a little going-away party for David before he left for the Philippines to complete nursing school. Thanks for the invite. We'll see you around the holidays David!

After that, we headed to the Mapara house for Pooja and Suraj's engagement party. I've known Pooj since 1st grade (alright we're not re-creating the Sweet 16 speech) and Suraj is one-third of the Third Period Short Day crew. Congratulations guys! I can't wait for the wedding next year.

Thanks for the blog Brian. What's "blog-jomo" all about?

What One's Eating: May 25 Gyu-Kaku, Pasadena

After the Lakers' loss (booo!), I headed up to LA to meet up with Jenn, DJ Mark Marcelo (yeah I'm using your DJ name), Stacy, and James for Japanese BBQ. Jenn's been dying to go to Gyu-Kaku for their great food and happy hour. Stacy and James are apparently major regulars and have a club card?! You kids are ca-razy. Combine a 25% off coupon, and Stacy's $25 credits, this had to be one of the cheapest baller meals I ever had!

Some Nujabes for the background.

Nujabes - Aruarian dance by keneda999



Bottles of nigori for $5? 2 please!!


Pitchers of Sapporo for $7.50? 2 please!! (Oh yes. We got wasted.)


So I learned two new things.
Jenn: You're not supposed to pour your own sake. It's bad luck or something.
Mark: I heard you have to make eye contact when you toast, otherwise it leads to bad sex or something. (Which lead to this question.)
CHEERS! ::intense eye contact::



Once a table cleared up we sat down and got down to grillin'.

Stacy x James.


Chipmunk Jenn x Mark aka the fobs! (No not really. Well I'm not sure about Jiji Jeehee...(damn sorry for misspelling that fob!))


Kalbi beef chuck. This was the "cheap" stuff and it was BI-BIM-BOMB! I really love the sauces they provided too. Marinated sex in my mouth.



Cream cheese and seaweed. Pretty good!


And this black sesame ice cream was BI-BIM-BOMB TOO!


I pulled an Alvin, and closed my eyes and took my first bite. Yummmm....


The only issue was that they slipped up on our order and forgot to bring a few plates out. So we got a pitcher on the house! Nice!!


More toasts. More eye contact.




James is a king...


...with a thizz face.


Was this the animal porn discussion?


What a random good night out on a Tuesday night.

Kanye West - Power (ft Dwele)

This is the first single off of Kanye's album Good Ass Job. There have been talks of Kanye going back to his style pre-808's, but I didn't see this coming. This sh*t bangs! This song is expected to be available on iTunes on June 8th. Check out Miss Info's page for more... info.
