¿ù¿äÀÏ ¾Æħ: i didn't update over the wknd, n' i guess 'twas a decently packed wknd; thus i think i need to switch into outline 4mat:

• ¸ñ¿äÀÏ, 06¿ù29ÀÏ
• in the morn, b4 werk, i went to the sunnyvale skate park, didn't i?
• Á¡½É (lunchtime): the beautiful kaela hwang picked me up in her kia sportage w/ sooni, n' we ate @ athena grill on space park in santa clara.   that place is always full'f ppl from my company.   while kaela waited outside @ a table w/ sooni, i ordered her a portabello shroom sandwich n' 4 me a gyros sandwich, just to compare n' contrast w/ those from yiasoo.   honestly, i like yiasoo better, in gen'l; but this place is much closer.
• in the early evening, i had to go straight from werk to űǵµÀå the taekwondojang to teach our white belts n' then do sparring praktice.   kaela n' sooni met me there.   after praktice, kaela n' i went out w/ ernest n' tiffany to sushi o sushi.
• we watched 1'f the last episodes'f the famous korean drama ´ëÀå±Ý daejanggeum.   kaela's been following it much more closely than i have, but i miss korean tv.
• ±Ý¿äÀÏ, 06¿ù30ÀÏ
• in the morn, b4 werk, i went to the sunnyvale skate park.   i fell on my hip; but it wasn't 2 bad.
• during lunchtime, i went to the turbo kick box (tkb) class @ the east arques 24 hour fitness.   we had a substitute teacher.   her name was like barani or sumpthin'.   it was an ok werkout, n' i wanted to push myself a li'l, figuring i wouldn't get much exercise over the wknd but would eat plenty.
• after werk, kaela n i went to valley fair to do some b.day present $hopping.   i wanted to $hop 'round more 4 my own stuff, but we didn't.   i think kaela'd gone to valley fair a few times last wk, so she wasn't so eager to $hop.   me, on the otherhand; i wanted to $hop but didn't get the chance.   oh well.
• we ate a huge feast'f a dinner @ the cheesecake faktory.
• tamale corn cakes (3 pieces, $8.50 or so?)
• vietnamese shrimp spring rolls (3 or 4 pieces $8.50 or so?)
• thai spicy steak salad (just plain huge! $13.95 or so?)
• some fruity ice tea 4 kaela n' a hefeweizen 4 me
• we considered going out to a movie but then decided instead to head over to blockbuster to rent some movies cos i had a printed out online ¢oupon.   we rented 4 movies cos there was also a 3 movies 4 $9.99 deal 4 the 4jx2006 wknd.
• eight below
• walk the line
• the chronicles of narnia: the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe
• Áßµ¶ joongdok / addicted (Çѱ¹ ¿µÈ­ korean movie)
• we sort'f watched eight below, but i was so sleepytired that i fell asleep almost rt 'way.
• Åä¿äÀÏ, 07¿ù01ÀÏ
• in the early morn, i went to the sunnyvale skate park n' had a good time.
• this wk, i've beeen prakticing dropping in on vert.
• 'twas fun, of course.   i rode the shallow 0.5pipe area a bit.   there, i can manage to pump myself back up to the coping 1nce or maybe even 2ice after dropping in.   there's this 1 older skate guru type; this asian guy name dave... sort'f a Çü hyung to the younger skaters.   he's a really nice guy n' a posi+ive role model type.   he was telling me that i'm pretty much pulling off backside smith grinds.   i guess i sometimes do manage to do it.   i should werk on those.   do u know what a smith grind is?   it's grinding on the back truck, while letting the front end of ur board hang down to the side.
• [dude, it's now 2006³â07¿ù05ÀÏ, ¼ö¿äÀÏ: i'm starting to 4get the past wknd]
• i skated a while, n' as i was leaving i saw that mormon family entering.
• well, on sat; roland visited us from berkeley/albany.
• 1st off, the 3'f us went to Çѱ¹ ¸¶ÄÏ hangook market to do some gro¢ery $hopping.
• while kaela cooked lunch 4 us (roland's b.day lunch), roland n' i watched eight below on my laptop outside on the patio.   ah, outdoor living!   eight below was a really kewl movie!
• kaela cooked up a feast: ±è¹ä kimbap, ¹Ì¿ª±¹ miyuhkgook (b.day soup), sashimi...   what a feast!   we also ate some delicious ¶± dduhk that we bought from Çѱ¹ ¸¶ÄÏ hangook market.
• after lunch, we went to planet granite to do some indoor rock climbing.   we took a belaying class 1st.   it was all very fun.   i could only climb like 5.7 or 5.8 walls.   i like clmibing fast n' then coming down.   my favourite part is coming down.   i'm aktually not all that motivated to try harder walls; i just want to climb fast n' come down.   i was explaining to kaela recently how that's like snowboarding 4 me: i don't necessarily need to do "harder" runs w/ moguls n' deep powder; i'd rather get a nice groomed black diamond n' bullet down.   i was telling roland how it scared me that i liked rock climbing so much.   i don't necessarily wanna get addikted cos it's not ¢heap.   i think it ¢o$ts $17/day @ planet granite.   well, that's ¢heaper than a snowboarding lift tic; much ¢heaper.   *sigh* going to the skate park's also ¢heaper than buying a lift tic; since it's plain free.
• neay, after clmbing, we went to dinner @ ÁêÁêºñ jujubee.   we ate °¨ÀÚÅÁ gamjatang, °ñ¹ðÀÌ ¹«Ä§ golbaengi moochim, n' Åë´ß tongdalk.
• then we went back to our house, took a walk w/ sooni to blockbuster to return eight below n' watched walk the line   'twas a pretty good movie, but it's not like i was ever a great fan'f johnny ¢a$h.   in hi skool, i really liked social distortion's cover of "ring of fire."   i miss that song.
• ÀÏ¿äÀÏ (¾îÁ¦), 07¿ù02ÀÏ
• i woke up somewhat early, skipped the skate park, n' went to grx's mobile chuch site @ the santa clara marriott to help set up kidzone.
• then i returned home to try unsuccessfully to wake up kaela.
• i ended up going to church by myself.
• later, i picked up kaela n' we met up w/ our friends jane n' darien 4 a brunch double date @ ihop on great amerika parkway.   i had some really tasty harvest grain pancakes ($6.99), but the ham slice that i added as a side was a major ripoff @ $2.99!   i'm djing jane n' darien's wedding in oktober.   during our brunch, i confirmed w/ jane that i was indeed her tayl (taiwanese.amerikan youth leadership) camp counselor a long time 'go.   funny.
• after brunch, kaela n' i stopped by home to pick up sooni n' then went to the sports basement to make a $hopping list 4 2nite's (07¿ù05ÀÏ) "$hopping party."   we picked out some bikes.
• then we dropped sooni off @ home n' went to our friends maryann n' topher's house 4 topher's b.day bbq.   ah, lots'f good fud n' lots'f pregnant couples!   2wards the end'f the nite we noticed that the crowd'd separated into pregnant couples n' non.pregnant couples.   neway, we had a good time.
• hrm, what happened after kaela n' i came home?   i don't 'member.
• ¿ù¿äÀÏ (¿À´Ã), 07¿ù03ÀÏ
• i woke up early, took out the trash, n' then went late to may's turbo kick box (tkb) class @ the east arques 24 hour fitness in sunnyvale.
• then i went to werk.   @ lunchtime, i went home 4 lunch to eat some really tasty leftovers.   it was quite an extravagant lunch'f leftovers.
• the office was relatively quiet n' empty cos most ppl took the day off.
• @ dinner time, kaela cooked some pasta.
• we watched Áßµ¶ joongdok / addicted, which was honestly just ok.   u wanna hear sumpthin' kind'f funny/interesting.   i aktually kind'f fell asleep during the "love" scene.   *shrug* yah, u'd think most ppl'd stay awak to watch a steamy $3x scene, but yah... i honestly kind'f dozed off.   since i wake up early to exercise (or skate) or do church stuff, it's hard 4 me to stay up.
• ¿ù¿äÀÏ, (4jx2006) 07¿ù04ÀÏ
• well, originally, i wantd to hit up the sunnyvale skate park 4 a 4jx2006 morning sesh, but i didn't.   not only did i worry 'bout the weekly maintenance closure (which prob'ly didn't happen on the holiday), but i just couldn't wake up.   i slept in till 700a, which is really "sleeping in" 4 me these days!
• well, we packed up our car n' headed 2 seacliff state beach in aptos, ca just south'f santa cruz.   i'd marinated some ¸Å¿î´ß maeoon dalk n' some ´ß¶ËÁý dalkddongjip.
• wow, what a fun day w/ our taekwondo friends in the sun.   2 much sun!   kaela got burnt badly!   we played volleyball n' soccer.   i rarely play team sports, so it was a slightly refreshing change from my normal routine.   we ate so much!   it was a decently well executed beach trip!
• after kaela n' i came home, unpacked, n' showered; we tried to watch the chronicles of narnia: the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe but couldn't stay awake.   we'll try again 2nite.
• ¿ù¿äÀÏ, 07¿ù05ÀÏ
• well, i woke up somewhat on time n' hit up the sunnyvale skate park.

¼ö¿äÀÏ ¾Æħ: so we'll be in vegas this wknd 4 jeanna's wedding.   she made this itinerary 4 us, which is kind'f optional; but it includes a bunch'f buffets.   dude, after this past few days, i really shouldn't be eating so much.   i dunno, man.   i've found some 24 hour fitness locations in las vegas.   i just wonder which 1's the closest 4 us.   i really ought to pack gym stuff, rt?   dude, it's gonna be soooo hot.   i'm not looking 4ward to the heat.   as i've sed time n' time 'gain; i'm not a huge fan'f vegas in gen'l.   it just cms so... not in tune w/ my ethiks... not like i'm such a holy man or nething, but that i think a person ought 'least to try.   neway... as i've also sed over n' over 'gain, i'll try to have fun this wknd.   i'll eat, but i'd surely like to get exercise.   *sigh* it's gonna be hot.   i don't normally wear shorts, but i'm considering buy a pair'f shorts @ the sports basement 2nite.   [later] did i ever get to talk 'bout the sports basement $hopping party 2nite?   well, a few wks 'go, when i bought my skateboarding helmet, i dropped my bizness card into a bucket (aktually an artillery shell) 4 a drawing.   apparently, i "won" a "shopping party" 4 my friends: free chips, dip, bier, n' soda along w/ a 20% off di$¢ount on everything in the store.   kaela n' i plan to buy bikes.   we have like 25 friends, mostly cowerkers, coming.   hopefully, it'll be fun.   i'm missing will's turbo kick box (tkb) class @ the east arques 24 hour fitness 4 this.   i'll prob'ly miss next wk's class to cook dinner 4 our friends joanie n' mike who just had a baby boy named riley.   the wk after that's kaela's n' my 3rd wedding anniversary.   wow, that's like a whole month w/o will's tkb class. ha ha.   *sigh* i guess i still hope to stay in shape by going to the other tkb classes, doing real taekwondo, n' skating (skateboarding).   when'll my elbow pads get here?

[later] Àú³áÀÌÁö¸¸ ¾ÆÁ÷µµ Á÷Àå¿¡ ÀÖ¾î¿ä: 2morrow evening, duk'll give us a ride to the aeroport n' then watch our house n' sooni.   [later] 2day, @ the sunnyvale skate park, i had a thought: maybe, in order to pump better n' thus get higher out'f the bowl, i need to approach the coping @ more'f an angle n' still come back down straight.   maybe that'll help me.   maybe approaching the transition @ straight on is slowing me down.   i guess that has been my problem w/ backside turns on snowboard 0.5pipes.   in snowbaording or while snowboarding, in 0.5pipes, i can do ok w/ my frontside turns n' airs, while i often get stuck, lose speed, etc. on my backside turn.   it's odd tho' that my 1st taste'f vertical air was a backside air off a 0.25pipe @ squaw.   i just bombed down the slope @ the end'f a terrain park, i went up the 0.25pipe, caught air, n' just instinktively did my 180 to re.enter.   i just did what i'd always cn in videos, u know?   my re.entry was ok 'cept i didn't keep my board upright 'nuff.   i think that's a common mistake.   i kind'f came down 2 flat, on my tail.   however, i rode it out fine.   uhm, i think on a skateboard, if ne1 were to do that, they'd have a hard time recovering n'd prob'ly bail.
