<p>금요일 아침: i can't believe that i didn't wake up this morn to hit up the sunnyvale skate park. &nbsp; that does <i>not</i> make me happy. &nbsp; i didn't even stay up really late last nite. &nbsp; i dunno why i ended up sleeping so late. &nbsp; i know the beautiful <a href="http://www.realestatesforcharity.com" target="new">kaela hwang</a> n' i fell asleep in very crooked positions last nite, so maybe that reduced the quality'f our slumbers. &nbsp; furthermore, maybe my body was a li'l tired from prakticing taekwondo in this sort'f hot weather. &nbsp; also, i feel like i'm coming down w/ a cold or sumpthin'. &nbsp; my nose was a li'l congested 2day, n' i coughed up a li'l bit'f nasty stuff in the morn. &nbsp; my throat feels <i>a li'l</i> weird. &nbsp; i don't necessarily feel <i>really</i> relaxed. &nbsp; i've always noticed that the left side'f my body usually suffers more ailments n' injuries than my right side. &nbsp; <i>however</i>, these past couple'f days, i've been battling tendonitis in my rt thumb that arose from carrying 2 many $hopping bags on sun afternoon/evening n' bad wrist probs on my rt wrist, which comes from office werk / mousing as well as from prakticing self defense thingies in taekwondo class on tues.
<p>[later] last nite, on the <a href="http://www.nbc11.com" target="new">nbc 11</a> news, [interrupted, later] i heard that gas'll reach $4/gal by the end'f this summer. &nbsp; i dunno if they were talkin' 'bout just sf or the entire bay area or what. &nbsp; neway, i'm glad that i bought us our bikes... transportation, u know?
<p>dude, i really need some noise cancelling headfons. &nbsp; <tt>>:-(</tt> some ppl r so disrespektful n' talk so loudly in their cubicles. argh! &nbsp; i wonder if i should just wear earplugs or what. &nbsp; it's <i>sooo</i> 1) distrakting n' 2) annoying.
<p>[later] 2nite, i'm s'pposed to take duk n' yuna out to dinner 4 all their soonisitting. &nbsp; also, kaela mentioned that she'd like to watch a movie. &nbsp; which movie? &nbsp; out'f what's playing @ amc mercado 20... <i>cars</i>, <i>pirates of the caribbean: dead man's chest</i> (altho' we didn't watch the 1st 1 but should've!), <i>x.men: the last stand</i> (despite luke warm reviews from friends), <i>click</i> (appealing to the [neo]yuppie crowd), <i>the devil wears prada</i> (a movie that kaela really wants to watch n' i don't mind watching; the obviousl chick flick choice), <i>the lake house</i> (should i support this imitation'f <i>시월애 shiwuhlae / il mare</i> or boycott it?), <i>nacho libre</i> (the obvious "guy" flick choice), <i>superman returns</i> (prob'ly the most popular movie out rt now), <i>you, me, and dupree</i> (the obvious romantik comedy, date flick choice).
<ul>funny...
<li>chick flick = <i>the devil wears prada</i></li>
<li>guy flick = <i>nacho libre</i></li>
<li>date flick = <i>you, me, and dupree</i></li></ul>
<p>well, i guess this wknd's kaela's n' my 3rd wedding anniversary wknd. &nbsp; to celebrate, 2morrow, we'll go to the hayes mansion in east san jo to do some spa resort package dealio... like couples massage, dinner, etc. &nbsp; we'll aktually stay overnite even tho' the facility's in san jo. &nbsp; kind'f weird, but oh well... &nbsp; i dunno if u 'member, but 4 last <font color="#550000">christ</font><font color="#005500">mas</font>, kaela used her &cent;redit &cent;ard rewards program to give me a <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=hFit*7DqwsE&offerid=89884.10000304&type=3&subid=0" target="new">spafinder.com</a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=hFit*7DqwsE&bids=89884.10000304&type=3&subid=0" > gift certificate. &nbsp; well, we're &cent;a$hing in the gift certificate to celebrate our anniversary. &nbsp; i feel bad that this sounds kind'f cheesy, that i've done better anniversary celebrations in the past 2 yrs (0.5 moon bay ritz carlton 4 our 1st, monterey / hearst castle 4 our 2nd); but i told kaela that we really need to $ave up $$$ n' vakation time to take a <i>real</i> vakation someday. &nbsp; <i>ideally</i> i'd like to take a trip to both <font color="#005500">tai</font><font color="#ff9900">wan</font> n' <font color="#770000">ko</font><font color="#000099">rea</font> this winter, but... *shrug* i dunno, man... &nbsp; we've also gotta someday travel to europa. &nbsp; when'll that <i>ever</i> happen? &nbsp; if i ever get to take kaela to europe, tho'; we'll need to $pend a lot'f $$$ cos i can't let her stay in &cent;heap lodging. &nbsp; she'll freak out. &nbsp; i went to england n' scotland in 1993, so i know that facilities in europe can often be older than those in the u.s. n' aktually europe doesn't cm as <i>clean</i> as most places we go in the u.s. &nbsp; so, when we finally go to europe, i've gotta shell out big bu&cent;k$ n' make sure i got <i>nice</i> lodging 4 us. *sigh* man, other ppl get to travel so much. &nbsp; me? not really. &nbsp; *sigh* i just hope to do more snowboarding this upcoming season than last. *sigh* then 'gain gas is so expen$ive now. grrr! the sunnyvale skate park is still free. &nbsp; someday, i ought to strap my skateboard to my piper gear boardsports backpack n' ride my bike over to the sunnyvale skate park n' ride 4 a while n' bike home. &nbsp; that'd be kewl. &nbsp; 1 awful thing 'bout biking tho's that i can't bring sooni. &nbsp; well, i saw in a doggy magazine some device, a metal bar, that helps keep ur dog safe as he/she runs alongside ur bike. &nbsp; i 'member 'twas overpri&cent;ed. &nbsp; what if i got sooni some kind'f trailer to ride in? &nbsp; ha ha... dunno man.
