Ahhh rest day.
Louie, Ernie, and I had lunch at Fogo de Chao right here on Westheimer and Dunvale. None of us had ever eaten here before and I heard it was pricey but honestly during their lunch hour from 11-2pm... its about $35 a plate in comparison to $50 at dinner... It reminded me alot of the meat and cooking style back in Chile. Very tender and slow cooked meat.... a must for protein lovers. They also give you sides such as mash potato, biscuits and veggies. Louie was all about this place since he is trying to gain weight...so what da hell i was doing there i dunno. lol. 
Took my cousin Louie out yesterday to visit the Improv.... the headliner was Jo Koy... u guys probably seen his video on my myspace page.... freakin hilarious he is.... he spotted our table real quick and the filipino jokes came rollin out! hahhhah He is here until Sunday so i highly recommend you go check him out at the Improv in the Marquee Center! We were all like "ssssst! hoy!!" to have him come take this pic with us. It's tight how he went around thanking all those who came out.. not many comics do that =) Hooray por Orange Chicken!!! lol
Yaaaay!!!
My first Bond movie ever.
President F.D. Roosevelt - 8th December 1941
I have been wanting to make the post since the day I came back from Hawaii. What better way to do it than on the actual day 65 years ago. I gained knowledge ....more knowledge about Pearl Harbor by visiting the memorial instead of hearing about it in school. I was honestly shocked because I just did not know half of what was told to me. My basic idea was the Japs came and bombed Pearl Harbor and that started World War II. That's it.
I hope you truly take the time to read this blog and look at the pictures I took.
Did you know the memorial is built on top of the actual battleship called the U.S.S Arizona and inside there are over 900 Men, Women and Children...dead bodies floating in that ship which could not be recovered?? (All the rust you see in the pictures is the actual ship itself below the water.) It is a living memorial. Still until this day...oil seeps out of the ship below sea and you see it rise to the surface and you can smell it too (as in the pics). They say it is the tears of those below. I honestly had chills standing inside the memorial. If you notice the memorial (white building) it is in a bowed shape...the middle part bows down to represent the downfall and suffering and the two rised ends represent our nation before and after the attacks...always strong and moving forward. Now that I have visited the site.... speechless.... I mean not to compare to 9/11 yet I think this threw most people out of their daily rituals.
December 7, 1941 the day began routinely...Sailors and Marines turned out for church services, chores, and chow. They looked forward to off-duty time for recreation, letter-writing, or sleep. The Navy had been preparing for war - but never a massive air attack. Unknown to the Americans more than 350 Japanese Planes were headed this way from aircraft carriers north of the island, while Japanese midget submarines probed harbor defenses. (you can see this in the model picture of the ship carrying the planes) At 7:55 a.m. the first wave of enemy planes appeared overhead, just as American Sailors and Marines assembled on their vessels to raise the "Stars and Stripes"...attacks continued until 10am that morning with a 15 minute lull time around 8:30. The Japanese settled on what is known as "Battleship Row" which was 7 American battleships lined up against the docks. At about 8:10 am the Arizona was mortally wounded by an armor piercing bomb, which ignited the ship's forward Ammunition magazine. The resulting explosion and fire killed 1,177 crewmen, in 9 minutes... the greatest loss of life on any ship that day and about half the total number of Americans killed.
I hope you have gained more of an insight into this day. If you get a chance to go to Oahu make the time to pay your respects. They bring you out on a ferry boat to the memorial and the silence itself is enough to have you meditating on the events which took place that day.
Niiiice. Went out with Kiss this weekend. hahahhah Actually Shine had cousins come into town and we hit up that Club Crome on West Alabama.... nice spot good booty music on Saturdays. Ummm that would be 4 shots that night and 4 coronas... must keep a well balanced diet hahahhah geez seriously all these blogs about going out lately.... honestly its to keep me busy... my man is in Hawaii and i'm not trying to sit at home and think about the distance... u know? Thats my justification and I'm sticking to it!
Oh so back to my story.... i rolled up to Crome with Jamuna and Shine and cousins and from the second i walk into the club my phone is going haywire with text messages between the guys I chilled with on Friday night (thats another story) and Jewell who is about to go DJ in Hawaii and wants to know my special requests hahhaha so then it totally looks like i'm not having fun cuz i'm texting and calling while the music is bumping like crazy and everyone is dancing. Freakin electronic leashes those cell phones are! And the guys...they decided to sell me out and go to Epic in downtown instead and are convincing me to come with which i wasn't about to do. Finally i decided to get shots with Shine and his cousins and get a good buzz going only to have a second wave of text messages come through on my phone. lol. turns out they all decided to come down to Crome... yay!!
Had fun conversation with Pranav, Nadeem, Zishan, Dullah, Haythem and two guys I never got around to introducing myself to. hahhaha supposedly Cash Money came through...Mannie Fresh... and only Pranav knew that hahahah he was like "Hey!! its mannie!!" hahahhahah
Anyways why the crazy pic of Dullah and his hookah??? 2 reasons...the main one being that wow i actually did not take pics of going out.....and two....cuz we went back to his place and smoked some..correction I didnt because i was really buzzing hard and talking too much but he and Z did. I've tried the apple flavor before ...great stuff! There will be a next time!! hahahha yah we didn't end up leaving Dullah's place until 5am.... taco bell, hookah, and gatorade...crazy combo.... We liked to call this Part 2 of last Friday's adventure....the saga continues.....
Look what Ernie found!!! heehee.... mind you it was already really cold outside and Ernie comes running in saying he found a parakeet. Turns out this little ferocious creature was walking by his truck. i say ferocious cuz he bit me like 100 times already. Ernie didn't want him though and I couldn't put it back outside so he's my little friend. It could be a she but unless u know how or maybe you want to peek under feathers - i don't want to hear it.
