...and a Star In the skies 4am, 12/27/2010














A perfect life lived... A role model, and a man of great words and wisdom that I will never forget. The A's and the Niners wont be the same with out your rooting (yelling hehehe) for them. amongst so much else that would be impossible to list everything, You are the best Jichan or Grandfather anyone could have ever asked for. thank y0u for everything. I will Always love and miss you, as will my Beloved Mimi <3

Can someone give me my truck back already!?!?!??!!

So my truck got locked up.... Mtn View popos took it away last week. Thnx officer Wong! You made my xmas the best ever!




So I go to the Police department to figure things out and find out what I need to do, and possibly get my truck out. Me and Mimi spoke with a younger white lady who seemed very helpful and friendly. My moving permit date had not yet been valid because I had come a day early. But at First she tells me that I can get my truck released on the basis that it must be towed home out of the tow yard. that Was a few days ago. So I go there today all happy and ready to get my beloved truck back, but noooo....... the fat lady with all this attitude had to be fat with attitude. She marched around and asked who told me that i could get my truck out as long as I paid and towed the truck home. Me and mImI pointed out the white girl that had spoke with us. And then she started to deny it all! Tellin me she has never seen nor talked to me in her life before... straight puttin up a front.... hella talking to me with a lot of attitude and being very defensive (probably to cover her ass from getting in trouble for tellin me some wrong information the other day...)

anyways we left and went to the DMV and waited to get a new moving permit which the lady at the counter didnt want to give me at first.... reluctantly she gave me a pass for one day saying strictly "this is the last one Im going to give you." Long story short we got the new permit for one day (today Dec. 23), but I couldnt go back to the Police station because I was already late for work. So I decided that I would go after work because I was told that the police department (the part of it that I was dealing with) was open 24/7.

So after work, once again happy and ready to get my truck out, me and MiMi go to the police station, only to find it dark and closed. I spoke on the intercom with someone who told me that it is not open 24/7, not at least for the department I needed to deal with. And once again this lady says "who told you that? Im not sure why they said that but thats wrong." So once again I come home and my truck stays... Another $50 Ill be charged for no reason...





Dear Mountain View Police Department... Please train your workers to get their information straight! And please work on your customer service skills...(Im looking at you fat lady and white Beezy).

Dear DMV - Ur Stupid.

















DMV - $335
MVPD - $150
Dunn's Towing - $165 (towing fee) + $50 (per day)

....This is getting real pricey....

this past couple weeks (last week for sure). sucked. some stuff happen. hearts broken. non-sense. stupid people, dis-believable events....I hope it to be over, and i feel that they are. things are starting to smooth out again. Although some things maybe lost, but others will be gained in the near future. I wish I could share the story with all, but to some I must keep quiet. Thank you to those who helped me. you know who you are. :D






















my heart is healing^^







oh yah. there was a mouse in my house that got trapped in a trapped then sticked with a stick. :)

Definition of pain

Russell

so true

I took this quote from the facebook page of Carolyn Kanzaki:

“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”

Im not sure exactly if i get the meaning. but who cares. I have a meaning, at least what I think the meaning is, and thats what matters, if that makes any sense. For what i think it is, I feel very true and I think it gives me a little inspiration for the pain I am in.

Naked 610 wagon

Found a picture on my computer of my wagon as it was being wired with the painless wiring kit.

no seats, no carpet, no dash, no a lot of things.

McDonald's Not so happy meal...

maan so tonight me and the meemz went to McDonalds for some happy meal maddness and some watch hunting shenanigans.

They got these Hello Kitty watches that Im tryin to get a hold of. So today after work mimi came over and off we went to go hit a few stores and see what we could find. We ended up at the 24HR drive through on Lawrence expressway, and we found a few watches that we didnt have and wanted. (we actually bought the last ones they had for the day) (2 hello kitty, 3 choco cats). anyhoo, long story short the worker asked me if i wanted a 3 piece or 6 piece nugget meal, and I was confused.... where was the 4 piece?!??!? well we paid and got out food, and as i parked to eat, I looked in the happy meal box and first thing I noticed was a bag of apple dipper thingies in there... I was confused.. when did they start putting those in there? so i moved those aside and pulled out my chicken nuggets... the box was small and it really was just a 3 piece nugget...... what has this world come to???





















...Not cool :(

...and they didnt even give me my honey mustard sauce, and they charged me for a Large coke... McDonalds is straight scammin people now!



... and dont even get my started with the french fry size!!!!!!

All I want for Xmas...

63 impala.

Its definitly not a tight car if its not a 97 Type R

this car I owned for almost a year. Some lady hit me and i went over a curb and a small grass thingy, and into a parking lot. sucked... anyways ways. Masumi emailed me some old pictures he had come across, and here they are :D

I sold this car and my lexus to get my Type R... I wish I kept the civic....

Here's my wagon :)

I havent really posted any pix of my wagon, but today i came across one that someone took at JCCS.

















its too bad my wagon has no wipers, a dead battery, and bird poop on the roof... other wise id would have driven it today to work. Instead I mobbed the Truck :D

Minty food fan page

looked around on facebook and I came across a food fan page that is created and done by a customer I met at Yuki. I found on her page some preposterous photos of some sushi i had made.... I wish she told me that she was gunna take pictures before I made the food so I could have done it a little more presentable... :( I promise it tastes good though. And next order something fancy!

Esmeralds's Prophecies @ Disneyland

The fortune telling lady at Disneyland sure knows her stuff. Grayson once warned me that he goes there and gets his forture told everytime and that evertime he gets it, its true.... and the funny thing is, that this was my first time getting it... and pretty much the whole thing was true! scary huh... i think I got this 2 years ago or so.. maybe 1.5 years ago.. anyways I just came across it, and thought it was kinda funny... funny but scary...

GOING TO DISNEYLAND IN 4 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

got up and went to work. left Sunnyvale at 6:30ish AM.

The Truck parked in front of work this morning at 7:15 am in SF.














Cut some stuff for the daytime/weekday/during open time crew


















Cruised over to SFwekfest in Japantown for a little bit to kick it with Jonny for a minute, and Justin, Andrew, Troy, David, and others for a little while. Surprisingly there was like a million people attending. way more than I expected. My stay was short since I parked at safeway, and I wasnt tryin to get all ticketed up.

$15 admission, $10 with a flier, free and early admission if you jump the handrails while they arent looking :D






























Saw this sweet VIP car. Last time I saw him, he made a funny comment about my Wheels... He said, "Yah I was going to get Work Rezax, but they didnt come in my offset..."

















after all that nonsense, we went out of the garage/car show area, and ppl went potty. We went outside and kicked it for a minute and Aya showed up. Justin wanted to show Aya the show (show the show lol.. IDK i thought it was funny) so everyone wandered their way back to the show, and I decided it was time for me to part with them. I said my good byes and walked back to my truck laffing at all the people standing and waiting in line to get into the show.

i had a nice drive home in the beautiful weather. I took a 2 hour nap, and later ate some food and did homework with mIMi. oh and Downloaded some music... and wrote this blog...
