Okinawa Potato & Stupid Printer

Ooooh~~ I hate printers... Why would they have an option for "single paper feed" if it's not going to work?? ARggggh!!! I'm spending too much time trying to print things that it's extremely frustrating. For a $500 printer, this Epson Printer sucks. Why can't it just work!!! T_________T

Okinawa sweet purple Potato is pretty tasty...

Pailin Modeling

This is a little update on Pailin. Here are some photos from her photoshoot in Street Egazine Issue 6. I love the colors of these photos ^_^.

Fanime 2008

I stopped by Fanime Con to visit a few friends. Audra came all the way from Hawaii. I also haven't seen PMBQ, Jeannie, Elda, and the rest of the Gaians in a while, so I thought it's good to stop by to say hi.

Oooh Look Jen and Andre. Everyone kept checking out their abs... lol Gaia artists are sexy, aren't they?


Our friend's booths:

Mitsuwa Food Fair

Mitsuwa had a japanese food fair. The market is only about 7 min from my house, so I stopped by. They had people making Takoyaki, Lapoppo Potato Apple Pie, Sushi, etc. I also had a bowl of Shinasoba Ramen. The guy kept yelling "Yokohama Ramen, Yokohama Ramen. 3 Days only Yokohama Ramen" and eventually, it kind of brainwashed you into buying one.

Working ...

ARgghhhh 12 more to go



and.. they usually don't get along too well, but since it's cold, they decided to cuddle up next to each others. Awwww *rare moment*

Ironman

Did you guys go watch it yet? I really liked it.

Oh, I worked on the comic cover Issue #69 *feels all special* XD

Yogurt and Ducks

Cafe Aroma has a very addicting Yogurt Shaved Ice bowl. Maybe it's the Mochi...

and on the way home, I ran into a DuckXing Sign. I did have to stop for a duck that was crossing the road. lol

Mini Watermelon

Death By Chocolate 2008

Sunny, James, Pailin, and I took a trip to Napa for the Death by Chocolate Event at Copia. We are definitely going back next year! It really is like a chocolate land. A lot of small and large chocolate company goes and gives out free chocolate samples (in forms of chocolate pieces, cakes, ice cream, etc.). I really liked Patchi Chocolates. I also think Askinosie had really cool packaging. There were a few giant chocolate fountains around for all you can eat fondue as well.


They also had a Chocolate tasting class by Gary Guittard. I love Guittard chocolates. I only bake with Guittard chocolates, so I was extra happy to stop by his class. It was very educational. He really knows everything about chocolates. Then went to watch Chef Claire Clark's demonstration. She is the head pastry chef of the French Laundry. We also got to sample some of her desserts. Seriously, she has some sort of a magic touch. She used her hand to make everything (no tools), and they just came together and form amazingly tasty desserts. We really didn't want to touch anymore chocolates for a while by the end of the day. x_x .. but I was so happy.

Mom and Sister

Mom and Pailin came to visit. We went to San Francisco. They especially loved the Ghiradelli Chocolate Sundae Ice cream. We also made chocolate covered strawberries. My mom is an amazing cook. She really can cut vegetables like those chefs that you see on TV (super fast) lol. I'm so happy that they came. I miss them so much.

Kooza

Josh, Jodi, Saka, and me went to watch Kooza today. It was good. I think my favorite is still Varekai though. I also liked Corteo. I like Cirque de Soliel ^^. They don't allow you to take any pictures in the theater, so no pics T_T.

Injured Hedgehogs

I was looking for animals references for the job that I'm working on and I ran into.. *gasp*..... cuteness.




Original images were found here.
