Friday was nasty. It sprinkled at some parts of LA and as always, traffic was a bitch everywhere.
Kate and I ate ramen at Little Tokyo after checking out Kinukoniya bookstore. We headed to Monterey Park to check out a Japanese bookstore/video store and I dropped her off at the USC campus after.
I spent the whole Saturday with
Karen and Carlo. It was still gloomy and breezy but we didn't have a clue what to do so we ended up going to Venice Beach. We stopped at Mitsuwa to eat lunch. Karen bought a djembe drum and I got myself a Hookah pipe. Went to Burbank to check out sheds for Karen's backyard. I shoved her inside a shed for a
The Shining snap. But she got scared so it turned out like
this. Drove back to Long Beach that night.
Sunday, ate at DJ Bibingkahan in Cerritos. Stopped by Costa Mesa to get my T&T school calendar and headed back to San Diego. I was really tired that weekend. I didn't get much sleep inspite of
Rico's mellow voice singing to me. Auntie Evelyn said 'namamahay' daw ako. Plus, I don't have
Stitch with me so I didn't have anything to hug.
I'm going with Satomi, Melanie and hopefully Eileen to see
The Sounds tonight. They opened for
The Strokes (or
THIS since the official homepage doesnt work) last year? 2 years ago. Speaking of The Strokes, I'll see them in 8 days at Rimac. I can't wait! Then, I'll see TV on the Radio next month.
Note to self: play with bass guitar. it's getting rusty. you're getting rusty.
at the Little Tokyo restroom. I don't know if it's real or just plastic
At Venice and on the way home
My hookah pipe and apple-flavored tobacco (i'm not a regular smoker, just occasional hookah nights with the girls)
