Ushering in the new year
Sorry for the lack of posts. Now that I am required to put in 55+ hours at work from now to April, I highly doubt I will be prolific with my posts.
December was just a whirlwind of activity, ranging from various family events and gatherings held by groups of friends. The last week of December was particularly jam packed with events, filled with birthday parties for Hubby‘s aunt and grandmother, an outing to a Warrior‘s game with hubby’s immediate and extended family, and dinners with a number of friends who are back home in the Bay Area for the holidays.
Tired of trekking to a crowded and overpriced bar or club for an anticlimactic new year‘s eve celebration, hubby and I were originally going to enjoy a quiet night at home. Our friend Hoa was able to convince us that we were too young to be spending new year’s eve weekend at home, and thanks to her effective persuasion, we enjoyed an active New Year‘s Eve weekend. On Saturday, a group of us attended the Gnarls Barkley/Flaming Lips concert at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. As a live act, Gnarls Barley was decent but nothing spectacular. He didn’t have the stage presence and energy that really got me into a frenzied state. I thought the Flaming Lips had much better stage presence, even though, to be quite honest with you, I had no idea who they were until that evening.
Hubby, myself, and a group of my girlfriends attended a gala at the symphony on New Year’s Eve. The concert began with some waltzes by Johann Strauss. After the first intermission, the concert continued with performances by Broadway star Brian Stokes Mitchell. Afterwards, we enjoyed complimentary champagne, appetizers, and desserts. The climax of the evening was the balloon drop at midnight, with ballroom dancing afterwards.
While I am on the topic of my night out at the symphony, I couldn’t believe some of the rude and uncivilized behavior I observed that night. Even though most of our fellow attendees were much older, and presumably well-heeled individuals, I felt that some of them behaved in a manner that was so uncultured, it was beyond reproach. For instance, a lady’s cell phone accidentally went off once at the beginning of the performance. Right when the lights came on during the first intermission, the lady directly besides Cellphone Lady, who is by my best estimate approximately 55 years old, turns to Cellphone Lady and states “if you don’t know how to turn off your cell phone, I can do it for you by throwing it out.” The trend only continued after the concert ended. While trying to grab some hors d’oeuvres, an elderly man knocked me out of my place as he lunged towards the food table. The evening was topped off with a near brawl between my girlfriend and a late 40ish looking lady who called my friend an idiot for bumping into her, even though my friend was the one who was rammed into by this foolish women. Go figure!
Here’s a pic of me and some friends from that evening…since this blog is still quasi anonymous, figure out which one is me!

Awwwww, gesh! That's too hard to try to figure out which one you are in the pic! If I'm wrong, I'll feel bad if you secretly think, "she that was me?"
However, I'll try....I think you are one of the persons on the ends?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
Hmmmm...I don't know. One of the gals in the middle? :)
i'll guess that you're the one on the far right. :)
will you let us know who got it right? ;)
you're the one in the far left?
happy new year!
I can't guess which one is you.. so I am going to rag on the rude folks at the event.
I hate going to "fancy" events and then see people all into themselves and acting pretentious like they own it or something.. only to turn around and show how low class they are.
When I was in Chicago.. some trailer trash called my man a "Freak" because he was drunk and bumped into her. Granted 'being asian' was few there.. people were bumping into EVERYONE.. that's the nature of a party. I told the skank to get over her stupid self, to which she stared wide-eyed and mouth agape. Then I nicely said, 'You should close your mouth while you're it.'...
The entire time.. my drunken man was walking away oblivious to the potential cat fight about to happen. Real classy.. ACK.

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also [url=http://twitter.com/nivqkai]Lowest Cost Viagra in USA[/url] you can find on our sites.
Generic Viagra is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
