We went snowboarding at
Heavenly in South Lake Tahoe, a great area with tons of attractions and things to do. It was refreshing to go to this park since it's massive and plus I haven't been here in ages because we tend to board in North Lake Tahoe and this time we wanted to try something different. I prefer going on the weekdays whenever we come up here only because it's less crowded and we get more runs in a short amount of time. I almost forgot how much I love the snow and must return back soon- hopefully next week! Anyway, the snow wasn't too icy as I had expected and being able to go jacket free usually never happens but it was so warm and sunny it was pretty much perfect.

i had one of the most fun nights having dinner with these ladies at La Mar on Embarcaderro. i think this is one of the top dining experiences i've had yet- from the ambiance, the food, the drinks, the service, the company, and the non-stop laughter- everything was a hit. i give a big fat recommendation to eat here, especially if a peruvian cuisine is right up your alley because this is definitely the place to be.

Sorry I've been absent. I lost the battery charger for my camera- an annoying habit that I've developed- and haven't been able to take any pictures other than ones from my phone. And recently I dropped that on the bathroom tile floor at Starbucks and the glass screen shattered and cracked the whole front part of the phone. So now I've finally convinced myself to get a case since I'm literally on my 6th iPhone! I'm surprised how well I handled that loss and maybe it's because I've had enough practice breaking them in the past. But on the upside, I got this
Bob Ross shirt at the Goodwill for $3 and it brings me fond memories of watching him paint at the crack of dawn when I was a kid. Every time I feel stressed out, I can just watch an episode of
The Joy of Painting and it's like putting water over fire. Although it would highly disturb me when he would "ruin" the image and place the darkest line dead center to create a tree. But somehow the picture would still come out nicely and the whole viewing process still had a soothing effect.
we had dinner at bushi-tei to celebrate tomiko's birthday and i had a vegetarian omakase salad and the grass fed tender beef loin that was amazing. i got an email that wanted suggestions of places to eat and this is definitely one spot i would recommend, along with some other favorites that I recently went to like Nopa and Foreign Cinema in the city and Starks, Syrah Bistro, and Rosso Pizzeria up North in Santa Rosa. Dine about Town also started 2 weeks ago so that's another great way to check out some popular places in San Francisco for a fraction of the cost. I saw an article in the Chronicle of the Top 100 Bay Area Restaurants and I'm making my way down the list to see if they live up to the reviews and so far the ones that I've tried I have not been disappointed. here's to my bestest friend in the whole wide world,
happy birthday tom!
