Another busy weekend come and gone. Luckily, it felt long enough. Too bad this week is a long week :\

Anyway, last Wednesday night I had dinner with K and C and Musha in Santa Monica. We've tried tapas before but this is more Japanese-style tapas. It was pretty good and the portions were a lot more than expected. I wouldn't mind coming here again. We even got hooked up with green tea ice cream thanks to one of the waitresses who happened to be one of my coworker's wives! It was crazy bumping into her there!

Thursday night, B and I headed down to SD to attend a financial seminar as suggested by my sister. She's been pushing me to read a book for a while now. The author of Missed Fortune 101, Doug Andrew, was there to give a talk and it was pretty much an overview of his book and what he teaches in it. It was definitely enlightening because it's not the traditional way of viewing investments. I hate considering investments, but this made me look forward to it more. It was comforting to know that whatever I'm doing right now is on the right path according to their plan. B bought the original book and I bought the engineering version which has a lot more derivations and explanations of how he comes up with his numbers. As I was getting it signed he asked what I do for a living. When I mentioned that I was an engineer, he chuckled and said, "Of course! I can always tell the engineers because they always buy the engineering version of my book." Hehe, I'm afraid he's right :P

B and I went to go have lunch with my bro-in-law at his work on Friday. He gave us the grand tour of DC Comics which also consisted of meeting a lot of cool artists/colorists, and getting a bunch of free comics and graphic novels. We really wanted to meet Jim Lee but unfortunately we missed him by half an hour. It's ok... there's always next time!!!

Saturday was spent shopping... a lot! We had lunch at Kabuki Sushi in Pacific Beach. It's a revolving sushi place, so the environment was pretty cool. I love sushi! We did a little more shopping in PB and at the outlets. Next thing we knew, it was night. We went home that night and spent the rest of the weekend running errands and trying to chill out whenever possible. Hmph... it's been a while since we've been able to just relax! Can't wait til the weekend again... :)
