Mina's 28 and Bridge Jone's Diary

This past week I was out every single nite for dinner, and by the end of the week, weight jumped 3 lbs. Good job, and I started to feel the pressure from waist~~~
If I could remember where I dined, Wed nite went check out a Mediterranean in downtown PA called Kan Zeman. Not a super fancy place but wine and food are absolutely great, and more imporatantly, inexpensive. www.kanzeman.com. I grew to love red just very recently and I have to say, they have really good red.
Thru nite settled for Straits for a quick solution since we both were busy and I was running super late becuz of work. I was never impressed by the food on Straits' menu, maybe this is a little unfair statement, since the Straits in the ciy is pretty authentic. Give the benefit of the doubt, I ordered duck legs, tuna tower, and some small dishes that i never ordered be4 just to give a shot. Everything turned out surprisingly good except for wine!!!
Friday nite met up a couple posse @ Birk's afterwork. Whoever picked that restaurant was seriously responsible for the damage of my wallet. Stakes was absolutely amazing (yeah for $34 an order and $10 for a glass of wine), but dessert menu is even more impressing, worth going back for even just the dessert.
Saturday was a busy day. Met up w/my real estate agent and we went to look at houses, 5 hours and saw 7 houses, some were pretty potential but....no money no house~ luckily parents offered to help and a friend offered to join the partnership. Sat nite about 20 of us had dinner @ Tomodashi sushi bistro in Hayward to celebrate Mina's big 28. I loved this restaurant!!!! how can you not? everything is perfectly prepared and they have the best nigiri (unfiltered sake) and cherry bomb! man...great food, great drink and great company, it was really a fun nite even though later on planned B got bummed @ Loft11, and ended up singing KTV, it's still an eventful evening.

Got home at 4am, went to bed 30 min later, and then got woken up 6 hours later, IT'S SUNDAY, OK???? WOULD YOU GUYS RELAX??? Erin and Karen had the most terrible hangover from the nite before and decided it's time to catch up @ Queen House, my wknd ritual which hasn't been broken! Followed by 2 hour coffee break on this side street off Castro, showered by nice breeze and sun, I started feeling so relaxing and contented until.....until this familiar S4 convertible cruised by and ruined the moment for a moment. Fuss quickly recovered and we decided to go see Bridge Jone's Diary since it's such a perfect day and company for a chick flick. It was hilarious:)
Tomorrow is another big day....3 things on my must-do list, ask for a raise, oil change, and regular dinner date with my east coast boyfriend, haha....hoping his moving-over isn't going to ruin this perfect relationship.
