Tramster
Sunday was Tramster's Bridal Shower (pictures to be posted later). She's part of my Asian constituency here in the bay area. We met through LanChau when I was working at SBC, back in the day, and I do believe they were the first friends I made here. Everywhere I go, I have my partying friends and I have my Asian girl friends that I go to when I need some culture and grounding. It's a completely different community and they are integral to my sanity and development.
My life is incomplete without them. There is sense of cultural understanding that is difficult to explain which I've had with my
Asian friends everywhere. You can't teach someone to pick up these things, it's part of the culture. There's been little or no strife with them; there is no sense of undermining or second guessing the other. If there is a misunderstanding, we generally assume the best of the other's intentions. I really appreciate that quality.

Mundane and Enjoying It
AG and I at Warriors vs. Utah Jazz
Friday night AG and I went to our 2nd Warriors game. Without Baron Davis playing, the game was half ass. Though the Warriors didn't lose by much, the excitement that Baron brings to these games is missing. Afterwards, went to Shelaine's and had lots of laughs watching AG help Sion set up his automatic signatures on his email. It took them about an hour since they were medicated.
Saturday - met up with KC and Mie for an afternoon brunch. The theme for this week will be "Catching up with the girls." Went to an Indian restaurant that was very cool - Maharani - the owner is known for setting up the first Indian restaurant in SF at 1122 Post Street. They have a very romantic area in the back called their Fantasy Room with Moroccan-like tables, where couples can sit on the floor in sectional rooms with drapes for intimacy. The food was absolutely awesome.

Coolest wedding cake....
Friends (the Yagunama's aka Dav/Mie) - got married at BM this year and had their reception when we were in SD. I finally saw their pictures and thought this was the coolest wedding cake ever. It looks like it came out of the Cat in the Hat.... and of course, it has the BM symbol! Congrats to Dav/Mie.
Daddy's Little Girl
I love getting updated pictures of Aliya - maybe someday she'll get to read my blogs and see through my eyes how I've watched her grow up. Improved outfit from last update. Not that I have anything against pink. I know how limited her wardrobe choices are at the moment. But someday, I'm hoping to help her find her style, whatever that is. Hm, I'm thinking brown and turquoise...
Although I miss her shell-shocked expressions (since they remind me so much of her father) this is such an adorable picture. Way to go daddy!

Basketball Basketball - Warriors' Opening Night
AG and I are seriously involved with a new passion - basketball. It's my favorite professional sport to watch and I'm guilty of going to the Warriors game in the past years to watch other teams besides the Warriors. You can't really blame me, they were dead last for several years. Last year, Baron Davis joined the Warriors and changed everything. He brought leadership, a sense of pride, and team-work to the fallen Warriors. AG and I went to several games, including the last game. What an amazing game that was. Not only were they winning, but Baron infused excitement, panache, and great basketball to our court.
So all summer, I was tortured on the decision to purchase season tickets. But I did, and tonight is the season opener. We are like little kids waiting for Christmas. I even agreed to be his assistant for the fantasy basketball team - named - the Mission Misfits. And we've made a pact, that if the Warriors make it to the play-offs (which hasn't happened for 12 years), we'd paint our faces orange and blue to support our team. Can life get any better?
