Today, like most… We pay to play. Well, weekend was fun! From racing to drinking (not at the same time, I promise). Woke up, had breakfast (more like lunch) then went to church. After all, we have to be Thankful for good life. After a weekend,  I always try to excercise and pay up! Party hard? Pay hard! Work it out!  As part of my “Work Hard – Play Hard” program for myself. I went and ran for 4 miles today and mountain biked for 3 miles on that same trail (Didn’t take pics cause I was hot) Yep, with the sun on top! I don’t give a fuck if I get dark!!! Bring it on! LOL… Then I bathed the doggy, Elle. She like taking  showers and playing with water. I always have fun giving her baths. So easy to give bath to this dog. She just stay calm and collective.

Then she wanted to get rinsed some more…

Now she smells good!!

I went to clean my LS4 too.. spent another hour cleaning the LS4. I haven’t used my GX470, it stays inside the garage during summer most of the time. I use it mostly on winter during snowboard season. I took a few pics of the LS4. It’s pretty clean now.

Amistad FTMFW!

PS: Here’s the full shot of the LS4 after I washed it.

On my way home from the race tracks, I got a call from Paul and a text from Cathy. It’s our friend Chris’ birthday at Silk Lounge in Monterey Park. I rested for a bit when I got home.  Then got dressed up and went back to bed… I didn’t feel like doing anything cause of the long hot day at the drift clinic. But hey.. it’s Saturday!  and it’s my friends barfday Why not?! So I went to pick up Paul and head to Silk Lounge.  Met up with my friends there, Here’s Chris the barfday boy. He’s actually from Las Vegas. Soo Vegas boys, you know what happened to him? Same thing we do to you when you go drinking with us… HAHAHAHA… Ya’ll know what happens. Don’t mess with LA bitches!

What’s with buckets and beers? I don’t get it… Well, I stopped drinking beer :p

So the night moved along with more alcohol being brought to the table. Then the birthday shots and the birthday boy!

Wow… I think I counted 4 trays of shots came. I don’t know what they all did to it… but this is what it looked like after.

and everyone looked like this…

and the birthday boy went home in the back seat of Jonathan’s new M5. The M5 will be getting a free detail from Chris’ the “BARFDAY” boy.

I went to TNT Motorsports with my friend Robert aka “Obet”  last night. TNT wanted to check something  in his 20v powered Toyota AE101 4door.

Some might know, 2 seasons ago, I drove for TNT/Autronic EVO8 for TimeAttacks and some Road Racing events. We podium’d that Evo!!!

 And Brooks has been very busy lately with money making, bill paying real life work, and haven’t had the time to finish the EVO race car. Until… Now. It’s almost together. Same soul, different car.  We’re testing soon!!! It’s time to kick ass and catch up in points!!! Hopefully we can gain momentum and start winning again.

almost done! all it needs is a car wash! we're good to go!

So there it is, hiding… It looks done to me. I think we just need some car wash! Right?  Below is another shot of the TNT Evos at B-Willow.

The Tuesday Basketball game is back! After the long break due to NBA Playoffs (actually we just wanted to watch The Lakers win) The Tuesday game is on once again! Everyone was rusty! It’s good to see everyone at the gym. I had to guard Paul, the Ex College Ball`er. Who stands an inch taller than me. Good thing, he’s a close friend of mine. So I can use the tricks he taught me against him. That’s the only way to guard him, is to be a little tricky.  A few bad calls and good  flops… “REF! ^&&**K COME ON! IT WAS ALL BALL!!!” It was a good game!!! Everyone came out in one piece.

THIS IS YOUR HEAD JACK!!!

Usually I start my gym day on a Monday. But I usually have to drag myself to the gym on Monday… Today, I  started my gym day. Sunday! After the partyin` weekend… it’s payback time! You gotta work hard!!! I grabbed my MTB and went to the trail. But I want a new trail, somewhere I haven’t been before or explored. There’s this trail 3 miles away from my house. It was steeeeep!!! I forgot to pack my biking gear.. so that means, I only went there with my Blackberry and $5 bux in my pocket! lol.. NO WATER! It got interesting!

The "trail" - I can't read warning signs.

So.. I went and hop the fence. The view is nice up there, but the trail is very narrow and steep. I was having fun until I saw some warning signs about “wildlife”. I wanted to take pictures, but… I got scared! hahahah! I thought of mountain lions and rattle snakes. I was like….. whoa!! happy thoughts! I just said, well mountain lions are nothing! they’re just small wanna be lions and tigers! pffft… yeah right! I was outta there!

I had to stop and catch my breath, I left it a few miles back!

After a few hours of biking, I went straight to the gym and got some stuff done. Gotta work hard to play hard! LIFE!

I was supposed to go with friends to a Bar/Lounge in Hollywood. But… I flaked out. I didn’t feel like going out. I just wanted to hang out with friends. So I went drinking with friends and had some BBQ and oysters… and met a few more friends. I suddenly became a Blackberry expert. Few girls there had Blackberry but didn’t know how to use it. So I taught them how to use it and gave them a Crackberry 101 lesson. First… you gotta have the BBM.

a shot with the chaser!

BBQ and Oysters!
