Two worlds colliding...

Went to a co-worker's birthday party tonight at the Arsenal in West LA. Funny thing is, she went to UCLA and hangs out with the same ACA crowd I used to hang out with back in 2000. So her birthday party was like a work function and UCLA reunion all in one.

The weirdest part about tonight? It was kind of the first time Steve and I acted like boyfriend/girlfriend in front of co-workers. VERY awkward. At least for me.


Me and Mish- the birthday girl.


Me and Steve- the..... boyfriend. :P


Franz, Steve, me, Michelle, Brandon and Megan.


Me and Ramon.. Ramon and I used to work together at Bigzoo... I don't think I've seen him since then! Oh wait- I might have run into him at an ACA show. But it was great to catch up with him since it's been over 5 years since we've talked. Wow I feel old.

April Fools'?

So today marks day one of my uhm... well... errrr... yeah. I have a new boyfriend today :) I formally accepted Steve's offer to become his girlfriend (not the first offer, mind you) and so today marks our first day of going out.

So he came over this morning to pick me up to dimsum... in my newly washed car (surprise!) and bringing with him a bouquet of flowers (Tulips~ my favorite!)... the boy is winning massive points already :D

So he proceeds to take me to dimsum in Monterey Park... @ NBC Seafood Restaurant. The dimsum restaurant I used to go to as a kid. Then we went to the Huntington Library to stroll around the gardens... Yup, it was a "date" date.

:)

Chocolate is better than ______.

Fill in your own blank.

I first tried Vosges chocolate in Vegas at Caesar's Forum. They have a plethora of exotic chocolates with curious ingredients such as curry, hot pepper and wasabi. I mean, I thought it was alright. It was interesting but kinda weird.

Last week I tried a bar of their Macha Green Tea chocolate... seriously it's so good I can't even write about it. It's so ridiculous how inexplicably pleasurable eating this chocolate is. I'm not even going to attempt it.

I picked up this insanely satisfying bar of chocolate at Coco Noche, a chocolate and wine bar in Manhattan Beach that serves Korean tapas. A seriously interesting mix. The food was really good but the dessert was extraordinary.

Working hard.

One of the things I love about my work are all of the extracurricular activities.

I've joined the March Madness Frenzy and pitched into the office pool. This is the first time I've done any type of sports betting so it's all new to me. Here is my bracket:



I am doing "alright"... didn't do too well the first round and USC beating Texas really screwed me over. But I'm in 12th place and still in a good position to move forward. We'll see *crosses fingers*

Outside of sports betting and happy hours, we also have sporting activities. I'm joining our softball league! Practice starts tomorrow so pictures to come~ I bought my softball glove, batting gloves, ordered my jersey. Woohoo. Exciting. Did I mention I've never played softball, ever? I did go to a batting cage with David once. He said I was awesome. I did hit more balls than him. (Sure mine was at a slower speed but he's a boy, he should be expected to hit at a full level higher than me) Then afterwards we played mini-golf and I won. Well, actually he won but that's because I gave him a do-over. Everybody knows girls are allowed 3 do-overs and boys are allowed none. :D :D

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh.....
