Day 048 / 365 - Korean BBQ Dinner & Nuggets Vs. Jazz

#048

And again, we came back super late and I just vegged out once we got home.  But anyway, It was really really hard to get out of bed today.  I managed to make a website that I designed live, but it wasn't before long that I had to get ready to go to Denver.  Peter said it was our "date night"  :)

On our way to Denver, we saw/heard another accident.  This car rear-ended one of those moving truck type of vehicles.  It never fails... we always seem to come across accidents on our way to Denver.  We've actually witnessed quite a few of these accidents happen.  TWO times, if we were driving any faster, we would've been hit!  Crazy.  There was another accident on I-25 that caused a good amount of traffic.  It took us forever to get to the restaurant, but we made it!

Peter's mom ordered the food while we were still on the road, so when we got to the Korean restaurant (Seoul BBQ, i think?), the food was already there for the most part.  I've never had Korean BBQ/Yakiniku before, although I've always wanted to try.  THIS WAS FREAKIN AWESOME!  The food was absolutely delicious.  The Kalbi was super duper moist, soft, & flavor full.  There were moments where I just sat there debating whether or not to swallow 'cause I could very well puke right then and there.  I ate so much I literally wanted to puke, but it was so good.  It was also nice to see Peter's mom again.  I've been bugging him to go see her because it's been well over a month & they live in the same state!  Lol.

After dinner, Peter & I made our way to the Pepsi Center to watch the Denver Nuggets vs. Utah Jazz game.  $49 for 2 tickets, 2 t-shirts, & 2 beers + Fees ~$64.  Not too shabby!  Before the game we headed to the store.. Peter bought some Allen Iverson Jerseys for us (even though he's not with the nuggets anymore!) and a hat for himself.  It was fun!  We had a rough start, but we pulled through and beat the Jazz!  I'd definitely like to see a play offs game.  We're #2 in the West, baby! 

Day 042 / 365 - Snow Play

#042

Earlier today, I met up with Peter & Jenny at Roma's to have some lunch.  Mmm, caroli!  After that, I went home real quick and gathered my stuff.  This is why I love snow.  I met up with Owen, Maren, & her friends at Nottingham field and played in the snow for a lil bit.  Owen & I were hitting up this barrel on MY snowboard.  Haha.  It was fun!  My expression in the photo says it all!  Hopefully the snow holds up and we can go there and check it out again.  Wish I wasn't coughing so much.. I probably would've drank more cocoa and whiskey.

I woke up 4:30AM, I'm surprised I'm not tired yet.  I've spent most of the day watching "My Girl" -- the filipino version.  I finally found a site with all the episodes in one place.  I thought of watching the Korean version, but at least with this one I can understand what they're saying without any subtitles. The girl irritates me, but the guy.. he's not so bad looking ;)

Day 038-40 / 365 - A Productive Day

Day #040   Wednesday, March 25, 2009

Last night, I had to get up for a little bit because my coughing was a little out of control.  I was falling asleep while on the computer though and ended up falling asleep in the living room till 5:30AM.  YAY for 8 hours of sleep!!  

& So began my productive day.  When I woke up, I started folding ALLLLL the laundry that's been collecting for WEEKS now and put it all away.  The only thing left is socks, but that's a quick fix.  I swept the kitchen/bathroom up.  Put the rest of the dishes into the dishwasher and will wash them once it's full later today.  Then I vacuumed!  I had to empty the canister about 4 times 'cause there's so much dog hair.  There's just sooo much hair.... it drives me crazy!  I totally needed this.  It feels much much cleaner now.

After all of that, I sat down and had myself a cup of cocoa.  This was the most work I've done in weeks.  I'm FINALLY starting to really feel like I'm getting over this cough.  Hopefully that didn't jinx it!  Now I just have some website work to do and I'm thinking of baking cupcakes later.  

I just got this e-mail from my Direct Marketing professor.  I guess we're in the DMEF newsletter.  I'm like... the shortest one in the whole group!  At least I'm standing next to Jay Leno.  Too bad the pic wasn't bigger.  Oh, I also got a surprise win in the mail today.  It's my biggest win this month (it's been a super slow month sweepstakes wise!) so I'll take it!  Not really my kind of movie, so I'm giving it to Peter :)

Win(s):  Role Models DVD from DVDlounge.com

Day #039   Tuesday, March 24, 2009

Peter & I were supposed to go to Denver today and have dinner with his family.  I was getting ready and when Peter got here he said "they forgot."  Shoot, I was already 95% ready and now... nowhere to go.  I was pretty delirious at this point since I was running on 2 hours of sleep (not continuous either!).  Yes, damn the coughing!  Damn it to hell.

Anyway, instead of making the long drive down we headed out for a few before I fell asleep (it was bound to happen!) so the day wouldn't be a total waste.  We did some shopping and I bought the little pieces above.  A pair of sweatpants, a dress (bubble dress, i think?), & a nice top.  I needed something nice to wear on the days we go down to Denver and I'm quite satisfied with my purchases.  It's been a while since I've bought something for myself :)  Best part, everything was only $20.00!

After shopping we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for a late lunch/early dinner.  After we got in, sure enough the crowd followed us and BBW was packed within 15 minutes of being there.  It's always empty when we enter a restaurant, but once we're there a whole crowd of people come.  I made sure to get in my orders for .40 cent wings before everyone!

Shortly after we got home, I knocked the f&ck out!  Hallelujah!  ANNND I was actually able to sleep for 5/6 hours straight for the first time in a week.  

Day #038   Monday, March 23, 2009

At Patrick's Irish Pub/Bar.  The home of $3.00 Irish Car Bombs, all day, everyday.  No drinks for me though, I was stuck coughing myself silly.  No surprise there!  Monday was Owen's 6th year serving as a U.S. Marine and hence officially marking the end of his contract with the government.  This should be a cause for celebration no doubt!  He served his time on U.S. soil and in Iraq.  Owen-- a well deserved JOB WELL DONE!

Day 009 / 365 - Dinner & a Movie

#009

OK, I'll admit.. this one is being posted WAY late, 4 hours past the deadline, but I did take this yesterday ;) I blame my lateness on camera-whore syndrome and late night Call of Duty 4 sessions. Yes, camera whore. I have no shame in that.

Anywho, the title pretty much is deceiving. It was more like a movie & a dinner. It was cute because after Peter got off of work he called me and said, "Do you want to go on a date?"  Haha.  We watched Slumdog Millionaire.  I liked it!  Though, I have to admit that I didn't like it as much as I thought I would.  I feel like everyone hyped it up so much that I expected to much and therefore, set myself up for the letdown.  Peter felt the same, but we liked it nonetheless.  Who doesn't love a story of triumph over adversity and undying love?  Haha.  

After the movie, we went to Olive Garden for some dinner.  I had the dish pictured above.  I can't remember the name of it, but it was ravioli stuffed with 4 cheeses with shrimp.  I always favor seafood dishes over anything else.  The sauce had a strange tinge to it that I kind of didn't like, but it's still a not bad dish.  I'm actually finishing up the rest of it right now since I'm so hungry.  Probably not a good decision since I'll way up extremely hungry.  Ahh.  That is all.
