la da da da… hey hey hey goodbye

So my favorite sci-fi drama LOST on ABC has officially ended. Sigh Now I have nothing else to watch on TV. Any recommendations?

(By the way, if you haven’t done so already, watch the Dexter series from Showtime. It’s disturbingly entertaining.)

Only rapper to rewrite history without a pen
No I.D. on the track let the story begin…

I was one of lucky few who scored tickets to Jimmy Kimmel’s special Aloha to LOST show taping. Thousands submitted ticket requests but only 200 were available….. I had requested 4 but they only gave me 2. I guess I can’t complain.. or can I? (booo! argh!! grr.)  My first choice of course was Charlene - the only friend I have that watches LOST as religiously as I do (and her fiance Mikey, sorry Mikey! hehe). She had to rearrange her Vegas schedule, and I had to forfeit a few poker tourneys, but it’s okay… once in a lifetime opportunity!

Our eventful day started with brunch at Ji Jian’s in Alhambra - Xiao Long Bao and Dumplings. Yummy!!! (I prefer this spot over Din Tai Fung)

We got to the El Capitaine theater and stood in line for about an hour. While we were waiting a group of video bloggers interviewed us. I gotta find that website! Stay tuned…

They let us in around 1:30pm and seated us in the center with a pretty good view. We got to watch the LOST finale episode before everyone in the world. What a privilege! Woot!

There was a break in between and they gave everyone cupcakes. Char and I gunned for the Red Velvets. Yummy!

Right before show started taping, Char and I got moved closer to the aisle because they wanted more Hawaiian garb in the shot. Here are some screen shots!

I know this is an obvious statement, but Matthew Fox is a-hubba-hubba-HOT! Whew! I swore we made eye contact a few times. Unfortunately, Josh Holloway (Sawyer) was not there. It’s okay, I don’t think I could have handled two of them in the same room at the same time. ** fanning myself **

After the show, they threw a Pizza Party upstairs and were going to give away a bunch of unique stuff out. Char and I positioned ourselves right by the stage next to the prizes. We were so anxious! Each person got only 1 raffle ticket. We were hoping at least one of us wins!

The first trivia question was for a Dharma hoodie sweater - “Who was the head of Dharma security, aka as La Fleur?” Some girl in the back raised her hand and said “Michael!” OMG - how can you be a LOST fan and not know the answer! Char was like “Hell no!” and raised up her hand “Sawyer, James Ford, Josh Holloway!” ….. Ching Ching Ching! Woot!

A few trivia questions later, a Mr Cluck’s metal sign was up for grabs. It was so cute! “Where was Hurley’s first Mr. Cluck’s established?” Char and I thought we knew the answer but weren’t quite sure… a lot of people guessed Los Angeles, Tustin, Pasadena etc… Finally, I decided to go for it……. raised my hand… “Diamond Bar?” ….. Winner Winner Mr. Cluck’s Chicken Dinner! But everyone was booing us instead of cheering because they were jealous… WTH!? Boo You!

They finally stopped asking trivia and did raffle tickets for everything else. After a couple were called out, they pulled out a Dharma jacket and everyone was ooh-aah-ing. Char and I were indifferent. It would be nice to win but not something we could sport. The numbers were 9…4…7..9…8……….5! Charlene! We both shrieked “Yeahhhhhhh!!!” and everyone booed us again. Take a chill pill everyone! haha

They called out more numbers and we kept sighing everytime my number was missed. The MC picked on us and yelled “You guys need to stop that, you’ve won enough!” Fine.

After a while I kind of gave up. After all, we did already win 3 prizes. Some people didn’t get anything. Our luck was out… or was it? 9…4…7..9…8……….6! Me me me! Woot woot! We both shrieked so loud, and everyone booed at us AGAIN! “They have extra raffle tickets, cheater!!” (which we didn’t) man, haters, why everyone be hatin’ on me? Ended up winning Season 5 of LOST on Blu-Ray. Pretty sweet.

On our way out, we got a specially autographed box of Dharma Mac and Cheese. Mine was signed by Naveen Andrews (Sayid). We also left with a few bottles of DharmaWater (VitaminWater)

What a great night. Here’s a peek at what we went home with:

And here’s Mikey sporting the Dharma jacket! I didn’t know they pop collars on the Island. LOL

I made this just for Flex n Mrs. C,
I want people to feel threatened

I’m feeling lucky. Playing my first WSOP event this weekend in Vegas. Wish me MORE luck! Woot!

Ye told me to kill yall to keep it 100

I will leave you with a couple of song recommendations. I’m totally diggin’ David Guetta’s stuff:

1. Gettin Over You - David Guetta, Fergie and LMFAO
2. Memories - David Guetta ft. Kid Cudi
3. Find Your Love - Drake

So I’ve recently added another part-time job to my list of many other jobs. Those of you closest to me may know what that is already. It’s pretty ambitious, but I think if I work real hard at it, I can get there. Wish me luck.

I want your loving
And I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance

Okay, I’m not writing any books anytime soon… but I do plan on reading 101 training-related books by this year’s end. I’m only on my 2nd now… still got a long ways to go. Let’s see if all this time invested will pay off… if you know what I mean.

I want your drama
The touch of your hand

This is going to be a great year. I can feel it!

Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)

What has the world come to? Even dogs have blogs now, haha! Ok, jk, who am I to judge? Baby used to blog on my website all the time. I guess the trend has finally caught on!

Check out my cousin’s dog Barney’s blog here: http://iambarney.blogspot.com/

When the party was nice, the party was jumpin’ (Hey, Yippie, Yi, Yo)

My co-worker, Vivian, has a dog blog too. I think her main topic is about Poochie Parties: http://my-puppy-mocha.blogspot.com/ <– Interesting read~ Makes me want to host my own, but too bad Baby doesn’t get along with other doggies. Meanie!

Sorry me haven’t update in long time. This year try write more story. - Ldyna

I Wanna Rock With You (All Night)
Dance You Into Day (Sunlight)
I Wanna Rock With You (All Night)
We’re Gonna Rock The Night Away

So I was one of the 1.5 million people who tried to get tickets to MJ’s memorial service on Tuesday… unfortunately I did not get selected. Oh wells, I’ll just watch it from the comfort of my own home as recommended.

I must say though.. MJ was a weird dude, but I don’t think he ever did anything wrong. He’s just misunderstood.. like some of us… I know I’m weird and people judge me and make assumptions all the time, tarnishing my reputation because it’s fun (it is, isn’t it? :-P)… but whatevers.. You like me, you like me. You don’t, then you don’t. C’est la vie.

Lyrics from “Rock With You” by Michael Jackson

Q: What do you get when you cross a brown chicken and a brown cow?
A: Brown Chicken Brown Cow (don’t get it? sounds like a certain type of movie background music…)

Gotta get-get, gotta get-get
Gotta get-get, gotta g-g-g-get-get-get, get-get

Now that I have a little free time I can finally listen to my music again. Here are some of my favorites of the moment (probably outdated):

1. “Never Ever” by Ciara
2. “Goodbye” by Kristinia Debarge
3. “Know Your Enemy” by Green Day

I got the that rock and roll
That future flow

Congratulations to my cuz Donna who graduated from Medical school!

When, when I step inside the room
Them girls go ape-****, uh

Attended VANG 2009 Gala in Beverly Hills over the weekend. My lovely date was LT (the other LT). Went to Area afterward for a bit. Pretty fun and interesting night.

Hopefully good things will come out of all this hard work. Leyna Nguyen from CBS/KCAL has already contacted me regarding design work for a celebrity poker tournament.

That future boom boom boom
Let me get it now

Looks like I caught a mild case of the cold or flu. My throat is pretty sore and I’m getting boom boom headaches. argh.

Seatbelt beside me baby, LA just drive me crazy.

Yesterday I went to Lakers Game 7 at the Staples Center in LA. Our company had booked somes suites for our clients and I was invited since I coordinated the event. I was running around, organizing, chatting, and taking pictures the whole time so I didn’t really get a chance to enjoy the game. Four hours flew by so quickly! But it was cool to finally go to a game…wished it was a little more exciting though.

Not once, we go till we get it right.

So I’ve been working on VANG’s magazine design for the past few weeks and I finally finished it today! Boy that thing took up a huge chunk of my time. I had to cancel and postpone so many things. (Sorry!) The event is this Saturday…can’t wait. It’s been a while since I’ve dressed up and gone out.

We can share, its an all in affair

I wasn’t planning on doing anything special for my birthday this year, but it looks like we’ll be taking a girls only Vegas trip. woot!! If you guys wanna join us let me know! (Girls only!) I’m going to continue working crazy hours for a couple more weeks and then take some time off to vacation and visit family after. Can’t wait!

Ok that’s it for me.. not much has happened.. just work. Hopefully I’ll have juicier things to write about next time.

To my fellow Lost buddies: 2010 is too far away! I can’t wait to find out what happens next season… here are a few of my theories:

• Jacob will turn into a white smoke monster.
• The bomb at the end will beam all the Losties back into the present (sans Juliette), but not necessarily erase the past
• If the past does get erased, then all the Losties will end up in the present but parallel universe where everything is different (and then they’ll want to go back to the past to unerase things again.. hahah omg im getting a headache)

Ok, at least I know this show is ending next year. This 7 year commitment better be worth it!!!
