  • So I am now married....

    You would think those words would sound weird... but they don't! I enjoy the married life! "Cindy, can you please get me an Orange Juice?" Hahhaha. Just kidding... Though I do ask for the occasional orange juice. Our wedding was perfect. I loved the location and all the friends and family that came. We seriously didn't think as many people would come as they did. So it was great to see everyone there. My biggest worry was if people would enjoy the food. I've been to weddings where I didn't, and that is the main thing I took away from it. So I am glad people enjoyed the food. I think my favorite part was the brunch the next morning. Thats mainly because I didn't get to eat dinner. I swore to myself, before the wedding, that I would eat dinner. I didn't care what EVERYONE else had told me. I was sure I was going to eat dinner. Sure enough, I didn't. Pictures of the wedding have been posted on my Picasa site.

    Our honeymoonw as fabulous! We went to Bali, Indonesia. Thanks to Yoon for guiding us there. We stayed at the Conrad Resport & Spa. It was freaking awesome. I could have just stayed at the resort the whole time. There was everything you could want there. We had our own beach area, though I didn't swim in it. Why swim in a ocean that has fish crap in it, when you can swim in clean pools! And the clean pools had sand and you could see the beach. So its like you could think you were swimming in the beach. Great thinking I know. All you can eat breakfasts! And not those cheap continental breakfasts, but full blown breakfasts! They had tea time at 2:30pm and cocktail hour from 5-7pm. It was all comped. I guess it was good I did all of those Arizona trips then! We ended up spending very little money in Bali, so that's good. We did get a massage and flower bath. Wasn't that great. I thought the massage I got during my bachelor party was much more relaxing. But all in all, it was a great trip!

    Our 2nd leg took us to the home of As One!!! It was great hanging out with my sister in law, Mina, Crystal, and Min. We ate soooo much Seoul-Food (damn Huy). I ate a lot of spicy food too! And no stomach pains! Looks like I'm not as weak as Joe is anymore! And I drank a lot of Soju on the trip. There are some bad pictures of that. We did SOOOO much shopping. It was unbeivable. I'm so glad I had my Ipod with me. I was listening to music and watching The Office while the girls shopped. I think the worse part of the trip was Toby. That whining dog was so freaking annoying. Me and Mina felt the same way! (Just kidding Crystal. It wasn't the worse part). There were actually no bad parts of the trip. I ate so much food though, that I am kinda sick of food. And that's sad... Though, I am not sick of McDonald's cones. In Korea, they dip it in chocolate! And the chocolate hardens really fast! It was so awesome! I ate it like 4-5 times. Well, its late, and Cindy's already sleeping. I'm not working tomorrow, so I should get some sleep and catch back up to Cali time. Enjoy the pics posted below.

  • What I have been up to

    So I started a new job at Experian Interactive Media, in Santa Monica, CA! I am now an accounting manager! Making big bucks, doing nothing as of yet. Only in America!

    This past weekend, I got to do my bachelor party. I must say, it was AWESOME! Lake Tahoe was the perfect place! We got in on Thursday night, and it was my immediate job to get the computers up and reay for Starcraft. We slept early (1am) so that we could go snowboarding on Friday. All the boys, except Derrick and myself, went on the regular runs. We were on the beginners run. The best part of the day was that I learned how to carve!!! It was awesome! Later that evening, I got a massage for 1.5hrs. Never had one before! My verdict? AWESOME! It was supposed to be a Swedish, but she gave me a deep tissue, because she felt I could handle the pressure. It was so cool! That night, I got drunk. I think I had 8-9 shots of Grey Goose in an hour. I was answering these questions, which I did a horrible job at. Everytime I got one wrong, half a shot. I got 18/27 wrong. I threw up after an hour of drinking, which was awesome, because no hangover!!!

    Saturday, we went to the casinos while Joe and Kevin boarded. I sucked it up. Lost like $150 bucks. We had dinner at the Sage Room, which was a great steak place. I went to the Poker room after dinner, and didn't do that great up to 10:30pm. Then met up with the boys for a drink, and then went back to the poker room. Randy gave me $25 bucks beause he wasn't doing well at craps. I hit a hot streak and ended up recouping my $150 and winning another $325! I gave $75 to Randy for his investment in me.

    I have to say, it was one of the best trips ever! Starcraft, snowboarding, gambling... How does it get better??? (Getting Married of course! )

    Yesterday, Cindy and I took our engagement photos. Man, I hate taking pictures... I'll post some up later of the ones that Yoon took of Cindy and myself...

    As you can tell, its 8am, and I'm typing on my Xanga... must not be doing much at work!

    18 days and counting!!!!

    Here are the pictures!



    Bachelor Party!

    Engagment Photos!

  • 2008! What a year its been!!!

    Wow, that was probably the best Super Bowl I've seen in my life. It probably helped that I bet money on it and won! I won money when the Chargers beat the Colts, and now the Giants upsetting the Patriots! Wow!!! I was at my bro's place, and everyone there was going NUTS!!! Yowzas!

    I'm also saying adios to PwC after 3 busy seasons! My last day is February 26th, the day my client files its 10-K. Saying hello to a new job and a new chapter in my life! Of course, the positive money always helps!

    And the best part, I'm getting married in like 8 weeks!!! Yowzas! Its going to be an awesome wedding! I think it gets more exciting as it gets closer.

    Hopefully everyone is having something remotely close to a 2008 that I'm having! =)

  • Wow, its been a long time!

    Its been an extremely long time since I've last posted to my Xanga. Its been a good day today. I won another Fantasy Football matchup, and the San Diego Chargers finally won! So what has happened???

    First of all, I got engaged! Derrick's dad asked me, "She's very pretty. What did you do? Drug her?" Its been pretty awesome, but wedding planning is pretty hectic! We're not sure where we're gonna have the wedding yet, but we have some appointments to look at some places. It can be in NorCal or SoCal. We'll see how it comes out.

    The moment that I got engaged, I litterally jumped on a plane and flew to Scottsdale, Arizona. I was there for a month auditing a client. I got to come home each weekend, which was better than being stuck there. I was able to hang out with Kevin several times, so that was cool. But I realized I would never want to live there!

    During the weekend of the 22nd, we attended a wedding in San Jose for my friends Julie and Derrick. It was Cindy's first time having Chinese banquet style dinner for a wedding. The outcome of that would help decide if we would have a Chinese banquet style dinner for our wedding. I can tell you that we are not. It was really fun up north. We stayed at my friend Randy's new place. He was a great host and took us to lunch at Google on Monday after the wedding.

    During the weekend of the 29th, my parents visited from Sacramento. Its the first time we've seen them since we got engaged. We got to eat dim sum, roast pork & peking duck (yumm!!!). My parents became really flexible about our wedding, except there are certain dates we can't have our wedding, due to bad luck with the lunar calander. We also went to Bear's 100 day birthday. Man, that baby gets cuter and cuter! And bigger and bigger! Uncle John is gonna keep Bear styling in Nike Dri-Fit clothing!

    Upcoming stuff.... We have a trip next weekend to San Diego to eat rice kripy chicken, ribs, and ROBERTOS!!!! I think we're going to Disneyland the following weekend to see the Halloween stuff. And the last weekend we're going to Sacramento to have the first of 2 engagement parties from my family. We're having 2 because there are too many people to have 1, so we're gonna have one for each side of my family. The 2nd one will be Thanksgiving.

    Also, there is a new addition to the Lee family... More details below....

    Hopefully that was a good update, enjoy the pics below.
