I was with the family this time, dining at Bushi Tei - one of those higher-end Japanese restaurants where you pay a fortune to eat a little. Actually, despite being expensive, I really enjoyed this meal. Service was almost impeccable - I really want to say it was perfect but nothing can compare to Gary Danko’s service - and the food tasted better than it looked, and boy did it look good!
The meal was okay and the service needed a little work, but at least I was around great company.
Thanks Weldon, Andy and Regina!

So My identity has been exposed a little more everyday as SAM. I don’t really mind since the population is almost 2 million (am i right?)
So I’ve been with family the last few days and decided that i needed to get out. I went to a live taping of a comedy show and after a hour of fake laughing, i headed back with my date to her place to smoke a mary jane. (which btw is a bad habit that i normally don’t do). After spending some time at her place we sealed the deal and the night was still young!
I meet up with some other buddies and here is where the drama all began. I was only there a few minutes but a tall good looking lady comes up to me and says i look familiar… i went along with it and we got the chatting, a few minutes later she said .. Your SAM! and then shoved my shoulder and walked away. I was so shocked at what just happened, i had no words. but to wonder who she was, and how she knew. I played it cool and told my friends i just got attacked. They laughed and said i was hallucinating, which was totally possible. A few minutes later two pretty ladies came up to me again and almost the same exact scenario happened. This time they lightly smacked me in the face! Just after that happened my friends came up to me and said We know all about your alter ego SAMinNYC. They bought the ladies drinks to prank me! Apparently they found me out via facebook. Note to self, FB is for stalkers… lol
I felt so “bunched” hahaha, i also text jen during the happenings because i swore she had something to do with this!
Which leads me to this, find my new hidden blog and you win a prize!
I’m on a mission to find the best Shanghai dumplings (小籠包) out there and what better way to search than to try out all the popular spots in San Gabriel Valley. I made sure to visit the top 4 Shanghai dumpling restaurants the region had to offer, and three happened to be right next to each other in the Prospect Plaza.
JONASAPPROVED Top 4 Shanghai Dumpling Restaurants (linked to their Yelp reviews):
1. J & J Restaurant
2. Mei Long Village
3. Din Tai Fung (Old location)
4. Dragon Mark (一條龍）
According to Chowhound, I still have two more places to try (that aren’t so popular):
Giang Nan / De Yue Lou
Ho Ho Kitchen
i had just finished setting up my PC when my fellow bunchkins and i had an epiphany. since i had TWO webcams and both my computers were connected to the internet, why not stream with two different angles? then the madness just developed from there. hahaha!

it was so trippy! i was totally freaking myself out! doesn’t it look like there’s two different girls streaming? the “c0rkie show” lasted for 2 hours; capping at 105 viewers on one and 54 on the other hahaha! c0rkie auction anyone?
