Christmas Escapades 2010

So for Christmas I started the day by attempting to make it to the 8:00 AM Christmas mass at St. Anne Church here in Union City, CA. Though I guess I didn't wake up early enough or got dressed in time, because I was only able to make it to the last 10 mins of that mass.







So after that didn't go quite as planned, I went back home to do some last minute things and kill time before heading off to my dad's place. When I got there, he wasn't ready yet so I ended up killing time waiting for him by watching movies on his On Demand. First, I tried to watch Pan's Labyrinth, but got bored early on and switched it to The Marine. Which was pretty terrible. While it's not the worst movie I've ever seen, John Cena is a terrible actor. Also this movie leads you to the belief that you can survive most explosions that incur in your immediate environment. Although if anything I thought the bad guys were somewhat hilarious. So once my dad was ready, he, Jo and I went to have lunch at Newark Buffet.

















So after lunch, we went back to his place and watched more movies on his On Demand. We watched The Protector, which I thought was pretty good, and we watched The Expendables, which I thought was good for what it is. Even though some of the plot made no sense, or how they're all magically friends again with Dolph Lundgren who supposedly was killed earlier in the movie because he tried to kill them. For dinner, we had lumpia and fried egg. Then I capped off the night watching some American Ninja Warrior and explaning to my dad how to do some things on Facebook. That's pretty much it.

Father's Day Brunch

So at around 11:00AM today, I met up with my dad and his girlfriend at Newark Buffet for a Father's Day brunch. Here are some pics from the LG Vu of how decided to take on this joint . . .

Hot dogs, chicken teriyaki sticks, chicken wings, chicken nuggets, and rice(although I have eaten many hot dogs in my life, I feel the one here was subpar and the best thing on this plate in my opinion was the nuggets)


Somewhere after the first plate, my phone started acting funny and won't turn on. So I wasn't able to take a shot of my 2nd plate which was just rice and chicken nuggets. It did manage to finally turn back on by somewhere near the end of the third plate

Korean bbq short ribs and rice



Pizza, fries, and fried wonton wrapper



Pork and egg noodle plate



Some sort of muffin and sesame seed balls



Cake, jello, and palmier



Vanilla Sundae with nuts, sprinkles, and chocolate chips(while this looks epic . . . it actually kinda tasted like shit due to all the toppings)



More cake(cuz it was yummy damn it O_o)



Nuggets and fries(cuz I felt like it)



Nuggets again(I'm telling you guys I liked this the most for some reason)


An ice cream sundae cone(much better than the first sundae)



That's pretty much it, after the meal we split our separate ways. Usually I try to make posts like this as soon as I get home, but I was too full to do anything until now O_o. So yeah . . . happy father's day!
