It's a new decade! And just like last year, we spent new year's with our high school friends. Thanks for arranging everything, Michael!


Michael's Birthday

December 19, 2009 / Tags: Birthday, Lucille's, Michael

We celebrated Michael's birthday at the Lucille's in Chino Hills Brea. Happy birthday Michael!


For my birthday, Kathy arranged for a bunch of us to have dinner at Cuban Bistro in Alhambra. At first, I was thinking: Alhambra isn't really known for lively nightlife, is it? I hadn't been there in years, but I was pleasantly surprised. And the food was really good -- we need to go back soon.

They're apparently known for their mojitos, so of course we had to try them. ;-)

For Pete's birthday, we went to the Stone Brewery Beer Festival. And bonus -- Brad was in town!

Despite beer not really being my thing, I had a great time. Even Kathy had fun, and she really doesn't like beer! ;-)

For Bailey's birthday, Ambassador César took Bailey, his friend Isako, Kathy, and me to his favorite Mole restaurant in LA, Moles la Tía. And if César likes the food, it would be an exercise in redundancy for me to try and describe how good it was.
