Magazine Addiction.

My name is Joe Siwa, and I am a magazine addict. I wonder if there is a magazine addiction? (too lazy to google it, so I’ll do it tomorrow) Anyway, just bought 5 new issues of some of my favorite magazines. BPM, Vapors, Fortune, Metro-Pop, Mixmag.

Vung Tau

Truth be told, I have never heard of this restaurant til today. So, feeling hungry and adventurous, I tried it with little expectation. Came out of it feeling refreshed and enlightened.

 

The building seemed like a rundown 1950s diner, but inside, the atmosphere felt good and made you comfortable. Food was definitely good and I would recommend it to anybody. Service was also a big factor. The menu was very extensive with items catered to people with different tastes.

 

Ask for #60, I believe that is the Com Ga Xa Ot. Chicken grilled and then sauteed with garlic, red chili pepper, and some onion. Really good taste and was really balanced. The garlic did not overpower the chicken, and the chili pepper was really more of an enhancement, rather than a individual taste to the dish. Check it out at 535 E. Santa Clara St. in San Jose.

 

Too lazy to say anything else…

So here is some great videos and track from one of the greatest hip-hop groups of all-time. When music was music, and not a fucking ringtone.

What are you doing 1 o’clock in the morning

I am watching this show on mojohd.com called Start-up Junkies. Pretty cool show. It shows the daily operations of a start-up called earthclassmail.com as they try to transition from start up to full fledge corporation. A great show for those looking to see how life is for a start up company. A quote that would summarize the lives of these people: mo money, mo problem.

Nokia e61i: Day 3

Friday was the same. Went to class and then work. Afterwards did some stuff. Had some treats ice cream with some friends and then took it back to my cousin’s house.

Watch the jabbawockeez kill it and then I went to some PF Changs with the family. How’s this for a phone call reservation? 

 

ME: (It is 8:30) Hi, can I make a reservation for a party of 15 at 8:45?

PF Changs: Um, did you say a party of 15?

ME: Yes.

PF Changs: I think that would be better at 9:30-9:45.

ME: Oh, okay. (I hear my mom in the back of my head shouting at me on the phone for not reserving earlier.) I guess put my name down. 

 

Restaurant tip #4080: Reserve at least an hour before you go there.

But it was good food none the less. Tip about eating with 14 other people: take charge and order somerthing for every one. And order proportionately for the number of people. Ex. 15 people should have at least 3 of every dish.

 

Some photos from my new phone.

Still trying to get used to it. Phone is actually pretty good quality and has a great stability function. Too bad I can’t figure out how to use it most of the time.

Nokia e61i: My late christmas gift

 

I have been salivating after this phone since august. I love the form factor, voice quality, and wifi. A more thorough review in the weekend.

How do you celebrate your 101st post? With a BBQ!!! Not really, the bbq was randomly planned by my friend Charles Tadas and was, afterwards, decided upon as a way to celebrate leap year. Karaoke and BBQ. Nothing like it.

Christina fobbed out!
