Star Sighting, Relaxing Weekend, and more

March 28, 2010

Can a person really be perfect? well, maybe… this girl is a good example that such may indeed exist- presenting Michelle Wie.

I got to see her up close and personal (?) over the weekend. Couple things pleasantly surprised me- she’s huge (from what I hear and saw, she’s about 6 ft) yet very fit and slim for her height. She’s got long, tan, muscular legs and arms… with a really small oval face that every Korean girl would die for. She carries herself very well and is stylish. She also has showmanship: she changed her hair style 3 times during the game. I understand that’s a lot of info yet I haven’t even touched upon her background. She’s the typical “daughter of mom’s friend (I wrote about this when I did a post on Kim, Yuna): she comes from a well-educated family (her father is a professor– and she gets 50 pts for this fact alone in the Korean community :P ), goes to a prestigious school (Stanford- ugh like another 50 pts), is hugely talented (world-class golfer; ok she’s already exceeded max pts but yet deserves another 50), is well-mannered and beautiful. uhh… so is God really fair? In her case, I don’t know… lol but anyhoo, although she pretty much bombed the game yesterday, I still enjoyed watching and following her around though my feet hurt like crazy (bad idea to be wearing chucks). I wished I knew more about golf, but with an “almost pro’s” help (aka dad), was I not only able to learn a bit about golf, but enjoy it like an experienced gallery should. :)

While golf and Michelle Wie’s all good, I’ve been craving a weekend that looks something like this:

palm trees, beautiful sunny cali weather, nice occasional breeze, a bottle of water, sound of water trickling down a water fountain, and my favorite fashion magazine… too bad I only got to enjoy it for ten minutes yet it was absolutely rejuvenating and relaxing!

After the game, headed back to Orange County to pig out…

Kitayama

I wanted to take my parents here ever since my first and last visit a few months ago. I was thoroughly impressed with the craftsmanship and quality of food and expected the same, if not more, for dinner… yet I regret to say that I was not 100% satisfied. While I admit that the sashimi/sushi were some of the best I’ve had, other dishes were just average. What frustrated us most was the service. It took a good 15 minutes for one dish to be served and let me tell you- after walking around the golf course for 4-5 hours, we were dead tired not to mention starving. oh and the portions were unbelievably tiny. Probably won’t be going back for dinner anytime soon. Maybe.. for lunch. I still do like their lunch combination. Bottom line is that I can probably find plenty of other places that serve better sushi at that price. boo~:P
