• Meet Jai--My Very Bold, Very Loud, And Very Gay New Friend
  Posted on March 8, 2010 12:00AM
  
  
  A whole week passed. Sam bought me another shoe rack. As more weeks passed, mornings with Sam became a routine.
  
  It must be fun to have your own business. You don’t have to wake up early to clock in, and you can stay as late as you want without bothering to clock out. On most days, Sam would sleep in up to 9AM, so I had to cook breakfast for two (which was usually made up of fried eggs, bacon/meatloaf/sausage, and toast). But most of the time, I just gulp down a mug of coffee, grab a bagel, and go without waking him up.
  
  My new job turned out to be challenging. I feel the familiar rush of the new conquest and the foreplay-like build up whenever a copy is approved and sent to production. And every time I see my work up there in billboards/commercials/print ads, I experience a massive intellectual orgasm. Yes, no kidding!

• Me Versus Food
  Posted on December 30, 2009 12:00PM
  
  

  SAN FRANCISCO - Thanks to my dad's thin gene, I never had to worry so much about what I eat and the corresponding weight gain that goes with my food intake--not yet, at least. I love food and I'll eat almost anything, except perhaps the more exotic fare that have squiggly, once-alive creatures comprising the list of ingredients. I haven't gotten that far yet.
  
  My personal preferences are mostly Asian and a bit of European cuisines; I never was a big fan of American food. I was last here in the States a couple of years ago for nearly six months, and aside from my aunt's steak nights, the occasional fast-food during road trips, and the diner jaunts for when I was in old-timer mode, I rarely went near burgers, milkshakes, waffles, corn dogs, buffalo wings, pulled-pork sandwiches, mashed potatoes, and whatever else Americans are weaned on. I just don't like how heavily this sort of food sits in your stomach after the meal. Besides, I didn't want to put much stock on the thin gene--I never know when it'll let me down.
  
  This time around, though, I am more willing to give half-pounders a try because of a Travel Channel reality show called Man v. Food that my colleagues and I are nuts about. Basically, host Adam Richman goes from state to state, searching for the best food spots in each town and sampling their specialties for the benefit of all those people watching at home, eating bland popcorn. He also participates in one food challenge per episode, which always involves something crazy--like finishing a pizza with the same diameter as a ten-wheeler's tire in under an hour. It's the sort of thing only Americans will dream up.
  
  Luckily, Adam has made the rounds of San Francisco and the Bay area already, and one of the places he visited was The Olde San Francisco Creamery Co., conveniently located in Walnut Creek where my aunts work.
  
  

  

  The diner's old-fashioned sign puts you in a good mood right away even before you get to eat anything.

• A Bittersweet Moment

  We didn’t realize we were starving until our food arrived and we ate with gusto. He ordered Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham paste for me and Sinatra's Steak Omelet for him. And we both decided on pancakes for dessert.

  “You know what,” I started. “If tonight turns out to be Judgment Day, only Heaven ‘n Eggs will be saved.”

• Cuckoo Over Pancakes
  Posted on September 2, 2009 12:00AM
  
  
  Naturally, Eastwood on a Friday was more crowded than all gimik places combined. Worse, 75% of Eastwood’s populace consists of juvenile high school students who try to pass off as young adults with their heavy make-up and obligatory high heels; and emo freaks in dire need of long showers, good haircuts, and better fashion sense. The other 20% represents the zombie-like call center people who tread the walks of this once high-end locale with their forced second-rate English accent. Lastly, the remaining 5% are the unfortunate socialites who put up with all these shit because, well, they live in nearby condominiums.
