I haven’t had a chance to update my blog in a while. This is mostly due to lower back/hip pains I have been suffering – likely arthritic since it started when the weather suddenly started feeling like “winter.”
It’s simple math: Lower back/hip pains = restless sleep = fatigue during the day = me so grumpy.
I decided to sell much of the RC collection I just recently acquired. I realized that I started to stray from my original purpose (which was only to collect carbon fiber racer chassis.) Also, I’m getting kind of tired dealing with eBay scammers. You regular eBayers know what I’m talking about. So I put most of the kits up for sale. LOL. I know – wth? I will continue to collect, but be a bit more picky with what I will what I buy. And I probably won’t buy from eBay any longer. You can click here to see what I have been selling. A few auctions finish tonight…so I will be busy getting all these kits packed up throughout the week. As I am writing this, my F104 Ferrari that I worked so hard to build, sold for $356!!! Wow, that’s kind of crazy LOL.
I recently acquired a TRF415 racing chassis kit. This was my dream RC kit just before I jumped into nitro powered cars. With a $600+ pricetag, I never thought I would ever buy one…until I happen to run into an eBay auction for one! While I have been nursing my back, I have been spending time putting this car together. Why am I building it? Well, the kit was not 100% mint and complete after receiving it (and it was supposed to be) so I was able to negotiate the final auction price of $230 down to $130! Even at $230 this kit was a bargain! But this is another reason why I no longer want to use eBay. It’s such a pain in the ass dealing with these transactions that go sour.
We received our Netflix Streaming Disc for the PS3 – Yippeee….just another cool way to watch our Instant Queue in Netflix.
We hit Seafood City in Concord. Seafood City FTMFW!!! Ranch 99? Forget about it. Le Asia? Forget about it. Pretty soon Jollibee, Chow King, and Red Ribbon will be opening inside of the Seafood City complex! Pinoy!
We payed a visit to the Manny Pacquiao billboard in Niketown…and also picked up a few limited editions shirts!

I’ve had Furlough Fridays for a month now, but I have been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to take advantage of the “free” time.
My Furlough Friday plan for 10/30:
I’ve been sick, off and on, ever since our return from Hawaii 
I’ve been playing Uncharted 2 – almost done! I purchased a region-free DVD player. Yay for authentic JDrama DVDs! I can’t wait to hit the little JTown shop that carries all of our favorite JDramas! I wish the Bay Bridge wasn’t broken – I’d probably go to the city since the weather has been so nice.
Schweet!

I finished Uncharted on the PS3 just before leaving for Hawaii! What a great game! As soon as I returned, I started Uncharted 2! When you think a game couldn’t get any better, it does!
I caved and joined Twitter. All of the tech personalities I follow use Twitter as their primary method of delivering information, so I had no choice if I want to keep up to date. Along with creating a Twitter account, I also created a Tweetdeck account and installed the application to my MacBook and iPhone. To shorten up URLs I also created a bit.ly account. Feel free to follow me – I created a Twitter feed on the far right panel of my blog. I will probably use Twitter (through Tweetdeck) for status updates and have it deliver to Facebook whenever deemed appropriate. I have been negleting Facebook, but I may get back into it now that I have it synced up with Tweetdeck. It’s so much easier to manage now that I have my social networks unified!
My RC collection continues to grow. I just purchased more carbon fiber in the form of the Tamiya #58230 TRF415. I have been constantly landing stellar deals on eBay. I don’t plan on keeping a lot of the standard kits – they were mostly purchased at low cost for future profit. All of the carbon fiber kits are going to stay in my collection. Check out my TamiyaClub showroom to see everything in my collection.
Now that I’m back home from the funeral, I’m feeling a bit sick again. Stomach turning, fatigue, and a little insomnia.

It’s 12:50am Sunday morning and I can’t sleep.
I feel like I haven’t haven’t had a decent night of sleep in almost a month.
Being in Hawaii 10 days was great, but no matter how nice a bed we slept in, it simply wasn’t “our” bed. Immediately, after returning from Hawaii, I came down with the flu (even after getting the flu shot 3 weeks prior.) I guess it could have been worse – it wasn’t so bad, but just as I am beginning to recover, we suddenly had to make a last minute trip to Oxnard for a funeral.
I have been so “off” that when we left Dublin heading toward Oxnard I realized that I forgot to bring my suit! Ugh! So we drove back – which added another hour to the entire trip! We were already in Fremont when I realized I had forgot it.
We’ve had to miss a few events that were planned over the weekend, but it was nice to console some good friends in their time of grief.
Another day, another bed, another sleepless night.
I’m glad that SheryAnne’s neighbor in Oxnard upgraded their router. Now I get full bars on my MacBook! LOL Noobs.

It’s cold.
Big time jet lag.
One of the few vacations where I didn’t get homesick LOL. Usually you say “it’s good to be home.” meh. I’d still like to be away from reality.

Yesterday we hit Waimea beach but the lifeguards warned of treacherous rip currents. I went in briefly…and jumped right out. Wow – that undercurrent was way too strong to fight! We enjoyed the sun and a little bit of rain. We hit Ala Moana mall again and brought home more CDs and DVDs!
Today, after breakfast at Eggs ‘n Things (which is a must-do whenever in Waikiki) we hiked to Manoa Falls. It was pretty tough, but worth the effort. Our white shoes are now red from the sand! I will post some pictures from our cameras. It was a grueling 2 mile hike overall. It had to have been one of the most beautiful hikes we have ever been on! No joke! The scenery was even better than anything we’ve seen in Kauai! Definitely an island secret that most out towners don’t know about! I have a revived appreciation of Oahu. We’ve always enjoyed the resorts, beaches, and shopping in the past and we continue to enjoy those aspects on this trip as well…but this time, we really had a chance to swallow a lot of the hidden beauty of the island.
After the hike, we cleaned up a bit and hit this Pho shop – total hole in the wall, but everyone on Yelp swears by it – even the locals, so we had to try it as it was only one block away from us – and indeed, it was fantastic – real broth, not canned YAY! Vietnamese owned and vietnamese cooked as well! No mexicans involved, I swear! I’ll be creating a Yelp account here pretty soon since we have enjoyed so many restaurants. It will be a good way to share our experiences as well.
We finished off the evening walking the Hawaiian Village – Lapperts and the Lagoon!
The Goods: More CDs from Shirokiya
The Eats: Eggs ‘n Things, Pho Mihn Thu, Lapperts
