Berkeley Community Theatre - January 27, 2007
Don't know if you can tell, but I've just 'rediscovered' YouTube. Hehe. And so this weekend I've gone back and tried to rescue some of the videos I've taken in the past, but have always been imprisoned in my pc.
Earlier this year, Long had gotten tickets to see Keane, and insisted several times that I would like them. I was stubborn at first, but then I caved and listened to their two albums... and have been hooked since! The lyrics and melodies really get to me.
They were absolutely wonderful live. (Could it also be that I had my sweetie with me?) I hope I'll be able to see them in Europe some time. That would be so great!

4th of July Fireworks
This year I watched the fireworks again with friends at Santa Clara's Central Park. It was a perfect warm summer evening and we stopped at Kirk's Steakburgers to grab burgers before strolling over to the park for a picnic.
The fireworks show was great... especially the breathtaking finale that took everyone by surprise. The sky just burst into a cloud of glittery gold powder. I recorded some video and I loved how you can just hear everyone gasp in awe and disbelief at the pretty display. For some reason it just refuses to upload and believe me I've tried several times. So here is just some regular footage from the show. (You can hear some commentary in the background, thanks to Yvonne!)
I realize that I've celebrated quite a number of July 4th's. Even though I still see myself as foreigner, I do feel some twinges of loyalty and love for this country of USA. Countless of beautiful memories and friendships have been experienced here, and I will always carry them close to my heart.

A Thai Temple
Who knew there exists a Thai temple out in the Fremont foothills? Well, of course we weren't there on a Sunday to pray. (Although we did spend a couple minutes chanting with the monks).
We were there for the food!
We were there for the food!
Every Sunday volunteers will cook up authentic Thai dishes, which are offered to the public to raise money for the temple. We sampled almost everything - pad thai, grilled beef, chicken, fish wrapped in banana leaf, mango salad, noodle soup, sticky rice with mango and iced tea. It sounds like alot for just the 6 of us! Everything was about $5 on average. Tasty and for a good cause, right?
