Precious moments.

15/100 (03.15.09)

If there's one thing I've been feeling recently...
no I've been feeling this way and felt this way for a while... but yeah...
I really enjoy those little precious moments...

a little joke with friends, a little laughter with people, enjoying some good food with friends and family...
watching little kids laughing and smiling over nothing...
sometimes those moments can be very easy to just let them pass by us and take them for granted...


but no....

all of those little moments add up and make a big memory...
make a big smile later on your day...
give you something joyful to look back....


I want to make and remember more of those little memories during this trip.
meet with more people.
people with genuine hearts... someone who cares of others...
making such memories are so precious and priceless...
for some people, those memories last a long time... including my self.



I see people...
and try to understand each person where they are coming from...
I see their attitudes...
especially when they are encountering with a stranger...
as a stranger, and no body to the place... it is very special feeling when someone approaches me and greets me just because I came to the place where they are used to....
Miami was a place where I felt very welcome...

anyhow.

I want to be able to make those little memorable experiences to the people I meet.
Just by saying Hello. but in a silly way maybe... or something to make that person smile...
laugh... and don't think about the worries they have...
to give them something joyful and positive....

Ken, Justin, and I went to the China Town in DC 7th and H. next to the Verizon Center.

main reason we went to the china town was to go to Chinese Buffet and eat alot... ALOT!!!
but the first restaurant we went to wasn't a buffer place..
so Ken suggested we go check out the place where they make their own noodle.
"Chinatown Express"

as we walked around the corner, I saw a big window and saw this guy stretching his noodles out... pretty impressive!





walked into very small restaurant, tables were right next to each other...
really close together...
hardly had any space to walk in to seat.

we decided to order few plates and share... since that's how it always works. hahahaha

half order of Peking Duck, 2 orders of dumplings, Beef Lo Mein, and Lobster Fried Rice.
dumpling was a bit bland... i think because the skin part was bit too thick and the stuffing was too blended to taste and feel the texture. but still better than average.


Beef Lo Mein and Lobster Fried Rice...
wow...
probably the best LoMein i've tried so far. of course... all the chinese food I've tried are just fast food places.. but still the noodle was very thick and tender... almost like Udon noodle...
Lobster Fried Rice.... man... haha good stuff!!! a bit pricey for tiny bit of lobsters inside.. but the taste was good.

Peking Duck.... I thought we ordered a half duck... but it was almost like quarter duck... quarter of body.... hmm anyhow it was very small for the price.

but again it tasted really good. haha
Loved everything!!!




after lunch, we watched Watchman....
I was hoping it to be a "SUPER HERO MOVIE"
but it was more of intellectual philosophical mind bothering movie...
no..... it was good....
yes....
I guess....
Justin and Ken enjoyed it so that's all good. hahaha

anyhow..
our time in DC was pretty good!

good food,
good talk,
good laughters,
good company...


listening Ken's stories about Marines.... and his job was the best of course. hahaha

hmmm maybe.... I can call up on them when I have my first big show.. and have them do all the honors and the good stuff.. haha


anyhow.

we are going to Virginia....
to West Virginia..
and to BOSTON!
