Coming home and Mike's bday @ D&B's

So I took some time-off to come home last weekend. It was also Mike's ___ birthday last friday. His birthday dinner celebrated at Dave & Busters. It was also our Congrats party
for him since he passed his CPA (Certified Public Accountant) board exam. Yay!



His youngest brother Matt and his friend Anne came all the way from Chicago to visit him.

Then after D&B's we went to Arirang for some Karaoke!









And.....here's one of my renditions from the Karaoke night..I like it how my friend Greg is singing along with me in the background. :)

my cover of Take a bow by Rihanna (live karaoke version)

Then the next day we (with Matt and Anne) had dinner at Gordon Biersch, though the plan was to hang-out at San Jose Bar and Grill. It was okay though, we went to the Temple bar instead. Just for a little bit. How I realize, I miss the night life. :)

love the garlic fries!




yummers!

Then...next day we just strolled around Haight and Ashbury in San Francisco
And nothing really, didn't do any shopping. Just had a hot white chocolate mocha for a cold weather. So good!



And it was all nice to hang out with my family again...And to be able to hug this little boy!


Yay!!!

That's all for tonight!

Oh btw, above is my cover for Take a bow, here's my cover for the Acoustic version. Hope you like it!

Take a bow (Acoustic Version)

Oh, How about a round of applause, Yeah
A standing ovation
Oooooo, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

You look so dumb right now
Standing outside my house
Trying to apologize
You’re so ugly when you cry
Please, just cut it out

[Chorus]
Don’t tell me you’re sorry cuz you’re not
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
You really had me going
But now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it’s over now (But it’s over now)
Go on and take a bow

Grab your clothes and get gone (get gone)
You better hurry up
Before the sprinklers come on (come on)
Talkin’ bout'
Girl, I love you, you’re the one
This just looks like a re-run
Please, what else is on (on)

[Chorus]
And don't tell me you’re sorry cuz you’re not
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
You really had me going
But now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it’s over now (But it’s over now)
Go on and take a bow

[Bridge]
Oh, And the award for
The best lie goes to you (goes to you)
For making me believe (that you)
That you could be faithful to me
Let's hear your speech, Oh

How about a round of applause
A standing ovation

But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
Now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it’s over now (But it’s over now)
Go on and take a bow
But it’s over now

hi Diane!
just doing some blog hopping. tagal kong absent, busy eh.

that song has been on my ipod playlist for days now, halos LSS na nga eh. ewan ko, ramdam na ramdam ko ang lyrics. nyahahaha! it's weird lang na everytime meron akong fave song at the moment eh nagkakataon na yun yung cino-cover mo. hehehe =) great rendition.

eh kung umuwi ka na lang kaya ni Pinas at kumanta sa ASAP '09? hehehe =)

Nag B-day na naman si Mike (like I'm complaining, haha)? I too, would be blushing with the singing a bday song in a resto. Dibale, he got a free cupcake with candle to blow naman.

Parang I've seen these photos na, your steak, your big coca-cola drink, the song, the karaoke (minus the basketball race).

Double Cheers to Mike, for passing and celebrating his bday, lucky you guys. What's next? Ahem....

That was a fun night, and an even better weekend. Thanks again for coming over for it bb =) Matt and Ann had a great time also. Too bad they were only here for a couple of days.

Mmmmm...your D&B's chicken looks good right about now, even though I just ate.

Can't wait to see you again this weekend. I'm sure you'll be blogging about this next trip, followed by a picture story of course.
