Update November 7, 2011:

It's been at least ten months since I last updated my life on my webpage. I want to thank everyone who visited my website. The statistics state my cooking and cosplay pages are the most visited. Thank you again!

Ending 2010. I ended 2010 riding the San Francisco Cable Car for the first time. Alien Cat and I rode the cable car from Market & Powell to Fishermen's Wharf at Hyde & Beach. I believe everyone should ride the cable car once in their lives. There are beautiful San Francisco scenes along the ride. The cable car was the first of many San Francisco activities heading to next year.

In 2011, we shopped at Union Square, walked in Chinatown, walked on the Golden Gate Bridge, ate at the San Francisco Food Festival, visited The Palace of Fine Arts, shopped at Filmore and Union Streets, and hiked at Angel Island State Park.

More Wisdom From Books. I read classics, juvenile, and today's best sellers:

• Lord Of The Flies by William Golding
• Hogfather by Terry Pratchett
• Tales Of A Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume
• Superfudge by Judy Blume
• The Old Man And The Sea by Ernest Hemingway
• To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee
• The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger
• The Wind In The Willows by Kenneth Grahame
• Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
• The Season by Patricia Hornung and Robin Moore

Earned An AA Degree. I finished De Anza College earning an AA degree in Accounting in Mar. 2011. I took Auditing in Spring '11 to finish the 2010-2011 academic year. I took a class on Quickbooks at Mission College. I'm searching for a job which is hard because of the slow economy.

I'm going to miss checking out DVDs at the De Anza library. I watched Chinatown, Rear Window, The Philadelphia Story, On The Waterfront, Jaws, King Kong (original), Singin' In The Rain, and A Streetcar Named Desire. And I'm going to miss the Social Dance classes.

In the theaters, I watched The Adjustment Bureau, X-Men: First Class, The Maltese Falcon, and Driver.

Tabletop Games. I played new board games for the first time: Guesstures, Set, Perplex City, 7-Wonders, Turns & Taxis, Citadel, Pandemic: On The Brink, Looting London, Scrabble Slam, Amorica, Race To The Galaxy, RA, and High Society. Playing board games with the guys and Alien Cat's game nights are always fun.

The game deserving special attention is MahJong. I play the Japanese version or Riichi. I'm still a beginner improving significantly. I memorized all the hands and learned how to score. I purchased my own set in Dec. 2010.

New Adventures In Hiking. Alien Cat and I like hiking. It's one of our favorite hobbies. We hiked part of Bay Front Park, Stanford University's The Dish trail, Coyote Point, Shoreline Park, Pulgas Ridge Open Preserve, Edgewood Park & Preserve and Rancho San Antonio.

I continue to find time watching anime given new interests and a change in activities. Some of the anime I finished are Ika Musume, Welcome To The NHK, Star Driver, Kimi Ni Todoke second season, Dog Days, Ano Hana, A Channel, Madoka Magica, No. 6, and Kamisama Dolls.

2011 Anime Conventions. I attended Fanime Con and Anime Expo. I debuted Medic from Team Fortress 2, my first video game cosplay. I want to thank my mom and dad for making the cosplay. This is my last year I attend Anime Expo yearly.

I also participated in the 2011 Northern California Cherry Blossom Parade. I wore my Syaoran from Tsubasa Chronicles cosplay.

First Woot T-shirt. The shirt is the nine planets on branches of a single tree.

Too Sick. I was sick three times. The first time was in Mar. It was serious I needed to visit an urgent care center on a Sat. I visited my primary doctor ten days later because I needed more anti-biotics. The last time I visited my primary doctor was Mar. 2008. I had Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). I realized the anti-biotics did little to help me recover. It might have made me worse.

The second time I was sick happened while I attended Anime Expo in July. I was introduced to daily vitamins for the first time. Thank you tsubasa for the vitamins. I made the best of Anime Expo despite being sick. Two of the four days I attended the convention center for half of a day. I believed it was allergies from the Los Angeles air and the cold nights in the hotel room. I recovered quickly days after I came home.

The third time I was sick happened in Sept. I had another RSV. It took me one week to recover. It must be the daily vitamins that helped me recover fast.

I blogged my March and September RSV. Click links for Mar. RSV and Sept. RSV

My first live hockey game at the HP Pavilion. It was also the first time I entered the HP Pavilion and first time I watched a live major sports playoff game. The San Jose Sharks defeated the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 in overtime.

New Smart Phone. I purchased the Motorola Droid X2 two days before Verizon ended the unlimited bandwidth on new contracts.

Farewell Borders. My last purchased was Vivaldi's Four Seasons CD.

Four years late. I played Portal four years later after purchasing The Orange Box. Portal is a great game with simple ideas. Anyone can play Portal regardless of video game experience. You need a little eye-hand coordination and some logic thinking.

More first times: Sang karaoke in a karaoke booth, bowled since 2007, ate at Fresh Choice since 2001, attended the Mountain View arts & crafts fairs, attended the Menlo Park street fair, watched a movie outdoors which was Indian Jones And The Last Crusade, attended the Gilroy Garlic Festival, ate at Sizzler since 2005, ate at Wienerschnitzel, and rode BART inside the Trans Bay Tube.
