New Years Eve 2005

Well this year I was lucky to get invited to two parties. I went with my parents to eat at Emerald Restaurant which is really nice and had good food. My dad's colleague was on stage with his band mates to perform. After dinner was over and I hung out with them for a little while, I headed over to my friend Arelene's home. Damn she had a nice home plus she had full on catering with some salsa dancers to boot. Check it out ...


New Years Eve party with my parents and other relatives. Later on my dad won a dvd/vcr player.


Just getting ready to head to the next party.


Went to my friend's home. Let me tell you it was a nice place. Check out the nice pool along with the area they setup for salsa dancing.


Later on we learn how to salsa from the hot looking girl. She had a really tight body ... as you can tell.

Holiday Bowl Parade

Well December 30, Mealani was not in school so I took her to work with me. She was doing homework and drawing while in my office. In fact she went around and made new friends with people who I work with. I even got to meet a couple of people I did not even know. Well some pics to show you how much she enjoyed coming to work that day. Also we went to the Holiday Bowl Parade and then went out to lunch later on at Wendys. Then grandpa came by and picked us up at 3pm.


Gosh can you tell who is a trouble maker. She went to work with me for the day and was making friends with all my co-workers.


Mealani with Kira at the Holiday Bowl Parade. We left work and then had lunch afterwards at Carl Jrs. She had a good time.


Look at the beautiful weather .. San Diego in mid December. Amazing that the rest of the world is having cold weather and yet we are having absolutely warm weather ... 80 degrees.

Christmas Day

This year Christmas occurred on Saturday. The nice thing was being able to celebrate it with my daughter however I wished that Lulu was also here to celebrate with us. It will not be until Christmas in 2007 I think before we get to do that.


Mealani opens up her Christmas gifts. See the big Care Bear she sleeps with.


Whoo look at the attitude ... the cow or Mealani.

Mealani opened her presents and later on in the afternoon, we went to see her previous teacher Miss Sherril. She loves Mealani like a daughter and Mealani also likes her too. One thing though is Mealani does not like to have a strict teacher so she sometimes she will be upset at her teachers.


Mealani is with her previous teacher Miss Sherril. She also brought along a present for Miss Sherril.

Later on that night we went to look at some Christmas decorated home. This one guy starts working on his home in October to get his house ready in time for Christmas.


We went to see some Christmas lights but this guy really knows how to do it ... it takes him almost 4 months to complete the house.


Mealani with Andre ... damn that kid is chubby.
