Guess who i discovered in Cafe Jupiter, none other than Adolph Yago. He's another "cavedweller" like the rest of us who have no office, only coffee shop hideouts. Adolph is an architect, here he is with his brand new 17" folding drafting table.

Had lunch at CPK with my bro and sis-in-law today. It was great to hang out with them. For my bday they gave one the most beautiful things you can give a guy...an Apple gift card. I think my bro was a little sad to part with it, but really, who could blame him.

Just look at my face, that's how you know I don't do this too often. You can't see it but someone's holding a gun to me.

Here we are at justin's bday karaoke party (that's him on the right). I'm not much of a singer - and since I don't drink excessively anymore, there's even less of chance of seeing the mic in my hand.

Lynnette took me out for some steak at the Black Angus Cattle Company for my continued bday celebration. Nuthin beats some steak, ice cream and a beautiful woman to pay for it (well...she's my wife, so in the end I pay for it somehow).

Back again at the office (cafe jupiter). Alex stopped in to eat lunch and Iqbal is another guy who frequents Jupiter, working on his new social networking application that will probably make millions after it is bought out by Google one day.

And one day I'll be able to say that I sat beside him at the "office" we both worked at.

Here i am at Cafe Juptier seeking some divine wisdom before I start my day. What I think is so helpful about reading some scripture in the morning is the way God helps give me a better/higher perspective on life before I rush ignorantly into it, or get totally imobilized by it.

I think I'm prone to being indecisive to the point of missing out on opportunities - not for business, but to make some sort of impact in somebody's life, which no doubt will affect my own. Anyway, I need all the help I can get.

My big brother took me out to lunch today , so I chose chinese food. My 2 choices were greasy and fatty with rice and noodles - it was delicious, don't worry I made sure I ordered a diet pepsi.

Here is my big bro, the smartest engineer I know, at his finest - talking on one phone, texting on another. You can't see it in the picture, but he's also solving calculus problems with his feet.

To me the word "Vacant", means "come on in, nobody in here, you are free to enter this empty space." So when I went to crack open the single bathroom door of the coffee shop that I was in, I was surprised to find a middle aged Japanese lady in a situation that most people would desire privacy for. She blurted something out in japanese, which probably translated to, "shut the stinkin door!"

Fortunately for both us, we never saw each other's faces. So after shutting the door I ran back to my table, buried my face in my laptop and pretended like I was there the whole time working. I made sure not to make any eye contact with her as she walked passed me. (btw, the picture below is a re-enactment).

Da fellas treated me to some Island Burger at Ala Moana for my Bday. Good times. Nothing like a cold frothy beverage,some beef, and good friends to make a guy smile (or make a stupid face).

We get together every Monday night to knock sense into each other and to encourage each other. God calls it "iron sharpening iron", it doesn't always feel good but something about each one of us is being refined and chiseled. Unfortunately this has no effect on the shape of our physical bodies.
