U.G.L.Y Xmas Sweater Party

12.4.09

Like a cold winter breeze blowing us into 2010
Kenmazing Lam is back flowing on these pages once again
Chang and Miller devising the perfect party to light up this holiday season
The U.G.L.Y Xmas Sweater party is a must attend, that is your reason
Nothing like ridiculous gag gifts for the Dirty White Elephant
Awesome friends, one night, 3 destinations, is heaven sent
How many possible Lotto winners can you have in one night
Leanna chanting "Look at my puppies" was an eye popping sight
The Dirty Clapper was a huge fan favorite to help condone laziness
When it came to the Starbucks Holiday gift box, a heated debate developed between Kenneth and Big Sis
From "You don't drink coffee" to " Now I will"
The realization that the package already expired, Maggie, "What the hell?!"
Engulfing garbage pies and downing plenty of Flat Tire beer
Every bystander glancing at us in admiration as we flaunt our old fogey gear
With untamed curiosity, we all pressed the Red Button in the restroom
Good thing we passed on the suicide pizza, or else our tongues would of gone kabooommmm!
Females love to spoon, but males much rather fork
There's nothing Nikia can't do next year when she moves to Brooklyn, New Yorrrrrrkk!
Unaware of our stroll to our third and final destination
The small British pub introduced Dark Hef as a last attempt to satisfy our insatiable sensation
Jamie's comment of "TOO MUCH HEAD" in one glass appeared like a volcano on verge of eruption
Heidi " The Good Girl Vampire" was on the verge of draining my neck like a vacuum suction
As we say our good-byes to a ridiculous year of two-zero-zero-nine
The whispers of Raunchy Prom Night to rewrite our yearbooks
Is our kick-ass way of welcoming 2010 as another one of a kind!

Merry Dirty Xmas Everyone! XOXO

The Man In The Leopard Jacket

7.31.09

The ideas of Studio 54 at Studio 17 came to light
When our one and only Pasadena resident, Ken-mazing Lam, was officially given the keys to the city on this very night
Sleepless nights brainstorming the perfect outfit to wear
Maggie tinkering back and forth with either the 80s or 70s
Please dear, I love you to death, but make up your mind I swear
Once the powers to be decided on the Disco theme
The Man in the Leopard Jacket was reborn
Determined to dance the street of Colorado Blvd to the beats of Billie Jean
The infamous orange chicken teriyaki made its way to Kitchen Stadium
Jasmine couldn't stop eating the citrus bits of brilliance
She kept on repeating over and over, "I can't stop eating themmmmm"
Chicken Pies from Portos arrived along with Rebecca's plus one
She quickly identified what's missing from Studio 17
A microwave and TV is what you need 'son'
Bubbly champagne was swished in our mouths like Gold Listerine
Potato Vodka with Pomegranate Italian Soda
Became a big hit like James Dean on the silver screen
Tipsy turby in our own little crazy fashion
Off we go to Villa Sorriso
Watch out Pasadena, here comes the Lady Assassin

The entourage of Studio 17 changes venues to the Italian destination
Beats resonating into the air of 91101
The alchemy of lust has bodies dancing in hypnotic vibration
Thirsting for energy the crew turns to the bar upstairs
Cranberry Vodka, Chivas On The Rocks, SoCo & Lime
Friends dancing their asses off like we just don't care
The arrival of Dave and Aileen always brings something special
Like the free gift found inside Cracker Jacks
Open happiness is just as advertised by the new Coke commercial
Engagement like announcements of Dave and I going to Germany next year
Maggie shaking recklessly and endlessly with her gifted derriere
The dynamic duo of Kristy and Kenneth waving our arms like we can reach the sky
The Legendary Mind Eraser is the ultimate 9th inning closer
Singing at the bar to the tunes of "Tonight is going to be a good nighhhh"
I can go on and on with the rest of the Hangover story
However, I don't wanna kiss and tell
Some things are meant to be LIVED on our one night of glory

See u y'all when I get back.

Love, Kenneth

Studio 17

In the United States, July 4th marks the celebrated declaration of independence from Great Britain. On the other hand, July 6th marks MY separation from The Heights (i.e. Rowland and Hacienda). It is on this day I, Kenneth Lam, depart from the mother ship, and become an inhabitant of the beloved City of 91101, Pasadena. It's funny how things can transform from one thing into another in a matter of two weeks. From aggressively looking for a home, to finding a studio rental out of the numerous postings from craigslist. Don't get me wrong, the overall goal of finding a home is still intact like gum stuck on your shoe; however, a needed departure from my comfort zone was long over due. Plus, how can I complain when I'm only 3 miles away from work. Maybe I can run a 10K to and from work...NOT! But you get the picture of how spoiled I am at this point. Elvis has left the building......

1st Week in Studio 17

For those who don't know, I'm an extreme foodie. Love to eat, love to watch other people eat, love to cook, and love to goto the supermarket just to stock up the refrigerator. Like a honeycomb surrounded by bees (don't know why I used this analogy...hehe), I'm constantly surrounded by food. I live and die by one of my rule of thumbs in life, do not starve to death. My first observations of grocery shopping in Pasadena, it's freaking expensive. Since Paseo Colorado is ridiculously a few minutes from my place, I decided to pick up some stuff from Gelson's. Big mistake. With convenience, comes mucho dineros $. To make matters worse, I made two visits...lol. So during the week, I visited Pavilions, Mitsuwa, and 99 Ranch Market comparing prices left and right for things I will use in Kitchen Stadium. When it comes to food, I'm an extreme F.O.B to the tenth power. Even before I arrive to places like Spain and Las Vegas, the first thought that comes to mind is what kind of Asian food will I eat. To display my patriotism, I will support our economy through the Asian markets. It is a sound financial and practical decision. That being said, comes my first two meals in Studio 17:

Farfelle w/ Peas and Anchovies


Ironic, how my first meal is Italian....haha.

Gyudon (Japanese Beef Bowl w/ Rib Eye "Shabu Shabu" Beef)


Let the Japanese invasion begin!

The highlight of the week came when my Simmons Beautyrest Classic "Sunflower" Plush Queen-Sized Mattress Set arrived. No more sleeping on my futon. After I paid a visit to Pho Siam (http://www.phosiam.com/), my body was back to normal. Thank you Thailand (Khob-Kun-Krub)!
