There was a somewhat bigger than average earthquake (Magnitude 5.4) centered at Chino Hills (few miles west of us) that hit us yesterday (for more scientific information, check here).  It certainly was a big jolt, as I felt it at work and Jeannie felt it on the road in the car.  But we are glad [...]

Congrats to Garrett, who is finally finished with hell and now moved on onto the paridise called Hawaii.  He’ll be both saving the planet by driving a green car and saving children from bad teeth at the same time, a super retarded hero of sorts, starting next week!  Congrats buddy!  Mention this blog when you [...]

We were there yesterday after work to return stuff, and on our way back we saw this pretty awesome vending machine that I’ve only seen online where they are in use overseas. Pretty cool I say, too bad it wasn’t turned on yet.

This past weekend was the grand opening of the Chino Hills’ new outdoor The Shoppes, which we got all hyped up about the week before and couldn’t wait to go check it out.  Well, we did this weekend, and it was quite a letdown.  I guess it probably had to do with half of the [...]

We had big plans over the past weekend, but unfortunately, it was just so freaking hot outside (~100F) that they did not get executed. What were the plans you ask? Bah… Doesn’t matter anymore because it didn’t happen. The summer weather is just so HOT here in the inlands that it makes you just want [...]
