Late Post - Birthdays

Feel like posting these clips now from my siblings recent birthdays. My brother Justin, who I call Abung (means older brother in Indonesian), turned 25 on Christmas (12/25/83). Leliane, my younger sister, turned 19 this past Sunday (1/4/90). I take a crazy amount of pictures each time, however these are my favorites.



I had made my brother a cake the previous night at Gabe's house. It was just instant cake, I didn't have as much money as I'd like to make it even more special, and also I had messed up on it several times and this was the only good take. It was good though, next year I'll make a super duper Dr. Suess cake with colors and whatnot. That night he didn't want to do anything and we just stayed in. It was a quiet and chill Christmas.

Leliane's birthday we had gone to San Francisco and her plan was to go ice skating in Union Square and then go eat at Blondie's Pizza. That afternoon while we got ready, she asked if it would be better if we ate at the Ghiradelli factory. I said it was up to her, and then she changed her mind and the plan was changed to eat there.

...Leliane didn't plan anything consistant. Once we got to Union Square the ice rink was "too small," and she didn't want to skate. We ended up walking around Union Square, then we headed toward the Cannery behind Ghiradelli. We find out there's no specific Ghiradelli factory restaraunt..

so ...instead we go to South San Francisco near the airport to eat at Beijing Buffet. ...What the hell Leliane.

And here she is talking to herself after the whole night. She was changing the bed covers and she didn't realize I was recording.
