Pull!!!!

This past weekend was filled with new adventures, and great friends. It started out by being a very chill friday at work, even got to go home a bit early since it was extremely dead at work, then tried out a new Japanese restaurant that turned out to be fantastic. Saturday was the real WIN! I put together a " Day for men!" for my close guy friends; Steve, Vin, Gabe, Melvin and Tony. Except for the fact that Melvin slept in and missed the first half. Anyways, I had the guys meet at my house at 9 a.m.. Pretty tough considering the previous night was probably filled with alcohol, dancing, and women. However, they surprised me when they showed up at my doorstep at 9:10am. Great job! Sooooo, we made our way to Wal Mart, and picked up some 12 Gauge birdshot shotgun ammo. For what you ask, well for a shotgun of course! Duh! We purchased one box of 25 rounds each, which came out to $5 a person. After making our purchase, we made a slight detour to pick up my coworker Doug, who was going to be our shotgun supplier, and guide as far as Trap shooting goes. Yes, Trap shooting! Sunnyvale Rod and Gun club has a beautiful range in Cupertino, and it is open to the public. Just $5 a round, and you get to test your skills at shooting down 25 discs. I guarantee, after playing a round, you will ask yourself, " Why the hell did I ever just stand in a range, and shoot a paper target that cost way more!?" Doug went first of course to show us how things were done. Then Steve went since he had gone before. Then Gabe went, then Vin, then myself, then Tony. So! 25 targets, how did we do?!

The standing results were:

4th place: Gabe and Tony, both with 5 discs shot down
3rd place: Steve with 6 discs shot down

and the winner!!!!!!!!!!

with 12 discs shotdown!!!!!

Goes to Alvin Dizon!

Good job you bastard. Haha! Alvin beat me for the title by 1 shot. I scored 11! Not bad for our first time out! Well needless to say, Im officially hooked on trap shooting. Im probably going to go again this tuesday afternoon after work. I'm even pondering on purchasing a shotgun just so i can go shoot when i please. But we shall see. I know my mom won't approve, and I have too many hobbies as it is. Well as for the second half of "Man Day", we went to Cleo's Brazilian Steakhouse! If you've never had brazilian style steakhouse, than you need to go here. Located in South City, Cleo's offers some of the best quality meats around. Melvin finally was able to join is, for the food of course. This was my 2nd time eating there within a year, and I enjoyed it even more the second time, than i did the first time. Excellent food! Just be prepared to drop around $25, which isn't bad considering the amount of food you're receiving. All in all, a successful day, a " day of man" hahahaa! Gotta love these guys!

Here's a vid of me taking out that damn orange disc!
