Greddy/Trust: Bankrupt.

Greddy, also known in Japan as Trust Industries is found to be bankrupt. It doesnt make sense to me because they seem to be selling well in the U.S. and Japan, for example their exhausts and turbo charger kits, and they have a D1 Spec S15 driven by Masato Kawabata. Also one of the largest Tuning shops in Japan, RE Amemiya, who specializes in rotary's, mainly Mazdas, are also sponsored by Trust and have been using their products for many years, and their D1 Spec Mazda FD3S RX-7 driven by Masao Suenaga is one of the top 10 drivers. Hopefully this ends up in a positive case, with nothing leading to the company coming to an end. Trust has been around since the mid 1970's, and Greddy came to the picture in the U.S. market in 1994, and during those times were when gross sales were going up, and now it is going down, down to almost $60million debt. Good luck to them, hopefully they get back on their feet and keep the import tuning industry strong, because they played a big roll in bringing it up, especially in the U.S.

San Francisco w/ Mom.

Today my Mom and I went to San Francisco, its been awhile to since we went together. First we went to Stonestown mall to see my cousin Jenny who is a hair stylist at Regis, its almost 3 years seeing her. After that we went to Japantown and went to visit Kenny at Fatlace, good to see pals in different areas. Then after J-Town we went Fisherman's Warf, and the funny thing is, I do not know how the heck I get my way around San Francisco...but I seem to know where everything is, hahaha! Once we got to Fisherman's Warf, we were really happy to be there since it has been like 5 years since the last time we were there together. And the best part was, we ate at my favorite restaurant, the Franciscan. Entrance. Clam Chowdaaah! Spicy Prawn. Team Segway. So many cars at the Warf, so many seagulls pooping.

2008 S.F. Aids Walk.

This was a couple of months ago, but I did not post it, to much to talk about so I will just make it short. This was my second time participating in the San Francisco Aids Walk under Gap Inc. The weather was completely the opposite of San Jose, it started to sprinkle on the way up there, and as we walked it was just chilly through out the day, but nice to feel cool weather for a change. It didnt seem like there was much people there compared to last year where it was literally like 20,000 people, this time it felt like 15,000, haha.

Tropic Thunder...Hilarious Also!

Today my Mom and I went to see Tropic Thunder, and it was a blast to watch. A lot of the action they portray pretty much exaggerates the typical war movies you see. And Robert Downey Jr. as a black guy was hilarious, he made the movie funnier than it was. 9/10.

Pineapple Express...Hilarious!

Today I went to go see Pineapple Express with Victoria, and I must say, for the 2 1/2 hours we were watching it...the whole time I was just cracking up. It wasnt like laughing out of my chair, but every scene was just simply funny. James Franco played a really good pot-head, he just made everything more funnier. I give it a 9 out of 10. And a full 10 if I was high, haha. Check it out soon.
