Well, its official! Junko Watanabe and Paolo Ziemba are a married couple! The Ceremony is not until September 20th 2008, but we took care of the legal part, March 7th to be exact, so that we could get the paperwork rolling for my wife's green card etc...and then next year we'll have another wedding in Japan... sweeeeeet! Its been awhile since i posted anything so be prepared for a few more things, parties and outings, to come your way from this truly happy man! - peace!

Thanksgiving Day!!!

So it is official! On November 22nd 2007 I proposed to my beautiful sweet and she said yes... We were in Palm Springs relaxing at the Sea Mountain Resort and Spa for the day when I took Junko to dinner, had them serve us Champagne in the middle of the meal, got down on my knee and asked for her hand in marriage...and she said yes!!!! It was very romantic and so special, like a dream, where the two of us were the most happy couple in the world...I love this woman and I have devoted my life to making her as happy as can be...we will have a great life together and a great family too!!! I can't wait to take my beautiful to Chicago for the holidays to celebrate with my family and then in February too meet with her family in Singapore and to celebrate there...more later.

At The Party!

This past weekend a certain movie I was working on had a little get together and a few guests showed up...we had a good ole time drinkin' and eatin' by the pool! Here's a few pics of us...more to come - Peace!

Weekend Festivals

On the 22nd of July Junko and her crew, Balady 1, performed live at the Montebello Obon Festival. They did a great job...I don't have any pictures of them performing for I was the video guy for the day so I will hopefully get to edit that together and will post it up soon. I was all dressed up for the festival...and I couldn't find any pictures of me..whoops...

Obon Festival is a holiday in Japan where they honor the departed. There was live music, singing, dancing, and food! Junko and Balady 1 did perform again this past Thursday and will rest a bit till they get their strength back. Great job girls!!!

Local Indian Foodz

Junko and I in the past 2 weeks hit up a couple of local Indian restaurants, one in LA and one in Santa Monica. The results are in and we both agree that Little India in Artesia is the real deal and worth the drive. The food is better there and you can't beat the prices. We hit Dhaba Restaurant in Santa Monica and Bombay Cafe in Los Angeles and it seemed that they were both an American twist on Indian food. Not to say that they were bad, but we just wanted the real deal closer to home. Dhaba at least had the atmosphere, but I believe that Bombay Cafe had the better cuisine(Star watch: We sat a few tables down from tv star Christa Miller of sitcom Scrubs!!!...wow!?) - Peace
