Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き o-konomi-yaki) is a Japanese savory pancake containing a variety of ingredients. The name is derived from the word okonomi, meaning "what you like" or "what you want", and yaki meaning "grilled" or "cooked". Okonomiyaki is mainly associated with the Kansai or Hiroshima areas of Japan, but is widely available throughout the country. Toppings and batters tend to vary according to region. Tokyo okonomiyaki is usually smaller than a Hiroshima or Kansai okonomiyaki.
In Hiroshima, the ingredients are layered rather than mixed. The layers are typically batter, cabbage, pork, and optional items such as squid, octopus, and cheese. Noodles (yakisoba, udon) are also used as a topping with fried egg and a generous amount of okonomiyaki sauce.
The amount of cabbage used is usually three to four times the amount used in the more common Osaka style. It starts out piled very high and is pushed down as the cabbage cooks. The order of the layers may vary slightly depending on the chef's style and preference, and ingredients vary depending on the preference of the customer. This style is also called Hiroshima-yaki or Hiroshima-okonomi.

just got back from a Yosemite weekend with friends Jon (Joits), A.D. (PhotograFIST), Bee (Bee Plus) and her boyfriend Dan last night, and it was a very exciting and fun-filled weekend. it was so nice to get away from the city once in a while, but of course, i missed LA and the traffic. hehehe. it's nice to be back. i'd love to do this again...

06.08.08-06.14.08
06.08.08: sunday: again...
Game 2 of the 2008 NBA Finals
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics
Boston won... again, 108-102... :(
06.10.08: tuesday: visit...
paid a visit to my previous coworker's new office in Burbank. they have a better, way bigger and more bad-ass office than the one before in Culver City! they're with the same building as KIIS FM and KOST. and to top it off, they have a restaurant-bar downstairs called Savannah's. what more can you ask for?
so we watched Game 3 of the 2008 NBA Finals there and finally, Lakers won, 87-81... :)
06.12.08: thursday: devastated...
went and did some grocery shopping for the next day's early trip and got home to a great score of the first half of the Lakers/ Celtics Game 4... 24 point lead!!! wow...
but... towards the end of the game, most especially on the 4th quarter, what happened???? i was in serious shock as to what happened there... Celtics came back and took over the game making the final score 97-91... that's just wrong, so wrong. what happened Lakers? what happened?!?!
06.13.08: friday: trip...
off to Yosemite early friday morning. we've planned this a long time ago and now it came true. based on my experience and after all that planning, i feared that when i came that close, something might happen and i needed or rather have no choice but to stay. but yes! it went thru, thank god. we stayed there until Sunday morning.
