SJ SF


the first day we flew into san jose and played with my nephew dean and ate at my sister's place.  dean wobbles around and has the same obsessive-compulsive-keep-everything organized trait as my sister.  he's a really happy and cute baby.

the next morning we went san fran by cal train and ate at china town for lunch (worst meal;  apparently later we learn that there is no good chinese resturants in SF's china town) .  walked about union square, moma, papabeard and met up with wenny's cousin/cousin-in-law for dinner at the fairy building.  (also bumped into a former "celebrity" tawanese vj and a girl we both though was attactive; just mentioning it to be fair =P) dinner, we ate at an expensive oyster bar and i had this amazing clam chowder filled with fresh steamed clams in the shell.  next day we had a picnic out past the presidio outlooking the golden gate bridge, bay, mountains, and downtown city.   its a nice place.

we did a bunch of other touristy things but it was really fun as we stayed however long or short we felt like.  overlook of the city, lombard street, deyoung, looked at bison, visited various neighborhoods, saw robbin william's pink house, and drove down the hilly roads of sf.  for dinner we ate at "foreign cinema" they play old movies off a projector to a outside white cement wall and audio is fed through "drive-through movie" speakers.  the movie is different every night and so is the menu.  movie was breakfast with tiffany's and it was your fancy resturant menu.  ate live sea urchine (which we agreed it tasted kinda like paint, or at least somethign very chemical).  food was good.  restaurant is rather unique, every seating section is extremely different from the others. 

train backed to sj and we hung out with dean more, had dimsum, walked around sanata cruz / mall area (main hangout spots in the area), ate my sister's cooking, and the next day in and out.

last leg of my flight got delayed due to heavy winds, then i missed the 2am train because of the awful reps telling us the wrong information.  next train was at 5. and they just said.. its only 3 more hours.

still the best flight i've had

i have great car luck

Woke up early this morning so I could buy this for my not-so-computer-fluent and even more computerless sister before work this morning.  Walking around the back of my car and after putting my lunch in the back seat, I stepped into my car to see the hopes that lay forth this rainy monday morning.



freaking owned.


at least it wasnt leaking.

Twenty Three

so this is it.  wow i can't believe how old 23 sounds.


remember that 'where do you see yourself in 5 years' question in highschool? it felt like forever. but we tried to fathom what it will be like with dreams and aspirations.  some so lofty and some so concrete. (i actually had no aspirations whatsoever, go figure.)   but anyways... i feel like now i know whats going on.  i feel more confident in my life.  my faith.  my relationships. my friends. my family. my hopes even dreams.  they are concrete.  they make more sense to me then i thought they would ever.  i do feel love.. i do feel wiser...

yet.. why can't i grab that life and live it. bleghh. (=


my life is interesting.
about a year ago.. i wasn't an uncle
about a year ago.. i had but one home
about a year ago.. i dreaded this moment

so far..

i have been thrown to a part of nj that is completely foreign.  "central nj".

yes really folks.  crazy even to me but jersey can be divided into sections.


another chapter another page...
to all-- remember to breathe.  right now. will be worth remembering.
to you-- hold on



=)  =)  =)



my sister has crazy hair and loves using my nephew as a prop =P

DSC00027

My old home. The new owners painted the shutters black and got some new things around the house. Notice the pine tree to the left of the picture. Its half charred because I lit it on fire during those early flame-fascinated high school days (ok i was a pyro). I remember my parents coming home later that day and talking amongst themselves about the tree that got ravaged by deer...

ahh.. the memories
