San Francisco baby...:P



So here we're at San Francisco already. After 8 hours of ear-buzzing and back-slouching flight, we finally made it. Tita Anna and her friend from church (Bro Daniel something) picked us up at the airport, then we went to eat at a buffet resto some place nearby. Though it took us about more than 20 minutes of waiting (there were a lot of people by the way), the food was all worth it (mandarin buffet wouldn't even compare to the several variety of dishes that they serve there). Probably it took us more than an hour gobbling sushi and all the seafood stuff after that. It was fun seeing lotsa people around. Chinese, Filipinos, Latinos, Whites, Blacks, name it. Random conversations were exchanged at our table while we were busy eating. And did I mention the food was great??? Anyway, right after we were done bro Daniel handed me his car key. Yes, he let me drive his car. Sweet... and It was fun driving all the way from the Chinese buffet resto to Tita Anna's house (it's her boss's actually). HAHA! And as always, they were all nervous of my poor driving skills. Roads are twisty with sharp turns, and after running over a lot of bumps here and there, we still made it at home safe (take note, it was already dark then). It's my first night here at SF and they let me drive already:) Good thing I have a live gps navigation person right beside me.






Then we went to grab some coffee at Starbucks. And I would say, their coffee isn't that perfect. Yes, it's my first time to ever taste it. Not because I can't afford to buy myself a cup before, it's just that i don't want to patronize it. Three bucks a cup, what a rip-off. They're just over-charging people for what? Wi-Fi connection that not everybody could use? (coz not everyone who goes there has a laptop to use). Forget it. I'll just settle with our good 'ole coffee maker at home.

Hmmm.. Tita's boss's house is great.. not big, but beautiful. Hamlet and Isabelle (black labrador and golden retriever), they're friendly and cuddly. Tita's room? I like it so much.. small but comfy, stuffy but not cluttered. Wireless connection? FREE!!! Anywhere you go in the area, wireless networks are all over the place.. Oh, this is Heaven...

Tomorrow is church day. Yes, another Filipino community Christian church. It's gonna be my first time to attend and i'm gonna have to wake up early, so i better get going and try get some sleep. Until tomorrow:P
