Holiday spirit

Thanksgiving is definitely one of my favorite holidays. Besides the fact that my birthday lands on the same week, it's also a time for reflection. So what am I thankful for? That questions carries all the way through Christmas and New Years. The most obvious answer is my family. Especially my 3 little sisters, whom I feel truly bless to share my life with. Even though it seem like I always preach, giving them advice actually helps me stay in control with my own life. I think it'd be hypocritical for me to make the same mistake that I told my sisters to avoid. The other thing I'm very thankful for are my friends. I feel very fortunate to be surrounded by positive and successful people. Btw, I had a blast on my birthday! :) Still trying to collect all the pix to upload.

My birthday is today

November 28th.... the day after thanksgiving a.k.a Black Friday and for this year, it's also my birthday! I have 25 of my close friends meeting me at Crustacean restaurant for dinner. Afterward, we plan to drive over to Impala Lounge to hang out. :)

Pictures will be uploaded soon.

Sweet November

Yes! Yes! Sweet November, a special time for family, friends and... myyyy birthday. :) On the 28th, a day after thanksgiving, I'd be turning 28. What makes it a bit more special this year is that it falls on a Friday, which makes planning much easier. Don't you hate it when your birthday falls on a random day like Tuesday and you'd have to wait until Friday or Saturday to celebrate? Especially in 2006, when I waited until Saturday and it was one month over... December 2nd. Anyways, I plan to get my friends together for an intimate dinner at a nice restaurant and then hang out at a lounge somewhere downtown in S.F.

Busy week

It's one of those crazy weeks again, everything just go by so quick. I know I shouldn't be complaining but this just mean one thing... more work the following week. That's just how it is for us older folks I guess. You'd think that life would get much easier as you get older right?!? WRONG!

My side of town

I live between Cow Palace (known for its major tradeshows) & Monster Park (49ers home)... 5 minutes each way. It's the outer edge of San Francisco & a quick 5-minute commute to Downtown.

Mansell St... 6 blocks downhill and no stop signs.

And an accident waiting to happen. Drivers either loose control and hit a tree or plunge right into that bus stop at the end.San Bruno AveWithin a 10-block radius, we have 2 fire stations.I guess the only highlight is the completely renovated Silver Terrace Park.People from other parts of the city often come here to play baseball and soccer.Bell Market... I go here at least once or twice a weekIt has all your basic needs
The one thing I have to get is... Silk (soy milk). :)

That's all for now

Hmmm, career choice

I've always been very passionate about art, however, for such a broad interest, there can only be one direction. To declare a major in college, I decided that graphic design would be my career choice. Although, I graduated with a degree in graphic design, it was clear to me that I'd rather do design works for fashion. And right out of college, I was recruited to work for a clothing brand so I've considered myself an artist and a designer ever since. 4 years later, I'm still very happy with what I'm doing but sometimes I wonder... what else would I rather do? Do you think about that sometimes?

For me, being a social worker or a criminal investigator(along the line of law enforcement) have always been in the back of my head. Both seem to be quite rewarding. As a social worker, you help improve people's live and nothing is more rewarding than that. As for detective work, you get to save lives and solve mysteries. Only if I could tie all these together somehow. Hmmm

America wins

To commemorate this date, I got up early and purchased a copy of the newspaper. It's a bit of history that I'm extremely proud to hold onto. I don't care if 25% of the U.S population is anti-Obama. Just like most Americans, I'm fed up with our current situation and the way things have played out for the last 8 years. There needs to be a serious change and nobody is more qualified than this man. He represents change to me and I believe it will happen under his term.

A night out

I went out for my little sister's Bday last night. We had a nice dinner (group of 28) over at Circolo on Florida St and then made our way to Suede Nightclub by the pier.
