weekend in Monterey and San Fran

Friday: Palace BBQ Palace, Fantasia
Saturday: 17 mile drive, Monterey and Carmel by the sea
Sunday: Golden Gate Park, Twin Peaks, Sunset, Broadway Bistro in Millbrae
We wanted to go to Conservatory of Flowers but it closes at 4:30pm and we showed up at 4pm, so we went to Botanical Garden instead. We celebrated Yaya's birthday at Wonton on Irving and she was surprised that we bought a cake for her.

Milpitas

Yaya arrived today from Singapore. The plan is to have dinner in Milpitas tonight. She is here for the weekend. I have not seen her in a year or two.

las americas

I had Peruvian for dinner at Las Americas in San Mateo. We wanted to eat at Machu Picchu restaurant on South B St. but the place is closed on Mondays. The food was okay. I had lunch at tofu house. That place is always good.

10K Santa Cruz race

I ran the 10K Santa Cruz race this morning. My running time was 57 minutes, so about 9:57 minutes per mile. After the race, we ate Korean food at Jang Su Jang, a new restaurant in Santa Clara on El Camino Real. I liked the seafood pancake. I was expecting the flour batter for the pancake but it was more of green onion. We stayed overnight in Santa Cruz at Hampton Inn and ate at Gilda's at the wharf area. We wanted to eat at Riva but we didn't have enough cash.

Bombay Garden

I had a huge dinner buffet at Bombay Garden in Santa Clara on El Camino Real, close to Lawrence Expressway. I like that the chai is part of the buffet. I went shopping at Vallco or Cupertino Square mall. I just wanted to use up gift cards.

boston market

I had lunch at Boston Market for the chicken pot pie. I had dinner at Joya for the paella clasica, red sangria, seabass, mini burgers, cheese plate, seafood cake, and churros with hot chocolate. Next time, I will not order the cheese plate and seafood cake.

sore

I feel so sore from my badminton. I'm sore all over especially my arms and legs. I wanted to run today but I feel sore even just from walking.

stacks

I played badminton for nearly 2 hours at Burlingame. Afterwards, I ate at Stack's for lumberjack pancakes, blueberry waffles, and apple sausage fritta. I have been addicted to watching pucca on youtube. Pucca is so funny.

suite 181

I danced non stop at suite 181 last night for like 3.5 hours. I liked most of the songs, although the floor was kind of slippery since people kept dropping their drinks, and I accidently dropped my drink too. I signed up for the guest list so I would not have to pay cover charge but we showed up like 10 minutes late, so we had to pay $20 to get in. I ran only 5K yesterday around the Palo Alto baylands. I had lunch at the counter for the salmon burger. Yesterday was good friday so could not eat meat. I'm watching the pucca dvd from netflix and pucca is so funny.

Sneha

I had buffet dinner at Sneha for Indian food on Apollo Way in Sunnyvale. The food didn't taste as good as Bombay Garden, Amber India or New Saffron. Snehas has more dishes than the other places.

Kinaray-a

I found out that I first spoke Kinaray-a. English is the second language I spoke. Kinaray-a is a Visayan language, one of the dialects in the P.I. When I went to kindergarten, I started to speak English more. I want to learn more words in Kinaray-a.

daiso

I went to moonstar in daly city for early dinner buffet. Afterwards we stopped at ross and daiso japanese store. I really like daiso, most of the items are $1.50, so many cute items.

duplicity

I watched the movie duplicity with Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. I liked the movie. Afterwards, we ate at Mariuchi for Japanese noodle. I ran 5 miles on the treadmill at the 24 hour fitness in San Carlos. I had a hard time finding a place to park.

nizario's pizza

I went out twice this week for lunch at nizario's pizza and saffron rice for Indian food. My friend Tee recommended nizario's pizza, I had the California pizza slice.
