Small Taste of SF

I went to San Francisco at the end of March using the round-trip ticket I won from Virgin America Airlines during the Virgin Provocateur contest. (Thanks VA!)

I went with one friend and was joined by another. Here are some of the things we did: tour of the google headquarters, visited the Golden Gate Bridge, walked into changing transvestites in our not very secure hotel room (Travelodge Golden Gate),Twin Peaks, went house shopping, Alkatraz, Aquarium of the Bay, Pier 39, Clubbing at Holy Cow, Exploritorium, Palace of Fine Arts, EAT EAT EAT, Crown and Crumpet, Ghirardelli Square, Coit Tower, Chestnut and Steiner, Financial District, Westfield mall, Full house house, Alamo Square, Adjustment Bureau, Raw oysters...


...but the best part was that I went with friends and met a lot of new and amazing friends as the trip would not have been the same without them. San Francisco is such a beautiful place and I can see myself moving there in the future. The weather and geography reminds me of Vancity, another city that I hope to visit again.

Trust Your Instincts

When times are hard and confusing, the only thing to do is look forward. Live through instinct and trust your snap judgements.

Happiness

We live and we learn. I always ask myself, 30 years from now, will I regret what I am doing, or what I have not done?

WIth every important decision, I ask myself this question, and I find that once I find the answer -a simple yes or no- everything becomes clear.

Living life means to hurt and be hurt, but it also means to search for happiness. Sometimes, situations are out of our control, but that's okay, because tomorrow will always be a brighter and better day, and if not, the day after that will most certainly be.

Shopping in Thailand

Recently came back from a one month trip to Hong Kong. It was shopping heaven. I took a hiatus from shopping in Hong Kong, only to travel to Thailand and do more shopping, amongst other things for example underwater walking, going to DreamLand Theme Park and eating my heart out!



I miss Hong Kong.
