joy and shepherd in sf, wtf!?!
A couple friends from out of town where in San Francisco this weekend, Alec and Hyejin my long lost microsoftie friends where in town and Kaori my San Francisco homie that moved to Tokyo is in town. We had sichuan lunch at clement street, hung out at Haight Ashbury and then Spicy indian food at Shalimar! It was probably not the best recipe for my stomach >___<
In parallel, this weekend has been a really low point for me, I've always been an optimistic person but this weekend I really felt like my heart is broken. I think I found someone amazing but I'm stuck in a catch 22 situation, we have an amazing connection but the path I took to lead to that connection is in question. The past outweighs the present, and it looks like I wont be given a chance to prove myself in the future. It really hurts but despite that I will wait it out cause I believe in us.

warm summer night = outdoor beers :)
As many of you have heard, my favorite weather pattern is a warm summer night. Sydney has these,New York City has these. Unfortunately the city of my current residence San Francisco does not. The summer here could be compared to Sydney in the winter time =/
For the last 2 days however we had gorgeous warm summer nights! Last night hung out with JLVL, Sandra and Chicago larz to pretend I was in NYC in the summer time :) We went to Cup-A-Joe on Sutter and Leavenworth, this cafe doesnt have an outdoor liquor license so they serve beer in coffee cups ahaha, was gorgeous sitting outside in the evening heat drinking a cold beer. Afterwards we went to Shalimar for some ghetto pakistani food. Then to top it off, Sandra pulls out a home made apple crumble dessert she made!
The only other thing I wanted to do was goto the park and ride the swing but I'll leave that for next time. Summer time bliss! I hope it lasts thru all of September ^___^

city of angels, revisited
Lately I've been visiting Los Angeles more often than I'd ever thought I would. As it happens I met a special someone there ^___^. This weekend was a chance to spend some quality time before she goes on a special mission to China for a month. What resulted was 48hrs in the LA summer time heat, it was gorgeous! (San Francisco summer has been quite cold)
Among the highlights included hitting up Universal Studios, fulfilling a childhood dream and standing in 1hr lines indulging in conversation and embraces in the 100F heat :) I also got to try the best aloe drink I've ever had in my life *_____*

jie in town!
Seattle buddies and unlimited mimosa brunch over the weekend in the Marina district = recipe for fun. San Francisco represented as well with perfect blue skies that day.
I haven't seen these guys in a while, well at least Joy I randomly saw in Vancouver 2 weeks ago but Shepherd I had not seen in over 2 years! It was great to catch up and listen to iphone4 complaints while downing several glasses of orange juice infused with champagne. I also got to catch up with my homegirl shoko (thanks for the flix!!!!)

good times, bad times
I've never written about sad times in my life on this blog so this is a first. I really hurt someone and in the process I think I lost them. It's a lesson learned for me but I just hope I can be a better person and that we can get through it together.
There's only one person in the world that can understand the meaning behind this >__<

Nice dilemma
Taking the time to write this while trying to get over jet lag.
As fate would have it I had to remain in Sydney for 4 more days due to technical difficulties. That meant being able to be there for mums birthday, joe's birthday and catch up with more friends ^__^
To top it off got to see Brown Sugar @ Marble Bar on Friday night just before flying out and kick it with Joe, Vic, James, Hien, Thao, Cynthia, Grace, Joni, Xienna, Jason, Mira, Adrian, Haruko, Keiji and Jason. Good times guys >___<
The dilemma with calling two places home is no matter where you go, you'll always be missing something, fortunately this is a nice dilemma to have :)
