August the 8th, about a month ago; we went to San Francisco city for a day out. We realized it been awhile we stepped the city and thought it will be great to hang out and since Chris is back. It was a nice day and Calvin drove instead of Bart train. Guess, Calvin realized he has not really spent time with me and always put his work first. And that’s how the idea of going to San Francisco.
As we were walking from store to store, I realized I need a dress for a wedding that I soon need to attend. What next? Of course it’s going to be dress hunting. It was head ache hunting. I can’t find a perfect dress from Guess to BCBG to Bebe and almost giving up. So, we all decided to watch movie at the mall which Calvin suggested and I wanted to check on Juice Couture before heading up since it’s on a way. As I flip and flip and decided to go….. I SPOTTED a BLACK DRESS! PREFECT for a wonderful dinner! BUT wait! Needed to check on the size first since I’m petite. He he he……….. I got my size and the cutting fit me just right. Juicy Couture it is!
I can’t remember what we watch. Gosh…. I’m getting old these days.
After movie, we rushed to our favorite Thai restaurant in town. We never miss it every time we in the city and of course we will always introduce our friends the good food. Trust me! This restaurant was way too good and you can’t find any restaurant that can beat them YET. Once you try these restaurant you will always wanted to come back and you will start comparing to the other restaurants.
Calvin and I went to Chinatown last Saturday. I needed to get souvenirs for families and friends. First stop was pier 39 and we were there just a short stop about 30 minutes. We didn’t even walk around the area which it was too cold for me coz I’m just wearing a thin sweater which don’t keep me warm.
Then we headed to Chinatown to get Ginseng for my family. Well, every Chinese family will love this and it’s good for health. Even we have a box of it at home. Chinese is about herbs and making soups. Sometimes, I don’t understand how Ginseng can be so expensive? It just for drinking!
I’m no good in choosing it but thank God for Calvin. He knows more than me in choosing it. I learned it from his mother I believe. His mom love to gets Chinese herbs and I know I’ll learn more from his mother in the future. Right now, I’m just so glad I have Calvin to take care of it. He actually taught me how to look for a good one. Very interesting! I learned something new about Ginseng. He got 2 pound for my family. Kinda feel bad in a way coz it’s pricey. But I’m happy in the same time coz he really shows how much he care about me.
Well, after you choose which one we like. We packed it ourselves coz the owner was busy. When we were done, we asked him to cut it for us since he have the machine. I’m kinda stupid in a way coz I never sees it before and I was anxious. They separate it into few batches to microwave it for about a minute to make it soften. Then put it into a machine for cutting.
Up-coming photos are retarded. We were on the way back to our parking spot and I kept on checking out stores to see what’s new since I don’t always goes there. And Calvin kept on asking me to do stupid things to entertain him. Somehow, I’m actually doing it for him. I’m so pathetic. I can’t believe he manage to gets me doing it.
Damn! I look ugly in it.
Yesterday, Calvin, Henry and I went to San Francisco to visit the museum. I know most of you must be wondering why Tuesday when it supposed to be a working day. For me, everyday it’s a holiday till I find a job. 2nd is that, Calvin and Henry is working purposes and I’m just tagging along as usual. I’m the helper when they needed me.
Let’s talk about the visit in the museum. It was interesting in some of the arts. I can’t really take photos of the arts but I took some to share with you guys. One of the security guard caught me in act. What interest me the most is the “Picturing Modernity: The Photography Collection.” As you guys know, I into photography but still in a practice level. Calvin still can’t find a time to teach me to the next level. BUT, I learned a lot yesterday in the photography section. I see things I never sees before. Especially black and white photos. I’m so into Black and White. Most photos that I edit usually Black and White. Not so into color coz I think B&W is more unique in different way. It’s hard to get the perfect lighting and moment of it. I been explore a lot to have a perfect B&W. Still learning and hopefully master it in one day.
It’s really motivating me more into photography world after seeing the art of it. Totally going to invest more on it. Maybe it’s a good thing to have something I love to do besides shopping, don’t you think? Calvin is a professional Photographer and since I’m with him and he totally busy. Really get into it even more just to spent a little time with him by having the same hobbies. He bought me into golfing too and trust me, my swing need a lot of work. And I remember he bought me to play the 9 holes. It was torturing but fun. It’s really a good sport.
Oppps…. Back to the museum. I’m totally out of the track. I’m not an art person. A lot of time, I really have to work hard to understand the meaning for the piece of art. I love exploring new things and it helps me to see the different side of everyone’s world. Anyways, I’m going to stop here and enjoy the photos that I manage to shot. Please don’t mind my blurry and uncool photos. I can only bring my normal digital camera. It’s really sux in quality.

The Ghirardelli Chocolate Company is a United States division of Swiss candy-maker Lindt & Sprungli. The company was founded by and is named after Italian chocolatier Domingo Ghirardelli, who after working in South America, moved to California. The Ghirardelli Chocolate Company was incorporated in 1852, and is the second oldest chocolate company in the United States. This chocolate only can be found in San Francisco.
We walked all the way from fisherman’s wharf to this place. Pretty tiring walking up there but I get to see a lot of small store which I never notice before. It’s really fun walking in a group of people. As usual, Ghirardelli was packed with people and line was never short. But it’s worth the wait to have the taste of the fresh chocolate. I love the Hot Chocolate and I never miss it whenever I’m there. What made it so special about the Hot Chocolate is that, it’s never too sweet for me. Just right! And please don’t miss the ice cream too. It’s really really Yummy!

Later that night, we have a mini celebration for the lady boss since is her birthday. Nothing big but just a little something to get together for a chit chat. Bought her a cake and it tasted really GOOD. You can taste the fresh fruit of it. Not sweet at all…… Sorry guys, I’m not a sweet person.
Pier 39 is a shopping center and popular tourist attraction built on a pier in San Francisco, California. At Pier 39, there are shops, restaurants, a video arcade, street performances, an interpretive center for the Marine Mammal Center, the Aquarium of the Bay, virtual 3D rides, and views of California sea lions hauled out on docks on Pier 39’s marina. The marina is also home to the floating Forbes Island restaurant.
Pier 39 also located close to the Fisherman’s Wharf. About 5 to 10 minutes walk. Fisherman’s Wharf is popular with the seafood. You can get fresh clam chowder and crabs if you don’t might have it with the big crowds. I usually sat by the street while having my good tasty chowder while the sea gills tried to steal my bread. It’s really a good experience I ever had at the pier. Been here a lot of times and still loving it as long as I get good food. What can you says about me, I’m all about the food. One thing about me having a lot of food won’t gain me any weight. I’m still working hard of gaining some weight. Buzz me if you know the tips of gaining weight.
Well, from the pier you can actually see the Alcatraz. Maybe sure you stop at this spot when you come to San Francisco.
