morning

it's past 10am tuesday morning, and compared to the past few days i wake up early today. woke up to a lovely message on my cell, i feel it's gonna be a wonderful day :) i could have continue sleeping for another hour or two, but waking up earlier to spend some time for myself is what i need. this next 30 minutes belong to me only.

having some instant coffee right now, it doesn't taste as good as what i remember... after graduation i feel i am in the transition of a lot of things, and one of them is to have better taste in food... finding myself seeking the move away from instant college stuff to eating better food. it's a good thing.

it’s been 4 days since we came back up from palo alto, and i’ve been hanging out with stella and chia everywhere. so thankful that chia is with us, i’m a total nuthead in planning things out... realize i have that attitude of taking things as they come, taking one day at a time... it must be a side effect from stressing my guts out in everything back home a few years ago. guess i just want to enjoy each day as it is. but alright, i'll work on my planning skills.

so let's see... what have we been doing these past few days?
Saturday – 7/3 - sunny
Headed out to napa valley on Saturday morning, while driving out onto 19th the fog was rolling in like a blanket thrown over the city. or maybe like a water bed that started to leak when the sky drizzled alittle too. i am not so much of a fog lover but then i was glad to see it - an excuse i find to make myself feel better about not playing basketball that morning. the sun was shining brightly at napa though. hate to admit it but I am such a risky driver, nasty at taking turns, inducing car-sickness to stella on the way to Sonoma… lol. She would have yelled at me but I guess she was too sick to do so. It was really fun to be with 2 people who are happy and who made me happy. Happiness is so complex yet so simple.

Sunday – 7/4 - foggy
back at church once again after 2 weeks and wasn’t I glad to be back… I felt at home. It’s july 4th, in the evening we went to jane's place for a BBQ. it was fun, meeting and talking to new people, i love conversations. so what's the big deal about alcohol? i think it brings out something in a person that he or she wants to express but can't really do so without it at times. i think there are many other ways to express oneself's thoughts and emotions, and for me when i need to alcohol comes later in my list. but it does provide a quick way to feel relax. it was a fun party that night, all the people there were having a great time, stella was definitely having a great time ;)

Monday - 7/5 - yesterday
slept till 12 noon. what a pig. but i was tired. went to Muir Woods later in the afternoon and did a 5 mile hike out to the ocean... a gorgeous view. felt like standing at the top of the world looking down at the works of God. the thick layer of fog covered the view of the ocean, enhancing the musical sound of the waves. the trees standing amongst the rolling fog stood really tall, as though they wanna catch a glimpse of the clear sky above. breathtaking. and a good burito to end the evening ;)

stel's still sleeping, i guess we'll have a later start of the day once again. love it!
