Its the re-opening of a new school season!
Im so thrilled. Especially the part where I have to pursue an online course.
In fact, Iv already started on the online thang on Art History this morning and it was AWESOME!
I couldn't believe that technology has taken our breadths away.
How fun.

ANWS. Had most of the plans ruined today,
We're supposed to go to DMV to register for driving license,
but it started pouring once we got outside.
The weather forecast in my dashboard's telling the truth.
Oh bummer.
It took the rain 3 hours to get the sun shining again.
It was then 4pm.
We decided to get to Maywah for groceries instead.
But when we were on board the bus,
we felt somehow unsure whether the store was still open.
So, we decided to board down and had dinner @ Rika's Sushi instead.
Too bad we got lost at Bush (cos we kinda went that way which we supposed to go this way).
Guess where we ended up at? Borobudur. an always happy restaurant! yay!
Guess what caused all these mess?
THE STUPID RAIN!

Hey Bloggie, Guess WHAT!

I drove my first time in San Francisco this afternoon.
Well, actually in Treasure Island across SF.
It turned out to be a boring "after-brunch"
So, we kinda checked out the rented car, a JEEP Grand Cherokkee.
It was a matic of course but who cares.
Even Yana, and her Sister, Yanti took a drive too.
It was fun. We drove around Treasure Island and I was a little surprised to find out about
the neighborhood there.

So anyway, we have checked out from Super 8 Motel this morning
and stayed over in Suka's place for another 2 nights.
We're supposed to move in tomorrow into our new apartment actually,
but because of our chinese belief that Tuesday is a bad day to move in to a new home,
so, Wednesday it is then.
Oh yea, I almost forgot to share with you a brief description of our new apartment.
So apparently, we decided to sign a contract with Rincon Towers.
I shall say that Rincon Towers has got the fabulous view of Embarcadero and Bay Bridge.
So, It's close to the sea. and the SF Harborfront center too.
Although it's 4 blocks away from the Academy, it's worth walking.(no uphills for sure)
We're living the life in the Financial District!
It's finally peace in me; no Fire Trucks, no Gembels, low Pigeons.
so we're good- at least for now.
and for the record,
Yana and Yanti got a one bedroom in the East Tower
and we got a studio in the West Tower.
NEAT HUH!

YAHOO! Im finally in the best-climate country in the world.
Im at the apple store again, blogging
It's just like the song- "Back at One"
We're now doing apartment hunting again, just like the old days.
But this time we get to rent a car-so it's faster.
There's this apartment, Aurora down by Harrison and Fourth.
It's a pretty one bedroom with huge bathroom and a spacious kitchen.
Then there's St Francis place, just behind Yerba Buena.
This is an amazing place-it's got swimming pool and jacuzzi, fitness center and all other
goodmood sh*ts. but it's hella expensive, unless u wanna share a 2-storey townhouse.
There's also Bayside village by South Beach. This is breathtaking.
Aside from the close view of Bay Bridge, it's got 3 heated pool.
But forget about it, it's pricey too.
Then there's a few lofts...
I really love em, really want em.
But really rare.

damn, we're so having a hard time.

time to go home now...

bye.
