"MLK weekend" music: Ne-Yo - So Sick
mood: bittersweet

so i didnt visit my debaters in Logan HS at their MLK tournament.

saturday was rainy, so evan and i went to see the latter half of the kyoto painting exhibit at the asian art museum. it wasnt as good as the first half, but i must say that i am quite fond of Maruyama Okyo's landscapes. afterwards, we had some yummy pizza at california pizza kitchen since we were in civic center anyway. the sky began to clear up, so we went to the marina to just relax and admire the beautiful view of the bay towards the golden gate bridge. it was such a beautiful afternoon.






on sunday, wolf, brian, evan and i went to lisa's family's famous restaurant, lichee garden to ying-ca (yumcha). lisa kindly seated us quickly, so we didnt have to endure the half hour wait, haha. (thanks girl! you're the best! ;D) after that yummy lunch, we went to guitar center so evan could finally get his fender. then we went over to berkeley so that i could meet up with darren and jenny, and the guys would meet up with their friend, vince. unfortunately, vince cancelled on the guys, so they ended up wandering around telegraph while darren, darren's friend, jenny, and i walked around after getting some delicious frozen yogurt from yogurt park. it was a nice little visit, just to catch up with my bowdoin buddies before heading back to campus. (darren, i still can't believe that you're ready to leave beautiful california!) it was hella awesome to see my college buddies outside of campus, outside of cold, cold maine. later that night, i met up with the guys again at brian's house, and watched some episodes of firefly. they're all addicted now because of brian, haha. but i must admit, serenity was a fantastic movie! very good sci-fi.

today, evan and i just had a chill day. it was a day of hilarity because of the random signs we noticed:



in the parking lot of In-N-Out/Krispy Kreme in DC (daly city)



behind the counter at Pollyann ice cream parlor.

omg, i was so happy to get my scoop of pollyann green tea ice cream! i wish it wasn't a strictly sf-based company. they make FANTASTIC asian flavors, like lychee, mango, taro, sesame...drool. and cant forget the cocopineapple! XD gawd i miss good ice cream. anyhow, after that, went back to evan's house and just chillaxed there before dinner. took evan to bursa kebab for dinner for some delicious mediterranean food! and then went to that asian cafe on noriega with the cow sign for some mango sago. oh gawd i'm not ready to go back to school! i'm not ready to give up AMAZING food, sweets, and did i mention....SAGO?!?!

bittersweet because i'm not ready to go back to school, but i'm ready for the new semester.

so happy that my weekend, once again, rocked my socks ;D thanks evan
