Trip To SJ

SW333 is leaving ONT on time, arriving at SJC on time. No surprise since the plane took a nap in ONT.

Once upon arrival, I was whisked to attend IPA cherry picking event in Pomeroy Ranch.

Sunol

We (Ida and I) spend this Saturday hiking at Sunol Regional Wilderness with Tony, Maria and Nani.

The trek is nice: lots of flat surfaces and low gradient climbs, surrounded by lush green hills and docile bovines.

Yet Another Black Friday

Last Friday, I missed Tustin train station, and this Friday, I missed flight 2452 to SJC - arrgh! Luckily the next flight isn't overbooked.

The bright side: I finished the script that slurp the goodies from easynews for Freeman.

Flying To San Jose

Thank god the flight is not delayed, make it to SJ only half an hour late.

Weekend In Simi Valley

I have to go and spend the weekend in Simi Valley after AWOL for 2 weeks.

Breakfast: hash, sausage, eggs and other non-photogenic leftovers.

As usual, dinner at Little Tokyo, and it was cold!!

And this is odd: several Target stores don't have thermal undies.

Hiking Again

Went hiking with Ida and the usual suspects again at Windy Hill.

The trail is located on open terrain with little coverings so the view could be easily enjoyed. I dropped in exhaustion twice since we were climbing steadily with little leveling.

Hiking in San Jose

Went hiking with Ida and friends at The Hostel Trail.

Murakami Exhibition @ MOMA

Lisa had to work in the morning, so we started late and missed the
shabu2 line. Instead, we went to the sushi house next door and
visited the Murakami exhibition @ MOCA.

Don't be fooled by the happy colors, the message could be grim. The picture above, for example, is titled: Ton Ton Ba Puking.

Little Tokyo

We started our weekly pilgrimage to Little Tokyo again this morning with a little hitch: the traffic to City Hall is choked by city employees. Dunno why, but it caused major heart burns and Lisa provided detour using 3rd st. It is nice to have a living GPS system.

We went through a tunnel underneath an apartment complex using the 3rd. Interesting: I might have to come back and take some pictures.

Total wait time for shabu2 is .... approx 1.5 hour.

Getting File Cabinet From Ikea

Thinking about getting Galant, but bought Erik instead.
