So at the end of May, I took a cruise to Mexico with my parents. That week-long cruise was much needed. It was relaxing, and I was able to spend some quality time with my parents. I caught up on some readings as well (thanks to the lack of distracting wifi/phone service). The cruise took us down and past Baja California, stopping at Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta.

I drove from San Francisco to Portland for vacation with friends in the month of March. We stayed in Portlandia for about five days. That city definitely screams hipster all around. If you are into the java culture or microbrewery scene, then Portlandia is definitely a place you must visit!

Hello guys! Sorry for not posting for so long. I just started school a month so it has been hectic for me. But hopefully now that things have settled I'll be able to post more often. *shameless plug* Oh by the way, do you feel restless and want to travel? You can plan a trip and get it funded by your fambam, friends and sponsors! Check it out at this link here: http://signup.trevolta.com/invite/KJ2UN65306.

I attended restaurant week in San Diego during the month of September. For those of you who have not heard about restaurant week, it is simply a week where restaurants provide a set course meal for a certain price. Check it out at www.sandiegorestaurantweek.com/‎


My friends and I went to Bertrand at Mister A's, located in the heart of San Diego. We had a reservation at 7:30PM on Monday, but we arrived 30 minutes earlier than expected. However, they seated us pretty quickly. We got a table at the corner, near the windows so that we can see the night lights of San Diego. It was gorgeous watching the light blue sky fade into the dark night.

Happy Labor Day everyone! I went to Little Italy last Saturday, a neighborhood in San Diego, to attend one of the larger farmer's markets in the city. My friends and I arrived around 10AM and it was already crowded with people of all ages. There was live music and people bustling throughout the street.  The white tents spanned across 4-5 blocks, selling various produce, food and art. By the time I arrived, the sun was already warming up the atmosphere, and soon enough my neck was blazing hot. There were many different vendors selling food from different cuisines such as Thai and Mexican. Samples were given to us all around, and we definitely did not hesitate to pop these goodies into our mouths.

 So lately, in San Diego, the weather has been unbelievably sweltering hot. My Yahoo! weather app showed that thunder storms were going to occur in the 90 degree weather. Thank goodness it did not, or else it would have contributed more to the humidity in the air. San Diego is known for its unchanging seasons. The weather is pretty much stable, no drastic changes to distinct each season as spring, summer, fall or winter. They all just blend together. This summer, SD was around 80 degrees which is quite bearable. But this past week got hotter and hotter. It was simply warm air floating around the environment. My apartment traps heat like no other. -.- Therefore, I thought I would show you guys how I like to cool off in the scorching August season. I know in some places around the world, August is winter time. But here in the northern hemisphere, August marks the end of summer or the arrival of autumn. But before fall arrives, a blast of heat always attacks before leaving us to the cooler months of the year.
Anywho, let's get started.
