it's cold tonight
Saturday, August 28, 2010
It's cold and windy tonight, but the ranger still allowed us to have a
camp fire until 10pm. Temperature is supposed to drop down to the
mid-40's.

julia day: mag-isa
Sunday, August 22, 2010My little niece Julia thinks she is a big girl now. Getting in the car one day, my mom tried to hold her hand to help her up.
Julia: Mama, 'wag mo na ako hahawakan, kaya ko na sumakay mag-dalawa!

Sorry, non-Pinoy speakers, this one loses everyhing in translation so I won't even attempt.

bing crosby's
Friday, August 20, 2010
I haven't gone to happy hour in heaven knows how long, so when Tora, my co-worker who is leaving the company and whose last day was today, invited a bunch of us for happy hour at Bing Crosby's, I said what the heck. It was a good enough reason to go.
I had the Road to Morocco (pita and hummus), Trio of Ahi Tuna (nori-seared, spicy tartare and marinated with watermelon) and a pint of pale ale (can't remember the name), and I was set for the rest of the evening. The girls had martini -- all were too sweet for me (the drinks, not the girls).
I was hoping for a little swing jazz a la Rat Pack, but alas tonight's band was more on the pop-jazz kind. The baby grand stayed silent.
A fun evening overall; a pleasant farewell to a cool gal.

julia day: bentilador
We have plenty of hot days back home, and the most practical way of cooling is by electric fans, or bentilador (adopted from the Spanish word ventilador). One particularly hot day, my little niece Julia asked my dad to turn on the fan.
Julia: Papa, buksan mo elec... (mumble)... benti... (thinking)... buksan mo electador. Ang init!
Julia: Papa, turn on the elec... (mumble)... benta... (thinking)... turn on the electador. It's hot!

bike trail to dog beach
Saturday, August 14, 2010
Michael and I checked out the west end of the San Diego River bike trail from Morena Boulevard to Dog Beach in Ocean Beach. Not bad at all. A couple of transient "campsites" along the way. Great view of the mountains.
