On my 28th!

Nothing fancy, as usual, as with my past birthdays... This is the very first birthday spent with Honey though. I knew I didn't want to host a party, inviting people over at the house is pretty awkward, especially so because I am not really sure if I like them to share my day, so I kept close people, my Honey and Mother-in-law only, (the brother in-law and the girlfriend had to work) and spent the whole day in San Francisco...

Originally, I still have to explore the rest of San Francisco, and I thought we would finish everything yesterday, but not quite, there are still a few remaining activities to look forward to and places to go...

So we went at a Korean Resto for lunch, spent a few hours and not quite a few bucks at the Zoo in the hope of seeing a silver back gorilla, but it was not there... visited the Palace of Fine Arts, The World's Most Crooked Road, The Ghirardelli Square, and lastly, Coit Tower. Overall, it was worth it, especially so with the photos that we took.

So as you all know, I advanced my birthday gift already, my Nikon D700 (a split between me and Honey), and may I say that I really really do love it! I would really cherish every shot that we take and I can't wait to make a photo album story! It is the best DSLR yet, really really AMAZING.

Now I am 28, two more years before I say goodbye to the 2-series. I would love to get serious with the plan of having a baby soon, right after the fancy US tours and cruises, and some Europe adventures!

My month would soon be over, and I am looking forward to my 29th!

Green Card Arrived in the Mail!


At last! After 48 years I am legit! Though the journey was bumpy and the wait was painfully over delayed, the feel of the actual green card is worth it! In times when USCIS delayed my papers, the office of Congressman Lofgren never failed me.

It's funny how they call this a green card, I am lazy to dig in the history as of the moment, but literally though, its barely green, it is a lifeless washed green!

I am just happy that they got my name correct now. At least I am confident to move around here already, got my California Driver License and my Green Card already and both are in my married name! AWESOME!!!
