......

I walked home today. Recent developments in my life got me thinking about some things, and I think I've finally figured things out. I live in a fantasy world. Where love conquers all, where people stick to their word, where if there's a will there's a way, where the perfect guy exists, where if you truly love someone, no problem will be too big, no distance too far, where if you're meant to be with someone, you can never fall in love or be truly happy with anyone else but that person, where when you're genuinely in love, you can never imagine yourself with any other person but that certain person, and it will be that way for the rest of your life.

Maybe I'm idealistic, romantic, or maybe I'm just plain stupid.

I don't know, but a part of me really doesn't care, because I'd rather live in a so-called fantasy world where anything is possible if you're willing to take the risk, than live the rest of my life wondering what could have been.

Malay mo.

I'm sorry, I have this tendency to make sense only to myself. :)

I was supposed to go shopping in Gilroy today, but because my tito made plans, I wasn't able to go. So instead, I met up with an old friend of mine in the city, who's in town for a few days. So far, I'm really loving it here. Everyone is just so friendly and nice, it's weird. And it's fun to meet fellow pinoys, and to speak in filipino when everyone else can't understand what you're saying.

So anyway, like every other day when I go out, I took the bus to Linda Mar and waited for the bus to the BART. The bus driver was pinoy, and so was one of the passengers. There was a 35 minute wait for the next bus, so there I was, walking to the shed, when the driver starts talking to me about life here in san francisco. I have a new friend. :) haha! Apparently he saw me before when I rode the bus, and thought I grew up here, but after hearing me speak in filipino, he started asking me stuff about my stay here. After a while the other passenger joined in and soon enough, we were chatting and laughing and talking in filipino as if we'd known each other for a long time. An unlikely situation in manila.

Half an hour later, I was in macy's in union square waiting for earl. Window shopping, because with the prices there, even if some items were on sale, it was still veeery expensive. One blouse even cost 200 dollars. 10,000 pesos!!! Or more!! Imagine that. Crazy. The only way I'd buy a blouse worth that is if the buttons were gold. White gold. Anyway. So earl came and we went around union square, window shopped in niketown, chinatown, wala, we just walked around checking out the places. And then we rode the cable car! For the first time! It was fun, from union square, we got to fisherman's wharf where we had lunch in pier 47, baby back ribs yummy.. I finished all my food but only because it was really half of a full meal. And then we saw the sea lions!!! Yun ba yun? Or seals? Basta. The big fat lazy creatures with whiskers who just sunbathe the whole day. They were sooooo cute! And lazy! And this cute american kid was trying to scare me with shark stories, it was pretty funny. Haha! Fun day today. Today also marks my 3rd week anniversary, I've been here for 3 weeks now. It doesn't seem so long, but I feel like I've done so much already, which is good. At least diba.

I start dance classes a week from now woohoo! I was able to get this work exchange deal with this dance studio, and in exchange for being a sort of production assistant for one of their shows, they'll give me free classes! For a limited time only of course, but still it's going to be fun. I wanna take capoeira, latin and hiphop. Yay I can't wait!

And did I say that people are really reeaaaaaaally friendly here? Hmmm... hahaha! ;p really friendly... in a good way of course. :D
