Visitors!!!!
But first, a few other exciting things that happened last week. First, I got a haircut on Wednesday! And second, I got a new phone on Thursday. I ended up with the Galaxy S II even though I had a tough time between that and the HTC Amaze. The galaxy definitely is a better looking phone but I wish it had a better battery life, or the ability to disable 4G.
Thursday night we went to The Last Supperclub where we met up with Andy, Brian, Chad, David, Priscilla, and Kevin. We drank and danced the night away, I was so excited to see them again! The club was dead, but that almost made it better - private dance party!! Everyone seemed to hit it off really well, and all of us who thought we would be leaving early that night failed.
The next day, I took the day off and Matt and Victor didn't make it to work. We slept in to recover and Victor and I left in the afternoon to try and surprise our guests! Thanks to the Groupme chat, I knew they were downtown somewhere so we drove around Hotel Five where they were staying ot try and catch them. No dice! I ended up just calling Chad and asking where he was. He and David had separated from the group so we were able to surprise the others at Pike Place Chowder.
Yummmm, chowdahhh. The seafood chowder was delicious. We walked around Pike Place after eating to check out the different flowers, foods, meats, and more. Four of the guys decided to go scootering so Victor and I took Priscilla and Andy with us back to the house to hang out. We watched parts of movies and some Kevin Hart, but Andy and P mostly napped. Later we left to meet Charles and Matt for kbbq in Lynnwood. Then after dinner, we headed back to my place to regroup.
More of the guys came over before we left again to go to Hotel Five then Trinity. The SF people really seemed to like Trinity but the Seattle guys wanted to go to PNK. I thought Trinity looked fun but I didn't really care where we went. We migrated to PNK and WOW it's a really nice venue. Super high ceilings and tall windows, photobooth outside against the high rises, awesome music! I really really like that place, so glad we ended up there. Everyone was having a great time dancing and before we knew it, it was last call. We went to Honey Court in chinatown for post-club nourishment and everyone gobbled up the panfried noodles before I got any! I was sad. Other than that though, it was a fun night.
On Saturday it was hard to get out of bed. Charles and Nick had slept over so we all went to get Pho down the street - well, except Charles who couldn't get out of bed. I think everyone was still drunk, most of the meal was loud giggling. And everyone looked like crap. After our breakfast we went back home and Matt and I went back to sleep. I got up an hour later to head out and meet up the SF'ers. We stopped by the Space Needle to take pictures and Alex and Lina went up. Everyone else either dropped off their scooters or went to Pioneer Square. We ate at Jimmy John's then did the Underground Tour. I am never doing the Underground Tour again.
For dinner we ate at Elliot's, YUM! And afterwards they went back to their hotel and I went home to drop off my car. I headed to The Garage for Eric and Lorraine's birthday celebration. The SF people came too! It was pretty fun but I was absolutely exhausted. Victor didn't feel well so we left earlier than the other folks and took Priscilla to get Javier's. We finally said our goodbyes and got home around 2, Matt and Charles arrived shortly after.
The weekend was SO EXHAUSTING, but I'm glad everyone came to visit. I hope they come back, in smaller groups for sure. I was most excited to see my Al Pals, I really miss them so. Halloween in SF will be excellent!
Step to the beat of my heart - a California whirlwind ripping through the Pacific Northwest.

Taco Tuesday & Tailgating
Over the past few weeks, we've really started to get to know our neighborhood. The teriyaki place nearby is pretty good, Ezell's chicken is... not very good, and the sushi place is REALLY GREAT! On Friday after playing a few tiring games of Hole in the Wall (best game ever btw) we found Toyoda on Yelp and ventured over, definitely a fantastic find.
But Tuesdays, Tuesdays will be taco nights. Yesterday when I came home during lunch, Matt asked me if I wanted anything from Target. And I don't know what made me think of tacos (maybe it was the T in Target), but I suggested that we make tacos for dinner. BEST IDEA EVER. It should be tradition - I love love love tacos. They're like nachos but don't get soggy as fast. And I EXTRA LOVE nachos! <33333
This past weekend, I went to my first Seahawks game and we tailgated from 9am. It was actually supposed to be 8am but our car didn't get there until 8:30 or something. I usually don't like picnics because they're boring, so I didn't think I'd like tailgating. But I actually had fun! The chili was amazing and the cornbread and steak were really good. I wanted to take a nap in the car but I didn't want to be rude, I usually don't get up until 11:00 or later on Sundays! The game was a hoot, I don't even remember watching the teams. I think we spent most of the time drinking and wandering the stadium. The day went by REALLY quickly and after dinner at Genki I think everyone went home to sleep. Some people came to Victors to drink more, but everyone was exhausted. Good times, and a great experience.

Labor Day in the Bay
Last weekend was my first visit back home to the Bay!
Friday morning and afternoon I mostly spent packing. I flew in at 5:00p and Julian picked me up from the airport. He drove me back to SF to drop off my luggage and pick up our concert tickets, and then we headed south to HP! We got to the Taylor Swift concert pretty early, seeing as how we didn't care for the opening acts. We ended up catching one and it was meh. Then Taylor came out and it was magical, enchanting, and enthralling - everything I knew it would be. Watching Taylor perform gives me chills, and I can't decide which tour I liked better - this year's and last year's both had amazing moments.
As expected, Taylor came to the small rotating stage on the other side of the arena about halfway through the concert. I didn't even realize it until we got there, but Julian and I were sitting in the section directly behind! It was pretty awesome, to be so close to Taylor! I had a great time, and it was extra exciting for Julian because it was his first concert. What a great first concert to experience!
Saturday I went to ID at Shoreline with Brian and Loan. We met up with Andy, Gary, Joanna, Kyle, and some new friends! In the beginning I wasn't very excited but as I started getting into the music I found myself having a fantastic time. The weather was gorgeous and the frozen margaritas were too tempting. About five hours in I started to feel sick, probably from dehydration and inebriation all at once. I guzzled Rockstar Hydration because it was free all day at the booths, and then I ate a kbbq burrito. I felt better in about a half hour, THANK GOODNESS! I spent the next four hours completely sober and happy as a clam! We met up with Chad, Ryan, Tiana, Steph, and I forget who else. The Aoki and Kaskade sets were absolutely overwhelming. Loved the energy and the song selections. Most fun sober ever, and that means more fun than Tiesto in Vegas! I found myself dancing my ass off, not even caring who was around me, with the biggest smile on my face.
On Sunday I went to the Reno rib cook off with Brian and Loan. We met Kevin, Bui, and Alex there. It was hot as hell! The ribs were delicious. I especially loved the beef rib from Porky and Beans. THOSE WERE MY FAVE! We got Willingham's again, which was my top 3 pick from last year's ribs. I didn't get any Bone Daddy this year, but I remember that being my abso fave last year! This year we went into the Marlboro Experience and took pictures in the free photo booth, got free t-shirts, and bought $1 packs of cigs. I brought mine back to Seattle and gave them to Matt, such a nice roommate I am, LOL. We also played Bingo in Reno, and I couldn't have ever been prepared for how fucking intense it is. Like seriously, my brain was hurting only three rounds in!!!! Reno took up most of the day, I was exhausted by the time I got home.
Monday was family day. Woke up and had breakfast with my mom and brother, and Wendy and her family joined us. Rey cooked a wonderful Filipino breakfast that was UBER SALTY but soo tasty! After breakfast we talked a bunch and I went to check out my bro's new apartment. The roof was amazing. Very Vegassy, I loved it! Actually, I loved it so much, that when I finished packing my luggage and had an hour to hang out with Andy, we decided to go to my brother's place and hang out up on the roof. We picked up sweets and milk along the way so we could havea tea party! Super relaxing, and it was pretty cool hanging out with my bro and Andy at the same time.
Overall the weekend was a great handful of events, and I was glad to see everyone again. I still don't miss SF yet, but I'm sure I will in the next few months when my life starts slowing down with the colder weather. October should be fun because everyone's coming to visit me in Seattle!! SO MANY ACTIVITIES!!! For now, I'm enjoying the gorgeous Seattle summer and having absolutely no complaints.

San Juan Islands - Back to Basics
An expected break from city life had never been so, well, unexpected. This past weekend, we were supposed to go to Chelan for JR's birthday - a big house on the lake with four master bedrooms, that I was REALLY looking forward to. But instead, we ended up going camping in the San Juan Islands! I haven't gone camping since... I was 12 or 13? But I had already confirmed for the weekend, so whereever it took me I thought I was prepared to go.
Victor and I left Seattle immediately after work Friday and started driving out to Anacortes to catch the car ferry. The car-what?! Yeah, that's what I said! What the heck is a car ferry! Anyway, it was gorgeous because we were sailing along the horizon during sunset. And my GOODNESS it was cold! So thankful I brought a jacket, and it really was an afterthought - sadly. When we got to the island, the others met us up at the dock and we headed to the campsite. It was campsite G6. LOL. The fire was already going and there was chicken on the grill. Just what I needed! We set up our tents and joined in on the drinking! It was already around 11 by the time we settled down and we spent the rest of the night sitting around the fire. It was really really nice and relaxing.
Saturday morning we woke up to BEES GALORE. Oh goodness gracious, there were SO many bees. I HATE bees. Very stressful during the day indeed! We went into town to check out the scene - it was a quaint little downtown area with mostly restaurants and boutique shops. We grabbed some coffee, others got ice cream, we bought a few essentials (like batteries for the boombox - d'oh!) and headed back to the campground. I was in the girls car, and we ended up getting distracted on the way back. We passed by a farm with a CAMEL and a LLAMA!! We stopped by the side of the road and lured the animals over to the fence to take pictures of them. SO COOL. We decided to explore more, and we found a park full of metal art pieces, vw bug themed carts for rent, a private airport, and some gorgeous backroads. About an hour later we were back at camp, joining in on the drinking again.
Saturday night was more sitting around the fire, napping, drinking, playing F* the dealer and king's cup, and eating! The whole weekend is kind of a blur in retrospect, but I especially rememeber being all stressed out during the day by the bees, and then feeling SO relaxed at night when the bees had all gone to sleep. :) Sunday night everyone was exhausted and people were dropping like flies. I think by midnight half of us had gone to sleep and the rest stayed up to talk around the fire. I was one of the former, LOL. Saturday night was colder than Friday night, but luckily I had a warm sleeping bag! Overall I was very comfy, I should probably give my inflated mattress pad tons of credit. The only annoying thing was that through the night on Saturday night I was sliding down the slope that the tent was on so I woke up with my face in the corner of the tent. HAHAHA.
Sunday morning we woke up and ate breakfast, corned beef hash YUMMAY! Kristine went to the lodge for something in the morning, and happened to ask a lady about the ferry. This lady told her that we'd need to be at the ferry 2.5+ hours in advance to get into the queue. When she told us that we started packing up and getting ready to go! In less than two hours we had said our goodbyes to the people staying the extra day, and we were back in town wandering around. We went to this hot sauce specialty store where they had amassed all sorts and types of spicy hot condiments! Victor and I also explored small shops that had trinkets and cards, some of the stuff was pretty cool. We had lunch at the crabhouse restaurant and the crabcakes weren't that great. The popcorn shrimp was pretty good though! The ferry ride back was absolutely gorgeous! The sun was gleaming and it was the perfect end to a calming weekend.
Aside from the bees I had a really great time. There were a lot of funny moments and it was nice to hang out with people without technology. To actually interact without tv, cell phones, internet, etc - such a concept. Just getting down to the basics and enjoying booze, food cooked among friends, and genuine people.

New Horizons - Apartment & Bungie Jumping!
Last Friday, after work, Matt and I did our walk-through at the new place and then started hauling all of our crap in. Moving in hungover was not fun, I should not have gotten wasted in Kirkland on Thursday night. The boys did all of the heavy furniture lifting but it was mostly Matt's anyway. I had to drag my laundry bags of clothes, along with the other boxed items that I've amassed all by my lonesome! SUCH A WORKOUT! It ended up being a really late night, and not everything got finished. My bed was only half built, so I slept on the couch but I was so exhausted it didn't matter.
I spent Saturday cleaning the kitchen and my bathroom - wiping everything down and sanitizing. I went to Fred Meyers, Safeway, Dollar Tree, and a few other places to get household essentials. I was too tired to even think about cooking so I went to Victor's for dinner, he was trying to make pork but he accidentally made curry. It was delicious though! We went back to my place to pre-drink, and then we all headed to HG Lodge. My first real Seattle clubbing!! The club was nice looking, clean, and the people were more than decent. Mostly skinny asian girls and clean cut asian guys, then a few odd balls here and there. The most amazing thing is that there is NO dress code. Hat, sneakers, probably sweats even. You can wear anything in Seattle?! That's something to get used to.
Sunday we went BUNGIIIIIE JUMPING!!!! It was sooooo crazy. I was terrified, horrified, petrified, anything that ends with "fied" I was! The feeling of freefalling is like nothing I've ever felt before, and then the bouncing around after the initial fall is kind of like when you fly up on a peak on a roller coaster, except it's 5x more intense. I was so tense that I couldn't even scream! It was amazing though, and now that I know that I won't die from jumping I want to do it again. I'm sure I can really enjoy it next time! The people there were really nice and it was a spectacular experience. I wish it wasn't a 3 hour drive away, but I think it'll be worth going at least once more! When I think about the fall, I can still remember what it feels like and it gives me chills. That two hundred foot drop is insanity man. LOVED IT!

Settling into Seattle
I'm two and a half weeks into this new chapter of my life.. and everything is GREAT! I'm catching on pretty quickly at the new job - I've already been entrusted to check customers in and estimate on repair orders! I still have a lot to learn with how to explain services to customers and upsell, but I think it will come in due time. On a daily basis I balance books and do lots of that maths. I'm getting better at it. LOL
Things I love about Seattle so far:
- Radio stations: such awesome music! If I made my own radio station it would play exactly what 89.5 FM plays here.
- THE WOLF! My favorite morning show from the Bay Area (Fitz in the morning) is still on the air in Seattle. SUCH A TREAT!!!
- Gorgeous weather: I haven't had to wear, nor borrow, a jacket since I first got here! The weather is simply perfect at the moment. People keep saying it'll start raining anyday now, but hey it's been sunny and warm for 2.5 weeks!
- Nice people. Everyone here is nice! My new friends, my coworkers, my customers at work - no one is rude or condescending. HUH?! I know!
- Easy mornings: When I get up at 7:15 AM, the sun is already fully up! It's so easy to get out of bed.. so much moreso than it was in SF. I'm just a tad bit worried about when winter sets in and the sun doesn't come out until late. Oh well, I guess I can worry when the time comes.
Over the past week, Matt and I have been making preparations for moving in together. We found a place near where I work, and it's also convenient for Matt to take the bus to his work. It was a tough choice! After viewing a handful of complexes we got our options down to two, and we ended up applying for the cheaper, more convenient and smaller unit. The one we almost chose had tennis/bball courts, 4 pools, a duckpond, and a gym. It was also huge and really nice! But Matt would have had to take two buses to work from there instead of one, and I'd have to drive to work instead of being in walking distance.
I think either choice would have been fine though. And I don't regret the decision we made. We're moving in on Friday! We already got our furniture and we're still in the process of getting other household things together. Exciting! I'll post pics next week :)
