Santa cruz

Sept 1 is Labor day. So it makes this weekend is a long weekend.

After our roommates' long distance bicycle trip(they rode it to Suasulito). 

We were planing to go to Santa cruz which is a old surfing spot.

Really? I though surfing start from penguin. Whatever!!

Because I will move to San Jose. For reducing one more trip to San francisco, I packed my stuff and brought it with me to the trip of Santa cruz.

Thank for li-well to pick us up.

It looks like so many people want to go to beach today.

We took 1 hour to there and it should take half hour only.

 We were planning to go to there and maybe we can surf there. But we didn't have any surf board or swimsuit.

But after we arrived there, it was indeed so many people there but it's ok, I guess.

It is a very big beach and contains many volleyball court there.

After we arrived there, we were attracted by many good figure female and followed them to play some volleyball with them.

My friends told me that they might be teenager. well! OK.

And we play volleyball about 3 to 4 hours.

We didn't go surfing even that e didn't touch ocean at all, ha ha.

 It's a beautiful place but it might be a traditional holiday spot and many tourist there.

So it is not so beautiful to me.

We just went back from Lake Tahoe. It's really beautiful in summer.

We went to a Chinese restaurant after beach volleyball.

I feel so good and I'd love it.

And actually I'm so enjoy to spend time with my friends today.

Thanks for everybody I felt great.....

I love summer.... and to stay a place's weather is like summer everyday.

I think I will enjoy it....

So long!! San Francisco......!    

Thanks for Richard's sharing tonight

Today is Wed and it's our snack dinner again.
Jane had cook for us so many times.
So today we decided to let her take a rest...... And everyone prepared one dish of food.
I prepared Fried tomato with eggs, hot shrimps with wine and fish ball soup.
Each dish was first time I ever tried.... and I saw many many times of recipe...
Just like I do presentation before. I will rehearsal many times in my brain.
But I waited until 6.30 p.m.. It seemed nobody came home. I am so hungry.....
I had to wait otherwise food will not hot enough.
Finally, everyone came back then I can cook.... because I prepared every condiments before so I could do it in a short time.
It was really funny after you saw people do it before and now I do it same.
Just like first time I saw myself can draw something good.... It feels good.
After I served every food on the table and everyone started eating.
I took a rest and watch people eating just like Calvin would do after he served food to us.
I felt satisfied again.........^^
I really enjoy this kind of feeling. And starting understand why people said food could provide happiness to people.
I am not saying that I can cook. I started cooking since I came here.
But I can test similar feeling.....
They ate too fast that I forgot took photos today even Richard's share later.... It's pity.
Richard is a AAU's student and he study at industrial design master degree now.
Now he is a second years student.
I mentioned him before. He did a really good presentation today.
Everyone focused on him and felt interesting.
He shared with us until 11.00 clock.
I guessed everyone like his work during school.
But I saw other things. Such as personality.....
Every time I heard people talking about his own situation.
I cannot help that I will start to simulate myself to that situation.
I will think if it was me, what I would do at that moment or a period of time.
He learned design since before he applied AAU one year.
It means he learned design about 3~4 years.
But how long I had been design business?
4 years for college and 5 years for working. It's almost 10 years now....
How shamed am I? Really...... How shamed am I>....?
There are some thing I need to learn form this man and it's very important.
I shall not avoid anymore.... I need find my passion back.......
Yes it's passion............ How far you could go for LOVE? This is a Car-tier's new slogan.
How far I could do for design.......... for what I love... to do .. ?

Thank you again.. Richard ..... It's really nice to meet you at SF..

About squirrels...

Recently, the weather is good everyday in SF.

It almost everyday is sunny.

So one day I took a little walk to Golden Gap Park.

It is very close which I live.

If you took bike, it would spend you 5~10 minutes to get there.

But I prefer walking to there.  

I came here many times.

So after I arrived there, I took another path that I don't usually take.

It is a narrow winding trail.

I so like there. You can avoid the main road's noise and see many squirrels.

Actually in SF, you can see squirrels at many place or trees.

But this is first time, I am so close to them.

Basically, they jumped around me all the time.

Like saying that can you give me some food?

But they seemed that they can tell you had food or not in a short time.

Luckily, I met an old couple who were feeding them.

And I ask them can I take photos of squirrels?

They agreed happily. Even more, they shared me some walnut.

Squirrels were a very smart and brave animals.

Actually, they don't afraid of me at all.

You can see them holding your hand and ask for more and more.

And they have teeth and claw.

It hurts...... T_T......

It was an interesting experience with squirrels at Golden Gap Park.

People said sometimes you may see raccoons at Golden Gap Park.

But even though whey look so cute. They are mean. Easy get angry...

If I saw them, I'd be better keep away from them.

haha..... I'd expect that....

Can you give me some food?

I'm so happy with my walnut.

Long time no see Downtown.

It has been 1 month I didn't go to downtown SF since I left ZOE.

Today I went out and met WangHua at Mogemary.

WangHua is AAU student and Michael introduced him to me.

I am glad that I had chance to know him.

We had lunch at Japanese restaurant.

He brought me to see his school.

I saw many good graphic design. But due to product design's building is not there, so I didn't see it. He told me a lots of what he learned from AAU.

Mostly, he learned from his classmate and other subject more than product design.

I am so admire that he had chance to do that and most important thing is he has passion.

I can tell he learn design happily.

That's most important thing.

I hope that I can learn this from him instead of  my emotional temper now.

Thank you, Michael that you introduce him to me.

Yosemite trip

I had heard Yosemite many times.

After I came to U.S., I keep hearing people talking about it.

Finally, I got a chance to go there and luckily friends will take me to there.

Thanks for Danny and John. Specially thanks to Danny's uncle and aunt to let us stay at their house.

We left SF at 5.30. Then we saw beautiful sunrise.

Yosemite is so beautiful even though it is during dry season.

We didn't see the beautiful Yosemite waterfall.

But we still saw a lots of beautiful rocks, tree and animals(included human).

The air there is so fresh. The rocks there are so special.

They said that during ice age. It brought a lots of rocks down here.

So we can see many many special rocks here.

And many animals live here too, specially squirrels.

We saw squirrels many times and they don't afraid of human.

Sometimes they look like asking you to give them food.

After Yosemite, we went to Merced and we stayed at Danny uncle's house.

The house is beautiful and Danny's uncle and aunt are so nice.

They have a swimming pool in their house and we go swimming of course.

I always think one of the main reason that makes a trip good which is people.

What kind of people you met on your trip and how you interact with them.

Every people make you feel different.

And I am really lucky that i met a lots of good friends at CA which make me feel this place like home.

Thank you God for preparing this for me.
