Pray For Japan

Lady Gaga's Japan prayer bracelets has arrived! Lady Gaga designed them herself and would hope that all her "little monsters" would help the civilians who are suffering in Japan by purchasing these bracelets.

レディガガがつくったブレスレットです。「日本の為に祈りを。」ってかいてあります。アメリカも日本のことをかんがえていますよ。レディガガが言うったとうり、お祈りしています。

back

Back from San Francisco. What a trip. Came back so late. San Francisco was fun. G'night.

Interesting things today at San Francisco (notes)

Saw the same people many times.
- Japanese family
- Old Timer walking around the wharf.
- Magic trick helper at Starbucks.

Ramon's quotable remarks.
- "I have six siblings, and I'm trying to find six more. Why? Because you know what they say, 'cheaper by the dozen'."

- (In a Philippines accent) "I come from the Philippines and when I first came here, nobody understood my accent. When I said that house looks 'purple' (paruparu) to my friends, they gave me popcorn. And when I said that it was my 'first day here' (parusday), they wished me a happy birthday."

- In Washington Square, there's a statue of Benjamin Franklin. Look at him, he looks so confused; he doesn't even know where he is. A statue of Franklin in Washington Square? DUHHH."

Homeless people

There are so many people here in San Francisco; a majority of them tourists, locals, and last but not least, the homeless.

Now, these aren't your usual homeless. These are the very persuasive homeless. In other words, homeless who come up to you in the street to ask you for money like they're your well-known friend. Many of the signs they put are also hilarious. One homeless sitting on the street, looking drunk, holds a sign that reads, "Need a dollar for weed." Another writes, "Why lie? I need beer."

These homeless actually comes up to you and like, talks to you, really!

That's different, I thought.

San Francisco

A long day-- night. I woke up at 4am in the morning today and was off to a flight to San Francisco at 7am. I was originally assigned a middle seat, but luckily there was nobody in the window side so I sat there. I took pictures. A 6 hour 4minute flight. It was okay. It's completely different compared to a 13 hour flight to Tokyo.

Upon our arrival, we got lost, trying to figure out how to get to the greater San Francisco area. We tried to find BART, the SFO subway, which took forever. San Francisco's airport has to be more clearer. The signs were very unclear and hard to understand. We went up the elevators to the 5th floor parking, then down to the 1st, up the 3rd, down the 2nd, and back down to 1st. We eventually found BART, (hilarious name by the way)and rode it to our hotel.

San Franciscans all have one thing basically in common; rude. They don't really 'care' as to say about the tourists and the people around them. One cable car motor man dropped us off in the middle of Chinatown stating, "what, you don't speak english? Last stop guys."

Fisherman's Wharf was amazing. So many fisherman. They all speak loudly, since they are mostly out at sea. Fresh seafood were AMAZING. TASTE BUD GASM. If there is such a thing. Clam chowder and fried calamari were both great.

San Francisco has so many steep roads, it's crazy how cars and buses are able to drive on the streets. I'd suggest to not bike wherever there are these steep roads.

My feet hurt ridiculously. They sting. Well, it's probably because I've been walking for 20--or 14 technically-- hours straight. Ow. Jeez. But so far, things are well. I'm gonna get some rest. I'll put up some pictures soon.

super moon peculiarity

After the 7.0 earthquake that hit Myanmar just recently, and the continuous snow that's been falling when it's spring tells a lot about the super moon (if that is the cause, that is).

Now can it be proven that the super moon is linked with natural disasters and peculiar weather?

... or is it not the super moon and I'm thinking too much?

What's with this snow?

Why in the world is it snowing at a time like this? Is it just me or is it peculiar? Less than a week ago, it was 74 degrees. Now, it literally dropped down to about 35 degrees, barely above the freezing point. This reminds me of winter now, damn it. It's spring!

なぜ春なのに雪が降ってる？！不思議ゃ！
