Chinatown
Posted on March 15, 2010 by Ching under Travel.
Just as we had to ride a cable car, no visit to San Francisco is complete without a trip to Chinatown. Here’s a picture of me and Jay at the entrance.
This second picture of me and Jay was taken with his camera.
I wish we had a Chinatown over here. Everything was so cheap! Jay and Becca got a large luggage for $20. We found a similar one at the Walgreens by our hotel for $50. I love Chinatown. It’s the perfect place for miserly ol’ me. LOL.

We boarded the cable car from Union Square. While we were waiting (there was a line), we got treated to a drum line performance. It was pretty cool.

Our City Pass included free admission to the Aquarium of the Bay at Pier 39 so we decided to check it out on Saturday morning. Here are some of my favorite pictures..
I took a ton of photos at the Aquarium of the Bay. Click here for more.

San Francisco Cable Car
Posted on March 14, 2010 by Ching under Travel.
No trip to San Francisco is complete without riding a cable car.
We found one that was stopped (due to a fire down the street). Jay has this great idea to take photos on it while it was parked. That’s the perfect time to take photos, actually, so that no one else is in your shot. Cable cars are usually crowded otherwise.
Anyway, the guy who was watching the cable car was super nice. He offered to take our photos so that all four of us could be in the picture.
I always have to different. LOL.
Alright, we are all waving in this one.

Pacquiao vs. Clottey
Posted on March 14, 2010 by Ching under Life.
April, Cory, Becca, Jay, and Chad came over last night to watch the Pacquio vs. Clottey fight. We didn’t have our living room furniture yet (still being made, but should arrive by the end of the month — or so I’m told by the Slumberland sales rep who helped us) so a few of us had to sit on the floor.
We had enough people for our poker game but, without a poker table (mom has our octagonal one) and with barely any furniture, our new place isn’t conducive to playing poker. We played Apples to Apples (a game that we played for the first time at the Phelps’ a couple of weeks ago) instead. We had so much fun playing it at the Phelps’ (even with just four people) that Brian and I decided to get the game also while we were at Target last week, getting groceries and supplies for the new place.
Apples to Apples is so fun that it actually woke Becca up. She fell asleep (actually April did, too) during that boring fight. The fight had two strikes against it: it started so late (I think it was 10:30 pm before the Pacquiao vs. Clottey bout started) and it was not exciting at all (no knock downs or knock outs). I mean, what was up with Clottey? It was like he was fighting scared, hiding behind his defense the entire time. He barely threw any punches. I would have fallen asleep too, if my eyes weren’t glued to the screen.
Despite the boring fight, the guys still managed to be loud and boisterous. Hopefully, we weren’t so much so that we disturbed the peace and quiet of the apartment complex. That’s against the rules, you know? LOL.
To the Dills, Phelps, and Chad: Thank you guys for coming over and watching my idol beat the crap out of someone with me. You guys didn’t have to give us any money. We wanted to share. I saw bills on the counter when we were picking up after everyone left and was like, “What the heck?” Brian told me that he kept saying no, but you guys dropped money on the counter anyway. Thank you, but you guys really didn’t have to. I think deep down Brian was thinking, “Woo hoo! I have lunch money this week.” LOL. Hopefully next time it will be Pacquiao vs. Mayweather. That’ll be an exciting one for sure!
