San Fran Day 2 : Sights To See!

DAY 2: We in the "Cuts" ??? hahaha!


Thank you Junior for my very 1st SF hoodie!



We went out late the night before and went to some little town into a little cut bar, posted up at the bar and watched the last half of the Celtics VS Lakers game and ate some good pizza and wings! The bar itself was kinda dead but everyone there was watching the game and was madd hating on the Lakers ( AS EVERYONE SHOULD... but let's not get into that. Lakers fans: We'll agree to disagree, mmk?). I have to say, the irish bartender made me some of the best highballs I've ever had: Double Rum with diet coke and pineapple - Tastes like sugar cane.. real talk! Then the next concoctions he made was called the " Bananarama" which consistent of captain morgan, peach schnapps, organge juice and pineapple juice- AMAZING! I highly recommend it!

After that, they took me to a bunch of lovely spots: we went to Stow Lake, where Junior was telling me and Boogs about " The Lady in White" - the whole shabam about that is that this lady had 2 kids and they went off into the lake and were playing, but drowned. Shes apparently still earthbound and lingers around the lake looking for her kids. Unfortunately, we didnt get to see " The Lady In White" but we did see the statue of her and her kids, it was kinda freaky! hahaha Junior tried to scare the shit outta me, but ended up freaking out Boogie; you just kinda had to be there.


On the top of Turtle Hill

We then proceeded to Turtle Hill: not a tourist spot, but its where all the locals go to see the beautiful view of most of SF. Its a pretty high spot cause there were madd flights of stairs... i think i worked off all the good food i ate that day. it was hella windy and we chilled there and had a couple smokes and then bounced.



this picture doesn't justify how beautiful Coit Tower looks.


Next spot we went to was Coit Tower, that was amazing to see at night... HOLY MOLY! i wish i brought my SLR at the time because i would have been able to get many sick shots, i did manage to get some dope shots with the blackberry, so i'll post those up when i get home. stayed there for a bit and then proceeded to the crocked street in SF - Lombard street. Boogie and Junior told me to drive down... I said " HA. F*ck that noise!" it was pretty crazy... if you were drunk... driving down that thing would sober you up, for sure! after that... we just called it a night! END OF DAY 2!!!

Alright, Day 3... I'll write that up later on tonight, I took tons of Dope pictures, so ya'll are in for a treat! Stay Tuned!

JA-WOW!!! I just woke up this morning to the sun shining into my room, it's a nice change from the clouds and crappy weather we have back home ( sorry guys!! ) So right when I got to SFO, I can already begin to tell you how much i hate that airport, even more so than i do PDX (Portland). My flight was delayed in the air for landing for a good hour. The guy beside me, nice guy but he wouldnt shut the hell up. Landed finally and waited almost an hour for my luggage.

Finally met up with Boogie and we drove back to his hood. I was trying to absorb the lovely scenic route, buildings, signs.. everything. I mentioned to Boogie how i found this place like home, but it was totally different. We washed up, met up with Jessie and proceeded down to Frisco's Haight Street. There's a lot of history about this street, apparently during the Vietnam war, this was the grounds for protesting against it and so there was so much history to this street. Cute shops, tattoo and piercing spots... we met up with Junior and they took me to the record store to do some "diggin' "... I dont think i've ever been sooo overwhelmed with all the vinyls and cds. all the old school stuff thats next to impossible to find.

We rolled down to Cha Cha Cha's, cuban joint and waited a little while for seats. It was pretty busy but we chilled out at the bar, had some good talks over a couple pitchers of Sangria. NOW... Havana on the drive, i must say, i love that joint and their Sangria is amazing on the patio, but Cha Cha Cha's beats you by a long shot. Juniors friend Jennifer met up with us, down ass and so nice!! We all got our table, ordered some of the best food i ever ate and moseyed out our way to the Hooka bar the block down. Now at this time, i'm already buzzin from the Sangria, we each got a drink and smoked some good mixed berry tobacco. The joint had a pretty chill feel to it, I never realized how common they were here because we only have one of them back home.

After Hooka, we rolled to twin peaks, they all wanted to show me how dope the view was of the city. Its like going to Burnaby Mountain late night and just admiring the carpets of lights that outlines different streets and parts of the city. This was by far the nicest point ive ever seen in a long time. It was hella windy and even though i was in jeans, a tee and my hoodie... i was freeeezing! We rolled home and caught some ZZzzZZZz's.

This morning we started off the day pretty early. Baya, Boogie's niece, woke Boogie up and we all got up and proceeded to fill our bellies with some food!He took us to this little place called the " Black Bear Diner". Very cute little spot with newpapers as menus. Got me one of my all time favorite breakfasts, Corned beef hash, over medium eggs and English muffins. I was only able to eat half of it and i was hella full... both Boogie and i got madd case of food coma aka itis!

Boogie lives about 45 mins from Frisco in a nice city called "Sunset City", the view from his house is amazing! We drove down towards the lake near his home and wow... so much wild life and the plains are out of this world. People parked to the side to fish of the little piers and bridges. Boogie stopped by one of his favorite spots to fish, we pulled over and had a smoke, its extremely windy but if it wasnt for the breeze it would be scorching hot.

Just about to head out to the city and watch the game somewhere.... :)

sooo... has anyone gotten any tattoos anywhere in frisco thats worth going... i wanna get me my quote that i've always wanted!!

I'm Going ... Going, Back ... Back to Cali.. Cali!

That's right folks, yet again, and as I do every year... I'm headed back to California!! This trip was really intended to visit friends, I think the past couple of years that I've gone, it's been overkill on the shopping. My sister knows how I shop so I think I've been to every single mall there is in the OC area... I know... Horrible!

This year I have taken a different approach, I purposely left all my credit cards at home and have come with cash with that being specifically used for activities. I going all out on the sight seeing and we'll leave the shopping for another time.

1st stop, the Frisco area! I'm excited actually because this is my 1st time to Northern California. I have some distance fam bam there, but this is strictly to visit Bay area friends and let them show me around. I know as corny as it sounds, I wanna see the Golden Gate bridge and hit up the academy of science, see korea town, etc!! Hella excited!! I'll be staying with good friend Boogie who I know has tons of things for us to do and for me to see.

Keep you guys posted... im about to board the plane ... Portland... please be good to me, dont let me gauge my eyes out for the 2 hours im there!!!

*CROSS FINGERS* Please.. Please let me sit beside someone cute! :P
