This past weekend was full of ups and downs and I mean that in the literally sense. This weekend I spent time with a couple of my friends hiking the lovely but difficult Dipsea Trial in Muir Woods which is about a half hour drive north of San Francisco. That weather granted us a beautiful clear spring morning to get our start hike and we huff and puff down around 8 miles (roundtrip mind you) of this serene trail and enjoying each other companies. We stop off for a quick brunch and turn around and enjoy hiking back to the car. I also met with H and L to watch the Chinese New Year parade and had a quick bite of dinner at this place. After all that fun. I was one totally tired out guy.
Today is also the 6 month anniversary of me and M together. It been 6 most special month with a guy ever in my life. I couldn’t believe that one man can have made me so happy and content with life. He totally loves me 110% and the feeling are just as equally strong in return. In less than two months we are moving in together as a couple and a new chapter of my life will be starting. I’m scared of that new chapter for fears of losing my independence but I am willing to take that risk and see where it goes. Only time will tell.

My cousin’s finally did her Chinese wedding banquet after being married a few months back. They wanted to wait until some of the groom’s family could make it out before they did the banquet. His family seems to be really close like our family. It is quite something to see so many people and new relatives that you never met and most likely have only the rarest re-meeting with them later. The banquet was full of good times and lots of eating, too bad my sister couldn’t make due to her being a bit sick and a recent death of my brother in law’s family. So they are doing a period of mourning right now. I will have picture to post up later once I get them back.
On a quick note to everyone. Happy Chinese New Year, may the year of the pig be better than the last year.

Recently I came back from Dallas to spend a early V-Day together. It was actually my very first Valentines I ever had in my life. Yes after 28 years on this earth, I finally have a guy in my life that I actually could have done a Valentines for. So I gave M a theme of chocolates for him. I got him some specially made M&Ms that you can order from online in which you can personalized it, I also got him some fine dark chocolate box and a chocolate / espresso color dress shirt. He got me a teddy bear, a rose, chocolate from my favorite chocolatier and a shirt. All very nice and we had a great Valentine day together.
Dallas is a city in which I don’t think too highly of. Too spread out, too many superficial people with fake attitudes and the food was okay. I did Texasian / TexJapanese food and I can safely say. That is the worst set of Fusion food I ever tasted. It wasn’t worth the price M had to pay for it. But the Tex-Mex I had there was pretty good so that made up for it. Oh and the only touristy thing I did is saw where John F. Kennedy got assainated. Whoop! But the thing I notice the most about the most is how little minorities was around. With me growing up in San Francisco most of my life and knowing what diversity is like. I felt like a fish out of water in Dallas. I felt mostly uncomfortable being in that type of situation and just made me more apperciative of what I have in San Francisco. Lucky me.

As some of you know, I have left the nest. Suprising I am doing quite well, maybe because I have been so independent. I live in a great apartment with one of my roommates and an ex roommate at the moment. (Long story with that part will have to write about some other time), I really do love where I live but the bus ride home at times can be too much.
Honestly I never knew what ghetto truly was until I started living here and dealing with the bus ride home at night. The bus ride at home is about 20% professional people, normal people (families) and art students, we are the ones with the gorgeous views of SF and running trails and the quietness; the other 80% are people who live in Section 8 low income housing and people who are in the Job Corp. Basically the people in the Job Corps are also mostly low income people with absolutely no social graces and need to be in the Job Corps to get at least even the most basic jobs in the city. They are actually a bit better than the people who live in the low income housing, since there is only one bus going to and from the island, we all have to take the bus together. Which turn into a huge social and class experiment.
The front part of the bus is usually the people who live on the nice side of the island. Over 75% of us have our earphones on because the back of the bus is where the ghetto people will sit. They will talk really loud and occasionally a scuffle will break out. The front part of the bus will take no notice of it while the back part would be rooting them on. This will last for about 12 mins until we reach to the “ghetto” side of the island in a flash over 70% of the bus will disappear and we will continue on our route. This is the usual scenario that happens about 65% of the time. I am used to it but for people who don’t know about how the island is like. They will be in shock……
I can’t wait until I can take cabs home from work.
On the funner end. I am going to Texas…Dallas, Texas. I am going to visit M for a early Valentine visit since V-day falls on a Wednesday and I can’t go next weekend because of my cousin’s wedding banquet and Chinese New Year. Will report back my experience of Texas next week. I think there might be a mechanical bull involved. *wink*
See you guys next week!

So this weekend was a very fun albeit very tiring with the long hike that we did on Mt. Tamalpais last Saturday with H and some of my close friends. This hike was a fun one with a lot of ups and downs, gradual inclines and steep ones as well. But we were rewards with great weather and clear skies, making this hike an easy one to do. It was also one of my friend’s son second hike with his family and we were forunate to be his chaperone to this hike.
All in all, good times, great excerise and the new found motivation to get myself back on course to start running again and back into training.
On a side note, today was my 5 month anniversary with M, it is very hard to be away from a guy who goes out of his way to make you happy. I am very forunate to have found such a great mate who I can see myself being with for a very long time. Only time will time but to M: I do love you very much and thank you for being you. Thanks for all the smiles and your goofy ass remarks. Thank you for letting me be me.

You know that your roommate is finally comfortable with you when you come home from work and he is in the kitchen getting ice cream and one of the ex-roommate who is staying with us temporary watching tv and both of them wearing t-shirts and briefs underwear. Nice images to be coming home to. *laughs*

I told M that I have start blogging again but I also told him that I won’t probably want him reading my blog. The reasoning behind it is that this is my place for clearing out thoughts and putting my thoughts into writing. Some of these thoughts will include M a lot but since is where I am going to put these thoughts down. I wanted to freedom to write out my feelings in one place, having him reading this will not let me write out my thoughts to its fullest potential. After discussing this with him, he was supportive of my decision and will respect my wishes. It makes me thankful that M can be so understanding of my space and what I wanted to keep private. It’s one of the many reasons why I fell in love with him.
Work, these days have been extremely busy. Sometimes I wish I can limited the access of certain secretaries to me. But towards the end of the day, one of the secretaries I work with on the limited basis said the nicest thing to me to lift my spirits. She told me that while other might not apperciate who I am sometimes, that I was a very good person and don’t let these people pull you down. They do apperciate for all I do and thank me and it is nice to hear it once in a while. It brings me back into focus and ready to tackle the rest of this week head on.

I’m back!!!
Funny how one year can change a person. After a self imposed one year hiatus from blogging. My creative juices and the passion for blogging once again reemerges. I wanted to start off this blog with all the changes that happen with me this past one year.
1) I moved out. As of August 20, 2006, I moved out of home and living with a roommate now on a place call Treasure Island. Yes it is called that and yes I am still in the city. I got a great view of the city and it is quite quiet here. But I love it here. I love living so close to work because it is only one bus ride away.
2) I have a tattoo. I finally suckered up and got a tattoo of the word “dream” in Chinese/Japanese. Got that tattoo in July. Hurts like hell because I got it on the lower back. Not the best place to get your first one.
3) Still at the law firm. Am up for a promotion that has not been announced to the group yet. Hopefully soon. Good news more money. Bad news I have a later work schedule 3:30pm to midnight once I am fully trained.
4) I am still running. Running has turn to a quite a passion for me. I am determined to do my first marathon this year.
and…..
5) I have a great boyfriend. We met on myspace and he is the best thing in the world to me. I shall affectionaly named him M. We were freinds first and he came out for a visit and things flew off from there. After being single for so long, I finally found a guy who lets me be me. All my goofiness and sarcastic-ness that I have been so lovingly accepted by M. We been going for over 4 months strong and currently he is living in Texas. But at the end of May, he will be moving out here to be with me. I have all hopes that this relationship will last a long time but only time will tell.
That’s it for right now.
