A Foggy 4th...

After we spent the afternoon at the Berkeley Marina for July 4th festivities, we went to Treasure Island to witness the evening fireworks. The firework show was to be originated from Pier 39 and the views from TI are known to be spectacular. This was to be my first time photographing fireworks and I was very excited to take my first shots. Unfortunately by the time we arrived the fog already rolled it and got thicker and thicker by the hour.



After an hour...very gloomy :-(


We left after freezing our asses off for more than two hours. We went back to Berkeley to watch the show at the Marina but most of the roads leading to there were closed. It was so frustrating that we decided to go home. Good thing on the way back we were treated to our own firework show. Illegal fireworks lit up the sky from Oakland all the way to Union City!

my first worthy entry...seeking Dim Sum in the city

We originally went to the city to attend an autograph signing for Hideo Kojima, the creator of THEE...BEST...GAME...EVER, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots. Unfortunately you had to wait in line for several hours to get access to the Metreon's Playstation Store where he was situated. I read on some other blog that people who arrived four hours early couldn't get in.

Beforehand we went out to Chinatown to seek Dim Sum. Being such rookies at hitting up Dim Sum spots, we took the suggestion of one lady passing out fliers for a Dim Sum spot that was kinda hidden in an allyway. The place is called Hang Ah and sooooooo good!

My first blog...be nice :-)

Inspired by the blog of my dear cousin Jojo, I've went ahead and started my own because the world really needs to know about my daily eats, sleeps and shits.

Enjoy!
