It's almost weekend

It's time for a break. It's Labor Day weekend and just like last year, I am headed to San Francisco but this time with different group of people. Actually, this will be my first time to spend an out of town trip with Totoy Gatas and I will meet most of his friends, as well as their girlfriends, for the first time too. I'm kinda excited about it but I am also shy since I haven't been in this situation for a long time now. Come to think of it, I haven't really been in this kind of situation since these are mixed nationalities I will be spending time with. It's amazing though that all his roommates are dating Asians too (2 Filipinos and 1 Indonesian). We are also meeting his Filipino guy friend in Oakland. Damn, Asians meet the Whites or vice versa kind of thing. I'm still different coz this is the first I will be hanging out with them and I'm the only Filipino who was not really raised here. Matt even said that he knows more Filipino words more than they know.

I'm sure this trip is going to be fun. No work to think about for him that he normally does even on weekends. I hope we will eat at PPQ and the newly open Gerry's Grill in Union City. Damn, whatever happens, I will try my very best to make him or them go there with me. PPQ is to die for! The best crab I ever tasted so far in the States and the price is very reasonable. Oh well, Gerry's Grill is an all time fave for sisig back home. I hope it tastes like how Gerry's Grill back home tastes or probably even better since my taste buds for Filipino food changed here already. I'm not so picky about it and most of the Filipino food here tastes really good to me since I seldom have one.

Matt said we do not have really set plans on where to go and what to do in SF. The only set one is that we have to watch his roommate's show on Sunday night. Since he didn't make plans or he didn't have the time to make those, I've been thinking about things to do. Of course, when they're Nats's plans, they involve eating, eating and eating more.... hahaha. He better prepares for these. Food really makes me happy. Just checking the addresses and sites of the places I want to go to eat makes me so so hungry. Hahaha, eating is really one of my simple joys in life. I can never go wrong with food. :) Check these two URLs www.gerrysgrill.com/us/index.php, www.ppqdungeness.com/photo.htm and you'll definitely agree with me.

Damn, I almost forgot that it's only Friday tomorrow and I still have to go to work. Gotta pack stuff for SF trip now and switch on my work mode tomorrow morning BUT... it feels like weekend already! I can even smell the aroma of the sisig and see the chicharon on top of it... Oh and the crab with garlic all over plus the garlic noodles,what a perfect combination!
