i found my heart in SF...

at last, i'm starting to feel whole again. had a weekend of good food, lots of good friend time and some adult-errandy things that have to be done, but make life just that much easier (still no time for laundry tho, and boy do i need to do it).

on Saturday, I did the SF MOMA Scavenger Hunt with my other teammates as part of Team SuperTasters. :) We were one of 52 teams selected out of 207 who applied and the 10-hour day included going into porn stores to find paddles, bartering with some guy at the UN Plaza for his dreadlock, making poo out of clay, carving a horse out of a carrot and trying to get a hold of a mattress, toilet and skull. Needless to say it was a fantastic experience. But alas, we did not win the $4K prize money. That's okay. it's about team work and fun right? (man, that 4 grand would have been nice...)

We did, however, get some of our goods displayed in the museum exhibit that's going on today through Oct. 3rd! So if you are in the bay area and get the chance to check it out, it's our claim to fame!

Today, i had a nice day of brunch (Ti Couz), visiting the exhibit and going to Target and the grocery store (I LOVE Target). little did i know that getting a trashcan, some handsoap and a towel would make me so happy (esp when my life didn't have those things yesterday).

I'm starting to feel it now. my life getting back into the groove of things. getting to enjoy and take advantage of all the things the bay area has to offer.

just a few weeks ago, my girlfriends and i took a long walk through golden gate park. Some of the things we encountered: chatting with some old guys who were racing their little remote control boats in the lake, the new De Young observatory and museum, the Power to the Peaceful Festival and the Yoga for Peace folks doing yoga on the grassy hill - only in SF! there are usually also hang gliders taking off at the edge of the park towards the beach and kite flying too. i love this city.

the other thing that i'm excited about is really starting to engage with my friends again. i've been kinda hiding since i moved here a couple of months ago because i just felt unsettled and overwhelmed with having no apartment (until last week!) and just starting a new job again (which i still love!). the nice thing is realizing that here, there are all the friends i have known, those i'm getting to re-know again, and the many interesting ones i'm just starting to get to know. it's like a feeling of the familiar and the new all at once.

good times. sf...i'm home.
