little moments, sceneries and being present.

The hollyhock seeds I planted 29 weeks ago

finally bloomed! My mom sent me pictures:

 THEY ARE EVEN LOVELIER THAN I HAD PREDICTED.

I made this at work while parallel playing
and giving positive descriptive feedback.

Completed another week! I deserve some ice cream.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Spent the morning in the Mission,

picked up some amazing things at Tartine Bakery

and ate a chocolate croissant on Linda St.

 banana cream pie tart ~*~*~

^ THIS building has glory.

I chatted with a stranger selling vintage things
on the street and turns out, he worked at the deyoung
35 years ago, in the room King Tut was exhibited in.
 ~
Then, suddenly, I saw my friend Mary sitting on

the curb, eating a salad while on her lunch break.

The view was so beautiful I had to pull over

to get a better look. I tried to go to this beach

but realized every single car in the parking lot

was a secret service vehicle, got really confused,

so i left and ate a crab sandwich instead.

Legion of Honor

I love being a tourist (with a car).

I am always so amazed when I give the
front desk my work badge, and they hand
me a free admission ticket...

2.5 months ago,

i envisioned myself driving across this bridge,
with the radio on and my hair flying around
in the golden afternoon sunshine & bay breezes.
 

And now it's actually happening
(DAILY, but with some more fog..)

i'm living the dream~*~*~

only at this job can i wear a sunhat all day,

and play the Amelie & Miyazaki soundtrack

while setting up the art studios.

i keep meeting THE COOOLEST little humans.

we dig for treasure, converse in Mandarin,

design paper pizzas and twist wire into bouquets.

they are curious, unafraid and
have no filters. it's pretty
refreshingly amazing.

'Heisenberg' and I huddled in a nest on a sand dune,
sipped sake and cheered to "summer" in san francisco :)

cheers to more adventures~*~*~

REREUNITED WITH PAI!!

browsed lots of vendors + got free bags of chips.

happy birthday ellen!

you deserve a trophy.

i love mornings to myself.

i sat in a lovely garden and noticed how

perfectly balanced & intentionally harmonious

the design was. i became inexplicably happy + sleepy.

I passed out on a bench inside the museum
and then later, deliriously wandered into a video
exhibit about the fusion of contemp + traditional
Maori garment making.

The artist kept on speaking about the
importance of whakapapa and it filled me with
more happiness that i knew what that meant,
and how special and ingrained it is
for Pacific Islanders.

then i sat next to a room full

of Frank Lloyd Wright's creations :D

I am completely baffled by how

extraordinarily kind and unnecessarily helpful

everyone i've encountered has been to me.

SF, you have restored my hope in humanity.

~*~*~*~*
looking forward to all that is to come~

 and cheers to new people, flavors and
getting to know/supporting local business owners!

first day of new job!

i think i said "HI FRIEND!" about 200 times today.

~
"what flavor do you think this green ice cream is?"

"cabbage." 
~
as a job perk, i get free unlimited access to
all museums in the bay area.
whooooOOOOO!!!!

there are such amazing murals everywhere!
