Not everybody liked her. A lot were really scared of her. But she was my dog. And when she would see me she would run to me and want to be carried. And she had this little Pikachu squeaky toy that she loved.

– stupid remark of mine when I “touristed” at Coit Tower.
Jeans
I’ve always had “sturdy” legs so I couldn’t imagine wearing the skinny jeans that everyone was wearing in the last year or so even if I wanted to (leg just wont go through the jeans hehe). I had been eyeing some Rogans at the Rolo Garage for the past few months because I liked that they were really loose at the leg and not baggy… and FINALLY FINALLY they went on sale. Salamat, because I could not afford them otherwise. Well, I STILL couldn’t afford them heee. J paid for the jeans 
I got 2 pairs - blue denim and black. Yay 
Coat
A necessity in SF, especially since the “winter” is coming. I like them thin but insulating, and a bit tailored. I got this one in chocolate brown on sale (hehe notice a pattern). White would have been nice but it wasn’t there. Besides, I’m too madungis.
Shoes
Since I commute all the time and walk a lot I can really only use comfy walking shoes. I got a pair of aerosoles for 16bucks at Ross, but nothing beats sneakers talaga. So I got these.
But in my alternate rich, small-footed life I wear these
Sidetable
We don’t have a bed and sleep on a mattress on the floor. This is for practical reasons (no need to sweep under the bed) and really, we haven’t found a bed we like enough….(I’m liking this though)
I did need a side table because my books, glasses, phone, etcetera just form a pile of junk on my side of the floor. And when we were in Valencia St. last Saturday Joel found a nice simple, low one (about 14 inches high which is the lowest we found na hindi pasadya).
It’s got this nice depression so my glasses don’t slip off
Still more prints for framing
Naku I got this and this, and we haven’t framed anything pa. I’m thinking of filling up the entire wall along the main entry hallway (a narrowish longish space) with a LOT of frames. From what I’ve got I’d say the main theme would be “women” hehe (here are the other prints I bought — 1, 2, 3). J likes things spare though, so this is still up for discussion.
Ok last na for this post.
Chair
I’ve always wanted a Pollock chair –we always wanted to use one in our projects but could never afford it, para man lang I could sit on one of these babies. No Eames aluminums for me (although I wouldn’t mind an apple green Spinneybeck one as a gift haha).
So when this came up on Craigslist J got it for the house. Buti nalang malapit na yung birthday ko 
My dream chair. Smells like a lolo, but I still love it.

In Manila we would order a Yellow Cab Pizza.

Green Papaya Salad
fresh garlic, Thai chili, tomatoes, peanuts, spicy lime dressing

fresh mango, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaf, red & green onions, sesame oil, spicy lime dressing
It was a belated birthday lunch for my officemate and we went to Osha, a “hip” (don’t you hate that word) Thai restaurant on Valencia Street.
The salads were delicious! and very pretty. It’s a pity J wasn’t there with his camera to take photos.
But my thai food heart still belongs to Thai House Express, home of the heavenly duck larb. I get kilig and do a dance of joy when I see it in front of me.
