HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER DEAREST!

After waking up counting the hours 'til our flight.
After having one last family dinner at Yakimix.
After being on the plane for 13 hours and going through customs and immigration for roughly 2 hours, we are here.

HELLO SAN FRANCISCO!

First impressions? Well, I actually developed one before departure. I made a new American friend named David (yay! first friend!) while waiting for our plane to depart from the Philippines. I was playing Plants vs Zombies and he was asking what it was about :)) He's currently a nursing student in the US. And I made another American friend (oh, shux, didn't get her name x.x) while on the plane to San Fo. She is working in the Philippines and has been there for roughly 18 months, leaving her children behind in the States so she was pretty excited to be back. Wow, they are friendly people eh? Armand was right, they love small talk :P

We were then fetched by my mom's friend Pining. We will be staying with her at Daly City until my classes start on Tuesday. We had mashed potatoes, Popeye's fried chicken and sotanghon for dinner then everyone retired to bed, except for me. What I did? Straight to Facebook. HAHA! I had to let everyone know I made it safely here right?

After struggling with the internet connection for a few hours, I gave up and decided to just sleep to adjust my body clock; Though, I don't know how many hours I actually slept. x.x 4:00AM here, I was awake. 5:00AM, I decided to just take a shower. 6:00AM, I was finally able to fix the internet connection and at almost 7:00AM, I'm here blogging. :)

It's super nice to be talking to some friends too! Steph and Elie to name a few. And everyone who commented on my status on Facebook! KEEP IN TOUCH GUYS! AND I'M EXCITED FOR YOUR TRIPS TOO!!! :)

Plans for the day:
1. Visit my dorm (fingers crossed, I hope it will not be as bad as people say it is)
2. Campus tour (if Daniel will make it)
3. SHOPPING!!!

Let's do this!!!
