BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!

So it was Labor Day here during my birthday. You know what that means, LONG WEEKEND! haha! So here are the things I did during that time:

FRIDAY NIGHT:
Stayed up late to cook Pinoy-style spaghetti with potato mojo's and garlic mayo. I figured this will be my blow-out to my roommates too.

SATURDAY:
Shaun's coming here! But he texted me that his bus broke down somewhere so he arrived later than expected. When he got here, I gave him some food, which I hoped he liked x.x then we checked him in in his hotel. After that, he bought us Mexican food for dinner. Burritos here are AWE-SOME!!! They are big and juicy and saucy and yummy! I promise to post a picture if I eat one again. Then I went back to the dorm. That's it for day 1! :)

SUNDAY:
Went to Stanford with Shaun and Daniel. We also got Boston (that's the name of the car, HAHA), Shaun's rented BMW which the boys were so excited about. But the funny thing was 1. we didn't know how to stop the engine, 2. we didn't know how to open the valve for the gas and 3. we didn't know how to lock the car as soon as we got off it. HAHAHA! I was just laughing so hard when we were just sitting there at the gas station trying to figure out how to get gas in! :)) Daniel was going around the car, looking for a switch or a knob or something and Shaun was reading through the manual and I was just laughing. And the solution? Just push the flap (or I don't know what it was called) of the gas tank and it will automatically open. Great. =))

So off we were! I was the navigator-ish, holding the GPS device and telling them where and when to turn. But somehow, they still don't trust me :| I'M RELIABLE NAMAN EH! ASK MY JTA-MATES! DIBADIBA??? tss.. Anyway, when we finally arrived there, first thing we did was to eat. We went around looking for a proper lunch but it seemed that they only served snacks like burgers and hotdogs whereas I wanted rice or something. So we ended up just eating at CPK. We shared pizza and pasta and Daniel got soup and a sandwich. After eating, we walked around some more and the guys got to talking on how they pity each other or whoever was with me because they had to put up with my FUNNY AWESOME AND AMAZING jokes. :| tss... After walking and talking and bonding, we ate at Pinkberry, a frozen yogurt store where Shaun works at LA then we walked around some more until we went home.

After resting for a while, Shaun and I went to dinner to a seafood restaurant. I love fish and seafood! It's so sad to see only a few places serving and selling them :( Anyway, dinner was great! It's the yummiest thing I've had since I've been here :) After eating, we tried to walk around a park nearby but it was too cold and I think the park was closed so we just decided to head back home.

MONDAY:
EARLY in the morning, Shaun greeted me and gave me his present, which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!! And he didn't stop there. He then pulled out this tupperware and showed me that he also baked me 21 sugar cookies spelling out "HAPPY BIRTHDAY FIONA ONG" which looked something like this:



and ended up with him asking me to be his girlfriend with this:


with both our names and birthstones

He was already making it the best birthday ever! :) THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! >:D< hihi :)
So after that spectacle, we had breakfast at a quaint French Cafe called La Boulange then went off to Fisherman's Wharf for the afternoon.

We went to the Ripley's museum and the mirror maze (which was fun and scary at the same time x.x) here's what it looked like:
with 3D glasses @.@

then ate at the Boudin Bistro for lunch. After that, we walked around Pier 39, browsed through shops, took lotsa pictures, then went back to the dorm. We then waited outside for my tita Pining to show up and when they finally did, they had a balloon and brought lots of Filipino food for our mini "handaan". And yes, they even brought beer for me. Haha! After eating once again, we ate an oreo cookies and cream ice cream cake from my parents (which was divine!!!)


Then we cleaned up before they all went back home. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WAS THERE WITH ME! 


Though it was my first birthday to be away from my family, everyone made it equally memorable and happy. :)
