There's no point to this post. I just wanted to post one using Mountain View's free wifi from Google. The entire city of Mountain View gets it for FREE! The signal is weak but it's free internet!

Chriselle is babysitting a 7-year old boy named Leo here today. We picked him up from school, had dinner at In&Out, played crazy eights outside on their front lawn, and Chriselle is now reading him a story in bed.

Spent the morning playing GH. I have a long way to go before I master this game. It makes me want to get a PS3 just so I can practice on my own. My aunt has booked my flight from LV-NY. She had a bitch of a time dealing with Spirit Airlines' dumbass customer service agents. I'm all for cheap tickets but from reading my aunt's long email and several other complaints on the web, this will be the last time I will fly with them. I certainly hope they don't give me crap when I get to the airport on the day of my departure. I plan on checking in 3 hours early so they can't give me crap about being late for check-in.

My favorite article was this one wherein the company's CEO himself made a ridiculous booboo of forwarding a customer's email to his company as a memo including his very crude comments. If the owner himself has no class, then what can you expect of his employees?

Ugh.

In other news...

I miss this bebe

Finally had EFNY Pizza again after a year and a half.

Currently at the Redwood City Library while Chris works at the bookstore for the next two hours. There's this weird lady who sat beside me earlier. At first I thought she just couldn't find an empty table so I didn't mind. but when I stood up to transfer to a nearby outlet since the Mac was lowbatt, she stood up and sat beside someone else. Creepy...

I didn't get to play GH this morning since I spent a good chunk of my time roaming around the house trying to find a spot with the best signal from the neighbor's wi-fi. After a couple of hours, I discovered I get the best reception standing infront of the refrigerator. I stacked a small stool on top of a small side table and placed the Mac there since lowering it would disconnect the network. Chriselle came home from work, saw me, and laughed her ass off. Hooray for weirdness!

Man it's cold in the morning! And to think I'm not even SF! I bet it's worse out there! Yesterday, the second thing I did when I got here (the first thing was have blueberry pancakes :p) was PLAY GUITAR HERO!

Chriselle has GH 2 and 3 so we took turns playing. She had a late date the night before so I let her nap a bit while I read her copy of Calvin and Hobbes. Later in the afternoon we had homemade tacos for dinner then we went out for a walk around the neighborhood. Everything I need is walking distance from here so I should be fine. There's a Safeway, Barnes & Noble, Jamba Juice, the train and bus stations, and even their own branch of Escape from New York Pizza!!! I won't have to go out to the Haight to have one again! I'm so stoked! They don't have a mall nearby and they have but one clothes store and it just so happens to be OLD NAVY. We went into a video game store and Chriselle saw another GH Guitar for $40 so she bought it! We walked back home and played GH together. It was cool how we could play in different levels together (she, in hard, I was in easy). It also felt like we were alternately playing like in a real band which was awesome.

Chris and her dad are out to work so I have the apartment to myself. Will make myself something for brekkie in a bit then maybe play GH until I've mastered my hand-eye coordination.

Btw, they don't have w-fi here so I'm stealing from the neighbor again. They do have internet but I don't want to use their only ethernet cable since they use it too. I just have to angle the mac a certain way to get the best reception. If I'm on YM and I keep logging on and off or completely disappear, that's because I lost my signal. Chris is a volunteer for their local library and they have free wi-fi there so I'm going with her while she works and I can be properly online then.

Back up north (of California) after a year and a half. Staying with Chriselle in Redwood City. She and her dad are going out of their way to make me feel comfortable and at home. My flight here was okay. I half-feared I was going to be late. My flight was at 8am and by 7am, Jose had just got out of the room to take me to the airport. Thankfully, I made it on time and had time to chill before boarding. Since my mom works for an airline, I've been on a few flights and am able to tell the difference between a good take off and landing. Take off was not great since the plane accelerated and elevated too fast it was like being in a small rocket. Then as soon as it reached optimum elevation, the plane stopped rising so abruptly that it felt like the engine stopped running and the plane was going to drop. Kind of like that feeling when you're in a swing and you're going real high and you get that feeling in your chest just before you're about to swing back down. The hour went by fast with me watching three Friends episodes on my iPod. The highlight of the plane ride was during landing. I was thinking to myself how it wasn't a bad landing when the flight stewardess said OVER THE SPEAKER, "That was a ridiculous landing. What a show off!" A few passengers laughed and I wished other airlines had the same sense of humor.

I hope my trip here will be eventless. I mean it in a sense that I wish I won't run into any drama. I came here for one reason only, to get all my stuff back. I made arrangements so I won't have a reason to deal with he-who-must-not-be-named and I hope he won't give me any reasons to break my barrier of calm, cool, collectiveness.
