Wilderness rants I'm still currently on vacation to Palo Alto, CA, USA. That's about 1 hour south of San Francisco. At my uncle's place

It's been a little over a week since I got here but man I have done alot!
Biking
Hiking (multiple times)
Road Trips!!!
Needless to say my body is aching and screaming bloody murder.

Two major trips that I took were one road trip from San Fransisco to LA. Visited Monterey, Big Sur, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Malibu, Universal Studios, Hollywood pheww... Although the entire time my bf kept on going abt how he hates the L.A. traffic.

Big Sur was really fantastic. Sprawling mountains besides the ocean. Very dramatic scene that I will definitely miss.

Another trip was to Yosemite National Park. Spectacular views! Breathtaking panoramic experience. I'm not much of a gushy person who stares at every single mountain view or beautiful flowers. But omg how can one not feel awed by the Yosemite majestic splendor. The clifs, canyons, giant trees, inviting rivers.... Heaven I tell you!!!

True, my bf had to litterally drag or push me up the slopes (I guess It's really time for me to start doing something about my flabby fats) but I'm sure glad I took those painful steps. I think I'm fitter now... yes, I must be!

Some stupid things that happen typically of me.... I forgot my sport shoes and ended up having to buy a brand new Asics running shoes on the way. Brought my camera but forgot the battery :S:S:S... will need to get pictures from everyone else. And I lost my wallet!!! Argghhhhhh...... Good thing I am starting work next month, so at least not as long till my pay day.

For my birthday, I had a surprise party... really sweet... thanks everyone. And I got a brand new mini ipod. Green! I was really taken aback cause I think that's too expensive. But appareantly my bf bought that for me cause he knew I was saving for it AND so that I could use the monies I saved to buy a new bike and join a bike club. Is that a hint? I believe so... heheheeh... Guess he was exhausted from all the pushing and dragging after all.

Unfinished Business:
There are still lots of tiny details here and there that I will need to recall and write down. And I'll need to get those pictures.

Oh right, just so that everyone knows... Yess I think San Francisco is better than L.A. A city that takes only max 10 minutes to go anywhere is my kind of city :P. Hurray for Singapore!  ¶ 10:26 AM
