Currently Kitty Takes a Holiday (Kitty Norville, Book 3) By Carrie Vaughn see related

I apologize for my very late update, guys. I have been really busy meeting deadlines for the past 2 weeks. There will be many pictures in the post. You have been warned.

Let's start with the dinner with my partners at California Pizza Kitchen a fortnight ago in conjunction with Petros's belated birthday and also as Lenny's farewell party. Lenny had been the store's assistant manager for less than a year. Recently, he was promoted to become a manager of another store, so this means he was leaving our store. He had already left for his new store last Friday. I'll let the pictures tell the rest.

Ben and Mark. Ben is currently Mark's boyfriend. He used to be a manager of a Starbucks store near ours, but he decided to quit. Now both of them will get to spend more time with each other.

My Raspberry Iced Tea next to my Starbucks Vanilla Creme. Nice shot, eh?

A blurry picture of Anna. It was a candid shot since she refused to let me take a picture of her.

I'm still waiting for the group pictures from the other partners' camera.

As I was walking along Powell Street one day, I spotted this:

It was a protest march and guess what it was about? Education!  These people were continuing the march that I did to Sacramento a month ago! Yeah! Go education!

I managed to spend some time with my sister and Greg last weekend for dinner and dessert. I had not seen my sister for 2 months even though we worked in the same city! I guess maybe it is because her office has been moved to Portrero Hill, which is way too far from where I work.

After dinner at Bangkok BBQ Thai Noodles, we decided to grab some dessert at the Cheesecake Factory. We doubt that there would be a table available at all for us since it was a Saturday night, but it was worth a try.

The place was too crowded as we had predicted, but the view from the balcony outside was superb.

In the end, we went to the lower level of Macy's for Ben and Jerry's ice cream instead. Their ice cream was delicious.  I enjoyed hanging out with my sis and Greg that evening. It was really nice to see them again.

As I had said before, I had many deadlines to meet for the past couple of weeks. And one of those was filing for tax returns. I did not get my W-2 form til the very last minute, so it was a race against time.

Enjoying a cup of Vanilla Rooibos Tea Latte at Greg's store, while going through the tax forms. And yes, that's my cellphone, by the way.

I was so relieved by Wednesday afternoon because I was done with all the deadlines, including my English essay. Since my deadlines were met and the weather for this weekend was predicted to be very warm, I treated myself by going to the Cherry Blosson Festival at Japantown.

Food stalls, accessories stalls, and what not...

I got myself a plate of Yakisoba

There were a few girls like her who wore yukatas

I'm not sure if those are cherry blossoms, but they're pink and pretty though.

Buchanan street had suddenly turned to Osaka Way at Japantown

Hello, Shiseido! It's been awhile since we last met.

I was bored while waiting for the bus to take me back to downtown, so I took some piccies.

Once I was back at Downtown, I went to the Metreon to watch Fast and Furious since the dance party was cancelled.

I watched all 4 sequels of The Fast and the Furious, and I must say, the fourth one is awesome!! I'm just upset that one of the lead characters died. T_T I'm not gonna reveal who it is though ,as to not spoil the movie. I so love Vin Diesel as Dominic and Paul Walker as Brian.  The movie was mainly about revenge for the deceased character. I love the racing part and the cars going on top speed to get away from the enemies. I like movies that involves street racing. I enjoy playing racing games too. But I don't even know how to freaking drive in real life. =.="

That's all for now.

Drifting off to dreamland,

P.S. The title is a quote from the movie.
