Sunday
I spent a great Sunday afternoon with Joey, my super duper BFF, who’s visiting from the Philippines. So what’s great about that Sunday with her? It was the simplest things really.
The train ride
House of Nanking lives up to its name.
My family and I picked her up from her in-laws where she and her hubby were staying. The moment we pulled in front of the house, she yanked me out of the car and pulled me to meet her mother-in-law. When we got out of the house, we just faced each other, shrieked and hugged each other tight, happy to see each other and excited to have been given a whole day to hang out. We took the train to bring us to San Francisco and basically spent all day alternating between talking,giggling, taking pictures and riding the tram up and down the San Francisco streets. When we were in Union Square and passed by Victoria’s Secret, we debated whether we’d go in and have our bra size measured. Shy that she was, we decided to walk on by.
It was the non-stop talking and laughing that I missed most about her. Sure we talk to each other almost every month by phone and we email two or three times a week, but it’s different when you actually spend time with someone face to face. The internet is a wonderful thing in keeping in touch with the people you love. But nothing beats the chance to spend the day and explore the world hand in hand.
PS. Shoutout to my other BFF, Lana, I miss you! Looking forward to visiting you or you coming over for some serious bonding time.

I’m proud of your wonderful circle of BFF’s. I also have mine here, and these girls just really spice up my life. I want you to know that even though we are on opposite sides of the globe, I still hold you so fondly in my heart…and it is also one of my wishes to be able to visit you there someday. Or when you come home next year, let’s have a blast. Miss ya lots and lots
