And it's preventing me from writing my paper, due tomorrow.
Write, write, write. Anything to get the words flowing. Anything.

First Annual Good Food Awards Marketplace in San Francisco
0 comments Posted by nanabuuui at 11:00 PMInstead of studying, I was aimlessly browsing the web and stumbled across this: Good Food Awards :D
Something about street food with free samples called out to me. I asked the bf if we could go. He was super excited, too! :D
The criteria is that the food must be responsibly produced, supporting sustainability and social good. There were seven categories:
- beer
- charcuterie
- cheese
- chocolate
- coffee
- pickles and preserves
We got to try everythinggg!! There was no beer, though. Boo :[
The event started at 8 AM and ended at 2 PM. We got there around 9:30 AM because I couldn't wake up early enough.. (sorry bf!!)

| coffee love! :] |
 |
| fresh coffee beans! |
 |
| "whyy sooo serious?!" |
After a few hours of browsing around, trying out the samples, and purchasing our favorites to bring home, we walked to Chinatown and Little Italy to explore. The walk was nice :] we found some interesting buildings and passed a variety of shops. I definitely prefer the feel of SF's Chinatown to New York's. It's less dirty. There were a good amount of people at the markets. I know it's Chinatown, but it made me think of the markets in Vietnam. And I miss the scents, noise, and feel of the early morning markets :[
We got some keychains and toys, like the Scarecrow and Joker one there :D
Somewhere around Little Italy, we spotted four hookers o__O IN DAYLIGHT!!! They were just hanging out in an alley by a bunch of strip clubs. HRM.

| I liked the turtle bread and crab bread from this display. TOO CUUUTE!! There was also a pet shop WITH THE CUTEST PUPPIES, EVERR! Makes a girl want a dog even more :[ Must wait for my future corgi. SIGH. |
 |
| We spotted a huge line in front of Golden Gate Bakery. We had no idea why, so I convinced the bf that we should get in line to find out :] The line moved relatively fast, and we got some scrumptious egg tarts, pork pastries, and sesame balls. |

It's been a while since I have taken the bus. With my notebook dead for a majority of the day, along with my dead cell phone, I was temporarily liberated from the rest of the technologically advanced world. Yes, I was liberated. And the feeling was great.
I noticed the fellow bus patrons were connected to their MP3 players and cell phones, incessantly clicking away on their pads, etc. I admit my guilt in doing the same, especially when bored. But the action still
puzzles me.
The existence of these devices are to serve as helpful tools. But these tools often pull individuals away from the physical world, only to replace them in an unnatural space.
I enjoyed my freedom today, with the dead notebook and phone. I promise to make a better effort to live in the physical world :]

It's as rare as finding your lucky penny on the street. You know, the lucky penny that's face up and has your birth year on it? The one that shimmers to you beneath the dust and stands out among the grass, foliage, and gravel, beckoning to you to pick it up.
(I *think* that's how the story goes. Excuse the errors if there are any. I can't remember if it's face up or face down. The latter would bring you bad luck, so you avoid those. HRM. Darnit. Childhood story books from reading time in class. Gahh, my darned memory!!)
My point is that this is rare, but it sometimes happens! (like the little boy in the storyy!! xD AHAHAHA damn him -__-)
Dad and I had a long conversation/bonding time on the car ride home from Stockton last night. We used to spend our weekends at Barnes and Nobles together, but as I got older, the trips became less frequent. It was nice to have the chat. Reminiscent of a pep talk, though it followed the guidelines of "this is going to be inspirational but will also make you think. I am your father and I think this is best for you" etc. !!
And he made me cry... tear up, oh gawd, I hope he didn't notice. Strong girls don't cry like wussies!! T__T or tear up. THEY ARE IMMUNE TO EMOTION! RAAAAWR!! O__O

January:
Did you have a new year’s resolution this year?
I had many. Kept some, and failed to live up to some. It's always going to be a process of self-improvement.
