O Christmas Tree..O Christmas Tree!

Because it's my first time to visit the US...siempre hindi mawawala ang picture taking.hehehe! Pang-friendster kung baga... kaya since it's "the most wonderful time of the year" hindi nakaligtas sakin ang mga christmas trees. I had a picture with every christmas tree I've see in San Francisco and San Jose.

My 1st stop...sa hotel of course.

I'm alone and trip ko magpap-picture..kaya timer lang yan.hehe!

@ the famous Pier 39, San Francisco

here's another one...

@ Santana Row, San Jose

In front of San Francisco City Hall

@ the Union Square, San Francisco

ummm..I forgot what it's name...basta sa SF din 'to.

I even thought I would experience a white christmas...ngeh! Wala palang snow sa California.hehehe!

MeEt mY ReLaTiVeS in SJ

Aside from seeing a lot of nice places in California, feeling the cool winter breeze and christmas shopping, I was able to meet some of my relatives for the first time. Oh my, I was surprised there's so many of them!

I met my Lola Lourdes' whole family. Lola Lourdes is my tatay's sister who went to the US even before I was born so I was not able to meet them.

All I have a piece of paper where their address was written. Phrecee (A filipina working in Hitachi SJ) programmed her car GPS to 344 Valley Vista Drive, San Jose, CA. Cool huh? Never seen like this is Pinas.hehehe!When we arrived at Valley Vista Drive, the house number starts at 3440...u-oh! I got a wrong address. All houses on that street has 4-digit numbers.tsk! tsk! tsk! I dunno what got into our minds but we just thought of knocking on 3444...and bingo! that was the exact house that we are looking for. This was the start of my exciting US vacation....hehehe!
