Whew! when I woke up after my first night here in San Jose, I feel better as I anticipated. Although I woke up several times during my sleep, I did not feel any nausea and headache. :) That means I am ok and ready for adventure! :) Thank God, I was able to take heed of what I read in the PAL airline brochure and tips that we usually see on the pockets in front of our seat... "If you are expected to arrive in the evening, if possible, do not sleep during the whole flight." And that is what I did! That explains the movie and the Heroes series marathon although during the wee hours of our time (GMT +8) I could hardly hold my eyes any longer so I dozed off for an hour or two! Hehehe...
The plan of calling Ajnin did not push through. I was thinking, anyway, Edward and I will be spending the night next weekend at his home in preparation for our Yosemite trip. :) I decided to spend my whole Saturday with my relatives in Mackin Woods. I called my Kuya Yongie and he picked me up at my hotel and went to Tito Nick and Tita Sonia's home! :) I really had a quality time with them! It was exactly 8 years ago when I first came to their home. I recalled it was still in August, 2000 when I first got here. I feel so blessed that everytime I come here in the US, it is always summer time! :)
Kuya Yong's brothers, Kuya Boboy and Kuya Tictoc were also with us during my visit and we had done a lot of catching up talking together for everything under the sun, (Calape, Cebu, US politics, families, Olympics, etc). I was also had some quality time with their overweight pet, Bingo who is a very cool dog! He made me even feel more at home as he got along well with me. While watching the Olympics, he lay down on my lap. At that time, I remembered Chino and missed him alot. :) He also followed me around the house and in the backyard when I fed my photoshoot appetite. Bingo, as they told me, is really their baby in the house. hehehe.
At about past 10pm, since Kuya Yong and I did not bring our personal stuffs, we needed to go home. We passed through the 24-hour grocery store and bought some beers and chow as we were also excited to watch the Olympic's championship basketball game between Spain and USA. The game was really a blast with lots of thrills and it was really a high scoring, very physical game! :) Spain played so well and much better as compared to their first game versus the US. However, their best was not good enough because my new basketball idol, Dwyane Wade who was really instrumental in taking back the Olympic Gold for the USA since it was taken from them 8 years ago.
Afterwards, I was so happy to see my whole family having a great time with cousins back home. I really miss home. Anyway, the thought of just waiting for a little less than three weeks to go, definitely keeps me alive. :D
