Once Upon a Time in Stow Lake

This is the little boat house at Stow Lake in the Golden Gate Park. Boat rentals are 14$ per hour.

Thirsty tree reaching over the lake to lick the water.

Lonely boats

 The rescue boat.

 This is my childhood best friend Hong An :)

Pretty primitive looking flowers.

Entering the dark side...

If you look carefully you can find the fresh water turtles.

 I have a weird obsession over mosses...

Swaying in the cool SF breeze

Berries errywhere.

SF hippies touching the boat house's guard dog.

The boat house's guard dog Ziggy. Sho cute.

The boat house rescue "team" for those idiots who accidently dropped the oars into the lake. Or for those who flip their boats and drown in the 3 feet deep water.

 Aw she's so happy to spend time with me :)

 We were stuck for a little bit.

Our boat.

 Hilly streets of SF

 The cute Aus. Shepard.

Berkeley

I knew I wouldn't make my BFF's graduation, so I made a trip to Berkeley during the Mother's Day weekend to see her before she officially leaves Cal. First stop, we went to my all time favorite Indian restaurant, "House of Curry" near campus.

This place generously provides customers with free freshly brewed chai tea. Cheers!

This is my BFF Tuyen who has now graduated from Cal with a B.A. in Public Health, and minor in Global Poverty & Practice. She is going to save the world! :)

Being girly with my best buddies while waiting for food. I am the queen of chipped nail polish. I still have the ugly China Glaze yellow on my nails as I type..

Garlic naan!!!

My latest obsession is Basmati rice. This one has saffron in it. The ever-so-adorable Anna with her famous dimples. :)

So stylish! Rocking Jeffrey Campbell and  Prrrada... She was my cute photo assistant while I took graduation pictures for Tuyen...

 Congrats Tuyen! I am so proud of you!

Before leaving, we cooled off with the fresh iced mojito coffee @ Philz
