After checking in our hotel, we drove through the Golden Gate Bridge. We all agreed that we'll just take photos with it the next day 'cause my girl friend and I have prepared a similar blouse for our OOTD. :))

We found Pier 39 through our google maps.

I will have a separate post about out Pier 39 Boat ride so refer to that.

When the boat ride ended, we decided to take another look at Pier 39 while also looking for something affordable to eat.

Souvenirs can be bought in this area. Huhu. Posting this blog about my USA trip kinda makes me want to do it one more time next year. This lifetime I want to spend travelling and seeing placesssss. Huhuhu. I wish it's possible for me to lead a life like that.

Those birds again and the carousel that Jadine rode when they were in San Francisco. hahaha!

Kissing you goodbye. <3

Wishing I'll have more adventures like this. Hey, never did I thought that I'll be able to go to these places naman. The best is yet to come, diba?

That's Oakland bridge at my back.
Days after we left there was an LGBT pride parade that took place here in San Francisco.

Hills of bay area at my back.

Byeee! Hope to see you again soon. <3

Sana kahit saan, carpe diem pa rin. May we always seize our days. Huhu

If you've been in this blog before, you would know that Korean is one of my favorite cuisines. But then, introducing it to people was never easy. Well, I kinda agree though 'cause it's also an acquired taste in my case... an acquired taste that I always crave for ever since. Haha!

So if you're like me who have been having troubles introducing Korean cuisine to your friends, then I suggest you take them to Little Wondang - 'cause aside from the regular finds at a Korean Restaurant, there are food items that are familiar to the Filipino palate here.

So there's a new food park in Xavierville, Katipunan called The Yard. I'm pretty sure you've heard about this somehow 'cause I always see it on Facebook since there are a lot of interesting food finds there and most are instagrammable at that.

Anyway, in that food park there's this Korean Cuisine stall called Little Wondang. I was so happy when I saw the choices especially 'cause they made their bibimbap a fusion of Filipino and Korean Cuisine.

Ordering longbimbap, tocbimbap or tapabimbap feels like a good start if you want to introduce Korean cuisine to your friends, or yourself perhaps if you haven't tried.

This cutie kid did a great job in introducing their products to me. Hello there! I enjoyed your food a lot! :)

Pricelist of Little Wondang

Here's their classic bibimbap.

Aside from the flavor, I like it that they didn't scrimp on the vegetables and meat. For 145.00, this one's worth it!

And if rice meals aren't enough for you, Little Wondang also have beef and pork slices for your samgyeopsal cravings. And yes, you can ask them to cook the meat for you or you can ask for a portable stove and grill your meat while catching up with your dear friends.

After this tunnel was our first look of the Golden Gate Bridge. <3

OMG!!!!!!! GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE!!! Charu!!! pero di nagsi-sink in na nakarating na ko dyan. haha

Las Vegas is still my first choice, of course but if I were given the chance to choose where I want to live in the USA. I'll choose San Francisco. It's expensive there but it's a very beautiful place. <3 And it's called "Fog City" so... :) Medyo kahinayang actually na hindi ma-fog nung andun kame. Fogs are usually occurrent during summer. Nakita ko sa Instagram e. Mount Tamalpais!!! Huhubells.

Since Zion National Park, I loved passing through the tunnels because of the beauty of seeing what's on the opposite end.

After walking around Downtown, Reno we drove to Outlets at Legends in hopes of finding cheaper rubber shoes and all 'cause we were told that there was a big markdown sale days before we arrived. But it wasn't sale anymore so the prices of the shoes (Nike's to be exact) were similar to the prices in the outlets of Las Vegas and Primm. I was able to buy a bottle of Bath and Body Works body mist there though - the blue cotton that I've been looking for.

Cloud Steets?

Can anyone tell me the name of this cloud formation.

Buti pa dito, may sparks!! hahaha.

Sparks, Nevada

Like the Outlet Stores in Vegas.

Most of the stores are also the same.

Then we went back to Reno to drop our friend and eat before driving to San Francsico.

More wall murals.

We ate at this packed Vietnamese Restaurant which name I forgot.

The food and bus fare are two to three dollars cheaper here than in Las Vegas.

KNOW WHEN TO STOP!!!

HAHAHA I've gotten over with the gambling problems. Iba pag sa casino natambay eh. Di maiwasan. haha!

Off we go to San Francisco! <3

As much as I want to stay awake to look at the view, huhuhu, I still fell asleep most of the time.

64 miles to Sacramento.

115 miles away from the last stop of our Jadine Roas Trip!!

THIS IS IT. AMOY NA AMOY KO NA SAN FRANCISCO!! PERO MAS AMOY NA AMOY KO NA PILIPINAS!!!! HAHAHAHA!!! Such a bitter sweet day for us. :)))

Also known as "The Biggest Little City in the World"

We passed by Reno after our Lake Tahoe trip and before San Francisco. We heard that it's similar to "our" Las Vegas Strip because casino hotels also abound the area so we decided to take a look. We messaged a friend who lives there so we had someone to walk us around.

Push ko 'to. hahaha!

There are a lot of wall murals in Reno just like the one at my back.

Unlike Las Vegas, it snows in Reno during the winter season and it's cold and windy there all year round. It's a more chill place compared to Vegas.

You can actually feel that you're in a province compared to Vegas which is usually more crowded... and wild. hahahaha

Ducks at the Truckee River, the only river outlet of Lake Tahoe which drains to Pyramid Lake in Grand Basin National Park.

Washoe County Courthouse

Intense!!

Wall climbing. <3 HAHAHA. Hindi ko keri ganyan kataas. :))

Downtown Reno's version of Las Vegas Strip. Unlike Vegas Strip though that until the end of my stay I wasn't able to go around all the hotels, we were able to go around the entire area in just one afternoon.

Better view of the clear Truckee River. Sana ganito rin mga river sa'tin, noh?

By the way, Reno is also called the River Walk District.

Miss ko na 'yung buhok kong mukhang na -dryer kahit na hindi. Bad hair day everyday na naman.

PIGILAN NIYO KO! PIGILAN NIYO KO!!

Downtown Reno is a quiet place and a very walkable. I can spend an entire afternoon walking and relaxing here, iba eh. It felt like Baguio to me - only a lot better.

pero hindi ka naman dumating... </3
