SF Giants won the NL West Division!

Beyond ecstatic.

We've been screaming and jumping!

"Take me out to the ball game"

America's national past-time --- Baseball.

A few weeks ago, I've become an official fan.

I'm in high spirits when my team (SF Giants) wins

and I'm dismayed when they lose.

I like it; I usually don't watch sports on TV

(i prefer to watch sports live).

It helps also that the SF Giants are winning most of their games

---they are in the pennant race.

In the spirit of the game...

Chicago style hotdog

(toppings: jalapeno, tomatoes, onions, mustard, pickles, and ketchup---

of course, everything is organic and sustainably raised).

and Becks.

and Chili Dog

(toppings: vegan chili, jalapeno, and cheese)

Game on!

Hapa Ramen @ Fort Mason, SF

I was able to fin'ly go and check out Off The Grid (street food carts coming together) last Friday.

Yes, it is what it is in the photo --- cold and windy, such a drag! But that did not deter me from going and enjoying the scene and the food =). They have live music, drinks, and great foods =).

They have different vendors every Friday. But my sole reason for going was to taste Hapa Ramen bowl of noodles.

I got the Slow Cooked Pork Ramen Bowl.

They do offer vegetarian ramen noodle, the Miso Market Bowl.

The greens (chard and green beans) were perfectly cooked.

The egg was slow-cooked and super delicious!

The braised pork was tender, juicy and flavorful.

But... the only component that was a letdown was the salty broth =/ Yups, it was a tad salty (even for can't-help-salt crazy like me), otherwise, everything was great. Barely tasted the "flavor between delicate-sweet-dashi and rich-fatty-porky." (haparamensf.com) Must have been bad timing.

I will give them another try...

Now & Zen Fest @ Alice 97.3

Last weekend, Toni invited me to go with her to this festival called Now & Zen Fest in Golden Gate Park. Since it was free admission, I thought why not. So off I went and here are the photos.

It was a gorgeous day. The sun was out and Colbie Caillat, Train, Howie Day and Dashboard Confessional serenaded us while hanging out and eating delish food.

I was just all about chillin' (even for just a few hours).

Howie Day (no comment)

This is Colbie Caillat. And her acoustic guitar player/band mate. Toni and I were gushing over him *blush* - Lol! Oh what a Cutie!

From L-R: Toni, Charm and Moi.

Train. They're from the Bay. I like how the lead singer, Pat Monahan interacted with the crowd. He was cool. On the contrary, his bandmates don't think so (according to my Insider)

PS: My apologies. There are no photos of Dashboard Confessional b/c we got there a bit too late.

(for your enjoyment)

GBLT flag and the fog looming in.

Ahlo, gorgeous =)

Halloween is just around the corner, what/who are you going to be...

Now that we moved, whenever I take the train, I pass by the Bay and this bridge daily - one of the many reasons why I heart the City.
