visitors from the northwest

last nite, paul's friends from intel arrived from their drive from portland. joel, jasmin and baby neema are our house guests while rod, janet, and their two adorable girls are staying with relatives. but they all had dinner here at home last nite along with jay (also from portland) and gracious. we were watching the pacquiao fight on pay per view and like comcast has done in the past, the picture disappears as soon as the main event starts. we wait for half an hour for the picture to come back on while i tried to get in touch with someone from comcast, of course, there's nobody there to pick up the phone. i remembered to order the fight on a different tv set and we saw the rest of the match. i'll deal with comcast tomorrow at work and give them an earful.

anyway, back to our guests...i spent the day yesterday preparing the food and tidying up the house a little bit before the guests arrive. i was tired by the end of the day but glad that they decided to spend part of their week-long vacation here in san francisco. i'm working until noon tomorrow and then i'll take them sight seeing after work. after san francisco, they're heading to l.a. then las vegas, and then maybe they'll head back here, maybe spend the night, on their way back to portland.

bought a cute outfit for neema, too. she's paul's god daughter (and ofcourse, mine too) so i got her a little something (from ninong paul and ninang mimie). in a few months, we'll have our own little baby, too. =)

paul's going to book his flight for august 4. we pray, all goes smoothly and he gets his visa by then. =)
