Run for the Border

Last weekend was Bmod's annual Winter Retreat...unfortunately for me, I was sick so I was not able to join in the snowboarding, alcohol, and other shinigans that goes down at Winter Retreat. Instead I stayed home most of the weekend. It seems I was sick the whole month of Feb. Happy bday month to me indeed. I had two cases of the flu, a cold the rest of the time and a cough that didn't seem to want to go away. Yay! So instead of being out and about, I was inside and bored. But I was productive. I finally finished cleaning and rearranging my room. The turntables are set up(let's see if I actually start messing with them now)and I can walk around again without having to find places to step. However, spending Friday night and all of Saturday at home, was too much for me. So when Marco invited me to go on an SD run with Bert and Maja to get some Chamorro food, it was hard to resist. Armed with my roommate's Canon G10, we were off. (Side note: I think I've been bitten by the photography bug. Must invest in a nice camera).

It was a beautiful day for a drive. Most of the trip was spent listening to old school hip hop/r&b jams or listening to Maja and Marco play the "license plate game"



or making fun of the Bert because of the rainbow that followed him everywhere:



"you know how i know Bert is gay?"

Our first stop was, of course, Islander Grill to get some good ol' Chamorro food:





I get my usual: Combo#2 with BBQ Pork Ribs, Chicken Keleguen, and some Red Rice



After we were all done and satisfied from our meals, we decided to pay our friends at 5&A Dime a little visit. Before we left, Bert decided to leave his calling card:



who knows, maybe he'll get some gigs down there and we'll have more reason to come back and get some Chamorro food(San Diego is the only place in So. Cal to get Chamorro food unless you cook it yourself)

We headed to downtown San Diego and 5&A Dime:

















Chopped it up with the Gian of 5&A Dime. Seems like everyone is feeling the effects of the dipping economy. Sad times.

Said our "byes" to Gian and SD and set off for our trip home with a quick stop at Yogurtland. "Stay Classy San Diego..."
