I AM BACK IN THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY! -THAT’S RIGHT! I’M BACK!

After an exhausting 16 hours flight, the jet lag was taking its toll on us. But we knew we had to fight it in order to tune our body clock to the new time-zone. After dumping our stuffs at our hostel, we headed straight out into the streets.

It was Seb’s first time here, so he was kinda excited (Just like me when I was here last year!). For me, I’m just happy that I’m back here again.

Fueled ourselves up at a local 7-11 store with some hot dogs. Down here, you order the size of the hot dog and the condiments are free-flow (reminds me of retro dog). Besides the usual stuffs that you can put in a hot dog bun (onions, pickles, jalapenos, salsa, ketchup, mustard), they have this cheese machine. Press the button and hot creamy yummy melted cheese oozes out onto your hot dog. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!

We headed to our first stop for the day, Moscone West, to get ourselves registered for the WWDC08 conference. Nothing much exciting happened here (yet), except for the event staff at the door whom melted our hearts. HAHAHA

After that we headed to the Civic Center of San Francisco. Bought some really nice cherries for US$3 on the way. There was this Philipino-American carnival just in front of City Hall, but apparently it’s paid entry. Since there’s nothing much going on, we decided to skip it.

Only one word can describe San Francisco’s City Hall - Majestic. We ending up taking tonnes of photo of it haha.

Last stop for the day was Hilton Hotel for a reception. Saw some old friends, people from my school and met a few new friends. Basically we are there more for the food, not much of the socializing (yeah, we are cheapskate people).

Tomorrow’s the first and most highly anticipated day of WWDC08 - Steve Job’s Keynote speech. Definitely going to be some new products. Oh, I heard some people are planning to queue from 4am just to ensure they have a seat in the main room. I guessed we’ll just settle for the overflow rooms.. we are dead tired now..
