Happiness

Happiness. That little word is what milion and milion of people look for. That little word. Is there a way to be happy?! Is there only one way to be happy?!
I think happiness depends on a lot from person to person. Each one of us has a story of live and even though you find people who went through the same situation you aren't the same, believe me. Even though every child go to school every day at the same time, wearing the same clothes, they will feel different feelings. That's because anyone is the same, we can be similar, but not the same. 
That's why I think to reach and feel happy is different for every single person! Depends a lot on how we see the world, too. I mean, if you like helping people, you'll be so happy doing that. But I am not talking about this happy. No, I'm talking about the feeling you have everyday when you open your window in the morning. I'm talking about what you feel when you pick your child up at school and they tell you what they did all day. I'm talking about what you feel when you first made dinner! All those situations like watching the sunset, listening to your favourite song, planning your travel, studying to reach what you want... All these situation and a lot more like those, make me feel only one thing. It makes me feel happy! These little things we do probably everyday, yeah, they might be so boring sometimes, but I gotta admit they make me feel happy! 

Have you found your happiness today?!

Unforgettable

Sometimes people try to present their loved ones, hoping they'll be remembered forever. People think that they deserve to have good memories and to be presented. However, the best and hugest present you can ever give to anyone is you presence when they need someone to lean on! If you are this person in someone's life, you'll unforgettable for her! Even more than that fancy gifts, or anything. Your presence is the best thing you can give someone.

After this, watch the video below! I wish I had put a glee version, but that video just was to small to be played :(

Love!

Few days ago I had the idea to publish some quotes and proverbs about love. Here it is!

"Love conquers all things." 

Virgil

"Love is blind."

English proverb

"Marry in haste. Repent at leisure."

English proverb

"When a girl marries, she exchanges the attention of many men for the inattention of one."

Helen Rowland, American writer

"Marriage is like a dull meal with the dessert at the beginning."

Henri, Comte de Toulouse-Lautrec

Sun Clock!

Do you know what is a Sun Clock? Do you know how it works? Do you even know that there is a sun clock in San Francisco? Read the text below and find out the answers to these questions.

Sun Clocks are clocks that use the movement of the Sun to mark time. They are also called sundial clocks. The Sun casts a shadow on the triangular pointer called gnomon. There are numbers all the way around the circle and based on where the shadow is you can know what time it is! That is the way that people used to know the time hundreds of years ago.
One of the disadvantange is in the winter time, on cloudy/rainy days and at night you cannot know the time by this kind of clock. Another negative point is that you can only know the hour of the day, not the minutes.

Well, the fact is that there is one sun clock in San Francisco! It is in the Golden Gate Park, in front of the de Young Museum! It is near the places to leave the bikes!

Hope you can find it and learn a little bit of this old invention!

Sunrise!

Do you remember last time I was in SF I watched the sunset on my last days?

 

If you don't, here are the pics. So, this time I decided to watch the sunrise!

 

How did I have this idea? On my last days in SF last time I thought "what are some things that I haven't done yet and I have to do before leaving?" Watch the sunrise and the sunset came up in my mind. Last time I had planned on watching the sunrise too, but it turned out and I only watched the sunset. Which was magnificent!

 

So, this time I did watch the sunrise! It was an unique experience because I had to wake up really early, take more jackets than what I usually wear, take the muni, find the best spot to take pics and wait to see the beautiful natural phenomenon that happens every day! I had never seen the sunrise before!

 

The bridge that you see in the photos is the Bay Bridge. However the bridge in the photos of the sunset is the Golden Gate Bridge!

 

Have you ever watched the sunset? What about the sunrise?

Japanese Restaurant!

 

 

Hey! Who doesn't like japanese food?

I love it! Last week I was wandering in Japantown and I ate in an excellent restaurant! It is called Isobune and it is on the West side of japantown. I think this place is excellent because everything is simple in it. You don't even need to read the menu to order, because when you get in, you take a sit and there will be small boats floating in front of you carrying plates with pieces of food. That is it, basically. There will be many boats floating and you just have to take whatever you want. You will not take the whole boat, because that is imossbile. You will only take the plates with what you want to eat. Besides, they have about six colors of plates and every single color is a price. In the end of the meal, you will pay the price of every plate you ate. Sounds smart, doesn't it?

I usually eat about four or five plates, which is a good amount. The cheapest plate is $1.95 and in every plate you get about 2 or 3 pieces of japanese food! Not to mention that they have seasonal opition!

What? Japanese Restaurant Isobune
Where? West side of Japantown, San Francisco
Hours: 11:30am to 9:30pm 7 days a week.

Hope you like the food as much as I did!

Botanical Garden!

Hey!

Few weeks ago I went to the San Francisco Botanical Garden! I had never been there before and I had the impression that it must be much more beautiful and colorful in the fall. Despite the fact that it's winter and every living thing is kind of sad and less beautiful I liked the Botanical Garden very much. I think it's a very relaxing place, where you can easily spend a couple of hours, take a lot of pictures and like so on. I noticed that they have specific plants of specific areas in Africa or Asia, for example.

Anyway, I liked so much the time that I spent there and I would definitely come back in the spring and summer! The most beautiful pics I took on that day

Ah! One more thing: there are few little paths that you can walk and kind of end in the same place that you started. Which I think is interesting.

Like the pics? Ever been to SF Botanical Garden?

Dolce Amore!

Dolce Amore is a place in San Francisco to eat gelato, chocolates, cakes and to drink coffee, tea ans smoothies! They have cute pieces of chocolate! There are about 20 tipes of chocolates and each one of them has a different color and taste. They have raspberry, almond, dark chocolate, white chocolate and many other flavors.

There is also gelato! Unfortunately, I have never tried any of their flavors of gelato. However I want to do so. Some of the flavors are white chocolate chip macadamia nut, crème brule, apple rum raisin, profiterole and like so on. Sounds delicious, doesn't it?

They serve breakfast and lunch too! For breakfast they have things like scrambled eggs with roasted tomatoes served on toasted wheat bread, oatmeal with bananas, blueberries, dried cranberries, honey and ground cinnamon. For lunch they have options like chicken pot pie served with fresh spring mix salad and vinaigrette, and like so on.

Very interesting, huh?
