Senengnya kalo punya anak demen banget makan. Josh tuh gampang banget sama makan, udah gitu suka banget sama sayur juga.
Trus ketauan juga kalo orangnya rajin...pengen ngikuut aja kalo mommynya beres2...jadi malah ribet deh...
Pas aku mau nge-vacuum aja, kalo nggak di bolehin malah jadi marah2...so yaa udah lah, aku biarin aja...yang ada lumayan sih ada yang mbantuin bersih2 rumah...cuma yaah jadi lamaaa aja.
Tapi nggak papa lah, yang penting anaknya rajin yaa nggak?

My birthday dinner @ Patio Filipino, San Bruno
Happy birthday to me! Harusnya sih mau dinnernya di Michael Mina, tapi berhubung keadaan ekonomi US lagi nggak yakin nih...ada issue2 resesi, jadi deh kita juga ikutan siap sedia...jaga2 gituh...
Jadi deh reservation yang aku udah bikin di Michael Mina-nya aku batalin, trus nggak jelas deh mau dinner dimana...tadinya sih mau ke French Rest. di deket rumah...and pas lagi otw mau ke rumah mertua, mau nitip Josh...eh tiba2 di jalan kita liat rest. Filipino, namanya Patio Filipino
Kita emang dari dulu kepengen nyobain sih...eh yaa udah deh, kenapa enggak sekarang aja...so batal deh ke French Rest. yang ada malah ke rest. Filipino...hihihiiiiii.....beda bener yaah....
Makanannya not bad...kita order seafood paella (nggak terlalu enak), trus oseng kangkung (tapi di campur pork...oh no!), trus Didi pesen lidah (katanya ini TOB banget deh)...and nge-dessertnya es halo halo...kayak es cendol gitu....
Begitulah my birthday dinner this time...very mellow...eh tapi aku dapet Ipod Nano yang purple loh dari hubby...pagi2 si Josh yang ngasih kadonya ke aku....pake di bungkus kado lagi...sweet banget yaah... I love you both!

My first Half Marathon - San Jose Rock and Roll
YAY! my first half marathon in San Jose.
I now can proudly say I'm a half marathon finisher - a pathetic one.
I was running so slow the 1st 7 miles due to sharp pain on my right knee.
Then the last 6.1 miles I was barely even able to walk. I can't even bend my right knee when I walked; so all the burden was to my left leg.
I can feel the pain on the left leg and also blisters on my left toes.
Even some of the walkers approached me and asked if I needed medical help and I said NO! - and told them I had to finish the race.
They said actually I didn't have to finish it, I can call the medical team and they gave me a ride to the finish line.
But I'm not a quiter so I told myself; I have to finish the race.
And sure was; 4 hours and 10 minutes later...after passed the 13th miles mark and maybe 30 feets before the finish line I forced my self to at least ran slowly.
I just wanted to make sure the photographer captured me when I was at least some kind of fake running.
But - hey I walked pass the finish line. And YES - I'm a half marathon finisher (still pathetic one)
13.1 miles = 21 km.
We stayed at the Saint Claire Hotel in downtown San Jose, a sister company hotel. I got back to the hotel and checked out afterwards.
