Land's End

I had posted about this hike on my tumblr awhile back (here are other film centered / personal entries), but thought that I should share it here on blogger as well:


A couple of weekends ago, Z and I went to Land's End for some hiking with our bro-dog Finnegan. According to the website, "The trails at Lands End offer a cliff-top walk through shadowy cypress, with scenic overlooks, 30-mile views of the coast, and foot access to several shoreline pocket beaches."  Finnegan, being the pudgy dog that he is, did not enjoy this excursion and was dying to get back home and sleep for the next 14 hours straight like he usually does on Sundays. You can see photos of me dragging him along the trail down below:

Finnegan's favorite part of the hike was resting on this bench for 15 minutes in the shade. What a lazy dog. I guess it's hard to move around with ease when you have the body of a baked potato.

Day to Night

On this typical San Francisco day, Z and I decided to explore a different neighborhood that we typically never venture into.  After trekking to Pacific Heights, we were determined to have brunch at a place where the Yelp reviews were "super highly recommended". We got to the restaurant and where we discovered that the line for brunch went around the street corner. Our stomachs were growling in hunger so we decided on the breakfast place right across the street. We were immediately seated and served delicious food.  Maybe next time we'll get to try the original brunch spot, but oh well.  

After brunch, we walked around for a bit, watched a movie, and then decided to take photos in front of people's houses. This sounded like a good idea at the time.

Instagram the Weekend

I still have a bunch of film that I've taken from Z and I's trip down to SoCal. We attended a wedding, visited the Huntington Library, and spend time with my family. I can't wait to see how those pictures turned out! Until then, here are some photos that I've taken using instagram to document some past weekend activities:

City life

Here are a few random snap shots that I've taken over the past couple of weeks from outings with Z to grab some coffee at the Ferry Building, walking to get tortas y sopa over on 22nd & Bryant, or having some drinks with my cousin at one of our favorite dive bars. 

Dog's Day Afternoon

Z's parents went on a quick trip to the east coast and we were in charge of dog-sitting their Half Lab / Half Golden Retriever, named Nico. Despite the obvious size difference, Nico and Finnegan are best friends and love to chase each other around in the backyard. Even though we were far from the city with its hustle and bustle, I did not mind suburbia escape because the weather was nice and warm. I am so used to always leaving the  apartment with a sweater, coat, and tights that I forget what it's like without all these layers to keep myself warm. I spent the weekend reading, relaxing, record store browsing, and thrift store shopping. Such a perfect weekend, if you ask me!
