I’ve been busy this weekend enjoying the San Diego weather and the scenery. To add to that enjoyment, I have never been happier about my bike-related purchases.

I haven’t been able to hit up the gym lately and I’ve been meaning to interject some exercise into my daily routine. I also thought about being able to save money from getting gas and not being so dependent on driving.

Why drive to work when it’s only four blocks away?

But this weekend, Janelle, Justin, Sis, Dad and I biked from Mission Bay to, Pacific Beach, Belmont Park, around Sea World and back, all in one night! I wish I was able to plot my trail so I could see how many miles we’ve covered. The very next day, we biked most of the 56 trail, from Black Mountain to Carmel Valley and back. The downhill was definitely a lot of fun but the uphill proved to be rigorous. I almost gave up one time but felt accomplished I completed the trail without getting off the bike. And today, just eased up on biking Nobel, near my parents.

I’d have to say that night bike riding is a lot more fun and it’s not as hot. I’m excited to discover more bike trails in San Diego!

I don’t know I became a transplanted Watchmen fanatic. I read an article on Gizmodo about how you can watch the Watchmen trailer the day before The Dark Knight’s opening in the theaters. I don’t know exactly what the pull was but I was hooked after watching the trailer!

My Wordpress tshirt finally came in the mail! I was suprised to receive the shipment so quickly. I ordered it on Tuesday/Wednesday and I got it Friday afternoon.

My friends kidded with me that I’m a nerd for buying this tee. What can I say? Wordpress is awesome like that.

Unfortunately, I won’t be going to the Comic Con this year due to my busy schedule. But it’s not going to stop me to talk about it! I’m filled with Comic Con envy, I’m almost willing to do anything to get a four-day pass. Check out what my schedule would’ve been after the break.

This one was emailed to me by my friend, CJ:

The main reason we must always remember to hold our chin up whenever negative thoughts try to drag us down is that whichever direction we choose first, in that moment, is the one the rest of us will follow. — Guy Finley

As soon as I got home today, I called all of the Apple Stores in San Diego: Otay Ranch, UTC and Fashion Valley. Not much luck with the first two until I called Fashion Valley. They were only selling the white iPhones. Janelle wasn’t so keen on the white one. She was set on getting a black one just like me.

When I told her that they had a few in stock, she couldn’t wait any longer. We scurried to the closest Apple Retail Store and stood in line. Luckily enough, the line wasn’t very long.

We waited about two hours until someone could help us. Would you believe Janelle went shopping as I stood in line? She made me her line placeholder! Hehe, it’s okay. I would’ve done the same thing to kill time.

All in all, I’m happy that Janelle got her iPhone. Consider it her Birthday present
