I had a burger today
Thinking aloud:
"Where is my checkbook? I need to pay some bills. I can't remember where I left it."
"I need to clean my room. I need to do the laundry, too."
"I don't want to go to work tomorrow. It's so boring!"

Okay, let me talk about the Seattle trip real quick. We really had a great time. It was very relaxing although we did a lot of walking. I think the only drawback was that we didn't like the hotel that we stayed in. Edgewater Hotel was advertised as the only waterfront hotel in Seattle, and I think it was true until last year when Marriot Waterfront opened. We should've just stayed there instead. For the rates Edgewater were charging, it was a real letdown. (We actually complained to the front desk and tried to find vacancies in other hotels, but in the end we jst decided to stay and concentrate our effort in having fun, fun, fun)
But our idea of fun is mostly eating. We went to Elliot's which most of the locals recommended as the best seafood restaurant in the city. We unfortunately arrived at a different conclusion. We also tried Icon, a new trendy restaurant that is mostly known for the 200-something glass-blown-lamps adorning the ceiling. Food was good, too, but I would take any upscale San Francisco restaurant over this in a heartbeat (Think Lulu's or Asie's) We also shopped and ate some more at Pike's Public Market.
We also wanted to go jetskiing but we found out that even though seattle has a waterfront, the beach is actually 2 hours away! So we went sailing instead and it was very relaxing. We just laid there in the boat for about two hours and enjoyed the sun and Seattle's cool breeze.
The downtown's landscape is comparable to San Francisco's Union Square. A lot of shopping buildings standing side by side with business high rises. It was great just to walk the city streets and act as one of the locals. I was mistaken as a local once, and people assumed we're from Alaska. Kay said that's because I look like an Inuit. It must be my dark features and long hair!
Seattle's a city I can see myself living in. If Frasier can live, so can I!

Work was so boring today. It was slow and there was nothing for me to do. I was just online all day posting in the Barrio. I need to find something more challenging, but then again I'm lazy anyways, so maybe not. I'll just kep on collecting my paycheck. Hoping my boss doesn't run into this blog.

Speaking of my boss, he just separated from his wife last April after being married for almost 20 years. It's sad but they are still in good terms and both said that they knew it was going to happen. Now he wants to start dating again at 52. I was shocked when he first told me it about and until know I just can't believe that they are now separated.

Oh yeah, and I had a burger today. In-N-Out, baby!

Brader this is Nick from Vancouver --- man you went to Seattle, should have dropped by our Baguio like city. If you drove 2hrs to the waterfront, that would have taken the same time and distance to Surrey (where I live). Next time stop by 'k!
