Pho "T" Cali – Clairemont Mesa

My husband has taken me to his favorite dining places. One of these is the Vietnamese restaurant Pho \”T\” Cali in Clairemont Mesa.

I fell in love with the place because it\’s very clean. The staff are very courteous. When they see a customer come inside they quickly greet and accommodate them. Not to mention the staff smiles a lot.

My husband had his usual Beef noodle soup with all the greens. The servings are humongous! We were able to share the big bowl.

Ooops he that single strand right there.

My forever favorite, Fresh Spring Rolls! I had the beef filling for that day

They have the peanut sauce instead of the fish sauce ensemble when I was in Vietnam. 

They have a variety of dishes in the menu aside from the above mentioned. The restaurant is huge but they get full during lunch and dinner time so plan accordingly.

Around San Diego

I\’ve been here in Chula Vista for more than 2 months. If anybody asks me how\’s my stay, my quick reply \”Love the weather!\” Seriously the weather here is awesome! No wonder my husband is proud of himself for retiring here. It\’s fall season now. The sweater weather makes me excited of wearing jackets, boots and thermal tights.
Here\’s some snapshots of some of the places I\’ve been to. San Diego is huge! It may take me a lifetime. 
In National City there\’s Jolibee.  There are lots of Pinoys residing here. That\’s why Seafood City, Red Ribbon and point-point (turo-turo) joints are everywhere.

I just want to emphasize on what is going on the side. According to Seff, the ongoing construction is one of the governments efforts to decrease traffic due to increasing population.

There\’s one highway that they name Filipino-American Highway. I think it\’s near National City. But it\’s not this freeway.

The Iconic Rooftop of Hotel Del Rey in Coronado Island

Breaker\’s Beach. The quiet and secured part of the Coronado Beach inside the Naval Base.

Hikers and cyclists paradise. The mountain range near our home.

                               

Of course! How will I forget SHOPPING. I will post a separate entry for it. I\’m with my sister-in-law Ate Marilou. She accompanied me for some good old bargain hunting.
I\’m looking forward for more food trip, hiking and sight-seeing in San Diego. I\’m taking my time.
XOXO                                          

Proud

While waiting for my mom-in-law to finish her doctors appointment, I read the next available magazine.

Look what I found! Check out the Top 10 Overall and Asia Category. No wonder I encounter tourists from US and Europe who have been to our country and they love it.

                               
I can\’t wait to visit these places with my husband. We are rooting for El Nido, Palawan.
XOXO

Cebu and Bohol

I maybe far away from home but I\’m updated of what\’s happenening. I\’m glad my lola and the rest of my relatives are OK. I hope that majority of my fellow kababayans are safe.
Devastating
This is another wishful thinking of the pork barrel money that should be used for rehabilitation…
How can we help? I checked on ABS-CBN Sagip Kapamilya site but their latest update was from Typhoon Santi. Same thing with Kapuso Foundation

Music Monday: If Life Is so Short

By request of Doc Will, I give you The Moffats!

This song is my personal favorite from their album Chapter 1: A New Beginning. The guitar chords are simple, strumming the guitar is piece of cake. The instrumental has a dope \”plucking\” shizzle ( I forgot the opposite term for strumming).

Too bad their next album was not as popular. I think they transitioned too fast, girls during my time (including me) were like \”What happened?!\” Everybody was waiting for their Chapter 2. They have outgrown the fans faster than the blink of an eye.

XOXO
