Haunted Hallow's Eve

Happy Halloween everyone or rather have a HAUNTED Halloween! Haha. Most people in my office are dressed up today and Google is throwing a huge party this afternoon. YAY!

Well, last weekend was a success! Flora came and visited and we did fun things like play board games and watch TV. HAHA. I'm only half kidding. Friday, I picked Flora and Derrick up from the airport and brought them to Google, where we stayed for the entire afternoon. I gave them the tour and then we just sat around and talked until TGIF! I made them drink sangria with me and introduced them to other Googlers. Later, Derrick's friend, Tim, joined us for dinner at Amber India, which I've been meaning to try. Even though we waited almost an hour, the food was pretty delicious especially the Butter Chicken (very similar to Chicken Tikka Masala). I wanted to take Flora to Santana Row afterwards, but we were full and lazy. We played Catch Phrase and called it a night.

Saturday was more of an adventure. We woke up and ate an early lunch at The Counter at Santana Row before going to the Winchester Mystery House! So, it's not a spooky, haunted house, but it's just a weird house. The tour lasted more than an hour and we were told that we walked more than a mile. Craziness. Later on, we watched the pathetic Cal game at the local sports bar and headed up to SF in costume! We ended up at a house party and then walked the streets of SF, scouring for bars. We were at Holy Cow, then Icon. All in all, a completely wild night of crazy costumes. Don't make me show you a costume of GEO!!!

Sunday was pretty boring. We ate at PALACE Korean BBQ Buffet (for the 3rd time this month) and then we played Scene It at my apartment. I took Flora and Derrick to the airport later and that was the end of, yet another, albeit fun, weekend.
