So I flew out of Sydney at around 1pm and arrived in San Francisco at around 11 am on the same day, the 15th of February. Nope, I didn't take a ride in a time machine! Since I'm traveling east from Oceania to North America I pretty much saved an entire calendar day. Woohoo!

Anyway, while Aunty Dell and Uncle Pete were driving me to Aunty Mary Anne's place I saw someone VERY familiar. I asked, and she said that it was indeed whom I thought it was. So the very next day I set out to look for him and there he was with his big, fat smile! And he's still wearing the same style of clothes. Talk about being stuck in a fashion time warp. Hehehe!

Yeah! It's been ages since I last saw Jollibee. And the funny thing is that it's here in California (which is heaps further away from Sydney as compared to Manila) that I finally get to see the unmistakably most popular fast food chain icon from back home in the Philippines.

After a few seconds of reminiscing about all the good times that we had together when I was a kid I went inside and ordered my favorite burger, the Jolli Champ! ...with coke and fries, plus a Peach Mango Pie! Mmmm! Nice!
