Date in Japantown!

Not that type of date lol XD~ My friend flew in from Hawaii to San Francisco this past week for work training and he finally had some downtime so we met up in the city. He lived pretty close to Chinatown so I picked him up from Portsmouth and then we went to Japantown for dinner. It was so good to see him. I haven't seen him since we graduated college so it was really nice. He bought me dinner and was a total gentleman, which was very new to me. He's always been courteous to me, but I just haven't had a guy buy me dinner before so I was pretty touched.

We walked around Japantown and I went to Nijiya to buy some groceries -- I wanted some fruit, but they didn't look all too healthy =_= so I just got some dried foods, stew seasoning, and bread. I'm going to be making some beef stew tomorrow along with beef & veggie soup so it'll be perfect with the seasoning that I got ^__^ I also went to Kinokuniya and bought a magazine plus piano book so I did very good today ^__^ I didn't spend anymore than necessary ^__^ Be Proud of Me XD~!

After I bought some stuff from the bookstore, we went to one of the restaurants I like there and had dinner. I had Zaru Cha Soba and it was pretty good. For some reason it was so hot out that I wanted something cold lol ^_^; Actually, everyone was wrapped up in extra layers, but I was really hot for some reason. I hope I'm not getting sick or something @_@;

Anyway, we chatted over dinner. He passed all four parts of the CPA exam so now he just needs his work experience to get the license. He's always been smart so I'm jealous. I'm no good with tests so that's why I'm scared about it, but he kept encouraging me so I hope things work out ok for me. He paid for dinner today and then for my parking ticket. He carried my shopping bags, which were kind of heavy 'cause I bought those VITA drinks =_=; and he was kind enough to hold it for me T__T I'm still very touched. If I had gone with my other friend, she would have just walked around hands free and not helped, then let me carry more later =_=; *sigh*

After dinner, I drove him back to his motel and we parted T__T. I was just so happy to see him. My other friend was supposed to come too, but she decided she liked her new friends better than him so she didn't come, which was fine with me 'cause I didn't really want her there. She and him didn't exactly get along in college 'cause she's like a little kid and didn't like that he treated her exactly like one too. I don't think she gets it even now. Oh well, not my problem lol.

It was just really nice to see him and I was able to drive around San Francisco without really getting scared or anything. I mean, I was actually driving and not squirming behind the wheel! I was so proud of myself ^__^ I'm so happy that I didn't get lost *__* I'm so happy that I was able to do all of this without having to write down directions or get my GPS out. I think I can do this after all ^__^ All I needed was a little more practice was all ^___^
