Hula's Island Grill, Santa Cruz,CA
My husband and I's favorite spot for a quick food trip is Hula's Island Grill located in downtown Santa Cruz. A small restaurant that is 20minutes drive away from our little home. My husband's passion for a tropical environment was enormous. The amazing music that will sooth you while enjoying the delicious food and the small talk with your company was just perfect. And this is what the restaurant has to offer to locals in the paradise of Santa Cruz. They have the Hawai'i atmosphere to feel and absorb plus the warm welcome and treatment from the staff. We just love it. Every once in a while we would visit this place for our favorite Hula's burger, Teriyaki New York Steak and my husband's Muay Thai and Margarita. They never fail in giving us the 5 star service that we always look for to every place we go to and as we gave back, a generous tip is always willing to wait.

Driving Lesson Done!
My driving lesson ended last Friday. I am more confident and even felt better this time. I can now drive at freeway at 65 to 70mph. (70mph is illegal)...so that's what I should be working on, to get familiar with the speed limit wherever I am driving. Sometimes I would went too fast, my trainer would even have to yell on me coz I even make a turn faster than what should I have done. Now I need more practice, needed someone to go with me everytime I need to go out for a drive while not having the professional driver's license. But unfortunately my husband can't sit beside me even once after the lessons coz he was too busy about work and don't wanna bother him for now. Hoping that one of this days we would have the opportunity to go driving, maybe end of September or October I am ready to take the DMV Road Test. My husband want me to take more lessons with the driving school I am enrolled but I completely denied it because we're just gonna waste our money paying them for just sitting behind me while giving me direction where in fact he could do it himself. Also, if I'll gonna do that it would be like spending my 2days pay from work just for 2HOURS lesson with my trainer. Not a good idea though he's paying it for me.
Life is expensive huh. I paid $289 for 6HOURS driving lesson (i mean my husband). $49 per hour for successive lessons, naaaahhh! >.<

FIRST DRIVING LESSON
It's August 11, 2011, i had my first driving lesson from the driving school I am in. So far, my instructor said I did it great today. Before we started, I assumed that were just gonna drive around the streets here near us but luckily we went through the high way going to the next town (not the busy street). I had accomplished 45 to 50mph on my first day and I can't believe that I was able to do that and somehow felt comfortable. of course, my instructor was very attentive, thanks to his own break pedal under his seat. It was fun, but still I need to work on break so we don't bang our head when I did it not-so-gently. also, the road line estimate not to occupy at least the next lane and alertness to oncoming traffic from parking lots.
We've been to 3 point U-turn lesson also and backing up which I think he made it advance (I'll have another instructor on my next lesson) . U-turn is a bit easier than backing up but he said, that's what everybody always find difficult. Practice is needed so better try it more often coz that's one of the DMV exams most critical error an examinee has always failed.
It was pretty good. Better luck next time...:)

Work
It was July 27 when I started my first job here in US. So far, I am enjoying it. There were lots of things to learn but people are also helpful and nice.
But after that day, I also got a call from another company I applied for to come for an interview which I did not go because I have work schedule in that day they want me to come.
Last Sunday, July 31, I got another call from another company I had applied to come for orientation after the interview I made with them. They were the very first interview I had before the current offer I got from the company I worked now but it took 2 weeks they made another call so I accepted the second one.
But i think I made the right choice so far, I have enough number of work hours given and just fair rate I guess.
Good Luck to me.
