Looking out of the window in my bedroom, I could see the sunny sky on Sunday morning. However, it was pretty cool, which pleased me very much.
Approaching the intersection of traffic lights at the south end of North Road, I changed my mind to turn right to head to Ranch 99. Since we were going to leave for almost 3 weeks, I needed to buy some vegetables for my parents.
It might be because it was in the morning on Sunday, there weren't many shoppers inside Ranch 99 Chinese Supermarket. I hadn't shopped around vegetables' section for several years since my mom had been doing it every time we came here, I had to look through each shelf very carefully. Fortunately, I got all on the list my mom wrote for me.
Walking towards the entrance, I was called by a friend whom I hadn't talked for several years. He obviously came to this market to shop too. Interestingly, I hadn't seen an acquintant for many years even though many Chinese living in north of downtown Seattle shop here.
At the moment I walked to my van, it already passed 10 am and McDonald's probably had switched menu to lunch. Stopping by the Drive-through window of Big Foot Coffee Kiosk in this plaza, I ordered 20oz latte. A middle-aged lady greeted me and a young girl took my order. The price was $3.78 and I gave the girl 4 bucks. She quickly made the coffee through espresso machine while asking me if I needed flavor. The elder lady handed the cup to me and the young girl pulled coins from cashier handing to me. One dime slipped through my fingers and they laughed. Actually, I guessed they were wondering why this guy was so calculating because I believed every customer probably had driven away under this circumstance leaving 22 cents for the girl to drop into Tips mug by herself. As a matter of fact, what I was thinking was I probably should give more tips and it was why I took the small changes and dropped a dollar bill. I rarely bought coffee at Kiosk including this one, so I didn't mind giving more once a while. Were I a daily customer, it might have been a different case. Those two gals were pretty, but that wasn't the factor.
On my way to gym, it started raining and the weather was so comfortable of which I had been hoping. I worked out my weekend routine until 12:30 pm. On my way home, the sky was kept cloudy and I could tell it would be a nice and cool Sunday afternoon.
After lunch, I took the shower and cleaned up my reading room in which my son's stuff brought back from his dorm had been piled for two weeks.
I learned on Sounders' website that they were going to challenge Timbers in Portland today at 4:00pm but forgot on which channel the match would be televised. While searching on TV, I found NYC Rivalry's match being televised on ESPN, so I started watching its 2nd half after figuring out Sounders' match to be present on Fox1.
I learned that NYC scored first, but only 2 minutes after I'd locked the channel on ESPN, NYRB responded one goal and the match was tied.
The advertisement board of "Heineken" triggered me to go to the garage to pull a bottle of it. While I climbing the stairs, I heard the cheering on TV in my bedroom. Rushing into it, I found NYRB had scored 2nd goal.
NYC owns several star players such as David Villa and Mix Diskerud. However, they seem having a long way to go to prove themselves a MLS contender. NYRB scored a third goal to close the match.
It wasn't very exciting at the beginning of the match between Sounders and Timbers. I didn't see if Sounders were able to organize effective offense today. Neagle scored in 2nd half to tie the match, which had me even foreseeing a win.
Sounders' defense had already been very venerable today before Timbers' No. 9 made a unsavable curve ball to get back their leading position. Frei saved several balls but eventually Sounders lost 1 to 4. It's a bad one.
Drinking two bottles of Heineken, I didn't feel hungry, so didn't want a dinner. Noticing an action movie sounding pretty impressive on TV guide, I decided to watch it to close my weekend. It ended up a right Choice. John Wick is a good movie with a lot of actions in it and Keanu Reeves played a very cool retired killer who revenged for his dog. When he lost his wife, that dog sent to him became a medicine for him to regain the interest of his life.
Feeling the cool breeze through window screens in reading room, I want to say this will be a night of Sleepiness in Seattle.
Of course, Celine Dion is always one of my most favorite singers all time, but I had totally forgot she ever sang this "When I fall in Love" until I searched songs related to "Sleepless in Seattle".
Though many memories are no longer worth mentioning, I still remember a video tape was brought to me after I had lost contact with one gal for so many years. It was "Sleepless in Seattle". It was probably 1994.
Romance should be forever beautiful, so I want to keep the last one in my dream without bringing it back to reality... Anyway, love might only happen in 20th Century no matter where.
