Living By The Ocean Beach

The Ocean Beach is just twenty blocks away, a traffic light stilted 10 minutes drive...then its there. After years of living in the cramped spaces of Manila I always dreamed of living by the sea but the ocean is a good enough compromise. I was thinking of the tropical sea anyway, halfway across the world when I have not met the love of my life yet. So here, after nearly seven years of San Francisco living, the ocean is a comforting thought. Just barely out of sight to be out of mind, always a surprise when the day is perfect clear and I can see it from the bluff at Moraga or the nearby park at 25th Ave & Ortega. On rare carefree weekends, we will drag ourselves for an afternoon to hang by the beach, like say last afternoon of 2009. I know we should do it often but you know how it is.
